Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Seeing that his own battering ram and nearby soldiers were all blown to pieces by the wildfire, Koma shouted loudly to the soldiers who were pushing the spare battering ram at the rear of the army.

Hey yo, hey yo!
Under Koma's command, groups of captured slaves came from the rear of the army, pushing spare battering rams.

Under the coercion of a group of Westeros soldiers, they used all their strength to quickly push the battering ram towards the west gate of Volantis.

Looking at the battering ram approaching again, Honos on the top of the Black Wall of Volantis didn't care.

Although the wildfire ointment stored by Volantis could not be used to kill these siege soldiers on a large scale, even dozens of battering rams would be useless.

Nothing short of a battering ram made of pure stone could have opened the gates of Volantis in the face of wildfire.

The key problem now is that the number of enemies is too large!

Looking at the densely packed siege ladders leaning against the top of the Black Wall of Volantis, Honos showed a slight worry on his face.

Although there were more than 10,000 soldiers and slaves in Volantis, it was impossible for all of them to guard the west gate.

After all, we still have to be wary of the enemy's feint to the east or the enemy dragon that has not yet appeared.

Therefore, at this moment, there are only about five thousand soldiers defending the city on the top of the Black Wall of Volantis, which is almost half of the total force.

However, the Black Wall was too majestic and vast, and faced with the siege soldiers that kept climbing up from all directions,
The soldiers defending the city seemed to be overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

The siege of Volantis had only lasted for a short while, but the defending soldiers had already killed at least nearly a thousand attackers.

But for the enemy troops numbering at least 60,000 to 70,000, the casualty rate was only close to one sixty to one seventy.

Moreover, under the incentive of unequal manpower and money, these siege soldiers of Westeros's eastward expedition army are maintaining high morale and bravely attacking the city.

This further increased the pressure on the Volantis soldiers defending the city.

In such a large-scale war, when the pressure accumulates too much, fatal mistakes can easily occur!
what! ! !
A siege soldier in brand new armor hacked down a Volantis defender who was throwing stones, then jumped directly from the siege ladder onto the battlements of the Black Wall.

But as soon as he uttered a roar, he was hacked to death by several soldiers guarding the city.

But this first Westeros siege soldier who jumped onto the Black Wall kicked off the brutal Battle of Volantis Wall!
At the point where the Volantis wall was first breached, two siege soldiers took advantage of the moment when the defenders killed the first siege soldier.

He jumped directly onto the city wall and started fighting the attacking soldiers in close combat back to back.

Once a hole is poked in the originally tight city wall defense line, there will definitely be a second and a third one.

After the siege soldiers of the Westeros Eastern Expedition died, the siege ladders behind them were continuously replenished.

After the death of the soldiers defending Volantis, the middle-level commanders behind them would immediately draw soldiers from other areas to replenish their positions.

As time passed, the corpses on the top of the black wall of Volantis, which was like a meat grinder, had piled up high, and a thick layer of sticky blood had formed on the wall.

Sizzle! Hoo!
Chirp chirp!
The sound of flamethrowers spraying wildfire and igniting it was heard again at the city gate.

The defending soldiers running on the city wall stepped on the muddy blood and tried to fill the defensive gaps on the wall with their lives.

Damn, these soldiers from Westeros are much more difficult to deal with than expected!
There is no other way, we have to dispatch some troops from other city gates!

Looking at the crumbling city wall, Honos turned around and told the messenger beside him, "Let the cavalry from the other three city gates come to help."

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, the messenger turned around and went to pass on the message.

Since Volantis covers such a large area, he naturally couldn't waste time running from gate to gate.

Three streams of purple smoke rose from the beacon tower at the west gate, and the whole of Volantis was clearly visible.

When the commanders of the other three city gates saw the three streams of purple smoke containing information, they immediately began to dispatch troops to support the west gate.

The battle on the top of the West Gate wall will naturally not stop because of these three puffs of purple smoke.

As time went on, more and more Westeros soldiers stood on the top of the Black Wall, and they even formed a preliminary military formation to fight against Volantis who were defending the city.

Their territory also gradually expanded from the initial one person.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

"Haha, come on brothers, kill all these bastards, and then go talk to their wives tonight to discuss life!"

Somewhere at the Black Wall, a Frey officer in charge of commanding Westeros waved his axe and shouted to encourage the soldiers around him.

Rumble!
Even as he was speaking, the Frey officer heard a faint thunder-like sound of horse hooves, and it was obvious that a large number of cavalry were approaching quickly.

Hmm? Are there cavalry coming to support the enemy city?
Just as the Frey family officer was frowning in confusion, he discovered that the Volantis soldiers in front of him were retreating like a tide.

then……

Da da da!
At least a thousand Volantis cavalrymen appeared on the north and south sides of the black wall.

They were like two steel torrents, rapidly approaching the Westeros soldiers who were now stunned.

What the hell!

We actually encountered a cavalry charge on the city wall!

Faced with the cavalry charge, the Frey officers had no choice but to passively face the enemy cavalry's attack with pale faces.

Bang bang bang!
Ah!
These carefully selected strong war horses crashed into the crowd of Westeros soldiers on the top of the Black Wall.

Scary screams suddenly rang out one after another.

These Volantis cavalrymen brandished their swords with ferocious expressions, alternating left and right to reap the lives of these enemies.

The Westeros soldiers who were so fierce and ferocious just now, clamoring to find each other's wives to discuss life, suddenly turned into a group of leeks harvested by sickles, looking extremely miserable.

Perhaps only the Black Wall of Volantis can carry out a cavalry charge on top of the city wall!

"The cavalry is coming. Quickly form a battle array to resist the enemy."

"Are there any archers? Fight back, fight back!"

"Those with shields and spears, come and form a battle line!"

Although the soldiers of Westeros fought with all their might, infantry without spear and shield formations could never be a match for the cavalry.

Most of the Westeros on the top of the Black Wall were hacked to death by the cavalry, and the remaining few were either knocked away by their horses or jumped off the wall and died in panic.

very good!

Honos looked at the Black Wall area that had been recaptured by his side and nodded with satisfaction.

With two thousand cavalrymen drawn from the other three city gates, he was confident that he could defend the west gate.

Um?what is that?
Just when he was feeling very proud of himself, his eyes happened to catch a glimpse of a white figure looming in the clouds above his head.

Needless to say, the white figure was the giant dragon Araxes. Sitting on the saddle of Araxes, Lusiris retracted the special telescope and patted the dragon scales of his giant dragon.

Ang~~~
The loud dragon roar suddenly resounded throughout the area surrounding Volantis.

Damn! Is the opponent's dragon about to attack?
Honos looked around at the soldiers who were panicked by the dragon's roar, and his expression immediately changed from joy to worry.

But the Araxes in the sky had no intention of diving after the dragon roar. It still hovered in the air, acting as a dragon-shaped reconnaissance aircraft.

Didn't launch an attack? Could that dragon roar just now be a signal?
Our cavalry launched an attack and the enemy gave a signal.

Oh no! This is their trap!

The enemy used the west gate as bait to attract attention, but what they really wanted to raid was one of the other three gates!

After a brainstorming session, Honos immediately asked the messenger to notify the two thousand cavalrymen to return to the other three city gates.

But the notice, reorganization and change of direction would add at least another twenty minutes of journey.

By the time they get back, they can basically only clean up the battle.

……

Volantis is located at the mouth of the River Rhoyne, and the huge city is built around this estuary.

The River Rhoine flows into Volantis through the north gate and flows out through the south gate.

These two gates, one in the south and one in the north, were the most prosperous gates of Volantis in the past.

If the Westeros army wanted to launch a surprise attack, they could only do so from the south gate, which was adjacent to the vast Summer Sea.

Wow!
On the summer sea where the ocean currents were balanced today, countless large, medium and small rowing warships were seen sailing rapidly towards Volantis from the southwest.

Needless to say, the black three-headed dragon flag hoisted by this huge fleet shows its identity.

shhhhhh!
Boom boom boom!
The arrows shot by the archers guarding the South Gate and the spear bolts shot by the giant crossbows caused some casualties to the soldiers of the Conqueror's fleet who were approaching quickly.

But as the distance got closer, the Conqueror fleet began to fight back.

Whoohoo!
As the conqueror's fleet of rowing warships rapidly approached the South Gate,
Dozens of burning asphalt barrels were launched from the large rowing warships and smashed towards the Volantis soldiers at the south city gate, where only more than a thousand people were left.

Bang! Ah!
These red-hot asphalt barrels exploded violently on the walls of the South Gate, and the hot and sticky dark brown liquid instantly splashed on the surrounding Volantis soldiers.

These unfortunate soldiers immediately rolled and struggled on the ground, howling like ghosts and wolves, trying to rub off the asphalt, which was both irritating and corrosive.

At the same time, the burning asphalt also emits a very irritating and toxic black mist.

The surrounding Volantis soldiers' eyes suddenly turned red and they began to cry uncontrollably.

shhhhhh!
The Conqueror Fleet took advantage of the Volantis soldiers' panic to continue their attack.

A very dense wave of arrows was fired from the rowing warships, falling all over the black wall of the South Gate, causing heavy casualties in an instant.

It was unknown whether the Volantis army, which numbered less than a thousand, was caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Faced with the conqueror fleet rapidly approaching the port near the west gate, they did not dare to stick their heads out from the city wall to fight back against the conquerors.

Perhaps in their opinion, the Black Wall and the South Gate were strong enough.

No matter how large the number of people in this enemy fleet is, it is impossible for them to fly directly onto the city wall using catapults!

Bang Bang Bang!
Go!

Kill!
As the numerous rowing warships of the Conqueror's fleet approached the harbor outside the South Gate, countless gangplanks were thrown out from the warships.

Afterwards, a large number of Westeros soldiers, roaring and waving weapons in their hands, successfully landed through the pedals.

The numerous small rowing warships either rushed directly onto the land,

Or when approaching the shallow water area of ​​the port, the soldiers on the ship would jump off the boat and wade towards the shore.

After a short while, about one-third of the Conqueror's fleet approached the port area, and about six or seven thousand soldiers successfully landed in the South Gate port area, ready to start the siege.

On the flagship of the Conqueror's Fleet, Edmund, who was named Earl by Luthrisgar for his contributions in the Disputed Land, glanced at the tall and sturdy south gate of Volantis.

Then he turned around and spoke respectfully to a short figure in a hooded robe behind him.

"Master Ye, please help us!"

"Well, don't let your people get close to the city walls yet."

The short figure pulled off his hood after hearing that, and it was Ye Zi who had shown great power in the capture of Rees.

"Yes!"

After Edmund nodded in agreement, he immediately gave his orders to the messenger.

Those Westeros soldiers who were eager to break into the city, kill, burn and loot immediately moved away from the city wall of the south gate when they heard the order.

At the same time, a melodious song, seemingly in an unknown language, rang out on the flagship of the Conqueror's fleet.

Then, the ground under the south gate wall trembled slightly, and a narrow crack suddenly appeared along the edge of the Volantis wall.

Although the initial depth of the crack was only a few dozen centimeters, it did not cause much impact on the city wall.

But as the ground shook more and more violently, the crack suddenly spread across the black wall of the South Gate like a spider web.

If it is the city gate on the east or west side, because the foundation is solid, the black wall can still maintain its most basic shape even if there are cracks.

Puff, puff!
However, below the South Gate is the Rhoane River. Although there is an iron gate that reaches the bottom of the river to support it, it is still under the effect of Ye Zi's "Roar of the Earth" magic.

Large amounts of very fine gravel began to fall from the cracks into the River Lorne.

After the small gravel, stones of varying sizes began to fall.

It was obvious that the black wall of the South Gate had lost its stability under the leaf magic.

The South City Gate, which had no solid foundation to support it, could not bear the incredible weight of the black wall that was fifteen or sixteen meters thick.

Puff puff puff!
Finally, with a huge roar, the black wall of the South Gate split directly in the middle with the River Rhoyne as the center.

After the huge smoke and dust raised by the collapse of the city wall dissipated, it was discovered that the black wall to the south of Volantis had blocked and filled up more than half of the River Rhoyne.

The water level of the River Lorne is also rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. I believe that it won’t be long before the river water accumulated here will burst forth.

But now, neither the Westerosi soldiers nor the Volantines soldiers had time to care about the accumulating river water.

The Westeros soldiers, like hungry wolves, trampled on the rubble that filled up most of the Rhoyne River and rushed towards the city of Volantis.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The urgent alarm bells rang all over Volantis, and Honos at the west gate could naturally hear them.

The rhythm of the bells can only mean one thing: Volantis is broken!
So fast? Oh my god, what should we do!!! (End of this chapter)
