Chapter 89 Return to Prepare for Battle

The moonlight, as clear as flowing water, poured onto the vast grassland. The bonfire swayed slightly in the wind, reflecting the surroundings. Cavalrymen in twos and threes were scattered around, guarding the big white tent in the center of the venue.

There was silence in the tent, and Mengge sat aside tiredly, as if lost in his thoughts.

He seemed to have closed his eyes, but the corner of his eye was still glaring at Ofer and the others, listening to the subtle sounds they made when they turned over the papers.

The drill and selection of nearly 10,000 people lasted for six days. Now, the scholars need to record and archive the rosters checked by Kaa, and write out the appointment letters overnight so that they can be issued after dawn.

Time passed slowly. I don't know how long it had passed. Ofer walked to the door and opened the curtain, and the sunlight streamed into the tent again.

Then, he picked up a stack of parchment rolls on the table with both hands, came to Mengge, and called softly:

"Kaa, this is the recruitment roster for the Blood Alliance Guards. The appointment certificates for the ten heads of households and the leaders at all levels have also been written. Please make your decision."

Meng Ge was staring blankly at the embers in the light. It was not until his entire vision was blocked that he woke up from the sea of ​​​​fire. He was surprised to find that it was daybreak and the sunny grassland was already outside the door.

He patted his head, with joy shining in his eyes, and reached out to take the roster handed over by Ofer, and quickly checked it over.

Then, he stood up, walked to the long table, flipped through the appointment certificate on the table, raised his head and looked around the tent. Everyone was watching his every move, and said loudly:

"Thank you for your hard work. If there are no mistakes, please send it out!"

After hearing Kaa's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ofo took the list back with both hands and took the scholars for final inspection.

——

At this time, the outside of the venue was already crowded with people. They gathered here before dawn.

As they waited, the sky gradually turned from dusk to the fish-belly white of dawn, and everyone stared intently at the white tent opposite.

Suddenly, the galloping horse on the top of the tent flashed a little golden light, and in just a blink of an eye, thousands of rays of light burst out from behind the tent.

When half of the rising sun jumped over the undulating horizon, and the golden light in the sky spread over the sea of ​​​​grass, Kaa led a group of scholars holding parchments in their hands and walked out of the big tent. They climbed to the high platform in the center of the venue under the gaze of everyone. .

With the majestic horn sound roaring into the sky and echoing across the grassland, the cavalry poured into the venue. Mengge looked at these tall, strong, brave and capable warriors and nodded with satisfaction.

Under the dome, the Dothraki cavalry were clad in red light, lined up in formation, and stood quietly, listening, waiting for Kaa's test. The entire venue was silent.

Only Kaa can appoint the bloodriders. Mengge walked out of the rising sun in the east with a book of names in his hands.

His eyes flashed with excitement, his facial muscles trembled slightly, thunder accumulated in his chest, and he shouted loudly:

“I, Khal Menggo, enlist a thousand people today to become my blood, to live and die with me, to fight side by side, and to protect me from danger.

"My warriors will do what no Dothraki in history has ever accomplished. They will rise in the wilderness, the Shivering Sea of ​​the Arctic, the Narrow Sea to the west, the Bone Mountains to the east, and the Summer Sea to the south. I will fight wherever my horse heads, and I will take this as my oath, and the stars in the sky as my witness.”

Nearly ten thousand Dothraki cavalry witnessed Kaa's majestic oath to swallow the mountains and rivers. In an instant, the cheers were like thunder, resounding through the sky.

"Kaa Mungo, Kaa Mungo!"

"The blood of my blood, the blood of my blood!"

"Wherever the horse heads, he will be invincible. The sky witnesses this, and I swear this!"

The soldiers faced the Our Lady Mountain in the east, roared, raised their fists, and swore an oath under the gaze of the sky. These words were sonorous, powerful, and earth-shattering.

It wasn't until Mengge made a pressing gesture with his hands that the audience gradually returned to calm, and he continued to shout:

"Now we recruit the following warriors to serve as the Blood Alliance Guards' Central Army's Thousand Households and Sixth Thousand Households: Nohat..."

…

Every time Kaa read out a name, there would be scholars in the audience repeating the order to all parties. Soldiers who heard their name needed to immediately ride to the East Campus to gather and verify their identities.

At this time in the audience, Hasha stood in the array with a very solemn expression, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to his name. As people left the place one after another, his eyebrows began to frown tightly.

Among the tribe, the person he admired most was Mengo Kao, but if there was a target he wanted to pursue, it could only be Corsoro.

He knew that Kou's dream was to become Kaa's bloodrider, so he was basically selected for the bloodrider selection this time.

"Hasha, thank you for your help. I don't quite understand these reform measures, about hundreds of households, thousands of households and management. If you hadn't reminded everyone that day to run for the election of ten household heads, I would have had no chance to enter. Bloodrider."

"You were drafted?"

Hasha stared at the extremely strong person and asked in surprise.

Seeing the other party nodding affirmatively, he suddenly felt a little disappointed and sad. When he thought that others were not inferior to his own fighting skills, he still suppressed the sadness in his chest and said with a smile:

"Then congratulations, you'd better gather at the school grounds as soon as possible to avoid being misunderstood as refusing to be recruited, which will result in being expelled from the tribe."

The man didn't seem to be very smart. After hearing his advice, he hurried away without even saying goodbye.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving in a panic, Hasha took a deep breath, finally regained some composure, and murmured to himself:

"I'm sorry, I know you don't mean any harm, but I just can't help teasing you because I'm so sad. Why hasn't my name been called yet?"

Until the last name was called out by Kao, no one could answer his question.

——

At this time, Mungo, standing on the high platform, was concentrating on looking at the formation below the stage. Seeing that everyone was no longer as excited as when they took the oath, they all looked discouraged.

He exhaled suddenly and shouted passionately:

"You also made the same oath to me. The sky bears witness to my blood."

Hearing the call of Kao, the passion in the hearts of the cavalry in the array burned again. They raised their heads and looked at Mengge, raised their arms and shouted as if they were swearing: "Mongge Kao, my blood."

Mongge smiled brightly and continued to shout:

"All of you are my most trusted warriors. Therefore, you can accept my appointment and shoulder the burden of protecting the stability of the people in one area. Go to lead your own thousand households, hundred households, and ten households, and go through life and death with your closest relatives and fight together. You must not live up to my trust and become a competent guardian as soon as possible."

"At the same time, in recognition of your achievements, your children will accept my call and be selected into the blood guards of the blood guards. Your glory will continue to your bloodline."

After that, he stood there quietly, listening to the enthusiastic cheers of the warriors below the stage.

Mungo slowly stretched out his hand, and when his fingers touched the hilt, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar and held it high in the sun. He roared, and then shouted in a powerful voice:

"The minions of the Dosh Khaleen are all over the Dothraki Sea, and they will never be willing to sit still. Now we can't let our guard down. Our enemies can't see the future clearly. They are stubborn and ignorant. Only when the real threat or death comes will they wake up."

"Everyone, go back and prepare for battle!"

The cavalry seemed to have received an ancient call. They manipulated their restless war horses, pulled out their scimitars at the same time, held them horizontally in front of them, and shouted in unison:

"Follow the order of Mungo Khal."

There is one more chapter, I will revise it in the morning and send it out.

I'm a little stuck. Originally, this chapter was going to write about the selection of blood guards, hundreds and thousands of households. As I wrote, I felt that it was not good enough. The more detailed I wrote, the more loopholes there were, so I deleted them all.
