I Became the Mother of Dragons

     Before Dawn, the stars and moonlight disappeared. At this time, the sky was akin to charcoal. It was dark heavy and overwhelming.

It left the Great General breathless, he was about to push a major event for Yunkai's future.

—Come out before the Dawn!

He can't wait any longer, he is so hungry, how can his soldiers be any better?

And they can't kill their horses for food, lighting a fire would be suicide!

There are Dragons in the sky, and Dragons mean death!

It will last until tomorrow morning, not to mention whether the woman will come to attack them, most of the more than 1,000 sellswords in the team will defect and become enemies.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Grazdan can only do his best to fight.

As much as he can break through.

At least the whole army will not be wiped out, he can't ruin his army every time he leads his troops to fight, right?

In order to convince the Tattered Prince and other sellsword groups to fight with him, Grazdan promised that he would lead the charge with the yellow silk capes, and the sellswords only needed to follow the army and run wild on horses.

In a way, Grazdan saved the team, as red-haired Lyra had secretly met Denzo just two hours earlier.

Lyra told Denzo that the previous agreement was still valid, given that Windblown was indeed not contaminated with the blood of the Northern Expedition. If Windblown is willing to backstab the Ghis during the siege tomorrow morning, the Dragon Queen will also allow them to take the commission they received from Yunkai.

Of course, if Windblown puts up a desperate struggle, it will be destroyed, and the Mother of Dragons is not obligated to fulfill the agreement.

Under such a situation, Denzo and the Tattered Prince felt aggrieved, but in order not to be destroyed, they could only obey Dany's mercy.

Not long after, Zidan and the leaders of several small sellsword groups also found the Tattered Prince. They bluntly said: In order to survive, the Yunkai people must be given to the Mother of Dragons as a gift, thus we will rebel tomorrow morning.

Dany doesn't look down on those small sellsword groups but didn't send anyone to contact them. Zidan and the others follow the sellsword tradition of "it is known".

Looking at Zidan's newly sewn Guards flag – the Black Dragon flag on a red background, the Tattered Prince felt little, but his heart sighed in relief: he was going to find them, but they came by themselves...well come! I don't need to be stigmatized by betraying my employer. Zidan took the initiative to take over the blame!

In other words, if Grazdan doesn't break through the siege overnight and take the initiative to assume the responsibility of cannon fodder, he will probably be wiped out in the battle tomorrow morning.

The process of breaking through was far easier than Grazdan had expected. Only more than 300 cavalry died, so he broke through the trench defense circle, but not many people died when breaking through the enemy camp.

"Gods, we've just found the weakest point," Grazdan shouted high-spirited and vigorously as the night wind blew his face and the eastern sky turned indigo.

He didn't suspect a fraud, because the entire encirclement was two kilometers wide and three kilometers long, and even if the enemy had 60,000 people, it was impossible that every place was full of soldiers.

In other words, both the enemy and him know that the encirclement has more than one weak point.

If during the day, even if the Ghis cavalry were just rushing to the weak point, before they could break through the defensive belt of the trench, a large number of cavalry would immediately come and turn the weak point into a death grinder.

And at night…

"Boom…" A large number of cavalry did catch up, but it was too late.

"didn't expect to really breakthrough. After the Mother of Dragons got our promise, her vigilance dropped!" Denzo looked complicated, not knowing whether to be surprised or annoyed.

"Although Grazdan has always been defeated, he has lived up to the name of the Great General. He must have noticed the abnormality of the sellswords, and also keenly found that the troops of the Mother of Dragons were lax before Dawn.

An accurate grasp of the state of both the enemy and us allowed him to find a chance for victory.

He is not stupid, even with repeated defeats." The Tattered Prince sighed.

"The Dragon Queen also has Dragons! Dragons that can throw fire and oil, which is more terrifying than a Dragon that burns a city to flames." Caggo muttered loudly.

Denzo looked left and right and saw sellswords riding horses nearby, he asked: "Then what should we do now? The Mother of Dragons who signed a contract with us is real, and she also admitted that contract."

The Tattered Prince hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's go back to Yunkai, We have come all the way from the Disputed Lands to the west, and we have also seen the evaluation of the Mother of Dragons by the major city-states.

She is fighting most of the entire world.

Without cheap slave workers, the cost of big voyage trades would be almost five times higher, and even ten times more for some slave merchants.

How big is the conflict of interest?

Many maritime merchants would like to spend half of their property to join the 'Alliance against the Dragonmother', maybe in a few days sea ships will transport tens of thousands of troops to Yunkai for all we know."

When the indigo night sky was dyed with a few strands of dark red, Grazdan at the front finally came to the city gate.

"Who is the newcomer?" The torch rays of light boomed on the city gate tower, and a familiar explosion came from above.

"Is this city General Hyle? It's me!" Grazdan sighed in relief, listening to the voice, the person shouting at the city gate was the city gate Commander whom he personally arranged before the army left.

"Sou!" A torch dropped the city wall, the voice excitedly said: "Lord Grazdan? It's you? A messenger reported that you were trapped in…"

Grazdan interrupted him: "I pushed the enemy's weak point and led the army to break out…Hyle, open the door, wait for the soldiers to enter, and then talk, there are still pursuers behind!"

"Oh oh oh…" Hyle answered the promise again and again, then turned back and shouted: "Open the city gates! Go and inform the Grand Wise Master again, tell him that Great General Grazdan is back!"

"The boy was terrified yesterday afternoon," Grazdan said with a smile to a Wise Master beside him.

This Wise Master named Ozul, like Grazdan, has a black and thin face, a strong body, and slender limbs. He is a rare Wise Master general of Yunkai. Therefore, Grazdan chose him as a lieutenant.

"Not wrong, you are the backbone of Yunkai," Ozul complimented.

"Squeak…" The city gate opens to both sides, and you can see several yellow silk cloaks plugging torches on the city gateway stone wall.

Grazdan stood on the saddle, looked back, and said to the lieutenant without looking back: "Ozul, take someone in first."

"Are you worried about those sellswords?" Ozul was surprised.

"Hmph, otherwise why would I risk breaking through a siege overnight? There are three kinds of people in this world that are the most untrustworthy, bed slaves, sellswords whom roam around the world, and Westeros Lords." Grazdan dismissed.

"Why are there people from Westeros? Although the Mother of Dragons is cunning, doesn't she keep her word?" the lieutenant asked in confusion.

"I'm not talking about her, I speak of Tywin Lannister and…...hey don't fight, don't rush!"

As soon as the city gate opened, the cavalry seemed to be like a sheep being chased by an evil Dragon, they scrambled to get into the city gate. One of the cavalrymen was too eager and bumped into Grazdan's warhorse next to the city gate, almost knocking him off.

"Go in and keep order," Grazdan yelled at the lieutenant.

"The sellswords…"

Grazdan pointed to the long and thick Scorpion sticking out from the killing hole above, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, at the city gate there are countless bows and crossbows nearby, and the Dragons can't make trouble here."

"Oh, then I'll go to the Great Pyramid first. Alas, I have to figure out why we lost so badly this time. How many soldiers does that woman have." Ozul grumbled as he followed the soldiers into the city gateway.

Exiting the city gateway, the lieutenant watched the cavalry team in front converge on the plaza below the Great Pyramid, and shouted to the guards above: "Why not go back to the cavalry camp, what are you going to the Grand Plaza for?"

"The Grand Wise Master wants to reward the soldiers and boost morale." Hyle helplessly said above the tower.

"Ai, the Grand Wise Master has good intentions! With a leader like the Grand Wise Master, and a military backbone like the Great General, why can't the chaos of Dragons be quelled?!!" Ozul was filled with emotion!

Soon, more than 4,000 Ghis cavalrymen all entered the city gate, and the sellsword groups at the rear also poured in in order.

"What are Lord Wise Masters looking at?" the Tattered Prince asked Grazdan, who was looking at the footsteps.

"I'm afraid someone will be left behind." Grazdan coldly said.

Tattered Prince laughed angrily, "You—"

"Something's not right!" Denzo suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said with a graveness: "Prince, do you smell that?"

"Smell what?" Tattered Prince wondered.

"There is a smell of burning in the air." Denzo looked towards the city gateway, his eyes were full of horror, there was a sense of crisis like a beast had opened its jaw to attack!

"Burning…" Tattered Prince smelled the faint smell of burning in the sea breeze, and his expression changed. He is also a veteran who has been through war, and a great terror was born in his heart immediately!

"Go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Tattered Prince pulled the reins and rode toward the east, where a grey dawn had risen.

The soldiers on the city wall kept staring at the movement of the people below, and immediately shouted: "Shoot!" Immediately turn the direction and shoot frantically under the city gate. At the same time, a row of archers suddenly appeared on the city wall, shooting a dense rain of arrows at the crowd below.

"Ahhh…" With just one wave of attacks, the sellswords gathered at the entrance of the gate outside the city collapsed.

"Help, I don't want to die!!"

"Ahhh, we were betrayed by the Ghis! Damn slave dealers!"

"I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!"

There is also a Windblown cadre who knows something and shouts: "Ah, our plan to surrender to the Mother of Dragons was discovered by the Ghis! Run, Mother of Dragons! Dragons, help!"

Uh…

One can't blame the sellswords for their ignorance, in fact, this kind of thing has never happened in the Essos continent.

"Dismount, get down, surrender!" After two waves of attacks, the guards on the wall stopped attacking and shouted in unison.

"Dismount, get down, surrender!" Such shouts also sounded in the Grand Plaza all around the city.

As a torch suddenly ignited, the Ghis soldiers who were riding their horses waiting for the Grand Wise Master's reward, suddenly found that the square was full of Scorpions.

On the street, on the roof, and even on the big stone steps of the Great Pyramid's first layer, rows of iron crossbow arrows glinted with dim light under the torches.

"Sigh–" A Dragon chirp came from above their heads, which made the Ghis cavalry, who still had meager expectations, completely desperate: not a misunderstanding, nor a coup d'etat by the Wise Masters, but…

Yunkai is in the hands of the Mother of Dragons!

"Surrender and avoid death!"
