Chapter 0939 Dominate the Grassland
The huge city of Vis has no walls.
The city of Vis is a holy city, and the only rule in it is peace. Enemies of life and death are like brothers in the holy city, drinking together, eating together, and having fun together. If you want to fight, you have to wait until you get out of the Holy City.
The Holy City also became a city of peace for the Dothraki people.
As long as you don't leave the Holy City, no one dares to hurt anyone.
This is a rule that has been passed for thousands of years, and no one has overstepped it.
The current Kao have two choices, one is to choose to surrender to Daenerys, and the other is to choose to stay in the Holy City and wait for Daenerys to go away.
The more people there were, the less time they spent in the Holy City.
For the Dothraki who make a living by plundering other peoples, if they don't go out and rob, they will go hungry. Going out to rob, for the Dothraki, is that the peasants farm, the blacksmiths make iron, the hunters hunt, and the fishermen fish.
If they are lazy and do not work, they will run out of food.
Choosing to stay in the Holy City and wait for Daenerys to leave and then come out is a very good strategy, Daenerys's cavalry is 130,000, and the families of the cavalry are hundreds of thousands, these people stay around the Holy City, for a long time, eating is a problem, they will have to leave.
Dothraki who are not self-sufficient generally do not live in the Holy City for more than a month, and no more than three months at most. They don't wait until they don't have anything to eat, but they have a certain amount of money and food to go out. There are times when the robbery does not go well, and they also need to repair it, and when it does not go well, the money and food they have stored will be taken out and used.
Daenerys' strategy of besieging the Holy City alarmed the Kao, but a day later, Kao, with only two small legions, chose to surrender to Daenerys, and their total of 10,000 cavalry was incorporated into the regiments of Jogo and Lacarlo, and the two generals' headquarters cavalry reached 25,000 men each.
With the addition of Andrew, Daenerys' direct cavalry formed an army of 50,000 men, equal to the number of Drogo Kao's army at his peak.
Drogo Kao, in the form of General Crimson, led the Three Thousand Hands of the Sacred Flame in Daenerys' main cavalry regiment. In a short period of time, from Daenerys' soldiers, Drogo Kao has developed more than 2,000 Hands of the Sacred Flame. Most of these soldiers were critically wounded and sick, but they were treated prayerfully by Drogo Kao, witnessed the power of the Red God, began to believe in the Red God, and joined Drogo Kao's Hand of Fire.
After Daenerys besieged the city for a week, the rest of the Kao did not come out, but stayed in the holy city and fought a protracted battle with Daenerys. Daenerys is numerous, but the daily consumption of materials is also several times that of them, and they all know that Daenerys will not be able to support it for long, so they stay in the holy city with peace of mind, taking turns to feast, drink and have fun every day.
In the holy city, there are traders from all over the world, who come to the annual gathering of the Dothraki people. Many merchants also came from various ports on the continent of Westeros, they calculated the time, set off from the port with their goods, crossed the narrow sea to the free trade city-state, and then went ashore, hired donkeys, carriages, ox carts, and hired mercenaries to protect them, and pulled cloth, wine, grain, jade, iron and other things that the Dothraki people liked, and came to the city of Vis to catch the carnival of the Dothraki people.
Many prostitutes from the free-trade city-states also came here to make their fortunes, and it was also the season when Dothraki spent a lot of money. In the Holy City, whether you are a prostitute, a thief, a merchant, or anyone else, you are protected in peace and warmly received. The Holy City has a special market for buying and selling, where you can buy anything from all over the world.
The merchants sold all the goods they had brought with them, exchanged them for money from the Dothraki or looted from the Dothrakis, and returned.
So on this day of the party, as long as the Kaos don't leave, the merchants will stay a little longer. The merchants who came here to do business had their own shops or partners in the city-states closest to the holy city of Vess, and as long as the Kaos didn't leave and wanted to buy something, they had a way to get it.
Daenerys is outside the city, and Kao is inside, if there is a steady stream of caravans carrying goods into the holy city, Kao can sustain it for a long time, and this is something Daenerys cannot afford.
Even if Daenerys had strong supplies, she couldn't afford to spend it, and her navy, led by Aquaman, lost a large number of warships when passing through Valyrian Fireworks Bay, and only a small half of the warships passed through Fireworks Bay and entered Slave Bay, attacking those Oriental cities along the way.
The naval battle of Aquaman was invincible, but the siege battle did not go well. The cities of the Orientals were tall and sturdy, and they had been informed in advance that they had hired a number of powerful mercenary legions, and an army of the Unsullied with bronze spike helmets covered the entire city walls. Daenerys needs to go to the eastern coast to attack those large and small slave owners, and it is better for Aquaman to lead a fleet to block the sea routes of those cities and cut off all trade of the slave owners, rather than go ashore to attack the cities.
Daenerys must change this situation.
The Holy City had a supreme temple inhabited by slave servants and Doshikarin. Doshi Kalin is the wife of all the dead Kao, and this is the home of all the deceased Kao's wives, who after Kao's death, they changed from Kalixi's identity to Doshi Kalin, and became a sorcerer who conveyed the will of the gods.
The Holy City is peaceful, all bloodshed and the carrying of iron weapons are completely forbidden, and the holiest place in the Holy City is the temple where the Doshikarins live.
The temple was also the only place where the Kaos gathered, had meetings, deliberated on the division of power, gathered, prayed, and made vows to the gods.
After the confrontation with Daenerys began, the Kao gathered together at the temple of Doshikarin, where they gathered to have fun, drink and eat meat, pray and make wishes, this is the holy city of the holy city, the place of peace in peace.
On this day, in the temple of Doshikarin, the Kao, as usual, laughed and laughed in the temple, pushed cups and changed lamps, drank and ate meat. In the sky, the cries of Dragons and Daenerys were heard: "Ladies Kao, either you will come out of the city and submit to me, or I will burn you all to ashes." ”
At the very lively banquet, people were silenced by shock.
"Don't think that I won't dare to touch you if you stay in Doshikarin, I am the queen of Dothraki, and everything that does not submit will lose glory and life. ”
"What is she talking about?" Kao incredulous.
"Is she going to do it here?" said Kao.
"I'm going to go out and have a look. The other raised his glass to Kao, "Doesn't she know that this is where the Doshikarins live? ”
"I'll go with you. The other Kao also stood up, "This is where the gods live. ”
"Does she dare to lead an army into the Holy City?" said Kao, "brothers, we should unite so that our army will be stronger than hers." ”
"Yes, join forces. Kao echoed.
Between Kao and Kao, there is more hatred than friendship. This is also the reason why the Dothraki have never been able to dominate the continent of Essos, they have many tribes, they can fight well, but they are not united. Between the various ethnic groups and the various Kao, there are blood feuds and little kindness.

Chapter 0939
Daenerys hovers over Doshikarin's temple with three dragons, threatening the Kaos inside the temple, angering Doshikarin's elders.
The elder led more than a dozen Doshikarin out of the square and shouted at Daenerys in the sky.
Daenerys screamed, and the three dragons slowly flew low, and the black dragon slowly landed in the square, the hideous head and scaly body that made Doshikarin all discolored.
The dragon spewed out dragon breath, with a hot breath that caused the elders of Doshikarin to retreat.
The slave servants who wanted to gather here avoided it.
The green and red dragons landed on the roof, and the tiles were trampled and fell to the ground with a clatter.
The temple was made of tiled wooden beams, not made of rock, and the planks began to break and dust fell from the clatter of the adult dragon's body, where the dragon's claws landed.
The Kaos came out of the temple one after another.
The claws of the red and green dragons made a crisp cracking sound of wooden planks, and the tiles and planks fell with dust.
Daenerys got down from the black dragon's back, and Elder Doshikarin was an old woman with all white hair, wearing a black robe, and her hands and face were not covered with dark spots: "Daenerys, swords are not allowed here." ”
"I don't have a sword. Daenerys held up her hands.
"Fights and bloodshed are not allowed here. ”
"There will be no fighting, no bloodshed. Daenerys said coldly, "I am Kalixi of the savannah, the queen of the continent of Essos, the princess of Dragonstone born from the storm, the true dragon blood of the Targaryen royal family, the liberator of slaves, the supreme mother of dragons, the only immortal in the world, all of whom must submit to me." ”
"You're not a god!" the Doshikarins scolded.
"I am the Mother of Dragons, the Unburner, the will of the Son of God, all Kao, today, right now, either surrender or let me take away all your glory. ”
"Daenerys, how are you going to take away our glory. ”
"Dragon Flame!"
"How dare you do it here in Doshikarin. ”
"Doshi Kalin doesn't have a rule that doesn't allow him to use dragon fire to kill Kao who doesn't surrender. Rego—" Daenerys shouted.
The black dragon's eyes widened and its mouth opened, almost as long as Daenerys' height, and all of Doshikarin and Kao were shocked: "Dragon Flame!" Daenerys commanded.
A sun-like light gathered from the black dragon's throat and erupted from its mouth, like a solar fireball, the fireball was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, pulling the long flame tail, and headed straight for the Doshikarin Kao in front of him.
The screams were short, and then, Doshikarin and Kao in front of them were enveloped in dragon flames.
The slave servants were so frightened that they fell to their knees, their heads on the ground, and they did not dare to raise their heads.
More than a dozen Doshikarin and several Kao were enveloped in dragon flames and burned, each one like a candle wrapped in fire.
Doshikarin and Kao, who were standing at the gate and on the steps, were stunned, and everyone was stunned.
The Blood Alliance guards and guards of the Kao's people outside the temple looked at each other, not daring to enter.
"Surrender, or turn to ashes, I've run out of patience. Daenerys exclaimed, "There will be no more Kao in the Dothraki, only the Queen." There will be no more Blood Guardians and Doshikarin, temples here, I'm going to turn them to ashes. Rego—Drogo—Viserys—"
The three dragons immediately raised their heads and let out a deafening dragon groan.
Seven or eight Kao immediately knelt down in submission, and the few remaining Doshikarins also knelt down.
Since then, there have been no more Kao among the Dothraki, and the few remaining Doshkarins have migrated to the temple on the top of the Holy Mountain.
When Daenerys rode on the dragon and loudly announced the submission of the Kao, hundreds of thousands of Dothraki people in the entire city of Veth Holy City knelt down, and the merchants who were doing business in the market also knelt down because of their power.
Inside and outside the city, the darkness was oppressive, and hundreds of thousands of people knelt down.
Daenerys unified the Dothraki peoples, achieving the first unification of the peoples of the steppes in history.
*
Two days later, Daenerys commanded more than 200,000 cavalry to the southeast. The first place they were going to attack: Slave Bay. Slave Bay has three famous slave cities: Meereen, Yuankai, and Astapo.
Aquaman's strike fleet blocked all trade routes in Slaver Bay, landing and capturing more than a dozen small cities, but failed to capture Meereen, Yuankai, and Astapor.
They met with stubborn resistance from the slave owners.
Skilled in naval warfare, Aquaman suffered heavy losses in the siege here, and now recuperates his soldiers on several islands in Slaver's Bay, awaiting Daenerys' arrival.
Meereen, Yuankai, and Astapor did not dare to send the only hundred warships in the city's harbor to fight, and Aquaman fought with their warships many times in Slaver's Bay, winning every battle. The Mavens of the three cities all realized that on the sea, they could not compete with the Sea King.
Meereen is located on the northernmost coast of Slaver's Bay, near the mouth of the Skazadan River, on a sandy headland. To the east is a series of hills, followed by a sandstone mountain range. To reach Raza, it is necessary to pass through the Kaisai Pass.
The slave owners of Meereen, who called themselves Mavens, heard Daenerys leading the Dothraki coming, but they were not afraid.
Meereen's walls are made of brick and are multi-coloured, not simply yellow or red. The city's defenses are very strong, with high and well-maintained walls, and towers on every corner.
Most powerfully, the walls are cast of bronze harpy statues cast in metal, and the banshee's beak is sprayed with boiling oil at the enemy. It was also this boiling oil that defeated the Sea King's attacks many times.
The boiling oil was extremely hot, and it was sprayed out to form a rain curtain, and no warrior could avoid the rain curtain. The boiling oil was filled with the sorcerer's potion, and when it was contaminated with the skin, it immediately festered, and the wound emitted a foul smell.
The northern wall of Meereen runs along the banks of the river, and the river flows through the city, while the western wall is built along the bay. The sewers of the city lead to the Skazadan River.
The Maven and the wealthy citizens of the city lived in the pyramids.
