The city of Meereen sits on the northernmost coast of Slaver's Bay, on a sandy headland near the mouth of the Skazadan River. To the east of it is a series of hills, followed by a sandstone mountain range. Previously, countless mercenaries had gone to Laza to burn and plunder through the Kaiser Pass on the mountain range.

On the bridge of the flagship, Ryan looked at the city from afar with a telescope. The city is surrounded by a ring of high, heavy walls made of colorful bricks, with towers protruding from the walls at regular intervals. According to former slaves who had escaped from the city before, the bronze harpy head on the city walls could spray boiling oil on enemies. And the most impressive thing about this city are the tall pyramids.

"It looks sturdy, but I don't think the city will last us long. With that, Ryan ordered ten gunboats to go out of the harbor and sink all the ships that tried to escape. The other five gunboats covered the transports for landing on the edge of the wilderness outside the city.

When they landed in Ryan, there was also a lot of chaos on the city walls. You can see many soldiers wearing bronze scale armor and holding spears running around the fortifications.

Since this was a surprise attack, the city was not prepared at all. Ryan ordered 3,000 soldiers with 600 robots to sweep the slave estates in the suburbs and mountains, while freeing their enslaved compatriots. And he himself camped outside the city gate with 5,000 men.

It was an uneventful day, and Ryan needed time to free the slaves in the surrounding manors and mines, while the city was in chaos due to a surprise attack, and there was no way to deal with it for the time being. Three days passed in this standoff, and there were no clashes, except for the gunboats, which sank five or six ships trying to leave the port. The army that went to the countryside to liberate the slaves killed 1,200 slaves with zero casualties, and at the same time successively rescued more than 20,000 Lazarins and thousands of people of other nationalities who had been enslaved.

The freed slaves underwent a general medical examination and then were sent back to Raza by steamer, where some soldiers even went to find them. Their relatives who were taken captive a long time ago. This makes everyone's desire to fight stronger.

On the third day, the gates were opened. The pikemen came out of the city, lined up in a dozen squares, and slowly advanced towards Ryan's camp. At the same time, under the escort of the army, a group of slave owners dressed in silk sat on the seats of the city walls. Laughing and pointing at the Lazarins army beneath the city, as if watching an interesting play.

"Are they crazy?" the staff officers next to him showed expressions of disbelief. Everyone is now well aware of the power of the weapons they now hold in their hands, and the Lazarins who have been instilled with memories and faith are elite warriors. They couldn't understand why the army in Meereen would abandon the walls and run to their deaths. I can't understand why the rulers of these cities look at them like a play.

However, it was also good that the enemy was stupid, and soon Lazarin's army was also formed into a phalanx of companies. In the gaps in the phalanx are steam artillery robots or steam machine gun robots.

After the pikemen on the opposite side left the city gate some distance, Lazarin's army opened fire. The battlefield was immediately filled with white steam, and the dense array of spears was easily swept away by the projectiles fired by the steam machine guns, and the shells loaded with explosive cherries were projected by the steam cannons into the military formation and on the city walls, exploding flowers of flesh and blood.

Each soldier was equipped with an air gun capable of firing 20 rounds in bursts, and the effective range of this air gun was about 300 meters. A 13-mm projectile can penetrate a five-centimeter-thick plank at a distance of 300 meters. The soldiers gave this amazing weapon a poetic name: the Spear of the Wind.

They used their wind guns to easily knock down the fish that slipped through the smoke from a distance of one or two hundred meters, while the logistics soldiers shuttled back and forth between the shooters and the steam filling station, changing the gas cylinders for the shooters.

Finally, no one rushed out of the smoke anymore, and the Lazarin soldiers put down their rifles in some confusion. Although they knew how this kind of war should be fought in the memory injection, they really didn't expect that it could be so easy on the battlefield.

Before setting out, these soldiers actually set out on the battlefield with the determination to die. Because the perennial aggression has left a deep psychological shadow on them, this war is just with the idea of fighting to the death for the gods and their hometown, but they didn't expect victory to come so easily.

Finally, the smoke cleared, and the battlefield in front of the city gate was displayed in everyone's eyes: the corpses of pikemen in bronze armor fell to the ground in dense clusters, and many of them were completely wiped out in an instant. A large number of scattered limbs were scattered everywhere, and only a few lucky ones wandered the corpse-filled battlefield in despair.

The battlefield fell into absolute silence for a moment, until a gust of wind blew down the gates, which were full of bullet holes, revealing the seemingly chaotic streets of the city.

"Rush, rush in. "It would be a fool not to seize the opportunity at this time, and under the command of the officer, Lazarin's army quickly rushed through the unguarded gates. With the loss of most of the army and commanders, (the slave owners who ran to the city walls were almost completely wiped out in the first round of shelling, and by the way, the city was completely deprived of command.) With single-digit casualties, Lazarin's army completely wiped out the resistance in the city and occupied Meereen.

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

The answer was a bit laughable, that some of the slave owners had taken advantage of the chaos to enter the city during the attack on the surrounding slave plantations, and the people in the city, knowing that it was the Lazarins who had attacked them, arrogantly thought that the slaves had sent them to the door themselves. This is the practice of ordering the army to take the initiative and even run to the city wall to watch the play, in their eyes, this battle is just a beautiful gladiatorial fight. Their army could easily crush these Lazarins.

Unfortunately, Lane completely brought the Lazarins into the era of industrialization in a short period of time, and the outcome of the war was completely different from what the slave owners of Meereen imagined, and they became the side that was crushed by the wheels of history.

After the end of the war, Rose Crystal traveled here to absorb the ownerless faith in the Temple of Divine Grace with divine fire, and at the same time implanted the roots of his faith in the city. In the event of a miracle, within a week, most of the people of the city began to believe in the Rose Crystal, which occupies the position of the supreme god in the name of the Supreme Crystal.

One side effect of this is that the Rose Crystal can easily obtain enough information from the Believers to make it much easier to purge the rebels in the future.

After the rebels were wiped out, a large number of crash course administrators took over the city. The process of modernizing the city began.

The army marched south along the coastline, and the other slave city-states were as vulnerable as Meereen. In just two months, Yuankai, Astapor, and the city of Novogis, as well as a series of smaller settlements, were captured and controlled, even if they were ready for battle. Whether it's the loose mercenaries, the gritty Unsullied, or the elite legions of armored elephants in Syngis, they are all vulnerable to the dense rain of bullets of the new army. The thick walls of the city could not withstand the attacks of magic and artillery, not to mention that most of the slaves and defenders in the city were not of the same mind.

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

Finally, after completely taking care of the western part of Slave Bay with the four slave cities of Guise as the core, Ryan returned to Meereen, because there was something more important than war waiting for him.
