Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 135 134. The Battle of Essos

Just when Westeros was turbulent, Essos was not so peaceful.

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

But really, only Braavosi has power, because Volantis is now deeply mired in the slaver's bay.

At the very beginning, Volantis was ambitious and planned to forcefully push the three cities of Slaver's Bay directly by relying on the number of people. He would never give Daenerys and her dragon a chance.

But the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations. Volantis' 32 coalition forces, of which 16 were to deal with the Mother of Dragons in Meereen, and the remaining 16 were to deal with Yunkai and Astapor.

What everyone didn't expect was that Yunkai and Astapor relied on only 2 people, and they couldn't even lift their heads up against the Volantis allied army.

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

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

And the remaining 4000 people gathered north to fight against tile and aid Mi!
In fact, the 4000 people who went north this time had a great impact on the battlefield. After the reinforcements arrived, the offensive of the Volantis coalition forces was completely suppressed.

And at night, beware of the wildfire pots thrown from high above by Daenerys' two dragons.

Wanlantis also responded quickly, and a large number of troops were mobilized to the Gulf of Meereen. Astapor and Yunkai each left 1 people to stalemate with the defenders in the city.

The remaining 12 troops were also summoned to the battlefield of Meereen, and Meereen officially became a meat grinder.

Originally, Meereen must be the first to be unable to persist in such a stalemate, because the coalition forces have the support of almost all the slave city-states, and the logistical pressure can be said to be almost non-existent.

But an accident happened to the Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands. The Iron Fleet took the lead in attacking the defenders of Astapor and Yunkai, and then took advantage of the night to destroy part of the fleet in the sea area of ​​Meereen.

The tsunami cannons equipped on the main ships of the Iron Fleet are farther than the catapults. Although the accuracy is not high, they can almost shoot with eyes closed in the face of the densely packed slave owner fleet.

The Iron Fleet has a total of more than 1 people, so many people are almost insignificant in the face of the coalition forces of the slave owners, but for the Iron Fleet, the number is largely unable to determine the victory of the war.

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

There are steam engines with auxiliary power on several main ships. Although they are incomparable with the steam engines on the Ionia, they can still achieve faster speeds with less manpower.

That's why the Iron Fleet almost beat Volantis and ran away in the first week, but Volantis quickly reacted and scattered the fleet across the sea.

This approach made the accuracy of the cannons in the riverlands pitifully low, and the two sides fell into a stalemate here. However, Volantis' blockade of Slaver's Bay was broken by the Iron Fleet.

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 buy supplies.

Volantis could only watch helplessly, as soon as he approached, he would face the thunder-like weapons of the Iron Fleet.

And it was embarrassing to find that the trebuchet on his side still couldn't reach the opposite side. Facing the dense stones and explosive barrels, there was no chance to fight close to the Iron Fleet.

Meereen, Pyramid of the Dragon.

"Your Majesty, the first fleet has sailed safely. With the cover of the Iron Fleet, there is no need to worry about supplies in the future." Schiller said lightly, all of this was within his expectations.

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

"Thank you for your help. I don't know the kind of weapon you use on the ship." Obviously, Azenia's cannon caught Daenerys' attention.

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

With a distance of nearly a thousand meters, although the deviation was relatively large, the violent explosion seemed to be no less powerful than Drogon's dragon flame.

But Drogon is the only one, but this mysterious weapon is not the only one, obviously it can be mass-produced.

Schiller seriously flashed a light. Although Azenia's first-generation cannon can have a range of a thousand meters, its accuracy is really impressive.

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

As for whether Daenerys will use this group of cannonballs to beat herself up in the future, laughing to death, it will be at least ten years later, but the post-Azenia cannon 20 will come out.

But for now, the most suitable target for these first-generation artillery is Daenerys. If it is sold to the other seven countries of Westeros, tm may really beat herself!
"Your Majesty, you have also seen the power of these cannons. They are all important weapons of the country. I understand what you mean, but"

Schiller showed a look of embarrassment, and Daenerys also expressed her understanding. After all, this weapon is indeed very powerful, whether it is long-range bombardment or close-range strike.

But Daenerys did not intend to give up, "Schiller, I understand what you think, but the dragon is also the most important weapon of the country. I have already given a dragon to your Majesty. You can also show some sincerity."

Seeing Chanel's face was full of embarrassment, but she was already a little loose. Daenerys continued: "I am also Theon's wife, and my empire is also Theon's empire. I really need these weapons now."

"Oh." Schiller sighed, and said, "I will write to His Majesty, and I promise, 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 Your Majesty, this giant cannon cannot be free. You know, the empire's finances are not rich. For these giant cannons, the empire also invested a large number of golden dragons."

Daenerys smiled, "I understand, I will pay enough gold dragons, as long as you can sell me that kind of cannon."
