Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 181 Righteous Speech

As mentioned before, an uprising broke out in the city-state of Slaver's Bay, Astapor, encouraged by the Dothraki King Mongor's Emancipation Proclamation.

All the oppressed slaves, led by Cleon the Butcher and George the Priest, launched a raid to steal the command of the Unsullied and massacre the slave owners.

After successfully occupying Astapor, the slaves formed a parliament to maintain their rule, but soon the slave owners' alliances, Yunkai and Meereen, swept in.

At the same time, huge conflicts broke out within the rebel army. The dictator Cleon the Butcher was dissatisfied with the constraints of the Parliament. During the Battle of the Worm River, he stood aside and watched as the eight thousand parliamentary troops under the command of "Priest" George were destroyed on the battlefield.

Although the short-sighted Cleon was hailed as king after the war, he was unable to stop the Yunkai coalition. Forced by desperation, he sent an envoy to ask for help from the Dothraki King Mongo.

Since then, a slave uprising has completely evolved into a political game across the entire West Essos continent.

The city-states that opposed the liberation of slaves took advantage of the coronation of the great Khalmongo to send envoys to Vaes Dothraki to test him.

After three months of debate, neither side gave in.

In the end, all the slave city-states along the Summer Sea, from Volantis in the west to Qarth in the east, decided to send troops to join the Yunkai coalition.

The Dothraki did not show any signs of weakness. The great Khalmongo personally led his troops to fight, vowing to defeat the coalition forces and bring Slaver's Bay under Dothraki rule.

Hidden in the shadow of war are spies.

At this time, a Dothraki spy, Bono, was being led by Haines and Salladhor Saan, survivors of the Battle of the Worm River, preparing to sneak into Astapor and meet the Green Temple of the Holy Grace. Saint.

——

In the dead of night, under the shroud of the weeping stars, there is an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind.

"It smells like blood!"

As Bono thought, he cautiously looked towards the open areas around the edges.

At this moment, a cry like the laughter of a night owl came from under the city wall.

"Haines, Salado." A figure appeared quietly: "Is that you?"

"It's us."

The tall Haynes stepped forward and took off his hood to let the visitor have a clear look.

"Come with me quickly, and be sure to keep up. The sewers in and out of the city are almost completely blocked."

"Without my guidance, you will be lost."

The person's tone was tense and urgent, but there was no hesitation in his movements. Haines' scarred face was very recognizable, so there was no need to worry about who was pretending to be it.

"Thank you!" Haynes said vaguely.

At this time, Bono had quietly followed the crowd, using the rebel soldiers to cover his body.

The visitor did not stop or look back, but whispered to himself:

"The place where you are waiting is off. If you want to enter the city and go to the Temple of Holy Grace, that road is wrong. The end of it is blocked."

"I will take you there, but you'd better not make a sound until you reach the temple."

No one answered aloud. The visitor nodded with satisfaction and led them forward until they came to the river.

The river in front of us was flowing fast and turbulently. Even if we couldn't see clearly in the dark, we could still hear the sound of rushing water.

The sewer entrance into the city was buried in the weeds on the river bank. It was so smelly and so narrow that only one person could walk in. Everyone had to pay careful attention to the top of their head.

Under the light of the oil lamp brought by the visitor, they got in one by one.

As the visitor said, the sewers are circuitous, and many joints are locked with iron bars or blocked by dirt and gravel.

Fortunately, there were no near misses along the way.

For about two hours, until everyone was exhausted and wanted to stop, they finally walked out of the sewer and stepped into the open door of the temple.

The owner here is the so-called Green Saint. She is the highest priest of the temple and an important player in the rule of Astapor.

To be honest, Bono has seen all kinds of beauties, but he was still surprised by the beauty of the Green Saint. Not to mention, it is said that she is as wise as a wizard and as powerful as kings and slave owners.

The moment he saw each other, it was as warm as the summer breeze.

However, the Green Saint obviously didn't have much affection for him.

After Haynes finished introducing Bono's identity, the woman looked at him with interest and said:

"I don't know how you soldiers got this thing. Send him away quickly!"

"I wish I could tell you more stories, but I don't know how they brought me here."

Bono was never willing to suffer in words. He was deeply hurt by the words of the Green Saint and continued to sarcastically say:

"Maybe after your king defeats the Yunkai coalition, you can arrest me and interrogate me slowly. However, I have heard that he sent an envoy to Dothraki in order to ask for help from my king."

"Looking at it this way, after the war between Dothraki and Slaver's Bay, I may be able to capture you and find some long-lost secrets."

The Green Saint thought about the threat in Bono's words and seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, she showed a charming smile and said in a gentle and respectful tone:

"The Temple of Holy Grace will be honored to host you. May the friendship between Dothraki and Gith last forever!"

"When the Dothraki enter Astapor, there will be a chance to realize this wish."

Bono's tone still couldn't be called happy, but he knew enough was enough and continued to speak:

"But let's get down to business first."

"I heard that the temple priests and the people of Astapor are very dissatisfied with the respected King Cleon, an old friend of the Dothraki people, and have the desire to overthrow his rule."

"I, Bono, despise the suffering of the people the most. I came here just under the orders of the great Kaa to see with my own eyes the true situation of the people of Astapor."

Upon hearing these words, the Green Saint's expression suddenly became confused.

She looked sideways at Haines and Salado who were standing aside, hoping that they could stand up and explain.

"What the Dothraki envoy means is whether the temple has thoroughly investigated Cleon the Butcher's crimes."

Salladhor was very good at reading people's hearts. He knew Bono's deep meaning very well, and had silently chosen to be loyal to the Dothraki. He immediately explained aloud:

"Or, have the saints received some revelations from the gods, such as that the butcher is the cause of the disaster."

This hint could not be more obvious. Bono stood aside and nodded in agreement, adding righteously:

"The great Khal hates tyranny and cruelty to the people most. If he sees the dilapidated ruins of the city and the charred banks of the Worm River, he will definitely be very sad in his heart."

I haven’t written in a long time, and I can’t even write anymore, so I’m a little confused.

I have just read more than fifty chapters of the previous content. I am a little confused today, so I will think about it again.
