Chapter 118 True Wealth

The endless grassland is like a green sea soaking the Notre Dame Mountain. The morning air is warm and soft, and it is also filled with the fragrance of grass leaves and flowers.

The deer were hidden among the knee-high Helena grass, making gurgling sounds, enjoying it all as if they were tasting sweet spring water.

Suddenly, as if they heard the footsteps of the hunter, they jumped out immediately, and their agile eyes followed the sound and moved to the west.

They saw a fast-moving shadow on the green land in the distance. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and quickly ran towards the mountains and forests in the north.

What appeared in the eyes of the deer was not a black shadow, but many cavalrymen. The spears in their hands reflected the light of needlepoints in the sun.

Farther behind them were the rising smoke and the trembling sound of the earth that could be felt even by the weeds.

This group of cavalry moved as fast as a thunderstorm, and their rough and strong shouts came along the grassland.

They ran along the flat ground south of the foot of the mountain. All of them were extremely strong. They had scimitars on their belts. The fluffy black tassels on the tops of their helmets were flying in the wind. Their exquisitely crafted armors hung down to their knees. The scene was very spectacular.

They worked in pairs, advancing in a tight formation, glancing left and right from time to time, lowering their heads close to the horses' necks, and observing the traces on the ground to ensure that there was nothing unusual that could threaten the safety of the army behind them.

Soon after, a series of densely packed flags finally descended, and as far as the eye could see, the grassland seemed to be covered with black flowers.

Whistle after whistle echoed each other, intertwined with the sound of horse hooves and neighing to form the most majestic hymn of mankind.

Meng Ge took the lead and walked at the core of the array. Behind him was a large gilded banner of galloping horses. This is the main flag of the entire tribe and a great symbol of the entire army. The person holding the flag is the Chinese Army Qianhu Nuohat. Behind the flag Marching Khal's bloodriders.

Further back, the first military flag in the middle depicts a giant, holding a spear and a shield in preparation for an assassination. Marching under the military flag is the Battu Camp composed of free people.

Most of them came from various free trade cities in Essos. They carried reddish-brown shields and wore tattered leather armor. Although there were only more than a thousand people, the aura they exuded was simply terrifying.

On the left and right sides of Battu Camp are sixteen left-wing legions and twenty-seven right-wing legions advancing with their respective military flags. The coats of arms on their flags are the same. They all depict a galloping horse and a rider. Hold the knife in a chopping motion.

The men and horses merged into a turbulent sea, and even during the march, they still maintained their fighting formation.

Behind them, in the dust that blocked the sky, countless carriages and troops were marching. No one could see all the military formations at a glance, because the entire column was five miles wide.

Before noon, the army arrived near Vaes Dothraki. They stationed themselves in the open space outside the city and set up a huge white tent in the center of the camp so that Kaa could summon anyone.

Before the camp was set up, Maester Bass Potter flew over happily like a bird with wings.

The moment he saw Kaa's figure, he could no longer restrain his emotions, quickened his pace, came to the tent at an alarming speed, and shouted loudly:

"The Great Khal, King of the Dothraki."

Meng Ge was surprised to see the bachelor jump off the horse as strong as a goat, no longer as frail as before, he laughed and said:

"Bachelor, it's great to see you again. It seems that you have gained a lot in the Holy City."

"We haven't been separated for too long!" The bachelor stopped a few steps away from Meng Ge, carefully arranged his clothes, bowed seriously, and then raised his head and said:

"Sixty thousand against two hundred thousand, I think there must be a fascinating story. The whole world doesn't see this kind of scene very often."

Meng Ge's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, as if he was recalling a long-forgotten scene in his memory. He chuckled a few times and said:

"After that, you can listen to the voices of every warrior as much as you want. Time waits for no one. We still have many urgent things that cannot wait. Please tell me about the situation of the Holy City and Hasha first!"

The bachelor was thoughtful and did not continue to ask. Then he took a deep breath, his face showed excitement that was difficult to describe in any words, and said:

"The wealth of Vaes Dothraki exceeds our imagination, Doshkarin. Each Dothraki Khal has residences and storage rooms in the city. Those nondescript stone tents, pyramids, and temples are very luxuriously decorated. , which contains valuable gold, as well as beautifully forged weapons and treasures made from dragon bones, Valyrian steel and various gemstones, as well as a large amount of currency and gold and silver jewelry from various countries throughout the centuries. Unfortunately, we cannot estimate it now. their value.”

"Actually, the real treasure is the 300,000 tribesmen and countless cattle, sheep and horses. But in order to maintain the stability of the city, I did not deal with them. In addition, there are 70,000 residents in the Holy City. Most of these people were slaves.”

"The most important buildings in the city are the east and west markets, which have been taken over by our army. This has caused some dissatisfaction among the merchants. According to my understanding, they could have traveled freely and undisturbed between the Dothraki Sea. , as long as they abide by the precepts of the Holy City not to use force, do not desecrate the Holy Mother Mountain and the Womb Lake of the World, and give gifts of salt, gold and silver to the Doshkarim old women according to tradition.”

"The West City Market is a huge market occupied by merchants from the Free Trade City. They trade a variety of goods such as wine, food, slaves, and livestock."

The scholar excitedly described the situation in the Holy City. At this point, he stopped, and the smile on his face gradually calmed down, revealing a look of deep thought.

After a moment, he continued carefully:

"Have you heard of the Jade Sea, a place full of mystery and adventure? It is located east of the Summer Sea and south of Essos. It is surrounded by cities in Yi Ti and Asshai. Except for merchants, few people go there. Legend has it that a merchant ship can become rich enough to rival a country after passing through the Jade Sea once."

"The nearest starting point to the Jade Sea is the Jade Sea Gate, which is a strait located at the southern foot of the Skeleton Mountains. The city of Qarth is located at this throat that controls the trade between the East and the West. They command a luxurious fleet, control the Jade Sea Gate, and prosper by levying taxes on passing ships."

"Do you know that the East Market of Weiss Dothrak is full of merchants from Yi Ti, Asshai, and even the Shadow Land. They trade silk, spices, jade, ebony, lion-headed scorpion tail beasts, gray elephants and other extremely rare and precious goods there, and the goods brought back by the merchant ships that go to the Jade Sea are silk and spices."

" Under the influence of the best sea conditions and prevailing wind direction, it takes at least two years to travel from Pentos to the Jade Sea by taking a fixed trade route without any setbacks. However, the caravan from Pentos to Vaes Dothrak, even at the slowest speed, only takes half a year. "

"You have also received the news sent back by Captain Harsha. He and Soth defeated the Jugsnai together. At this time, he is leading the army to a stalemate with the enemy, actually waiting for your order. "

"I suggest that you meet Soth in person. As long as we control the three roads in and out of the Skeleton Mountains, wealth will flow into your empire continuously. Moreover, we don't have to worry about invasions from the Far East at any time. You can conquer all the city-states in central and western Essos with confidence. "

After hearing these words, Mungo's eyes became clear and bright, piercing people's hearts like sunlight. Until this moment, he realized what kind of brilliant and shining wealth the Dothraki people possessed.
