Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest - #192 - Chapter 194 The Voice of Calling

Chapter 192 The Voice of Calling

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The huge battering ram was swung three times in a row, and with the final blow, the gate of Astapor was breached.

As if under some extreme pressure, the door exploded with a muffled sound.

In this way, the coalition forces broke through Astapor. They seemed to have gained the power to control fear, causing the Astapor people to scatter in front of them.

A massacre and looting is about to begin. No one can escape from this purgatory. The flow of the Worm River will be blocked by mountains of corpses.

“Come on, come on, you vicious dogs of the slave masters!”

Haynes led the remaining Unsullied and the most experienced and determined warriors to gather on the streets leading to the center of the city.

They trampled on the blood and corpses, not caring about Yunkai’s arrows. They raised their weapons desperately and withstood the first wave of attacks.

But there were too many enemies. Yunkai’s slave soldiers, New Ghis’ legions and mercenaries poured into the city one after another.

Haynes’s shield was full of cracks from repeated blows, and the arm holding the shield was also broken.

Many soldiers were like him, staggering back due to the enemy’s pressing steps.

“Astapor, Astapor!”

Haynes roared in pain and fell to the ground due to exhaustion and unsteady steps.

His fellow rebels had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly dragged him into the formation. As soon as he reached the position, a spear was pierced into the gap between the armor, and blood surged out.

Haines looked at his fallen comrades and the vacant seats that were no longer filled, his vision completely covered by tears.

“Gods! What should I do to save Astapor!”

The gods remained unmoved, but at that moment, seemed to respond to the call of the brave warrior.

In a certain section of the Worm River, a loud and long horn blast cut through the darkness and flames of war, arriving at the city of bricks and blood shrouded in death.

As if in response to this sound, countless horns echoed outside Astapor City.

The trumpet from the north blew majestically, and the Dothraki torrent came.

——

“About fifty miles south of Meereen is Yunkai, and a hundred miles south of Yunkai is Astapor.”

“A traveler on horseback, following the ancient Ghiscari Coastal Road, can reach Astapor from Meereen in nine days.”

“And we Dothraki only need three days.”

“Don’t worry about the news of the fall of Meereen spreading. No one will know where we are, and no one will know where we will go next.”

“Even if you know, it doesn’t matter, unless the Yunkai coalition can build an impenetrable solid wall, or leave Essos by ship.”

“No one can fight us Dothraki in the wild!”

It was night, and the words of the great Khal were still echoing in Nohat’s head, and the Dothraki cavalry advanced rapidly under the light of torches.

The route had crossed Yunkai and came to the vicinity of the Worm River, and they were looking for a shallower crossing along the river bank.

They could see the light of fire rising into the sky in the distant west, but they had no control over the river in front of them.

Meng Ge was in the center of the army, and the leaders all gathered around him, discussing the solution in low voices.

There are few ways for the cavalry to cross the river. One of them is to use manpower to build a pontoon bridge or a boat bridge, but the Dothraki do not have such logistics.

Then all that’s left is to take a detour to a shallower area to cross the river.

However, they had already approached the upper reaches of the river in the Ghiscari Mountains and could not find a detour.

While everyone was discussing, Nohat, who was sent out to observe the situation, also came back.

He came to Meng Ge with a frustrated face and reported the news that he had found nothing. The managers began to worry.

“Kaa, the battle in Astapor is fierce!”

“According to the news from the scouts, Cleon the Butcher is dead. There are enemies outside the city. They are building a huge siege tower and are preparing to launch an offensive. We speculate that the Astapor people may not be able to hold on for long. “

Meng Ge also frowned, feeling helpless.

At this moment, a group of exploring cavalry returned quickly. Each of them was two people and one horse, with a stranger behind them.

“Great Khal, we found several suspicious Gith people, and one of them holds a token and asks to meet you!”

Eventually, the Dothraki successfully crossed the Worm River, thanks to the help of slave rebels.

Bono once reached a secret agreement with the Green Saint:

The Temple of Divine Grace helped the Dothraki get rid of Cleon the Butcher and provided supplies for the slave rebellion outside the city. The Dothraki will ensure the safety of the Temple of Grace during and after the war.

This is one of the reasons why Haynes led some rebel soldiers into the city. Of course, they were more motivated by their own beliefs.

Bono and Salado led the remaining rebel soldiers and stayed outside the city.

The Dothraki spy did not know when the armies of the great Khal would arrive, but he knew they would come, and he knew the hearts of men.

If you don’t find something to do for the rebels who stay outside the city, sooner or later those people will collapse in silence.

So Bono told everyone that they must use the tools and supplies provided by the Temple of Holy Grace to build a pontoon bridge on the Worm River in preparation for crossing the river after the arrival of the army.

Fortunately, Dothraki did not live up to Bono’s hard work, let alone waste the expectations of the rebels.

In this way, at the moment of sunrise, ten thousand Dothraki cavalry crossed the Worm River and headed towards the battlefield with the dawn on their backs.

Riding from dawn to dusk, they rested for only three hours.

They were approaching Astapor as the outline of the mountain range was enveloped in red light.

Looking at the burning city, Nohat, who had returned from investigating the intelligence, shouted to Mengge excitedly:

“Kaa, Astapor was almost entirely in flames, the main gate was breached, and most of the enemy’s strength was almost devoted to the offensive.”

“There are not many people left in the main camp, and those who are not dispatched are also very lax. They only want to enter the city and plunder.”

A bright smile appeared on Mengge’s face, he turned around to face the Dothraki warriors who were about to move, and shouted in an extremely powerful voice that every cavalry member could hear:

“Brave Dothraki warriors, sons of the horse gods!”

“The most critical battle to conquer Slaver’s Bay has arrived. In front of you are your enemies, achievements and honor!”

“We have sworn an oath to the Holy Mother Mountain, and it is time for us to fulfill our oath. Dothraki’s conquest of the world begins from this moment. We must let this land and its rulers understand our power!”

“The Dothraki are invincible in every battle, and they can attack everything they turn towards!”

The cavalrymen raised their spears and scimitars, creating a shocking momentum.

Meng Ge raised the “Weeping Star” in his hand and pointed forward, and the war horse swept out like a strong wind.

“Nohat! You lead the bloodriders, follow me, and let the flag of the Dothraki King fly behind me!”

“Everyone, charge forward, break up any gathering enemies, and kill all enemies you see!”

According to the information, it is 50 leagues from Meereen to Yunkai, and 100 leagues from Yunkai to Astapor. A traveler on horseback can reach Astapor from Yunkai in six days.

The league is an ancient unit of measurement. One league is 4 roli, which is the Roman mile. 1 roli is 1.49 kilometers.

Calculated this way, Yunkai to Astapor is 596 kilometers. This horseback traveler is quite powerful and can ride a hundred kilometers in a day.

In short, I don’t know if my calculation is correct. I welcome your comments. Here I changed it to one hundred miles, which defaults to kilometers.
