Daenerys had been undergoing professional knight training for three years, and with the recent surge in her internal magic over the past six months, her strength was now considerable. With a crisp slap, a clear red handprint immediately appeared on the bronze-colored cheek of the Dothraki warrior.
(Private setting: Dothraki slaps are chosen by 'My Blood of My Blood')
When Daenerys spoke the knight's oath just now, she also used a hint of the power of chanting Ancient Valyria spells, which was quite captivating.
Daenerys looked directly at the Dothraki warrior with a resolute gaze, while Dreamfire, beside her, brought her massive head closer, her majestic black-blue vertical pupils slightly contracted.
Even though Mongo was always daring, his heart couldn't help but pound a few times. So he immediately took the Valyrian steel Dothraki scimitar that Daenerys handed to him, and respectfully swore,
"My Blood of My Blood, Mongo is willing to follow the Khal who rides a fiery steed! Even if the sun rises in the west and sets in the east; even if the seas dry up and mountains blow away like dead leaves; even if the stars weep blood and poisonous waters flood the earth, my loyalty to you will not change."
After speaking, Mongo directly cut his palm with the scimitar and used his thumb to dab blood, imprinting his blood onto Daenerys's palm. This signified Daenerys's acceptance of Mongo's allegiance.
Now, with over three hundred Unsullied guarding the Starry Sept, Dax, Iger, and Rogge led over a thousand slave soldiers to sweep through Oldtown, clearing out the bandits and continuously transporting the bodies of the victims to the Starry Sept.
Because before leaving, Daenerys had instructed Dax and the others:
"Pass on my order: to restore order in Oldtown as quickly as possible and protect everyone's safety, confiscate all armor and steel weapons in Oldtown!"
"The weather is still quite hot this season, so collect all the victims' bodies and cremate them centrally, otherwise it's easy to cause a plague."
"Yes!"
Dax, Iger, and the others had long awaited this moment; they could finally "cleanse" Oldtown openly.
With Dax and his regular troops taking action, the bandits were completely vulnerable, being swept away like autumn leaves.
The wealth they had painstakingly plundered throughout the night was all confiscated by Dax and his men and transported back to the Starry Sept.
The residents of Oldtown had long been terrified by the unrest, all cowering in their homes, not daring to go out. Therefore, they were completely unaware of the specific situation of the commotion outside.
But as Dax and his men cleared out the bandits, they kept shouting loudly,
"We are here by the order of Princess Daenerys to suppress this riot. Everyone, do not go out today; Oldtown will return to normal life tomorrow morning!"
"We are here by the order of Princess Daenerys..."
Daenerys didn't want to be someone who did good deeds without leaving a name. Those ignorant people were most easily swayed, and if she didn't take the initiative, who knew how the Hightower Family would slander her later.
After all, the Hightower Family was very professional at waging public opinion battles. Unfortunately, their opponent this time was Daenerys, and it was destined that the double-edged sword of this public opinion battle would cut them themselves.
After an afternoon of sweeping, Oldtown finally returned to peace. Dax and his men captured over five hundred bandits in total, and the armor and weapons confiscated from house to house were countless.
Of course, the wealth Dax and his men plundered was also quite astonishing; almost half of the Starry Sept's hall was filled. Silks, jewels, antiques, gold and silver artifacts, gold coins, exquisite luxurious armor, and swords, etc.
Most of these armors and swords were inlaid with gold and silver, adorned with various gems. They were usually displayed in the halls of wealthy families to show their status and honor.
After this night of rioting, there were quite a few casualties in Oldtown. By the time the sun set, five or six thousand bodies of victims had already piled up in the Starry Sept square.
These bodies of victims and some ordinary armor and weapons confiscated by Dax and his men were all piled together.
Because Mongo and the Unsullied guarded the Starry Sept in the afternoon, no force dared to covet it. Daenerys rode Dreamfire back to Weirwood Square, directly transporting the sea dragon skeleton to the Starry Sept. She placed it with the victims' bodies, then chanted a spell, making Dreamfire spew scorching Dragonflame.
The blue-black scorching Dragonflame instantly ignited the bodies, and the steel equipment mixed with them slowly melted away.
With the blessing of Daenerys's blood sacrifice spell, Dreamfire's Dragonflame power also increased significantly. Under the continuous forging of Dragonflame, all the victims' bodies finally turned into ashes.
And the steel equipment mixed with them melted into a puddle of smoky black molten iron. At the same time, a large part of the sea dragon skeleton also melted by the Dragonflame, mixing with the molten iron. The scorching high temperature melted all the blue brick ground of the Starry Sept.
By the time Dax and his men had thoroughly cleansed Oldtown, it was already late at night. After their cleansing, Oldtown, which had been noisy for a day and a night, finally returned to its former tranquility.
Except for the towering flames still at the Starry Sept, the entire Oldtown was shrouded in silent darkness. Because whether they were survivors from the poor district or the rich district, they all chose to hide themselves in the darkness, so there was almost no light in the entire Oldtown.
This also created an excellent opportunity for Daenerys and her team to transfer the valuables from the Starry Sept.
Rogge ordered people to paddle many small and medium-sized boats from the dock along the Honeywine River to in front of the Starry Sept. Then, using these boats, they transported the wealth plundered from Oldtown and the treasures from the Starry Sept's vault overnight to the three-masted ship they had taken control of.
Although Dax and his men had fought for a day and a night and were very tired, looking at the boxes of treasures, they felt as if they had endless strength.
At the same time, Daenerys also led people to collect the iron blocks from Weirwood Square and load them onto the ships. So, on this night, most of Oldtown's wealth was packed onto ships by Daenerys.
With the situation in Oldtown settled, Daenerys rode Dreamfire to the Holy Flame fleet. Lisandro and the others became somewhat excited upon seeing the Dragon Princess finally appear.
Daenerys and Dreamfire landed on the deck of a three-masted ship flying a flaming sword flag. Dreamfire's heavy body caused the large ship to shake violently.
Lisandro, who had been waiting on the deck, bowed to Daenerys without changing his expression and greeted her,
"Lisandro of the Lojar Family of Lys, greets the esteemed Princess Daenerys!"
"May your smile be as warm as the sunshine, shining brightly in every moment!"
"Hello, Master Lojar!"
"The crisis in Oldtown has been resolved, and you can leave safely!"
Upon hearing this, Lisandro's heart couldn't help but pound a few times, but he quickly regained his composure and then sincerely said to Daenerys,
"Thank you for your protection, Princess Daenerys!"
"We are willing to offer all the goods we brought this time to Princess Daenerys, firstly to express our sincere gratitude to Princess Daenerys, and secondly, after this turmoil, Oldtown will definitely need some economic assistance, which can be considered our contribution to Oldtown."
Daenerys had some appreciation for the handsome young man in front of her,
"As you wish, Master Lojar!"
"Next, the Holy Flame fleet will escort some large ships away, so you can all proceed together!"
