The desolate sound of horns came from the port of Pentos.
Boom——
At the same time, a melodious giant bell rang.
Wow...
One after another, huge warships hung the three-headed dragon flag, splitting the waves rushing against the pier, and docked at the port of Pentos in order, making a dull and huge sound.
On the deck of the warship, a brightly armored warrior stood here holding a spear and a round shield. Their expressions were serious and meticulous, like ruthless killing machines.
soon.
Wow——
The iron ropes made a sound, the warship secured its position with anchors, the people on the port and the people on the ship exchanged words loudly, and then the ship's gangway was lowered.
A fat man wearing a khaki robe and his hands covered with gorgeous jewelry rings stepped off the warship.
He is the finance minister of the new dynasty.
Illyrio, who traveled thousands of miles to Astapor to purchase the Unsullied, has returned.
He led Viserys to plunder the vast wealth of the Governor House of Pentos to Slaver's Bay, and brought back five thousand elite Unsullied warriors.
He spent nearly a year there without any news, and Viserys even thought Illyrio had lost contact.
But today he finally returned.
As an elite force, the number of five thousand Unsullied is already extremely large, and their combat effectiveness is even more astonishing.
Illyrio was very eloquent and bargained with Viserys' wealth, and finally bought out almost all the Unsullied in Astapor.
You must know that there are only 8,000 qualified Unsullied in Astapor, and the rest are still half-finished products that have not been trained.
Astapor attaches great importance to the quality of its products. Unsullied people who have not completed training will never sell them as finished products.
That would only affect the reputation of the Unsullied and the goodwill of Astapor.
The Unsullied Legion composed of five thousand warriors stayed in the port, and Illyrio, who had just completed his mission and returned to Pentos, boarded the carriage and came to the palace on the top of the Nine Towers.
"Lord Mopatis."
Servants along the way saluted him.
But Illyrio ignored him and hurriedly came to see Viserys and asked about the arrangements for the next five thousand Unsullied.
"Is this the harpy?"
Viserys played with a baton handed to him by Illyrio. It is said that the Unsullied will carry out the orders of the one who holds this baton unconditionally.
Even if it means attacking their former master.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The fat Illyrio stood in front of Viserys' desk and spoke respectfully.
This long journey had no other effect except that his skin became a little darker due to long-term exposure to the sun.
He didn't even lose weight because of it. It seemed that no matter where he went, Illyrio never forgot to enjoy himself.
"Bricks and blood made Astapor, bricks and blood made her people."
"Astapo was once a colony of the Kingdom of Gith. The symbol of the Kingdom of Gith is this monster with the body of a woman and the arms of a bat with wings."
"Later, the Kingdom of Gurgith was destroyed by the Valyrian Freehold about five thousand years ago. Today, Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen are all cities built by the survivors of the Gurgith Empire.
"
Illyrio explained that Slaver's Bay was built on the ruins of the Kingdom of Gith and has now become the central hub of the world's slave trade.
"How do you plan to arrange these Unsullied warriors?"
Then Illyrio asked.
If using the Unsullied to maintain city defense is indeed a bit too luxurious, these elite warriors should not just be used to do these simple tasks.
However, there is no war in the kingdom now, and the Unsullied have no other good place to go except staying in the city. Moreover, the Unsullied will not rob or rape, so it is the best choice to maintain the city defense.
"Leave them in Pentos first."
Viserys pondered for a moment and then spoke.
If a war is about to break out and they are transferred away to join the war, for Pentos, the main thing now is to recuperate and recuperate. The previous wars were too frequent, and Viserys still needs to let the soldiers calm down and get enough rest.
Quietly waiting for the battle between the Seven Nations led by Robert and the White Walkers.
In the afternoon.
Viserys rode on a white horse and inspected the Unsullied troops in the most magnificent square in Pentos.
An Unsullied warrior stood motionless in the cold wind under the sun with his chest raised and a spear and buckler in hand.
"This is the king of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, the legal ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the whole realm, the Lord of Andalos, the guardian of Pentos, the crowned 'true dragon' Viserys by the Seven Gods
·His Majesty, King Targaryen III.”
The guard with a high voice standing next to Viserys chanted loudly, the surroundings were silent, and the sound spread far away.
Phew~
A cold wind blew by.
The five thousand Unsullied warriors below did not make the slightest sound. Their faces under the spiked helmets were firm and their eyes were dead. Viserys's long title and brilliant light could not change their color in the slightest.
"from now on!"
"He is your king!"
The guard gulped again when he saw this scene, and then continued to shout at the top of his lungs, trying hard to be heard by all the Unsullied.
However, the eyes of these Unsullied ones were all fixed on the young man with long silver-gold hair and the Harpy baton hanging around his waist.
They did not submit to Viserys because he was a king, a guardian, or a dragon lord.
It's because of the Harpy baton hanging on his waist, which is equivalent to the tiger talisman that commands the Unsullied.
The most important point in the 'training' received by the Unsullied, even more important than their combat skills, is...
obey.
Viserys rides on a snow-white steed, with the harpy's baton hanging from his waist.
Quietly looking at the Unsullied Legion arrayed in front of them, a strong pressure came over them.
This is the visual and psychological oppression caused by the uniformity of five thousand people.
"It's really scary."
"Everything about the Unsullied is in the service of obedience."
Viserys said silently in his heart.
Including cutting off their male characteristics, allowing them to focus on fighting without any other desires. Erasing their personality, emotions, self and even their humanity.
After obtaining the spiked helmet of the Unsullied, they must wear masks and go to the slave market, buy a newborn baby, kill the baby in front of its mother, and then compensate the newborn's slave owner for his losses.
The guards around Viserys had finished speaking, but the Unsullied below remained motionless and did not respond at all.
Viserys's guard looked slightly embarrassed and turned to look at his king.
