Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 14 Drogo's Funeral

"There are more than 200 people, and there are no more than 100 people who can fight. The elite roaring warriors are only 60 of your Cass troops. They" Jolla paused, showing a look of unbearable expression, and sighed: "It is foreseeable , During the long journey in the future, half of the old, the weak, the sick and the young will die."

"What about supplies?" Dany asked with a frown.

"It can be guaranteed that everyone has a horse, and there are only more than 200 cows and sheep in total. After the water source Kalatha left, the stream was barely enough for us, but it was a bit far away, about five kilometers away."

Dani asked suspiciously, "There isn't even a single piece of grass nearby. What do horses and sheep eat these days?"

"There are reddish-brown devil grass in the crevices of the stone. Although it is hard and tough, it is enough to feed the horses, but this situation will not last long. The resources here have been exhausted, and we must move." Rakalo warned her.

"Where are you going?" Dani's heart moved, and she tested Ma Min: "What are your plans next? If I reorganize this little Cass into a khalasar, and let the four of you become my bloodriders, will you accept it?"

Dany's words seemed to have caused a lot of trouble to the centaur warriors. After thinking for a while with a frown, Quilo first refused, "It's impossible. Being a woman's bloodrider would make me feel ashamed, and the bloodrider only Three."

Dani looked at the next person, and Ago lowered his eyes, "I can't swear, only men can lead the khalasar."

"You are a Khaleesi, and only a Khaleesi," Rakharo went on, "and I will ride with you to Vistoslak at the foot of the Mother's Mountain, and protect you from danger until you join the Dosh Kalin crone. I can't promise more than that."

"I"

"Okay, I see." Before the last Jhogo could speak, Dany interrupted him angrily, "Leave this matter aside, our first big thing now is to send the great Khal Drogo Return to the kingdom of night."

However, Knight Jorah suddenly stood up from the cross-legged position, and pulled out the sword from his waist with a bang, the sharp edge of the sword dazzled Dany's eyes.

Then Jorah Mormont knelt down on one knee and laid his sword at Dany's feet. "I swear to serve you, my lord, and to do all your will, even at the cost of my life."

He glanced sideways at the four centaurs around him, and announced forcefully: "I swear by the sword in my hand and the bear emblem of my family, no one will take you back to Vestoslak unless you voluntarily." , you don't need to join the Dosh Kaling."

The four Mamin looked at each other, their almond-shaped black eyes gleaming with confusion and uneasiness.

It seems that Westeros, which is broken and happy, also has a loyal minister with noble character!

Although Sir Jorah's purpose is not pure, and his loyalty is more due to unrequited love, Dany is still very happy.

"According to the tradition of the Dothraki, Kaa will ride a steed in the fire to return to the arms of the horse god, so I order you to lead the knights to gather all the firewood, dry grass, and vines that can burn."

This is a place of bitter cold that cannot be lived for long, and Dani must leave as soon as possible.

Hearing that Dany was going to cremate Drogo, the two bloodriders who had been depressed left Drogo's bed again, and they also had to prepare their bags.

"You go out first, I want to end his pain and humiliation." Dany said to the maid beside her.

Drogo hadn't woken up for four days, half of his chest was black and rotten, but he still breathed weakly. This was both a painful torment and a great humiliation for him—a great mounted warrior shouldn't lie on the bed all the time .

It took Dany 3 minutes to relieve him with a feather pillow, cut his rotting flesh, and after emptying out the pus and blood, filled his chest cavity with viscous ointment.

Irri and Jiki helped Drogo clean up his hair and body, and Dany washed and rebraided his long hair, wrapping it around a string of little bells.

Bells more, gold, silver, and bronze, which would announce his coming to his enemies, and make them fear even in the realm of death.

Then Doria put on horsehair leggings and high boots for him, and tied a heavy belt full of gold and silver medals around his waist.

Together, Irri and Jiki lifted Drogo's broad, bony body and helped him slip the painted vest over the scar on his chest.

Although the vest was old and faded, it was one of his favorites.

Dani originally planned to hold the cremation tonight, but by the time the sun went down, there was not enough firewood. Jogo went the farthest, riding a horse to the north for [-] kilometers, and almost returned to the sphere of influence of the goatmen.

"They shot me with bows and arrows, and the sheep people don't welcome the horse people." Jogo said angrily.

Isn’t this nonsense, you cut leeks, and every year when you go south from Mawang City to Dacaohai, you have to go to the Laza River Basin to "grass the valley".

Uh, this year seems to be particularly evil, two Kayos in a row were planted in the "novice village".

Jogo soon became excited again, and said, "But I met the Kalasar of Odo. They heard that I was preparing firewood for Khao's funeral, and offered to help us lay down a village as a sacrifice."

Odo is also Drogo's former Kou. The khalasar he separated from is not big, and the big heads are eaten by Bono and Jaco - more than 4 roaring warriors, Bonola walks 1, and Jacora walks [-] , The remaining more than [-] warriors were divided up by a dozen or so Kou, and a khalasar only had one or two thousand warriors.

Of course, in the vast Dothraki Sea, a khalasar of thousands of people is the norm.Similar to Drogo before, he is a rare overlord on the grassland.

"Kao Odo has bad intentions. He is probably ordered by Bono and the others. In order to wait for you, he has been waiting in the north." After Jogo left, Jorah said solemnly: "Your Highness, what are you thinking? You tried With Quelo they obviously don't want to be Dosh Kaling in Mawangcheng, so we seem to be stuck.

And your khas are loyal to you, but have a will of their own—a centuries-old Dothraki tradition. "

Dany gave him a soothing look, "You will understand this matter in two days."

The next day, at dawn, Ke Suo rode alone to the north to the place agreed with Otto, and at noon he brought back a large team of horses.

Ten Odokalasar knights escorted [-] goat slaves. The slaves were strung together with ropes, their faces full of despair.

There were also a dozen slaves driving more than a dozen carriages.

The wagon was piled with bundles of chopped firewood, um, and castor oil.

"These slaves will accompany us on the journey of the night." Ke Suo said coldly.

Dany wore loose sand silk trousers and sandals strapped to the knees, and a painted Dothraki vest similar to Drogo's.

"Kayo has you, accompanied by five hundred of the most loyal warriors, and doesn't need those cowardly goat slaves." She rejected other people's plan to die without hesitation.

"You—" Ke Suo raised his whip with a vicious look on his face.

"Be honest, I'm in charge now!" Dani said coldly.

Quilo and Jorah were beside her, and just behind her were Argo and Rakharo with their bows aimed at Koso.

Hundreds of people worked all afternoon. Before sunset, the firewood was stacked into a square five meters long and four meters high. The hollow was filled with straw, shrubs, bark and hay. This is Kayo’s “master bedroom” .

On the cremation altar are the treasures of Khal Drogo: his blanket, painted vest, saddle and bridle, the whip that his father gave him when he was a man, the arakh he used to kill Khal and son Ogo, and That huge keel longbow.

Jhogo was going to put the weapons that Drogo's bloodriders gave Dany as a bridal gift, but she stopped her.

"Those are mine," she told him, "and I'll keep them."

After thinking about it, Dani took the two of them back to the foot of the hill, and dug up a layer of red soil in a corner of the earth and rocks, revealing several leather bags the size of cement bags.

"crash"

Lifting the end of the bag, a dazzling golden river splashed out, and the golden piece turned out to be full of gold medals the size of a child's palm.

Drogo had a total of ten boxes of gold medals. Dany dug up three boxes of gold and buried them. Among the ten boxes thrown out, [-]% were filled with brass medals.

Tens of thousands of people looted, and they couldn't even tell how many boxes were lost, so they didn't know that Danni was pretending to be fake.

The savage and upright centaurs haven't evolved this routine yet.

A further layer of gold medals was spread over the khal's treasure, and then bales of hay were placed.

Seriously, Ketho and Haggo carried Drogo's body out of the tent, while the Dothraki watched silently.

They let him lie on his own pillow and silk quilt, with his head looking towards the Notre Dame mountain in the far northeast.

Rakharo brought Drogo's crimson mount. It was tall and ferocious, and its body was as red as coal fire. Its fur was as smooth as the most precious silk and satin.

The Dothraki were a harsh and ruthless people. According to their customs, they never named animals, otherwise Drogo's mount would have a name that has been passed down through the ages, just like those famous horses in ancient China.

The horse was very honest today, and was led obediently to the east of Drogo's cremation altar.

As if knowing its own fate, it lifted the horse's head, barely reached Drogo's head, and licked his face. Two strings of crystals dripped from the agate-like eyeballs, moistening Drogo's temple hair and pillow.

Then it ate a shriveled apple that Dany handed over, stomped on the spot, raised its head and neighed for a while before calming down.

Facing the ax blade that Rakharo slashed face to face, it showed no fear and did not dodge, and was chopped to the ground neatly.

The horse people used firewood to build a platform on the horse carcass, using the trunks of small trees and branches of big trees. The firewood was placed from east to west, symbolizing the rising of the sun and the setting of the setting sun.

Ke Suo and Hago built a slightly lower platform in the north and south directions of Drogo, which was also covered with property and weapons. They also brought their own mounts. Like Drogo's red horse, they fed an apple and cut off their heads with an axe. .

The cremation altar belonged to two bloodriders, who cleaned themselves up and lay down on it, holding their arakhs.

Extending along the platform of the Blood Riders, Ma Min used tree branches to build a long third-level platform.Drogo's is four meters high, Bloodrider's is three meters high, and this one is two meters high, covered with dry leaves and dead branches, placed from north to south, symbolizing black ice to raging fire.

On the third level of the cremation altar, five hundred human heads were stacked one by one, the heads of the warriors who died with Koholo.Finally, the soft pillows and silk quilts are piled on the top, so that they are piled high.

Well, Koholo himself had his head on Drogo's side.
