Chapter 108

As soon as Mungo heard the loud yelling, he smiled heartily, and joy filled his face like sunshine.

Elihu Phoenix, formerly an elephant-cart slave of Volantis, now holds the command of the Free Folk Legion.

He had been chosen from thousands of warriors, a real brawny man, almost as big as Belwas who had remained in Qorhor, and as strong as a wild boar.

In the tribal assembly of the Sarn River, a dozen or so hundreds of household leaders fell down in a fight, and he became famous since then. He is also the most brilliant slinger, and people call him "catapult".

The Freedom Legion has 6000 people. In fact, since the Battle of the Silver Sea, when they blocked [-] cavalry with [-] infantry and took the initiative to charge, Mungo no longer likes to call them the "Freedom Legion", but that is a kind of The spiritual symbol and the meaning of battle still retain the external declaration.

He prefers to call them another name - "Batuying", "a brave and invincible warrior with bows and arrows, who can be called Batu and Batu." blood to protect Kaa from any war.

The armor Quhor paid tribute to was not suitable for Elihu Phoenix's body. He was wearing a set of patchwork armor, and the soldiers under his command also followed suit, wrapping in homemade leather armor to fight the enemy.

Just when Mungo was about to assign a mission to Elihu, the enemy's left wing suddenly broke the formation and caused a commotion.

But they didn't look like they were going to attack, they stopped soon, and after a while, they started moving again, and this went on and on, going one step further west each time.

Even if the two sides are far apart, under the light of the fire, every horse and flag is very clear in Mungo's sharp eagle-like eyes.

This kind of behavior made his eyes shine. The west side of Notre Dame Mountain is not too far away from the Silver Sea. He had personally investigated the terrain here: the river turned a big bend at the foot of the mountain.

The enemy's left wing obviously wanted to move to the back of the river bend, with the idea of ​​occupying a dangerous position and taking strict precautions against defending.

Then, a troop of cavalry ran out from the black background and gray horse banner of the Ogo tribe, and ran towards the river bend, trying to block the movement of the left-wing army. There is no doubt that this transfer was not approved by the commander.
-
The fact is indeed the case. On the hill, Fogo, the son of Ogo Khal, is looking down at the army below from the high ground. He can only vaguely see about twenty galloping horse flags of the Mungo tribe.

The reason why he didn't dare to attack, besides not wanting to give up the favorable terrain, was hesitating whether this was Mungo's entire army.

That's right, he didn't believe in Sotekao's wisdom at all. He only believed in his own strength from the beginning of the war, and he was confident that he would win.

Meng Ge sent group after group of scouts to climb halfway up the hillside to investigate, but Fogo did not send scouting cavalry, nor did he send troops to test.

He decided that there was going to be a big battle no matter what, and that everything else was superfluous, and the enemy would have to flee in embarrassment anyway. He was confident that no Dothraki commander before had assembled such a powerful force on the battlefield.

In short, he is overconfident and underestimates the enemy. Without his father and Khal Sotek restricting this power, he no longer listens to the opinions of Khal Ogo's bloodriders, and even sends all those who dare to speak out to lead the army .

He turned a blind eye to his premature exposure of the army's mistakes, but was furious at the unauthorized movement of the left wing. He shouted at the cavalry beside him, saying:

"These people are also worthy of being called my allies. Their courage is not as big as a rabbit. Send someone to warn them. I only need them to spend a little effort to deal with Mongol. They are all a bunch of waste. Dung spoons are better than spears."

At this time, the envoy sent by Sotkao to be in charge of the communication, with a smile on his face, explained:

"The great Commander Fogo, those small tribes on the left wing have never seen such a scene, they will only bully the weak and fear the strong to plunder some caravans."

"But if you stay here and don't attack, it will only make everyone think that you are afraid of the horses riding the world, so they will retreat to protect themselves."

The first half of the messenger's words made Fogo very comfortable, even full of joy, but the second half of the words made him a little angry, feeling that the other party was laughing at him.

So, with a wave of his right hand, the "Great Commander" ordered the army to move forward.

He glanced at the messenger triumphantly, but he couldn't see that the cavalry behind him were taking a deep breath and sitting firmly on the saddle, and he didn't notice that when he turned his head, the messenger just snorted contemptuously and snorted coldly for a moment.

It was okay at the beginning, and the Holy City army completely marched down the hillside in a strict battle formation. Slowly, the entire formation became sagittal, and it was the Aoge tribe who walked in front.

While giving orders and urging, Fogo rode back and forth with his guards on horseback, like a catastrophe being swept forward by the storm.
-
At this time, the warriors of the Mungo tribe were observing the Holy City army coming from the hillside. They gritted their teeth silently and looked at the endless ranks. The left and right wings fluttered in the wind like the wings of a giant dragon. There are countless military flags in the middle.

My heart was suddenly overwhelmed by a terrible gravity, and everyone's eyes seemed to see the scene of corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowing into rivers, whether the gods were ready to make a victory in the sky.

Meng Ge was different. After seeing this scene, the last gloom in his heart disappeared. He thought he was facing a brave and wise opponent, but now he was facing an arrogant and stupid opponent.

Therefore, he raised his flushed eyes, put his hand on Elihu Phoenix's shoulder, and said:

"I want to transfer you and your soldiers to the right flank to attack the enemy's left flank. The enemy is outnumbered, and the Batu Battalion must fight to the death in order to win."

Batu, Batu, are men who dare to die. Only merit and honor can allow them to survive in the Dothraki tribe.

Everyone used to call them the "Ragged Army", but now not many people dare to call them that in person, especially the Dothraki who fought against them.

Elihu didn't hesitate. He put his right hand on his chest and showed a big smile to Khal Mongo, then turned his stern eyes to the hundreds of households behind him, and shouted:
"Go back to the legion!"

With this majestic order, everyone came like a whirlwind, and then left like a gust of wind. Then, he stretched out his hand and ordered his followers:

"Bring me the helmet!"
