Chapter 0566 - Peace Talks
The Dothraki began to retreat.
This is unique.
Drogocao was invincible, and he was never defeated in a personal duel or a legion war.
The two consuls of the Elephant Party, Nessissovisama and Dophaspanimion, ordered a halt to the shooting, as did their spearmen to kill the Dothraki trapped in the pit.
Nessiso was a slave business partner of Illyrio, the governor of Pantos, who was able to become the governor of Pantos thanks to the support of Drogo Kao. These secret relationships are underwater, and there is no connection or friendship between Drogo Kao and Nessiso.
The Archons of Dofas were officials bent on peace, even if they were victorious, as Archrex Nebenro had predicted, he was bent on making peace.
The trap was indeed able to stop the Dothraki cavalry who were charging at great speed, but it was only for half a day. When the Dothraki army crossed the river, they regrouped their army, and it was easy to fill this small pit. Even if the trap is not filled, the Dothraki cavalry and the elephant archers in a queue will shoot each other, and the Dothraki will eventually win because there are more people.
They were able to win this time, and they were taken by surprise.
The chaotic and crowded Dothraki cavalry crossed the col and retreated to the river beach.
On the opposite side of the pit, there were corpses and wounded Dothraki everywhere.
The 20,000 vanguard cavalry of Dothraki suffered a heavy blow like they had never experienced before!
Protected by the Elephant Guards, Nessiso and Doffas arrived at the pit, where they condescendingly looked at Drogo Kao, covered in blood.
The three Blood Alliance guards around Drogo Kao were all wounded, covered in blood, but it was impossible to see where their injuries were.
Nessiso and Dofas crouched down, torches in their hands.
"Drogo Kao?" Nessiso asked.
The spearmen and shieldmen around him protected Nessiso and Dofas well.
Many of the Dothraki in the pit did not die, and there were many who were not seriously injured, and not too many fell into the pit and were stabbed to death by the spikes, because the body of the war horse blocked most of the spikes. It's just that the pit is too high for them to climb up.
But the archery of the Dothraki was very taboo for Nesiso and Dophas.
It only takes an arrow to kill them, so they are very cautious.
"I am!" said Drogo Kao proudly.
He looked down on the two white-skinned, fat, feminine archons.
"I am Nessiso of Valantis. "This one next to me is Dophas. ”
"You've captured me, but you haven't really won the war yet. I will not surrender!" Drogo Kao hit the nail on the head. His living force was far superior to that of Valantis, and he had tens of thousands of cavalry capable of fighting. They had so much food that they could not eat for several years, and their gold and silver treasures were piled up.
"Drogo Kao, please look at your feet. Nessiso said.
Drogocao knew something was wrong when he fell into the pit, which was filled with a strange smell, the smell of fire oil that was lit at night.
There was a thick layer of fire oil in the whole pit.
"You're going to burn us, drop the torches!" Drogokao shouted.
The cry of the Dothraki rang out in the pit: ho-ho
Trapped in the pit were the bravest and most combative of the Dothraki, who rushed to the front of the ranks.
As soon as Nessiso's torch is dropped, the entire pit will be transformed into a fierce fiery dragon, and all the people and horses in the pit will be reduced to ashes.
"No, Drogo Kao, we have come to make peace with you. Dofas said with a pleasant face, his tone humble, "Drogo Kao, we all know that you are a great hero on the grassland, and we respect you very much. But in order to protect our parents and children in the black city, we have to fight and we will rescue you as long as you agree to peace talks. ”
Peace talks?
Drogo Kao was stunned.
When the other side has an absolute advantage, the peace talks are proposed.
The Bloodalliance Guard and the Dothraki generals in the pit all looked sad and confused, and then their eyes lit up with hope.
No one wants to die, and Drogo Kao is no exception.
It is vital that Dofas's statement respects the honour of Drogo Kao and his coquees.
"What are the terms of your peace talks?" said Drogo Kao's muttered voice. He chose to accept peace talks.
"It's simple, Drogo Kao, and first, don't abolish our slavery. Nessiso said cautiously. His greatest fear was that Daenerys entered Valantis, saw the shackled slaves, and announced the abolition of slavery. The slave business was a great source of wealth for the nobles of Valantis.
Drogo Kao and his cole were stunned again.
What kind of conditions are these for peace talks?
They themselves started the slave trade through wars and made a lot of money from it, and in the army, many of the coke and generals had slaves.
Drogo Kao did not expect that Daenerys's reputation as a 'slave rescuer' would be so worrying to the nobles of the free trade city-states, and it seemed that the rumors were spreading. Daenerys only took many young women captives as her Cass tribesmen, she could not bear to let those young women become slaves of the Dothraki warriors, and if there were female captives, they had to marry the female captives, not to abolish slavery.
"I promise you this condition. Drogo Kao said.
Nessiso and Dofas were overjoyed.
They do what they say they will do, they don't lie.
"Drogokao, we have killed your warriors of Dothraki, and you must not take revenge on Valantis for the rest of your life. ”
Drogo Kao looked at the brothers in the pit, most of them were only injured, and if they didn't agree, they would be burned to death.
"I can promise you peace with Valantis for the rest of your life, but you will have to pay us an annual tribute. Drogo Kao said.
Nessiso and Dofas looked at each other, and the two figured out that they were willing to pay tribute, because even if they didn't pay tribute to Drogo Kao, the other Kao would come and ask Valantis for a tribute.
The only question was the exact amount of tribute: grain, furs, wine, gold, silver and jewelry.
"We will pay tribute to Drogo Kao as best we can in Valantis. Nessiso replied sleekly.
"Good!" Drogokao agreed.
Poof!
Nessiso and Dophas blew out the flames of the torches in their hands.
"Drogokao, we have to make a peace pact in the temple of Valantis, do you agree?" said Nessiso, throwing the rope into the trap.
