Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

If they accidentally kill their opponent, the terrifying dragon above their head won't be easy to deal with either. But if they take a hostage, hopefully the dragon won't harm its master...

Therefore, this is the true plan and intention of these wise lords of Yuankai. They cannot disobey the harpy's oracle, but they have no confidence in defending Yuankai to the death. Therefore, they can only choose to take a risky approach and seek another plan.

"Oh? Why do you say that, Lord Grazdan Mo Erraz?"

Daenerys, however, remained unfazed by Gladdan Mo Erraz's increasingly audacious words. She simply took a deep breath and slightly tightened her grip on the reins.

Daenerys was actually a little nervous inside.

In fact, Viserion had already told her everything he had seen from the sky, and Daenerys already knew that the Yunkay had set up an ambush near the city gate not far away.

But she still decided to risk coming here, and since she did so, she naturally had her reasons—

"I also want to thank the wise lords of Yuankai for inviting me to the city as a guest."

Then Daenerys took a deep breath and exhaled softly, her long, silver-gold hair fluttering in the wind, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everything before her.

She even felt as if she could see the slave soldiers lying in ambush on her left and right, but she still spoke calmly, letting out a single sentence.

"Thank you all for opening the city gates for me."

The wise lords of Yunkai laid an ambush at the city gates to capture Daenerys alive, but Daenerys herself took a risk, putting herself in danger to deceive the enemy, which was also a trap.

Otherwise, if Daenerys discovers the trap and immediately exposes Grazdan mo Erraz's scheme, killing him outright, then the wise lords of Yunkai, seeing their plan exposed, will surely close the city gates and retreat back into the city.

By then, Daenerys will likely have to pay a considerable price to conquer this formidable city on the east coast of Slaver's Bay, since while the Unsullied Legion is large and powerful, it currently lacks suitable siege weapons.

To launch a siege without siege weapons is to disregard the lives of soldiers and send them to their deaths. Even if they are as strong as Robert and as skilled in swordsmanship as Arthur Dayne, attacking a city without siege weapons is still sending them to their deaths.

Fortunately, Daenerys had the help of dragons, so even though her soldiers lacked siege weapons, it was not impossible for her to forcefully capture Yunkai.

However, the price to pay for doing so was something Daenerys was unwilling to bear.

Although Daenerys orchestrated a massacre of the Red God's followers in Volantis, executing all those who resolutely refused to convert and remained obstinate, seemingly ruthless, everything she did was actually for her husband.

If it weren't for Viserys, Daenerys wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Having lost both her parents and left with no one to rely on, she developed a deep attachment to her brother Viserys from a young age; he was the only one in her heart.

Therefore, Daenerys was willing to give everything for Viserys, giving birth to a son for him in the freezing cold, and going against her own heart, forced to stain her hands with blood. But in essence, Daenerys was still a kind-hearted, compassionate, and conscientious woman.

She would be outraged by the miserable state of the slaves she saw and would want to change the situation.

Chapter 954 Capturing the City

Therefore, if there were other options, Daenerys would not want to launch a direct attack on Yunkai.

If the dragons were to be deployed to burn down the city, the number of deaths and injuries would be countless.

Therefore, Daenerys took a certain risk to come to the walls of Yunkai. Now that the pretense had been broken, Daenerys simply stopped hiding it and told them directly that she had seen through their scheme.

"Thank you all for opening the city gates for me."

As Daenerys finished speaking, the wise lord, with dark brown skin and wearing an indigo toka robe, paused slightly, then his expression changed.

"what?"

Daenerys's words clearly exposed their scheme and also turned the tables on her, as they wanted to seize Yunkai's gates while they were wide open.

"Oh no! We've been exposed!"

Grazdan Mo Erraz's expression changed, and he reacted quickly, carrying his restrictive toka robe, and ran towards the gates of Yunkai.

Unfortunately, despite being dressed in an elaborate robe and adorned with heavy gold and silver ornaments, this wise lord of Yuankai had barely taken a few steps forward when a Unsullied soldier caught up from behind and pierced him through the heart with a spear.

puff--

The Unsullied soldier, wielding a spear, pierced Grazdan Mo Erraz's body from behind, the sharp spearhead protruding from his chest, blood splattering onto the ground.

Grazdan Mo Erraz staggered forward two steps, glanced down at the spearhead protruding from his chest, and coughed violently, blood gushing out continuously.

"Cough-cough-"

Then he turned his head, it was unclear whether he was looking into the cold eyes of the Unsullied soldier who had killed him, or at Daenerys riding on her white horse, before the spear that had pierced his chest was pulled out and his body collapsed to the ground.

...

The empire's young empress, accompanied by over a hundred guards, had arrived not far from the city gate and was about to enter the ambush. Yuankai's wise lords couldn't help but cheer with joy, but no one expected that a sudden change would occur at this moment.

For some unknown reason, Grazdan Mo Erraz suddenly ran towards the city gate, but before he could run more than a few steps, he was caught up by an Unsullied soldier and stabbed to death on the ground with a spear.

"What...what's going on?"

"What happened?"

The wise rulers behind them were slightly confused when they saw this scene, but they were not fools and quickly realized what was happening.

"Oh no! That bitch has seen through our plan!"

The wise lords of Yuankai were already rushing towards the city, shouting loudly to their slave soldiers to close the city gates immediately to prevent the Unsullied soldiers from taking advantage of the situation and seizing the city.

"quick!"

"Close the city gates immediately!"

However, although the wise lords of Yuankai reacted quickly, it was too late.

Ordinary soldiers might hesitate and be intimidated if they were just a hundred men rushing to seize the city gate, but Daenerys's soldiers were all Unsullied soldiers who knew nothing of fear.

"rush!"

"We've captured the city gate!"

Therefore, upon receiving Daenerys's order, they did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards the city gate.

Among them was even a high-ranking Unsullied soldier commander wearing a helmet with three spikes. He charged to the front and, seeing slave soldiers struggling to close the city gate, threw his spear.

puff--

The Unsullied officer threw his spear, piercing the chest of a slave soldier who immediately collapsed into a pool of blood.

The remaining slave soldiers panicked upon seeing the blood, hindering the process of closing the city gates.

"Seize the city!"

But at this moment, during this brief pause and chaos, the Unsullied soldiers who were very close to the city gate rushed forward and surged into the gate opening.

"what happened?"

"Why haven't the city gates closed yet?!"

The wise lords who had already fled into the walls of Yuankai were still somewhat shaken. They couldn't understand what had happened. How could this dragon bitch have fallen for their trap at first, and then suddenly realized what was going on?

But then they saw the Unsullied soldiers fearlessly seizing the city, and the Unsullied army behind them was also rushing towards them. They instantly became agitated, kicked down a slave soldier who was still standing there dumbfounded, and roared loudly.

"What are you still standing there for!"

"quick!"

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows!"

"Stop them!"

Yunkai's slave soldiers were not Unsullied and had not undergone brutal training. In addition, due to their status, not many of them were willing to risk their lives for their slave owners.

They hurriedly grabbed their bows and arrows, and a light drizzle of arrows fell. Only a few soldiers in the Unsullied ranks fell, but the vast majority of soldiers still rushed in like a swarm of bees.

However, at that very moment, while the wise lords of Yunkai were desperately directing the slave soldiers in the city to defend the city gates and resolutely prevent the Unsullied from taking the city, they were unaware that an enemy was swooping down from the sky above.

Upon receiving Daenerys's command, a deep and melodious dragon roar suddenly resounded from the sky, and the battlefield on the ground instantly darkened. It turned out that the enormous figure of the dragon descending from the sky blocked out the blazing sun.

The wise rulers on the ground, who were directing the slave soldiers, felt their minds go completely blank upon seeing this scene.

They looked up, stunned, at the enormous dragon overhead that blotted out the sky. The dragon's platinum scales reflected a dazzling light under the blazing sun, and it raised its ferocious head high, looking down at them as well.

"escape!"

"Run away!"

"Help!"

The next second, the wise lords of Yuankai scattered and fled.

However, just like Grazdan Mo Erraz, they hadn't run more than a few steps when a torrent of milky-white flames crashed down from the sky and slammed into the ground.

Rumbling--

The dragon flames instantly melted the wise lords of Yuankai, along with a large number of slave soldiers, into ashes.

"what--"

Many other slave soldiers were also engulfed in flames, emitting piercing screams as they frantically scurried about like headless flies. Some rolled on the ground trying to extinguish the flames, but all were ultimately burned alive.

Yunkai's garrison fell into Daenerys's trap. They failed to close the city gates immediately, and by the time the Unsullied soldiers swarmed in, they were completely unable to close them.

With the addition of dragons, the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.

Daenerys easily and effortlessly defeated Yunkai at a very low cost, with most of Yunkai's lords burned alive.

The few who escaped were easily captured after Daenerys had completely taken control of the city-state.

Because they were used to a life of luxury, they stood out like bright lights in the dark among a group of slaves.

Chapter 955 Sword Pointing at Meereen

Although Daenerys led the Unsullied army to conquer Yunkai, the question then became how to govern the city-state.

The young queen flew to Astapor alone on a dragon, so she had no capable advisors by her side, only the Unsullied. However, while the Unsullied were skilled warriors, they clearly lacked experience in governing a city-state.

After Daenerys took control of Yunkai, as was the religious war she launched, her first act was to wipe out all the temples of evil gods in the city of Yunkai.

The widespread dissemination of the Red God cult was closely related to the slave system. It can be said that wherever there were slaves, there was the spread of the Red God doctrine. These red-robed monks were very good at inciting the emotions of the slaves.

After Daenerys finished cleaning up the temples, her second order was to free all the slaves in Yunkai.

Yunkai was known for its arenas and brothels. Daenerys disbanded these gladiators and incorporated them into her army, expanding its strength to better govern the city-state.

Daenerys gained fame for freeing Yunkai's slaves, and was thus given the titles of 'Liberator' and 'Break of Chains'.

Although she was eager to continue her advance toward Meereen, unlike in the original timeline, this time she became more composed and decided to stabilize Yuankai's rule before leaving, otherwise Yuankai would revert to its original state as soon as she left.

What should we do with those captured Yunkai nobles?

Daenerys fell into deep thought, trying to recall her husband's way of handling things, and what Viserys would do if he were in this situation.
