Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Old Thief with a Gray Beard
When the monster turned around, Korakxiu suddenly jumped forward and bit the monster's tail.
Korakshuu tried to stop the monster from returning to the water, but the monster's strength far exceeded Korakshuu's.
The monster swung its tail violently and Korakshu was blown away.
The moment it flew out, Korakshu made an instant judgment, and the hot dragon flame spewed out, and the monster's back was burning in an instant.
Then the monster let out a shrill scream and dived into the water.
Korakshuu seemed to realize that the monster was afraid of fire, and immediately spewed a few more breaths of dragon flames toward the water, followed by a provocative roar.
After a few more minutes, there was no movement on the water surface. Seeing this, Korakxiu left with satisfaction.
No one saw the battle between the monsters, and Korakshuu couldn't speak, so he couldn't tell Newgate and the others what the monsters looked like.
——The
next day, in the main hall of the True Dragon Pyramid.
Dany held her chin to her hand, pursed her lips and looked at the two people who were arguing fiercely below in a silly way.
"Barristan, you old fool, what right do you have to call me a blood sucker?
Words are not enough, old thing, you are old and have only a mouth left. You said I am greedy for money, if you have the guts, take out the account book and let's confront each other face to face!"
Jack looked aggrieved and angry, as if Barristan had really framed an honest official.
Barristan looked at Jack, who had a look of grievance on his face, and his white beard trembled with anger.
"Shameless, Jack Poseidon, you have absolutely no noble honor or responsibility!"
Jack was not only the Prime Minister of Meereen, but was also named Duke of Slaver's Bay by Daenerys, and was also granted large tracts of land around Meereen.
However, most of the land around Meereen is salt land, and there is not much land that can be cultivated normally.
When Jack was made Duke, he was so moved that he almost laughed.
If Jack were in Dany's position, he would definitely make himself an earl and leave room for promotion.
It turns out that Dany is a good person. In order to keep Jack working for her, she directly rewards him with the title of Duke.
Jack's expression remained unchanged when he heard this. "Barristan, how dare you say that I have no honor and responsibility?"
"You were a member of the Kingsguard of the previous Targaryen King. The King was killed by the Kingslayer, but you defected to the Usurper and became his Kingsguard.
The Usurper's son was driven out of the Kingsguard and ended up begging for mercy in Meereen!"
"You old bastard, how dare you, as a slave of three surnames, bark in front of me?
Since you didn't dare to be loyal to the previous king, why do you want to linger on and be a dog with a broken back, caught between two rats?"
Barristan's face flushed red. When it came to swearing, he could never compare to Jack, who was much more knowledgeable.
It was just that Jack didn't have a four-wheeled vehicle to help him now, otherwise he would have scolded him until he vomited blood.
Seeing Barristan's face flushed red, Jack Poseidon was relentless and took advantage of the situation to attack him:
"What do you want me to do? Am I wrong?"
"You, Barristan, are a servant of the king. The late king appointed you as a glorious Kingsguard, giving you wealth and honor!
And you!
But after the death of the previous king, you joined the usurper's army. You are unworthy of being a knight, and worse than a beast!"
Jack became more and more excited as he cursed, and continued to jump up and down and curse: "You two thieves, don't make plans together!
Although I, Jack, am only born a lowly pirate, I also know that loyalty and righteousness should be the most important thing for a minister. My loyalty to Your Majesty is witnessed by the sun and the moon!
Unlike some people, who were born in the noble families of the Seven Kingdoms, but are shameless slaves of three surnames!"
After Jack finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned away without looking at Barristan, as if looking at him any longer would pollute his eyes.
This turn around directly gave Jack a perfect spiritual victory.
But for Barristan, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Asshole, you've gone too far. I'm going to request a trial by combat and let the Seven Gods bear witness to your lies!"
Barristan drew his sword and was about to step forward to duel with Jack.
"That's enough!" Dany stopped Barristan with a gloomy face, "Aren't you two ashamed?"
"The Prime Minister has already said that the money saved will be used to supplement food. Don't mention this matter again."
"Ser Barristan is not a traitor or a traitor. He is the bravest, most honorable, and most powerful knight in the Seven Kingdoms. He joined the Usurper's army because he had no choice."
"Also, I don't want to hear anyone mocking Ser Barristan as a traitor or something like that in the future, or I'll let Grey Worm cut off his tongue!"
The farce ended with Dany's intervention, and Barristan just glared at Jack angrily in the end.
He originally thought that even if there would be no substantial punishment for Jack after accusing him of corruption, Danny would at least give him a verbal warning.
In the end, not only did Jack not receive any punishment or blame, but he ended up getting into trouble.
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen was sensible. She not only believed him and explained for him, but also forbade others to laugh at him.
In fact, Barristan is indeed one of the best knights in the Seven Kingdoms, just as Dany said.
If he had not taken the initiative to accuse Jack of corruption in the court, Jack would still admire him very much.
Even if he has served four kings, including Daenerys, Jack would not call him a traitor.
Danny glanced around and immediately met Jack's innocent eyes.
Dany glared at Jack fiercely. "Barristan is so old. If you make him angry, who will train knights to lead troops into battle for me?"
In fact, Jack can also help Dany train qualified soldiers and generals. Jack knows how to train discipline and remembers how to use the Thirty-Six Strategies.
Although it's all just theory, as long as the soldiers are trained and fight a few more battles, they will definitely become familiar with the application of the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
However, Jack will not teach Daenerys these things. The background of the World of Ice and Fire is similar to the Middle Ages in Western Europe.
The two sides usually rely on phalanxes and cavalry charges in battle. The two sides confront each other on the battlefield, and then they form their battle formations and charge directly at each other.
Victory in war depends entirely on the difference in numbers, equipment, and morale.
When Robb Stark went south, he relied on feints to the east and lured the enemy out of their lair to directly annihilate 8,000 of Jaime Lannister's men, and even captured Jaime alive.
If Robb Stark had not broken off his engagement and killed his closest confidants, he would not necessarily have lost the war even if he had become king.
Even if we cannot make the North and the Riverlands independent, we can at least defend the Moat Cailin and make the North independent.
But unfortunately, even though the fifteen-year-old Young Wolf Lord was a genius in military affairs, he inherited his father's political acumen.
What's more, Robb Stark was only fifteen years old at the time, so it is understandable that he pursued beautiful love.
