I Became the Mother of Dragons

          At noon on the second day, under the watchful eyes of soldiers armed with crossbows, the hanging basket at the corner climbed up the city wall.

The Tattered Prince took a few steps, came to the gondola, and said to the woman squatting inside: "Meris, why did they let you back?"

After yesterday's pursuit, the Yunkai people were terrified, and the city gate was directly blocked by sandbags and stones.

Meris came to the city gate alone, and could only dismount and take the basket "lift".

The 'beautiful' torturer glanced at the disguised Wise Masters behind the head of the regiment, climbed out of the large basket, and said plainly: "The Mother of Dragons let me come back to spread the word, and I have to finish it, go back and be a prisoner."

"What doe she wish to relay?" Grazdan asked quickly.

He and a few Wise Masters took off their Tokar robes and replaced them with the yellow silk cloaks of ordinary Ghis soldiers studded with shiny bronze discs, disguised as ordinary guards, lest the Dragons single them out.

Well, in the morning, Black Dragon came over and killed three sons of the Grand Wise Masters with a 30-pound kerosene barrel.

The Pyramid of the Grand Wise Master is the largest. At about five in the morning, the sun just peaked from the horizon. The three Princes habitually went to the top garden to bathe in the morning sun.

As a result, an 'incendiary bomb' fell from the sky, and the three Princes became human-shaped torches, so miserable.

Meris didn't even look at Grazdan, and said to her leader: "The Mother of Dragons wants you to lead Windblown to her side, she will give you double the commission, or other conditions you put forward."

"Ah—" exclaimed nearby Ghis Soldiers and Wise Masters.

The Tattered Prince didn't seem to see the guarded eyes of the Ghis people, and said indifferently: "Meris, you should understand the other party's intention."

"Yes, the Mother of Dragons is provoking Windblown and Yunkai's relationship with the Wise Masters." the torturer nodded and said.

"Yes, that cunning woman wants to alienate us." Grazdan gnashing teeth, while speaking, his right hand unconsciously touched his ass…

He was hit by four arrows last night, and he should have taken good care of himself at home, but he was humiliated and almost killed once again, and he felt ashamed!

He got out of bed immediately to contribute to Yunkai's "anti-Dragonmother" cause, he is restless, sleepless, anxious… well, he wants to put his work in, to use his unremitting efforts to make up for the mistakes caused by "impersonal factors".

"If Windblown doesn't want to take refuge, it must pay the ransom to the Mother of Dragons in exchange for the one hundred and 24 members' captured," Meris said calmly.

"How much?" Tattered Prince squinted, and said, "Can we negotiate? Can't she say how much is how much?"

"At least three times from normal, but the Mother of Dragons also said she would not go against tradition and allow Windblown to send someone to negotiate tonight," Meris said.

"Tonight?" Grazdan took a few steps forward and asked, "Why isn't it this afternoon? Do you know what's going on in that woman's camp? Did those bastards go to the Emerald Lake to fetch water? When is the attack?"

Meris looked towards her commander.

"Tell him," the Tattered Prince motioned to Grazdan.

"The Mother of Dragons didn't camp at Emerald Lake, the place smelled, and she guessed that the Lord Wise Masters had polluted the lake with feces.

Her camp was divided into three parts, the front, middle and rear camps, are located five kilometers north of Yunkai, extending more than ten kilometers eastward, and there is a seven to eight-mile-long land from Emerald Lake.

The specifics of the camp I don't know, but I saw a large group of soldiers digging wells before leaving, and the Mother of Dragons was outside the camp, supervising the construction of the militia. She seemed to be busy, so she put the negotiation time at night."

"It shouldn't be…" Grazdan touched his chin and wondered: "Emerald Lake and the nearby woods are our 'perfect' campsites specially prepared for the slaves.

Throwing feces into the lake is just to deliberately lower the vigilance of that woman.

Drinking the water source contaminated by feces directly may cause illness, but it is not fatal. Just boil the water.

When she thinks we have done tricks to the lake, she will ignore the real killing move…"

"You still poisoned something?" Tattered Prince asked with a frown.

"You think we're stupid? Any poisoning and the fish won't die?" Grazdan glanced at the Windblown head arrogantly, and coldly said: "We sank 10,000 slave corpses in the lake!"

"Hiss—" The torturer, who had been sullen no matter what the situation, was as discolored as her commander, and gasped.

"You'll cause a large-scale sickness! Yunkai can't escape from that!" Tattered Prince said in disbelief.

"Slaves die one after another, but the eternal Wise Masters still stand proudly on the pyramids!" Grazdan looked proud and fierce, "We are willing to let Yunkai and the Mother of Dragons perish together."

"hmph, there is really news of the Bloody Flux outbreak, I'm afraid your group of Wise Masters will immediately close the pyramids and completely cut off contact with the outside world?" Tattered Prince coldly said.

"Tattered Prince, the Wise Masters are generous, the ransom for captured sellswords and consolation for dead sellswords, we're out," Grazdan said meaningfully with a smile to the Windblown commander.

The old captain of grey hair understood what he meant in an instant: We have money, and we are willing to pay but aren't sellswords just using money to work for their lives?

"Meris, you have added another mission to help us find out about the camp." Grazdan gave orders directly to her.

In the end, before leaving, he turned around and said: "By the way, during the negotiation tonight, help me ask the woman if our Ghis warriors can be redeemed. The price is easy to negotiate. "

The Tattered Prince looked at the silhouette of the Wise Masters leaving, his eyes gloomy.

"Meris, you come with me…"

In the afternoon of the same day, Meris and two other members were put out of Yunkai by hanging basket, and they were put together with them. Two horses came down.

In addition to Meris, a tall young Braavos man, and a burly old bearded man with a face full of vicissitudes.

The strange thing is that the old man has a two-handed greatsword hanging on his left waist, a recorder on his right waist, and an acoustic guitar on his back.

The Dothraki who had been wandering 500 meters outside the city gate immediately became alert. After Meris stepped forward to explain the reason alone, Commander Kiek waved reluctantly and told the cavalry team to clear the way.

"You came too early," he muttered.

"Maybe, but only other people wait for the Queen's sake, but no one can make the Queen wait for a long time, do you think this is the reason?" The Braavos man next to Meris said with a smile.

"hmph, you will wait, the Queen is hunting in the eastern woods and won't be back until evening," Kiek said with a smile.

The Braavos man's eyes flashed, his mouth opened and closed, he was about to ask "how many people have been there", but he immediately changed his words after seeing the ugly and cold eyes around him, "waiting for the Queen is also an honor."

A group of Dothraki from the Ten Men Squad escorted the three sellswords and headed for the camp five kilometers away.

The Braavos man's eyes wandered left and right along the way, not letting go of every militiaman who passed within his field of vision.

Three kilometers away from Yunkai, there was a sudden clamor in their ears, and the densely packed field of vision was filled with people and wood: tens of thousands of short-sleeved soldiers were working as carpenters under the command of the Unsullied.

"This is building battering rams and trebuchets!"

When they came to the gate of the camp, the Braavos were surprised again: what a tall and robust camp!

The thigh-thick wooden stake fence is 5 meters high, with two layers, inside and outside, with a two-meter-wide wall made of mud in the middle, and outside the outermost wooden fence, there are shirtless civilians.

The manors outside Yunkai were set on fire, but the wood houses where the slaves lived weren't burnt down, and the slave master's gorgeous brick villa will be left in ruins.

At this time, a group of civilians dismantled yellow bricks from the charred brick wall and pushed them to the vicinity of the camp with a peculiar wheelbarrow, and then the bricklayers began to build the wall against the wooden fence.

Such a strong camp… It seems that the Mother of Dragons is not stupid, and has the consciousness to fight a long-term siege with Yunkai.

The Braavos youth looked thoughtful.

"Just wait here, you are not allowed to go anywhere else in the camp."

The Small Captain took the three to the stable behind the camp gate and arranged for two patrolling in the camp. The Unsullied guarded them and left with the Dothraki on a voyage.

"How much work would it take to build such a strong camp? I'm afraid they won't be able to attack Yunkai in a short time." The Braavos whispered to the two companions.

"Zidan, be honest! It's up to you New Second Sons that you are willing to be a spy for the Ghis people, but don't make trouble and implicate my comrades." The old man's eyes were sharp like a blade.

"Don't worry, I'm just an escort, I won't even meet the little Queen," Braavos smiled strangely, "hehe, I pay money to do things, and only care about the reality of the Mother of Dragons army, even if you Windblown and I won't interfere when she discusses secret refugees."

"You…" The old man was furious.

Meris grabbed him and said indifferently: "Denzo, what do you do with this little guy?"

"hmph, that's right!" Denzo coldly huffed, "In order to become famous, you can even change your company's name, unafraid of being seen by the 'Second Sons' group."

"It's 'New Second Sons', not 'Second Sons'," Zidan corrected and said with a smile, "How can there be misfortune? Power and fortune are right. Just after changing the name, the small sellsword group of 20 people who were not even qualified to join the Ghis coalition suddenly swelled to 500 people.

Those stragglers heard that I was the illegitimate child of the 'Titan's Bastard' and flocked here!

Now even the Wise Masters know my name…. hehe, 200,000 Gold Honor, how is compared to your sellsword company?"

"You best pray that the Mother of Dragons doesn't know about your relationship with Mero, that man met a most miserable fate to be burned to charcoal by Dragon fire, and then bitten into pieces by two Dragons fighting for scraps…"

Speaking of this, Denzo deliberately looked up and down the uncomfortable Braavos man: "You are not too small, you are probably very chewy when roasted, the Dragons will like you."

"You know I just borrowed Mero's name, this year I turn 29 years old, how can he have a son as old as me?" Zidan said with a smile.

"The Dragon Queen is back!" Meris said suddenly.

At this time, the sky is already dusky, the camp is located on the hills, you can look at the scenery all around, and you can see a dust cloud appearing in the east.

The horses' hoofs rumbled, and thousands of cavalry, led by a red cloak Knight in front, looked like a long serpent gliding across the twilight land.

Behind the red-capped Knight is a flag bearer holding two flags, the Wings of Freedom and the Black Dragon flag on a red background.

"It's the Guards and the Mother of Dragons Guards, that red cape is the Dragon Queen, that's right!" Zidan narrowed his eyes.
