Chapter 192 Questioning the Proof

Chapter 190 Doubt Proof

The news of Volantis' arrival had spread long ago, and the commanders of allied states gathered in Yunkai's camp waiting.

After introducing each other, Belisio and Prince Tattered were led directly into the camp.

But just as the two were about to step into the marshal's tent, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them:

"You two, be careful about your words and actions! This is not the time to respect the elderly."

Belicio and Prince Tattered looked back silently and recognized that this man was the general from Meereen, "River Guardian" Skarlats Mo Kantak.

Skarlats had an ugly face, a pair of small eyes with huge eye bags under his high eyebrows, a big nose covered with acne, and shiny skin that was not the amber color common to the Gis people, but waxy yellow, looking very hard and cruel.

Belisio and Prince Tattered, who were both good-looking and elegant, did not have a particularly good impression of Skalaz. After hearing the inexplicable words just now, they felt that this man was cunning and treacherous.

The two knew in their hearts who the so-called respect for the elders referred to, and they also understood that there might be some problems within the Yunkai Alliance.

However, since they had just arrived, they did not ask out of pure curiosity.

Everyone entered the tent and took a seat. The two burly slaves who carried the supreme commander Yakhaz also placed their master on a table covered with exquisite brocade.

Yakhaz stared at his knees, and the slave who was waiting beside him handed him a scepter with a golden eagle tip, and then he raised his head and spoke.

"Hello, Belisio of Volantis and the Prince of the Windblown, first of all, thank you for bringing your troops to provide support at this critical moment."

"Secondly, according to the intelligence we have received, the Horse King is leading his army south, and the Kaiser Pass is also under the control of the Dothraki. It can be said that the Horse King's way south is unimpeded."

"All signs indicate that a disaster is about to come, which is darker than all the crises we have experienced!"

"It is said that you have fought with the Horse King who unified the Dothraki in Volantis. Please tell us about his situation!"

After hearing what Akhaz said, Belisio Feeling a little ashamed, he quickly explained:

"I only saw the horse king's army on the walls of Volantis. I was one of the two witnesses. The other was the late Malachor Megia. You can see that I don't have much experience in military affairs, so I don't have any really useful insights."

"However, after seeing the Dothraki army, Malachor Megia said that the wall was the greatest invention of human civilization. I think what he meant was that we should take advantage of our advantages and rely on the thick walls to defend."

Belicio's words were well-reasoned, and the Tattered Prince nodded repeatedly.

After the former Tiger Party ruler Malachor Megia was killed by Mungo, it seemed that his political ideas were gone, and no one mentioned his political ideas again.

But now it seems that Belisio still admires the "tiger" and is walking on the path of his predecessors.

Thinking of this, the Tattered Prince felt that his secret agreement with Volantis had more guarantees.

However, he then thought of Dothraki and said solemnly:

"I don't know much about the horse king. It was this damn Dothraki who killed my left and right arms. He was extremely brave and different from other horsemen. He was very treacherous."

"No matter how cunning he is, he is still a horseman."

Skarlats from Meereen sneered, then looked sharply at the Supreme Commander Akhaz and said:

"Before dealing with Dothraki, we should think about how to break through Astapor, otherwise the coalition will face the crisis of being attacked from all sides, and then we will face what you said, the greatest darkness in history."

Akhaz's face flashed a trace of anger, and he stretched out his scepter to Skarlats.

"Give me the 10,000 soldiers that Meereen promised to support, and Astapor will be broken in an instant!"

Stimulated by this tone, Skarlats felt the blood surging in his head.

If the 10,000 soldiers of Meereen arrived, there would be no need for this old guy to command, and how could this old guy still sit in the position of the Supreme Commander safely.

Skalaz's face darkened, he turned away from staring at Akhaz, looked at the others and said:

"In short, there is no doubt that what I said is a reality."

At this moment, Belisio and Prince Tattered, who had just arrived, had to admit that what Skalaz said made sense no matter how bad their impression of him was.

The two glanced at the other allied generals and the commanders of the mercenary group in the tent. Seeing that no one said a word, they did not say a word either.

Belicio and Prince Tattered understood the situation here. It seemed that they were not the only ones who doubted Akhaz's command ability.

It was that the supreme commander was widely questioned by everyone, and even the mercenary group hired by Yunkai was unwilling to defend Akhaz at this time.

Everyone kept silent, which was the only respect left for the Grand Marshal.

After this farce-like meeting ended in silence, Belisio slowly said to the Tattered Prince:

"We sailed from Volantis at night and crossed the ocean storm, is it just to see this?"

The Tattered Prince did not answer. He was more like a ruler than Belisio, more kingly, and calmer.

At this moment, the leader of the Volantis Tiger Party suddenly said something meaningful.

"The Dothraki won a great victory, and the town of Seheru in Volantis has been breached."

The Tattered Prince immediately stopped, and his gray eyes turned to Belisio, with some hidden and unclear meaning in them, and whispered:

"For me, the most important thing is the agreement between us. The Windblown Group fought for Volantis and got the due reward."

The two smiled at each other and reached some special tacit understanding.

The next day, as if to wash away the shame at the meeting, or to prove himself, the Grand Marshal Yakhaz personally took command.

He organized all 5,000 Yunkai standing troops to fight. Once the city was broken, they would rush into the city first to face their enemy, the Unsullied.

In order to ensure the safety and morale of this army, he also let the mercenary group and the Iron Legion guard the left and right wings.

Next, the Grand Marshal introduced his most important weapon - six trebuchets, which were specially built for the high and thick walls of Astapor during the period when the coalition forces confronted it.

After the six trebuchets were assembled, they were forty feet high, towering behind the Yunkai army, becoming the most eye-catching siege facilities on the entire battlefield, surrounded by piles of stone bombs and unlit asphalt barrels.

Soon after, the sound of hammers struck, through the dry and hot air, into the ears of every soldier.

As the long arms of the six trebuchets swung, a batch of stone bombs were thrown into the air. The blazing stone bombs were like a group of flamingos that found their prey, rolling in the air and flying towards Astapor.

In this way, the real attack and defense of Astapor began.
