Chapter 126 Ore War
After the leaders of thousands of households in the pyramid left, Mungo took Kosoro out alone, and they didn't stop until they entered a training ground where many straw men stood.

The bonfire here is shining like daytime. There have been blood alliance guards waiting here with horses and knives. One of the soldiers greeted him with a wooden box. Mungo smiled sideways and said:
"This is your weapon, but it was damaged in the battle. I put it away for you. However, I haven't had time to ask the blacksmith if it can be recast. It seems that there is no time now."

"So, I thought, maybe you can accept this new machete."

He took a weapon in an unadorned leather sheath from another bloodrider. When he drew out the scimitar, the sharp blade, which had been carefully cared for, shone like a crescent moon.

"This is the Shescher machete." While talking, he took the reins, jumped on the horse, and galloped forward.

He controls the horse with one hand, and the scimitar with the other hand stretches out like the wings of a goshawk. His graceful posture makes the soldiers applaud in unison. With the high speed brought, the straw man's head fell in response.

The scene in front of him made Kosoro's eyes brighten. If he met the enemy on the battlefield, he would leave a long wound on the enemy's side and cause a huge amount of bleeding, which is almost incurable. .

Very effective against unarmored or lightly armored enemies, and Essos is hot, and that's what the Dothraki will face next.

Moreover, during the impact, a large enough gap can be opened between the cavalry and the enemy. No matter whether the attack is successful or not, the chance of the cavalry being injured is minimized. This attack method is very safe.

Meng Ge rode his horse back and saw the surprised expression on Kosoro's face clearly. He laughed loudly and said loudly:
"Fast horses and light swords are always the winning strategy for Dothraki cavalry."

Kosoro came back to his senses and stepped forward to accept the gift happily. He looked at the scimitar carefully, and saw that the arc of the knife was curved like a bow. The blade was narrow and about two or three fingers wide. The tail is not in the usual spherical shape, but bent down at a right angle, and the guard is in the shape of a cross.

"It's very beautiful." He raised his scimitar flat and waved it at the fire, and couldn't help sighing:

"The Bialak scimitar has a longer action distance. The blade is quenched, taking into account both hardness and elasticity. It is unstoppable, the blade is smooth, and it is perfect for chopping and cutting. The tip of the blade is sharp and it is also good for stabbing. He is like a lion. As beautiful as the tail!"

"It would be great if we could equip our fighters on a large scale!"

Meng Ge's face suddenly sank, revealing an expression like a hungry wolf salivating. He ignored the emotion, turned around and shouted loudly:

"Where are my cavalry?"

As the voice fell, I heard a thunderous sound of horseshoes. As the sound became more and more intense, Kosoro looked through the firelight and saw a team of well-equipped cavalry lined up in a wedge shape, running from the end of the training ground. Come.

Norhart, the tip of the wedge, raised his lance flat, kicked the horse's belly, and charged forward, shouting:

"Come on!"

The others galloped along with him, and, like a great storm sweeping across a field, they charged straight into the grass crowd, piercing their withered bodies with flashing spear points.

But these people's superb riding and stabbing skills did not attract Kosoro's attention, and his eyes stayed on the horses under the cavalry's crotch.

There is an iron plate on the forehead of the horses to protect their heads, a piece of leather armor with iron plates on the chest for protection, and a piece of iron mesh leather armor connected on the horse’s back on the left and right sides of the horse’s body for the whole body defense. This part of the armor extends to the horse's neck and tail.

At this moment, another team of cavalry with different costumes entered the arena, which caught his attention. It was a few rows of scattered cavalry holding bows and arrows. They kept running nimbly, looking for the best shooting position, Precisely shoot the arrow at the straw man.

The armor they wore was also different from the bloodriders led by Noahart. It looked simpler, with smaller restraints, and was very light and flexible.

But all the armor features are relatively simple and obvious. It can be seen at a glance that they are mainly made of leather. Even those relatively thick iron ring armor and waistcoats only use a small amount of iron material on the outer layer to improve the protective performance.

Mungo stood beside Kosoro, watching all this quietly. Under the reflection of the flames, his solemn eyes were filled with a kind of lust called ambition.

As long as he is given enough time, every Dothraki cavalry will be equipped with this kind of leather armor, because their people live on animal husbandry and hunting, and there are a large number of animal furs to choose from and good performance.

However, only these are not enough, he pointed to the cavalry who was practicing, raised his voice, and said to Kosoro:

"You have seen the armor on the Lancers many times. It is both flexible and protective, and it is the standard equipment for bloodriders and leaders."

"And those mounted archers wear the thong armor, an armor made of strips of leather, and most importantly, it's made by our own craftsmen."

"This kind of armor is flexible and light, but its biggest advantage is that it is easy to maintain. It can be widely used in long expeditions and long-distance combat. It is very suitable for roundabout tactics. It can also be fixed with bone pieces and iron pieces. To strengthen the defense, fighters can use local materials according to their own physical strength and needs, or use the trophies harvested after the battle to transform a new composite armor by themselves."

After a moment of silence, he turned around and patted Kosoro on the shoulder, and continued:

"But it's not good enough, not enough to complete the great cause of conquering the world. We need iron armor. The noble knights in Westeros and the free trade city states all wear chain armor, plate armor, and even mercenaries like hyenas and vultures wear it. better than us.”

"Kohor's forging technology is world-renowned. We took away their best blacksmiths. The Dothraki's craftsmanship and metal smelting technology have reached their peak."

"But there is no iron ore in the Dothraki Sea, even if there is, we can't find it, mobilize mining, not only that, I have searched all over the market in the Holy City, but I have not seen a piece of metal ore for trading, the merchants told me, There is no market for this kind of goods in the grasslands, and the transportation costs are very high.”

"That's why I sent you to the right-wing Wanhu, and I also assigned Elihu Phoenix and the Freedom Legion he was in charge of to your command. It doesn't matter what the Sarn River Delta, the Ober Peninsula, and the Kingdom of Evervillon , It’s only a matter of time to crusade against them, what I want is their ship, of course, rather than a ship, I want Iban Island.”

"Iban is the second largest island in the world. Its mountains are rich in gold, iron ore and tin ore, as well as whale blubber and whale oil. These are the main foreign trade products of the Iban people. They rely on these to become the largest and most powerful island in the trembling sea. A rich city, the most important thing is that it is not far from the Holy City."

"I need those damn ores, you go conquer them and get them back for me!"
