Chapter 333 Iron and Blood, Dragon and Sword!

Sunny weather.

A few white clouds hang high in the sky.

Astapor in early spring.

There was still a hint of coldness in the air.

The salty sea breeze blows over this ancient city.

day to day.

city ​​center.

Pride Square.

This noisy square, which was specially built for the slave trade and was usually used by all the slave owners in the city to demonstrate their strength and slave trade, was extremely quiet at this moment.

Except for the howling wind blowing from the distant sea.

Not a trace of unnecessary noise could be heard in the entire square.

austere, solemn, oppressive
Various auras not only enveloped the sky above the square, but also enveloped the hearts of countless people in the entire city.

on the square.

A large number of Unsullied armies fully armed with black armor formed a queue and lined up neatly.

Densely packed.

Several tall flags stood upright.

Above the flag, with bright red as the background color, a beautifully shaped black long sword stands upright in the center. On the slender sword, a ferocious black dragon climbs and surrounds, overlooking all living beings.

He looked away from the big flag that was whistling in the wind in front of him.

Morgan, standing on the high platform in the square, nodded secretly in his heart.

This flag badge was designed by him.

A few days ago, when Morgan held a meeting and set the time to send troops to Yunkai.

All of Astapor was busy.

Missandei, the grand clerk, took on the important task of designing the flag emblem for the owner, and the three flag samples designed by the city hall sent successively failed to satisfy him.

Morgan decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Yunkai" and "Meereen", which are sister cities with Astapor, don't even have a serious army, and naturally they don't have any formal family badges.

Astapor has an army of the Unsullied, as well as the emblem of the Unsullied: a red eagle with the body of a woman, the wings of a bat, the legs of an eagle and the tail of a scorpion, with a pair of sharp claws and a shackle. body image.

Morgan is naturally dissatisfied with this kind of badge imprint, he will definitely not adopt it, and he is not allowed to continue to use such a badge imprint for the army of the Unsullied who already belonged to him.

After a lot of searching and consulting information and deliberation.

He made a badge of his own.

The embroidered black dragon naturally represents the black dragon "Siglia" that he personally hatched.

As for the exquisitely shaped upside-down long sword, it is his current saber: "Gramdrin".

This high elf sword that he brought from Middle-earth to the continent under his feet has witnessed his growth along the way, which is of great significance.

Siglia is his greatest achievement in this world.

And "Gramdrin" represents himself even more.

The black dragon clings around the long sword.

It means that he will take little Siglia to fight the world.

This is where the emblem pattern comes from.

As for the blood-like bright red background of the flag.

It means the iron and blood of killing, but also to highlight the emblem of the black dragon sword.

When such a badge first appeared before Barristan the Captain.

Barristan, who had been loyal to the Targaryen dynasty for a long time, saw at a glance that the coat of arms designed by Morgan was somewhat similar to the family coat of arms of the Targaryen family.

There are also dragons, and they are also black and red.

But Morgan didn't care.

Of course, he knew about the seven national emblems of Westeros, red, yellow, green, blue, white, and black in various colors, almost all the colors of the rainbow were used by them.

He doesn't want to make too complicated colors.

What's more, the red and black colors have the same meaning as his design badge.

The cold wind blew the tall and handsome flag.

In the vast square, the eyes of all the soldiers of the army fell on the majestic and tall figure in the dark red armor on the high platform in front of him.

at this time.

"Roar"

With a deafening roar suddenly resounded through Astapor.

Soon, a huge shadow appeared over Pride Square.

It is nearly seven meters long, covered with black and red thick cuticles, from the neck to the back and the sharp spines at the tail, and a huge terrifying head full of ferocious horns.

When the gigantic monster with a wingspan of more than ten meters in cold steel armor landed next to the high platform of the square.

In the entire square, everyone and all warriors felt the coercion brought by the dragon Siglia.

First thing on the ground.

The black dragon Siglia habitually put her head on the high platform, and stretched it out in front of her father.

Looking at the hideous and terrifying big head in front of him.

Although Morgan sighed in his heart that Siglia would never be as cute and ugly as she was when she was a child, but there was a rare smile on her face, a pampering smile.

It was the first time he laughed today.

Morgan stretched out his hand and stroked the hideous head in front of him several times.

Siglia was satisfied and moved her head away.

This kind of picture is actually just the daily life of Morgan and Siglia, and many people in the Governor's Mansion know it.

But in the eyes of most of the fighters in front of them, it was obviously the first time.

They all know that the giant dragon that can be seen in the sky from time to time is raised by the governor.

But seeing the closeness and dependence of the terrifying giant beast on the governor at such a close distance still shocked the soldiers in the army in the square.

This also strengthened the confidence of all soldiers.

His eyes returned to the army in front of him.

He looked at the Unsullied warriors in black armor and lined up neatly in square formations.

And there is also a new army who also wears black armor, but the shape of the armor is slightly different.

Morgan quickly recovered his cold and majestic face without saying anything, just waved his hand.

The thousand commanders standing at the forefront of the army immediately understood, and immediately turned around and shouted at the troops behind them: "Let's go!"

"set off!"

"set off!"

With the sound of orders, the black army began to move out of the square.

Going out with a large army is never a small matter.

What's more, it is still an army of [-], the number of troops of an entire army.

The black army slowly moved outside the city.

Accompanied by the army, there are also a large number of carriages and carts carrying a large amount of dry food, wine and water, walking behind.

Watching the troops walking out of the square one by one phalanx after another.

Morgan thought secretly.

At this time, he had a total of 3000 regular army troops.

Eight thousand elite veterans of the Unsullied, four thousand new recruits of the Unsullied, and his new army of 1000 men led by Barristan.

Except for these regular armies.

There are also many mercenaries who are also working for Morgan.

A total of 1 troops were dispatched to defeat Yunkai this time.

Among them, the 1000 Unsullied recruits plus the [-] new army led by Barristan were all dispatched, and the remaining [-] were the Unsullied elite.

This attack on Yunkai, and on Meereen afterward.

Not only for looting wealth, but also for training soldiers.

Just go through one war.

Only rookie recruits can quickly transform.

When Meereen is taken.

Morgan estimated that as long as the [-] recruits survived, they would have basically completed their training.

wait until then.

Presumably, the chaotic situation on the other side of the Narrow Sea should be much clearer.

His own plan to attack the continent of Westeros can also be put on the agenda.

on the square.

The army continued to move outward in an orderly manner.

Beside the high platform.

The clerk Missandei, the chief executive Aphra, and several senior officials of the city hall are standing together.

The governor on the high platform did not move, and no one dared to leave early.

At this time.

Aphra suddenly walked towards the high platform.

Such a move shocked everyone around, as well as many people who were qualified to participate in today's mobilization meeting.

The Governor-General doesn't usually show up much.

In the hearts of most people, it is extremely majestic.

All the disobedient and rebellious slave masters killed at the beginning were not joking.

But everyone knows that Aphra is the head of the governor's mansion, and she is also the first woman who followed the governor to Astapor.

No one was stupid enough to tell her a joke even if they were whispering to each other.

"what happened?"

Seeing Aphra approaching, Morgan's cold face eased a lot.

"Master, I."

"I also want to travel with the army and go to Yunkai with my master."

Aphra struggled a bit, but she still said what she was thinking.

Ever since she knew that her master would bring Missandei with her in this battle, and she could only stay in Astapor, she has been depressed.

Although the relationship with Missandei is very good.

But she is still a woman, and the consciousness of competing for favor is innate, let alone her first.

Morgan immediately understood what Aphra was thinking, and then smiled and said, "This place is also very important."

"Take care of our home."

"good"

Morgan's gentle smile almost instantly defeated Aphra's depression and dissatisfaction these days.

When Aphra stepped down from the high platform, she still felt like she had eaten honey in her heart.

Sweet.

Because she felt that the master's attitude towards her has not changed.

Just like in the long journey from the Free Cities of Pentos to Astapor.

That was the happiest time she ever had.

on the high platform.

Watching the army on the square become less and less.

Morgan looked at the gigantic dragon beside him.

He felt his father's gaze.

Siglia immediately approached the high platform.

Morgan walked to the edge of the high platform and jumped lightly onto Siglia's broad spine covered with thorns.

Everything in Astapor has been discussed.

it's time.

Sitting on the back of the giant dragon, Morgan reached out and patted the giant beast under him: "Let's go."

"Roar"

Siglia immediately screamed excitedly, jumped up after a few run-up steps, spread her wings and flew towards the vast sky.
