Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 66 Anti-Dragon King Alliance

I don't know if it's a coincidence or necessity, but the world's two major gathering places of human civilization have fallen into a huge vortex of war at the same time.

Not long after the Seven Kingdoms War in Westeros began, the war on the continent of Essos entered the preparation stage.

Yunkai joined forces with New Ghis, Volantis and several weak free trade city-states to form the Anti-Dragon King Alliance and assembled an army of 30 slaves.

The news quickly reached Meereen, and Daenerys immediately held a round table meeting, and all the new power classes in Meereen were present.

In the main hall of the Dragon Pyramid, in addition to the big round table in the middle, there are also rectangular tables on both sides, which is Daenerys's own idea.

Long Ma doesn't have long-term political wisdom, but she still has a lot of cleverness in some things.

For example, setting up this long table meeting was because Daenerys was afraid that Meereen would become Jack's all-talking, so she did this thing.

Dany divided the pyramid of the real dragon into three power ladders. The first ladder is Dany herself, sitting on the throne at the top.

The second step is the Round Table Council, which is the leadership of Meereen, the Imperial Council after the separation of powers.

The third step is the people in front of the square table, officials and representatives at all levels in Meereen, and religious forces such as the Green Maiden, who belong to the executive class and have no decision-making power.

"Now Yunkai has united with many forces to form the Anti-Dragon King Alliance. Do you have any countermeasures?"

Dany asked everyone.

The establishment of the Anti-Dragon King Alliance was within her expectations, but she never expected that Yunkai could win so many allies in such a short period of time.

Volantis, New Ghis, Thoros, and even Qarth's camel soldiers.

Especially the sea fleet composed of [-] warships of Volantis, this is definitely not good news for Dany.

Once Volantis' fleet arrives, Meereen's maritime trade will be directly blocked.

Everyone in the hall was silent, there is no good way now, only soldiers to block and water to cover.

Moreover, the arrangements made by the prime minister before are already very comprehensive, and they have nothing to do.

So many people looked at Jack in silence, after all, it's not a problem for a courtier to keep silent.

Upon seeing this, Jack said directly: "Your Majesty, it is not us who should be worried, but the Slave Owners Alliance.

Their alliance is called the Anti-Dragon King Alliance because of the four dragons in your hand and mine.

They are afraid that the dragon will grow up, so they want to use the word "Dragon King" to awaken people's fear and let everyone unite to deal with us.

Moreover, the Kaiser Pass is under our control, and the Raza people are willing to sell us grain at [-]% of the market price, as long as we provide them with shelter.

Food is available, people are available, and we are also buying iron ore on the market. Now there are [-]% more iron ore merchants in Meereen than before.

With iron ore we can forge weapons and then arm the Freefolk Legion. "

After hearing Jack's words, not only Daenerys was relieved, but even the rest of the people present felt confident.

In many cases, Jack is like Meereen's reassurance, as if as long as Jack speaks, there will be no problem.

Mantu said at this time: "The Prime Minister means, as long as we can delay the time, can we win this war?"

Everyone was looking forward to Jack's answer, but what Jack said next poured cold water on everyone.

"The first two years are beneficial to us. We need to train troops and stabilize the operation of Meereen. But after a long time, if we can't defeat the coalition after the financial bottom, then we don't need slave owners to send troops, we will first disintegrate ourselves gone."

Jack looked at everyone, "This is the problem before us. The Anti-Dragon King Alliance has just been established, and it will take at least half a year to get together and send troops together."

"In the next six months, we must take down Yunkai and Astapor, otherwise we will really be trapped in a lonely city when the alliance forces form an encirclement circle."

Dany sat on the throne, frowning slightly.

It is not difficult to understand what Jack means. Before the anti-Dragon King alliance gathers and surrounds Meereen, take Yunkai and Astapor first.

Otherwise, they will face the double-teaming of the Anti-Dragon King Alliance's navy and army.

But if you take Yunkai and Astapor first, you don't have to worry about the army, just do your best to resist the navy's beach landing.

But the question is, how to ensure a firm foothold in Yunkai and Astapor?

"I would like to ask the Prime Minister, Meereen's army only has [-] Unsullied, and [-] will be allocated to protect the Raza people. How can the rule of the three cities of Slave Bay be stabilized?"

"Freedom Legion."

"The Freefolk Legion?" Dany asked back.

In Dani's view, the Freedom Legion is just a decoration, at least for the next six months.

Composed of a group of ordinary slaves, without decent weapons and armor, such a legion is indeed like a decoration compared to the Unsullied.

"That's right, the Free People's Legion, not counting the Unsullied who sheltered the Raza people, you still have 600 people.

3000 Two hundred Unsullied and the black dragonflight garrison Meereen; two thousand and four hundred Unsullied and the white dragonflight garrison Yunkai, and the remaining Unsullied and green dragonflight garrison Astapor. "

"With all due respect, I don't think it is a good choice to divide the troops. The slave owners are very likely to take this opportunity to encircle the Unsullied in Yunkai and Astapone."

Barristan is not optimistic about the decision to divide the troops. In his opinion, the most powerful of the Unsullied is the army formation, and the more they are, the stronger they are. Once the troops are divided, no city-state can resist the coalition forces of the slave owners.

Barristan saw that Dany was still thinking, so he went on:

"Your Majesty, the three free folk legions have a total of 8000 people, and each legion is divided into only 6000 people.

Even including the Unsullied, it was less than 30. This did not include the casualties in the attack on Yunkai and Astapor, and the slave master coalition had a total of [-]. "

"Ser Barristan, I think you have overlooked a question. After we take Yunkai and Astapor, can't we recruit more troops?

Besides, we haven't plundered the sages of Yunkai yet, their pyramids must contain great wealth. "

Barristan frowned, and said: "My lord, believe me, you haven't participated in the war, so you may not know.

The newly recruited soldiers are easily defeated and cannot be compared with normal soldiers at all. Not all soldiers are like the Unsullied Legion. "

After speaking, Barristan also took a look at Gray Worm, hoping that Gray Worm could join him in persuading Daenerys not to distract her.

However, Gray Worm pretended not to see it. He didn't want to, and he didn't have the ability to participate in the decision-making. He just had to obey Her Majesty's orders.

Seeing that Gray Worm had no intention of speaking, Barristan could only pray that Daenerys would follow his advice.
