(Happy New Year's Day, dear book friends)

*

Overnight, Jorah Mormont commanded the craftsmen of the army, built six arrow towers, dug deep trenches, and lined up the three camps with antlers.

Just after dawn, the huge crematorium was lit, and the fire was lit by pouring oil into the pyre.

In the morning, a military meeting was convened by Jola Mormont.

The three Blood Alliance generals, Argo, Jogo, and Lacarlo, were meritorious, and Jorah Mormont promoted Laclos to the rank of Free Folk general, responsible for commanding 60,000 Free Folk infantry.

Chogo was the general of the 500 Kas army, and mobilized 500 cavalry from the Queen's Knights, allowing Jogo to form a core raid cavalry of 1,000 men.

In particular, he made a great contribution to General Ago, and asked General Ago to select a hundred elite cavalry from anyone's army at will, one person and two good horses, to form a scout team with absolute combat effectiveness.

Generally speaking, the scout team will not exceed thirty people, and in order to have an absolute overwhelming advantage in the scout and scout encounters, Jorah Mormont decided to let Argo, who is the first in archery, freely select one hundred of the best elite cavalry to form a scout team.

The rest of the scout team all canceled their missions and were not allowed to go out.

This is a prairie, and it is not the same as the other places where it is fought. It is not a cavalry with excellent horsemanship and archery, and the Dothraki who encounter them on the steppe are more dead and less alive.

Argo, Jogo, and LaCarlo were indeed the most capable steppe generals in the army, and Jorah Mormont decided to reuse the three generals and redeployed them according to their talents.

At the meeting, Jorah Mormont suggested that Drogo Kao return to his original form, and that the flag of Drogo Kao be unfurled, replacing the red flame flag with the white lion flag, and Drogo Kao did not say a word, but glared at Jorah Mormont.

Drogo Kao was shirtless, covered in tattoos of flames.

It's a tattoo he didn't have before!

Moreover, after his injuries were treated by the 'eunuchs' on the grassland, he healed quickly. In this battle, he single-handedly killed several of Oss Kao's cowards and blood alliance guards, and killed Deos Kao with the intention of retreating, but many of his brothers were also killed by the warriors of his Holy Fire Hand, and all twelve Holy Fire guards were killed in battle.

Jorah said, "Drogo, if you don't speak, I'll take you by default!"

Varys said, "General Jorah, Drogo's costume change involves the belief of the Red God, and I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to force Drogo to change like this!"

"General Drogo doesn't speak, that's acquiescence. This is a barracks, not a church!"

Varys said, "Do you agree, Drogo?"

Drogo still didn't speak, but nodded.

He waved a Dothraki costume and changed it in the camp, restoring Drogo Kao's former attire, except that on his arm, he tied a red scarf.

It seems that Bennero, the High Priest of the Red Temple, is also ready, and if Drogo Kao can return to his original attire and identity for the sake of victory in the war, he only needs to keep the symbolic attire of the Red God Faith warrior.

Like Drogo, the new twelve Flame Guards changed into their civilian clothes, took off their monks' red robes, and they were lightly armoured, each with a bright red silk scarf tied around their arms.

Soon, the remaining five hundred Hands of the Flame were all replaced by Dothraki costumes and weapons, and all wore bright red silk scarves on their arms.

These changes were all planned by Bennero, the High Priest of the Red God.

Drogo's only constant was that he didn't speak.

At the end of the modification, Drogo nodded to Jorah Mormont and walked out of the tent.

The military meeting was not over, but Drogo was no longer willing to stay for the meeting.

Jorah Mormont didn't force him either, letting him go on his own.

In the Dothraki steppe, Drogo is such a master, he knows everything here.

What does he want to do?

At the moment of the truce, inside the base camp, Jorah Mormont did not want to interfere with any of the generals. Moreover, he is Drogo, Daenerys' rightful husband.

The military meeting continued.

Jorah appointed Varys in charge of personnel management and grain logistics.

Varys happily agreed.

Jorah Mormont also appointed two of Varys' legendary gladiators, Bald and Short, as two spearheads in the Free People's army, under the authority of General LaCarlo. The bald head and the short man readily agreed.

The bald head has no tongue and cannot speak, but this does not affect him from leading the army. He and the dwarf cooperated tacitly, one was the left vanguard, the other was the right vanguard, and General Lacarlo obeyed the orders.

General Harry is obviously not good at fighting, he is not a fierce general, and General Harry is promoted to the chief of general affairs of the whole army, in charge of the money and food of the whole army, and is no longer in charge of the military. The de facto leader of the Queen's Order was Jorah Mormont, and ten knights were promoted to generals, one of whom commanded a thousand. and if there are not enough men, they shall go to the army of the free people and select less than a thousand elite soldiers.

In the end, it was decided that the army would use only two flags, one was the Queen's three-headed dragon banner and the other was Drogo's white lion banner. The second major task decided by the congress was to send a thousand cavalry, with Argo in charge of scouting and scouting, Lacarlo in charge of emergency support, and Jogo in charge of robbery.

In this team of village sweepers, Varys and General Harry are together.

Because one is the logistics food officer, and the other is the chief of all military affairs such as money, food, equipment, tents, etc. of the whole army.

The ten generals of the Queen's Order also set out with 100 men each as the second reinforcement to deal with the emergency.

After the meeting, General Harry began to arrange for the clerks to make the white lion flag, and the front and rear armies and the middle army erected the white lion banner and the queen's three-headed dragon flag, and the tens of thousands of troops of the free trade city-state retained their respective free trade city-state flags except for the lion flag and the dragon flag.

At this point, the situation of no less than dozens of military flags under the great influence of the whole army has been uniformly changed: the flags in the army are mainly the lion flag and the dragon flag, and the city flags of the free trade city-states, although they have been retained, have also become smaller, and only one of the city flags of each type of city-state has been retained.

After the flag was adjusted, the party responsible for issuing decrees and gathering horses and rations in the name of the queen set out, with Varys and Harry as the queen's administrative officers, Argo as the scout, and Jogo in charge of leading the army to sweep the villages, collecting food and horses from the villagers of the steppes, and carrying out a kind of 'robbery' under the cloak of legality.

La Carlo's Free Folk Regiment and the Queen's Order each sent 1,000 elite soldiers to support the Raiders in the face of emergencies.

0893-2 The Threat of the Red God's Faith

Jorah Mormont arranged everything and toured the camp with her wounded. He walked into a tent and noticed that many people were kneeling on the ground, with a reverent expression, and someone in the center was busy with something. He looked over and saw that the man in the crowd was Drogo, and in front of him lay a wounded warrior, Drogo's hand resting on the knife wound on the warrior's arm, and his lips moved slightly, as if in prayer.

It is not surprising that the soldiers prayed before or after the war. But strangely enough, the man who was doing the priesthood-like thing was Drogo.

This puzzled Jorah.

Daenerys only sent her husband to the temple for treatment, not to make him a priest or a member of the Red God.

It seems that although Drogo has picked up a life, the change is really too great. It can be said that Daenerys gave away her husband, but what she got was a priest of the Red God. Archpriest Bennello did not return her husband to Daenerys, in a sense, Jorah Mormont felt that Daenerys had been deceived.

Drogo then took some powder from the guards and threw it into the burning brazier, where the flames burned more violently and glowed with a colorful brilliance.

This made Jorah feel sad in her heart. If Drogo had come to see him like this, would he have been angry or would he have changed his faith?

Jorah didn't know.

Drogo had finished the ritual, and the wounds of the wounded warrior had not changed much, but he himself felt much better, both physically and mentally.

Jorah stepped out of the tent and continued to inspect the soldiers in the camp, when he heard rumors that Drogo had just been in a tent and had brought a soldier back to life who was about to die. This legend made Jorah suspicious, and he ordered the soldier who was telling the miraculous story to take him to see the soldier who had been brought back to life by Drogo.

Soon, Jorah met the legendary soldier who had been brought back to life by Drogo, a soldier named the Hand of Fire, who said that he was walking in darkness and could not see anything, and he felt terrified that he did not know where he had come, and then he saw the light, the flames, and the dancing spirits in the darkness. He walked towards the flames, and he saw Drogo holding a torch, and Drogo took him by the hand and led him out of the darkness.

The hand of the flame who guarded the dying flame said that the comrade's breathing had stopped, his heart had stopped beating, everyone thought he was dead, Drogo came, he turned his comrade's sword into a burning sword, he lit the fire in the brazier, he prayed to the red god, and then the warrior who had stopped his heartbeat woke up and was restored to life.

Jorah listened faintly.

The smell of faith in this is very unpleasant to hear, and is this true or is it a communication between people of faith? Jorah Mormont did not know.

Jorah Mormont continued his rounds, and then he suddenly stumbled upon the fact that more and more soldiers in the army had red silk scarves wrapped around their arms.

Obviously, it has only been an hour since the military meeting, why have the faith warriors of the Hand of the Holy Fire become so many.

A red silk scarf is a hand of the flame. This is Jorah Mormont agreeing to Drogo's approach at the military meeting, this red silk scarf and said that ordinary soldiers can also do it, but the time is very short, but there are more and more soldiers in the army with red silk scarves around their arms, as if they are flu.

At this rate, it won't be long before Queen Daenerys' army will turn into the Red Silk Turban Legion.

As for the red silk scarf, the real leader above is the red god, the leader in the middle is Beneiro, and Drogo is only the leader at the bottom, and the soldiers are the warriors of the red god.

The Hand of the Flame came in the army, numbering only a thousand, and in the first battle they were attacked by the elite army of Ogg Kao, and five hundred were killed, and five hundred soldiers were left to heal the wounded in the army and the dying soldiers, which in fact looked like a sermon.

Jorah Mormont felt that this was not a good sign.

It is a minimum of common sense that gods should not compete with mortals for military power. In the continent of Westeros, there was a very brutal battle between kingship and theocracy, and in the end, Maegor I was victorious, and he ordered that religious beliefs could be had, but not religious armed.

But Drogo was developing a religious armament. His followers were warriors, and warriors became believers in the Red God, and this was the religious armament.

Jorah felt that if he was a successful politician, he should intervene in this phenomenon, but it was tricky and could easily provoke Drogo to revolt.

Maybe this Drogo is no longer the former grassland hero, but has become the general of the Red God. He had been a god himself, and now his god had a higher godhood, and he had finally returned to mortality, becoming a priest who was not a priest.

This is confusing and dangerous for Jora!

Jorah would definitely wait for Daenerys to return before making a decision on the matter, and if necessary, he felt that Drogo did not need to be in the army, and could send Drogo and his Hand of the Flame to a certain place by order, either to fight or simply to send back Valantis as the city-state's escort legion.

Jorah returned to the military tent with a heavy heart, and Daenerys's beautiful face appeared in front of him, Daenerys was going to have a baby, if this child was Drogo's, he should have been Drogo's, then Drogo's weight in the army would be even heavier because of the arrival of this child.

Jorah realizes that she wants to kill the child, all she needs is to put some moon tea in Daenerys' milk, or some more effective medicine, and a little bit a day, Daenerys will have a miscarriage.

Jorah was married and worked as a mercenary with his wife in the free-trade city-state of the Narrow Sea, and he had a lot of experience in this area. With just a little bit of some kind of medicine, the baby in Daenerys' womb won't be saved.

When Jorah was thinking more and more about danger, the horn of the enemy attack sounded outside, and Jorah immediately rushed out of the camp, and the shouts of the soldiers outside came and went.

On the turret, the soldiers were shouting, on the ground, the soldiers were running, and the centurions and generals were giving orders.

The herald came to report that a cavalry had arrived ahead, ten miles away from the base camp, and that Argo's scouts had first discovered it.

The sound of horses' hooves rattled, the antlers at the camp gate were removed, the drawbridge in the trench was lowered, and the cavalry who had gone outside to issue the decree poured into the camp until they saw the horses of Varys and Harry's chief of affairs.

Then another herald came to report that the opposing army had come to the army of Ogg Kao, who had fought yesterday, and they had chosen to camp ten miles outside, and had raised the banner of the green steppe to express peace.

Half an hour later, Argo's scout legion also returned, along with them two enemy emissaries.
