Although Daenerys led the Unsullied Legion to capture Yunkai, how to govern the city-state next became a problem.
The little queen flew to Astapor alone on a giant dragon, so she did not have any talented people around her who could assist in the government, only the Unsullied. However, although the Unsullied are good at fighting,
But it is obvious that he has no experience in governing a city-state.
After Daenerys ruled Yunkai, just like the religious war she launched, the first thing she did was to clean up all the temples of evil gods in Yunkai.
The reason why the Red God Religion spread widely is closely related to the slavery system. It can be said that wherever there are slaves, the Red God Religion is spread. These red-robed monks are very good at inciting the emotions of the slaves.
After Daenerys cleaned these temples, her second order was to liberate all the slaves in Yunkai City.
The city of Yunkai is famous for its arenas and brothels. Daenerys disbanded these fighters and incorporated them into her own army, expanding the strength of her army so that she could better rule the city-state.
Daenerys liberated the slaves of Yunkai and became famous far and wide, so she received the titles of "Liberator" and "Breaker of Shackles".
Although she was eager to continue marching towards Meereen, unlike her original trajectory, she became more calm this time and decided to stabilize the rule of Yunkai before leaving. Otherwise, as soon as she leaves, Yunkai will recover.
As is.
"What to do with those Yunkai nobles who were captured alive?"
Daenerys fell into deep thought. She was trying to recall her husband's method of dealing with things. If Viserys faced this situation, what would he do?
…
Daenerys, the young queen of the empire, led an expedition to the east. She captured Yunkai and then stayed here briefly.
Then the sword was pointed at Meereen, the largest city-state in Slaver's Bay, and continued to cleanse the belief in the evil god, including the harpy, and at the same time liberate all the slaves here.
Meereen is ruled by a group of slave owners called the Great Lords. They have also received news of the fall of Yunkai long ago and are fully prepared for war.
They invited many mercenary groups, and even promised an unimaginable price to the Dothraki in the north, and went all out to face the challenge of the little queen.
Therefore, the clouds of war have shrouded the land of the Gughis Empire. In the northernmost part of Slaver's Bay, in the Skazhadan River Basin, the two sides are at war with each other, and a war is about to break out.
This is the local war in Slaver's Bay, and throughout the entire continent of Essos, the dragons coming from the west have started a raging fire of war, and smoke is everywhere in the entire continent of Essos.
This is the second war that has broken out on the continent of Essos since the long night fell. This war radiated a vast area and the number of people was almost comparable to the bloody century hundreds of years ago.
It was during the bloody century of turmoil and war that powerful forces that had been arrogant in the past fell, and new rising forces began to gradually take over the entire world.
But this war of faith is different from the melee of the bloody century. This war that radiates across the entire continent is clearly divided into two factions.
One of them is a person who firmly believes in the gods, is willing to go into battle for his beliefs, is driven by the will of the gods, in the name of holy war, and even violates his own honor and morality, and naturally kills people without blinking an eye.
In the past, these honest people did not dare to do things, but once they had the will of the gods as their endorsement, the demons in their hearts were released.
On the other side, there is the godless faction dominated by the Valyrian Empire army. They are either like hunting dogs and have never believed in the gods, or they once believed in the gods but later abandoned them.
There are no gods in their hearts, they believe that every ordinary person is worthy of faith and respect, they believe in and love this country deeply, and they are only willing to obey the orders of the emperor and empress.
If His Majesty the Emperor asks them to kill people, they will kill people and strictly abide by orders and prohibitions. Military discipline is strict.
However, since they have adopted the slogan of overthrowing the gods, they will inevitably cause a backlash.
More and more gods have begun to convey oracles to their believers, angrily demanding that believers rise up to resist and destroy these mortals who are arrogant and want to destroy the gods.
That's why these believers picked up their farm tools, shovels, and hoes, and carried a pot on their backs as shields. They gathered together to become a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, although the empire destroyed many city-states, it gained absolute upper hand in a short period of time.
But once caught in the vast people's war, this battle of faith is destined not to end in a short time.
This battle will inevitably last for a long time in the future, and it is difficult to determine the outcome now.
While the continent of Essos was raging with war, there was peace under the rule of the Valyrian Empire.
Under the rule of the empire and the hard work of the propaganda machine for many years, most civilians in the empire have subconsciously formed the impression that imperial power is higher than divine power. Even the Archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods is a member of the Targaryen family.
Therefore, the empire was not greatly affected by this religious war, and production and life were still carried out in a stable and orderly manner.
Even the wars on the distant continent of Essos did not attract more attention in King's Landing than the tourney.
Because this competition to select the Kingsguard lasted for about a month and finally came to an end.
Now only the last ten knights are left to compete for the final championship. The knight who wins the championship will receive a huge reward of 10,000 golden dragons and honors.
Knight was originally a term among the Andals and the Church of the Seven Gods, but now under the rule of the Valyrian Empire, knights have lost more of their religious color, and those who are canonized knights do not need to apply holy oil.
Because Viserys has separated imperial power from divine power, and established the basic system that imperial power is higher than divine power a long time ago.
Therefore, the term knight now symbolizes more of a title, which is the most basic nobility.
The oaths they swore were also to swear allegiance to the Emperor and the Queen, instead of being just, brave, protecting the weak, protecting women, etc.
Among the remaining ten knights, many were knights who had performed brilliantly in the first round of the team competition.
Among them are Dickon Tarly, the younger brother of Samwell, the patriarch of the Tully family, and Beric Dondarrion, Earl of Blackport, as well as his former squire, but has become a rising star.
He is the new-generation swordsman "Sword of the Dawn" Edric Dane who stunned the audience in the first round of the martial arts tournament and made the audience unable to help but stand and applaud.
The remaining ones include 'Giant Prince' Attis, Brienne of Tarth, Robert's son Gendry, 'Little Wolf Girl' Arya Stark, and three other outstanding knights.
