Chapter 324 Don't Move!
"By the way, there is news about the Daenerys Targaryen you inquired about."

Pride Square.

Morgan walked at a constant speed to inspect the neatly trained troops ahead, and suddenly spoke.

Beside him, Barristan, who was a step behind, stopped when he heard his footsteps, and immediately looked up to Morgan in front of him.

"It is reported that Daenerys appeared in "Qarth" in the giant eastern city, and received a courtesy reception from Xaro Xhoan Daxos, one of the "Thirteen Giants" of Qarth."

Morgan spoke slowly.

This was the request Barristan made to himself after declaring his allegiance two months ago.

Ask yourself to find out about Daenerys Targaryen, the last bloodline of the Targaryen dynasty.

He also just received the news not long ago.

Has been in charge of Astapor for some time.

Morgan already knew the cities of power around his territory.

"Qarth" is a distant giant city located in the east of the continent of Essos, too far away from Astapor.

So the news came slowly.

This news was three months ago.

The news not only said that Daenerys Targaryen led a group of Dothrakis to Qarth, but also said that Daenerys had three real dragons and young dragons in her hands.

But there was no need to speak to Barristan about the young dragon.

The reason why Barristan was loyal to him back then was more influenced by special skills.

Because it didn't take long after the other party's allegiance.

Morgan noticed the change in Barristan's mood, and he guessed that the other party must have regretted it.

But keeping promises is one of the knight's virtues.

Not to mention a former Kingsguard captain with a reputation like Barristan.

So, as Morgan predicted.

Barristan didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to be uncooperative. Instead, he obeyed his orders and arranged for him to recruit and form an army diligently.

Allegiance to Barristan.

Morgan is naturally not stingy.

The big house, the maid, and the set of expensive and exquisite armor on the other party were all bestowed by him.

"Quarth"

Hearing Morgan's words, Barristan couldn't help but voice some doubts.

He was too strange to Qarth.

"A city located in the east of the sea, far away from here."

"The whole of Qarth is dominated by the "Thirteen Giants" and several powerful chambers of commerce. So, you don't have to worry about the situation of that Daenerys Targaryen."

Morgan continued: "The news came from three months ago."

for the time of the message.

Barristan was not surprised.

Given the distance, it is no surprise that message delivery times are slow.

He has now pledged his allegiance to Morgan.

Knowing that Daenerys Targaryen was doing well was enough for him.

"Thank you sir."

Barristan spoke respectfully.

Morgan stopped when he heard the sound, stretched out his hand and patted Barristan on the shoulder with a smile, and strode forward.

Barristan hurried after him.

For him, although he somehow expressed his allegiance to Morgan in a daze.

But since he has pledged his allegiance, he will definitely serve Morgan with all his heart.

He could even be loyal to Robert Baratheon who overthrew the Targaryen dynasty.

Not to mention Morgan, who already had a good impression.

What's more, Morgan's trust in him now also makes him feel valued from the bottom of his heart.

"The troops will be handed over to you"

"I'm going to see results in a month."

At the edge of the square, in front of the carriage, Morgan withdrew his gaze and looked at Barristan beside him and spoke.

Barristan was confident: "My lord, you will see."

Morgan nodded.

Then got into the carriage.

The large carriage escorted by Unsullied warriors slowly headed towards the square.

Morgan sat in the exquisite carriage.

In my mind, I recalled the scene of the thousand-man troops training on the square.

Although it looks a lot worse than the army of the Unsullied.

But being able to train to that level in just one or two months is already pretty good.

this world.

It is actually a very expensive, labor-intensive and time-consuming thing to form and train an army by yourself.

This is also the reason why many forces hire mercenary groups.

You only need to pay a sum of money, and you can easily have a fully armed army to serve yourself.

But Morgan didn't believe those mercenaries who were blind to money.

Although in terms of guards and small-scale battles, the mercenaries performed well.

But once it's time for a big war.

The mercenaries who are hired purely with money show poor warrior qualities.

It's okay when the battlefield has the upper hand.

Once you encounter setbacks or the situation is unfavorable.

Those mercenaries from the mercenary group will definitely turn around and run away as soon as they see that the situation is not good.

This situation has already happened frequently in the whole world.

In order to avoid this situation, even some forces will sign various guarantee agreements with the mercenary group.

But at the moment of life and death, the mercenaries who are used to being wild will not care so much.

Morgan wants to break into Westeros.

It is necessary to have a sufficient number of troops, just relying on an army of Unsullied is not enough.

He didn't trust the mercenary group, so he had to train by himself.

But training alone is too slow.

At that time, prisoners of war will also be an important source of soldiers.

Anyway, step by step
The large carriage headed towards the Governor's Mansion in the center of the city at a constant speed.

busy street.

All the people who encountered the convoy quickly avoided.

"Those black-armored warriors are Unsullied, right?"

At this time, on the side of the street, several tourists who had just arrived in Astapor asked the tour guide beside them: "Which slave owner's convoy is this again? It looks more majestic than the big slave before."

"No, no, that's not a slave owner."

The thin young tour guide hurriedly said.

"In Astapor today, it is no longer the slave owner who has the final say, but the governor."

"And the convoy that can be escorted by Unsullied Warriors can only come from the Governor's Mansion."

"You just need to remember in the future that the convoy that meets the escort of the Unsullied Warriors should stay far away."

"All right."

"By the way, can we go and see the Governor's Mansion?"

"Yes, but we can only see it from a distance, we can't get close to the Governor's Mansion."

"Of course."

"."

Worm River Estuary.

Astapor port terminal.

As a large mast ship slowly approached the busy dock.

The Unsullied patrol team patrolling the port seemed to have noticed something, and immediately walked quickly to one of the piers.

"finally reached."

Jorah Mormont couldn't help sighing as he looked at the bustling port that was getting closer and closer.

After drifting on the vast sea for more than two months, only those who have experienced it can understand the feeling of being in the city at this moment.

"Finally here"

Daenerys Targaryen's eyes were firm, and she secretly spoke in her heart.

"boom"

With a slight shaking sound, the mast ship finally docked, and cheers erupted in the cabin behind him.

Jorah Mormont jumped off the big boat and greeted the approaching dock managers.

Daenerys turned her head, looked at the Dothraki followers behind them who were wearing leather armor, holding weapons, and carrying large bags on their backs, and gave an order.

The tormented Dothraki immediately jumped onto the pier one by one eagerly.

For the Dothraki who have lived on the grasslands all their lives.

This journey of more than two months at sea was definitely a journey comparable to hell, which made them extremely painful.

At this time.

The Unsullied patrol squad wearing the iconic black full armor has quickly arrived in front of Daenerys Targaryen and her party.

"Dothraki, tell me your purpose in Astapor!"

The captain of the Unsullied team clasped his shield tightly in one hand and held a spear in the other, looking at the huge team with nearly 100 people in front of him with an extremely serious expression, he shouted in a deep voice.

Looking at the team of Unsullied warriors waiting in front of them.

Jorah Mormont immediately turned around and shouted to everyone behind him, "Don't move! Don't move!"

Immediately, he raised his hands high and walked towards the Unsullied Captain who was speaking with a smile on his face.

It didn't take long.

A horse left the port pier and walked quickly towards the huge city behind.
