Chapter 53: During the Imperial Council
The faces of the Dothraki are easily recognizable, and for the people of the world of Ice and Fire, it is as easy to distinguish as the appearance of Asians and Europeans, especially the long braids on their heads, which are unique.
But at the same time, the problem arises, although the Dothraki are easy to distinguish by their appearance, it is difficult to distinguish from each Dothraki individual to which Dothraki tribe "he" or "she" belongs.
The Dothraki have the same appearance and language, like the English, German, or Dutch Europeans, and unless they introduce themselves, they don't know which country the Europeans belong to.
In addition, many Dothraki people are still on the move, for example, if one Dothraki tribe declines and dies, then the men of this tribe will often join another powerful Dothraki tribe.
Sometimes the policy is good, but it can be difficult to implement, unless the Stormwind Kingdom is targeting the entire Dothraki clan.
"Your Majesty, this decree of yours may be further discussed. The Minister of Civil Affairs, Muriel, hesitated, but still cooperated with the euphemistic persuasion of the Minister of Law, and as he spoke, Muriel secretly glanced at the appearance of the king sitting on the main seat.
In fact, Ma Shen's appearance is rather bizarre, with black hair, black eyes, and obvious yellow skin, so there are many people in private who suspect that His Majesty actually has some Dothraki blood, but no one dares to mention it.
To insult the blood of the nobility is the greatest insult to the nobility.
"If there is any characteristic that other Dothraki tribes do not have, but the Dzekokao tribe does, it is unfortunate that the Dzekokao tribe happens to have one characteristic. ”
Ma Shen only smiled at the ministers' euphemistic opinions, and then nodded slightly to the quiet intelligence agency Hebrew beside him: "Lord Hebrew, please introduce it to your lordship." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hebrew leaned over to Ma Shen, and then calmly looked around at all the colleagues around him, who were either hostile or indifferent, especially a certain minister who had been a slave, and without greeting or greeting, he began to introduce directly.
"With the blessing of His Majesty the King and the gods, I was fortunate enough to hear the news that both the former and the current Dzekokao had a scar on the corner of their eye. The slow, heavy Hebrew voice rang out in the room, "This is what the previous Dzekokao left behind in a one-on-ten battle, and it is also a symbol of the bravery of the Dzekokao tribe." ”
"Since then, a man in the Dzekokao tribe has a scar on the corner of his father's eye as soon as he is born, and they think that the brave man must have a scar on his face, so when he grows up, he will have a visible scar that cannot be easily imitated by others. ”
"How can you use such a ridiculous reason in front of Your Majesty. The slave-turned-civil minister Mulliel spoke to Eber with a slight sarcasm, saying that he had no affection for the former slave owner at all.
"I think Lord Muliel is misunderstood, what I said is not through rumors or anything like that, but through some of my spies, and it can be trusted. "If you don't believe me," said Hebrew, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see the Dothraki who have just been slain." ”
"This kind of scar is easy to hide, such as putting something on the scar, or... ”
"If they are willing to hide the traces of their tribe's symbol of bravery, then what if they are spared. Ma Shen stopped the topic of Muliel and became a peacemaker, and the ministers were immediately happy with each other, but if it really came to the point of life and death, Ma Shen would have another headache.
"But there's one more thing to do before that. Ma Shen turned his head to look at the chief of the guard guarding the door, "Omar!"
"Papa" Omar, the chief of the guard in iron boots, walked up to Ma Shen and knelt down on one knee respectfully, "Please command, Your Majesty." ”
"Take all the Praetorian guards, quietly follow behind the Dothraki who was specially spared, find the specific location of the Dzekokao tribe for me, and then kill the messenger in advance, so that Dzekokao can not get specific news. ”
Just kill the Dothraki who reported the news before they entered the Dothraki camp.
With the intelligence capabilities of the Dothraki, they may wonder why the emissaries have not returned for so long, but they will not know that their emissaries have been killed, and once they are confirmed, there will be a long time in between.
"Actually, we have an easier way to know the location of the Dzekokao tribe. Hebrew reminded with his eyelids lowered beside him.
"The simplest is not the most suitable. Ma Shen shook his head, "The prairie can't be seen at a glance, and it can't be described alone." ”
"I can fetch that Kao's head for Your Majesty. Omar said with his head slightly bowed.
"I'm sure you can do it, but this Kao's head isn't of much use, far inferior to the horses they rely on. ”
"Your Majesty. Luo Kun, who was listening, showed a thoughtful light in his eyes, "Maybe we can do something with that Kao's head, not all mercenaries are willing to provoke the barbarian Dothraki, after Dzeko Kao's death, there will definitely be a strong Dothraki to take his place, but there will definitely be chaos during the period, as long as it is hidden, no one can know who did it." ”
Indeed, Ma Shen nodded thoughtfully, just like killing the messenger in advance after finding Dzhekokao's camp, this is an information gap, Sima Zhao's heart is known to the world, but the emperor in the palace does not know.
"Just do what Lord Luo Kun says. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Omar glanced at Luo Kun gratefully, then gave a salute with his hand on his chest, then stood up and strode out the door.
Each Kao has his own Blood Guard. They are not only guards, but also brothers and partners. Ancient tradition required them to follow Kao when he died. If Kao dies in battle, the Blood Alliance will do everything in his power to take revenge for the rest of his life, and will kill himself after his revenge, before he runs out of blood.
But there is a premise for this, that is, you have to find the enemy.
For Praetorian guards with parasitic beasts, it is not too difficult to assassinate high-ranking generals who are not prepared for the enemy, as long as they are careful not to be attacked by the archers from a distance.
Thinking about it this way, the barbaric Dothraki tribe is really easy to deal with, Ma Shen couldn't help but laugh, for example, they don't have some connections with Kohor, so leave some Kohor soldier signs on the scene.
Then they will definitely make up for it automatically, because Kohor does not want to pay tribute to the great Dzekokao, so he assassinates the great Dzekokao by despicable means.
"We want revenge!!!We want to avenge the great Dzekokao, no one can survive if they offend the Dothraki. ”
Then the stupid Dothraki galloped on their horses, stupidly leading their troops to Kohor to look for trouble.
It's a pity that using this method to deal with the Dzeko tribe can't deter other forces.
