Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game
Chapter 331 When the Holy Fire Is Lit
Ian's body fell asleep late last night after giving the final instructions to Reznak, and has not gotten up until now. He only left an eagle in the sky above Meereen to observe the development of the situation.
At this point, there was no need for Ian to direct things personally, and there was no point in him continuing to stay up late. But the fact that Ian went to bed without hesitation on the eve of the decisive battle fell into the eyes of Grazdan and other important ministers, and they were somewhat shocked.
The falcon was flying at a moderate altitude, overlooking the Holy Lord pyramid that was being besieged. This is the east area of the city. The Lorak Pyramid of Holy Lord Hizdahr, the Kalal Pyramid of the family of the Green Virgin, and the pyramid of another great Lord of the Holy Lords are located in this area, distributed in a finished glyph.
Since yesterday afternoon, the great Lords of Meereen from the Holy Lord sect have taken refuge in these three pyramids with their families, and Holy Lord Hizdahr has also shrunk all the city guards into this area.
Until this morning when the marauders in the port area began to move, the Great Lords of Meereen who were hiding here were still chatting happily. They celebrated that they had escaped this catastrophe and would be allocated more power with the disappearance of the royalists.
But in the blink of an eye, these people had become a mess.
With senior mercenaries as the vanguard, the Marauders Alliance came from six avenues from the west, north and east, easily tearing through the ragtag defenses of the city guards.
The Meereen City Guards were originally composed of inferior soldiers who had been eliminated from the reorganized new army. These people faced enemies several times their size, and they broke up on the spot before they even came into contact with the enemy, and fled back to the pyramid. It wasn't until they had no way out that they had to turn around and resist.
Almost all the private soldiers of the great Lords of the Holy Lord Sect were deployed under the three pyramids. After the remnant soldiers of the city guard joined these people, they temporarily blocked the raiders' offensive. However, under the rich combat experience of the mercenaries, Despite this, they still endured double the casualties of the other side.
Ian felt a little regretful about this. Although the city guards failed to pass the selection of the new army, they had received more or less training from the new army. If they could stabilize the gun formation on the street, they would occupy the roofs of the buildings on both sides. The slave crossbowmen may not be able to repel the raiders' attack.
After all, the sea raiders themselves are a ragtag group without unified command. Although these pioneer mercenaries are rich in combat experience, most of them are a group of people who cherish their lives. As for the sailors and pirates behind the mercenaries, the quality is even more variable. Not even.
As long as the city guards can block the first wave of enemy attacks and cause heavy casualties to the mercenaries, the so-called Marauders Alliance will soon have internal strife and become a mess.
It's a pity that there is no such thing. From the moment the commander of the city guard took the lead in escaping back to the pyramid, the fate of the pyramid's fall was already doomed.
The remnant soldiers under the pyramid are still carrying out their final stubborn resistance, but the great masters in the pyramid have already shown their ugly appearance.
The noble Great Lord of Meereen is good at watching slaves fight each other in the arena. They are keen on the most brutal scenes and are happy to decorate themselves with blood to show their courage.
But when the crisis really came, Ian discovered that these great lords and nobles on the three pyramids were not as good as the "Green Saint" Grazdan Kalal.
They ran away like headless flies, they knelt down and wept bitterly, they blamed each other, they hid, but no one drew their swords to resist, and no one swallowed the poison like the Green Saint and died calmly.
The raiders quickly attacked three pyramids. The Qarthites who mainly attacked the Lorak Pyramid were led by the guard captain of Xaro Xanwan Daxos. He received orders from Xaro before the attack. , after capturing the pyramid, find as many great lords and their family members as possible and slaughter them.
The captain of the guard didn't know why his master had such an idea. After all, everyone else was looking for treasures and food immediately after capturing the pyramid, but Xaro asked him to search for people.
But no matter what, an order is an order. The guard captain led Xaro's personal guards and began to search layer by layer in this kind of pyramid, killing every person wearing a tokar robe they found.
Soon, six great masters, including the Holy Lord Hizdahr himself, were found and killed by Xaro's personal guards in this pyramid.
At the same time, they also heard the cheers from their companions lower down the pyramid.
The food stored in the Lorak Pyramid has been found. This food is enough to support all of them for more than half a month. This means that they can use this place as a stronghold to gradually sack the entire city, and then there will still be enough food to support them. Sailing to Astapor, the food obtained after capturing Astapor was enough to support their return to their respective cities.
Xaro himself has already gone to Volantis's Mataeus Meguia to discuss the distribution of the spoils, because the operation went very smoothly, the spoils were extremely rich, and there were nearly twenty pyramids waiting for them in the city. Due to the looting, the atmosphere within the Marauders Alliance was temporarily harmonious, and no major conflicts occurred.
Under Xaro's instruction, a Jade Sea captain's proposal to execute these great masters to eradicate them was also supported by most captains.
The mercenaries and sailors collected and sorted the trophies and fought for rooms in the pyramid. The leaders discussed the attack plan and task allocation for the next day. Time soon came to dusk.
When the Meereen fleet suddenly appeared outside Meereen and blocked the port, the news that tens of thousands of Vangis heavy infantry entered Meereen from the Meereen port and the southeast gate was brought back by the raiders' sentries deployed in all directions. At this time, most of the looters were still preparing for tonight's celebration banquet.
They had been living frugally for three days since Meereen ran out of food. This time they found so much bread, wine and meat from the Lorak family's pyramid, and they all wanted to have a full meal.
After receiving such news suddenly, the entire Marauder Alliance collapsed almost instantly. Not only the major alliance, but even the small alliances that were united because of their good personal relationships became a piece of loose sand.
When the disaster was approaching, they fled separately. The looters who evacuated from the Lorak Pyramid area took the food and property they had grabbed and began to run through the streets of Meereen, fleeing each other.
Most of the sailors chose to flee north to the port. Although they heard that the Meereen fleet had blocked the outer sea, what if they could break through?
The mercenary group is more inclined to flee towards the west gate. After all, the enemies enter the city from the northeast and there are no enemies outside the west city of Meereen. If they can get to Yunkai and capture Meereen before the army of Gith conquers it, they can seize Yunkai's ships and escape.
But all their luck was quickly extinguished. When the sailors entered the port area, their fleet had already been captured by the Gith. What awaited them were the Unsullied and elite crossbowmen who were already waiting on the docks.
The situation of this battle was completely reversed from when they fought against the city guards. It was just that the Gith crossbowmen fired one round and the Unsullied threw one spear, and the raider sailors collapsed on the spot.
Most of them quickly surrendered or were killed. Only a few successfully evacuated the port and fled back to the streets of Midtown, but here they were attacked by Meereen civilians who rushed out of their homes.
The armed mob used all the weapons they could find to beat the invaders, who had become homeless dogs, to vent their pent-up hatred.
Compared to the sailors who were blocked in the city, 5,000 mercenaries, mainly Volantis and people from the Three Sisters city-states, rushed out of the west gate of Meereen with little resistance and set foot on Gujiskali. Coastal Boulevard.
However, before they had time to be happy, they encountered a cavalry one kilometer southwest of Meereen.
The cavalry wore black full-body armor, goat-shaped helmets, and horse and man uniforms. The sharp-eyed mercenaries quickly recognized that it was the equipment of the Kohol Black Goat Cavalry.
Because the veterans who won the Battle of Ghistaka have not yet returned to Meereen, the mercenaries waiting in Meereen only know that Fermor Zor Nakroz defeated a Dothraki in Ghistaka. Karasa didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing, let alone the large amount of black goat heavy armor they had captured there.
At this time, a group of famous Qohor heavy cavalry appeared outside Meereen City, which made the mercenaries feel a little magical.
Despite this, the psychological quality of these mercenaries who have experienced many years of war in the disputed land is still much better than that of the sailors in the port area. Under the command of several mercenary captains, they successively pushed out the grain trucks in the team, A circle was formed outside the team, and then a dense formation was formed behind the grain truck.
It would be very bad to encounter a uniformed cavalry on such a flat terrain, but the enemy's visual estimate was only 300 people at most, and there were more than 5,000 on our side, and there was also a car formation. The mercenary captains couldn't imagine A reason to be afraid.
However, as the Black Goat Cavalry approached, the mercenaries slowly noticed that there were a large number of cavalry wearing half plate armor and a larger number of naked horse archers behind them.
Flags of eagles and dragons fluttered in their hands.
"It's the Gith army. Ian Darry is back. He conquered the Dothraki." A senior sergeant murmured in a low voice.
"Fuck! Which grandson spread the rumor that Ian Darry was defeated?" Another senior sergeant yelled angrily.
"What should we do? There are at least 3,000 cavalry in front of us? Half of them are armored. We have no chance of winning." The deputy commander of the Volantis mercenaries asked in a low voice.
"We have a car formation." The mercenary leader said in a hoarse voice, forcibly comforting.
"The enemy does not need to attack, they just need to ensure that we cannot continue marching. This is only one kilometer away from Meereen. Ian's infantry will soon catch up with us after retaking the city! We will be completely crushed. !”
"Surrender, commander." At this time, a senior sergeant who was almost frightened begged.
"We have just sacked his city. Can we survive by surrendering?" the mercenary leader yelled angrily, then looked back at the soldiers behind him who had completely fallen into fear. "We must fight." He raised his voice and Please let more people hear it.
Then no one responded to him, only boos were heard in response to him
At this time, the mercenary leader was completely panicked. In full view of everyone, he actually walked towards a hooded mercenary next to him.
"What should I do? Lord Mataeus, I can no longer control the situation."
The words of the mercenary captain instantly attracted the attention of the mercenaries, which made Mataeus Meguya, who had been disguised as an ordinary mercenary, turn pale.
"This is the man! He was the one who lied to us and said that he had received the exact news of Ian Darry's defeat! He was the one who led the attack on Meereen, and he was the one who harmed us!" A senior sergeant immediately accused.
"I was also deceived by that bastard Hizdahr! He was the one who swore so much." Mataeus was about to explain, but was rudely interrupted by another senior sergeant.
"Make him pay!"
"Catch him! Use his life to plead guilty to Lord Darry!" This time even ordinary mercenaries participated.
"Yes! Catch him!" The crowd was full of echoes.
"If it weren't for his monstrous words, how could we oppose the great Emperor Gith?! Kidnap him and plead guilty to His Majesty the Emperor!" The appearance of Mataeus seemed to allow the mercenaries to find an outlet for their emotions. For a moment, everyone They all joined in the condemnation of Mataeus.
That’s not what you said when you just divided the money! Mataeus was furious, but he did not dare to curse loudly to the angry mercenaries.
I don’t know who was the first to rush towards Mataeus. Suddenly, many people drew their swords and came towards Mataeus. The mercenary leader who had just identified Mataeus realized it later. Realizing how much trouble he had caused, he could only lead his guards to stand in front of Mataeus.
This mercenary leader is a veteran of Martaeus' grandfather, Malachor Meguia, the consul. After retiring from the Volantis Citizen Militia, he formed his own mercenary group. Over the years, he has been working for Meguia. Goya Family Services. If Mataeus was really killed here, his relatives still living in Volantis would probably be liquidated.
"Protect Lord Mataeus!" the mercenary leader ordered to the guards, and at the same time hoped that more mercenaries in the regiment would come to his side.
However, just when he was facing a mercenary from an outside group who wanted to capture Mataeus and wanted to kill him, one of his cronies suddenly cut his throat-less neck from beside him.
The next moment, his other cronies swarmed forward and pushed Mataeus to the ground.
A few minutes later, the mercenaries sent a messenger to the Guards Cavalry, expressing their willingness to surrender, and presented the tied-up Mataus to Quigo, the commander of the Guards Cavalry.
Quigo had already received instructions from Ian, so he agreed to the surrender of the mercenaries, unloaded their weapons and drove them to the military camp in the city.
On the way back to Meereen, the mercenaries looked at the burning city under the bloody setting sun, and couldn't help but think of the prophecy that was widely circulated in Meereen not long ago and was used as a topic of conversation after dinner - the Danggis When the flame is rekindled, their Emperor will return like lightning.
