Daenerys, host now numbered 10,000 Unsullied and several thousand ill trained armed freedmen stronger, was superior, both numerically and qualitatively and could easily defeat the Yunkai army. Nevertheless Daenerys worried about the cost, extend an invitation to the slavers and the leaders of the sellsword companies to meet with her separately, trying to turn the sellsword over to her side and lure the Wise Masters of Yunkai to release the city slaves without a fight.
