Chapter 330 The raiders’ offensive

At dawn on the fourth day of the cessation of supply, the Pyramid of Marek

"Marik, why did you summon us so early?" Only after entering the hall of Marik's pyramid did Great Lord Zach notice that he was the first to arrive here.

"Anyway, you didn't fall asleep last night, so what's the difference between morning and night?" Great Lord Marik sat in front of the brazier. The weather at the end of the long summer was already hot, and the fire in the middle of the hall was even more intense. The temperature here has gone up a notch.

"How do you know I didn't sleep last night?" Zac asked in surprise.

"The city is in such chaos, who is sleeping again?"

"Alas," Zach couldn't help but sigh, "Marik, can you give me an accurate answer? Are the news spread outside true?"

"If you ask me this kind of question, who should I ask?" Great Master Marek sneered.

"Your family has always been highly valued by Earl Darry, and your eldest son Ersain has been appointed as Lord Fermor's lieutenant. Haven't you got some inside information from the front line?"

"Yes," another great master who had just walked in immediately agreed, "Marik, didn't you always promise that you would marry your granddaughter to Lord Darry? You really didn't get it. Any news?"

The few people who walked in immediately looked at Marik when they heard this.

Great Lord Marik remained silent, causing everyone to feel chilly even in this hot hall.

The Marric family was the first family in Meereen to extend an olive branch to Ian Darry, and they were also the leaders of Meereen's "royalists". The news that the great Lord Marric wanted to marry his granddaughter to Ian was widely known. Everyone knows. Because his granddaughter was worthy of the title 'Light of Meereen' in every aspect, many Meereen nobles chose to bet on this girl and gathered around the Marik family.

In the previous series of struggles, these royalists who supported Ian's proclaimed emperor naturally had serious conflicts with the great masters of the Holy Lord faction led by the 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr and the 'Green Saint' Grazdan. , and was repeatedly suppressed by the opponent.

Meereen is different from Yunkai and Astapor. Ian did not have time to run the business when he crash-landed in the city, and hurriedly headed to the Raza region. This leaves Ian with far more opponents than supporters in the city.

The royalist nobles all hope that Ian can triumph early and reshape Meereen's power structure, allowing them to sweep away the decline and regain the situation. But they didn't expect that what they were waiting for was such bad news.

The news of Ian's defeat has spread throughout Meereen, and they know very well that it is true. It is just out of unwillingness in their hearts that they accepted the promise of the Marek family with the last trace of luck, hoping to get something from this The royalist leaders received information contrary to the rumors.

At this moment, the silence of the Great Lord Marik suddenly plunged everyone into despair.

"Damn it! Everything is over!" Master Zac's face turned pale.

"If we surrender to Hizdahr now, is it still too late?" asked one of the great masters.

"Are you crazy? Have you forgotten how you provoked him before? Moreover, if Hizdahr accepts our surrender, what will he explain to the marauders at sea?" Another great master He saw it quite clearly, "By the way, Marik, since you don't have any news from the front line, why did you come to me here?" He suddenly remembered.

"Yes, since we have this time to gather here, we might as well find a way to escape from the city."

"There is no need, my friends." A voice suddenly sounded, and the great masters looked up and were surprised to find that the ruling council member Grazdan Zo Eraz actually appeared in this hall.

"Lord Eraz." Great Lord Marik took the lead in saluting. Although the other great Lords were a little confused, they also saluted one after another.

Grazdan nodded to them first, then turned to Great Lord Marik: "How many people you invited are here?"

"That's all, just nine." Marik's voice was a little hoarse. Counting himself, there were only four great masters and six minor noble family heads.

Although the Meereen royalists were weak, there were usually seven or eight great lords and dozens of lesser nobles. It was really embarrassing for him to have such a small number come today.

"That's really a pity." Grazdan sighed in confusion.

Originally, these members of the royalist faction would have received asylum and huge rewards, but those who did not come here today...at this best moment, no matter whether they chose to betray or escape, they missed this opportunity.

If those people can survive this turmoil, although Ian will not liquidate them like the Holy Lord sect, the matter of dividing the cake will basically have nothing to do with them.

"What do you mean by regrettable?" Zac asked in confusion.

"Nothing," Grazdan shook his head without explaining, "The plunderers in the port area will launch a general attack on this city at noon today at the latest. You each go home and take your important family members and slaves to Marik." Come and assemble at the Pyramid. The new army is entering the city. They will arrive here with food and protect you from this turmoil. Don’t begrudge the belongings you left in the pyramid and throw them away. When this turmoil is over, His Majesty the Emperor will I will grant you multiplied wealth.”

"Emperor?" Great Master Zak suddenly couldn't speak clearly. "You mean His Majesty Dai defeated the Horse King and is returning?"

"Is it possible that you really believe those rumors?" Grazdan's lips curved, "His Majesty's fleet is approaching Meereen and will arrive tonight at the latest. Anyone who dares to desecrate this city will be punished. Fire and blade purify.”

"Long live the Emperor!" Great Lord Zac was the first to shout, and then all the core members of the royalists in the entire hall cheered.

On the morning of the fourth day of the cessation of supply, the port area of ​​Meereen.

"The news has been confirmed. Last night, the reorganized New Army indeed sent several food convoys through Nancheng District to deliver food to the Great Pyramid. However, almost all the convoys were hijacked by the mob, and there was only a small amount of food. Successfully transported to the Great Pyramid." The mercenary leader walked into the room and came to Captain Mataeus to report.

"Multiple times?" Mataeus quickly caught the key word.

“At the beginning, they only sent a hundred-man team to transport food to the city, but this centurion was attacked by a mob and collapsed before reaching the Great Pyramid.

Then the new army was reorganized and hurriedly organized four hundred-man teams. After entering the city, they headed towards the Great Pyramid from different directions. Three of the teams collapsed after encountering the mob. Only one team left half of the baggage trains. Kankan breaks through the blockade and reaches the foot of the Great Pyramid. "The mercenary leader reported the truth.

As soon as he finished speaking this time, the whole room became noisy.

This is a tavern on Portside Street in Meereen. After being occupied by mercenaries, it became the temporary residence of the leaders of this group of sea raiders. There are now more than ten people in this room, all representatives elected by the captains of all forces.

Although the fleets gathered at the port of Meereen came from all over the world, they all had a common goal at this moment, which was to capture and plunder this oil-rich city that had been rich due to the accumulation of thousands of years of slave trade. Considering that the city still has 1,500 city guards and 2,000 slaves, the plunderers formed a common plunderer alliance on the basis of their own small alliances.

Although this loose alliance is destined to break up due to unfair distribution during plundering, that is a matter for later. They cannot fight among themselves before defeating the Meereen garrison and plundering food.

The most powerful among these people comes from Volantis's Mataeus Meguia. As the eldest grandson of the Tiger Party's governor Malachor Meguia, he was unanimously elected by the Volantis people here to become the temporary leader. The leader has a force of 5,000 men in his hands.

The second most powerful person is Xaro Xanwan Daxos of Qarth. Although his power here is not too strong, his status as the Thirteen Giants of Qarth also brings him great influence. Since he announced his intention to lead the Provisional Alliance of Qarth, a large number of captains from cities on the east coast of the Summer Sea or cities along the Jade Sea have joined his command.

It is these two who are competing for the main decision-making power of the Marauder Alliance.

Matthaeus Meguir's opinion is to form an alliance with Meereen's 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr. The other party will withdraw all the city guards to the pyramid of the Great Lord of Meereen, while the Marauders Alliance can Go directly to the Great Pyramid, first seize the food stored in the Great Pyramid, and then only need to defeat the remaining new slave army, then you can plunder the pyramids of all other great masters except the Holy Lord Sect, and return home with a full load.

Although this plan spared some great masters of the Holy Lord sect, it had the lowest risk, and it preserved the foundation of the city of Meereen, allowing the future slave trade to continue normally to a certain extent, so it received most of the people engaged in it. The slave trade was supported by captains.

The opinion of Xaro Xanwan Daxos is exactly the opposite. He does not believe in Meereen's 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr, calling him a villain who tells lies, and claims to have learned from Meereen's acting minister of finance. Obtained inside information. There is no food at all in the Great Pyramid of Meereen. The place where there is really a large amount of food in Meereen City is the Pyramid of Lorak of the 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr, and advocates giving priority to attacking these pyramids of the Holy Lord. Lin Wei Zhu.

Mataeus and Xaro accused each other of being deceived, and both sides insisted on their own opinions. As a result, the Marauder Alliance failed to reach an agreement after half a night of discussion.

Until this news comes.

The newly reorganized army sent food transport teams twice to break through the mob blockades at all costs and wanted to deliver food to the Great Pyramid for only one reason - there was really no food left in the Great Pyramid.

In other words, Hizdahr, the 'holy lord' of Meereen who told Mataeus that the Great Pyramid was the place with the most food in Meereen and suggested that Mataeus give priority to attacking the Great Pyramid, panicked and sent Mataeus to the Great Pyramid. Set up a table.

Facing the questioning looks from everyone, Mataus, who had always been arrogant, felt a little embarrassed for a moment. "I'm going to make that bastard Hizdahr pay the price!" He swore loudly.

"If you had listened to me earlier, the Lorak Pyramid would have been captured by us now!" Xaro said smoothly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Now I agree with your plan, let's get ready to take action. We have been delayed for too long." Mataeus heard Xaro's sarcasm, but he didn't know the person first, so he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue.

After the two bosses Mataeus and Xaro reached an agreement, nearly ten thousand people crowded in the port area of ​​Meereen quickly took action and rushed south.

At noon on the fourth day of the cessation of supply, the Pyramid of Loraq

"Lord Holy Lord, I feel like something is not right about this situation." The city guard general of the Lorak family came to Hizdahr's side.

"What's wrong?" Hizdahr asked irritably. In fact, he was very good at pretending and could always appear polite, but the current tension in Meereen and Reznak Mo. Reznak's disappearance made him somewhat distraught, and an ominous premonition lingered in his mind.

"Following your order, I shrunk the city guards around our Pyramid of Lorak and the two nearby ally's pyramids, leaving the Volantis with a way to attack the Great Pyramid and those royalist strongholds," he said directly. All the raiders were called Volantis, "But from what I observed from the top of the pyramid, they are not going to the Great Pyramid or the Pyramid of Zak at all. Instead, they are heading towards us." Come."

"Impossible!" Hizdahr roared immediately, "Marthaus Meguia is an old friend of mine." Perhaps realizing that this statement was too exaggerated, he changed his words, "We have worked together before, and His credibility is very good, how could he betray me?"

As Hizdahr spoke, he led a group of Holy Lords who had taken refuge in the Pyramid of Lorak to run to the large terrace at the top of the pyramid. The view from the top of the pyramid was good. He wanted to see those Volantis with his own eyes. action.

"Is it possible that it has something to do with the New Slave Army transporting food to the Great Pyramid last night?" the city guard general speculated, "The New Slave Army hurriedly transported food to the Great Pyramid, which made Mataeus mistakenly believe that the New Slave Army was inside the Great Pyramid. In fact, there is no food, so we wonder if we are deceiving him?"

"Absurd! How can there be no food in the Great Pyramid? This is impossible!" Hizdahr yelled angrily.

"Then how do you explain the actions of the New Slave Army last night?"

"This" Hizdahr was immediately asked. He knew there must be a problem here, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was specifically.

As the two of them talked, they arrived at the top of the Great Pyramid of Marek.

Hizdahr came to the edge of the terrace, held on to the railing and looked down. He saw a large number of mercenaries and sailors coming from all directions. The spears and axes in their hands easily caused damage to the city guards arrayed on the street. A large area of ​​damage was caused.

In less than ten minutes, the city guards from six directions were broken through the defense line one after another, and the looters attacked the pyramid in the blink of an eye.

Hizdahr's legs softened and he sat down on the ground.
