Chapter 191: Yunkai Alliance

Chapter 189 Yunkai Alliance

The fog as deep as the sea gradually dissipated, and the towering Ghiscari Mountains that reached the sky slowly walked out of the shadows.

Suddenly, people would think that in an instant, the gods pulled out a majestic mountain with their divine power.

When the sailors were amazed and admired the wonders in front of them, the sea under the dawn turned from black to pure blue.

In the morning breeze, the white sails covering the entire sea surface fluttered in the wind, and the clear horn sound drifted in all directions with the breeze.

"We have arrived in Astapor!"

"It's the Volantis fleet, the Volantis are here! Our allies are here!"

...

The camp of the Yunkai coalition was built in a unique way. The camp was divided into eight districts, each with an independent entrance and different flags. They represent an ally, but these districts are not of the same size. They represent the strength of each ally.

The district facing the main gate of the main wall of Astapor is Yunkai, which is also the largest district. It is stationed with 5,000 Yunkai slave standing troops, including 2,000 crossbowmen and slingers, and 3,000 infantry.

Of course, this is not all its troops here, otherwise it would not be able to maintain its position in the first place.

Yunkai is the smallest city among the three city-states in Slaver's Bay, but it is closest to Astapor and is most threatened, so it has invested heavily.

In this war, Yunkai hired all the mercenary groups it could hire: the Second Sons, the Storm Crows, the Long Lance, and the Cat's Group.

On the left and right sides of the Yunkai camp are Meereen and Qarth respectively.

The three city-states in Slaver's Bay have the same bloodline, and the slave owners are also related by marriage.

At the beginning of the war, Meereen was the first to actively respond to Yunkai's call and sent 3,000 elite spearmen to Yunkai's command.

Originally, it could send more troops, but on the way to Yunkai, the Astapor refugees received by Meereen suddenly rioted.

Under pressure, the great lord of Meereen could only recall the army to maintain his own safety.

Qarth is also a slave society and hates the Dothraki people.

It is very powerful. The merchant guild in the city alone has thousands of ships, so it easily sent out 130 giant ships.

Unfortunately, the commander of Qarth, the royal member Mathos Mararovin, died in the Kaiser Pass, and lost most of his soldiers.

Now, except for the intact fleet, there are only 3,000 soldiers left in the camp, consisting of 1,000 camel cavalry and 2,000 infantry.

Volantis is the last of the eight allies to arrive. It is relatively far away and the internal political struggle is also complicated.

The annual election of the Archon lasts for ten days. The Tiger Party and the Elephant Party will do whatever it takes to win the election.

This year was particularly fierce. It took two months for the Tiger Party to win the competition with the Elephant Party, decided to declare war on the Dothraki, and joined the Yunkai Alliance.

Volantis had already assembled 300 ships, and the new Tiger Party ruler, Belicio Stangni, who inherited the political legacy of Malachor Megia, commanded the fleet.

But just before the fleet was about to set off, a Dothraki cavalry of about 10,000 suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Rhoyne River, which frightened the already sensitive Volantis.

In the end, Volantis only sent a fleet of 100 ships.

This fleet carried 3,000 Tiger Cloaks and 2,000 Windblown mercenaries.

With the support of Belicio Stangni, the secret agreement between the Tattered Prince and the previous Tiger Party ruler, Malachor Megia, was still valid.

Therefore, the prince agreed to lead his troops to fight in Slaver's Bay.

Most of the city-states on the Essos continent are located on the coast. While they are inclined to ocean trade, they are also stronger in naval strength.

In this way, due to too many ships staying in the bay, Belisio and Prince Tattered of Volantis landed on land at noon and entered the camp of the Yunkai coalition.

Along the way, they saw the flags of other allies, including those well-known city-states, New Ghis, Toros, Elia, and Mataris.

Especially New Ghis, the Iron Legion had only a thousand people, but the quality and momentum surprised Prince Tattered.

Although the prince had never seen the legendary "Invincible Legion" of the ancient Ghis Empire, he seemed to see the glorious history of that legion from the Iron Legion.

Moreover, there were a hundred armed elephants in the New Ghis camp, which made Belisio feel very familiar. If it were not too far away, he would also bring some elephants to participate in the war.

Located on the northwest coast of Slaver's Bay, Toros, the slingers are the best in Essos. They throw shot put instead of stones, which can cause great damage to the human body.

Their soldiers are not many in number, and they don't look like warriors, but more like athletes who come to participate in the sports meeting.

The two city-states of Elia and Mataris are adjacent to each other, and their camps are also gathered together.

However, Belisio and Prince Tattered only took a sneak peek and didn't look at it again.

Mataris is regarded as an ominous place, or "the city of monsters", and it is said that the people there are born deformed monsters.

The two of them just took a look and saw a two-headed man in the camp, which scared them.

As for Elia, although it is not as notorious as Mataris, it is adjacent to Mataris.

Seeing this, Belisio and Prince Tattered quickened their pace and walked towards Yunkai's camp.

They were going to meet the supreme commander of the coalition first, and the gate of the camp slowly opened.

"Sir Belisio! Your Excellency!"

"The arrival of Volantis makes me realize that victory is indeed near!"

Two burly slaves carried an old man who looked like a human-shaped sour plum, leading a group of people with different characteristics out of the camp. The old man's voice was very strong and powerful, and it sounded completely inconsistent with his appearance, age, and current situation.

"Victory is indeed within reach!"

Belicio and Prince Tattered quickly stepped forward to greet and respond, very politely saying hello:

"Respected Grand Marshal, Lord Akhaz of the Azak family, hello!"

The old man carried by the slaves, hunchbacked, full of wrinkles, and toothless, looked like a relic that survived from ancient times.

But he was indeed the highest military commander of the Yunkai coalition, Grand Marshal Akhaz zo Azak.

Belicio and Prince Tattered had heard of this old man. His authority in Yunkai was higher than that of other slave owners. The title of Grand Marshal was given to him by mercenaries and other allied armies.

However, they doubted the old man's leadership and command ability.

On the way here, Belisio and Prince Tattered observed and calculated that there were 400 naval ships and nearly 30,000 army troops.

Despite so many troops, Astapor still stood there.
