Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest - #190 - Chapter 192 Questioning the Proof

Chapter 190 Questioning the Proof

News of Volantis’ arrival had spread long ago, and the commanders of all the allies gathered in the Yunkai camp to wait.

After some mutual introductions, Belicio and the Tattered Prince were led directly into the camp.

But just as the two were about to step into the Generalissimo’s camp, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them:

“You two, be careful with your words and deeds! This is not the time to respect the elderly.”

Belicio and the Tattered Prince looked back silently and recognized the man as the general from Meereen, “Riverkeeper” Skaratz mo Cantak.

Skalatz has an ugly face, with a pair of small eyes with huge eyebags under the too-high brow bones, a big nose covered with acne, and the shiny skin is not the amber color common among Gith people, but sallow. , looks very tough and brutal.

Belicio and the Tattered Prince, who both had good looks and temperament, did not have a particularly good impression of Skarlats. After hearing the inexplicable words just now, they felt that this man had a cunning and treacherous character.

The two of them knew who the so-called respected elders were, and they also understood that there might be some problems within the Yunkai Alliance.

However, when they first arrived, they didn’t ask out of pure curiosity.

Everyone entered the camp and took their seats. They carried the two burly slaves of Supreme Commander Yakhaz and placed their master on a table covered with exquisite brocade.

Yakhaz stared at his knees, and the slave waiting on the side handed him a scepter with a golden harpy on the tip, and then he raised his head and spoke.

“Hello, Belicio of Volantis and Prince of the Wind Blowing Regiment, at this moment of imminent crisis, first of all, thank you for bringing your troops to provide support.”

“Secondly, according to the intelligence we have received, the Horse King is leading his army southward, and the Kaiser Pass is also under the control of the Dothraki. It can be said that there is no obstacle to the Horse King’s journey south.”

“There are signs that a disaster is coming, darker than any crisis we have ever experienced!”

“It is said that you once fought with the Horse King who unified the Dothraki in Volantis. Please tell us about his situation!”

Hearing Yakhaz say this, Belicio felt a little ashamed and quickly explained:

“I only saw the Horselord’s army on the walls of Volantis. I was one of two witnesses. The other was the late Malachor Meguirre. As you can see, I Not much experience in the military, so no real useful insights.”

“However, the ruler Malachor Megoa once said after seeing the Dothraki army that city walls are the greatest invention of human civilization. I think what he means is, let us use our advantages and rely on thick city walls. Stick to it.”

What Bellicio said was reasonable and well-founded, and the Tattered Prince nodded repeatedly as he listened.

After the former Tiger Party leader Maracho Meguya was killed by Mongo, he seemed to have died out, and his political ideas were never mentioned again.

But now it seems that Bellicio still respects the “Tiger” more and is walking on the path of his predecessors.

Thinking of this, the Tattered Prince felt that his secret agreement with Volantis had more protection.

However, then he thought of Dothraki again, and said solemnly:

“I don’t know much about the Horse King. It was this damn Dothraki who killed my right-hand man. He was unusually brave, and unlike other centaurs, he was very cunning.”

“No matter how cunning he is, he’s still a centaur.”

Skalatz from Meereen sneered, then looked sharply at the Supreme Commander Yakharz and said:

“Before we deal with the Dothraki, we should think carefully about how to break Astapor, otherwise the coalition forces will face the crisis of being attacked from both sides, and then they will face what you said is the greatest darkness in history.”

A look of anger flashed across Yakkhaz’s face, and he stretched out his scepter and pointed at Skaraz.

“Give me the ten thousand warriors Meereen promised to support, and Astapor will be destroyed in an instant!”

Stimulated by this tone, Skarlats felt the blood surge in his head.

If 10,000 soldiers from Meereen arrived, there would be no need for this old guy to command, and how could this old guy still sit safely in the position of supreme commander.

Skalatz’s face turned dark, he moved away from staring at Yakkhaz, looked at the others and said:

“In short, there is no doubt that what I said is a reality.”

At this moment, Belicio and the Tattered Prince, who had just arrived, had no choice but to admit that what he said made sense, no matter how bad their impression of Skarlatz was.

The two glanced at the other allied generals and the commanders of the mercenary groups in the camp, and saw that everyone remained silent, so they did not say a word.

Belicio and the Tattered Prince understood the situation here, and it seemed that they were not the only ones who doubted Yakhaz’s commanding ability.

But the supreme commander has been widely questioned by everyone. Even the mercenary group hired by Yunkai is unwilling to defend Yakkhaz at this time.

Everyone remained silent, as this was the only remaining respect for the generalissimo.

After this farce-like meeting ended in silence, Bellicio followed the Tattered Prince and said slowly:

“Is it just to see this that we sailed from Volantis through the starry night and crossed the ocean storm?”

The Tattered Prince did not answer. He was more like a ruler than Belicio, more kingly, and more calm and composed.

At this moment, the Volantis Tiger Party in power suddenly said something meaningful.

“The Dothraki have won a great victory, and the town of Sehoru in Volantis has been captured.”

The Tattered Prince immediately stopped and turned to Belicio with his dark eyes. There seemed to be some hidden meaning in them, and he whispered softly:

“What matters most to me is the agreement between us that the Windblowers fight for Volantis and receive their due reward.”

The two met and smiled, reaching some special tacit understanding.

The next day, as if to clean up the shame at the meeting, or to prove himself, Grand Marshal Yakhaz personally took command.

He organized all five thousand Yunkai’s standing troops to go into battle. Once the city was broken, they would be the first to rush into the city and face their enemies-the Unsullied.

In order to ensure the safety and morale of this army, he asked the mercenary group and the iron army to guard the left and right wings.

Next, the generalissimo launched his most important weapon – six trebuchets, which were built specifically to target the thick city wall during the confrontation between the coalition forces and Astapor.

After the assembly, these six trebuchets were forty feet high. They stood behind the Yunkai people’s military formation and became the most eye-catching siege facility on the entire battlefield. They were surrounded by piles of stone bullets and unlit barrels of pitch.

Soon after, the sound of hammer striking passed through the dry and hot air and reached the ears of every soldier.

As the long arms of the six trebuchets waved, a batch of stone bullets were thrown into the air. The burning stone bullets rolled in the air and flew towards Astapor like a flock of flamingoes that had found their prey.

In this way, the real offensive and defensive battle of Astapor began.
