Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 135 134. Battle of Essos

Even when Westeros is turbulent, Essos is not so calm either.

First, Braavos declared war on Ezenia, and then Volantis declared war on Ezenia. It seemed that in an instant, the two giants of Essos were hostile to Ezenia and launched a war.

But the only real power is Braavos, because Volantis is now deep in the quagmire of Slaver's Bay.

At the beginning, Volantis was ambitious and planned to directly push the three cities of Slaver's Bay by relying on their numbers, and would never give Daenerys and her dragons a chance.

But the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations. Volantis' 320,000 coalition troops, 160,000 of them went to deal with the Mother of Dragons in Meereen, and the remaining 160,000 went to deal with Yunkai and Astapor.

What no one expected was that Yunkai and Astapor, with only 20,000 men, were able to defeat the Volantis coalition and were unable to lift their heads.

Relying on the range advantage of the wheel trebuchet, a total of two hundred trebuchets were distributed in Yunkai and Astapor, while Volantis's ship-borne trebuchets could not even get close to the coast.

As the situation changed, Schiller of Meereen also discovered this and randomly ordered each city to leave three thousand defenders. At the same time, he mobilized a large number of militiamen to carry supplies and assist in defending the city.

The remaining 14,000 people gathered to go north to fight against Wa and aid Mi!

In fact, the 14,000 people who went north this time had a huge impact on the battlefield. After the reinforcements arrived, the Volantis coalition's offensive was completely suppressed.

Meereen, Pyramid of the Dragon.

This allowed Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor to re-establish contact with the outside world. With the protection of the Iron Fleet, a large number of merchant ships began to go out to purchase supplies.

Volantis could only watch helplessly. Once he got close, he would face the thunder-like weapons of the Iron Fleet. Sometimes when he finally got close, a large number of trebuchets would bombard them wildly.

But Daenerys did not intend to give up, "Schiller, I understand your thoughts, but the dragon is also an important weapon of the country. I have given a dragon to your majesty. You can also show some sincerity."

"Your Majesty the Queen, the first fleet has safely sailed to sea. With the cover of the Iron Fleet, there is no need to worry about supplies in the future." Schiller said calmly. All this was as he expected.

"Thank you for your help. I don't know what kind of weapons you used on the ship." Apparently Ezenia's cannon attracted Daenerys's attention.

This approach resulted in a pitifully low hit rate for the cannons in the Riverlands, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. However, Volantis's blockade of Slaver's Bay was broken by the Iron Fleet.

Theon is well aware of the importance of the navy, so the Iron Fleet can be said to have gathered all the black technology available in the Iron Islands half a year ago.

Lantis also responded quickly, and a large number of troops were mobilized to the Bay of Meereen. Astapor and Yunkai each left 10,000 people to confront the city's defenders.

The remaining 120,000 troops were also summoned to the battlefield of Meereen, and Meereen officially became a meat grinder.

The Iron Fleet's expedition totaled more than 10,000 people. Such a number of people was almost insignificant compared to the slave owners' coalition, but for the Iron Fleet, the number of people was largely unable to influence the victory of the war.

As for whether Daenerys will beat herself to death with these cannons in the future, it will have to be at least ten years later, but after all the cannons from Ezenia have been released.

Therefore, Ezenia plans to sell a generation of giant cannons to Daenerys, which will not only make a lot of money, but also intensify the conflict in Essos.

But an accident happened to the Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands. The Iron Fleet took the lead in sneak attack on the defenders of Astapor and Yunkai, and then took advantage of the night to destroy part of the fleet in the Meereen Sea.

Schiller looked embarrassed, and Daenerys also understood this. After all, this weapon is indeed very powerful, whether it is long-range bombardment or close-range strike.

When the Iron Fleet arrived before, she saw that the Iron Fleet only had more than 300 ships. She rode Drogon on a special trip to help, but Ezenia's cannon stunned Daenerys.

And he was embarrassed to find that the trebuchet on his side still couldn't reach the other side. Facing the dense rocks and explosive barrels, there was no chance to get close to the iron fleet and fight up close.

But now, the most suitable target for selling these first-generation artillery pieces is Daenerys. If they are sold to the other seven nations of Westeros, they might really hit themselves!

"Your Majesty, you have seen the power of these artillery pieces. They are all important weapons of the country. I understand what you mean, but"

Daenerys also breathed a sigh of relief. The three-month battle had almost collapsed Meereen's logistics. If she didn't go out to buy supplies, she would be completely overwhelmed.

Therefore, in the first week, the iron fleet almost overwhelmed Volantis, but Volantis quickly reacted and scattered the fleet on the sea.

But Drogon is the only one, but this mysterious weapon is not the only one. It can obviously be manufactured in batches.

Several main ships also have auxiliary power steam engines. Although they are not comparable to the steam engines on the Ionia, they can still achieve faster speeds with less manpower.

Seeing that Xian Le was embarrassed, but she was already a little relieved, Daenerys continued: "I am also Theon's wife, and my empire is also Theon's empire. I really need these weapons now."

Schiller had a serious flash of light. Although Ezenia's first-generation cannon can have a range of a thousand meters, its accuracy is really impressive.

Originally, if this stalemate continued, the first person to be unable to hold on would definitely be Meereen, because the coalition had the support of almost all the slave city-states, and it could be said that there was almost no logistical pressure.

At a distance of nearly a kilometer, although the deviation was relatively large, the violent explosion seemed to be no less powerful than Drogon's Dragon Flame.

And at night, you have to beware of wildfire jars dropped from high altitudes by Daenerys' two dragons.

The tsunami cannons equipped on several main ships of the Iron Fleet have a far longer range than the trebuchets. Although their accuracy is not high, they can almost hit the densely packed slave fleet with their eyes closed.

"Alas." Schiller sighed and said, "I will write to His Majesty, and I guarantee that I will get at least 50 tsunami cannons for you."

"That weapon is called the Tsunami Cannon? It is indeed a very realistic name." Daenerys' eyes lit up.

"But Her Majesty the Queen, this cannon cannot be free. You know, the empire's finances are not tight. For these cannons, the empire has also invested a large amount of golden dragons."

A smile appeared on Daenerys's face, "I understand, I will pay enough golden dragons, as long as you can sell me that giant cannon."
