The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

The city wall is very wide, countless rolling stones are constantly being pulled up by horse and ox carts, and barrels of black kerosene are rolling up the slope.

On the broad city wall, the governors gathered together and looked at the Dothraki cavalry under the wall with ghosts. When the cavalry raised their scimitars and shouted loudly, the governors trembled with fear and their complexions were earthy.

The war with Braavos was a peace agreement concluded after a difficult victory. Braavos is the ruler of the Sea King, with a powerful fleet of warships. It is an island kingdom without any protective walls, or pride. The Braavos people disdain to build the wall, they think their battleship is the most solid wall.

As long as Pantos wants to do maritime trade, he has to establish a good relationship with Braavos, otherwise all merchant ships will be attacked by Braavos warships. The bitter fruits of the conclusion of the peace agreement are also appearing day by day. Pantos, who has lost a powerful army, is no more than a huge paper tiger, no matter how wide and thick the wall is.

But the benefits are also obvious. After peace, maritime commerce has developed rapidly, the urban population has increased, and people have become richer. The wealth of the governors is rapidly multiplying, and various businesses are getting bigger and bigger.

Among the many Kao (tribal leaders) in the Dothraki Sea (grassland) to the east, Drogo Kao is the most powerful one. After Pentos concluded a peace agreement with Braavos, he used a policy of showing goodwill to the nomads in the east. But obviously, as Drogo Kao continued to win battles, he had more and more soldiers under his command. In order to survive, the nomads who did not produce had to fight, burn, kill, loot and looting is all their lives.

Illyrio walked across the suspension bridge with three attendants, which rose quickly.

A very tall and strong man raised his hand, and the rows of scimitars behind him were lowered like waves, as if the tide was low.

The light of the knife shone, and waves of tides swayed far away.

There is no doubt that this man is the leader of this army: Kao-Drogo Kao.

Zogo Kao’s skin is like bronze, without a piece of armor on his body, a simple yellow linen cloth tied around his waist, full chest and back, a short knife on his leggings, and a scimitar on his waist. His features are full of wildness. Charm, impeccably perfect. Black eyes and black hair, black hair is very long, hanging from the back of the head to the horseback in front of him, and they are covered with golden, silver, copper and black iron bells of various sizes.

Every bell is an honorary reward for taking the opponent's life. The longer the hair, the greater the number of victories.

The defeated Dothrakis would cut their hair to show their aspirations. And Zogo Kao’s long hair means that he has never been defeated.

His black beard is also very long, tied into a thin braid. Unlike the governor who was killed by James Lannister, the governor’s beard was dyed gold, and his beard braid was tied with jewels and bells. This Zhuo Ge's braided beard is also covered with various small bells, of different colors, but there are almost no bells carved and polished by precious jewels.

Zogo Cao sat on a horse, one size bigger and taller than the burly and tall men around him. Dick Weishui looked at him and thought he was a born hero.

Illyrio jumped off his horse, Jora Mormon and Dick Weishui followed to dismount, but the Unsullied soldier did not dismount. He immediately hung his shield and held a spear, indifferent to the horse.

With a light movement of Zogo Kao, the bells on his long hair and beard rang together.

With such long hair and a large number of bells, Dick Weishui doubted whether he would hinder his skills in battle. Unless before fighting, tie your long hair around your waist and tie it into your pants waist. Seeing Zhuo Ge not wearing a piece of armor, his upper body is naked, his muscles are tangled, like a perfect body sculpture.

However, human flesh and blood cannot withstand the attacks of swords, spears, and arrows. No matter how agile, a small poison-feeding iron, a knife blade or a blow arrow can easily cut through the skin and then **** Drogo. · The life of Kao.

Behind Drogo Kao, all the men were naked, and the longbow scimitar and the long whip hung on the horse were their weapons. Looking around, none of the cavalry troops wore armor.

Moreover, I didn't even see the shield.

Dick Weishui almost didn't believe his eyes.

Such an armed and backward nation?

Very primitive!

They seem to be very powerful on the surface, but if there is a rain of arrows, they can shoot indiscriminately, such as the well-trained longbowmen in the infantry phalanx of the West. These people will fall one after another, including their horses, which are all targets.

Horses without armor protection, cavalry without armor protection, flesh and blood bodies without shields... all are targets...

Dick Weishui's previously tense body and mind slowly relax!

The overwhelming pressure of tens of thousands of people gradually began to adapt, and his hand gently left the luxurious hilt.

Governor Illyrio was talking to Zogo Cao. Dick Weishui basically couldn't understand their conversation. It was not the advanced Valyrian language, but occasionally there were a few familiar syllables.

Zogo Cao rarely speaks, basically Illyrio is talking quickly. In Dick Weishui's ears, the syllables are unique and unfamiliar, but there is a comfortable and vivid rhythm. Dick Weishui judged that Governor Illyrio was mostly speaking the tribal dialect of Dothraki.

Zogo Kao often nodded or shook his head, or simply responded to a few monosyllable words. Dick Weishui no longer listened to their conversation, even if he guessed, he knew that this was just an agreement between the two heroes to divide the spoils.

The city of Pantos is prosperous with trade and wealth. It is not wise to looting such a city. It is the most cost-effective conquest to let this city continuously produce and provide wealth: month after month, year after year.

Maybe the immediate Cao didn’t have the business mind, but Illyrio’s shrewd mind was enough to pry open his machete thoughts, and let him understand who is more important to kill a chicken and eat it or raise a chicken to lay eggs. Cost-effective.

After a while, Illyrio jumped on the horse, and Zogo Cao’s tight face showed a rare smile. He spoke a long list of words to the guards around him, and the men around him lifted the bend together. The knife yelled loudly: yo **** ho **** ho **** ho——

"Dick Weishui." Illyrio said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord."

"Tell them to put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate. The negotiation went smoothly, and Zogo Kao accepted our peace agreement."

"Yes, sir." Dick Weishui suddenly felt familiar. In the same year, his father Tywin Lannister also led the soldiers down the city. Then, the scholar sent Xier to persuade the crazy king Iris Targaryen to let go. Suspension bridge, open the city gate...

"My Excellency, the negotiation has been successfully concluded, quickly put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and greet Zogo Kao!" Dick Weishui shouted against the wall.

His voice was surprisingly loud, enough to make the governors on the city wall and the people within two miles of the city hear his shout clearly...

Until this moment, Drogo Cao officially glanced at the loud-sounding guard in bronze armor and spiked helmet. His look was like the cold blade of a knife, making Dick Weishui’s back slightly slightly. stiff……

The suspension bridge was put down, the winch of the city gate rumblingly turned, Dick Weishui clenched the hilt again, the next moment, it must be a hymn of iron and blood...

The other side of conspiracy betrayal is the glory of success and the reward of power...
