Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest - #196 - Chapter 198 Surrender without killing

Chapter 196 Surrender without killing

When the news of the fall of Meereen and the defeat of the coalition forces reached Yunkai, the good lords in the city were frightened, panicked, and full of fear of the Dothraki.

So, they organized their property and supplies and planned to flee the city with their loyal slaves and the remaining mercenaries, but they did not have enough ships to carry all their property and troops.

Almost all of Yunkai’s fleet was lost in Astapor, either surrendering to the Dothraki or fleeing to the Summer Sea with Volantis.

I am afraid that only when the war is over will the fleeing fleet dare to secretly return home.

Since they didn’t know when the Dothraki would launch an attack, no one among the Good Lords was willing to give in and let each other go, so they were forced to stay in the isolated city together.

This is also the main reason why Mongo is not in a hurry to march towards Yunkai.

In his opinion, those good people are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They will choose to escape. When the escape route is cut off, they may surrender or negotiate. They are definitely the easiest harvest.

Although he was unhurried, Dothraki was still advancing at a slow pace. Five days after leaving Astapor, they arrived outside Yunkai.

As expected, the Good Lords were prepared to pay a considerable price for the Dothraki King’s forgiveness.

They had planned everything early. The old, weak, women and children among the slaves were released from the city, and a lot of property was placed outside the city gate, ready to be used to bribe the Dothraki.

In the good master’s mind, Mengge is just a stronger and more fierce horse king, and should not be much different from the previous horse king.

At the same time, they also made other preparations and sent the remaining mercenaries hired by Yunkai and all the other adult men who could bear arms to the city walls.

In this way, at the beginning of the next month after the defeat of the Yunkai Alliance, the Dothraki and the initiating city-states of the Yunkai Alliance officially met.

“Mongo, King of the Dothraki, Master of the Northern Kingdoms!”

A fat man wearing a yellow silk tokar robe with golden tassels, unable to even stand, shouted to the surging Dothraki army outside the city:

“I am Yazan zo Qua’gorz of Yunkai. Here, I explain to you in person that I apologize. The coalition is the act of Yakhaz zo Yazak’s own will and has nothing to do with other good masters.”

“Now, he is dead, died under the hooves of Dothraki horses, and the Yazak family is also dead, died in an accidental fire.”

“Liars, lies!” The young people from Astapo who spontaneously accompanied the army shouted in unison: “Lies!”

They all jumped up and faced the city wall, ready to move, drawing their weapons and cursing.

Meng Ge asked the Astapor Youth Army to calm down and continue to listen to the explanation of the good Lord.

Finally, when the good Lord Yazan Zo Quagz described the entire process of the formation of the alliance and clarified the relationship, he continued:

“Great Khal, Yunkai had a very close relationship with the Dothraki before. Now, let us restore this relationship!”

“All the slaves and treasures outside the city belong to you. From now on, Yunkai is willing to pay tribute of the same amount and value to the Dothraki every year.”

But Mengge turned a deaf ear to what he said, and kept to himself and said to the messenger:

“Are the siege weapons ready?”

Those siege weapons transported by ships were disassembled by craftsmen and put on the ship. If you want to use them, you have to reassemble them, which takes some time to prepare.

While they were negotiating, a group of craftsmen were sweating away at work in a birch forest.

The messenger rode away. When Yazan was waiting extremely anxiously, Nohat received Kaa’s signal and spoke up, shouting in a powerful voice:

“Now, standing before you is the Dothraki Great Khalmongo!”

“Facing a noble and benevolent king, you close the city gates, are fully armed, and look like you are going to war. What do you want to do?”

After spending a long time with Maester Bass Potter, Nohat also changed from a straight-forward Dothraki warrior to a convoluted one. He picked up a set of tricks and used them with confidence.

Unfortunately, the Good Lord did not understand Dothraki, and while the translator was explaining it to him, they noticed a group of people approaching.

From behind the wall, they watched the men leading the horses and dragging a huge wheeled battering ram slowly out of the birch forest. They could also clearly distinguish that it was protected by a shell made of raw animal skins.

At this moment, everyone in the city understood each other’s feelings.

Meng Ge wanted all the wealth of the city. The good man’s face turned ugly and he quickly left this dangerous and deadly city wall.

After a series of wars triggered by slave revolts, the resentment between Astapor and Yunkai ran deep.

The swords and spears of the youth army flashed with blazing light in the sun, and every warrior was filled with the desire to kill.

When the battering ram advanced outside the city gate, they immediately raised their shields and guarded the battering ram as they continued to move forward.

Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall immediately suppressed them with rockets from a high position.

The Dothraki cavalry naturally showed no sign of weakness and galloped towards the defenders in response to the rain of arrows.

The height of Yunkai’s city wall is not comparable to that of Meereen, and is even somewhat dilapidated. Even if it is temporarily increased and reinforced, it still looks shaky.

Under their cover, the young army gradually became calm and guarded the battering ram as it advanced toward the city gate in an orderly manner.

In this way, the offensive and defensive battle of Yunkai began in the tight encirclement of Dothraki.

“Is there still no news from the leader?”

Several warriors wearing leather armor and mercenary costumes were hiding behind the city wall, restless as they listened to the sounds of the Dothraki raging outside.

“This city cannot be defended at all. The Dothraki are too strong. They are tall and strong, and there are many of them.”

They had previously mentally estimated how many Dothraki would come to attack Yunkai. It was not until today that they discovered that the number was even more exaggerated than everyone imagined.

The outside of the city was crowded with black troops, and as far as the eye could see, there were enemies surrounding Yunkai, densely packed like moldy mold, occupying the entire plain.

The most important thing is that the enemy did not set up a camp outside the city, and seemed to be preparing to break the city wall in a battle.

Thinking of this, several mercenaries became more and more anxious. They looked at each other, tacitly and skillfully pulled out their swords and cut the bowstring in their hands.

They did this in the hope of proving their innocence when they surrendered, in exchange for an extra chance of survival.

There are many mercenaries who have the same idea as these mercenaries.

Soon, fewer and fewer arrows were fired from the city wall, and their accuracy was frightening. Even the young army that was advancing forward felt that the pressure was dissipating.

Meng Ge’s observation skills were very detailed. He could see the changes in the battle situation in front of him, but he didn’t understand why the defenders didn’t open the city and surrender.

In fact, he was waiting for the mercenaries to surrender, the mercenaries were waiting for the commander to give the order to surrender, and the commander was waiting for the Dothraki to shout “Surrender without killing!”
