I Became the Mother of Dragons

Chapter 164



     "After the news of the fall of Meereen reaches Yunkai, you should have had the thought to go straight to me, after all, we had a contract.

Even if your leader has unrealistic fantasies, I wanted to take one last gamble, but after more than 20,000 steps of riding outside the city and being ambushed by me, the illusion should have been shattered.

My expectations were not high, and Windblown attacked the Ghis people. Help me take down Yunkai, and then you leave with the commission promised by the Ghis, and a promise from me.

To be honest, I really can't guess what your leader is thinking." Dany shook her head helplessly.

Windblown, who has 2,000 people, is qualified to negotiate with her, that's right.

But two thousand sellswords can't change the entire battlefield situation, and the price she gave is absolutely fair.

"Grazdan suddenly wants to pull us out of the siege, disrupting the regiment leader's plan." Denzo sighed.

"Okay, even if the plan is disrupted, but the Ghis people have all entered the city, even if you find out that the plan is in, why do you need to escape?

You know how many died the night before yesterday, right?

Because of your sudden escape the sellswords, in turmoil, killed nearly 800 people. Windblown accounted for 90% of the death toll, and only one Ghis died, yes, only one Wise Master!" Dany taunted.

"No, impossible!" Caggo struggled yellowed.

"What's impossible about this? The Ghis people are already surrounded and can't escape. The rioters are all from Windblown. Even if I don't have any ill will towards Windblown, I have no choice in that case!" Dany shouted!

"It's me, I…I killed those." Denzo's voice trembled, his dirty old face running through two clear streaks of tears.

"Why didn't you slaughter the sellswords who got into the trap?" Caggo asked Dany wickedly.

He was extremely unbalanced. Obviously Windblown successfully discovered this woman's tricks, but it was they who lost the most.

This is not fair!

If…if this woman killed all the Ghis cavalry that entered the city, then their escape would only make sense!

"Heh, in your mind, what kind of person am I? Kill monsters for pleasure? Isn't it bad for sellswords to keep them for ransom? Ghis soldiers are reduced to laborers, grow wheat for me, so Isn't the bread that comes out better?"

"Ai, our pride has caused Windblown's destruction! Maybe deep in our hearts, we always thought that Your Majesty would inevitably fail, losers are not worthy of attention, and more so our trust.

Subconsciously, we even arrogantly believed that we could determine the success or failure of Your Majesty…" Denzo smiled bitterly.

He now thinks beyond the game, looking at Windblown's actions these days as a bystander, and suddenly discovers a very terrifying thing: The Dragon Queen has three Dragons and more than 10,000 Unsullied, There are tens of thousands of Mother of Dragons guards who have been trained for half a year, and she herself has wisdom beyond standard. Since she was born, she had been undefeated in battle… But whether it is the head of the regiment or the cadres in the regiment, they all underestimated her and thought that she was just a girl with dumb luck.

Not stupid, thinking about liberating the slave? Isn't she stupid, she will be against the whole world for those who have nothing to do with her. Not stupid, she will lead 50,000 soldiers to attack Yunkai long distance.

Almost everyone is saying: that Dragon Queen is a pity, even if she can win countless times, she will have a miserable ending sooner or later.

The problem is, that people have always been the winners, and Windblown is not qualified to despise a Giant who is taller, smarter, and stronger than them.

The Giant's every kindness is subconsciously regarded as weakness.

She didn't make her position clear!

"If we don't mean anything to you, why send Dothraki to hunt us down? Couldn't we have just left!?" Caggo glared at the 'weak' Denzo and angrily roared at Dany.

Dany despised him like an idiot and said: "You have something wrong with your head, a group of remnants are wandering in the heart of my territory, can I let it go? In case you raid my manor and slaughter my people, who am I going to talk to?"

"We just want to get out of this shithole right now," Caggo yelled.

"Then tell me, if you don't tell me, how do I know what you think? Looking at the performance of Windblown, I thought you were all part of a Ghis Suicide Squad, seeing as you want to clash with me at every turn!"

"Your Majesty, can you answer a few questions for me so I can understand how I lost the war?" Denzo looked at Dany wistfully as he interjected.

These words can be regarded as irritating to her. After success, not blowing a wave of cowhide is like being rich and not returning home.

"Heh, let's see, there are some strategies I wanted to try a few more times." Dany raised her chin slightly and said reservedly.

"The soldiers Your Majesty brought to Meereen were at most thousands of elite cavalry, so why does almost all of Meereen think you brought 50,000 troops? And many saw it with their own eyes," Denzo asked.

"I liberated a lot of slaves along the way, and the soldiers were new recruits." Dany was half telling the truth.

In less than three days, it is extremely difficult to cross the 250-kilometer road. How can there be time to liberate 50,000 slaves?

The real reason is very simple. When Dany took Meereen, it was almost dusk, and the fifty thousand cavalry outside the city was just an illusion created by thousands of slaves riding horses and dragging branches.

As for the fifty thousand soldiers who carried torches into the city after dark…

Dany learned from history.

A thousand elites hold torches and enter the city from the east gate so that all Ghis people in the east city can see.

The city's north, which has no tall buildings, has long been under martial law, and another thousand people smeared and sneaked out of the city through the north city gate. After dozens of cycles, there were 50,000 elite soldiers.

The Meereen Great Masters were so frightened that they didn't leave their pyramids at all, giving Dany valuable time to expand the Mother of Dragons' escort.

Denzo didn't know whether to believe it or not, and continued to ask: "How did Your Majesty hide the traces of the army's actions?"

"Send a scout to clean up the road."

Denzo smiled wryly, This is obvious lying, and people with a little common sense will not believe it.

But people have said it in advance, and there will be reservations…

"I now understand that you left almost 40,000 infantry in Yunkai. The 1,500 Unsullied in the rear battalion is just bait to lure us into sending troops.

But the rear battalion is not a real ambush point, because there are too many soldiers, and the rear battalion cannot hide it. It may also be that you want to reduce losses, so the allied troops were separated from the cavalry and defeated separately.

There is no doubt that the real lore is in the ruined former battalion – we totally didn't expect, after all, we just left the former battalion to come here.

The cavalry battalion had no infantry protection and ran back and forth for nearly 20 kilometers. The horses had no impact and could only be trapped to death.

The rear battalion was only a few thousand cavalry. Really, the infantry lined up in the ravines on both sides of the camp was just a pretense.

There may be no one in the back row at all, and as for the rumbling of horses' hooves in the rear, it's just dozens of Dothraki pushing the horses to run.

Oh, there's a branch behind the horse's tail – the Ghis saw it and told us when he joined us on the second day."

Dany nodded and said with a smile: "You guessed right. I don't want to make such trouble, but as you said, there are too many soldiers for 40,000 soldiers to hide in the rear camp."

Denzo's eyes flashed back and forth from the scenery to her and asked. : "The key is, where did you hide the nearly 40,000 soldiers in ambush?"

As he said before, the Ghis people are not stupid. The nearby thirty kilometers from the site had been scouted.

Maybe the 3,000 cavalry led by Dany and the thousands of civilians disguised as the main force could be squeezed into the rear battalion, but where did the 40,000 infantrymen who set up the real ambush points in the front battalion come from?

If Dany's 40,000 infantry were hiding 30 kilometers away, it would never have been too late to stop the fleeing cavalry.

Under normal circumstances, 30 kilometers is enough for a large army to travel for a day or two!

Dany spit out two words harshly: "Emerald Lake!"

"Emerald Lake?!" Denzo and Caggo's expressions changed wildly, both relieved and shocked.

Five kilometers north of Yunkai, there is a beautiful lake, like an Emerald embedded in the earth, so it is called "Emerald Lake" by the Yunkai people.

The Ghis nobles often take their families there for outings, boating, lake tours, and hunting in the nearby forest.

But in order to kill the Dragon Queen with fifty thousand armies and three Dragons, the Yunkai Wise Masters sank ten thousand slave corpses in Emerald Lake.

Manors on the Yunkai Great Plains were burned, and wells within 20 kilometers of Yunkai's suburbs were blocked.

50,000 troops ran 600 kilometers and were exhausted. Even if ordinary generals suspected that there was a problem with Emerald Lake, they would be careful and vigilant while fetching water from the lake.

——The Ghis people also deliberately threw a lot of horse dung and sewage into the lake, which means "we have polluted the water source" and can hide the real killing move – 10,000 dead bodies.

In the end, stuffing corpses into a lake to cause disease is also the first time for this world—the ruthless original tactic of the Grand Wise Master.

And there is a process of decay of the corpse. At the beginning of half a month, the lake's surface is still beautiful, and the lake water is as clear as a lens, but invisible germs have grown and the lake water has been polluted.

The 50,000 large army unknowingly surrounds a mass grave to eat, sleep, and train. Thinking about it makes one feel terrified.

The Wise Masters were also afraid, no matter whether in the East or the West, The ancients were extremely afraid of epidemics, so the scout didn't dare to enter that area at all.

And Emerald Lake is only three kilometers from the former camp!

"Aren't you afraid of the disease?" Denzo couldn't believe it.

"Hmph, of course, I'm afraid, I'm scared to death. I came to Yunkai in the afternoon, built camps and dug wells that night, and arranged for 20,000 soldiers to go down to the lake early in the second day to soak them up. The body was fished up in two days." Dany coldly said.

Denzo suddenly said, "We also noticed the scene where you burned the corpses. At that time, we only thought that the corpses came from the corpse forest on the road. It turned out that you mixed the corpses in the lake and burned them together.. …."

At the same time, the sword poet also understood one thing, the smoke from the cooking he and Zidan saw in the camp that day was probably true, and there were really 40,000 to 50,000 people in the camp at that time.

When the news of Meereen's fall came, they thought as it should be by rights that the front and middle camps were empty, and the other party also deliberately built scarecrows in the camp, making them more and more convinced that they were in an empty camp.

Well, the Tattered Prince and he were amazed at the Dragon Queen's "empty city strategy" at that time, thinking it was the greatest tactical innovation of the Essos continent in the past thousand years.

Well, this world has never had an empty city strategy.

Unfortunately, people are no longer satisfied with using the empty city strategy to deceive poor people in different worlds. Dragon Queen's rank exceeds the empty city strategy.

The "empty city strategy" that the Ghis coalition both annoyed and admired was a fake, and more than 40,000 soldiers were waiting in ambush!

It's so unreal, true and false, The war has been over for several days, but the dignified Great General Grazdan and the Tattered Prince who fought for a lifetime have not yet figured out how they lost.

It's so miserable, so pitiful!

Denzo looked utterly dismayed.

"How did you know there were dead bodies in the lake?" Caggo couldn't help asking.

"You think I'm too stupid to not scout Yunkai? To tell you the truth, Yunkai, Meereen, New Ghis, Qarth, Volantis, and even Pentos, and Braavos thousands of miles away have Intelligence officers of mine." Dany relayed coldly.
