Chapter 65: Anti-Dragon King Alliance

It is not known whether it is a coincidence or a necessity, the two major gathering places of human civilization in the world are simultaneously caught in a huge vortex of war.

Not long after the Seven Kingdoms War in Westeros began, the war in Essos entered the preparation stage.

Yunkai united with New Ghis, Volantis and several weak free trade cities to form an anti-dragon king alliance and assembled an army of 300,000 slaves.

The news soon spread to Meereen, and Daenerys immediately convened a round table meeting, and all the new power classes in Meereen were present.

In the main hall of the True Dragon Pyramid, in addition to the large round table in the middle, rectangular tables were set up on both sides. This was Daenerys's own idea.

The Dragon Mother did not have long-term political wisdom, but she still had a lot of cleverness in some things.

For example, the long table meeting was set up because Daenerys was afraid that Meereen would become Jack's one-man show, so she did this thing.

Dany divided the True Dragon Pyramid into three power ladders. The first ladder was Dany herself, sitting on the throne at the top.

The second step is the round table meeting, which is the leadership of Meereen and the royal meeting after decentralization.

The third step is the people at the square table, officials and representatives of Meereen at all levels, and religious forces such as the Green Saint, who belong to the executive class and have no decision-making power.

"Now Yunkai has united many forces to form an anti-Dragon King alliance. Do you have any countermeasures?"

Dany asked everyone.

The establishment of the anti-Dragon King alliance was within her expectations, but she did not expect Yunkai to win over so many allies in a short time.

Volantis, New Ghis, Toros, and even the camel soldiers of Qarth.

Especially the sea fleet of 300 warships of Volantis, which is definitely not good news for Dany.

Once the fleet of Volantis arrives, Meereen's maritime trade will be directly blocked.

Everyone in the hall was silent. There was no good way now. They could only fight back and block the water.

Moreover, the arrangements made by the Prime Minister before were already very comprehensive, and they had no other way.

So many people looked at Jack silently. After all, it was not a good thing for a minister to keep silent.

Seeing this, Jack said directly: "Your Majesty, it is not us who should be anxious, but the slave owner alliance.

The name of their alliance is the Anti-Dragon King Alliance, because of the four dragons in your and my hands.

They are afraid that the dragons will grow up, so they want to use the word "Dragon King" to awaken people's fear and let everyone unite to deal with us.

And the Kether Pass is under our control. The Laza people are willing to sell us food at 80% of the market price as long as we provide them with shelter.

There are food and people, and we are also purchasing iron ore on the market. Now there are 30% more iron ore merchants coming to Meereen than before.

With iron ore, we can make weapons and then arm the Freemen Corps."

After hearing Jack's words, not only Daenerys was relieved, but even the rest of the people present had a bottom line in their hearts.

Many times Jack is like a reassurance to Meereen, as if as long as Jack speaks, there will be no problem.

Mando said at this time: "Prime Minister, do you mean that as long as we can delay time, we can win this war?"

Everyone was looking forward to Jack's answer, but Jack's next words poured cold water on everyone.

"The first two years are good for us. We need to train soldiers and stabilize the operation of Meereen. But after a long time, if we can't defeat this coalition after the financial bottom, we will collapse first without the slave owners sending troops."

Jack looked at everyone, "This is the problem in front of us. The Anti-Dragon King Alliance has just been established. It will take at least half a year to gather together to send troops."

"In this half year, we must take down Yunkai and Astapor, otherwise when the alliance army forms an encirclement, we will really be trapped in an isolated city."

Dany sat on the throne with a frown.

It is not difficult to understand what Jack meant. Before the Anti-Dragon King Alliance gathers to encircle Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor must be taken down first.

Otherwise, we will face the double-teaming of the Anti-Dragon King Alliance's navy and army.

But if we take Yunkai and Astapor first, we don't have to worry about the army, and we can just focus on resisting the navy's beach landing.

But the problem is, how can we ensure that we can gain a foothold in Yunkai and Astapor?

"Excuse me, Prime Minister, the army of Meereen only has 9,600 Unsullied, and 2,000 of them have to be allocated to protect the Laza people. How can we consolidate the rule of the three cities in Slaver's Bay?"

"The Freemen's Legion."

"The Freemen's Legion?" Dany asked back.

In Dany's view, the Freemen's Legion is just a decoration, at least for the next six months.

It is composed of a group of ordinary slaves and has no decent weapons and armor. Compared with the Unsullied, such a legion is indeed like a decoration.

"Yes, it is the Freemen. Not counting the Unsullied who are protecting the Lhasa, you still have 7,600 people.

3,200 Unsullied and the Black Dragon Legion are stationed in Meereen; 2,400 Unsullied and the White Dragon Legion are stationed in Yunkai, and the remaining Unsullied and the Green Dragon Legion are stationed in Astapor."

"Excuse me, I don't think dividing the troops is a good choice. The slave owners are very likely to take this opportunity to encircle and suppress the Unsullied in Yunkai and Astapor."

Barristan is not optimistic about the decision to divide the troops. In his opinion, the most powerful thing about the Unsullied is the military formation, and the more they are, the stronger they are. Once the troops are divided, no city-state can resist the coalition of slave owners.

Seeing that Dany was still in deep thought, Barristan continued:

"Your Majesty, the three freemen legions have a total of 18,000 people, and each legion has only 6,000 people after separation.

Even if the Unsullied are included, there are less than 10,000 people, and this does not include the casualties in the attack on Yunkai and Astapor, and the slave owner coalition has a total of 300,000 people."

"Sir Barristan, I think you have overlooked a problem. After we occupied Yunkai and Astapor, can't we recruit more soldiers?

Besides, we haven't looted the wise lords of Yunkai. There must be a huge amount of wealth in their pyramids."

Barristan frowned and said, "Prime Minister, believe me, you have not participated in the war, so you may not know.

Newly recruited soldiers are very easy to collapse and cannot be compared with normal soldiers. Not all soldiers are like the Unsullied Legion."

After speaking, Barristan also glanced at Grey Worm, hoping that Grey Worm could persuade Daenerys not to disperse his forces with him.

However, Grey Worm pretended not to see it. He did not want to, nor did he have the ability to participate in the decision-making. He just had to obey the orders of Her Majesty the Queen.

Seeing that Grey Worm had no intention of speaking, Barristan could only pray that Daenerys would listen to his advice.
