Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord - Chapter 215

c214 Deterrence and arrangements

Gavin did not rush to launch a siege, but calmly ordered the army to camp at a suitable place not far from Meereen.

As the tents began to be set up, Gavin ordered Blazing Shadow to rise into the air as a deterrent to prevent accidents. Then the dragon circled and roared wantonly in the air, and its powerful aura instantly made the entire city of Meereen feel like it was facing a formidable enemy.

The heavy city gate was tightly closed, and there were even bricks and stones inside to reinforce it.

The city walls were densely packed with soldiers who were waiting in full formation. They held weapons, but their eyes showed nervousness.

And on the higher wall in the center, there were even more sages in gorgeous tokar robes.

At this time, these wise masters had long lost their previous majesty and calmness. They looked frightened, pointed in panic with their eyes, and started talking at random.

“That dragon is too big! What should we do?” A sage said with a trembling voice. His eyes were full of fear. He stared closely at the giant dragon in the sky, and his body involuntarily stepped back. , but was squeezed in by the people behind and unable to move.

“This monster is really terrifying. Can the dragon-hunting crossbow really shoot it down?” Another sage had a face full of anxiety, and big beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead. As he spoke, he used his sleeves in a panic. Wiping the sweat, he accidentally touched the face of the person next to him, which immediately caused a burst of dissatisfied muttering.

“I knew I shouldn’t have cooperated with Volantis. What should I do now? I have provoked such a monster.” Some wise masters regretted it. They complained to each other, but they really couldn’t think of any effective solution. The only way is to work anxiously on the city wall.

Gavin’s thoughts moved slightly, and the blazing shadow in the sky immediately flew rapidly towards the sky above Meereen City.

Seeing the giant dragon’s sudden attack, the city wall instantly fell into chaos.

The wise masters could no longer maintain the previous etiquette and began to push and push to get down the city wall. However, there were so many people that a serious stampede occurred.

Some people were pushed to the ground and groaned in pain; others pushed forward desperately, just wanting to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible. The scene was chaotic and noisy.

The defensive soldiers in other positions immediately nervously adjusted their dragon-hunting crossbows and pointed them at the giant dragon in the sky.

Some soldiers were even overly nervous and fired their crossbows before the dragon was within range. This action immediately received severe scoldings and whippings from the officers.

“Fire before you reach the range, idiot! Reload quickly!” the officer roared angrily, and the whip in his hand kept hitting the soldiers’ backs. The soldiers’ faces showed pain and horror.

When Chiying flew close to the shooting range of the dragon-hunting crossbow, it chose to climb up immediately. This sudden movement caused more crossbow arrows to be fired in advance. Those crossbow arrows drew arcs in the air, and then fell down weakly, making a crackling sound.

Seeing the other party’s flustered response, Gavin couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

“Dragon flames can destroy any fortified city. You should be happy. I don’t want ruins.”

With a thought in Gavin’s mind, Chiying turned around gracefully and flew back to the military camp.

When the soldiers in the military camp saw Chiying’s return, they immediately let out a loud cheer. The sound echoed in the military camp, showing the soldiers’ awe of the dragon and their expectation for victory.

Jalal came to Gavin at this time, looked at the colorful flags on the city wall, and introduced casually: “Your Majesty, in addition to the harpy flag representing the Gith people, there are also flags of several mercenary groups on it. , the largest of which are the Second Sons and the Stormcrows.”

“The Second Sons Regiment has about five hundred people. The members come from all over the world, including the Second Sons of Westeros, illegitimate sons, and local adventurers from Essos. Most of the members come from well-off families and have been trained since childhood. Their individual strength is the best among all The strongest among the mercenary groups. This mercenary group is well-equipped, all of them are heavy infantry and archers, and there are two hundred cavalry. Among all the mercenary groups, the Second Son Group has the most combat experience. ”

“The other Storm Crow Regiment is the largest, with about 2,000 troops. Most of its members are veterans who have been on the battlefield. Their origins are more complicated. Some are former criminals who joined the mercenary regiment in order to escape punishment. “The equipment of the Storm Crow Regiment focuses on mobility, with about a thousand light cavalry.”

After hearing this, Gavin nodded lightly and ordered Jalal: “Go and bring all the commanders to my camp.” The other party immediately took the order and left.

At this time, Gavin noticed that the city gate of Meereen opened a gap, and some people came out one after another and gathered under the city wall. It could be seen that they were not wearing armor.

“This should be the envoy sent by Meereen.” After thinking about it, Gavin ignored it and turned around to head into the military camp.

In the camp, Gavin’s generals arrived one after another.

Kyle, Kairos, Gray Worm and other commanders gathered together, with serious expressions on their faces, waiting for Gavin’s instructions.

Gavin sat on a chair in the center of the camp and slowly said: “I don’t plan to take Meereen now. They have the advantage of city defense. Meereen’s city wall is also the highest among the three cities. With the help of the mercenary group, Meereen can Lin’s defenders are probably more than 10,000 people. Even with the help of dragons, the siege casualties will be huge. ”

The generals nodded after hearing this and continued to look at Gavin.

Gavin held Dawn in his hand and pointed at the map in front of him and continued:

“Not long ago, Meereen signed a contract with the Golden Company. Now the 10,000 Golden Company reinforcements are coming here through the disputed land. My plan is to encircle the point and get reinforcements. Meereen relies on their reinforcements and destroy the reinforcements. , the Meereen defenders will lose the courage to resist. If nothing happens, the Golden Company will come from the north of Meereen. Before the opponent comes, the Meereen defenders will most likely not leave the city. ”

“Meereen has three gates. Don’t worry about the west gate by the sea. There are mainly two gates in the north and south. The north gate is smaller and the south gate is the largest. Kyle, I want you to lead the second legion to camp in the north. Kairos will lead All the cavalry are responsible for monitoring the situation in the north. If there is any movement from the Golden Regiment, notify me immediately and we will find a place outside the city to deal with them.”

Kyle and Kairos immediately bowed and said in unison: “Your Majesty.”

Gavin looked at Gray Worm again and ordered: “The Unsullied Legion is concentrated in the south. During this period, we will make siege equipment and be prepared to attack the city at any time.”

“I understand, little man.” Gray Worm replied expressionlessly.

At this time, Kairos walked into the camp, bowed to Gavin and said, “Your Majesty, Meereen has sent an envoy to see you.”

After hearing this, Gavin nodded gently and told everyone: “Go and get ready.”

The generals bowed and exited the camp, leaving only Gavin and Jalal.
