One second, Drogo's expression remained calm, but the next second, his expression suddenly changed.
Because the Dothraki do not have a fixed residence and wander around, they dig a hole and lie down in it, using straw mats as the ceiling. Therefore, ordinary Dothraki do not have many opportunities to come into contact with kerosene. They rest after dark.
Now, I won’t wake up until dawn.
As a Khal, Drogo has his own golden-domed tent, and his living expenses are naturally different from those of ordinary Dothraki. He is usually exposed to things like kerosene.
Now he finally smelled what the pungent smell in the air was, and then he lowered his head, and his dark and deep eyes suddenly tightened.
He saw this black and slightly sticky substance all over the ground under his feet. When he raised his feet, his feet and horsehair leggings had been stained with this substance at some point.
At the same time, there were some bundles of weeds and firewood on the ground. The Dothraki initially thought that this was because the Andalus army was at the end of its rope, so they pulled out all the baggage trucks of their own army and pushed them at the front, so naturally they showed no mercy.
They trampled the haystacks and firewood into pieces.
But now these weeds and firewood are stuck together with the dark, sticky substance on the ground.
The horses' hooves were chaotic and noisy, and there were corpses scattered everywhere under their feet. Perhaps the Dothraki had noticed this, but they didn't take it to heart.
"Os!"
Drogo was surrounded and retreated to the back of the formation, but his expression suddenly became tense. He had already sensed Viserys's conspiracy. There were fuels and accelerants all over the place. If they were ignited...
The consequences may be unimaginable.
The body of the terrifying Dothraki warrior couldn't help but tremble slightly. Drogo, who had massacred, plundered, and raped without even blinking, suddenly felt an emotion called fear gradually spreading in his heart.
Wow——
Then he turned over and sat on the war horse, the bronze belt made a sound, Drogo tore off the horsehair leggings stained with kerosene, and then roared loudly.
"Os!"
This is the meaning of 'stop' in Dothraki, which also means to retreat. However, Dothraki does not have a specific word for retreat, just as there is no 'deal' in the Dothraki language, only 'gift'.
and 'return'.
Khal Drogo suddenly ordered a retreat, and the two bloodriders following him didn't understand what was going on.
However, Kaa's order was unquestionable, and two bloodriders immediately conveyed Kaa's order to the outside world.
"Os!"
"Ohos!"
On the chaotic battlefield, Kaa's order to retreat suddenly came, and at the same time Kaa's bloodriders also requested that the horn of the entire army be blown to retreat.
However, it was already too late at this moment.
...
"set fire!"
Viserys sat on his horse and gave the order to light the fire that had been prepared for a long time.
It was Drogo that Viserys had been waiting for. As long as Drogo did not show up, Viserys kept firmly suppressing the order in hand and did not issue it.
Because all of Viserys' goals were to kill him, and even fighting this battle was to take off the head of this fateful enemy, even if many soldiers were sacrificed.
But now, Drogo finally appeared in front of the formation. Now that the target had entered the urn, the little king finally stopped suppressing and ignited the fire.
Countless arrows infected with kerosene were ignited, and then they were all fired at the rear of the Dothraki. When the Andalos army dropped the kerosene, they deliberately separated a blank area and divided the Dothraki army.
, and at the same time, to avoid burning yourself in the narrow terrain of this ruined city.
Although it is inevitable that it will still be brought to a certain point, it is no longer important compared to the outcome of the war.
"The wind direction is just right today."
The white horse mane spread out in the wind, as gorgeous as snowflakes. Viserys sat on the war horse, his handsome face remained unruffled, but it was hard to say that his heart was completely unruffled.
The five fingers are covered with steel and reflect dazzling light in the morning sun.
Click——
Then they held each other tightly.
This is the first time the young king has commanded a war of this scale in the name of Viserys III Targaryen.
Unlike the previous naval battle at Storm's End, this time he was responsible for the command independently, and Oberyn, Prince of Dorne, only played a supporting role.
This is also the fruit of countless small battles he has honed over the past few years, including familiarizing himself with the family history of various nobles, summarizing and absorbing experience from history, and finally bearing fruit.
"The Battle of the Blackwater in the War of Conquest was a fire that destroyed nearly 55,000 soldiers of King Laurent Lannister of Casterly Rock and King Menn Gardener IX of the Reach in Goldentree City."
He did not dare to say how much he knew about the art of warfare or warfare. There were many, many more powerful people in the world than him, but Viserys had never underestimated his enemies.
From the moment he dealt with Drogo, he adopted a life-threatening attitude and worked up all night to figure out how to kill the opponent.
But Drogo obviously didn't think highly of him on the first day of battle.
It was the same even the next day. He felt that this was a flock of sheep that was about to collapse, but they just held on for a while longer.
"Prepare armor!"
Then, Viserys turned around and asked the heavy cavalry behind him to start putting on their armor.
Now the time to harvest the fruits of victory has finally arrived, and the heavy cavalry team built by the little king at a cost of more than two thousand golden dragons will also come into play for the first time.
This heavy cavalry team includes one hundred and eight knights, ninety-nine attendants, nineteen mounted archers, a trumpeter and a dedicated farrier.
Wow——
All the most elite knights in Andalos heard Viserys's order. Then with the help of their attendants, they quickly put on their own armor. The strongest horses beside them also began to be covered with heavy horse armor.
"Finally it's our turn."
"It's time to give these crumbly eggs a taste of stone!"
The captain of the heavy cavalry, Ser Evan of Rhoynar, carried a double-edged battleaxe on his shoulders, and the knights were all gearing up.
In the past two days of fierce fighting, they had never had the chance to participate in the battle. Now they could finally participate in the battle and teach these Dothraki some unforgettable and profound lessons.
…
And among the Dothraki.
This fire came unexpectedly.
"Fire the arrow!"
As orders came from the rear of the Andalus front, countless Andalus archers behind the front, including on the ruins of the cities on both sides, were already ready.
Wow——
Archers from Andalus came out from all directions. They soaked their arrows in kerosene, lit them in the fire, and shot them before the flames burned the arrow shafts.
Bang bang bang——
The bowstring made a sound, and a hail of flaming arrows flew into the sky.
Then he quickly fell down and headed straight towards the Ge Duohe Road that was covered with kerosene behind him.
