Chapter 57 Storm on the Summer Sea

There were no stars or moon in the night sky, and the weak white light shrouded the earth in black and gray shadows.

Corsolo described lying haggardly next to a broken old tree stump, looking around at the plains, which were all desolate scenes with no grass growing and no birds or animals.

He tried hard to fight against the sleepiness that kept coming, but he could barely stay awake.

It was almost impossible to remember how much time had passed since they had entangled Drogo's army.

In these days, although they failed to lead Drogo into the designated valley as planned, and sometimes suddenly lost sight of their target, they still dragged each other to the south bank of the Valanna River.

Sometimes, in this silent wasteland, Corsolo would imagine that he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, which was reinforcements sent by Kaa. When he listened carefully, he could hear nothing, only the sound of the sea breeze. A faint ringing sound through the braids.

He had sent a large number of exploration riders to the north yesterday, with the purpose of getting in touch with Kaa as much as possible. He knew very well how annoyed Drogo's opponent was by their harassment.

If they don't break out in pain, they will die in pain. According to the enemy's silence tonight, if they cannot get support from the tribe, maybe they will face the enemy's crazy counterattack alone tomorrow morning.

Suddenly, a flash of light came at a very fast speed and lit up the entire sky. At the same time, a muffled sound of thunder came from the south, followed closely by a violent gust of wind.

Corsolo's lethargy subsided immediately. He stood up, staggered back a few steps, looked up at the flashing thunder of the summer sea in the south, smelled the fishy smell of the sea breeze in the air, and muttered to himself. road:

"The storm is coming. It's a pity that this is a good opportunity. The enemy must have stepped up their vigilance due to the many previous attacks. Furthermore, we need to be careful to guard against the other party's surprise attacks."

When he thought of this, he also felt the sea breeze that gradually became cold and stinging. He immediately called the guards to his side and lowered his voice and ordered:

"We can't rest so close to the enemy anymore. It's not safe here. And before the heavy rain falls, we have to find a sheltered camp to wake up all the soldiers. However, they are all very tired and nervous. They must be Do it quietly.”

After a long time, under the dazzling white light, Corsolo led his army on the desolate plains in the middle of the night, heading towards the mountains and forests in the north, and soon merged into the darkness in the distance.

Time passed slowly, and a dark light appeared in the sky. Along with the biting wind, the mountain-like dark clouds threw lightning onto the land, like a prelude to war.

At this time, on the bank of the river less than six miles away from the source of the Valanna River, Nohat was leading the way east, with five thousand cavalry galloping along with him.

The road along the river was not difficult, and their speed was very fast. Before, Jiaco and others stopped and delayed the journey for two or three days, but they only needed one night to arrive.

Thunder kept hitting the world that had been regarded as a battlefield by the gods. Nohat turned sideways to look back at the team behind him, and saw a dazzling lightning strike, just like a crack opening in the sky.

He shook his head heavily before he could see the scene in front of him clearly again. He breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"You know, I almost thought I was blind and couldn't see anything. That lightning must be a spear thrown by the gods. It probably has some mysterious power."

His joking words could not hide his serious tone. In fact, the execution of this mission was not as pleasant as he expected. After the surprise, the pressure continued to come.

Nohart began to worry that the storm would turn the ground muddy and slippery, so he rushed as hard as he could to beat the wind and rain.

What he was most worried about was how to quickly find Drogo's camp and send Jaco back without any intelligence, and how to spend the least time to join Corsolo.

However, when he was blinded by lightning again, he figured out why Kaa sent him as a vanguard, that is, he had performed countless exploration missions as a scout.

He seemed to have confidence now, and finally figured out the focus of the mission. In the vast wilderness, it was much easier for them to find traces of a large number of scouting riders than to blindly find a camp.

The entire sky was completely dark and gloomy. They arrived at the source of the Valanna River, and then the troops needed to turn south.

Nohat raised his hand to cover the dazzling flash, and carefully explored the ground in the distance. Then he scratched his itchy scalp, plucked off a piece from it, and looked at it comfortably. The riders shouted:

"I really miss the scorching sun of the past. I have never seen such gloomy weather since the Dothraki Sea emerged from the west. The sight in front of us today is not good. Likewise, we don't have much time to delay and let all the cavalry disperse. Form a formation, keep a visual distance, and march south abreast, whether it's ours or the enemy's, in short, look for all traces of Dothraki riders."

Under the gray light of the day, Nohat and five thousand cavalry spread out and galloped on the plain. From a height, it looked like a thin wave line sweeping forward.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen dead bodies lying in the blood-stained open space in the distance. Two black figures hurriedly drove away their horses, quickly smeared blood all over their bodies, and fell to the ground.

On the open plain, the two living people had nowhere to hide. They could only pretend to be dead bodies without moving. The Dothraki would not touch the bodies killed by others, so the two had a chance to escape.

They listened to the heavy sound of horse hooves approaching, and soon, they seemed to hear someone jumping off the warhorse, and then they could clearly hear the conversation of the people coming.

"It looks like there are two teams of scouts fighting here. You are responsible for covering, I will go to check and see if there are any living people."

"Don't go over there, or send someone to inform Norhat first. He asked us to report to him immediately if we found anything, and he always found something extraordinary in such a situation before."

The man who walked to the dead body was stopped by his companion in time, and the two people crawling on the ground temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

They held the scimitars pressed under their bodies tightly and waited patiently. If the person who sounded like a leader approached the body, they could hold the other person hostage and leave alive.
