Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest.

Chapter 23 History, Truth

The east-to-west span of the continent of Essos is extremely large, and its true size is unknown, and no map can draw a complete picture of the continent.

It is precisely because the continent is too large that the world divides the continent into West Essos and East Essos with the Skeleton Mountains on the east side of the Dothraki Sea as the boundary.

Among them, only Siessos is really known to the world.

When talking about any history and culture of Siethos, the Valyrian Freedom Fortress can never be avoided.

It is the most advanced civilization known in the world, and its capital, Valyria, is the greatest city in the known world and the center of the civilized world.

The Valyrian Freehold was a slave city-state, sometimes called an empire for convenience, but it was neither a kingdom nor a monarchy, and those born free and landed had a say in ruling.

In fact, the empire is ruled by forty dragon king families who are extremely rich, noble, and powerful in magic and capable of controlling dragons.

Within the gleaming walls of the capital city of Valyria, forty rival families fought endlessly, viciously, bloodily and cruelly for power and glory.

All glory comes to an end, and the rise and fall of great powers is a common and not uncommon historical phenomenon.

The empire of blood and fire ended with blood and fire.

The Valyrian Doom, a catastrophe whose cause is unknown.

In an instant, the proudest city in the world ceased to exist, and the fantasy empire it built crumbled.

The only House of Dragonlords who managed to escape the Doomsday were the Targaryens.

Before the doomsday catastrophe came, they fled to the continent of Westeros on the other side of the Narrow Sea, where they lived for more than a century.

Until Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters rode dragons to conquer Westeros and started a dynasty that ruled for nearly 300 years.

After the apocalypse, the empire collapsed leaving a huge power vacuum, and its colonies and conquered lands gained independence.

Since then, the Sierussos continent has been in social turmoil for nearly a century, and has fallen into a melee of mutual attacks. History calls this period the bloody century.

The nomads from the east, the Dothraki invaded massively and were invincible. The Kingdom of Salor and other countries, colonies, and city-states were conquered and destroyed one after another.

At this time, Volantis, the first colony established by the Valyrians, proclaimed himself the heir to the empire, determined to conquer the world and rebuild the Freedom Fortress Empire.

But the conquest of the great cause was not halfway, and this move immediately caused a huge backlash.

In the water battle of Dagger Lake, Norvos and Qohor jointly defeated Volantis and destroyed its power in the upper reaches of the Lorne River. Riots rebelled against the rule in the conquered areas.

Various forces intervened in turn and participated in the war forcefully, causing Volantis to return in a big defeat. This costly, lengthy and failed military operation prompted a coup d'état within it, and the great cause of conquest came to a disastrous end.

All the way to the west, the invincible Dothraki also encountered the stubborn resistance of the Unsullied under the city of Qohor and suffered heavy losses.

With the defeat of Volantene and the first successful resistance of the Dothraki, the chaos of the bloody century gradually subsided, forming the current political situation of Siessos.

The mother of the Valyrian Empire left nine independent political bodies for the Eastern Continent, that is, the nine free cities, eight of which are descendants of the Valyrian colonizers.

Unlike the other Free Cities, Braavos was never part of the Valyrian Freehold.

Rather, they were city-states founded by refugees from Valyrian slavery when the Valyrian Empire existed.

About 800 years ago, slaves in charge of rowing in a Valyrian fleet launched an uprising. After they seized the fleet, they were unable to resist the rule of the empire, so they could only try to stay away from the influence of the Valyrians and flee north across the narrow sea. , and eventually came to the northwest corner of the mainland of Essos, an archipelago often hidden by dense fog and saltwater lagoons.

For the first century of Braavos's existence, its existence was unknown, until the masters of the fugitive slaves were dead, and they sent ships to invite all nations to Braavos to celebrate its 110th anniversary.

At the same time, represented by the Iron Treasury of the city-state bank, it started diplomacy with the Valyrian Freedom Fortress, and offered huge compensation to the empire to pay for the losses caused by taking the fleet back then.

But the Braavos refused to pay what their ancestors' slavery was worth, and the builders of the city paid their lives for freedom, and they swore that no one in Braavos would ever become a slave.

Opposing all forms of slavery is the first iron law of Braavos, and for this reason they have waged many wars with slavery city-states and their allies.

It was these battles that produced an invincible fleet, guarding their world-famous Purple Fleet, and eventually Braavos became the mysteriously powerful and wealthiest of the Free Cities, the wealth and influence of the Iron Bank known all over the world.

In the middle of the night, under the light of the fire, it looks like the lake pier in the inner city of Kohor in the daytime.

Dothraki horsemen and Unsullied surrounded the place, for the merchant ships at the docks were laden with the wealth of Qorhor's high nobles.

"Dear Kaa, please forgive me, you absolutely cannot accept the allegiance of this person in front of you, that is Braavos, the city of mystery, the illegitimate daughter of Valyria, the most special of the nine free trade cities. And the most powerful city-state."

The secret hidden behind the "truth" triggered a violent reaction from the affairs officer Ofer, who kept casting angry eyes on Aslan.

But Mungo turned a deaf ear, kept silent, and carefully studied the Valyrian steel sword in his hand expressionlessly.

Any Valyrian steel weapon is rare, and almost all of them have their own names or legends.

And Aslan presented him with a family heirloom, one of which was a Valyrian steel sword.

-

titled "Truth".

Its story is not only the legend of a person, or the biography of a sword.

Behind the "truth" lies the historical rise and fall of a thousand-year-old family.

After a moment of silence, Mongo finally spoke.

"It's really a good sword, but unfortunately it's too light to suit me."

He brandished the Valyrian steel sword in his hand, and commented loudly.

A deafening voice resounds through the lake,
Constantly intimidating and destroying Aslan's confidence, Meng Ge had a faint smile on his face, and he silently observed the exposed loneliness of the handsome mature boy's face, as well as the complex expression that changed repeatedly.

In this way, the lakeside fell into a silent silence.

After a long time, a gentle and vicissitudes of life voice suddenly came out from the darkness.

"Great Khal Mongo, Bas Potter salutes you, and I, along with Aslan, offer my loyalty to you."

Hearing the Blood Witch's self-reported name, Mungo's expression froze for a moment. He didn't expect that the person who had been hiding in the dark forest by the lake was Buzz Potter.

In fact, in the entire city of Kohor, he was the only person who made him most curious. He looked forward to seeing him. Before entering the city, he had issued two orders to the loyal Kosoro, giving priority to protecting the artisans and books in the city, and searching for blood. Wubas Potter.

Since the group of them came to the pier by the lake under the guidance of Aslan and seized the merchant ship, this person has been hiding there, but there is no way to escape Mungo's extraordinary vision.

When Aslan presented the treasure ship and Valyrian steel weapons, the Blood Witch looked at Mungo intently. This kind of scrutiny from behind made him think that this man was an assassin.

As Officer Ofer stood up and strongly opposed Aslan's allegiance, his eyes lingered on Aslan's body all the time, showing concern and regret in his deep affection, which was full of the affectionate love between father and son, master and apprentice.

Out of the importance he attached to Aslan, Mungo was also curious about the identity of this person, so he just cast the bait tentatively, but he caught a big fish unexpectedly.
