Around nine in the morning, the God of War Graz 'dan received authorization from the joint meeting of the Virtuous Lords and began to gather all the soldiers in the city.
At around eleven, Yuan Kai's soldiers had a sumptuous lunch and rested for half an hour. They left Yuan Kai's east gate at half-past twelve.
Meereen sent ten thousand yellow silk capes, ten thousand gladiator slaves, and two thousand members of the Wind Blowing Group.
Later, the Guise Alliance's fleet brought in a dozen unknown mercenary groups, adding another two thousand mercenaries.
As Yuan Kai Plains was scorched, countless slaves and farmers were killed, and a large number of manor owners moved into Yuan Kai.
The Virtuous Lord also took fifteen thousand Guise men from the manor owners' families and let them wear yellow silk capes.
In addition to the huge Alliance's fleet …
In his extreme state, Yuan Kai's forces were actually very strong. Under normal circumstances, the Guise Alliance Army was not afraid of sieging Dani.
At one in the afternoon, Graz 'dan led twenty-three thousand five hundred infantry and cavalry to the front camp entrance five kilometers away.
Without any delay, they stepped into the front camp, passed through the middle camp, and rushed to the rear camp ten kilometers away energetically.
"… Don't worry, they can't escape. I've already sent two thousand light cavalry to guard there." Graz 'dan smiled as he comforted the Ragged Prince.
"How can two thousand light cavalry stop one thousand five hundred Unsullied?" Danzo frowned.
For some reason, ever since he walked out of the city gate, he felt a sense of uneasiness. Even though the scouts at the front had reported many times that the rear camp was normal, with no ambushes or dragons, he still …
Suddenly, the Warrior Poet's gaze focused. He pointed to the trench on the left that stretched to the east and asked, "Did you notice that the trench on the left and right is a little strange? It seems to have widened?"
"Is it?" Graz 'dan looked around and smiled. "It's narrower, right?"
The Northern Liberation Army's camp was located five kilometers northeast of Yuan Kai. The front, middle, and rear camps continued for ten kilometers northeast. Based on the terrain, the width of the camps was not uniform.
If one was riding a dragon and looked down from above, Yuan Kai Plains would look like a black and green dinner plate. Black burnt farmland, green wilderness, and green forest.
In Yuankai City, there were meat buns on one side of the plate. In Danny's camp, there was a twisted fried dough stick on the other side.
A deep and wide gully was dug on both sides of the 'youtiao'. The yellow soil that was dug out piled up a one-meter-high slope on the outside. On the inside, there was a sparse wooden fence surrounding the camp.
"I'm talking about the distance between the ravines. The width of the camp has increased," Danzo said.
"The Mother Of Dragons built the camp according to the terrain, and the width has been changing all the time," the scarred man on the other side of the tall horse said indifferently.
His name was Kargo, and he was a tall, middle-aged man of mixed blood. He was a mix of Dothraki and Braavos. Like Danzo, he was also the deputy commander of the Windblown Gang. One of them was a scholar, while the other was a warrior. Together, they assisted the Ragged Prince.
"But …" Danzo's face flushed red, but he did not know what to say. In truth, he did not know what he was trying to say.
After a while he muttered, "We ought to fill in those two ditches."
"Sigh, have you gone senile? That's a huge project. We'll need the entire army, but where do we have the time? The army didn't even bring any rations. The Virtuous Lord still wants to go back to the city for dinner! "Kargo said impatiently.
"A huge project!" Danzo's mind seemed to explode four times. He was in a daze.
"There's a problem. There's a problem with the ravines outside the camp!" he shouted like he had gone mad.
"What's the problem?" The Ragged Prince was alarmed. He leaned over and asked.
"There are only about four thousand people in the rear camp. How did they dig such a long and deep ravine?" the old general said with a face full of fear.
"Oh, this …" a mercenary beside him said awkwardly, "We dug it."
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
"Lucifer Lang, what do you mean?" Danzo asked hurriedly.
The mercenary named Lucifer was in his forties. He was muscular and wore armor similar to Jorah Mormont's.
Yes, he obtained the armor before You Lun Valleglia's armor.
He was a knight in heavy armor.
The knight scratched his bald head and smiled bitterly. "After we were captured, other than Marese, all the other mercenaries and Guise soldiers were forced to dig the ravines overnight.
I told the supervisor that I'm also from the Westeros like Marese, and I'm a baron from the North, but … "
Danzo interrupted him impatiently. "Are you sure you 900 people only used two days to dig a ravine more than twenty kilometers wide?"
"We weren't the only ones digging. The Mother Of Dragons had tens of thousands of people digging with us. They finished more than half of the project in the middle of the night. The rest was handed over to our captives."
"That doesn't make sense. Aren't the Mother Of Dragons' soldiers tired? They just finished a rapid march of six hundred kilometers, worked hard for half the night, and continued to rush to Meereen the next morning … Are they all made of iron? "Danzo was confused.
The Ragged Prince pointed at Grazidan, who was loudly giving orders to the soldiers not far away, and said lightly, "Danzo, go to the flank and adjust the formation of the shield bearers and archers. When the slave infantrymen at the rear arrive, immediately launch an attack."
"This …" Danzo was stunned. He stopped the knight from the North who was leaving and asked, "It's common sense to dig a ravine outside the camp, but it's usually a small canal to prevent the camp from accumulating water in the storm.
The Mother Of Dragons' ravine is almost as wide as a stream. Why? "
"Hey, are you confused? Other than dredging rainwater, the ravine also serves as a defense against the enemy. You'll understand when you see it. It's not only wide, it's also very deep. "Lucifer said casually.
This made sense. Danzo smiled bitterly and waved his hand to let the knight leave.
"Old, or scared by the Mother Of Dragons?" Danzo muttered to himself and began to command the army to get into formation.
At around two-thirty in the afternoon, Yuan Kai's army got into formation. On the ground more than a kilometer wide, ten thousand gladiators were in front. They only had a leather vest, a short sword, and a wooden shield.
A thousand shield bearers were behind the gladiators, followed by a thousand spearmen. Four thousand soldiers in yellow silk cloaks had scimitars at their waists and longbows in their hands.
There were six thousand light and heavy cavalry on both sides.
The reason why Grazidan dared to boast that he could take down the rear camp in half a day was because of the ten thousand gladiators that were escorted from Meereen.
He planned to use them as cannon fodder.
Obviously, when the news of the Mother Of Dragons liberating Meereen came, the gladiator slaves would become the biggest unstable factor in Yuan Kai's army. It was better to "recycle" them.
"Untie the shackles of the gladiators." Grazidan, who was dressed in silver armor, shouted.
Oh, I have to explain here. When the slave soldiers went to the battlefield, they also had to wear shackles.
But as the Dragon Queen and Danny's reputation as the "Liberator of the Slaves" became more and more famous, the Wise Lord was afraid that the gladiators would betray him. So, he chained the five gladiators together. The two ends of the shackles were locked on the left leg of one gladiator and the right leg of another gladiator.
In this way, the ten thousand slaves could be chained together. They could not escape even if they wanted to.
Of course, if they were chained together, they would not be able to fight.
In a battle to defend the city, the slaves needed to hold on and not run away. Therefore, chaining the five gladiators together increased the stability.
But now, they were not defending the city. Grazidan needed them to rush forward and display the gladiators' individual combat ability. So, he needed to reduce their burden.
Oh, with only one leg dragging the shackles, they could use footwork skills in a small area, but they could not run for long.
500 meters in front of the gate of the rear camp, Grazidan rode on a red horse and looked down at the gladiators who were squatting on the ground and rubbing their ankles. He shouted, "If you win today's battle, each of you will get a barrel of wine, five pounds of meat, and two bed slaves!"
Uh, he could not promise the gladiators freedom. Otherwise, why would the Guise Alliance and the Dragon Queen fight to the death?
The gladiators ignored Grazidan's words and focused on warming up.
Seeing that his words did not have any effect, Grazidan frowned and shouted again, "An Unsullied's head, 50 Gold Radiance Coins. An ordinary soldier, 10 Silver Radiance Coins.
As long as you survive, even if you are not beheaded, each of you will get at least five Silver Radiance Coins. "
This time, the gladiators reacted. They raised their heads and stared at the Wise Lord.
"I swear! I will fulfill my promise. "Grazidan pulled out the scimitar at his waist and swore.
"Bam, bam, bam …"
The ten thousand slaves slapped the shields in their hands and shouted, "Long live the Wise Lord! Long live the God of War Grazidan!"
The excited gladiators seemed to have forgotten that the person they were about to face was the person who was trying to save them …
"Prince, why?" Looking at the slaves who were gradually going crazy, Danzo quietly asked his captain.
Although it was a little abrupt, the Prince of Ragged Clothes understood his old partner too well.
A cold glint flashed across the gray-haired old man's eyes. He said coldly, "Because that woman lied to me. The person who signed the contract with you was not Danny Liz Targaryen. Tell me, does that contract still have any meaning? "
Danzo was speechless.
The Prince of Ragged Clothes understood him, and he understood the old captain's personality very well.
He could not stand people lying to him.
"Ho ho — Thud thud!"
"Ho ho — Thud thud!"
The ten thousand gladiators bent their backs and approached the camp step by step. Every time they shouted, they would swing their short swords and hit their shields twice.
The Unsullied behind the fence of the camp were in a neat formation. They did not react to the gladiator slaves' provocation.
When the gladiators were fifty meters away from the camp, Grazidan waved his hand and roared, "Kill —"
"Thud thud thud thud …" The sound of war drums echoed throughout the camp.
"Creak —" At the moment when the twenty thousand warriors were at their climax, the gate of the camp suddenly opened.
Under everyone's gaze, the Unsullied in the front row behind the gate moved to the left and right …
"Hiss —" A ferocious black dragon crawled up from the ground and roared at the sky.
Grazidan …
The Prince of Ragged Clothes …
Ten thousand gladiator slaves …
"Heh, heh, heh …" The gladiators closest to the gate made meaningless sounds. In the end, they roared as if they had a mental breakdown, "Dragon! Mother Of Dragons! "
"Thud thud thud …" Blackie walked with heavy steps. Every step he took rumbled as he walked toward the gladiators who were standing there in a daze.
"Mother Of Dragons … It's true, she —" Danzo's eyes widened. He stared at the silver-haired woman on the black dragon's back in a daze.
There was no doubt that the only person who could control a black dragon was the Dragon Queen.
She was the queen they saw two nights ago!
Under the sunlight, her silver-blonde hair was so dazzling. They could even see the sly smile on the girl's face. It was as if she was asking, "Are you surprised to see me?"
"She … has been waiting for us … to leave the city!" In the scorching afternoon, the Prince of Ragged Clothes broke out in cold sweat.
"I …" The God of War Grazidan wanted to cry. "F * ck!"
