Chapter 0664: Priest Dies, Mother of Dragons Escapes
(Make up for Saturday's arrears and today's guarantee, and the two chapters are combined into one.) )
Kito saw Jogo beheaded by Hardy in the distance, and his heart ached.
Among the Dothraki, the beheaded soul cannot rest and gallop in heaven on horseback.
This is the heaviest punishment, and the most taboo among the Slavs, and is unacceptable.
Hardy used to be Drogo Kao's cole, and he was familiar with Jogo and the others. But he has always hated Daenerys, believing that Daenerys has broken many of the rules of the Dothraki, and all the Dothraki around Daenerys are hated by Hardy.
As soon as Drogo Kao died, Hardy was no longer afraid of anyone, he led his cavalry to leave first, and made his name on the grassland, and after several vicious battles, he swallowed up several of Kao Jr.'s legions, and his legions more than doubled in strength.
Puff puff!
The sound of arrows plunging into the body sounded cruelly!
Several cavalry brothers from the other direction were chased and shot down by Hardy's cavalry.
Hadi's cavalry team was fully visible on the grassland, with 20,000 cavalry, and there was no end in sight.
All over the mountains were Hadi's cavalry, and the roar of horses' hooves made the ground tremble, and the shouts were earth-shattering.
Kito didn't dare to stay, and gave up his life to beat his horse and gallop.
Behind him, several cavalry saw Kito and roared after him.
The Dothraki were very good riders and were accustomed to chasing their enemies until they were exhausted, and then hunting.
As Kito fled, he turned back, and he gradually realized that he was the only one left in Jogo's team. The brothers who fled in the rest of the directions to attract the enemy were shot one by one, and none of them escaped.
Kitto saw cavalry appearing on his left and right flanks, and made a roundabout move.
Hadi's cavalry was to surround Gito.
Kitto was surprised that the opposing cavalry had too many cavalry, occupied too long a battle line, and could not bypass the enemy with a slash in the stab. At present, the only way to escape is to flee head-on in the only direction: the south.
Kitto drew his short knife and slammed it into the horse's stock. The war horse was in great pain, like an arrow from the string, roaring out, and soon distanced itself from the cavalry behind it. Seeing this, a cavalry captain behind him knew that he could not catch up with Kitto, and restrained his horse.
The other two cavalry continued to pursue, expecting their flanked comrades to complete the encirclement, before Kitto could break out of the encirclement.
Gitto leaned down and clinged to his horse's back, throwing away everything that was superfluous, water and food, to ease the burden on the horse. The short knife was inserted into the horse's thigh, and the horse's hind legs were gradually stained red with blood. But under the urging of the master, the war horse and the master had the same heart, and they gave up their lives to gallop.
Woooo
Arrows began to shoot from both sides, but the speed of the horses was too fast, and the distance between the opponents was too far, and the arrows fell behind them.
Gradually, the encirclement on the left and right sides was surpassed by Kito, and the whip in his hand whipped the war horse, the war horse whistled, the snort sounded like thunder, and in the frantic gallop, Kito rushed out, and the encirclement of the Hardy cavalry failed.
Finally, amid the shouts, the cavalry behind Kito and on the left and right sides slowed down. Slowly, Hardy's cavalry finally reined in their horses, and watched as Kito grew smaller and smaller in front of him, and finally turned into a small black dot, melting into the green of the prairie.
Kito looked back and saw that there were no more cavalry chasing him, slowly loosened the reins of the horse, let the horse slow down first, he threw away the whip, drew the short knife on the horse's stock, waved it away, and then continued to urge the horse forward.
When it was dark the next day, Kito saw the dark shadow of Dragonstone Mountain, and his mouth was dry, and he was in good spirits, and he shouted at the horses to continue running. Behind him, there was a faint voice of Hardy's cavalry, and it was hard to hear. Maybe it's an auditory hallucination, maybe it's Hardy's people who really followed the trail. The Dothraki have the ability to track the enemy in the steppe, they can follow the horse's hooves on the steppe, accurately pursue the enemy's hiding place, and if the enemy gets up and runs away again, they will continue to follow until the enemy can no longer run.
The first to discover the return of Kito was the vigilant scout on the top of Dragonstone Mountain.
On the top of a high hill, they spotted a horse coming in the night, but they could not tell whether they were friend or foe.
The scouts issued a warning order, and orders were passed down one after another, and the cavalry at the foot of the mountain soon received the news, and a small group immediately mounted their horses and met the dark shadow.
"I'm Kieto!" shouted Kieto, who hadn't eaten for more than a day, but he found his voice extremely weak. The horse also began to shake, and the knife stuck in the horse's stock caused the horse to bleed too much. It is a miracle that one man and one horse can last two days and one night in a continuous and powerful run.
The horses were hungry and could eat grass and water, but Kitto threw away all the food and had nothing but an Arac scimitar. Even the short knife inserted in the horse's stock was also pulled out and thrown away.
"Stop!" the cavalry in front of him gave a warning sound, and the sound of Arrak's scimitar unsheathed rang out.
The sound of bowstrings also sounded, and some cavalrymen drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the black shadow.
The torches were lit, and the captain and two brothers stepped forward, and the rest of the brothers were on guard, and they ran close to see Kito, whose face was blue, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were gray, and he was exhausted.
"Gito!"
“...... Captain...... To Her Majesty the Queen...... Hadikao's army is coming to ......"
"How many?" the squad leader's face changed.
Hardy's cruelty, known on the prairie. He was the most violent cole under Drogo Kao.
"More than 20,000. ”
The hearts of the soldiers shook, and they let out a soft 'huh' sound. Her Majesty's three-headed dragon has not returned since it left. Her Majesty, who has lost her dragon, will not be able to hold back more than 20,000 Slavic cavalry. At present, there are less than 300 cavalry under Longshi Mountain.
"Where's Jogo?"
There was a look of pain in Gito's eyes: "Jogo was beheaded by Hardy!"
"What?" said the team leader, surprised.
The rest of the brothers were horrified, and everyone scolded bitterly.
Dothraki, killing each other, generally does not cut off the other's head, that is tradition, unless there is a deep hatred.
In the darkness in the distance, black shadows appeared, and these shadows began to become dense, and quickly extended to both sides, fanning to cover this side. Looking at this form, their goal is to surround the entire Dragonstone Mountain.
Kito took the water handed over by his brothers, and the war horse under him couldn't hold on at first and began to shake, and Kito jumped off the horse, staggering. By the time he stood up straight, the horse had collapsed, foaming at the mouth, his legs trembling spasmodically, and his eyes looked at Kitto for help. Under the reflection of the torches, the eyes of the war horse seemed to overflow with tears.
The war horses on the steppe are used to running long distances, and they will be fine. Kitto's horses were unable to make it to the end because of blood loss.
"Get on the horse, let's go back quickly. The captain stretched out his hand to take hold of Kito, lifted it hard, and with the help of his horse, he looked back at his beloved horse as if he was about to speak to him, turned his head, and everyone raised their torches and galloped towards the military tent at the foot of the mountain.
Hadikao arrived in the darkness of the night, followed by two of his most capable coars: Heywood and Peggy.
"Heywood, take a thousand horsemen and go around to the east side of this hill. ”
"Hardikao, I've heard that Daenerys has a three-headed dragon. Heywood reminded.
"Heywood, I've heard about it too, but we're approaching this hill, have you ever seen a throbbing of a war horse?"
"Kao, we should still be cautious. It doesn't matter if you kill a Jogo, but it's best to send a scout to pretend to pay Daenerys a gift and find out if Daenerys has a real dragon. Heywood said.
"Heywood, if Daenerys had a three-headed dragon, do you think we'd still get close to this without being spotted by the dragon?" Hardy laughed.
A cold sweat broke out on Heywood's back, and he didn't dare to say any more, and Hardy's smile was often a prelude to his penchant for killing.
Heywood led a thousand cavalry to the east of the hill.
"Pei Ji, you lead a thousand cavalry to the west of the hill. ”
"Yes, Kao. "Pei Ji is a big beard with a lot of bells in his hair. Every bell is a life he kills the enemy, and it is also a medal of honor. Peiji rarely spoke, and when he did, it was when his Arak scimitar was unsheathed.
Pei Ji led a thousand cavalry to the west of the hill.
"The order went down, and a thousand horsemen lit their torches, and went with me head-on to the foot of this hill, to meet Carrisie Daenerys Targaryen on our prairie. Hardy shouted.
Hardy has always coveted Daenerys' beauty, but due to Prairie traditions, he can't touch Daenerys as Kao. After Kao's death, Kao's wives were all sent to the Holy City to become Doshkarin, the prophets of the steppes, in the tower of Doshkarin's Roundhouse.
Many of the dead Kao, their wives formed an organization of old ladies in Doshikarin in the Holy City. They are permanent residents of the holy city of Vistoslak. In Dothraki, they enjoyed supreme glory and status, serving as prophets of the future and interpreting signs for Dothraki. Served by eunuchs.
No matter how bold and cruel Hardy was, he didn't dare to blaspheme a Doshikarin. After the death of Drogo Kao, Daenerys did not go to the Holy City to become a Doshikarin, but went east and became a queen of fame. But as soon as she returns to the steppe and learns of her existence, the Kao, who are obliged to take her to the holy city of Vess, and hand her over to the organization of the old women of Doshikarin, so that she can return and become a Doshikarin, and live in the holy city for the rest of her life, and never set foot in the holy city again.
After Hadi's order was passed down, the cavalry scattered in a line lit torches one after another, and suddenly, on the grassland, a thousand torches lit up the night sky.
"Go ahead!" Hardy shouted.
The cavalry marched at an even pace, their horses' hooves striking the ground, shattering the silence of the steppe, and the tremor of the ground spread far and wide, and also under Daenerys's tent.
In Daenerys's military tent, Victalion's face was cold: "Archpriest Machiro, didn't your flames tell you that we would be attacked tonight?"
That's also the question Daenerys and Dario have to ask.
Daenerys was furious by Jogo's tragic death, but there was nothing she could do now, none of the three dragons were there, and the enemy's torches were densely packed and lined up in a long line, blocking all the roads in the north.
"I didn't get to see tonight's attack in the flames. "Maybe the Red God has alerted me at some point, but I didn't notice the vision of the flames. ”
"What should we do now, priest, my children have not returned, and Hadikao is cruel and bloodthirsty, with twenty thousand cavalry, and we have less than two hundred. Daenerys said.
"Your Majesty, this may be your doom, but I know that you will be okay in the end, Hadi will not dare to harm you, according to the tradition of the steppe, he is just going to take you to the Holy City, according to the ancient teachings, to the Doshikarins of the Holy City. In Hadi's mind, you will soon become an official Doshikarin, and Doshikarin, the prophet of the Dothraki people, holds the highest status and unblasphemous authority. ”
"Priest, did you actually know about this attack and that Jogo would die?" Daenerys stared at Machiro like a sword. Before that, Daenerys had been convinced of Machiro's prophetic abilities.
Marchiro looked at Daenerys calmly: "Your Majesty, the night is long, and everywhere is sinister...... In my prophecy, it will be smooth for you to conquer Dothraki on your own dragon, but your Prime Minister, Minister of Intelligence, and Captain of the Kingsguard will want me to accompany you, and you will send a troop of 300 Kas to protect your safety on the ground. All of this is beyond the prophetic warnings I have seen. ”
"Pastor, you are my national teacher, and you are by my side to help me warn and avoid danger. Daenerys accentuated.
Archpriest Macchiro said, "Your Majesty, you are not in danger. ”
Daenerys was stunned by his answer!
She's not in danger?
What about her soldiers and generals, and what about the Blood Alliance? Machiro didn't know about Hadi's cruelty!
"Priest, I order you now, you have to find a way to get us out of here, and I won't allow my people to be killed by Hardy again. Daenerys exclaimed, "If you don't, I won't go to the Great Wall of Desperation to fight the Wraiths." We need your magical powers now. “
Macchiro's originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp. His mission is to do everything possible to get Daenerys to lead troops to the north of Westeros to fight the Strangers and save the Terrans from the apocalypse.
"I swear to you, Archpriest Machiro, I need your help now, and you must find a way to get us safe, or I will not go to the Great Wall of Desperation, and I will not go to the north to fight the Strangers. ”
Dario pulled out the Arak scimitar and the rapier at his waist, touched the sword, and said with a smile: "Priest, don't you even care about your own life and death? Do you want Her Majesty to be taken into the Holy City by Hardy without danger, and then let Hadi kill all of us, including yourself?"
Macchiro bowed his head slightly, as if thinking about something, and finally said: "Your Majesty, Hadicao is coming slowly, and he is not in a hurry to charge, I guess he has arranged elite cavalry in the east and west, we want to break out, and the safest thing is to go south." We came from the south, and we knew that there were no other legions along the way. Just the direction of the sea will take us away from our destination, the holy city. ”
"Give the order to go down and go south. Daenerys walked out as fast as she could, "Tell the soldiers, drop everything, get on your horse, and break through to the south." ”
Victarion stared at Archpriest Machiro: "Priest, you couldn't have predicted this attack, do you want our lives to sacrifice our lives for the Araq scimitar? Victalion spat at Macchiro's feet.
Dario had already snatched out the tent and mounted his horse: "Your Majesty, please allow me to charge the battle, you go first." Under the light of the torches, Dario was smiling, handsome and dashing, with his sword in his hand, his wrist turning, and the sword dangling with light and shadow.
Victor Talion also got out of the tent first, got on his horse, and shouted: "Dario, your small body is still suitable to protect Her Majesty, and you can only rely on my axe to charge the battle." “
Daenerys shouted, "No one is allowed to charge, everyone retreats to the south." ”
With a roar, more than 100 cavalry roared out and galloped rapidly to the south.
"Her Majesty. Macchiro appeared at the mouth of the tent, his calm expression contained a complicated look, "I will stay behind to repay Your Majesty's kindness, and I implore Her Majesty to keep his promise that after crossing the sea, he must go to the north to fight the strange spirits." ”
Daenerys, Victorion, and Dario looked at Machiro together.
"Aren't you going to withdraw with us?"
"Only if I stay can I stop Hadi's cavalry. Your Majesty, there's no time left, let's go!"
"Let's go!" Daenerys shouted. She raised her whip, and with a snap of the void exploded, and the horse galloped out, and Dario immediately followed. Victalion shouted with a heavy axe, "Marchiro, come with me." ”
"If we all leave, none of us will be able to leave. "Viktarion, if you are lucky enough not to die this time, promise me that you will remind Her Majesty to go to the north to fight the strangers and save the people." ”
"Her Majesty won't listen to me. Victorion shrugged, "Marchiro, did you see in your prophecy how I would die?"
"I am a priest, a servant of the little Red God, and my prophecy is only a fragment of the future message, and I cannot string together the fragments of the prophecy to see the whole of the future. Let's go and protect Her Majesty. “
Victalion laughed: "Marchiro, you are the strangest guy I have ever met, I wish you good luck, and I hope you can hold off Hadicao for us a little longer." He clamped his legs, and with a roar, the last of his horses rushed out.
When Victor chose to leave the sea, he had already put life and death on the line.
Victalion is a real tough guy! But if he and Dario dare to charge the cavalry of the Dothraki, they will definitely be shot into hedgehogs if they don't get close!
The Dothraki fought first with long-range arrows, and then with hand-to-hand combat.
Arrows rain down, and no brave man can get close. Shields and armor protect knights, but they can't protect horses. Horses with heavy armor could hardly stop the Dothraki dense long arrows.
To the north, not far away, the sound of horses' hooves had exploded, and a thousand torches pulled out their tail flames like meteors and pursued them in this direction.
Macchiro walked out slowly, standing in the middle of the camp, facing the thousand cavalry rushing in front of him, these elite cavalry wielding Arrak's scimitar, in his eyes, were all the strength and heroes who would rush to the frozen ground of the north to fight against the strange spirits...... It's just that the cruel Hardy, he won't spare anyone but Daenerys......
"I swear to you, Archpriest Machiro, that if you don't take us safely, I won't go to the Great Wall of Desperation, and I won't go north to fight the strangers. Daenerys's voice rang in Machiro's ears, and Daenerys's face appeared in front of Machiro, and Her Majesty's expression was as cold as the edge of a sword.
Knowing that he would encounter death if he went ashore, Machiro chose to go ashore, and his goal was to convince Daenerys to go to the north to fight the Strangers, and he had already knelt down to Daenerys and swore allegiance before going ashore. He said that Daenerys would go ashore to conquer the Dothraki, but if he himself avoided danger and refused to go ashore, the little devil, Varys, and Barristan would not allow Daenerys to go ashore, and without the three hundred Cass tribesmen following, Her Majesty's courtiers would not allow Her Majesty to go ashore, but Maciro knew that to fight the Wraiths and seize the Iron Throne, the queen whom he had sworn allegiance would need the strength of the Dothraki cavalry......
Hardy's Korhewood led his troops to the east side of the hill to ambush, and he ordered the cavalry to disperse, but not in formation.
The Dothraki are fighting, and there are no various tight formations on the continent of Westeros, and at the first order, everyone can only move forward.
After Heywood's cavalry was in place, he only blocked the east in vain, and did not take the initiative to encircle and attack Daenerys. Heywood feared Daenerys' dragons, he hadn't seen them with his own eyes, but he was convinced that all the rumors about Daenerys were true.
And to the west, another Kopeiji immediately ordered a cavalry attack as soon as he was in place. On the grass on the west side of the hill, a thousand torches were suddenly lit, and under the light of the torches, the cavalry charged in the direction of the hill.
Almost at the same time, under the hill, a flash of fire rushed out and headed straight to the south, this firelight team was extremely fast, and hundreds of torches pulled out a tail flame of light.
"Pursuit!" Pei Ji gave the order, and took the lead, turning his horse's head to the right, the torches of the cavalry behind him burning like a galaxy of fire, shouting as he pursued Daenerys' team.
Boom!
There was a bang, and in front of Pei Ji, on the grassland, a huge fireball suddenly burst out, and the fireball rose into the air, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. Pei Ji's war horse was frightened, and the man stood up and tossed Pei Ji to the ground. Pei Ji's guards were also frightened, turned around and fled, crashing into their own ranks, and the ranks were in chaos.
Shout!
A line of fire swam like a snake in the steppe, blocking the path of Peiji's cavalry. Through the firelight, the cavalry could see that Daenerys' small legion was rapidly moving away, and the tail flame of the flaming light was getting farther and farther away......
Hardy, who led his troops to the foot of Dragonstone Mountain, saw a very tall figure standing in the camp. As he approached, he saw a tall monk in a robe, whose skin was as black as night in the light of the fire, and his face and hands were covered with tattoos of flames.
"Hey, monk, is Daenerys in the fleeing group?" said Hardy.
Hardy is kind and pleasant, and there is nothing terrible about it. But those who knew his character were afraid of Hardy's laughter.
The monk did not answer Hadi's words and faced it in silence. This made Hardy's smile even more pleasant, and he slowly drew Arrak's cutlass and said to one of the Blood Alliance guards beside him, "Take five hundred men to chase Daenerys, capture her, and kill the rest." ”
"Yes, Kao. Blood Alliance Guard said.
The Blood Alliance Guard chased after him with five hundred cavalry, and Hardy rode towards Machiro. With a flash of his scimitar, Arak slashed at Machiro. With a thud, Machiro's head flew up, and the man fell, but there was no blood splattered, and the figure fell, and there was no sound of the body hitting the ground.
Hardy immediately felt that something was wrong, and he slashed out, hitting the monk's neck, but the blade did not transmit any anti-shock force, as if a knife was slashed into the air. In the midst of the detachment, a small fireball appeared out of thin air and shot at Hardy's face. In Hardy's horrified eyes, the fireball instantly became extremely huge, and it swept Hardy into it at once.
Hardy let out a scream, and the horse under his crotch was also swept into the fireball, and the horse neighed and rushed into chaos, rushing the team into a mess. Countless horses were frightened and fled one after another. The cavalry shouted loudly, could not control it, and fell to the ground.
Hadikao and his horses howled and neighed in the fire, and did not die quickly. The cavalrymen were all horrified, dumbfounded, and could not think about it. The Blood Alliance guards, who had been ordered to pursue Daenerys, heard the miserable howl and turned back, and when they saw Hardy's scene, they were shocked, and immediately reined in their horses, and the cavalry stopped one after another, looking back at the burning men and fire horses rushing in the ranks, and the soldiers were stunned and at a loss.
"Dark magic, catch the monk. Another of Kao's Blood Allies shouted. When the fireball appeared out of thin air, he rushed over, only to find that the place where the monk had fallen was nothing more than an empty robe, and the monk was gone.
Another Blood Alliance guard brandished Arrak's scimitar and shouted, "Grab the monk, brothers, disperse, catch the monk." ”
The frightened cavalry gradually stabilized the frightened horses, and under the command of the two Blood Alliance guards, they scattered, surrounded the barracks tents, and then closed the encirclement, looking for the mysterious and terrifying monk who would emit flames one by one.
Macchiro didn't go far, the red god he believed in was the god of fire and shadow, and he could escape by night, but these people were bound to chase Daenerys, at most before dawn, they would catch up with Daenerys and his party. Blood Guards who lose Kao must commit suicide, this is the rule of Blood Guards. If Kao dies, three of his Blood Alliance guards will have to commit suicide after avenging Kao, or after sending Kao's wife to the holy city of Vess.
Kao died, and if there was no need for the Blood Guardian to do it on his behalf, the Blood Guardian must commit suicide immediately.
If the mortal Blood Alliance Guards lose the first goal of the vengeful monks, then the first thing they have to do is to capture Daenerys and avenge Hadikao. They weren't Kao, and there were a lot of old rules that didn't have to be followed, such as humiliating Daenerys Targaryen. They are mortal people, their hearts are different, and with uncontrolled anger, it is possible to kill even Daenerys together. Hadikao's Blood Alliance was not obligated to bring Drogokao's widow to the Holy City.
Machiro can't let the Blood Alliance Guard chase Daenerys for revenge!
He decided to stay and attract all the hatred!
In the Dothraki Sea, if Daenerys loses her guard in pursuit and has no dragons by her side, she will fall into the hands of herdsmen, cavalrymen, bandits, mercenaries, and merchants, and most likely will not end well. Her beauty is unparalleled is her original sin.
Machiro was spotted in a tent by a cavalryman, and he immediately disappeared into the darkness, but the cavalry's shouts attracted more cavalry, and a Blood Alliance guard heard the shout and led a team to arrive.
Hundreds of arrows crept into the darkness, several of which landed in Macchiro's body. Unable to hide his body with magical powers, he revealed, and more arrows shot at him, turning Macchiro into a hedgehog.
The other two Blood Alliance guards rode over, and Machiro did not fall, but stood with his eyes unsteady.
The torch was thrown over, illuminating Machiro in the darkness, making it impossible for him to hide.
The three Blood Alliance guards and cavalrymen all saw Machiro, with arrows on his shoulders, head, chest, and legs. , his chest heaved and his shirt was stained red with blood, but he was still alive.
One of the Blood Alliance guards rode over, raising his scimitar to cut off Machiro's head. Suddenly, there was a bang, and the Blood Alliance Guard's face was hit by a small fireball, and he rolled over and fell off his horse. With two bangs, two more small fireballs hit the faces of the other two Blood Alliance Guards, and the two of them fell in response.
With a bang, the three Blood Alliance Guards were instantly enveloped in bright and brilliant flames, burning violently, and the three humanoid candles opened their teeth and claws, jumping and running wildly in the screams, but they didn't run far, they fell to the ground one by one, the fire burned wildly on their bodies, and the flames were like dancing elves, conjuring up colorful and terrifying.
Archpriest Macchiro also fell.
Kill three Blood Alliance Guards, and never worry about chasing down Daenerys.
Macchiro kept his promise!
Daenerys asked him to take Her Majesty's people safely, otherwise he wouldn't go to the Great Wall of Desperation, and he wouldn't go to the north to fight the Strangers, and he did it. He sacrificed himself to cover Daenerys and the others to go first.
When the three Blood Alliance guards were quickly burned into a small fire, two Kou led their troops to arrive.
Heywood was silent, his expression grim.
Peggy was more pragmatic than Heywood, glancing at the small fire of the three Blood Alliance guards, and immediately led his troops away, in the opposite direction to Daenerys leaving. After Hadikao's death, he left behind 20,000 cavalry, and Peji and Heywood were the two most powerful of them.
Heywood had no intention of becoming Kao, Heywood thought that Daenerys would make a comeback with her, and Her Majesty would threaten all Kao on the prairie, but she didn't know why she didn't see the three-headed inseparable dragon that Her Majesty rumored was here.
What happened to Daenerys?
Did the people who swore to him that they had seen Daenerys' dragon deceive Heywood?
Heywood looked up in the direction Daenerys had left, and he ordered, "Go back, let's go to the Holy City." ”
