They could not hold on any longer!
They could not even sleep.
In the wee hours of the morning, a group of Virtuous Lords crawled out of their beds like frightened chicks and rushed to the Virtuous Lord's pyramid.
"How is this possible? Last night, we were still discussing with her about ransoming the captives. At that time, there were still 50,000 people in the camp. Even if dragons can fly, even if … Sigh, it's 250 kilometers from Yuankai to Meereen. There are so many manors and merchants along the way. Are they all blind? Also, how could an army of 50,000 run 250 kilometers in three days? They've already marched 600 kilometers in a hurry. "
The Virtuous Lord sat on a wooden chair covered with a blanket. He looked at the generals around him in despair, hoping that a wise man would step forward to answer his questions.
There were many generals and famous generals present. The Ragged Prince had 30 years of military experience; Grazidan graduated from the famous "Military Academy" and was the War God of Yuankai for 10 years; the Warship Captain had traversed the four seas and fought countless battles … Even Zidane, who had the least experience, had served in the Braavos Army for five years and was the captain of a cavalry regiment for three of those years.
However, they couldn't figure out a simple question: How did we lose?
"Let's think about it …" In the end, it was Yazan who spoke.
Yazan was once the wisest person in Yuankai. Together with the War God Grazidan, they were known as the "Two Heroes of Yuankai".
However, Grazidan was luckier. He developed steadily and had a bright future ahead of him.
When Yazan was young, his mind was more flexible. Because he was too smart, he had been trying to explore the unknown world and find the truth between heaven and earth … Yazan went to Sothros, opposite Ursos, to explore and was infected with a strange disease. He went from a promising hero to a paralyzed dung man who could not control his lower body.
But even if his body was crippled, he still used his wisdom to earn endless wealth and became the richest man in Yuankai.
"During the negotiation last night, there were 50,000 people in the Mother Of Dragons' camp?" Yazan looked at Zidane.
"Yes." Zidane nodded.
"Counting the chimneys?" Yazan frowned.
"Not only the number of bonfires, I also compared the number of tents and soldiers in the camp with the size of the entire camp. I used a few different estimation methods and the conclusion was the same — 50,000 people," Zidane explained.
Yazan looked at Danzo and asked, "Are you sure you saw the Mother Of Dragons in person?"
"Can this be faked? She has silver hair and purple eyes. She's very pretty. More importantly, she gives off the aura of a queen, "Danzo said with a frown.
He was an old man, experienced and knowledgeable, and was also a poet. His education level was very high, so he would not make a mistake in his judgment.
Azan said thoughtfully, "Maybe the Megalosaurus could …"
"Wait …"
Grazidan stepped forward and stared at Danzo. He asked in surprise, "You saw that woman's face?"
"I'm not blind. Of course I saw his face." Danzo was baffled.
"She did not wear a helmet?" asked Grazidan.
"What's wrong with her? It's late at night, and she's in her own tent. Why is she wearing a giant helmet?" Danzo was even more confused.
"Who's with her?"
"Red-haired Lara from the Rose Regiment and a few Unsullied."
"Sigh, the last time she negotiated with us, she was wearing a helmet. The Royal Guards and the Blood Alliance Guards were present. You might have met an actress with great acting skills." A great lord of Meelin lamented at the side.
He was one of the leaders of the ten-man alliance. He was as lucky as Grazidan and managed to escape back to Yuankai.
"This …" The poop man Ya Zan was stunned. "What a cunning mother of dragons."
The Ragged Prince rubbed his temples tiredly and asked, "What's with the extra fifty thousand people?"
The Mother Of Dragons was so good at commanding troops that she could take down Meelin in an instant. It seemed that the day she controlled Slave Bay was not far away.
He was afraid that he would never get the yellow silk cloak he was looking forward to.
To get Pentos, he would have to deal with the cunning Illyrio. But how would he convince the fat spice merchant?
How troublesome!
Grazidan did not immediately answer the question of the leader of the Wind Regiment. Instead, he flipped through the letters from Meelin.
Everyone's expression was heavy as they waited for the Think Tank's analysis. The palace was completely silent. Only the sound of Ya Zan flipping the paper and the intermittent "puchi … guji" from his butt could be heard.
"Forty-five great lords, seventy-eight great nobles, and great merchants all swore that the Mother Of Dragons brought an army of fifty thousand people to Meelin, and all of them were elites. They were not slaves in disguise."
Azan put down the letter and rubbed Sweetheart's thigh with his thick fingers. Sweetheart was shy, but she endured it in Silence.
"In the evening, when the Mother Of Dragons' army entered the city, there were even many people counting the torches. A total of forty-five thousand people entered the Great Pyramid.
Yes, the Mother Of Dragons personally took down the Great Pyramid of Meelin with three dragons and obtained countless food and gold. "
Originating from the old Guise Empire, Meelin, Yuankai, and Astapor each had the largest pyramid, called the Great Pyramid. It was the administrative and military center of the city.
For example, Mourinho was the leader of the people, the Great Sage, because the Daznak family controlled the Great Pyramid of Yuankai.
In terms of wealth, Mourinho Daznak was not even in the top three. He was not as rich as the God of War Graz 'dan.
"Since it has been confirmed that there are at least forty-five thousand people in Meelin, then outside our city …" Graz 'dan's thin face suddenly turned red as if he had been greatly humiliated. He shouted, "This is too much. There are not many people outside our city at all. The camp is empty!"
"Then what is the dense crowd that the spy saw?" Zidane was puzzled.
"The camp is fake. The Mother Of Dragons is also fake. Naturally, the soldiers inside may also be fake. This is an ingenious deception."
Azan's eyes flashed as if he had seen through all the mysteries. He said with certainty, "I am sure that among the three camps in front, middle, and back of the Mother Of Dragons, only the back camp 13 kilometers away is real. There may be siege weapons and thousands of guards hidden in it."
"Why do you say that?" Graz was puzzled.
"Do you think that the Mother Of Dragons is only satisfied with taking down Meelin?" Azan said lightly.
"Hiss …" Everyone was horrified.
Graz 'dan gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "So, she knows that after taking down Meelin, we will definitely receive news from the Great Lords. She knows that we will know the truth of her camp today.
She knows that her trick can't be hidden anymore. She simply withdrew her forces and moved all the power and siege weapons to the back camp.
So, even if we find out that we have fallen into a trap, we can't take down the back camp in a short time. When that woman brings food from Meelin, Yuan Kai will be finished. "
"What should we do now? That woman is too scary. She has almost calculated everything. "A fat young Lord was so aggrieved that he was about to cry." She has three Megalosaurus and more soldiers than us. Why doesn't she follow the tradition and fight us head-on and have a legendary siege battle?
She is stronger than us and is so smart. This is too much of a bully. How can we play this game? "
"Sigh, when the news of the battle in Slave Bay spread, Danny Rize will become a legend. And we will be fools who serve as a foil for the legendary hero.
When the story of the Dragon Queen is passed down through the ages, some of us will be laughed at countless times by the children who listen to their nannies talk about the past. A thousand years, ten thousand years, sigh! "Azan said dejectedly.
"Bam!"
Graz 'dan, who was destined to be one of those "some of us", slammed the table and roared with a twisted face, "No, I don't want to be a laughing stock. We have to do something."
"What can we do now? Wait for the Dragon Queen to surround us with 100,000 soldiers. With her power, it is too easy for her to recruit 50,000 slave soldiers in Meelin, "Azan said dejectedly.
"I want to vent. I want to vent my anger on the thousands of soldiers in her camp. I want to pull out the nail she left in Yuan Kai," Graz 'dan said as he stood up and walked out.
"Wait, it is too late now. Don't fall into that woman's ambush," the Great Virtuous Lord shouted.
Graz 'dan looked back at the frightened Virtuous Lords and mercenaries in the palace and said calmly, "If you fall into an ambush, then die in an ambush!"
"You —"
Graz 'dan raised his hand to interrupt the Great Virtuous Lord and said, "I will only bring the people of the Uraz Family out of the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away in big strides.
The Ragged Prince looked at his straight back and muttered, "He is a warrior."
"No, he is the War God Yuan Kai!" the Great Virtuous Lord said with a sorrowful expression.
"… Although this War God is unlucky to have met the Dragon Queen who shocked the world," Azan murmured.
He couldn't help but think of himself. Back then, the "Yuankai Twin Heroes" were so heroic and heroic … Now, one of them had become a paralyzed person who couldn't even urinate or defecate, while the other had become a War God who was always defeated.
Tragic, tragic, tragic …
Could it be that the heavens are jealous of the talents?
Azan thought in self-pity.
No one was in the mood to go home and sleep. They stayed in the Great Virtuous Lord's palace and prepared to send War God Graz 'dan off.
"Report —"
About three hours later, at around two o 'clock in the morning, a man in a yellow silk cloak covered in blood staggered into the hall. He panted heavily and said emotionally, "Report … report … Great Sage, Grazidan … the general … he …"
"Sigh, no need to say more. I understand." Mourinho, who was sitting at the oval conference table, waved his hand and interrupted the other party. "Help the general tidy up his appearance. I will see him tomorrow morning."
"Uh …" The man in the yellow silk cloak looked up and said in shock, "Great Virtuous Lord, what are you talking about?"
"What?" The Great Virtuous Lord was also stunned.
"Graz 'dan led 500 cavalrymen and wiped out thousands of enemies. He set fire to more than ten miles away, killed countless enemies, burned countless enemy supplies, and even saved 500 captives. Great Virtuous Lord, we have won a great victory! "
“.....”
“.....”
Everyone was dumbfounded as if they had seen a ghost.
After a while, the Ragged Prince came back to his senses and asked, "The enemy didn't set up an ambush?"
"Sigh, the enemy didn't have enough manpower to set up an ambush. I heard from Miss Meris that the Dragon Queen purposely used the Empty Fort Stratagem to scare us, "the man in the yellow silk cloak said with a smile.
"Meris was saved too?" Danzo was shocked.
The soldier said, "The captives were gagged and tied to the front camp as targets for the Empty Fort Stratagem. Not only were the mercenaries saved, but the hundreds of our brothers who were lost were also saved."
"Empty Fort Stratagem? What an Empty Fort Stratagem. Our army of tens of thousands was scared for three days. Three days that cost us our lives! "Azan smiled bitterly.
Although he still couldn't figure out how the enemy led an exhausted army of fifty thousand and traveled 250 kilometers in three days, he more or less understood how they lost the war.
"How did Meris know about the Mother Of Dragons' Empty Fort Stratagem?" the Ragged Prince asked.
"That Lila … A knight under the Mother Of Dragons told her. The other party thought that there was no need to hide this from the captives. Because they knew that the Mother Of Dragons would definitely win, there were even a dozen mercenaries who turned to the Mother Of Dragons on the spot! "
"I see." The Great Virtuous Lord nodded. He also understood what kind of people mercenaries were — always on the side of the victor.
The Mother Of Dragons used this method to recruit the captives was considered smart.
"What else did Meris say?" Danzo asked.
"Miss Meris said that the Empty Fort Stratagem was very clever. If we were smart enough, we would definitely fall for it and not dare to act rashly. However, the Empty Fort Stratagem is completely ineffective against boors and idiots," the man in the yellow silk cloak said proudly.
Great Virtuous Lord …
The Ragged Prince …
Azan …
