The morning of the second day.
It was sunny with a cool northern wind.
The golden light of the rising sun dispersed the cold white fog that shrouded Meereen, revealing a flat black land that was about to be stained with blood.
"Woo —" The first horn sounded at the entrance of the alliance's simple camp.
"Woo woo woo —" The sound of the horn rose and fell in the camp. The soldiers hurriedly finished the last piece of toast wrapped in fried bacon, extinguished the bonfire in front of them, wiped their mouths, picked up the spears, swords, or shields under their buttocks, and ran to their respective teams.
"Woo woo woo —" The urgent horn sounded above Meereen City, warning the defenders in the city that the densely packed alliance soldiers were approaching the city gate.
The battle was about to begin!
At the same time, 500 meters south of Meereen City and 50 meters deep, in a tunnel as wide as a subway tunnel in the city, thousands of torches crackled and burned, casting a hot and dirty red light in the continuous darkness.
The dwarf released his right hand that was holding the crossbow, pulled over a corner of his cloak, and rubbed his sweaty hands on it. His hand that was about to reach the crossbow changed direction halfway, lifted his helmet, and opened his mouth to take a few deep breaths.
"Cough cough cough …" After taking a deep breath, he inhaled a belly full of thick smoke from the burning whale oil torches. The dwarf bent over and coughed violently, tears and snot flowing down his face.
"I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. You know fear when you're about to enter the battlefield?" The long-nosed king on the giant elephant next to him scolded in a low voice.
"I'm not afraid —" Just as he argued, the dwarf smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Okay, I'm afraid. Who knows what's waiting for us above ground."
Hearing this, the long-nosed king was silent.
Since the Dragon Queen had already discovered the location of the tunnel, it was impossible for her not to be prepared.
So, what would be waiting for them?
Looking at the orderly formation of elephant soldiers in front of him, the long-nosed king said faintly, "A lot of people will die later, but we're at the back of the team, so it's not a big problem."
"Okay, we'll try to hide at the back." The dwarf looked back at the dark tunnel and let out a long sigh of relief. He said to the attendant in front of him, "Cadillac, take a few steps back."
The attendant had blond hair and blue eyes. He was in his early twenties and was about 1.6 meters tall. His long, freckled face took up about 25 centimeters of his height.
"Sir, we're already at the back of the group," the horse-faced attendant said blankly.
The dwarf held the crossbow in his right hand again. His single eye swept over the new father beside him for a moment, and he emphasized, "Take a few more steps back. There's smoke and fire in front of me, and I can't breathe properly."
"Oh!"
"Boom!" Suddenly, an earth-shattering sound came from the front.
What followed was a beastly roar that sounded like a steam whistle. "Roar —"
— — The battle had begun, and Jenny was controlling the Dragonworm to dig through the ground.
"Woo woo woo —" The sound of the bugle horn came from the front of the troops.
The elephants had been fed with magic potions in Mataris, so they were almost immune to the pressure of the Megalosaurus. Even if the dragonworms were right in front of them, they would still run slowly under the control of their riders.
"Leo, follow me closely!" King Long Nose shouted and began to jog on his elephant.
"Cadillac, you are my servant. You should listen to me in everything. I promise you a bright future, do you understand?" the dwarf whispered to his driver.
As soon as they entered the cave, Cadillac became his attendant. After spending many days with him, the dwarf was confident that he had already subdued Cadillac's heart, just like how he had subdued Cadillac and Boldrick.
"I'll do whatever you tell me to do." The horse-faced young man nodded.
"Phew …" Heaving a long sigh, the dwarf skillfully picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the heart of his new father's back under Cadillac's horrified gaze.
"Boom — Buzz —"
Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and a muffled sound seemed to come from the depths of the earth.
It was as if someone had plucked the C string of a cello from the center of the earth. It was low, long, and layered.
"What happened? Could it be an earthquake? "The dwarf no longer cared about killing his father. He held onto the saddle and looked around in shock.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"The river is rising! Flood! The flood is coming! Ah, it's dark, it's dark! "An elephant soldier screamed crazily.
"What flood? What dark?" The dwarf at the back could not hear clearly and shouted, "What happened outside? What did Dragon Queen do? "
.....
The blazing white sun rose into the sky, covering the city and the earth with a warm golden veil. The blue sky was clear and cloudless. Five Megalosaurus, black, green, white, gold, and red, soared freely in the sky. They were unusually bright and adorned the sky.
The four older Megalosaurus were draped in full armor made of steel. They reflected a blinding white light under the sun. Only Little Red, which was the size of a small pony, was still naked.
One could vaguely see the blue-and-white armored Dragon Queen standing proudly on the back of the black dragon. She had a bright white greatsword in her left hand and a dark red broadsword in her right.
She was ready to go, eager to give it a try.
On the vast and barren black earth, soldiers in armor of various colors were like ants. They formed a curtain, slowly but firmly covering the city of Meereen ahead.
On the city wall, the Unsullied Ones in grayish-brown armor raised their white flags. Their short swords were unsheathed and their shields were raised. The Wings of Freedom with their black winged cloaks formed a huge crossbow formation under the city wall. The longbowmen were at the front, the ballistas were loaded, and the catapults were loaded with kerosene.
There were also dozens of pterosaurs that landed on the huge pyramid like a swarm of bats.
The bugle horn sounded, the war drums beat, hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted, the armor of the armored warriors clashed as they ran, and the cavalry's hooves rumbled …
The smell of blood and fire pervaded the city of Meereen.
The birds in the distant mountains, the dogs in the city, and the fish in the water were all inexplicably anxious at this moment.
"Boom! Boom!" In the south of Meereen, the huge city wall that was 15 meters tall and 5 meters thick suddenly collapsed, sinking into the endless ground.
Three dragon worms drilled half of their bodies out from behind the city wall and roared ferociously toward the city.
Jenny fulfilled her promise. Not only did she break the city gate, she even destroyed a section of the city wall that was 30 meters long. The dragon worms even successfully broke into the city.
"Rumble!" The sound of heavy objects running came from the ground.
"Ang!"
It was a giant elephant!
The first elephant soldier rushed out of the tunnel and entered the south of Meereen. It raised its trunk and roared on the street.
"Ang!"
"Ang!"
One after another, the giant elephants rampaged through the streets. They were invincible. Uh, literally, half of the South City was empty. There were no guards or citizens. The giant elephants were showing off their prowess, so naturally, they were invincible.
"Break into Meereen City and capture the Dragon Queen alive!" The elephant soldiers in the south of the city did not feel anything and shouted excitedly.
"Victory, victory!" The howls of the giant elephants and dragon worms spread to the north of the city. Tens of thousands of alliance soldiers roared fanatically.
"Hiss!" The black dragons in the sky roared.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss —"
The pterosaurs that landed on the pyramid took off collectively, carrying the deadly spears and boxes, and flew to the south of the city.
"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!"
As soon as the pterosaurs left, four giant mounds 30 meters apart suddenly bulged out of the flat soil in the north of the city. The mounds moved toward the city walls of Meereen City at the speed of a normal person running.
That scene was a bit like the ninjas in Tsui Ke's wuxia movies. The only difference was that the ninjas walked in a straight line, and after they escaped, the mounds would cave in.
But the dragon worms were different. They emitted scorching heat all over their bodies. Wherever they burrowed, large patches of scorched water vapor evaporated. The mounds that they raised also kept protruding, forming four S-shaped "ridges" on the flat battlefield.
Because the dragon worm mounds appeared suddenly and spread very quickly, many alliance soldiers could not react in time and were lifted up high.
It was fine if they were lifted up. At most, they would lose their balance and fall to the ground.
But the reason why the dragon worms did not burrow deep and instead moved stealthily on the surface was because there were many paddy fields in the north of the city. If they burrowed too deep, they would be submerged by the underground water.
And the dragon worms' body temperature was very high. They emitted waves of heat all over their bodies. The blazing magic roasted the moist soft soil and evaporated a large amount of white water vapor mixed with a scorched smell.
Yes, the eels, loaches, black fish, and insects in the paddy fields were all wrapped in mud and roasted into charcoal.
The soldiers around the mounds seemed to have been sprayed by a giant pressure cooker at close range. They all covered their scalded faces and wailed on the ground.
Coincidentally, the Windblown Regiment, who was holding the blue and white cross tail flag high, happened to be hit by a dragon worm.
The white-haired and white-bearded warrior poet, Danzo Dehan, was leading his brothers in a head-covering charge. Suddenly, his body rose up, his footsteps staggered, and he fell on the bulging mounds.
Then, the temperature of the soft mud under his body rose. In an instant, the dry and hard boards turned into lumps and then split open. It was like the valve of a high-pressure boiler that had been blocked before suddenly opened at this moment.
A large amount of scorching water vapor spurted out from the cracks of the soil and enveloped Danzo's body.
His armor and helmet blocked 99% of the water vapor, but Babuta's helmet also had eye slits. A pair of eyes were boiled and steamed in the water vapor.
Danzo was still a general and had high defense. The other soldiers who were only wearing leather armor had their skin red and blisters popped by their hands. They were like steamed prawns that had been trampled on. The scene was very miserable.
But it was also very morale-boosting.
Although some of their teammates were accidentally injured, the momentum of the dragon worms' "Earth Escape" was terrifying. Like four giant torpedoes, they quickly crashed into the "aircraft carrier" of Meereen.
The allied soldiers shouted in unison, "Long live the dragon worms, break Meereen!"
"You are stubborn, you will be punished by the heavens!" Big Black roared.
The allied army was silent for a moment, then shouted loudly again, "Long live the allied army, break Meereen, capture Danny Rize alive!"
"Boom boom boom —"
Gradually, some people heard what seemed to be thunder coming from the east. It also sounded like thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping along the river toward the battlefield.
"Boom —" Before the four dragon worms reached the city walls of Meereen, the embankment two kilometers east of the city suddenly collapsed, as if there was a dragon worm burrowing a hole there.
"Moo —" At the collapsed embankment, a black shadow like a huge mountain slowly floated up. Water plants and sand covered its appearance. Only a carefree cry like that of a bull could be heard.
"Hualalala —" Like the Milky Way falling from the Ninth Heaven, a waterfall-like flood gushed out from under the "huge mountain," endlessly, one after another.
Under the sun, the surging water flashed with a sparkling color. Above the head of the "huge mountain," a seven-colored rainbow hung.
"Boom boom boom!" The water flow was too fast, and there was too much water. What poured out from the embankment was not a flood, but a tsunami.
In an instant, the Meereen battlefield seemed to have been paused. All the soldiers, whether they were the allied army or the guards of the Mother Of Dragons, were dumbfounded. Their hands that were holding their weapons dropped, and they looked up at the surging waves.
It was as if all they could see was sparkling water. The allied soldiers below the city were like snot in a toilet bowl, suddenly swept into the rushing flood, leaving no trace behind.
Jenny, who was hiding on the hill watching the battle, was livid. Her eyes were spitting fire as she looked at the "huge mountain" floating in the flood. A name almost jumped out of her mouth, "Old — man — of — the — river!"
