Chapter 84: Satisfied or Not
The next day, the horn of breaking camp sounded earlier than usual. Soon, the tribesmen, ready to go, walked towards the north on the boundless grassland.
Several long lines like long rivers cut the vast green fields into pieces. The gusts of wind blew, and it seemed that even the wind was mixed with the smell of the horses.
At about noon, more than 50 people, escorted by scouts, crossed the rolling grass hills and approached the marching troops of the Mongo tribe.
At a distance, the scout stopped and signaled to the interceptor, saying that this was the envoy of Kohor paying tribute, so he brought them here specially to ask Kao if he had time to meet the envoy.
Mongo was evaluating the progress of household registration. The conversation in front came into his ears. He raised his head and noticed this unique team.
Each of them was holding a horse carrying an iron-framed wooden box. Standing in the middle of them was a man wearing a black cloak that covered his whole body.
"Go and call Bass Porter."
After giving orders to the riders around him, Mungo shouted to the interceptors, "Let them come over. I am willing to meet them."
Under the gaze of the riders, the cloaked man calmly jumped off his horse, consciously untied the long sword tied at his waist, and went forward alone to meet Kao.
His followers stayed where they were, and worked together to unload the iron-framed wooden box from the horse's back.
"Aslan Rogaer."
Before the man approached, Mungo called out his name.
He was an envoy from Qohor, and with the rare white-gold hair tip showing through the cloak, he had already guessed the identity of this person.
This sudden revelation of his identity made Aslan's steps hasty.
He quickly took off his hood, revealing his handsome face, walked quickly to the front of the khal, bowed down and saluted, his voice still as warm and pure as a spring, and said:
"Great Mungo Khal, may you be healthy and famous!"
"Welcome, my warrior." Mungo jumped off the horse, smiled and stepped forward to hold the other's arm, saying: "I have sent someone to call your teacher, how is Qohor?"
"Please rest assured, Khal, everything is fine." Aslan said solemnly: "The task you asked me to do is also completed, please check."
While talking, the followers also came over carrying wooden boxes. They opened the top cover of the box, and a little light radiated from the box, shining with the scorching sun.
Although Mungo had thought about what was in it, the scene still made him a little intoxicated.
For a while, there was silence all around, and these people didn't know whether the khal was satisfied.
Finally, his joyful voice broke the silence:
"Good, very good, Aslan, you have done an excellent job and deserve a reward. The casting of the Qohor people is unique, and I didn't expect that the leather tanning technology is also so outstanding."
Aslan, who was standing in front of the khal waiting for evaluation, was very happy now. He approached the wooden box and explained:
"Everyone knows that the craftsmen of Qohor are famous all over the world because of their forging skills and the abundance of beautifully woven brocades. In fact, Qohor also produces excellent furs. Khal, please send someone to try these armors.
After a while, with the help of the entourage, a team of cavalrymen were all dressed in knee-length iron hoop armor. Most of the Dothraki were tall and strong, and these armors were cast according to their body shape.
Armor lining The leather material is mainly cowhide, and the leather is six layers thick. The outside is iron mesh armor, which is in the shape of armor. The armor pieces are connected like fish scales. It is extremely delicate and difficult for crossbow arrows to penetrate. The smaller the armor pieces, the higher the mobility. It can be said that this is an armor that combines flexibility and protection.
The armored cavalrymen have an Arak scimitar inserted in their waists, and carry horn bows and arrows. All of them wear iron plate leather helmets connected to neck armor. The horsehair on the top of the helmet flutters in the breeze, which looks very majestic.
However, they have a look of pain on their faces. Seeing this, Mengge couldn't help but step forward and scold:
"These armors are like your war horses. They are things that protect your lives. Now I just let you try them, and you are still reluctant. When the inspection is completed, with your strength, I am afraid that you won't even get a piece of armor. ”
After being whipped by the khal, the armored cavalrymen relaxed. He then shouted to the Dothraki who were watching:
"Among those who are not wearing armor, those with the longest braids and the best fighters should step forward."
Hearing the order, eight people stood out proudly from the bare-chested cavalrymen. Looking at their waist-length braids and countless bells, Monggo nodded with satisfaction and said:
"The number of armored people will be halved, and no weapons can be used. You will have a competition here, but no one should be killed."
As the battle whistle sounded, both sides began to enter the battle position. Soon after, the Dothraki who were watching saw a one-sided scene.
Whether it was a scimitar, a spear or an arrow, it was impossible to penetrate the iron ring armor. The eight cavalrymen immediately put down their weapons and raised their hands to express their surrender. Monggo stopped them from cutting off their braids, saying that this competition was not a win or loss.
"Take off the armor. "He shouted to the reluctant cavalrymen.
The armored cavalrymen were stunned. They suddenly felt that the hindrance of these armors to various combat skills was not big and not unacceptable. They were willing to take out half of their property in exchange.
Of course, Mengge also rejected the request of these cavalry. He decided to give priority to the assembly of the Qianhu Tuan leader and the blood ally guard.
Judging from the scene in front of them, these armored cavalry will play a decisive role in the battle with Doshkarin.
"Others pack these wooden boxes, Aslan, follow me." Mengge said with a smile: "The bachelor hasn't arrived yet, he may be too busy to leave."
After the two of them rode away, Mengge said:
"The war between us and Doshkarin is unavoidable, but we really don't know anything about the situation in the capital city of Vaes Dothraki. According to my calculations, Ofer's, and the bachelor's, their military strength must be able to They are much better than us. Therefore, the opportunity to win on the frontal battlefield lies in these strong armors. We will wait a little longer, hoping to try our best to delay this war for reunification. Before we have to meet with swords in the end, you still have to wait. How many more pieces of armor can you send?”
Aslan increased his horse speed, kept up with Kaa, smiled and whispered:
"Kaa, did you anticipate this war? That's why you asked me to prepare these armors."
Mengge glanced sideways, and the current Governor of Kohol replied:
"Unification by force is my plan, so war is inevitable. Letting the Dothraki wear armor is an important reform measure of mine."
"I understand." Aslan nodded and said calmly: "There are still two thousand pairs of iron ring armor, which have been shipped to Wes Caddock."
Hearing this number, Mengge stopped and saw a slightly stunned and confused expression on Kaa's face. He continued to explain:
"These fifty boxes of armor are the task you gave me, and those two thousand pairs of armor are gifts from the Governor's Council of Qohor. For more than a month, they have gathered armor craftsmen from all over the city to build these armor."
"Because the messenger sent by Qohor to Norvos to request reinforcements was rejected. I don't know who spread the rumor that Qohor's fleet was full of gold. However, the fleet was indeed transporting a batch of iron ore at the time, and the draft was very deep. The river pirates of Dagger Lake believed it, and under the siege of their fireships, more than half of the fleet was lost. This was a period of weakness that Qohor had never experienced before. "
"Furthermore, since the destruction of the city, the myth of the Unsullied's invincibility has been destroyed, and the people of Qohor no longer trust their abilities. You have conquered the armies of Volantis and reminded them of the piece of wood inserted at the city gate. "Spear Forest" is filled with fear. At the same time, they can't guess that you have no real reason to attack the outer city. Therefore, they are uneasy if you don't leave the Rhoyne River. They just think that the gift they gave you last time has not been used. You are satisfied.”
I wish all college entrance examination students to perform exceptionally well! You get what you want! The future is bright!
During the first two years of my career, every year during the college entrance examination, I still couldn’t forget myself when I thought of myself. Later, as time went by, I paid less attention to it, and this year I completely forgot about it.
Dear candidates, stay calm and do well in the exam.
