Blood of the True Dragon

Chapter 42 Meereen
Aegon's Unsullied army combined with pirate soldiers defeated the free army of New Ghis.

The latter's remnant army fled back in a panic, only to find that their home had been stolen, so they could only organize their troops and rush to Meereen.

After Aegon sent three thousand Unsullied to the island of New Ghis, he returned to Yunkai with the newly surrendered pirate army and a thousand Unsullied.

Only a few hundred Unsullied were left to maintain order in Astapor.

The biggest problem after taking Slave Bay now is that it may encounter attacks from other free trade city-states.

New Ghis Island is guarded at this key point, and it must be defended. As for Astapor, which is in the middle, its strategic position is obviously not as good as that of New Ghis.

Ten days later, Aegon came to Yunkai with a large army and some food.

The order in Yunkai has been restored, and after receiving the news, Daenerys also rushed to the gate of the city to wait for Aegon.

After seeing Aegon returned safely, Daenerys let go of a hanging heart.

"Okay, didn't I come back alive?" Aegon smiled while hugging Daenerys.

Daenerys blushed and let go of her hand when she heard this.

Missandei stood behind Daenerys and kept looking around to see her brother Missandei.

Seeing this, Aegon comforted him, "Missander stayed in Astapor, where he was responsible for the order of Astapor. Don't worry, he's fine!"

Only then did Missandei feel relieved: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that during the time you went back, Her Highness Daenerys managed Yunkai very well, and even resolved the food crisis perfectly!"

Seeing that Aegon and Daenerys had finished hugging each other, Jon Connington ran over and urged him.

Now he felt more and more that Aegon and Daenerys were the most suitable couple.

And he will assist Rhaegar's son to regain the Iron Throne!
"Oh? Really? Danny, you really didn't disappoint me! Tell me how you solved the money!"

Daenerys raised her small head and finished her plan quite proudly.

Aegon smiled and touched his fake aunt's head and praised: "Sure enough, you did a good job, but you can't be so kind to these profiteers, otherwise they might dare to hoard goods like this in the future!

Sir Jon, arrest all the grain merchants who took the lead in hoarding grain this time, and behead them all in the Pyramid Square for public display! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

After dealing with these basic affairs of Yunkai, Aegon called several people into the conference room, preparing to attack Meereen with the whole army.

"The city of Meereen is twice the size of Yunkai, Your Majesty, I think we need to prepare before considering continuing to attack Meereen!" Jon Connington suggested.

"What do you think?"

Jorah Mormont retorted: "Your Majesty, I think we should take advantage of the situation and attack Meereen directly!"

"But the walls of Meereen are extremely tall, and we still have 5000 Unsullied in New Ghis, and now there are only more than [-] Unsullied!"

"Those slave owners in Meereen will definitely be frightened by us!"

"But they still have the remnants of New Ghis!"

"All right!"

Aegon directly interrupted the argument between the two.

"I have already decided to attack Meereen directly after organizing the army!"

"Your Majesty, the defenders of Meereen can defend the city, which will cause great losses to our army. If we don't have these Unsullied troops, we will lose a lot when we return to Westeros. rely!"

Jon Connington's most important goal is to return to Westeros, and now that it has been so smooth, he doesn't want to make mistakes halfway.

If he could, he would have preferred Aegon to go back now with the army directly.

"The walls of Meereen are tall, but they are guarded by slave soldiers, those who hold the gates are also slave soldiers, and those who transport supplies are also slave soldiers, so they are doomed to lose this battle from the very beginning!
And I will take Meereen for the least cost! "

"Okay! I'll go to the army!" Jon Clinton replied.

Now that Aegon had made up his mind, it was not easy for him to refute.

Although he felt sorry for the army of the Unsullied, he had no worries about taking Meereen.

……

Five days later, Aegon led the army of four thousand Unsullied and the descendants finally arrived at the city of Meereen.

Meereen's walls are made of brick like her sister cities Yunkai and Astapor, though Meereen's bricks are many colors instead of just yellow or red.

Moreover, the walls of Meereen are thick and well repaired, and there are defense towers at every corner, and there are bronze harpy heads on the walls that can spray boiling oil on the enemy.

Behind the wall, a gigantic pyramid pointed to the sky, a colossal eight-hundred-foot-tall thing with a towering bronze harpy on top.

"Your Majesty, shall we let these surrendered mercenaries go first with the pirates?"

Looking at the tall city wall, Jon Connington whispered a suggestion.

In his opinion, these surrendered soldiers are not of the same kind as mine, and it would be better to consume some of them earlier.

"Don't attack the city yet!" Aegon shook his head, "Get ready for the trebuchet, and throw the collars of the slaves and our declaration of liberating Meereen into it!"

"Those slaves may not know how to read!" Jorah Mormont laughed while leaning on his cane.

"Haha, I don't need them to read, I just need these slave owners to be scared when they see it, and those collars have already explained the problem!"

"Your Majesty, you are indeed Prince Rhaegar's child!"

Just as Aegon was making specific arrangements for the attack, the gates of Meereen opened.

A knight came out of the city gate, wearing scale armor of brass and black jade, and riding a white horse. The color of the horse armor was pink and white stripes, which matched the silk cloak on the hero's shoulders.

Armed with a fourteen-foot pink-and-white corkscrew lance, his oiled hair combed into two gigantic curving horns, he galloped up and down the painted brick walls, challenging Aegon to send a brave man forward to meet him. male and female.

The pirates and mercenaries shouted frantically, wanting to go forward to a duel with each other.

"Your Majesty, should I go?" Jon Connington pressed the long sword in his hand.

He didn't worry about letting these pirates or mercenaries play, if they lost, it would do a lot of damage to morale!

"No! Just send Belwas, isn't he the strongest warrior in Meereen?"
