Daenerys rode through the birch forest and came to a high hill, looking at the enemies lying on the road ahead.

The flying banners bear the image of a harpy, but unlike Astapor, Yunkai's harpies hold whips and iron collars in their talons rather than chains.

In addition to the Harpy Banner, there were two other banners in the army ahead, one with four crows embedded in crossed lightning bolts, and the other with a broken sword.

"These are the Stormcrows and the Second Sons." Ser Jorah Mormont explained, "Both are well-known mercenary groups in the continent of Essos, each with around five hundred men."

The city-states in the Essos continent like to find mercenary groups to help them fight, so the appearance of the Stormcrows and the Second Sons is not surprising.

"Mercenaries are no match for the Unsullied." Daenerys is confident about this. "How strong is Yunkai's army?"

"Neither can the Unsullied be compared," Jorah said. "Yunkai is famous for training bed-slaves. Their slaves are proficient in the seven art of spring cry and sixteen pleasure positions. As for sword and spear, Not very proficient."

Daenerys became more confident when she heard this: "So, we can defeat Yunkai's army?"

"With the armies of the Unsullied, Yunkai will be at your feet," Jorah replied.

"But blood will be needed, too," Ser Barristan reminded cautiously.

Daenerys nodded slowly, victory always requires a price, of course she understands this.

While speaking, I saw a small group of cavalry walking out from the opposite position.

"It should be a messenger sent by the Yunkai'i," Jorah guessed.

"Come on, let's talk to them. Perhaps conquering this city may not require much bloodshed."

Daenerys turned her horse back to camp.

Yunkai's embassy arrived not long after.

There were about fifty riders in their party, led by a tall white camel.

On the camel was the envoy from Yunkai, named Grazdan.

"The walls of Yunkai are strong and strong, our nobles are proud and brave, our people are strong and fearless." Grazdan declared arrogantly, "Our blood is inherited from the ancient empire of Ghis. In your Valerie When the Asians were still wandering on the grasslands, the Gughis Empire had already ruled the world. Your Majesty the Queen, your road to conquest should not pass through this place."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands as a signal, and the two attendants brought up a heavy wooden box and placed it in front of Daenerys.

"Fifty thousand gold coins." Grazdan said proudly, "represents the friendship of the wise lords of Yunkai, I hope you can accept them, and then return to Westeros to take back your father's Iron Throne."

Daenerys pushed open the lid with her little feet in sandals, and as the envoy said, it was full of gold coins.

She grabbed a handful and let them slide from her fingers, bright and shining.

"Very beautiful. I don't know how many boxes like this I can find after I capture your city."

"Not one." Grazdan laughed, "because you'll never be able to."

Daenerys closed the box with her feet and said coldly;

"Bring back my words to the good lords, who have three days to free all the slaves in Yunkai, and allow them to choose freely from their master's property as reward for years of service. When the slaves are gone, my The Unsullied will enter the gates and search your cities to ensure that no one continues to be enslaved.

If only you would obey, and Yunkai would never have to go through blood and fire. "

"Are you crazy?" Grazdan said.

"Crazy indeed." A mercenary with the coat of arms of the Stormcrows tattooed on his chest laughed loudly, "Women should lie on the bed obediently, instead of trying to provoke men on the battlefield."

"If you can please everyone in my regiment, maybe I will consider changing the flag and fighting for the Mother of Dragons." Another mercenary representative laughed.

"I remember seeing a woman who claimed to be the Mother of Dragons in the Tech Academy in Braavos, or is that you?" asked another.

...

Facing the foul language of the mercenaries, Daenerys ordered in a low voice:

"Dracarys!"

The three dragons responded immediately, hissing and screaming, and whirling red and black flames.

The mercenaries ran away in fright, Grazdan couldn't dodge in time, and the hem of Toka's robe was set on fire, and the clothes immediately caught fire.

He swore and slapped his arms, but Ser Barristan poured a bucket of water over, extinguishing the flames.

"Woman! Do you understand the rules? You actually hurt the envoy!"

Daenerys stopped the restless dragon and said:

"It's just one piece of clothing you burned. I can buy you a new one. As long as you are willing to send out the slaves in three days, otherwise, next time my dragon will burn more than your clothes."

"You will pay for your arrogance!" Grazdan said angrily, "These little lizards can't keep you! I promise, if they dare to approach Yunkai, they will be shot down by the sky! Slaying dragons is not that difficult! We The Ghisians did it thousands of years ago!"

"Thousands of years ago, the Gith people were wiped out by the dragon of Valyria." Daenerys sneered, "Go away, you only have three days."

After the Yunkai embassy had left, night had fallen.

Daenerys is dining, and Ser Jorah's money reports:

"Your Majesty, the Unsullied have captured a mercenary trying to infiltrate the camp."

"spy?"

"It's a leader of the Stormcrows, Dario Naharis, who came with the Yunkai envoy in the afternoon, and he announced that he has a gift for you."

Thinking of the man in the gorgeous yellow robe, Daenerys nodded and said:

"Bring it in."

Soon, Dario was ushered in, a heavy black canvas package slung over his shoulder.

"Your Majesty the beautiful queen, I brought you a precious gift!" Daario said loudly with a smile as soon as he entered the door, "The Stormcrows are yours now!"

Daenerys was dubious: "I remember that the Stormcrows had three captains, right? The other two captains agreed to surrender?"

"I brought them here, you can ask them yourself." Dario smiled, turned the package upside down, and poured out the contents.

It was really two bloody heads.

Daenerys was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm and said:

"You killed them?"

"certainly."

"Why?"

"Because you are so beautiful!" Daario stared at Daenerys presumptuously, without hiding his desire, "For you, I would do anything! If you are willing to marry me, then I will give the entire Slave Bay Send it to your face!"

"Little mercenary, speak wild words!" Jorah said disdainfully.

Daenerys said: "I will conquer Slaver's Bay by myself. If you want to prove your loyalty, set fire to the Yunkai'i camp tonight and cooperate with our night attack."

"no problem!"

"Okay, now, swear allegiance to me."

Daario flung himself in front of Daenerys exaggeratedly, touching her toes with his forehead:

"My sword is yours, my life is yours, my blood, my body, and my songs are all yours. Whether I live or die, I will obey your orders, beautiful queen!"

Daenerys looked at the back of Daario's head, listening to his pompous words, but Caesar's face came to mind.

If only Caesar could obey me like this... She thought silently.

"I accept your allegiance," Daenerys said. "Tonight, fight for me."

"You'll see." Dario stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

Jorah immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is not a good idea. Since Daario can betray his companions, he can also betray us."

"Mercenaries cannot be trusted," Ser Barristan said coldly.

"This is an extraordinary time, we cannot demand absolute loyalty." Daenerys said, "As soon as the Yunkai'i's camp is on fire, you will lead the Unsullied to attack."

Jorah wanted to say something more, but Daenerys didn't want to hear any more and waved them off.
