Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 184 Deadly River

Under the strong orders of Khal Mengol and the desire for military exploits and wealth, the Dothraki rode horses and horses one by one, without stopping, through sunset and twilight, and all the way into the dark night.

Time passed slowly, and they continued to drive non-stop, and some of the cavalry began to lower their heads.

If they had not tied themselves to the horse's back, they might have fallen off the horse and died under the horse's hooves.

The tired but proud bloodriders followed their untiring leader, quickly leaving the scenery on both sides behind.

When they finally dismounted to rest, even the young and strong Nohat felt that his whole body was sore and weak.

At this moment, if Meereen sends an army to attack them, they will definitely win a great victory.

It's a pity that the Meereenese don't have the courage. The Dothraki have already seen clearly their strategy and reality.

Along the way, the surrounding fields were harvested and all the trees were burned down, leaving only the Dothraki's scorched land and poisoned well water.

At the same time, at the entrance to the village and on every milepost on the road, a slave was nailed alive, with his intestines hanging out and one arm stretched out, pointing east.

It can be seen from this that the people of Meereen never want to have any contact with the Dothraki. They only intend to keep the walls clear and huddle behind the tall and solid walls of Meereen.

Moreover, the Meereenese wanted to send a warning to the Dothraki with some cruel behavior.

No doubt the Dothraki were enraged, and they rested for only a few hours before waking up again.

It was still dark, and there were many clouds floating in the dark night sky. Under the desolate moonlight, they continued on their way, as fast as during the day.

After an unknown amount of time, the darkness slowly disappeared like thick fog and turned into gray. The red dawn burst out from the mountains and hills behind them.

Dawn had arrived, and a cool breeze carrying the breath of the sea blew through, cheering up all the Dothraki.

Suddenly, a group of scouts with bows and arrows returned, halted the neighing horses, raised their whips and pointed behind them.

"The great Khal is Meereen!" The scout leader shouted loudly, unable to hold back the joy on his face.

Everyone opened their tired eyes and looked intently. The first thing that caught their eyes was not a city, but a huge pyramid. On the top of the tower stood a bronze statue, reaching into the clouds.

As for the walls of Meereen, they looked to the Dothraki like a ribbon around the foot of the pyramid.

Meng Ge ordered everyone to stay on guard, and then asked the scout, the head of the hundred households:

"Tell me what you saw!"

"The city wall is very high and thick, and is well repaired. There are defense towers at every corner, and there are many soldiers in armor guarding them. They are very vigilant."

"There are also bronze harpy heads on the wall. In my eyes, they should be able to spray things like fire oil and boiling water outwards."

The chief of the hundred scout households looked at Meereen City in the distance, carefully recalled all the information he had detected, and continued:

"The city wall on the west side was built on the coast, which is the port, and many ships are still docked there. The city wall on the north side extends along the river bank. The outside of the remaining two walls has been cleared, leaving no materials for us to build. Siege weapons.”

After listening to this information, Bachelor Bass Potter standing aside said with emotion:

"It seems that the people of Meereen have given us a series of problems."

The Dothraki are all cavalry, but even if they have infantry, they can't make siege weapons now.

Moreover, the walls of Meereen are high and thick, making it difficult for ordinary siege weapons to be effective.

Not to mention using the method of filling the city like the attack on Qohor. The surrounding Meereen has been fortified and cleared. If we still do that, the Dothraki may shed all their blood under the city wall.

However, having said that, there was no worry on the faces of Mongo and Maester Bass Potter.

——

The morning light was very bright on the banks of the Skahazadan River. The rapid river flowed through the city of Meereen and then flowed westward into the sea.

In the silent riverbed covered with thorny slaves, several Dothraki scouts suddenly appeared here on horseback, and the sound of the bells in their braids was particularly clear.

But they didn't care at all, because their enemies didn't dare to leave the city at all, so they didn't have to worry about their whereabouts being exposed.

This team of Dothraki scouts waited for a long time and seemed to hear something. Several strange bird calls came from the river.

The leader looked stunned, and quickly took out a bone whistle from his arms, bit it in his mouth, and blew out three long and one short whistle.

Then, several dripping Gith people were seen emerging from the river.

The Dothraki cavalry quickly drew out their scimitars, bows and arrows and remained alert, but the leading scout captain saw some problems.

There is something strange about these Gith people. Their distinctive red hair is mixed with a lot of black hair, and some blood-red water is flowing down their cheeks.

Coupled with the mission arranged by the great Kaa himself, the scout captain understood everything in an instant, immediately suppressed the bow and arrow in his hand, and stopped his men from attacking.

"Put away your weapons, we are one of our own!"

At the same time, the Dothraki camp headed east from the Skahazadan River.

In the great Kaa's tent, Meng Ge and the leaders were sitting on the floor, studying a map.

There are three major cities along the coast of Slaver's Bay, from north to south, Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor.

As long as these three cities are captured, it means that the Dothraki have conquered Slaver's Bay.

But cavalry siege is always a big problem. Mengge has thought of many ways to do this, such as training an siege force, waiting for the dragon to grow up, wildfire bombs, etc.

With these, he dared to climb even the Black Wall of Volantis.

But time waits for no one, and the only thing that can come in handy now is the wildfire bomb, and because of its poor stability, it was not carried during this emergency march.

However, if the problem is not difficult to overcome, if hard power is insufficient, soft power can be used to make up for it.

Meereen stands on the banks of the Skahazadan River, giving the city unique geographical conditions.

Such as shipping, or water sources.

But the people of Meereen never drink river water, only well water, because they themselves feel disgusted. All the city's excrement will be sent into the Skahazadan River through huge brick sewers.

In the original storyline of this world, Dragon Queen Daenerys sent a small team to sneak into Meereen from the sewers, create chaos in the city, and take the opportunity to breach the city gate.

Mongo can't guarantee that a plan will work equally well. What if he puts more pressure on Meereen and the enemy becomes more cautious, strictly guarding it or directly sealing the sewers?

Therefore, he sent Bono to lead a team of spies to lurk in Slaver's Bay a long time ago.

Exploring the sewers of Meereen is one of their tasks.
