Winterfell's lords gather their vassals to fight, and it usually takes two months to prepare for the battle, from issuing orders, to preparing food, weapons, and logistical baggage.

The king of King's Landing had to go to war, call up the vassals of the Seven Kingdoms, and gather troops in King's Landing, which would take at least two months.

Fighting a war is not decided by a meeting today, and it can be done tomorrow.

The Free Folk Corps of the Great Wall, which is ready for battle at any time, can be pulled out at any time to fight on the Great Wall, and it takes a month to prepare for the war in the south.

The south and the north are different, the climatic conditions, the diet structure, the water and soil customs, all different.

Before the war, Mance Raid, as the leader, and his generals had to study the map for several days, plus the battle plan, the pre-war mobilization, the formation of the bachelor's team, and the mobilization of grain from the south, it was impossible to move troops without a month to lay the foundation.

From the Great Wall of Desperation in the north to the territory of Dorne, it takes at least four months to walk on the march.

So this war to conquer Dorne, from planning to real combat, was about half a year later. Mance Rader planned to take all of Dorne within half a year, which was already a very fast military advance, so this planned conquest war, from the initial idea to the end of the final war, needed to be planned within a year.

According to the calculations of the Old Town Scholars, this autumn is at least two years long, and generally speaking, the longer the summer, the longer the autumn, and similarly, the longer the winter.

Mance Rader had enough time to conquer Dorne before returning to the Great Wall with his army.

From the Great Wall to the complete end of the war and back to the Great Wall, a year and a half is enough. If it goes well, you can return to the Great Wall in a year.

Will decided to let Mance Rader conquer Dorne, which was risky but worth it. If Dorne is conquered, the door to the New World will be opened by Will, and if Mance Rader is defeated, then after the leader of the Free Folk is lost, Will can take the opportunity to strengthen the centralized system of his personal power, and increase his personal military power to a higher level, and directly lead the Free Folk.

The stronger the individual's power, the higher the chance of success in shaping history and opening the door to a new world.

Regardless of the outcome, Will looks like he's seeing the benefits.

Not to mention the bits and pieces of preparations before the conquest of Dorne, after the preparations and military strategy and tactics were formulated, the army led by Mance Rader went south, and there was no need to talk about the rapid march on the road for a few months, so we let Lord Will and Mansred work out their tactical ideas at ease on the desperate wall, formulate the cheats for the conquest of Dorne, and we also let them make plans to march on the road, during this time period, Daenerys and Aquaman on the other side of the Narrow Sea were not idle.

Daenerys was a well-wished maiden, and when she heard that Drogo Kao had been resurrected, she went to Drogo Kao's tent and met a silent and indifferent Drogo, and after receiving no response from Drogo, Daenerys, in her capacity as the queen of the Crusade, ordered Drogo Kao to lead his hand of fire to camp on the left side of her tent and appointed Drogo Kao as her left guard.

Although Drogo Kao did not speak or talk to anyone, he had guards around him, an attendant of the Hand of the Fire, and he was able to understand all orders and obey them completely, so Drogo Kao, wearing a red veil of the Hand of the Flame on his face, became Queen Daenerys's left bodyguard, obeying the orders of the captain of the guard, Jorah Mormont.

After the army entered the Dothraki Sea, Daenerys's left and right guards were adjusted, with her Kas elite on the right, her Drogo Kao on the left, and herself and the Knights of Ten Thousand Queens in the center. The predecessor of the Queen's Knights was the mercenary Golden Knights, and the elephant army became the core of Daenerys's Chinese army.

Daenerys' legion is dominated by infantry, which would be at an absolute disadvantage when encountering the Dothraki cavalry in the Dothraki steppe. So, in order to avoid the Dothraki cavalry, Daenerys decided to ride a dragon out to reconnoitre.

A view of the prairie, riding on a dragon and looking down from the sky, all situations cannot escape Daenerys's eyes. Daenerys flies forward on the black dragon Rego, flanked by the red dragon Viserys and the green dragon Drogo.

A short flight away, Daenerys saw smoke rising in front of her. Where there was smoke, there were many Slavs, so she whistled and drove the three dragons to speed forward.

*

Daenerys unifies the slaves with the Sea King of Braavos, which wins the hearts of the lower populations, but also draws the wrath of the slave owners and aristocrats. Many aristocrats made their fortune by slaves, and Daenerys upturned their jobs, shattered his wealth, and put an end to their dreams.

Although these people did not dare to speak out against the Queen, they could do it to ventilate the Queen's enemies.

Before Daenerys' infantry reached the Dothraki Sea, several Kao in the Dothrak Sea received the news that Daenerys was coming to the steppe to conquer all of Kao.

The Kao were not at peace with each other, and the fight between them never stopped, but because Daenerys brought her three dragons this time, the Kao decided to join forces.

Daenerys' nine free trade city-states and slave armies are dominated by infantry, and in the eyes of Kao, these infantry are just human targets one by one, vulnerable to attack, but Daenerys's three dragons pose a threat to them, the dragon flame is invincible, and it flies in the air, and the arrows are difficult to hurt. Especially when the march was exhausted and resting at night, the dragons fell from the sky, and the antlers and trench defenses on the ground were useless.

In order to prevent Daenerys' dragons from discovering and annihilating them in one fell swoop, the Kaos came up with a brilliant idea.

*

Daenerys flew over the smoke and saw that there was no one below, so she drove the dragon down and found that it was a camp, and according to the ground traces, there were not many people, about five hundred. The men buried the pot here to cook and then left, without extinguishing the firewood in the stove.

It's dangerous, the grasslands are grassy, and there are woods, and fires caused by dry branches and dead grass are a real disaster.

But the gang apparently didn't care at all, the charcoal buried in the hearth was still shining with sparks.

It took Daenerys an hour to bury the charcoal fire with dirt.

She rode the dragon forward again, and looked far away, as if she were on the edge of the sky, and saw the smoke again!

*

Chapter 0886-2 Argo resists the enemy alone

Daenerys watched the smoke fly, and walked closer, this is a village, the villagers are partying, lighting a fire, and people are dancing and singing around the fire.

In the vicinity of the village, there was no sign of the army.

If the Dothraki marched in a hurry, they could sleep on their horses, eat dry food and drink wine on them, and they did not have to camp and marched forward. In this way, there will be no cooking smoke.

Daenerys decided to give up on the smoke, she chose the direction she was going and continued to fly.

In March, when the Dothraki faith and New Year are in full swing, the Kao will return to the Holy City, and it will be easy to catch all the Kao.

As long as you find a steady way forward in the boundless steppe, without bloody internal friction, you can dominate the Dothraki Sea and reach what Lord Will said: Win by skill, and transfer a thousand catties in four or two!

*

In the boundless steppe, Daenerys' army of 60,000 free people is at the forefront. The infantry advanced forward neither fast nor slow, and the generals and centurions followed on their horses.

The middle army is Daenerys's 500 Cass army, Drogo's 1,000 Sacred Flame Hands, 10,000 Queen's Knights, including more than 30 elephants and more than 100 elephants, and the rear army is about 40,000 coalition troops of the 'Nine Free Trade City-States'.

After Daenerys rode away, Jorah Mormont, the homeless Harry Stryclan, Varys, Smiling Main, Drogo Kao, Sir Duck, the three Blood Alliance generals Argo, Jogo and LaCarlo, and nearly ten generals of the Free Trade City-States, all met together and decided to send scouts to the east, southeast, and northeast.

Argo led more than a dozen scouts to the northeast to reconnoitre.

At Daenerys and Drogo Kao's wedding, Daenerys received a gift: a dragon bone bow that the Dothraki considered priceless. When Daenerys joined her Cass tribe on the grasslands, she gave the dragon bone bow to Argo, who was the first in archery.

The keel bow is very lightweight, very tough, and has an extremely long range, almost one and a half times the distance of other bows. On the other side of the Narrow Sea, only the sharpshooter Angai had a special keel bow.

The keel is a treasure that is hard to find, and it is even more difficult to make it into a good bow. Not all keels are suitable for making a keel bow.

With a team of scouts, one man and two horses, Argo headed northeast.

This tactic was already very cautious, and in the sky, Queen Daenerys rode the dragon in the direction of due east. On the ground, three scouts set off simultaneously in three directions to the east: northeast, due east, and southeast.

It can be seen that the generals were also afraid of a surprise battle with the Dothraki in the steppe.

*

Argo's team moved at a steady pace to the northeast.

Scouts are taboo to run as hard as they can when they don't see the enemy.

Advance at a constant pace, leaving the horse at just the right speed to make a surprise attack or retreat.

This was the way the Dothraki cavalrymen rode their horses.

The journey was safe, except for the occasional herdsman on the grassland, or three or five people, or a dozen people. There are many herdsmen on the grasslands, and there are also many tribes and nationalities, and there are not many people who walk among the major tribes to do business.

In general, the regular army of the Dothraki would not rob and kill the merchants who brought them salt, iron, and cloth, but it was not excluded that small groups of people wanted to make a fortune.

Ago and the others were fast, and soon ran out of dozens of miles, and there was a village in front of them, and Ago decided to go into the village and ask if any of Kao's troops had been moving around recently.

The group entered the village, dismounted, and Ago and others sent wine and food, and asked the villagers about the recent events on the grassland, and the news they got was very certain that there was no Kao's army active on the grassland of the recent generation. It is said that they went all the way east to rob the belongings of many people.

Ago and his brothers took the villagers' word for it.

In this season, they used to do the same, either to the west to rob and coax the nine free trade city-states and some small tribes, or to the east to rob the rich big cities, forcing them to hand over a large amount of money, and then roaring out and returning to the Holy City to celebrate their New Year and worship their spoils to the temple of the Holy Mountain.

Under the warm greeting of the villagers, Argo's brothers drank the mare's milk wine brought out by the villagers, and Argo himself dismissed the enthusiasm of the villagers, although he did not doubt the villagers, but Daenerys's warning to Argo was taken to heart and not to trust anyone easily.

The brothers drank the mare's milk wine from the villagers, and when they left the village, Argo decided not to move forward and return with confidence.

There was Daenerys and her dragon in the sky, and the ground was all grassland, and there was indeed no trace of Kao passing by.

Not far from the village, one of the cavalrymen in front of him fell to the ground with a thud, causing a burst of laughter from the brothers.

However, Argo's keel bow was taken off, and with an arrow, it hit a black spot at the entrance of the village, which was a villager at the entrance of the village.

A scream came faintly, such a long distance, right in the middle of the villagers, the ultra-long range of the keel bow surprised everyone.

Of the three generals of Cass, Argo's archery skills are the first.

The brothers were stunned, and Argo had already removed the quiver from his back and hung it on the saddle, so that it was convenient to retrieve the arrows quickly.

"General, you are ......" a scout brother said in surprise, before the words fell, he felt his body shake, his eyes were blurred, and with a bang, he also fell off the horse.

Among the more than a dozen brothers, some laughed, while others became alert.

With a grim expression, Argo jumped off his horse and took the quivers of the two fallen brothers, and hung them on his saddle one by one.

"Hurry back, run as fast as you can!" shouted Argo, "leave me all the quivers, this is the order, the action!"

Although the scout brothers did not fully understand, the two fallen brothers did not even turn over, this mare's milk wine was so powerful that they had never seen it.

The brothers who had drunk mare's milk finally understood that there was something wrong with the villagers' mare's milk.

The Dothraki can ride on horseback even when they sleep, how can they suddenly fall off their horses while laughing?!

When the first brother was down, Argo understood that the villagers were doing something in the mare's milk wine.

The brothers jumped off their horses, tied the two unconscious brothers to their horses, and then whipped the horse's hips, and the two horses galloped away with their masters.

Pounce!

Two more brothers suddenly went limp, and they fell to the ground.

The brothers hurriedly tied the two brothers to the horses as well, and whipped the war horses, which were well-trained and immediately galloped.

No one cares, the war horse will take the master back.

This is one of the horse-riding skills of the Dothraki.

The brothers then tied themselves to the saddle with ropes and whips and quickly retreated.

They gave the quiver to Argo, and they all withdrew.

Argo's saddle was full of quivers. His two horses stood motionless against the road at the entrance of the village. The villagers had already gathered, divided into two groups, about dozens of people, and rushed towards Ago.
