#347 - Chapter 81: Rescue the Queen (Part 2)

Before long, Moro Kao led his band of warriors in a hurried arrival. Because their warhorses had never seen such a behemoth as a dragon, no amount of whipping could make them approach it.

The Dothraki warriors raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the dragon, but their slightly trembling hands betrayed their extreme unease and fear.

At this moment, Moro Kao, for reasons unknown, actually demanded that Daenerys hand over the dragon to be shot to death. Faced with Moro Kao's unreasonable request, Daenerys naturally would not easily compromise. After a fierce negotiation, the two sides still failed to reach an agreement. In the end, the impatient Rhaegal directly rewarded them with a fierce burst of dragon flame. The fiery dragon flame instantly engulfed Moro Kao and his loyal blood riders, burning them to ashes.

With the Kao dead, his khalasar lost its core and cohesion, and naturally began to disintegrate. Those with a conscience might follow the blood riders to avenge the dead Kao, but more often than not, they scattered in all directions, each seeking a new way out or reliance. Moro's khalasar was like this; they did not choose to avenge the Kao but chose another path—to flee in all directions. More than 20,000 people scattered like a pile of sand, some joining other khalasars around them, while most surrendered directly to Daenerys, expressing their willingness to be loyal to her. According to Dothraki tradition, a Khaleesi also has the right to have her own khas (following), and these surrendered people became the initial basic strength of Khalakka (Kao's son).

In this way, Daenerys suddenly had more than ten thousand followers. Her strength was considered to be at a mid-level among the many Kaos, which undoubtedly brought her great advantages and opportunities. Originally, she could have ridden Rhaegal back to Meereen, and Jorah and the others thought so too.

However, Daenerys did not want to easily give up this rare power, because as soon as she left here, the Dothraki who had gathered around her would immediately disappear without a trace. Even her subordinates like Jorah might become tools for the Dothraki to vent their anger. Therefore, Daenerys resolutely decided to take a gamble, resolutely heading to Vaes Dothrak to seek opportunities and subdue more Dothraki to strengthen herself.

Vaes Dothrak is a city without walls. As people pass through the God's Road, they can see two building complexes on either side of the road, divided into the West Market and the East Market. Those caravans from outside can only operate in these two markets and are strictly prohibited from approaching Mother of Mountains or the "womb of the world."

Mother of Mountains is an infinitely sacred place in the hearts of all Dothraki, and only powerful Kaos are qualified to set foot on this sacred mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a vast lake lies quietly. This lake has an extremely high status in the hearts of the Dothraki, and they call it the "womb of the world." The lake water is clear and transparent, like a huge mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the contours of the surrounding mountains. The dense reeds on the lakeside sway in the wind, like the dancing skirt of nature. Legend has it that this lake is unfathomable, and no one can explore the secrets at the bottom.

Whenever the Dothraki come to Vaes Dothrak, they will camp around this mysterious lake. No matter how deep their grudges are outside, once they step into this land, they must unite as brothers and strictly prohibit any form of fighting or conflict. This is a symbol of peace and harmony, and the Dothraki know that only in such an environment can they jointly face future challenges.

However, what truly controls Vaes Dothrak is not men, but an ancient female organization called the "Dosh Khaleen." These women are all former Khaleesis—the wives of those deceased Kaos. They live here, becoming permanent residents of Vaes Dothrak, and are carefully cared for by a group of eunuch slaves.

In Dothraki society, these Dosh Khaleen possess supreme glory and status. They play the roles of wise men, prophets, and priests, not only responsible for predicting the future and interpreting omens for the current Kaos, but also important guardians of Dothraki cultural heritage. Their wisdom and experience make them highly respected, and every word may affect the fate of the entire tribe.

At this time, Grey Worm said, "Lord Galon, we must not sit idly by and watch, we must immediately rescue the Queen! Please allow me to lead an army to bring Her Majesty back safely!" Grey Worm's eyes were firm and determined, full of loyalty and concern for the Queen.

Liu Yuan waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Do you know how far Vaes Dothrak is from us? By the time you bring people there, it will probably be several months later. Therefore, it is more appropriate for me to make this trip myself!"

After saying that, he immediately summoned Tyrion and solemnly instructed the people present, "Tyrion, from now on, all the government affairs of Meereen will be your responsibility. Remember to keep a close eye on the Red God Church and the old nobles of Meereen, especially the former Great Masters. If they dare to take advantage of my absence with Dany to stir up trouble and create chaos, then Grey Worm, you don't need to have any scruples, just execute them all. As for the war in Yunkai, it must not be stopped. It must be carried out in strict accordance with the original plan, quickly sweeping away the small city-states on the periphery, constantly compressing the enemy's living space, and finally forcing them all to Yunkai, so that the problem can be completely solved once and for all."

After listening to Liu Yuan's arrangements, Tyrion couldn't help but ask, "Are you really sure you don't need to take anyone with you? I heard that the Dothraki are exceptionally ferocious."

Liu Yuan smiled slightly and replied confidently, "Haha, how many people can compare to Leviathan? Moreover, you don't understand, my reputation in the Dothraki Sea is actually more ferocious than theirs."

The protagonist they were talking about, Daenerys, was currently in high spirits, striding forward with her head held high while riding Rhaegal. Behind her were the Dothraki who voluntarily followed her along the way, numbering nearly twenty thousand!

Because the Dothraki have a fanatical worship of force, most of these followers are brave warriors riding warhorses, and there are many Screaming Men among them. The Dothraki's organizational structure is not tight, and the coming and going of personnel is relatively free, and the core figure of the khalasar is the Kao. In addition to expanding their power by annexing other tribes, most of the others are attracted by the Kao's unique personal charm that they choose to join.
