evening.
The orange sunset dyes the sky red.
"Bang bang bang..."
Footsteps rumbled.
A noisy and noisy street in Astapor.
A troop of Unsullied troops dressed in black armor suddenly walked quickly from the street behind.
next moment.
Everyone on the street immediately screamed and hurried away.
The Unsullied troops soon flew away in a cloud of dust.
Everyone on both sides of the street immediately started talking.
"What's going on? Did something happen?"
"These Unsullied ones are walking so fast. You don't have to think about it. They must be dealing with another slave owner. Wasn't that what happened half a year ago?"
"The movement half a year ago was bigger than this time. It was so scary at that time..."
"Don't worry so much. It's a good thing to deal with those noble slave owners..."
"That's right, since our new governor took office, tax revenue has decreased and the security environment has improved a lot..."
"The most important thing is that those nobles who often ride horses and drive cars on the streets are gone. Now look, who dares to ride horses on the streets and hurt people? Those Unsullied ones don't care who you are..."
"Hey, the Governor should kill all those slave owners..."
"No, I have saved enough money and am just waiting for the next batch of female slaves to be sent from Yunkai..."
"Those female slaves who have been trained, tsk tsk, taste it once, you will never forget it in your life..."
"..."
Passing through street after street.
It didn't take long.
The black and stern Unsullied troops arrived in front of an expensive residential area.
Most of the residents in this residential area lined with small castles are the residences of wealthy merchants and small noble slave owners in Astapor.
The Unsullied troops quickly rushed into the residential area and surrounded a small castle that looked nothing special.
"Khaleesi..."
"Khaleesi is not okay..."
A Dothraki warrior rushed into the castle with an anxious look and shouted.
"What happened?"
Jorah Mormont walked out quickly and asked in a deep voice.
"Outside..."
The Dothraki warrior on guard said quickly: "Many of the black-armored warriors we saw at the dock came outside, and they surrounded us."
"what happened?"
At this time, Daenerys Targaryen walked out of the room with a tired look and asked with a frown.
"Khaleesi, call everyone!"
"I'll go take a look first!"
Jorah Mormont immediately turned around and shouted, then strode towards the castle gate.
"What's going on? Tell me carefully."
Daenerys immediately looked at the running Dothraki warriors and asked in a deep voice.
He strode out of the castle.
Jorah Mormont looked at the dark army of Unsullied troops ahead, which numbered at least two hundred, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
"Did the Governor change his mind and want to deal with him and his party?"
"No, if that happens, the opponent will attack directly instead of surrounding the outside..."
Jorah Mormont's mind was racing with thoughts.
At this time, I saw an Unsullied leader standing at the front of the Unsullied army, wearing a three-pointed helmet and stepping forward.
"The Governor has an order to leave Astapor before sunset!"
"Otherwise, stay forever!"
Captain "Poisonous Spider" looked at the man in front of him and said coldly, then turned and left.
Only then did Jorah Mormont come back to his senses and quickly shouted: "Wait..."
The poisonous spider paid no attention to the man's shout from behind. Before returning to the army, he just glanced at the setting sun in the west, his face was cold and he didn't say a word.
Jorah Mormont immediately glanced subconsciously at the setting sun in the western sky.
Seeing the sunset begin to disappear into the clouds, he immediately turned around and ran towards the castle.
"What happened?"
Daenerys Targaryen asked when she saw Jorah Mormont opening his mouth.
"Khaleesi, we have to go, now!"
"what happened?"
"There are a lot of Unsullied outside. They require us to leave Astapor before sunset, otherwise they will attack us!"
Jorah Mormont finished speaking in one breath.
At this time, all the Dothraki who had been gathered in the castle hall looked at Daenerys.
"Damn bastard!"
Daenerys looked extremely angry, but helpless.
She immediately looked at Jorah Mormont: "How much food and water do we have?"
"We just bought some in a hurry yesterday, which is enough for us to eat for about half a month at most."
Jorah Mormont immediately spoke and continued: "But this is Slaver's Bay. There are many places we can go to resupply."
"The boat hasn't been sold yet, has it?"
"No, time is too short. I haven't had time to find a buyer yet."
Feeling relieved after hearing the sound, Daenerys gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go!"
"Bring everything with you!"
"..."
"Quickly..."
"Bring everything with you and we'll leave here right away..."
"..."
Half an hour later.
Astapor port pier.
A large masted ship slowly left the dock.
Daenerys Targaryen stood in front of the bow of the ship, looking at the expressionless and dark Unsullied warriors on the dock, feeling angry and humiliated in her heart.
Yesterday, after a journey of more than two months, we finally arrived in Astapó.
Originally thought this would be the starting point for her counterattack on Westeros.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, he was expelled from Astapor in embarrassment.
So humiliating.
How could this relieve her.
"And that damn Governor Morgan, wait..."
"When Drogon and the others grow up, I will make you pay..."
Daenerys Targaryen looked at the dock not far ahead, feeling secretly resentful.
"Khalisi, you haven't eaten anything all day, it's time to eat something..."
Jorah Mormont walked up to Daenerys and spoke softly.
Ignoring Jorah beside her, Daenerys turned and walked towards the cabin.
Jorah Mormont sighed softly.
He was actually very concerned about why Khaleesi and the governor suddenly fell out and had a quarrel while chatting at the Governor's Mansion this morning.
From what the other party said, it seemed that Khaleesi was the cause.
But Khaleesi didn't tell him what he asked afterward.
This made him helpless, who really wanted to give advice to Khaleesi.
"call..."
Take a long breath.
Jorah Mormont looked up to the western sky.
The beautiful orange sunset was now disappearing into the clouds on the horizon.
The whole world immediately became dark.
Suddenly, a gust of cold sea breeze blew.
Jorah Mormont trembled all over, tightened his clothes, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
...
Astapor.
The brightly lit Governor's Palace.
dinner time.
In the banquet restaurant.
As Morgan's figure appeared.
In front of the long table, Aphra and Missandei, who were waiting, immediately stood up.
"Let's serve food..."
Morgan waved aside.
Soon, the prepared delicacies were quickly served on the long table.
Morgan sat down in front of the main seat.
Aphra and Missandei then sat down.
The young and beautiful maid on the side started pouring wine for the master with a wine bottle in her arms.
Morgan was fiddling with the tableware and was about to speak.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.
Morgan looked up and saw the Unsullied Captain "Poisonous Spider" wearing black armor and holding a triangular helmet in one hand appearing at the door of the banquet restaurant.
"Master, those Dothraki have left the port by boat."
The Centurion Poisonous Spider stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"knew..."
"You haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat together."
Morgan nodded and motioned to the poisonous spider to sit down and eat.
What Morgan didn't know was that.
In the circle of more than a dozen Unsullied captains, most of them were unwilling to dine in the master's castle because it was too serious and boring.
Morgan had already shown his strength among the captains.
This made all the captains respect and fear Morgan from the inside out.
"Master, I..."
After hearing the master's instructions, the poisonous spider looked bitter.
He was lucky enough to be stayed by his master to have a meal with him before, but he really didn't want to have a second time.
"Oh, it seems you're not used to it either..."
Of course, Morgan had heard the rumors about dining among the captains, and didn't care: "Forget it, you go ahead."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing the host's kindness, the poisonous spider immediately became relieved. After saying this, he immediately turned around and strode out of the banquet restaurant.
Morgan picked up the aromatic aperitif and drank it in one gulp.
Then start dealing with the food on the plate.
Grand Clerk Missandei took out the tax list from the bench and began to introduce it to Morgan.
It's nearing the end of the month.
It’s time again to deal with government affairs once a month.
Even though many officials in the city hall are busy, Missandei is still there.
Morgan can't avoid a busy few days at the end of the month.
Because the most important thing requires Morgan's review and signature.
Managing a city is not that easy.
But so far.
Morgan is doing very well, and the trend is getting better and better.
The reaction of city residents and the increasing number of merchants traveling to Astapor are all true.
Just when Missandei reported all the tax returns for the month, and the final balance of returns.
The busy tableware in Morgan's hands immediately stopped.
"Why is there only so much left?"
Morgan frowned and then asked: "What is the biggest expense?"
"Reporting to the master, it is military expenses."
"The army trained by Ser Barristan is the largest expense, followed by the consumption of the Unsullied army."
"This has been the case for the past few months..."
Missandei said immediately.
"Our merchant traffic has increased significantly in the past two months, and you also said that our taxes are higher than before..."
Morgan looked up at Missandei: "Why is it so different?"
"Master, our taxes are indeed higher than before..."
"However, our gains in other areas are much worse..."
"We stopped the Unsullied, and the slave trade, which was the largest source of revenue for the previous city hall, higher than taxes..."
"so..."
Missandei answered.
Morgan was silent.
Before he received Astapor.
The largest slave owners in this city are naturally the few big slave owners in Krazny who control the city.
Proceeds from the slave trade were also the largest source of income for the city hall.
The city of slaves is not just talk.
After he captured Astapor.
The largest slave trading market controlled by the city hall was naturally gone.
Then other surviving slave owners naturally took advantage of the market and the business was better, which was also one of the reasons for the increase in taxes.
The city hall does not have the maximum income. It would be no problem to maintain the governor's palace by relying on taxes alone, but it will be a bit difficult after adding the army formed by Barristan.
Of course, Morgan himself is still extremely wealthy.
At first, a large number of slave owners' castles were confiscated, but the treasure trove under the Governor's Mansion could hardly contain them.
But the city's tax revenue is not the same as his private wealth.
It is healthy to have a balanced income and expenditure.
Now it seems.
It's obviously a little bit worse.
But Morgan didn't want to stay in Astapor forever.
Wait until Siglia grows up.
He was preparing to take action against the two slave cities of Yunkai and Meereen.
Astapor is best known as the Unsullied.
Yunkai is most famous for its brothels and well-trained female (nu) slaves.
The two adjacent slave cities are about the same size.
Meereen is the largest of the three cities in Slaver's Bay.
Meereen has as many inhabitants as the cities of Astapor and Yunkai combined.
The city of Meereen was larger, more populous, more slaves, and richer.
Morgan is determined to acquire the wealth of Yunkai and Meereen.
Therefore, the current situation in Astapor is almost the same.
Wait until the time comes.
Morgan sets out to attack Yunkai.
At that time, it will be time for him to liquidate the remaining slave owners in Astapor City.
What he told Daenerys about dealing with slave masters was more than just words.
But he had no interest in starting a slave revolution in Slaver's Bay or anything like that.
As long as the other party is willing to take the initiative to hand over wealth or buy life money.
He didn't mind sparing the slave owners.
Slavery in Slaver's Bay lasted for hundreds or thousands of years.
Slavery could not be outlawed unless he stayed.
But Morgan didn't want to stay in Slaver's Bay, his goal was Westeros.
Therefore, plunder the wealth of the three slave cities, and then prepare a large fleet and army to launch an attack on Westeros on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
This is his greatest purpose.
"Um..."
"Tell me about other things..."
Morgan nodded and continued to deal with the food on the plate.
Missandei continued to report various things.
Wait until Missandei finishes speaking.
Aphra followed and talked about various things in the castle.
Morgan took longer to eat this dinner than before.
The night is getting darker.
Morgan walked out of the restaurant and came to the castle hall and was about to go upstairs.
At this time.
Prima, the head maid, was walking over with a few nervous-looking girls.
"One of the rules here is that you cannot leave your post without permission..."
Prima, the head maid, looked up as she spoke and saw the tall figure standing in front of her.
"Owner..."
Prima, the head maid, immediately bowed respectfully.
The girls who were listening intently to the maid's teachings heard the maid's address and respectful expression, and instantly understood something. Their eyes immediately became extremely nervous when they looked at the tall and handsome man in front of them.
Morgan ignored the head maid, but looked at one of the black-haired girls behind her, her eyes brightening.
He has a tall figure, fair skin, and most importantly, a pair of long, straight legs.
"newcomer?"
Morgan looked at the head maid.
The head maid Prima nodded immediately: "Yes, I just arrived yesterday."
"Um..."
"Then it's her tonight..."
After Morgan finished speaking, he smiled at the girl, then turned and walked upstairs.
