Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest.

Chapter 134 The Black Garden
Mungo and his party returned to Wes Dothrak in the first half of the night. During this time, apart from a few pauses, they had been walking non-stop for several hours.

After entering the holy city, everyone immediately dispersed to rest, but before dawn, they were summoned again.

It was Kahal's bloodriders who woke everyone up. Under their guidance, everyone walked along the narrow slope after section.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, and I didn't hear any abnormal noises. There was only the light of the torch in the hands of the armored soldiers in front of me, leading the way like a will-o'-the-wisp.

The further you go, the wider and gentler the slope becomes. There are no forks or buildings on both sides of the road, and the ground under your feet is extremely flat, without weeds or potholes.

Obviously, the place they stepped on was a very important avenue, which had been carefully cleaned up.

They walked like this for about four to ten minutes, heading straight towards the west of the city. If you look at the straight-line distance, it is probably about two miles.

As the group of people walked faster and faster, their spirits became tense in the silence, and they felt oppressed by being watched.

Sometimes you could hear, or thought you heard, the scattered, non-echoing footsteps on either side of the road.

Before long they came to a brightly lit, open place, where a wide arch stood before all eyes.

The warriors guarding the door are also Kayo's bloodriders, but they are dressed very differently. From head to toe, they are covered with black scale-like braided tower armor, which makes them look extremely tall.

They lined up, holding a huge two-handed sword in their hands, standing there silently, the only eyes exposed outside, as black as an abyss, seeming to say that no one is allowed to enter.

Everyone stopped in unison and looked around.

Clerk Ofer looked suspiciously at the bloodrider guards who were leading the way, seeing that they were all silent and didn't know what to do, then turned around and said to everyone:

"I didn't know there was this place at all. You should all be the same as me. We'd better stay here and wait. You know what I mean!"

Hearing this, Noahart nodded seriously, and looked at the armor on the gatekeeper with interest.

Bachelor Bas Potter's curiosity made him want to look inside. Behind the arch, he found a stone mansion with light shining through it.

After a while, there was still silence all around, but there was a faint knocking sound from the house not far away: dong dong, dong dong.

Although the sound was short and slight, it became very obvious in an open place, and everyone listened attentively. After the echo disappeared, they continued to hear the continuous beating sound of dongdang, dongdang, dongdang.

The bachelor seemed to be very familiar with this voice, nodded frequently following the beat, and said with an excited smile:
"Unless my ears are broken, it must be the sound of a hammer."

"That's right." Ofer rubbed his tired brows, tilted his head and glanced at Bas Potter, and said in a muffled voice, "The thesis on Kohall's forging technology is your proud work."

"I know what's going on!"

The bachelor stretched his waist indifferently, and showed Noahart his right hand prosthesis, which was almost the same color as his skin, and then glanced at the guard's armor, muttering:

"I haven't seen this kind of forging since the day I left Kehor."

"Only the best blacksmiths in Kohor can infuse color into metal instead of painting it."

At this moment, a faint light came from the east, and a troop of cavalry came galloping from a distance, and their footsteps disturbed a large amount of dust on the ground.

Meng Ge reined in his horse in front of everyone. He stretched out his hand and waved away the tall guards in front of the door. He greeted the three bachelors first, and then said:

"Don't waste time at the door, go in quickly! There are some real things in here, which are our only hope to solve the blockage of the Panshi River."

Then they passed through the arches into the fire-lit mansion, and as they entered the courtyard the banging increased in intensity, and a gust of hot, warm air came blowing upon them.

What caught everyone's eyes was the lingering gray smoke. They floated in mid-air, or fell to the ground and ran around, not knowing where to hide. It was a bit of a strange atmosphere.

A gust of breeze wafted faintly in the distance, and a corner of the fog veil was rolled up, revealing dark brown sand pits.

Mongo noticed the puzzled expressions on Ofer and Noahart's faces, and explained:

"Here is the General Work Institute I created. There are ten places in the entire Wis Dothraki. They are mainly responsible for mining and smelting, forging weapons, and developing and manufacturing new military equipment. I will build similar workshops in the future. Produce all kinds of utensils and handicrafts."

"What you can see now is part of the smelting process. The temperature required for iron smelting is very high, so it is necessary to use wood with high combustion heat to make carbon, and the smoke is emitted by the smoldering carbon in the covering soil. "

As the voice fell, the smoke was slowly blown away by the wind, and it was the first time that everyone saw the entire courtyard clearly. It was surrounded by painted black walls, and there were many earth-covered sand pits on the ground, just like neatly arranged tombs.

They also saw three inconspicuous black stone doors on the wall, one directly opposite them, and one on each side.

All this made Ofer and the others a little dizzy. Their thoughts could not help but drift back to the black-armored warrior outside the door, to the mines on Iban Island, and to the era of the Dothraki.

Everyone kept blinking their eyes and fell into silence, feeling that even the smoke here had become priceless.

Meng Ge led them carefully around the pit in the courtyard, walked to the stone door directly opposite, and pointed to the left and right at the same time:
"Smelting and forging are going on behind the door on the left. The sound you hear now is coming from there. It is very dangerous inside. You should not go in and visit."

"On the right is the military equipment workshop. The craftsmen here can manufacture a wide variety of siege equipment such as siege towers, wheeled battering rams, trebuchets, and giant crossbows. A crossbow with three crossbow arrows, and I want to make further improvements to the crossbow machine to shorten the time for the shooter to wind up."

Soon, everyone stood silently in front of the stone gate directly opposite. Ofer remembered the scene when Kao and him met on the Sarn River. Everything seemed to happen thousands of years ago.

As Meng Ge slowly pushed open the stone door, they gradually came to their senses. Then they raised their heads and looked behind the door, eager to find out the secrets here, but they saw that the whole place seemed to have been ransacked and burned.

On the ground covered with large and small potholes, there are scattered gravel and many animal carcasses, as well as broken gun handles, round shields and armor. Black blood and scorched soil are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish each other.
