Game Of Thrones: The God-Emperor of Planetosm
Chapter 291 - 292 - The Golden Ruins of Yi Ti (III)
"What an unjust army, these are gods fighting mere mortals." Jaghatai's thoughts before the Blood Angels Legion and other legions.
-------
Jaghatai was about six feet three inches tall, with a shaved head and only a ponytail, and a beard around his mouth and lips. He looked stern, but also calm.
Looking at the reports before him, Jaghatai sighed, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes. Yi Ti was doomed. Perhaps people still thought they were the best, but government officials knew more than anyone that everything was about to be destroyed.
Of the hundred princes who acted as governors in their city-states, only twenty remained. Such a thing would be extremely good in the eyes of the God-Emperor, but after learning that eighty princes had been killed and the territory conquered by another Empire, the Emperor and public officials knew it was the beginning of the nightmare.
Just as they guessed, reports from various parts of the country arrived every day. Each one reporting the death of a prince or the loss of another important city. There wasn't even a single piece of good news.
Jaghatai had no doubt that he would end up dead. As a national hero, he would not survive. He was a danger factor that no ruler wanted him to live. Even the current God-Emperor Bu Gai did not let him touch military power for fear of a coup d'état.
A bitter laugh escaped Jaghatai's lips. The greatest pain of a talented general was not being able to show his bravery on the battlefield.
"General, urgent news, Yumeng has fallen!!!" A soldier wearing armor rushed into the office and spoke in a hurried and angry tone.
Jaghatai opened his eyes and showed a solemn look. Yumeng was the closest city to Yin, the empire's capital. If Yumeng fell, Yin was next.
"Any decree from the God-Emperor?" Jaghatai asked with a little hope in his voice. He wanted to die on the battlefield, but he couldn't command the army without the emperor's permission.
The soldier did not answer and only lowered his head.
Seeing this, Jaghatai laughed and understood what was happening. Even at this moment, the God-Emperor did not trust him. There was a deep desolation in the general's laugh. He would give his life for Yi Ti, but the emperor only saw interests and palace intrigues.
"How many soldiers do we have?" Jaghatai calmed down and asked in a cold tone.
"Five hundred soldiers." The soldier showed an excited look and replied in an anxious tone. There was no fear in the young soldier's eyes. "All ready to fight to the last breath, General!"
Jaghatai finally laughed, a sincere and powerful laugh. "Then let's ride one last time." He no longer hesitated, with the help of a soldier, he put on his armor and firmly held his spear.
He was prepared to die, to die like his ancestors, on the battlefield!

City of Yumeng.
Visenya, covered in blood, sat in the main seat. She played with a human head in her hands, tossing it up with a smile.
She usually wasn't so cruel, but after the Prince of Yumeng dared to speak vulgarities against her, the queen showed no mercy and tortured the man before beheading him.
Visenya's eyes stared at a girl with interest, it was the daughter of the Prince of Yumeng, Princess Chi Yue. The reason for Visenya's interest was simple, the girl looked at her with a cold and hateful gaze.
"I'm surprised, looking at your clothes, you are not valued, why do you look at me with hatred?" Tossing the head of the Prince of Yumeng on the floor, as if it were smooth, Visenya asked curiously.
"The duty of a son and daughter is to obey and respect their parents for our birth." The girl replied in a firm tone, her black eyes staring at Visenya with deep hatred.
"What stupid moral laws." Visenya commented with a sarcastic tone. She respected her mother, Rhaella. But if her mother were cruel, cold, and abusive, she would never love Rhaella. Sons and daughters should never be slaves to their parents.
Did she have to be grateful even if she was hurt and mentally abused? How crazy!
Suddenly, the girl's head separated from her body. The body remained kneeling while the head rolled across the white marble floor.
Visenya looked at Vulkan with a smile. "Have all the militiamen been killed?" She asked, choosing the most comfortable position in the seat. Unlike Westeros, the main seats of the lords looked more like a bed than a chair.
Visenya presumed if the people of Yi Ti liked masochists, sitting on their legs was too torturous.
"All twenty-five thousand soldiers have been killed." Vulkan, who had just killed the girl, spoke in a respectful tone.
Visenya couldn't help but admire the number of people Yi Ti possessed. They had gone through the Long Night, but the population was still enormous. A city having twenty-five thousand soldiers was totally insane by Westeros standards.
"Let's rest a few days and leave for Yin, the imperial city." Visenya said with a smile. She was increasingly curious about the supposed God-Emperor Bu Gai. Her husband would like the head of the false God-Emperor, right?
"Yes, my queen." Vulkan bowed and left, ready to announce Visenya's orders.
Visenya turned her gaze to one of the members of the Emperor's Daughters, the Emperor's intelligence organization, commanded by Daenerys.
"Prepare all the food in this place, I want to try the local cuisine." Visenya said with a smile. She had already eaten many things, but never the typical cuisine of Yi Ti.
"Yes, my queen." The woman bowed and quickly left, trying to prepare the food as much as possible.
In one of the palace rooms.
Sanguinius cleaned his armor with a wet cloth while Horus and Konrad were present in an awkward silence.
"What tension in the air." Sanguinius commented with an amused smile. "If you were a man and a woman, I would think you were in love."
As soon as these words sounded, a shadow spear passed dangerously close to Sanguinius's face while a fist sank into the wall behind the Primarch of the Blood Angels Legion.
Sanguinius wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke in a dry tone and showed surrender, raising his arms. "Just a joke, just a joke."
"Stop making such unfunny jokes." Horus said in a tone of reprimand, looking at one of the first Primarchs.
"You have a sense of humor similar to a rock and you want me to be the same…" Sanguinius murmured in a sad tone, but there was a deep determination in his eyes. He swore he would spread his jokes as much as possible, let the Imperium say he is talented.
Both heard Sanguinius's words, but chose to ignore him. Konrad was definitely an antisocial person, while Horus was an extremely disciplined and solemn man. If both laughed at Sanguinius's stupid jokes, the sun should rise in the north.
The awkward silence reappeared. Sanguinius let out a sad sigh and returned to cleaning his armor. After seeing that there was no more blood, he began to clean the Chainsword.
Cleaning the rotating blade, he noticed some pieces of human flesh, which he removed and threw away with a concentrated expression.
Vulkan entered the room and sat on one of the sofas, although it looked a little funny, as the sofa was made for normal-sized men, so when the Primarch sat down, the scene became a little funny.
Sanguinius wanted to laugh, but remembering the spear of darkness and Horus's punch earlier, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
"The queen has orders to stay a few days in Yumeng." Vulkan said in a solemn and calm tone. He ignored Sanguinius's trembling shoulders and focused on the three Primarchs present.
No one refused, Visenya was the commander of the entire military operation. She had the absolute power to dictate the rules while present in the army.
"Finally I can rest a bit, I heard the local cuisine is exotic." Sanguinius finished cleaning his Chainsword and spoke in an excited tone.
"Do you dare to eat those rats and bats?" Vulkan asked in a slightly curious tone. He saw the food in the stalls on one of the city streets, so he was surprised that Sanguinius would try those things.
"Why not? You only live once." Sanguinius shrugged and spoke in an amused tone.
"That phrase is always accompanied before someone does something crazy." Konrad said with a sarcastic tone.
Again, Sanguinius just shrugged and started humming, eager to eat the exotic foods.
