Chapter 157
Two yellow cloaks with messy clothing were carrying a stretcher and rushed towards the torches by the city gate.
"Be careful, don't hurt the Great Masters!" Lijad shouted loudly.
As he spoke, he stepped forward to support the slightly swaying stretcher.
Under the firelight, the Commander at the city gate found that the stretcher consisted of two spearmen and a few pieces of leather armor, some very simple attire.
A tall iron-armored general was lying on the stretcher, the blue coat over the chainmail was dark red, and there was an arrow with its tail cut off on the left chest.
Obviously, the general had an arrow in his chest and his life was at stake.
"Rumble…!" At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came out in the distance, and arrows "whiz whiz whiz" flew over from a distance.
The enemy Dothraki are chasing after them!
Fortunately, the distance was a bit far, and the two hundred remaining soldiers were all huddled at the root of the city wall, and there were more than a dozen soldiers holding shields on their outer perimeter.
Waiting for Lijad to cautiously take off the man's helmet, the defending Commander's face changed, shouting loudly: "Quick, quickly open the city gates, that is the infantry Commander Susikiya, go and call the healers!"
Lijad is an obscure presence, few people know of him. But Susikiya is Meereen Legion's infantry Commander, with a high position. He was in charge of Yunkai's defense affairs before, and he could be regarded as the immediate superior of the commander at the defense.
Seeing the Great Master's mouth flowing with blood, his face distorted because of too much pain, and his pale, chapped, lips opened and closed silently, he raised his right hand with difficulty to ask for help, how could the defending Commander hold back?
"Creak…Rumble" As soon as the city gate opened, the Commander quickly ran out, held the right hand raised by the Great Master, and said hurriedly: "Lord Great Master, do not worry, I'll arrange for the best healers for you right away."
In but a few moments, the stretcher entered the city gateway.
The Great Master glanced sideways and saw that most of the remaining soldiers had already poured into the city gate, his eyes bulged, his face twisted horrifically, his throat echoed a deep raspy tone, and blood continued to flow from his lips. Obviously, he was feeling something.
Feeling the right hand of the Great Master grasp like an iron shackle at the crook of the arm, Hyle quietly comforted: "Lord Great Master, you are safe, now you are completely safe."
Then, he raised his head and shouted to a soldier beside him: "Lord Great Master is in too much pain, bring him some poppy medicine."
The Great Master rolled two strings of crystal clear tears from the corners of his eyes, before closing your eyes and no longer struggling.
Seeing the Great Masters calm down, Commander Hyle felt better.
"Squelch—" Suddenly, his warm heart was filled with cold metal Ice, he looked down, and at a loss, he found that a sharp blade had pierced through his chainmail.
"Huh...wha-?"
"Ting…ting...ting" Two hundred "yellow silk cloaks" burst forth, slaughtering the Ghis guards who were owners of the manors half a month ago as easily as slaughtering animals.
"Kill——" A Black iron cavalry rushed in from outside the city, followed by endless infantry.
Yunkai's East City Gate had fallen.
…
"heh…" After listening to the story of the veteran soldier, the Grand Wise Master laughed quietly, before he walked to the gate of the palace, and watched a following of long torches. Like a river meandering along the city wall, he waved his hand behind him and said softly: "Everyone, Wise Masters, let's go, leave Yunkai immediately."
The Wise Masters who are still here, are the Grand Wise Master's immediate aides, they did not leave immediately, but were concerned: "Grand Wise Master, when will you leave? I think that for a short while longer, the dock area will still be under the control of the coalition fleet."
"I am the Grand Wise Master, from the very beginning I decided to die together with Yunkai." Grand Wise Master said with a very quiet and defeated tone.
"We haven't lost yet, General Grazdan's main force was just besieged, not annihilated! Even if Yunkai eventually falls, we still have allies!
Qarth can form an expedition, and Volantis is also frantically gathering sellswords around the world!
Our messengers even got a promise from the Lys Prince that if Volantis officially declares war on the Mother of Dragons, he would also send a fleet to join us!"
"lord Grand Wise Master, the wave of the people of the world against the cruel tyranny of the evil Mother of Dragons has just begun! We need you, the people of Ghis need you, the Grand Alliance needs you, the people of the world need you, a great and sacred cause of the evil Mother of Dragons is inseparable from you!"
Several Wise Masters took turns to persuade, and the Ghis veterans next to him also pleaded chokingly: "Grand Wise Master, if you are to die, who will rebuild Yunkai!"
"No need to say more!" The Grand Wise Master waved his hand and coldly said: "Too many Wise Masters and Great Masters have deserted the city and the Ghis people need something else now. A spirit, a symbol.
I will use my sacrifice to awaken the fearless ambitions of the Sons of the Harpy, who once galloped across the planes of these lands."
"Grand Wise Master, We already have fighting spirit, this defeat is mainly because the opponent has Dragons, the Mother of Dragons was too cunning, it was not born of fear or cowardice towards the enemy. You don't need sacrifice yourself." The veteran couldn't help but argue for the Ghis man.
This is not wrong. The yellow silk cloak's battle skills are equals to the Iron Legion, and had never surrendered without a fight, its will and courage are higher than sellswords and slave Warriors.
In the original plot, Daenerys also formed a slave Legion with tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 Unsullied. As a result, only the combination of the yellow silk cloak and sellswords in the city of Yunkai made her shrink in the city of Meereen, not daring to come out.
"Astapor, Meereen, now Yunkai? All of Slaver's Bay, all three Ghis city-states fell, of the loss of all of what we once held no one voluntarily died, you say, what would that woman think? What will Qarth and Volantis think?"
The Grand Wise Master waved his hands wearily and sighed, "Come, I'll hold on to this Great Pyramid and try to buy you some time."
A hunched old Wise Master bitterly frowned and said, "Grand Wise Master, I'm sixty-three this year, I'll accompany you."
"I have many sons I shall stay too." Another Wise Master sat back in his seat with determination.
"I…"
"Report—" Before the others could express their opinions, another yellow silk cloak rushed into the palace with fear and yelled: "Grand Wise Master, the Great Pyramid is mobbed, the woman…she comes in person!"
"I…I am young and have no sons and can't stay!" a young Wise Master yelled in dismay.
The Grand Wise Master looked around outside the palace, but it was so dark that neither the Dragons nor the soldiers in the square below could be seen.
"Ai, I should have thought that the Great Pyramid would be her first target." He turned around and looked at his companions with a complicated look.
Under normal circumstances, the Great Pyramid is really Dany's first target, but Yunkai is different. After the army enters the city, it first controls the city wall, because there are more than 2,000 Scorpions placed on the city wall.
Afterward, Dany found the arsenal under the guidance of spies in the city.
Three Dragons and shield soldiers formed a "steel-shielded Dragon flamethrower". After burning hundreds of yellow silk cloaks that were sticking to the arsenal, Dany immediately asked the militiamen to remove the flammable oil barrels from the arsenal. The Dragons once again transferred to bombers.
Poor visibility at night doesn't necessarily burn many ships, but Dany needs to force the Ghis fleets to leave Yunkai immediately.
Eighty or ninety battleships and more than 400 sea-going ships are anchored at the wharf. If left alone, how many Ghis and Ghis coin can they take away?
In addition to sending the Dragons to throw the oil barrels, after the main force took the city defense, Dany immediately sent them to attack the pier outside the city.
So, whether the Great Pyramid is besieged or not, the Wise Masters inside cannot leave Yunkai by boat.
The chaos in the city continued for four or five hours. During this period, the residents of the city hid in their homes and did not go out. Only from time to time war horses ran in the streets and soldiers shouted, but the dock area became a blazing fire.
Yunkai was facing the sea to the north and west.
Dany told her soldiers in advance: Yunkai doesn't need a dock, burn all the ships, houses, warehouses, and people by the sea!
Leave a Ghis at this time, and there will be an extra yellow silk cloak in the future. If they take away a Gold Honor at this time, in the future, there will be an iron sword that will cut at us.
The 30,000 soldiers carried out the Queen's will harshly. By the early hours of the morning, the wharf area outside the city was already scorched black, and there was no more wood to burn.
"Khaleesi, there's an anomaly in the Great Pyramid." Dany was awakened from her Dragon Dream by her handmaid Jhiqui.
Her tent was placed on the giant Grand Plaza in front of the Great Pyramid. In addition to the soldiers in charge of staying vigil, many soldiers nearby lay directly on the ground and slept soundly.
The real one is waiting.
Even Dany, the past few days, slept in full body armor, only taking off her helmet, with the two-handed greatsword on the left of the blanket, an iron shield on the right, and a dagger under her pillow.
Since the last assassination by the Faceless Men, not only must there be at least one Kingsguard or Bloodridder by her side at all times, but Dany has also learned the magic trick of killing people in the Dragon's Dream.
It's not like a regular dream, Dany will enter the Dragon Dream which is beneficial to rest the body after falling asleep. Before her consciousness enters the Black Dragon's Soul, they switch. During this period, Big Black will go to her body – His Soul enters Dany's Soul, and he can get her five senses.
Because Dragons are extremely sensitive to danger, Big Black will know if someone is about to assassinate her.
"What's abnormal?" Dany sat cross-legged inside the tent, holding a stone egg in both hands.
Well, she wasn't sleeping at this time and was in contact, with Dragon Dream, the Dragon embryo in the bronze Dragon egg.
Before leaving Astapor, Dany thought that there would be a lot of killings on this trip, so it would be better to bring this egg to help it grow.
She doesn't know how many people were burned to death in the wharf area. The large multi-colored spirit was sloping toward the stone egg like a waterfall. It was only a day or two after was soon to be born.
"Daenys wants to see you, she said the Grand Wise Master is crazy." Jhiqui got into the tent, looked at the Dragon egg curiously, and asked, "Don't you need to burn it?"
"Fire will come once again. Once he comes out." Dany smiled and handed the egg to her.
Jhiqui held the stone egg and looked left and right, before saying curiously: "Bronze? It's a rather dull color."
"More Gold, there are a few bronze spots on the wings. Like differing colors in your hair." Dany stood up and said.
"That should be a beautiful sight." The Dothraki maid said with a smile.
Dany opened a corner of the tent, stuck her head out, and looked at the little silhouette beckoning with the hand in the shadow 5 meters away, "Come here."
Silence like a whisper, light as a feather, movements like a snake.
The little Water Dancer escaped from the shadows after a few slips and almost teleported to the tent. Strong Belwas, who was watching outside, narrowed his eyes and muttered: "Half a year... this child has grown."
The ordinary face, the ordinary maid Mai, and even the eyes… The innocence and childishness that a 10-year-old girl should have in her eyes hold nothing in hers.
"Daenys, you've grown taller." Dany stroked her dry, messy hair and smiled.
Daenys' frowned imperceptibly, but did not evade, and said with an even tone: "Your Majesty, that man has gone mad."
