Start with the Lord of the Rings

it's clear.

Several white clouds hang high in the sky.

Astapor in early spring.

There was still a hint of coldness in the air.

A salty sea breeze blows the ancient city.

day to day.

city ​​center.

Pride Square.

This was specially built for the slave trade, and the noisy square where all the slave owners in the whole city usually used to show their strength and slave trade was extremely quiet at this time.

Except for the howling wind blowing from the distant sea.

There was not a trace of superfluous noise to be heard in the whole square.

stern, solemn, repressed

Various auras not only enveloped the sky above the square, but also enveloped the minds of countless people throughout the city.

on the square.

A large number of armies of the Unsullied, fully armed with black armor, formed a phalanx, lined up neatly.

Densely packed.

Several tall flags stood up.

On the top of the flag, with bright red as the background color, a beautifully shaped black long sword stands in the center.

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

Morgan, who was 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 Yunkai.

The whole Astapor was busy.

Missandei, the chief clerk, was tasked with designing the flag badge for the master, and the three flag templates designed by the city hall were not satisfactory to him.

Morgan decided to do it himself.

"Yunkai" and "Meereen", which are sister cities to Astapor, don't even have a proper army, and naturally they don't have any formal family crest.

Astapor does have an army of the Unsullied, as well as the badge of the Unsullied: a red fruit eagle with the body of a woman, the wings of a bat, the legs of an eagle and the tail of a scorpion, a pair of claws still clutching the shackles body image.

Morgan was dissatisfied with such a badge imprint, and would definitely not adopt it, nor would the army of the Unsullied that already belonged to him continue to use such a badge imprint.

After a lot of research and deliberation.

He set his own badge imprint.

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

As for the beautifully shaped upside-down long sword, it is his current saber: "Grammed Rin".

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

Siglia is his greatest gain in this world.

And "Glamdrin" represents himself.

The black dragon clings around the long sword.

It means that he will conquer the world with little Siglia.

This is where the badge 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 badge of the Black Dragon Sword.

When such a badge first appeared in front of "The Thousand Commander" Barristan.

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

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, which were available in red, yellow, green, blue, white, and black. They used almost all the colors of the rainbow.

He didn't want to fix too complicated colors.

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

The cold wind blows the tall and handsome flag.

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

at this time.

"Roar"

A deafening roar suddenly resounded through Astapor.

Soon, a huge shadow appeared over Pride Square.

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

When the giant beast with a wingspan of more than ten meters in icy steel armor landed next to the high platform in the square.

In the entire square, everyone and all the warriors felt the enormous pressure brought by the giant dragon Siglia.

The first thing that hits 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 big, terrifying-looking head in front of him.

Although Morgan sighed in his heart that Siglia would never return to the cuteness and ugliness of her childhood, there was a rare smile on her face, a pampering smile.

It was his first laugh since today.

Morgan reached out and slapped the hideous head in front of him several times.

Siglia moved her head away in contentment.

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

But in the eyes of the vast majority of the soldiers in front of them, it was obviously the first time.

They all knew that the giant dragons that could be seen in the sky from time to time were raised by the Governor.

But seeing the terrifying behemoth's close dependence on the Governor's performance at such a close distance still shocked the soldiers of the army in the square.

This also strengthened the confidence of all the soldiers.

His eyes returned to the large army in front of him.

Looking at the Unsullied warriors in black armor, one by one in a square formation.

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

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

The thousands of commanders standing in the front 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 dark army began to move out of the square.

An army expedition is never a trivial matter.

What's more, it is still an army of 10,000, an entire army of troops.

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, water, and luggage.

Watching a phalanx of troops walk out of the square.

Morgan thought to himself.

He had a total of 13,000 regular army troops at this time.

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

In addition to these regular armies.

There are also many mercenaries working for Morgan.

A total of 10,000 troops were dispatched in this crusade against Yunkai.

Among them, the 4,000 Unsullied recruits and the 1,000 recruits led by Barristan were all dispatched, and the remaining 5,000 were Unsullied elites.

This attack on Yunkai, and Meereen next.

That is to loot wealth, but also to train soldiers.

Just go through a war.

Only a rookie can transform quickly.

Wait until Meereen is taken.

Morgan estimated that as long as the 5,000 recruits survived, the training was basically completed.

Wait until then.

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

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

on the square.

The troops moved outwards in an orderly manner.

Beside the high platform.

The clerk Missandei, the general manager Aphra, and several other senior city hall officials were standing together.

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

At this time.

Aphra suddenly stepped towards the high platform.

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

His Excellency the Governor doesn't usually show up much.

It is very majestic in the hearts of most people.

The heads of all the disobedient and rebellious slave masters that he killed were no joke.

However, everyone knew that Aphra was the head of the Governor's Palace, or the first woman to follow the Governor to Astapor.

Even in whispers, no one was stupid enough to tell her a joke.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Aphra coming, Morgan's icy face eased a lot.

"Master, I."

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

Aphra's face was a little struggling, but she still said what she was thinking.

Ever since she knew that her master would bring Missandei in this war, and she could only stay in Astapor, she had been depressed in her heart.

Although the relationship with Missandei is very good.

But she is still a woman, and the consciousness of competing for favor is innate, not to mention she came first.

Morgan immediately knew what Aphra was thinking, and then smiled: "This is also very important."

"Watch our home."

"good"

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

When Aphra stepped off the high platform, she felt like she was eating honey.

Sweet.

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

As in the long journey from the Free City of Pentos to Astapor.

It was the happiest time she had ever been.

on the high platform.

Watching the army in the square become less and less.

Morgan looked at the giant dragon beside him.

I noticed my father's gaze.

Siglia immediately approached the high platform.

Morgan made a slight leap to the edge of the platform, and onto Siglia's broad spine-covered spine.

Everything in Astapor has been discussed.

it's time.

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

"Roar"

Siglia immediately screamed with excitement, took a few steps up and jumped up suddenly, spreading her wings and flying towards the vast sky.
