Chapter 48: The Fall of Meereen

It is not as easy as in American TV series to capture Meereen. Slave owners also have an army composed of freemen.

Although there are not many of them, they are well-equipped. Slaves alone cannot successfully revolt.

For example, the 400 guards on the city wall are composed of 100 freemen guards and 400 slave soldiers.

Jack must fight quickly if he wants to take down the city wall. Fortunately, Jack has made sufficient preparations.

The 300 Unsullied under his command carried about a thousand weapons. After quickly arming the "Revolutionary Army", Jack led his men to rush to the city wall without stopping.

The freemen guards on the city wall soon found the traces of Jack and others. After all, in order to save time, Jack did not cover up the movement of the march.

"There is a situation, there are slaves rebelling, gather! Gather!" The night watch guards quickly sounded the alarm.

Soon the two sides met at the gate of the city, with 400 slave soldiers in front and 100 freemen guards hiding behind.

For this group of free soldiers, they only need to use the slaves as cannon fodder and hold on until the reinforcements arrive.

This is their best tactic in the past, but now they have forgotten one thing, they are facing the revolutionary army, the slave uprising army.

"Brothers, the army of the Mother of Dragons is ready outside the city, your freedom is just around the corner, freedom has taken 99 steps towards you, you only need to take one step towards freedom to get it."

Jack's words undoubtedly made this group of young and middle-aged slave soldiers excited, and they hesitated for a while.

At this time, the officer of the free guards behind him found that the slave soldiers began to waver, and in a hurry he whipped them directly.

Snap!

The crisp whip sound instantly poked a hornet's nest, and the originally wavering slaves made a decision.

Everyone turned around and pointed their spears at the free soldiers.

"Yes, that's it. Defend your freedom and dignity bravely and crush them!"

As Jack roared, the slave soldiers guarding the city gate joined the rebels one after another, roaring angrily, and poked the free soldiers who were usually high and mighty into hedgehogs.

After occupying the city gate, Jack quickly had the gate opened, "Korakshu, go."

After receiving the order, Korakshu immediately flapped his wings and flew high into the air, spewing long dragon flames.

Not far away, Dany, who was waiting in full battle array, saw the scarlet dragon flames piercing the night sky, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed.

In just a few minutes, they rushed into Meereen. The funny thing was that the defenders in Meereen were used to being loose, and they had not assembled since the alarm bell sounded.

But it was good this way, giving Jack enough time.

Afterwards, Jack met with Daenerys, and asked Dany to lead the Unsullied to deal with the Great Lord, while Jack took the rest of the people to liberate the remaining slaves.

The two sides had a clear division of labor. Dany led the Unsullied to clear out the Free Folk Guards in Meereen, while the new Free Folk Army that had followed Dany before began to burn, kill and loot.

In response, Dany could only assign a part of the Unsullied to guard the new Free Folks under her command. They could rob the slave owners of their money, but they were not allowed to rape and plunder, otherwise they would be killed on the spot.

As time passed, countless liberated slaves recovered and began to madly retaliate against the slave owners and the Great Masters.

The whole Meereen began to sound the wailing that would not sleep all night. Tonight was destined to be full of blood and hatred.

Amid the wailing of the slave owners and the Great Masters, the sky finally turned white, and dawn arrived.

The first ray of sunlight shone from the horizon, penetrating the Targaryen dragon flag on the top of the Great Golden Tower. Dany stood on the top of the pyramid, looking down at the whole Meereen with pride.

In just one night, Meereen, the largest city in the Slave Bay, had become hers and was conquered by her.

Just when Dany was feeling proud, a pair of big hands suddenly pressed her from behind.

Dany, startled, looked back and saw Jack with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing? Let me go." Dany twisted her waist uncomfortably, and she found something wrong.

Her face instantly turned red, "Don't make trouble, it's dawn, Grey Worm and the others are waiting for my order."

"It's okay, I have arranged things for them, they won't come now, and my people are guarding the door.

Don't panic, lift your legs up."

Dany was helpless, knowing that if she didn't do it, Jack would not give up.

——

On the other side, Grey Worm and others gathered all the Great Lords, slave owners, and a large number of Meereenese and new free people under the Great Pyramid.

In the original book, a large part of the Great Lords hid in their own pyramids to avoid the looting of the 80,000 new free people who followed Dany to the north.

But now, under Jack's special instructions, the pyramids of these great masters were directly broken through by the desperate slaves, and then the Unsullied directly took over the entrances to these castle-like pyramids.

After waiting for a while, Jack walked out of the Great Pyramid.

Grey Worm stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Where did your Majesty go? Why didn't he come down?"

"Dany is a little tired. She can't hold on and rest first. Don't worry, my people are watching. If you are worried, you can also arrange someone to guard."

Grey Worm glanced at Jack, "Of course I believe you, you are the father of dragons, but there may be enemies that have not been cleared in the Great Pyramid. I will take people to search again."

"Well, be sure to search carefully." Jack nodded.

After Grey Worm led people into the Great Pyramid, Jack walked in front of everyone.

"My name is Jack Poseidon. Many nobles may know me because I have another name, the Father of Dragons."

"I have good news to tell you. From today, Meereen will become the free city-state of Meereen.

There are no slaves, no oppression, only the laws in the Dragon King Code.

Everyone in the free city-state of Meereen can live freely, eat white bread and drink milk freely!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was an overwhelming cheer from below, but the cheers were all from the new free people.

The Meereenese and nobles were not happy at all. The lowly slaves turned into noble free people. This gap was unacceptable to any Meereenese and nobles.

Especially the great lords, each of them looked at Jack with resentment. They thought that this idiot was on their side, but it turned out that he was Daenerys's man from beginning to end. Damn it!

When they thought of the gifts they gave to Jack, they blushed and broke their defense, as if they had seen Jack's disgusting expression mocking them.

"Stinky bitch!" A great lord cursed angrily, "You accepted our gifts, but you helped the mother of dragons to deal with us!"

This great lord's words resonated with Jack, and six great lords followed him to curse Jack. Jack saw it clearly.

Jack smiled contemptuously, "You did send gifts, but didn't I show you the dragon? Trading is trading, don't mix it with human relationships, okay, everyone."

Then Jack ordered the Unsullied around him: "Take those teams of officers from the Free Folk Guards and supervise them to lead people to rob the pyramids of these great lords. Kill all the men, regardless of age, and leave the women. I can use them."

The faces of the officers who were named changed drastically, and about ten nobles in the noble crowd also looked ugly.

Jack had already found out clearly that their families were not powerful in Meereen and their foundation was still shallow.

At the same time, their family was a single-line inheritance, and their sons all held some official positions in the Meereen standing army.

Letting their sons confiscate the family property would make them, who were already looked down upon, completely hostile to the Meereen nobles. After all, regardless of whether they were willing or not, it was their sons who killed the person.

As for the fact that their good sons would rather die than surrender, it was ridiculous and impossible. Their greed for pleasure and fear of death were one of their strengths.
