Chapter 83
Seven thousand years ago, the Old Empire of Ghis was almost the most advanced civilization at the time. They prospered and ruled almost the entire Essos continent.
But only prospered for 1000 years, the sudden rise of Valyria of the Dragon and Magic civilization destroyed that empire in just several decades.
Unlike other Valyria Freeholds, the Ghis Empire is too close to the Valyrian Peninsula, leaving almost no pure blood descendant. At this time, the Ghis people in Slaver's Bay are all hybrids, and they will not even speak Ghiscari.
At this moment, the shamate-shaped Knight said to a Ghis fatty in accented Valyria: "Master Good Masters, I'll help you bring people here.
Hey, those savage Andals will not even say in the Valyria language, you should get a better translator."
Across the square is a 120-meter-high Great Pyramid, with the Mayan Pyramid Similar in shape.
The Egyptian pyramids have a lot of steps, and the steps on each side of the pyramid can be climbed by people, but the number of steps in Astapor's pyramid is mostly 33, so each level 1 is very high.
The Seven believe in the number '7', and the Ghis believe that '33' has the most mysterious meaning.
The pyramid is 120 meters high, and the Level 1 steps are 3.6 meters high.
In order to climb to the top, a normal stairway will be excavated on one of the large steps.
At this time, a comfortable soft couch was placed on the large steps at the bottom, and there was a tall fatty with brown red skin, who was wearing a Tokar robe with gold tassel-like A long, loose and drab sheet wrapped around his body and buckled at one shoulder. When walking, he needed to hold the robe with his left hand.
He's Kraznys Good Masters, a big slave dealer.
slave-master right hand grabs a short leather whip, pointing fingers at Dany and the others, his left hand picks up fruit and wine glasses from the chopping board in front of him from time to time and sends them to his mouth, and there are a pair of twin girls behind him for him Fan.
"I have the best translator, she can speak the local dialects in the corners of the world." Kraznys said, pointing to the girl beside him.
He also speaks Valyria, but with a strong Ghis accent.
Dany and the others have been standing by the fountain, waiting for the master's summon. When she heard their conversation, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why does that guy think I can't speak Valyria?"
A bright light flashed in Jorah's eyes, and indifferently said: "I did it on purpose, I hope they think you only know Westeros common language and Dothraki language."
Dany nods, and understands his caution .
"Hey, that Westeros bitch, look down," the slave trader Kraznys suddenly sat up and yelled at Dany by the fountain, "I sell meat, not iron, not Banshee statues! "
The little interpreter shouted in a slightly lingering common language: "Mother of Dragons, Lord Good Masters, please appreciate the heroic appearance of the Unsullied Warrior."
The girl is less than ten years old , a flat round face, dark skin, and Naathi's characteristic golden eyes.
Naathi lives in Naath near Basilisk Isles, known as "Peaceful People", and is the best slave in the world.
Well, too cowardly, more honest than Lhazar "sheep man".
Dany saw Unsullied as soon as he came here.
On the left side of the square stood a row of soldiers wearing spiked helmets. They were lined up in ten columns, one hundred in each column. There was no lively anger below, his eyes were emotionless, staring straight ahead, paying no attention to the Dany entire group next to him.
"They stand neatly, but that doesn't represent battle strength. I want to know more about their training. It's not going to do me any good if you just train in line and standing." Dany walked to Before the steps, he said to the little girl with a smile.
The flat-faced little black girl glanced at her curiously and said to the owner of oneself: "The Westeros woman is very satisfied with them, but has no praise, seems to want to lower the price, she also wants to know how Unsullied is Trained."
"Are Westeros pigs so ignorant?" Lord Good Masters grumbled, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "Didn't her Barbarian husband tell her '3000Unsullied to protect Qohor' story?"
400 years ago, the Old Valyria was destroyed in the cataclysm, and the political situation of the Essos continent also changed drastically. Gradually expand its power without restraint.
A Khal named Tenmo led oneself's Khalasar, representing the horse men, westward into the Great Plains of Noyne for the first time.
On the way, 20,000 screamers burned, looted, and swept through all the cities they passed.
Finally, they pass through the Forest of Qohor and stop under the city of Qohor.
Khal Tenmo used the horsemen cavalry of light cavalry to overturn the heavy cavalry of the Qohor people, scaring the two mercenary organizations, Bright Banners and Second Sons, to abscond overnight.
Just a few hours before the city was destroyed, the 3000 Unsullied ordered by Qohor from Astapor finally arrived.
Astapor was more than 10,000 miles away from Qohor, and without a moment's rest, the battle of 3,000 light infantry vs 20,000 scimitar cavalry began immediately.
In the end, Dothraki killed 12,000 people, and only Unsullied with leather armor body protection killed 2,400 people. Khal Tenmo, his sons, and Bloodriders all died on the spot.
The remaining 8000horse men walked to Unsullied who was still standing proudly on the battlefield in turn, took the initiative to cut off the braids at the back of their heads and threw them at the feet of the Unsullied Warrior to admit defeat.
(ps: This thing is true in "Song of Ice and Fire", but I personally feel that the author drank too much at the time, and his mind was confused. Even the heavy cavalry turned anus, but beat him However, the light infantry, both sides are just frontal, no strategy is used, the cavalry waits for leisure, and the infantry marches in a hurry... How is this possible? Yue family army of Yue grandfather can't fight such an awesome battle.)
The defense of Qohor has almost become Unsullied's promotional film, not to mention Essos continent, even Westeros on the other side of the Narrow Sea, it has been incorporated into the Legendary story collection and widely circulated.
Kraznys ripped bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl, smiled exaggeratedly at Dany, "Tell her the story of 3000Unsullied defending Qohor and let her startled. Tell it quickly, slave. Oh, it's so hot. Now, is Always Summer already here?"
The little slave girl vividly told the story in a vivid tone, and finally concluded: "Dear guest, please rest assured, Unsullied is in the long spear, shield card, Everyone knows that the skill on the dagger is incomparable."
Dany whispered to Jorah: "What happened to that Khal Tenmo? Horse men's face has been wiped clean by him for several lifetimes. ."
She knows screamers very well, absolutely martial skill is superb, they grew up on horseback, they are adept at bowing horses, but also fierce and unafraid of death, almost the strongest light cavalry.
She always thought that only the Westeros armored heavy cavalry could restrain them, but...
Look at the Unsullied standing next to it like a wooden stake, wearing a A conical bronze helmet with a 30cm long spike on it, a bit like the lightning rod helmet of a Qing Dynasty general, wearing only sleeveless leather armor, a 40cm long dagger stuck at the waist, and a 1 meter diameter side tied to the left wrist Foreskin wooden shield, right hand pestle with lance.
Standard light infantry attire.
How to get to the horse men's cavalry team that comes and goes like the wind and shoots arrows like rain?
"I guess that the first time Tenmo saw Unsullied, he underestimated the enemy. He probably sent the cavalry to directly attack Unsullied's shield long spear." Jorah considered his remarks.
3000Unsullied defending Qohor is a historical fact, not an illusory legend. People must have won the battle at that time. Otherwise, how can Qohor city be seen today?
Whitebeard stroked his beard and sighed: "horse men are too direct, Khal Tenmo is the first to attack, which means that he may be killed in the first wave.
The remaining Warriors don't know how to change the formation, one wave after another. If you switch to other armies, they may collapse when the casualties reach 20%, but the opponent is Unsullied. Don't back off, don't panic."
Kraznys tapped the girl's little head with the short whip in his hand, and asked irritably, "What are those savage pigs talking about?"
"The two servants are boasting to the guests of Unsullied's bravery," said the little translator.
"Hahaha, let them say it slowly, the more tempted that little bitch is, the more slaves will be bought later." The slave-master laughed a few times and clapped his hands , summoned a group of young female slaves in silk clothes and trousers, who walked up to Dany and the others and held up silk striped parasols for them.
Umbrellas don't help, Slaver's Bay is particularly hot, the sun has been hot since Dawn, and the thick red bricks of the Plaza of Pride are baked hot and hot through the thick The soles of the shoes can also feel the heat from the feet.
Waves of hot air rose, making Astapor's stepped pyramids around the square look like a mirage.
"Unsullied, my good slave!" Kraznys shouted, raising the silver whip in his hand, "Put down your shield and lance, take off your leather armor, and let the Westeros women have a good look at your strong body. "
"crash-bang!"
A thousand warriors like clay sculptures and stone carvings came to life at once, they bent down neatly and put down their shields and lances, and quickly solved the problem. He wore leather armor and silk trousers, leaving only the white linen wrapped around his waist and crotch and the lightning rod helmet on his head.
Soon they stood up straight again so that the Queen of Westeros could take a closer look.
Dany really went to take a closer look, and sure enough, they all have strong and tall bodies.
The same eunuch, Belwas has a big belly like a pregnant woman, but they all have more than four-pack abs.
The slave girl told her: "They are selected based on size, speed and strength. They have been trained since the age of five. They practice every day from Dawn until dark, until they are proficient in the short sword, shield and three lance's skills.
The training was so severe that only one of the three boys survived, a fact as everyone knows.
There is a saying about Unsullied - from winning the spiked cap From that day on, the hardest life is over, and any mission from now on will be less severe than the original training."
Kraznys does not know the common language, but still listens while pretending not to understand. Nodding, when the little translator finished speaking, he said triumphantly: "Tell that Queen who lost her kingdom, my good slaves have been standing there since yesterday.
one day one night, without eating. , did not drink water.
Tell her that as long as I do not order the disbandment, the slaves will stand still until they fall; with her, even if nine hundred and ninety-nine fall on the brick Die on the ground, and the last one will still stand motionless until his oneself death. Tell her, this is the courage of Unsullied."
When the serious-faced little translator finished speaking, Whitebeard angrily used The hardwood cane slammed into the ground and said to Dany in a low voice, "That's not courage, it's madness. Let's go, people here are crazy!"
