Chapter 45: The Evolution of Dragons

A mansion in Meereen.

Jack pried open Korakshu's mouth and reached out to touch the two "fuel pipes" inside his mouth.

When the "fuel injection pipe" was touched, Korakxiu's body trembled. It was obvious that the "fuel injection pipe" was very sensitive and fragile.

"Quiet, it's okay, believe me, Korac." Jack whispered to comfort Korac.

Then he continued to study the fuel injection pipe in Korakshu's mouth.

It is said that the dragon's flame is fire magic. In addition, the disappearance and appearance of magic coincide with the disappearance and appearance of the dragon, so this statement is generally recognized by the warlock community.

Jack didn't care about the connection between the dragon's appearance and the magical tide, but noticed an organ in the dragon's mouth.

Jack named this organ the fuel jet. The pair of fuel jets grew on both sides of the dragon's mouth. Korakshu's fuel jets were located a little further inside, while Drogon's were very obvious.

Jack had carefully observed the flamethrower of Korakshu and was certain that when it was breathing fire, some misty flammable gas would be sprayed out from the fuel pipe.

But Jack still hadn't figured out how Korakhuu ignited the gas.

Maybe it's bioelectricity, or maybe it's magic.

But no matter what the method was, it was enough to make Jack marvel at creatures like dragons.

In the past, many biologists studied why animals on the blue planet did not evolve the ability to breathe fire.

After all, in the prehistoric era of biological evolution explosion, fire could be said to be the most powerful "weapon" on earth.

The most widely spread and most accepted statement is that the cost-effectiveness of evolving the fire-breathing function is too low, because if you want to breathe fire, you must evolve large enough lung capacity, fuel injectors and fuel tanks.

A complex evolutionary process has caused animals to give up the ability to breathe fire.

But the dragons in Game of Thrones, although they are nuclear-level air forces, are simply pterosaurs that can breathe fire, which is very different from the dragons in mythology and legends.

This made Jack very interested in the evolution process of dragons. According to the legend, dragons were transformed by the Valyrians using blood magic and pterosaurs.

Jack scoffed at this. He didn't believe that the Valyrians, a small nomadic people, could have such advanced blood magic.

For a civilization like nomads that depend on the weather for their food, they would be lucky to have enough to eat. How could they have the time to study such advanced blood magic?

Unfortunately, Jack himself is not a biologist, and there is no such advanced technological civilization to support Jack's research.

Reluctantly letting go of Korakhuu, Jack patted the cage and ordered, "Enter!"

Without any hesitation, Korakxiu got into the wooden cage directly. Although the wooden cage had no binding force, for Korakxiu, the real binding force came from the owner, not the wooden cage.

"Great, good boy!" Jack rubbed Korakxiu's head, then opened the wooden cage and let Korakxiu out.

At this moment, an Unsullied came in and said, "Your Majesty, we have already done what you requested. We have collected a total of 1,126 knives, and all 300 Unsullied have already infiltrated the city."

"Okay, hide your weapons and wait. It won't be long before we get news from Yunkai."

Sure enough, that afternoon, the news that Yunkai had been conquered by Daenerys reached Meereen.

The nobles of Meereen held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Dany, who had nine thousand Unsullied and an unknown number of slave soldiers.

In the end, everyone gave up the idea of ​​hiring soldiers. The hiring fee for mercenaries was too expensive. An ordinary mercenary needed about 100 gold dragons to participate in the war, and senior officers needed even more.

The walls of Meereen are tall and strong enough, there are enough slave soldiers in the city, and there are many gladiators who can also join the battle. Relying on the city walls, they are not afraid of Dany.

The last step was to build walls and clear the fields, burn down the manors and farms outside the city with fire, and destroy all available resources including food and cash crops, leaving no resources for the Mother of Dragons.

After the discussion, everyone immediately started to act. Everyone was fully prepared, except for forgetting the sewers of Meereen.

On the other side, after conquering Yunkai, Dany freed nearly 300,000 slaves. Everyone held Dany high in their hands and shouted "Mother" loudly.

Dany enjoys the feeling of being relied upon by everyone, and also enjoys the pride of being admired and surrounded by everyone.

But after enjoying herself, she still had to consider reality. After making sure that tens of thousands of people were willing to leave with her, Dany gritted her teeth and carried these burdens with her, even though she knew that this would put a huge pressure on logistics.

Dany's army, which had expanded several times, advanced much slower. The total distance from Meereen to Yunkai was 163 miles.

As Dany continued to get closer to Meereen, she became more and more angry. Every mile along the way, a slave child was nailed to the cross and died tragically.

Jorah came to Dany and said, "Your Majesty, Meereen has adopted the tactic of erecting walls and clearing the countryside. All the slave farms around have been burned to ashes. There is no supplies left."

Dany's chest rose and fell slightly. She had never expected that the slave owner of Meereen would be so ruthless.

The Meereenese nobles' building of walls and clearing of the countryside undoubtedly greatly increased the logistical pressure on Daenerys' army. Before, she brought these new free people with her just to plunder the manors along the way, but she didn't expect that Meereen would directly build walls and clear of the countryside.

"It's okay. Although our logistics pressure is great, it is not unbearable. After conquering Meereen, we can still get supplies."

"After we liberate the three cities in Slaver's Bay, we can take Jack's ship across the sea to attack Westeros and take back the Iron Throne that belongs to me!"

Jorah's face turned red when he heard this. As a man, and a veteran bootlicker, he naturally understood what it meant that the cunning Jack was willing to lend Dany a warship.

Unfortunately, he was not there that day, and the "drunk" Queen fell into Jack's trap and lost her body.

The journey would have taken only a few days, but Dany's army took more than a week to reach Meereen.

After setting up camp not far away, Daenerys led the vanguard troops to the city of Meereen.

At this time, the city walls were already filled with nobles who came to watch the show, and a large number of slave soldiers were preparing city defense equipment.

At this time, the gate of Meereen slowly opened a crack, and then a mounted warrior rushed out and came to Dany.

"This is the tradition of Meereen, sending out their strongest gladiators in the arena to fight one-on-one with the enemy. This is a good way to boost morale and intimidate the enemy." Jorah explained.

At this time, Jack in the stands was watching the urinating gladiator, mocking Dany. How could a rootless army led by a woman dare to attack Meereen?
