Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

After listening to Bachelor Bas Potter's detailed explanation, Mengge just nodded slightly without feeling any surprise or joy. In fact, he also had a certain understanding of it.

The disputed land was once a prosperous place under the rule of the Valyrian Empire. In the four centuries after the Doomsday, the Free Trade Cities frequently launched wars here, turning it into a scorched earth. During the bloody centuries, it was destroyed. Lantis controlled it until the Volantis hegemony was overthrown by the city-states, and they were forced to withdraw from this land.

One hundred years after the end of the Bloody Century, Volantis invaded the Disputed Land again. Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh formed a permanent alliance to fight the invaders. They defeated their enemies, formed the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, and jointly ruled the Disputed Land. land, but in less than forty years, this regime collapsed from within. After the split, the Three Cities Alliance began to compete for the disputed land.

Thinking of this, Mengge directly set his sights on Corsolo and Harsha. He did not want to mention Pantos, Loras, Norvos, and Qohor among the nine free trade city-states, because they did not know how to do it at all. any impact on the Dothraki's plans.

Needless to say, Qohor would have been included in the kingdom's territory if Mongo hadn't needed it to remain independent and serve as an internal agent and trade window in future wars between the Dothraki and the Free Cities.

Pantos, bound by the Peace Agreement of Braavos, only has enough troops to defend the city. It always maintains a friendly attitude towards others, sending gifts and gold and silver to ensure that it will not be violated, let alone attacking others. .

Loras, located in the north of Essos and within the Shivering Sea, is the smallest, poorest, and most backward city-state among the Free Trade City-states. It is too close to the powerful Braavos, and its military power is extremely weak and even has no strength. Maintain territorial sovereignty.

As for Norvos, it has been a theocratic city-state since its establishment. Meng Ge didn’t know what orders the bearded monk god would give them deep in the temple fortress, but if it wanted to march into the Dothraki, there were only two There is a choice, follow the undercurrent river south to Volantis, take the land route westward directly into the Dothraki Sea, but no matter which choice, it must first face the blockade of Qohor.

Therefore, the nine free trade city-states of the Essos continent are now a scattered mess for Dothraki, whether in terms of geographical location, political and military strength.

Perhaps only one day in the future, when the Dothraki extend their claws to them like Volantis did during the Bloody Century, these city-states will completely wake up and truly unite.

Not mentioning this, after Corsolo received Mengge's eyes, he immediately understood the topic that Kaa wanted to ask. He quickly stood up and said loudly:

"After we formed an alliance with Ifveron, the Forest Walkers sent an army of three thousand men, and together with the Free Corps led by Elihu Phoenix, they formed a naval force of ten thousand men, with a total of one hundred battleships. More than twenty, consisting mainly of longships and flatboats provided by Ifverlon and the Auber Peninsula, were sufficient for a long offshore voyage.

As he spoke, he took out a roll of sheepskin from his waist and spread it on the long table. Seeing this, everyone gathered around him.

The ministers in the court all knew that the Dothraki and the Iban were in a war. They once thought that this war would not happen for several months, but they did not expect that the great Khal approved Corso so quickly. Luo asked for instructions to launch a war, and they were curious and confused about this matter.

Corsolo ignored the expressions and actions of others around him and pointed to Fang Bay on the sheepskin map, where there was a small anchor mark. Then, while slowly moving his finger eastward, he said:

"This is our naval base, and to the east is Ivervelon. Our navy will sail eastward along the coast. According to the intelligence of the Forest Walker, Iban whalers and fleets will hardly sail here, but In order to prevent accidents, I will send a cavalry unit at the same time. Under the leadership of Forest Walker, they will hide in the dense forest and advance along the coast with the navy. Their first task is to continuously provide intelligence to the fleet so that we can The navy avoided the Iban fishing boats and warships.”

The hall on the second floor of the palace suddenly became silent. Everyone except Mengge was excited. This was definitely a risky military operation, but Corsolo didn't seem to think so. .

He reached into his pocket, took out a piece of pitch black ink, and drew a circle on Iban Island and west of Ivervelon. Then he straightened up, looked into everyone's eyes, and continued:

"When the army reaches the control area of ​​the Iban people in the north of the Essos continent, the cavalry will be the first to reveal their whereabouts and launch a raid on the opponent's colonial city of New Ess. Since this place is very close to the Iban island, their attack will It will attract support and attention from all around.”

"You know, the whole plan is full of risks." Before he could finish his words, Bachelor Bas Potter interjected with a very serious face:

"In the event of an accident, the navy that Dothraki has worked so hard to build will sacrifice everything on the sea. More importantly, if those ships capsize, we will no longer be able to wage war against Iban from now on."

After hearing these words, memories of Fang Bay suddenly surged from Corsolo's heart. He was silent for a moment, walked up to the maester, raised his brows slightly, and replied calmly:

"A month? Three months? Or a year? When we feel that we are ready, the Iban people will be ready. We don't even have to wait until that time. When the Iban people learn about the Dothraki's intentions, they will not They will sit back and wait for death. They will only take the initiative and concentrate the entire main fleet to attack our naval base. What is the difference between this and the ending you said. "

"Furthermore, maester, I discovered a very important reality in the navy. It's just like riding a horse. No matter how hard they train, the warriors of the Free Legion will never be able to keep up with the Dothraki, or even an eight-year-old child. , are better than their riding skills. Similarly, their boat-managing skills cannot catch up with those who live by the sea, such as Forest Walker and Iban. Being able to swim and stand firm on a rocking warship is already training. Well done.”

"Therefore, we must not wait and attack before our opponents can react. The earlier we attack, the better it will be for us."

"You are right!" The bachelor was convinced by his words, nodded and stepped back: "Greetings to you, Kosoro Ten thousand households!"

Corsolo turned back to the long table and pointed at the map so that he could continue speaking freely:

"When the cavalry attracts the attention of the Iban people, our navy will take the opportunity to bypass the route of the Iban main fleet and go north to Iban Island, but we will not attack important cities such as Iban Port."

"Before I returned to the Holy City, I communicated with Governor Elihu. Under the orders of the great Kaa, he will lead five thousand navy and sixty long ships to occupy the bay area on the west side of Iban Island first. It is a gathering place of Iban people with a sparse population. There are no city walls or military ports. The local people never communicate with the outside world and attack quickly. They will not encounter much resistance and will not be discovered in a short period of time. This place will serve as a We advance to Iban's outposts to land the main force."

"If this battle plan succeeds, the final battle between us and Iban will be a land battle. By then, the Iban fleet losing supplies will not be a concern."
