Chapter 0726: Varys' Poison
(Sorry for the late update!)
*
Flocks of dilapidated boats appeared in the sea ahead. It's like a refugee on the shore who has nowhere to hide after being hit by the flames of war.
Those ships were old, too small to be dangerous in the open waters. In order to increase safety against wind and waves, many boats are connected with ropes. The people on board were ordinary civilians.
When the Miss passed by these ships, many people on board kindly shouted and reminded the Miss that it was better not to go to Valantis, Valantis had no more merchants, the civil war was fierce, the Elephants and the Tigers and the Dothraki were killing each other, and the warships in the port were divided into several factions for civil war.
So the Mademoiselle stopped, and Hagel, the half-bachelor, and Mrs. Lemore, the nun, jumped over the ship and conversed cordially with the fleeing people. They were informed that the small boats were natives who had escaped from the port of Valantis, and that they did not dare to take the safe passage near the shore in order to survive, and that they had chosen the open sea so that they would not run into the warships of the soldiers.
The idea was the same as that of Mrs. Lemore, both of whom wanted to avoid the battleship.
Mrs. Lemore was concerned about how the civil strife in Valantis was caused?
The ship's reply was caused by the Dothraki from the Dothraki Sea.
The nun and the bachelor patiently inquired and finally learned the truth of the matter.
It all started with Drogo Kao half a month ago.
In a delta outside the city of Valantis, Drogo Kao and his legions were ambushed by the Valantis, and the food and grass of the rear team were attacked.
The 10,000 vanguard army led by Drogo Kao, after crossing the river in the delta, was also met with a head-on attack by the Valantis, under the indiscriminate rain of arrows, Drogo Kao was wounded by arrows, he and his guards rushed into the trap pit, besieged by the two consuls of Valantis, at the critical moment, the consuls of Valantis proposed peace to Drogo Kao, Valantis was willing to submit, but the Dothraki could no longer attack Valantis.
Drogo Kao agreed to that condition.
Drogo Kao was trapped and would only be given his life if he agreed to this condition, and Valantis, after his great victory, would only be protected by Drogo Kao from the massacre of the Dothraki in the days to come.
The three Archons of Valantis teamed up to defeat Drogo Kao, but they were unable to continue the next attack of the Dothraki.
They can win this battle, but they can't win countless battles in the future. Releasing Drogo Kao and signing a peace agreement with him is the best strategy to preserve Valantis.
Once!
It is in Drogo Kao's wish to reach a peace agreement, and it is in Valantis' interest.
After the two sides hit it off, Valantis agreed to Drogo Kao's request, and they were willing to give him a thousand carts of food, iron, furs, porcelain, gold and silver, and asked Drogo Kao to take the position of Valantis' Archon of Defense, a fictitious title that could be used for external propaganda. This false title is a talisman that causes the other Dothraki to give up attacking Valantis.
After peace was reached, the armies of both sides advanced towards Valantis.
Drogo Kao was wounded by an arrow, and he ordered the Blood Allies to go to the rear to fetch Varys, the octopus spider.
Varys hurried to the front with the Blood Alliance, with the Valantis entering the city first, followed by Drogo Kao's cavalry. Drogo Kao himself was stationed in his military tent, waiting for Varys to bring a special anti-inflammatory ointment.
The wound of the arrow wound has been remedied, but inflammation is a problem in this world, and as long as the inflammation cannot be eliminated, the person's life will be in danger.
Drogo Kao was wounded in the war with the sheep people, and under the healing of the sheep priest Miri Maz Dur, Drogo Kao's life was on the verge of death, and it was the eight-clawed spider Varys, who arrived in time, came out with a miraculous ointment to save Drogo Kao's life.
The invincible Drogo Kao was unable to overcome the infectious disease of his wound after injury, and his invincibility was ended by the Valantis. Although the Valantis later explained that Drogo Kao did not lose to them, but to the Grand Priest of the Red Temple, the largest Red Temple in Valantis, that is, to the Red God Rahlo, the defeat of Drogo Kao is still a fact.
For the first time, the name of the Red God Rahlo sounded in the hearts of the Dothraki people, which also made Daenerys Targaryen have a sense of respect for the High Priest of the Red Temple.
Drogo Kao captured countless idols from other kingdoms and brought them back to the holy city of the Dothraki, discarding them on both sides of the avenue outside the holy city to show the bravery of the Dothraki in battle, the first time that Valantis suffered a great defeat due to the belief of the Red God.
Valantis, a free-trade city-state on the Eastern Continent, is world-famous for its slave trade and is also known for having the largest Red Temple on the Eastern Continent.
The belief in the red god here is deeply rooted in the marrow of the city-state. It doesn't matter if you belong to the nobility or the commoners, the Elephant Party or the Tiger Party, you are a member of the Red God Faith.
The defeat also shook Varys' heart, and made Quentin Martell, Prince of Dorne, who accompanied the army, realize the power of faith, but it gave the goat-priest Miri Maz Dur a long-awaited turnaround: the opportunity to kill Drogo Kao.
Varys and the Blood Alliance Guard Corso arrived in the tent of the front army, and the vanguard army did not stop, only Drogo Kao and his Blood Alliance guards, and a hundred guards and cavalry.
Varys took out the anti-inflammatory ointment that Master Will had given him and applied it to Drogo Kao's arrow wound. The anti-inflammatory ointment has been secretly made by Will, and it feels cool and comfortable when it enters the wound, and Drogo Kao feels the same comfortable feeling as last time, the only difference is that this time it feels cool, and the wound has a bite like a small ant.
But Drogo Kao didn't take this subtle anomaly to heart, and he trusted Varys as much as he trusted his own Blood Guard. There was no doubt that there was anything else.
In the afternoon, Daenerys led his Cass men to Drogo Kao's tent to take care of her husband, and by this time, Drogo Kao had already felt the pain and discomfort of the wound, and he asked Varys, who did not understand why, and said that maybe this was the normal reaction of the medicine. Daenerys asked Priest Miri Maz Dur to take a look, and Mirie Maz Dur looked at it and said that everything was a natural and normal reaction, and that there was nothing abnormal about the wound.
In the evening, Drogo Kao fell asleep on a lion's skin carpet after getting drunk. Daenerys scrubs his body and finds that Drogo Kao is hot all over, and she tries to wake him up, but finds that Drogo is so dazed that she can't wake him up. Daenerys panicked and immediately called Varys and Miri Maz Tull for questioning, and after careful examination by Miri Maz Tull and the long-haired man in the army (the doctor in charge of treating the wounds of the disease), they finally determined that Drogo Kao's coma was poisoned, and that the deadly poison came from Varys's anti-inflammatory ointment.
