Chapter 87 The Wind Rises on the Grassland

Mungo looked at the freemen with a kind smile and said:

"This legion is called freedom. We take up arms, uphold the spirit of independence, and fight against slavery and liberate slaves all over the world.

The scholar took out pen, ink and paper and wrote down Kao's definition of the Free Legion. The uneasiness on the faces of the freemen was replaced by smiles and relaxed expressions. They bowed to Kao and walked out of the tent under the leadership of the official Ofer.

The election outside the venue never stopped from dawn to dusk. Even at dinner time, people were still running back and forth.

The night was very beautiful, with bright stars dotted in the black sky. Mungo walked out of the tent, smelled the evening breeze, and said to the scholar beside him:

"This reform is the opportunity I have been waiting for for so long. I thought something would happen. "

"It is always smooth to go from nothing to something, but the adaptation stage after the reform is the most rare and gradual process. It is not achieved overnight. "The bachelor looked at the crowd in front of him and reminded him seriously.

Monggo hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and responded:

"Okay, you are right, the process in the future will not be so easy."

Then he waved his hand again, with a trace of unknown fatigue in his eyes, and continued:

"The road of reform is difficult and long, and we must not give up all our previous efforts. As long as we persevere, a bright future is worth looking forward to.

After speaking, Monggo stopped and was silent for a moment. He rode on the warhorse tied to the side, leaving the tediousness of the tent and the venue behind, and a team of cavalry followed him, running towards the grassland like the evening breeze.

The bachelor stayed in the firelight, quietly watching his back, "May you succeed, may your reputation spread far and wide." He whispered, and then turned and entered the big tent.

Officer Ofer soon returned to the tent. He found that the bachelor was sitting under the light and thinking, and asked:

"Where is Kao?"

"He went to the grassland to hunt." The bachelor replied.

Ofer put a pile of papers on the table, patted them, and said without looking at them immediately:

"As of tonight, all tribes have elected nearly ten thousand heads of households."

"So many!" The scholar stood up and said in surprise: "Stop it! It's enough."

As the tribal affairs officer, Kao was not there, so he had to stand up and take control of the overall situation and announced: "Stop the nomination of ten heads of households, and the selection of the thousand heads of the Blood Guard will be carried out tomorrow morning."

In the middle of the night, the news that the ten heads of households had been filled spread throughout the venue. The tribesmen were hungry and left one after another with regret. The cavalry came to clean up the venue and brought the tools needed for tomorrow.

——

The night finally faded, and the sun rose as usual. All the tribesmen surrounded the venue again. The morning light gradually faded, and the ten heads of households began to enter the venue in an orderly manner.

Mungo sat on the high platform in the center, with a tired and happy expression on his face, watching the scholars lead the ten heads to the east and west training grounds. The official Ofer and the bachelor Bas Porter sat on both sides of him, with tables in front of them to record the selection of the khal.

The ten heads will receive a wooden sign, each with a number on it, temporarily replacing their identity.

The two training grounds in the east and west can accommodate ten people for training at the same time. The east side is for horse archery, with ten arrow targets, and the number of rings hit is evaluated. The west side is for horse fighting, with ten wooden stakes of different heights. Hitting the target is considered a successful kill.

The scholars outside the field will record their scores according to the numbers on the wooden signs and report them to the khal for judgment.

The grouping was completed quickly, and the first batch of ten heads who were going to practice were ready, while the rest entered the tent to rest and wait.

Mongol finally waved his hand, and the guards on the high platform blew a huge horn with all their might. The distant and vast sound sent a signal to the two training grounds in the east and west to start the drill.

The Dothraki are good at horsemanship and archery, and those who can be elected as the heads of ten households are the best among them. Everyone's wonderful performance can cause the audience to exclaim, and they all shout and congratulate them. This is the way they like: bravery and good fighting.

The audience outside can't see what is happening in the venue at all, but they are reluctant to leave. They follow the people in the front row and shout loudly. The deafening cheers resounded through the world.

This will undoubtedly affect the stable performance of the heads of ten households. However, Mongol did not send anyone to stop this behavior, because the situation on the battlefield is more anxious than that on the training ground.

The scholars sent by the official Orver and the maester Bas Porter also went deep into the outermost audience to popularize the reform measures of the khal for them, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Those who failed to be selected as the head of the ten households or lacked the ability to fight began to think carefully about their special talents. The relatives of those who died in the battle were overjoyed when they heard that the khal would recruit their children to join the blood guard.

As time passed, the audience gradually became exhausted. Mungo noticed that the maester seemed a little uncomfortable and asked:

"Is there no better way? This speed is too slow. Perhaps by the time the sun sets, at most more than a thousand people can complete the exercise."

Following the khal's gaze, he saw the maester's distressed look and laughed happily:

"This selection method is the most fair and efficient. However, we originally predicted that the number of people was 5,000, but there are nearly 10,000 heads of ten households who have been elected. We plan to expand four more training grounds on both sides of the venue tonight."

Mongo nodded and said no more. He had a lot to consider. For example, he and the craftsmen of Qohor tried to assemble a special crossbow produced by Myr that could fire three rounds at a time, including designing a scimitar that was better than the Yarakh scimitar.

However, he was not only worried about things like weapon research and development, but also about the war with Dosh Kalim. He continued to ponder for a moment, and finally sighed quietly.

At the same time, on the other side of the Dothraki Sea, under the Mother of God, Vaes Dothraki, the "City of the Horse King".

At first glance, it looks like one of the largest cities, with no walls or borders. Its huge layout is enough to accommodate all Dothraki tribes at the same time, but due to its sparse population, it can be called the smallest city, because only dosh khaleen and slaves manage and settle in the city.

A straw mansion as big as a castle, this is the residence of the elderly Mosor Khal, who leads a tribe of 20,000 people with serious aging. On weekdays, they rely on plundering caravans and hiding to survive.

Because Vaes Dothraki is the holy city of the Dothraki, there are rules that strictly prohibit the carrying of knives and all bloody fighting. Mosor Khal often returns to the holy city to avoid the pursuit of other khals.

At this time, a familiar knocking sound came from the door of the mansion, which surprised him a little.

Just three days ago, he met a messenger who claimed to be sent by his old friend Orver, who also brought a letter from his old friend.

The letter mentioned that they met a year or two ago and traveled again, which verified the identity of the messenger.

It's just that this person usually visits suddenly after dark and disappears silently before dawn. Why would he come to my house without any warning during the day today?

There is one more chapter, I am coding it.
