Game of Thrones: The Arrival of the Dragonborn Chapter 228: The timing of Vert’s attack
The first wave of attacks lasted from morning to noon.
There were piles of corpses under the city wall. The flames and black smoke gradually dissipated, leaving only sporadic fighting around Meereen. The three assault vehicles stopped advancing more than ten meters away from the city gate. All the soldiers pushing them were dead.
The exhausted defenders are about to usher in the first wave of victory.
The trombone sounded again in the distance, and the second wave of slave soldiers began to advance towards Meereen City and began to gather formation.
The number of this group of slave soldiers is smaller, but the soldiers are better equipped and stronger. Each soldier also wears more or less a metal breastplate. The rich slave owners let them wear long breastplates.
Slave owners who had no money were also equipped with heart armor, and their shields were no longer made of pure wood, but were covered with a layer of iron.
They carried the ladder to the front of the formation and began to charge, taking advantage of the fatigue of the defenders to launch a second attack. The city of Meereen, which had been quiet, began to scream for killing again, and they braved the rain of arrows, leaving behind corpses along the way.
After that, we quickly arrived at the bottom of the city wall.
After a morning of continuous fighting, the defenders on the city wall were already exhausted. After a short rest and rotation, they were dragged up the city wall by the generals. This wave of offensive did not even climb the city wall. This time it was better than the previous wave.
It became even more fierce, and soldiers were already climbing up the city wall.
Bang Suddenly there was a crisp explosion from the top of the city wall, and crystal clear ice exploded from the top of the city wall, freezing everything in front of it, as if a huge ice flower had bloomed in front of the battlements.
The blast of ice enveloped the stairs and the people on them, followed by a delayed lightning magic circle.
The huge and dull buzzing sound suppressed all the sounds around the city wall, and everyone's attention was attracted by the flashing bright current. Even if the attacking slave soldiers tried their best, the sound could not be transmitted, and the violent current flowed from
A soldier's weapon entered, and when it passed through his body, all the muscles and organs in his body were electrocuted into charcoal. Then it jumped out from his breastplate and jumped into another soldier's body.
A magic circle burst out with dozens of electric currents. The soldiers who were everywhere near the stairs did not even have time to escape. Everyone was attacked by the electric current, causing countless casualties in an instant. Some were lucky, and the electric current only injured their limbs.
Able to continue fighting, they pushed the corpse away and continued to climb the ladder and use their weapons to chip away at the ice.
The walls around Meereen have been decorated with magic circles by Werther, and now they are being triggered by the attackers one after another, exploding one after another.
The pushed ram was only three steps away from the city gate. There was a loud bang, and a huge fireball rose from the ground. The ram and the people around it were instantly engulfed in flames and disappeared. Only a few wood fragments and stumps were destroyed.
The explosion shot into the sky and flew hundreds of meters high.
"Oh!
Long live the mage!" The most threatening siege weapon at present was destroyed, and the defenders on the city wall burst into cheers.
The ice crystals blocked the passage in the direction of attack and blocked the downward attacks of the defenders. Both sides were able to take a temporary breather and focus on dealing with the archers on both sides.
The second wave of attacks was defeated by magic, causing the attackers' attacks from three directions to stall. However, they had already expected that there would be magic, but they did not expect that it was a trap placed on the city wall.
"The magic circle can only be used once! The supplies and personnel of the defenders are exhausted, and the main force is ready to attack!" The attacking generals began to give orders again. Now there are also casualties in the defenders, and only tens of thousands of our own slave soldiers have died.
People, they still have enough troops.
The main attacking force was better equipped, and the wooden ladder was no longer carried by soldiers, but was dragged forward by a small number of armor-covered horses. Two heavily armored knights formed a group, dragging a wooden ladder to the city wall.
After cutting off the rope, they will retreat. The soldiers can run to the city wall faster without being dragged down.

The horn of attack sounded again, and countless soldiers rushed to the city wall under the rain of arrows. They hid under the ice crystals and used long axes and war hammers to chip away at them. The defenders also kept throwing kerosene stones down.
The billowing black smoke everywhere seems to be covering the city of Meereen.
"The Golden Group has finally appeared!" Witte stood up at the top of the pyramid, held his hands together and twisted them, then pressed his legs and did a few squats.
The flag of the Golden Company did not appear, but in the far north of the city, Wirth saw many heavily armed war elephants.
In the intelligence about the Golden Company, they are promoting their war elephants all the time.
Horses have been domesticated by humans for a long time, and it takes several years or even more than ten years to train a knight. Elephants are full of wild nature, which is better said to be tamed than domesticated. To make elephants able to participate in combat, they need to be trained together with people.
It will take longer, and it is obviously impossible to find people to join the battle temporarily. Among the forces currently attacking Meereen, only the Golden Company has a large number of war elephant knights.
After two days of journey, Audah Weiying has not yet arrived on the third day. Now that the war elephants have appeared, all the magic traps have exploded. Once the war elephants reach the city gate, Meereen's defenders alone will not be able to resist it. The city gate is very difficult.
It will be breached soon.
Now Witte wants to go out of the city alone to solve these troubles. He picks up the giant sword next to him and looks at the 10 dark rings on his hands. Witte analyzes his own strength. There is no true god's blessing and divine power in this world. 10 rings
The maximum reduction in magic power consumption for the destruction system is only 81. Eight rings have already reached 80. Two similarly enchanted rings on the little finger only bring an increase of 1.
Unable to reach 100%, the second enchantment of the full-body Dragon Bone Armor has only 80 fire resistance, and 60 ice and lightning resistance. With several defensive magic and recovery magic, the elemental resistance of Witte
Don't worry.
Quickly kill the war elephants, then kill a few selected targets and return to the city as soon as possible to avoid being attacked by a large number of cavalry arrows. This is the strategy set by Victor. He is a human, not a god, and his magic power and physical strength will be consumed.
One person can deal with 70,000 to 80,000 people, and he will die from exhaustion even if he stands still and lets himself kill him.
This was also a strategy discussed with the generals defending the city in advance. Witte killed important and high-threat targets, and came on the scene to save the situation and boost morale when the defender was at a disadvantage.
A large amount of magic power gathered in Witte's hands, and then he closed his hands. Bang! A golden-red fireball was launched from Witte's hands, pulling out a red tail flame vertically and flying quickly into the sky.
"qadv!"
Daenerys on the terrace heard some unknown High Valyrian words. As soon as she turned around, she saw a dragon bone armor with three colors of bright magical light shining on her body, and Werther surrounded by flames.
Dragging an icicle as thick as a person with one hand.
"Aha!" As Werther bent his knees to gather strength and roared, the icicle was thrown out by Werther and flew towards the military formation outside the northern city. Then Werther stretched out a mage's hand and dragged himself back to stand on the icicle.
.
The fully armed Werther held a giant sword in his right hand and stood on the flying icicle with his left foot in front and his right foot behind. When he flew over Daenerys' head, he lowered his head and looked at her.
Daenerys looked at Werther who flew towards the local army formation alone, and under the dark helmet with ferocious horns, the eyes were like the eyes of a giant dragon. For the first time, Daenerys had a feeling.
, compared to himself and his nephew, Werther is the real Dragon King!
