Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest.

Chapter 44
When the horse king Drogo led the army around the Varanna River, the sun had already risen from the east, and the dark blue sky light made the Volantis wasteland in front of him stained with gray and white gloom.

The army marched along a sandy road along the river in the north, and crossed the trident river bend where the tributaries converged. In the extreme distance in front of them on the left was the black wall of Volantis.

As the army advanced, the two-hundred-foot wall grew taller, clearer and darker.

The sun rose slowly behind the army and hovered above everyone's heads. The black clouds also gathered and tightened, forming a thick pile, as if a storm was coming in the east. Today is a pretty sweltering day for this season.

There were many cavalry sent by khal all around. These scouts had ridden far to scout the enemy, so they were eager to surprise the rival tribes there in Volantis.

The straight-line distance from the source of the Varanna to Volantis was about sixty miles, and Drogo the Horselord feared that he would arrive too late, so he gave the order to proceed at full speed, stopping only occasionally to rest.

Fortunately, each of the Dothraki cavalry has three excellent war horses, and the Dothraki war horses are also good at running for a long time.

The army continued to advance, but there were still many miles to go. They had been driving non-stop for seven hours.

The air grew heavier, towering dark clouds shrouded the sun in a black mist, gray light rolled down the earth, and the scimitars of the cavalry reflected pale death.

Before the clouds passed overhead, the vanguard of the army saw a black speck approaching, a galloping Dothraki horseman.

At last he came before the guarding horsemen, a Dothraki with a hard-eyed, cruel smile, Khal Drogo's bloodrider Qotho.

He kept panting, but still laughed wildly and waved the blood-stained scimitar in his hand. Behind the horse was dragging a bloody human with a missing wrist.

Ke Suo didn't stop. He galloped back to Drogo, wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with his hands, carefully watched the horse king's indifferent expression, and squeezed out the strength to speak while panting:

"Kao, we defeated the enemy's scouts, most of the soldiers were killed, and the rest of the remnants fled in all directions. During the battle, our soldiers were superior in number. Many of their scouts died in the process of scouting, and they suffered such heavy losses. , but refused to be forced to increase troops to support, must have sent all the scouts out, the enemy's troops are too few, this is not normal, it seems that there is no hope for the battle ahead that you are looking forward to."

After the other party finished speaking, Drogo said nothing, deliberately suppressed the anger condensed on his face, and then rode forward:

"Hargo, come before me, the Dothraki will never go back without a fight."

This man was another of Drogo's bloodriders, and he loathed the cruel Ketho.

Hearing the call, a gleam of joy flooded his face, he straightened his back, showing a huge figure, staring at Kayo in front of him with wide eyes, then immediately bent down to salute, offering his loyalty and bravery:

"Kayo, please order."

Drogo stared at the strong man in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"They dodge like rabbits in the grasslands, and it fills me with rage, but it's sure to wake up the hungry lions, Hargo, I'll give you 1 Dothraki cavalry, let's go and plug the rabbit hole. "

At this moment, a group of cavalry flew towards them like arrows. Under the sky, their figures were like galloping eagles flying across the ground.

When Drogo gave the order, the horsemen rode some distance before stopping, and finally, only one man came over alone.

The man was Koholo the Bloodrider, an old Dothraki but undeniable in his stature and wisdom, who had rescued young Drogo from sellswords.

"On the road, I encountered the enemy's broken soldiers who seemed to be running aimlessly, but their ultimate goal was towards the coast further south. The enemy's army should be hiding there, but the opponent's strength is not much."

After Koholo whispered a few words in Kayo's ear, he turned around to look at the bloodriders, grinned his mouth full of broken teeth, twitched his hooked nose, and shouted loudly:

"Although the captured soldiers will want to conceal the deceit and exaggerate the number of soldiers, but I have talked face-to-face with the young soldiers who are relatively inexperienced among the enemy. I believe that the strength we gather here is several times that of the opponent's troops."

"Then we should be faster." Hago, who has accepted Kayo's heavy responsibility, couldn't help but continue to remain silent, shouting in a muffled voice:

"Let's rush to kill these enemies who are blocking the front, and then look for the enemy's main force."

"Don't be impulsive, what I'm worried about will happen soon." Koholo slapped his bald head vigorously, shaking his short and fat body, and said worriedly:

"The enemy's Kaa is a brave man. He has the will and wisdom to ride the steeds of the world in the prophecy. He may have known the news of our troops coming. He deliberately ran away to avoid us. Until now, our scouts have not even asked I can't find any news about him, and I can't find the location of the main force led by him."

"There are rivers and stagnant water not far in front of them. They have to turn around and fight. We can rush into their ranks like a storm sweeping down the grassland." Horse King Drogo couldn't hold back his anger anymore: "They don't stop in front of us." Running away makes me angry."

"I'm afraid the main force of the enemy will not appear here." Koholo fiddled with the handle of the knife in his hand, looked at the people in front of him and said:

"The black wall of Volantis is as difficult to conquer as a cliff, so the Dothraki seldom attack here. We are not familiar with the surrounding conditions. The enemy may escape to any place through unknown roads, leaving the least force to contain them. us."

"This is bad news, damn old woman Doshkalin." Without waiting for someone to respond, Koholo continued anxiously:
"We were preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy at the beginning, but we didn't expect to face delays. On the north bank of the Varanna River, our other army was advancing alone. In the grassland behind us, all the old, weak, women and children of the tribe gathered , Not only that, all our food and livestock are also concentrated there, if any enemy finds out, they can completely destroy everything."

"Are we just waiting here? We must kill all the enemies quickly." Blood Alliance Guard Ke Suo patted the leather bag on the horse's back and asked:

"Do you have enough supplies? Do we have to pay a huge price if we want to find food at the Black Wall of Volantis?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the grayness in the sky, and their fatigue was swept away. Even the horses were unwilling to be lonely.

At this moment, the exclamation of the horses came from the direction of the river in the distance, and the dull air predicted the coming of the storm.

Suddenly, a dazzling sun pierced the dark clouds and pierced the earth from the west, and the wind picked up.
