Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord
Chapter 213: Escape without a fight
After listening to Grazdan Moeraz's words, everyone lowered their heads in frustration. Apparently, they also learned about this decree during this time, which was enough to shake the foundation of all wise masters.
At this time, Yazanzoquagez shook his head and said helplessly: "But Yunkai can't stop it, and our current situation is also very bad. There are only three thousand city defense troops in the city now, even if we include the troops from nearby towns Including all the guards and private soldiers of the wise master, there are only 6,000 people. Even without considering his giant dragon, he can easily take over the city with his Unsullied Ones. "
A sage asked hurriedly: "Then can we ask Meereen for support? I heard that Meereen has signed a new contract with the Golden Company, and Yunkai is only two days away from Meereen. The reinforcements can be sent before the enemy arrives. Rush to Yunkai."
Yazanzoquagz shook his head and said: "I've heard about this too, but the Golden Company is still in Myr. Even if it takes a boat to get here, it will take a month. Meereen will give priority to protecting itself, and I'm afraid they won't send troops easily." Support us."
After hearing this, everyone fell into panic again.
After Grazdan Moeraz thought for a moment, he suggested: "I have an idea. The wise masters who are willing to surrender can stay, and those who are unwilling can go to Meereen. Even if they don't send troops to support, Meereen will accept us. Take refuge. But we have to take away all the gold from Yunkai. If we want to take back Yunkai in the future, we must have enough money to hire an army."
His proposal was unanimously agreed by the wise masters.
At this time, someone else suggested: "We should take away all the soldiers. After Gavin takes Yunkai, he will definitely attack Meereen. We cannot give these soldiers to the enemy."
Yazanzo Quagez looked at Grazdan Moeraz and asked, "How do you plan to retake Yunkai in the future?"
Grazdan Moeraz replied: "You can borrow troops from Volantis. I will go to Volantis myself. I only need to persuade the three consuls. Moreover, Yunkai is protecting Volantis from disaster. Once The three cities of Slaver's Bay are occupied by Gavin, and Volantis is next. The governors of Volantis must take action, otherwise they will die. "
A sage suddenly suggested: "This is a good idea. If it doesn't work, we can borrow troops from the Dothraki. The Horse King we were on guard against will soon pass by here. It is rumored that he has 40,000 roaring warriors under his command. The Dothraki It's easy to deal with. Send more supplies and gold, and keep your posture low, and those barbarians will stand up for you. "
After hearing this, many wise masters cursed the trade, and some even stood up excitedly and said: "This will do too much damage to Yunkai. The Dothraki will take away all the slaves. We can't be so short-sighted just because of the temporary predicament." decision.”
Hearing this, Yazanzoquagz stood up and roared angrily: "The city is gone, what's the use of keeping those slaves and industry? Is it easier for Gavin? The Dothraki at least don't want the city."
Seeing the angry Yazanzoquagzi, the wise masters couldn't help but shut their mouths, and the entire hall became quiet.
Grazdan Moeraz looked around at the crowd, broke the silence and said coldly: "Let's go to Meereen first. What we need most now is time. We have enough wealth to solve the problem. Let's go to Volantis first. If they don't If they are willing to send troops, we will consider the Dothraki. Even if they are not willing to send troops, you don't have to worry too much. It may be difficult to kill a dragon, but it is much easier to defeat it. Just kill the dragon controller. "
After hearing the words of Grazdan Mo Erazhuan, the eyes of the wise masters couldn't help but light up. Yes, as long as they are willing to spend money, countless assassins are willing to give it a try. No matter how powerful the dragon is, the master is still a mortal body, and a glass of poisonous wine can do it. To kill him, the wise masters couldn't help but look at each other. Seeing that no one had any objections, they readily agreed to the plan.
Gavin's camp was stationed in a plain a day's journey from Yunkai.
This plain is vast and the view is extremely broad.
On the flat ground, a few sparse weeds swayed gently with the breeze, revealing the desolation of the place.
In the open space next to the camp, Chiying lay lazily on the ground. It had just eaten five sheep. Every time it was full, it would habitually find an open space to bask in the sun.
Wen leaned against Chiying, his eyes fixed on the Drogon egg in his hand, his eyes revealing concentration and expectation. He frowned slightly, and the magic power was slowly transported into the dragon egg. He could feel the magic power pouring into the dragon egg like a trickle. Ever since Gavin took the dragon egg with him, as time went by, the dragon egg absorbed magic power gradually faster, which ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
However, the result was the same as before, the dragon egg still showed no sign of hatching. Gavin sighed softly, thinking to himself that he didn't know how long it would take for the dragon egg to break out of its shell. Various possibilities could not help but pop up in his mind. Does he need more magic power? Or does it require some special conditions? He recalled what he had learned about dragon egg hatching, but found that there was no definite answer.
At this moment, Gavin saw Jalal trotting towards his location in the distance. His steps were a little hasty, as if he was in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, something happened in Yunkai." He said after saluting respectfully, with a hint of worry on his face and a hint of anxiety in his voice.
There was a questioning look in Gavin's eyes. He put down the dragon egg in his hand and carefully put it aside. Then he straightened his clothes and sat up straight.
"Don't panic Jalal, have the wise masters ordered Yunkai?" Gavin's voice had a hint of ridicule and calmness.
"It's almost the same, Your Majesty. Two nights ago, the wise masters of Yunkai fled with their armies. They moved very quickly and disappeared without a trace almost overnight, and they took away All the belongings they could bring. Most importantly, they burned all the food left in Yunkai. Until now, black smoke is still floating over the city. There are only tens of thousands of hungry slaves left in the city." There was concern in his voice.
Gavin nodded slightly after hearing this, his expression remained calm and composed, as if he was not surprised by the news.
"Ask the officials accompanying the team to rush to Yunkai with the logistics immediately. Kairos leads two thousand cavalry to escort them. Tomorrow morning, the Second Legion will separate 3,000 people to take over Yunkai's city defense and notify Kyle that we will divert to Meereen. "He ordered methodically.
Hearing this, Jalal couldn't help but widen his eyes, with an incredible look on his face, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you... you don't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter. Astapor is not a food-producing area, nor is it a slave. The land in the Bay is very barren. The only arable land is along the Worm River, and the amount is not large. We have always relied on imported food. Now there are tens of thousands of hungry slaves waiting for us. I’m afraid I didn’t bring enough food.”
He hurriedly emphasized, "Your Majesty, those wise masters have run away. Aren't you going to chase them? They shouldn't have gone far. You can stop them by riding a dragon. One more thing. I suggest that we don't enter Yunkai for the time being. The current Yunkai is like a violent horse that can hurt people if touched. Hungry will make those slaves lose their minds, and they may attack the army!"
Gavin waved his hand after hearing this, and said with an indifferent smile: "It doesn't matter, Jalal, what I want is Yunkai City and the slaves in the city, not the wise masters. They should have gone to Meereen, and they are all concentrated in Meereen. It's better to go together, so I don't have to hunt around. As for the slaves in Yunkai, the food we brought is enough to transport food to Astapor, and the news of high-priced food has been released. The merchant will come to deliver it. We will not be short of money after taking Astapor, so this is not a big problem. Okay, Jalal, thank you for your advice. Let’s carry out the order.”
After Jalal heard this, although he was still confused, looking at the confident Gavin, he knew that he could not change Gavin's decision and could only take the order to carry out Gavin's order.
Gavin continued to sit down, leaning against Chiying to adjust to a comfortable position, and once again focused on the dragon egg in his hand, continuing to deliver magic power to the egg.
Gavin is not in a hurry to capture Meereen. He learned the news two days ago that Meereen used some unknown method to convince Mir and successfully made Mir terminate his employment contract with the Golden Company and become the new employer of the Golden Company. , the Golden Company is currently heading to Meereen.
The sea was controlled by Hassan, and they could only come to Slaver's Bay by land, which made their march take at least two months.
Gavin thought to himself that this was an excellent opportunity, and he would take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate the Golden Group.
After all, this armed force has been eyeing Westeros, and it is better to deal with the uncontrolled force in advance.
Under Jalal's arrangement, the officials accompanying the team quickly organized logistics supplies, and Kairos also led the assembly of two thousand cavalry.
They marched toward Yunkai City in a mighty manner, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps echoing on the empty road.
At dawn, before the first ray of sunlight fully illuminated the land, Kairos successfully arrived at Yunkai with two thousand cavalry like a rushing wind.
At this time, Yunkai City was like a dead city shrouded by the god of death, filled with deathly silence.
The city was filled with the pungent smell of burnt grain, which permeated every corner, as if telling of the disaster the city had just experienced.
Tens of thousands of hungry slaves, like a group of abandoned ants, gathered in every corner of the city.
Their eyes were empty and lifeless, revealing deep despair and confusion, as if the light of life had been extinguished in their eyes.
Some slaves dragged their weak bodies around the city in search of food, even the smallest scraps. Their bodies were extremely weak from hunger, their steps were sluggish, and they walked unsteadily, but their hearts were filled with fear and uneasiness about the future. Every corner was searched by them, but all they got was disappointment.
When Gavin's army entered Yunkai, the slaves in the city heard the noise.
They had been hungry for two days and were on the verge of physical and mental collapse.
These slaves gathered at the city gate one after another, their eyes full of expectation and a hint of fear.
With the departure of the wise master, rumors about Gavin began to spread rapidly in the city.
Some say that the Dragon King will drive the evil dragon to burn Yunkai to the ground, because the Dragon King still wants to conquer Meereen, and they will consume the Dragon King's meager army rations, and they can only wait to die here; others say that the Dragon King has always treated his slaves well. , and now everyone has become the slave of the Dragon King, who will bring food instead of slaughter. These rumors intertwined in the minds of the slaves, leaving them in a dilemma.
But in the end, only a few people chose to leave, and most chose to stay in Yunkai.
Going out of the city means facing unknown dangers. They have no food and no direction. They may starve to death before they go far.
It's better to look forward to the faint hope that maybe the Dragon King will really bring food and new life.
Kailos rode at the front of the team. He saw a large number of slaves gathered at the city gate and knew that he had to do something to appease the people, otherwise there might be trouble.
He pulled the reins, rode forward, and shouted: "I am here by the order of Gavin Belleris I. From now on, Yunkai is ruled by His Majesty Gavin. All those who kneel down and surrender are His Majesty's people and can get food from His Majesty." His voice was loud and powerful, echoing at the silent city gate, as if it brought a glimmer of life to these desperate slaves.
The slaves listened to his words, and the light of hope gradually appeared in their eyes.
Then they saw the carriages following behind. The carriages full of food were like the salvation of life for them.
Groups of slaves knelt down one after another, with gratitude and expectation on their faces, and murmured words of thanks, as if Gavin had become their savior.
The accompanying officials saw this and immediately directed the soldiers to distribute food in an orderly manner.
The soldiers acted quickly, unloaded the prepared food from the carriage and distributed it to the hungry slaves.
The hungry slaves rushed forward, they couldn't wait to receive the food, tears of excitement flashed in their eyes, and kept saying words of gratitude.
Kairos looked at this scene and felt relieved.
He knew that Gavin's decision was correct. These slaves would not attack the army. They just needed food and hope.
As Yunkai gradually stabilized, Gavin led the remaining troops towards Meereen. After only three days of marching, Gavin saw the walls of Meereen.
Meereen is the most populous and largest city among the three cities in Slaver's Bay. It is the only city with a moat among the three cities, and its city defense capability is also the strongest. In order to prevent being besieged, the port of Meereen is connected to the city, and the city wall extends all the way into the sea.
The city wall is tall and thick, made of huge yellow stones tightly stacked together. Every stone seems to tell the history and tenacity of this city.
On the city wall, there are many watchtowers, and countless dragon-hunting crossbows are placed on the towers.
The flag on the top of the tower depicts a harpy, fluttering in the breeze. It is the symbol of Meereen, showing the majesty of this city.
The city gates are closed. They are two huge iron doors with exquisite patterns carved on them, depicting the history and legends of Old Ghis.
A huge pyramid stands in the center of the city. Even through the tall city walls, most of the tower can still be seen.
