Chapter 287 Controlling the Slave City-State

The city of Meereen is located on the northernmost coast of Slaver's Bay, on a sandstone promontory near the mouth of the Skazhadan River. To the east is a series of hills, and beyond that is a sandstone mountain range.

.In the past, countless mercenaries went to Lazar through the Kaisai Pass in the mountains to burn, kill and plunder.

On the bridge of the flagship, Ryan looked at the city from a distance with a telescope. The city was surrounded by a tall and heavy city wall made of colorful bricks. There were defense towers protruding from the city wall at every other section. According to the previous

Former slaves who escaped here said that the bronze harpy heads on the city walls could spray boiling oil at enemies. The most impressive thing about this city is the tall pyramids.

"It looks very strong, but I don't think this city can last long here." After speaking, Ryan ordered ten gunboats to leave the port and sink all the ships that wanted to escape. The other five gunboats were covering

The transport ship landed on the edge of the wilderness outside the city.

When Ryan and the others landed, the city wall was also busy. Many soldiers wearing copper scale armor and holding long guns could be seen running around on the fortifications.

Since this was a surprise attack, the city did not make any preparations at all. Lane ordered 3,000 soldiers with 600 robots to go to the suburbs and mountains to sweep away the slave manors and liberate the enslaved compatriots. While he led 5,000 people in

Camp outside the city gate.

This day was uneventful. Ryan and the others needed time to rescue the slaves in the surrounding manors and mines, but the city was in chaos due to a sudden attack and could not come up with a response plan for the time being. Three days passed in this confrontation, except for

The gunboats sank five or six ships trying to leave the port without any conflict. The army that went to the countryside to liberate slaves killed 1,200 slaves with zero casualties, and at the same time successively rescued more than 20,000 slaves.

Lazarin and thousands of people of other ethnic groups.

After receiving a general medical examination, these liberated slaves were sent back to Lazar by steamer. Some soldiers even looked for their relatives who were kidnapped a long time ago. This made everyone's desire to fight even stronger.

On the third day, the city gate was opened. The pikemen came out of the city and formed more than a dozen square formations, and slowly advanced towards Lane's camp. At the same time, under the escort of the army, a group of people wearing silk

The slave owner sat on a seat on the city wall. He smiled and pointed at the Lazarin army below the city, as if he was watching an interesting drama.

"Are they crazy?" The staff officers next to them showed expressions of disbelief. Everyone now knows the power of the weapons they hold in their hands, and the Lazarins who have been instilled with memory and blessed by faith are all elites.

Warriors. They didn't understand why the army in Meereen would abandon the city wall and run out to die in this situation. They couldn't understand why the rulers of these cities looked at them as if they were watching a play.

However, it is a good thing that the enemy is stupid. Soon, Lazarin's army formed a phalanx in company units. In the gaps of the phalanx were steam artillery robots or steam machine gun robots.

After the pikemen on the opposite side left the city gate for a distance, the Lazarin army opened fire. The battlefield was immediately filled with white steam, and the dense array of pikes was easily swept away by the projectiles fired by the steam machine guns, while the missiles filled with explosive cherries

The cannonballs were projected into the military formations and city walls by steam cannons, exploding into flowers made of flesh and blood.

Each soldier is equipped with an air gun that can fire 20 rounds in a row. The effective range of this air gun is about three hundred meters. A 13 mm projectile can penetrate a five centimeter thick wooden board 300 meters away. The soldiers praised this magical

The weapon was given a poetic name: the Spear of Wind.

They used the wind gun to easily knock down the fish that escaped the net and rushed out of the smoke a hundred or two hundred meters away, while the logistics soldiers shuttled back and forth between the shooters and the steam filling station to replace the cylinders for the shooters.

Finally, no one rushed out of the smoke, and the Lazarin soldiers put down their rifles in confusion. Although they knew how this kind of war should be fought through the infusion of memories, they really did not expect to actually fight it.

It can be so easy on the battlefield.

Before setting off, these soldiers actually set foot on the battlefield with the determination to die. Because the years of being invaded left a deep psychological shadow on them, they went to the battle this time with the idea of ​​fighting to the end for their gods and their hometown. However,

I didn't expect victory to come so easily.

Finally, the smoke dissipated, and the battlefield in front of the city gate was revealed to everyone's eyes: the corpses of spearmen in bronze armor fell to the ground in dense numbers, and many of them were even in square formations and were wiped out in an instant. A large number of scattered corpses

Body parts were scattered everywhere, and only a few lucky ones were wandering in despair on this battlefield full of corpses.

The battlefield fell into absolute silence for a moment, until a gust of wind blew down the city gate full of large and small bullet holes, revealing the seemingly chaotic streets in the city.

"Charge, rush in." It would be a fool not to seize the opportunity at this time. Under the command of the officer, Lazarin's army quickly rushed through the unguarded city gate. After losing most of the troops and command

(Those slave owners who ran to the city wall were basically wiped out in the first round of shelling, and the city completely lost its command.) Lazarin's army was completely wiped out with single-digit casualties.

Resistance within the city captures Meereen.

After entering the city to restore order, the first thing Ryan did was to find a few slaves and ask why the slave owners sent troops out of the city to fight in the field.

The answer I got was a bit dumbfounding. When we were attacking the surrounding slave plantations, some slave owners took advantage of the chaos and ran into the city. After the people in the city knew that the attackers were Lazarins, they based their previous actions on

The Lazarin people were arrogant and thought that the slaves had come to their door. This led to the practice of ordering the army to take the initiative and even go to the city wall to watch the show. In their eyes, this battle was just a beautiful gladiator.

That's all. Their army can easily crush these Lazarins.

It is a pity that Ryan completely brought the Lazarin people into the era of industrialization in a short period of time, so that the outcome of the war was completely different from what the Meereen slave owners imagined. They became the side crushed by the wheels of history.

After the war, Rose Crystal came here to use divine fire to absorb the unruly faith in the Holy Grace Temple, and at the same time implanted its own faith roots into the city. When a miracle appeared, the city was destroyed within a week.

Some people have begun to believe in the Rose Crystal, which occupies the position of the Supreme Shepherd in the name of the Supreme Crystal.

A side effect of this behavior is that Rose Crystal can easily obtain enough information from believers, making it much easier to suppress the rebels in the future.

After the rebels were completely wiped out, a large number of administrators trained in a crash course took over the city, starting the process of modernizing the city.

The army moved south along the coastline, and other slave city-states were as vulnerable as Meereen. In just two months, Yunkai, Astapor, New Ghis and a series of small settlements were all destroyed.

Capture and control them, even if they are ready for battle, it will be ineffective. Whether it is the lax mercenaries, the tough Unsullied, or the elite legions of armored elephants of New Gith, they are all vulnerable to the dense rain of bullets of the new army.

.And the thick city walls cannot block magic and artillery attacks, not to mention that the majority of the slaves in the city and the defenders are not of the same mind.

Some hostile spellcasters with extraordinary powers were easily killed or subdued by Ryan and the Rose Crystal. Naturally, Ryan also gained a lot of extraordinary knowledge.

After finally completing the western part of Slaver's Bay, which was the core of the four slave-owning Gith civilization cities, Lion returned to Meereen, because there were more important things waiting for him here than war.
