Chapter 26 New System

In the desolate stall next door, tens of thousands of pigtailed Dothraki were looting villages one after another.

Khal Drogo rode on his tall red horse and silently inspected the atrocities of his men. This was the tradition of the Dothraki. Fighting and plundering were in the blood of the Dothraki.

Viserys was a little tired of all this. He didn't care how many villages Drogo robbed. He just didn't know how long it would take to reach Slaver's Bay if this continued.

Finally, Viserys couldn't help but stopped Drogo:

"Great Kaa, we have been wasting too long. If this continues, the liar may have to leave Slaver's Bay!"

If Drogo's army had not been needed, Viserys would not have spoken to Drogo like this. In his eyes, these Dothraki were barbarians and uncivilized beasts.

And he is a real dragon, and a real dragon will not succumb to beasts!

But his anger towards Aegon had made him crazy, and his hatred for Aegon had grown deeper over the past few months.

In his dreams, he wanted to kill the other party countless times, the liar who pulled him down from the throne, and the bastard who snatched his sister's first night from his hands.

Drogo couldn't understand Viserys's words, so he had to be translated to Drogo by the Dothraki slave who came with him and was given by a wealthy merchant in Pentos.

But after Drogo finished listening, the other party just looked at Viserys indifferently:

"It only takes ten days for the Dothraki's horses to rush from here to Slaver's Bay, but the horses also need food and grass! I promise to kill the Targaryen in Slaver's Bay, and then marry your sister!"

When Viserys heard this, he just snorted coldly to show his dissatisfaction.

"Kaa, the knights sent out have returned!"

At this moment, the scouts who happened to be sent out to find out the news also brought back the news.

"Great Khal, that Targaryen deceived tens of thousands of Unsullied half a month ago! And established himself as king in Astapor!"

When the scout came back, he breathed heavily and told Drogo the bad news.

"What?"

The other Dothraki senior leaders exclaimed when they heard this.

The Dothraki cavalry is invincible in every battle, and has almost no opponents across the entire Dothraki Sea and the Free Trade Cities.

Except for the Unsullied!

Four hundred years ago, in the battle of Qohor (one of the nine Free Trade Cities), more than 50,000 Dothraki cavalry faced three thousand Unsullied but suffered a disastrous defeat.

The Dothraki rained countless arrows on the Unsullied army and charged 18 times, but they were all resisted by the Unsullied one by one.

More than 12,000 Dothraki cavalry, including the Dothraki leader Temokhal himself, were killed in the battle.

The Dothraki cut off their braids of honor and threw them in front of the surviving Unsullied.

Since then, this legend has been passed down on the grasslands, and the city of Qohor has been defended by the Unsullied ever since.

Now Aegon has nearly 10,000 Unsullied soldiers, but Khal Drogo's cavalry only has 40,000, which is not as many as Khal Temok's 50,000 cavalry in the Battle of Qohor.

How can you defeat the opponent?

"Great Khal, I have to remind you that the Dothraki steppe should be a place where horses gallop. We should not risk our lives to go to Slaver's Bay for a Targaryen woman!"

A Dothraki, as strong as an ox, stood up.

He is Drogo's bandit (similar to Drogo's commander), commanding thousands of Dothraki cavalry.

Over the past few days, Drogo's move to go to Slaver's Bay under the influence of Viserys has already aroused the dissatisfaction of many Dothraki.

But now when he learned that his opponent had tens of thousands of Unsullied, this dissatisfaction burst out directly.

Obviously, Drogo will definitely have to pay a high price if he wants to defeat the opponent now, and he may not even be able to win.

These people felt that it was not worth it to go through such a thankless effort for a Targaryen woman.

Viserys looked at Khal Drogo very uneasily when he heard the news.

If the other side decided to retreat, he didn't know how to deal with Aegon again.

Drogo's stern eyes swept over the voiced Kou:

"I, Khal Drogo, the son of Khal Barb, will never be easily defeated by that little boy!"

In fact, Drogo had asked Viserys and the people of Pentos when he came before, and the information he got at that time was that Aegon's money could only buy a few thousand Unsullied at most.

In this case, he actually still has a chance to defeat the opponent on the battlefield.

And past honors tell him that he can always defeat his opponents.

But he didn't expect that Aegon would directly spawn so many Unsullied ones.

But now he is no longer allowed to retreat. As the most powerful Kaa on the Dothraki grassland, the braid behind him cannot allow him to retreat.

These tens of thousands of Dothraki cavalry are following him because he is the most powerful Khal, so he is not allowed to fail or retreat.

"You are really crazy. That silver-haired Targaryen has confused your mind. You are not worthy of being my Khal!"

Kou, who had just started the trouble, stood up and jumped towards Drogo, the Dothraki scimitar in his hand kept dancing.

The Dothraki admired force, and this was his challenge to his Khal.

Drogo did not flinch after seeing the opponent's movements, and directly faced him with bare hands.

This Kou was very good with his scimitar, but unfortunately Drogo's body was extremely flexible and he dodged the attacks one by one.

The bell on Drogo's braid kept ringing, as if it was slowly ringing the bell of victory.

Then, Drogo seized the opportunity, grabbed the opponent's scimitar with his backhand, and slashed hard towards the opponent's neck.

Blood spurted out instantly, and Drogo grabbed the opponent's throat with his right hand and tore open the windpipe.

Then Drogo opened his arms and shouted loudly at the Dothraki next to him, showing off his strength.

"I, Khal Drogo, want to do something that no previous Khal has done. I want to lead my Khals to defeat those Unsullied. I want to rape their women and capture their children as slaves!"

Drogo's wild roar resounded through the sky, and no one dared to disobey him after that.

After that night, Drogo's messenger also rushed to Vaes Dothraki (similar to Dothraki Jerusalem).

…

Astapor.

Aegon was sitting at the table enjoying breakfast.

It's topped with cherries, figs, and low-alcohol wine.

"Your Majesty, this is Astaport's unique delicacy - dog brain jelly!"

Aegon's cook in Astapor brought a plate of mushy stuff to the king.

Aegon quickly waved his hand and asked the other party to be taken away. Looking at the other party's smiling face, he wished he could punch him.

"Your Majesty, you should go deal with the disputes among your subordinates."

Just as Aegon was enjoying his breakfast, the words of the maid Rislin directly made his mood worsen.

Aegon could only reluctantly get up and go to the Judgment Hall and sit down.

Astapor was originally jointly governed by several slave owners, so if there were disputes among the subordinates, these nobles would arbitrate.

Now that Aegon is their king, this responsibility naturally falls on his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, the ditch between our two families is shared, but he discharged sewage into it without authorization. Now it is full of stolen goods. You have to make the decision..."

"Your Majesty, the contract we signed was originally to cooperate together, but now he suddenly breached the contract and refused to pay liquidated damages..."

"His Majesty……"

"Ser Jon, have you found the person I asked you to find?"

After finishing a lot of things in the morning, Aegon almost went crazy.

If he doesn't outsource these tasks, he will be bored to death in less than two years as king.

"We've found him! Your Majesty, I'll send someone to bring him in right away."

With that said, Jon Clinton asked the guards to bring in two scholars. One of them was wearing a yellow gauze robe and had a little gray hair on his temples, while the other looked younger.

"His Majesty!"

When the two scholars saw Aegon, Aegon immediately knelt down to show his piety.

"What are your names?"

"Tokaniz (Amozny), Your Majesty!"

"Very well, Amozni, I now officially appoint you as the steward of Astapor, responsible for mediating disputes among these free people.

Tokaniz, I now appoint you as the chief judge of Astapor. If there are accusations of vicious incidents such as fighting, murder, and rape, or financial disputes that cannot be resolved by the clerk, they will be handed over to the chief judge for resolution.

.

In the future, every time there is such an accusation, 12 jury members will be randomly selected to decide whether they are guilty or not, and the chief judge will announce the sentence!"

Aegon directly established the prototype of the mediation committee and the court, and handed over all these matters to two local scholars with some reputation.

As for how to improve it later and how to formulate a specific institutional constitution, it cannot be solved overnight.

Now I have to act urgently, and I can't be trapped in Astapor for the rest of my life.

"I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty!"
