Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

She hasn't remained unchanged, she just hasn't changed into the way a pampered young lady used to be.

Instead, they became more mature, shedding their immaturity at the age when they should have been playing and becoming stronger.

And not far away.

Wearing a metal mask and completely shrouded in armor, Besil watched this scene while holding the reins and nodded slightly.

He then turned his attention away and continued directing the soldiers to clean up the mess.

The few Dothraki still resisting are being killed one by one by the surrounding Targaryen soldiers.

Most of the Dothraki, knowing they had no hope of escape, did not fight to the death. After Khal's death, they seemed to have lost the courage to fight to the death and knelt on the ground waiting to be taken in as prisoners.

“These Dothraki appear to be expressing submission.”

"His Majesty."

At that moment, an officer standing next to Viserys spoke up.

They couldn't understand Dothraki, and there were no Dothraki translators here, but they could roughly understand some of it by watching the gestures.

Viserys had already released his embrace, and Renis followed beside him.

He looked at the Dothraki kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the dragon, himself, and Renis, and frowned slightly as he listened to their incomprehensible gibberish.

Is there a translation for Dothraki?

"Or perhaps none of them understand Higher Valyrian or Common?"

Viserys himself speaks two languages: High Valyrian, the Targaryen's native language, and the common language of Westeros.

"I'll go find it for you, Your Majesty."

The officer standing next to Viserys immediately nodded in agreement, then ran off to find a translator for Viserys.

Not long afterward, a soldier who understood Dothraki was brought before Viserys.

"His Majesty."

The soldier spoke Dothraki because he had traveled with caravans to and from Vis Dothraki.

“These Dothraki are expressing their submission to you, calling you ‘Khau the Dragon Rider’ and ‘Khau the True Dragon’.”

Then the soldier who knew Dothraki glanced at Renis again.

The girl in front of me wasn't very old; she was a young woman in the prime of her life.

Moreover, Rhaenys was exceptionally beautiful, inheriting the best features of her parents. She possessed both the handsomeness of a Targaryen and the exotic charm of Dorne, making the lads in the camp unable to resist stealing glances at her.

However, they all knew Reines's identity.

Although she didn't have the Targaryen's signature silver hair, the fact that the girl rode a dragon and wore a dragon head badge on her chest was enough to show that she was a 'Dragon's'.

“They…they also call Her Highness the Princess ‘Khalish of the True Dragon Khal’.”

Chapter 273 Surrender

"True Dragon Kao?"

"Khage, the true dragon Khalil?"

Viserys paused slightly when he heard the translator use the term "Dothraki."

He hadn't expected the Dothraki to call him that, and what he didn't expect even more was...

Viserys glanced at Renis, who stood beside him, clad in slender armor and exuding a heroic air.

The brown-haired girl, however, didn't understand what 'Khalish' meant in Dothraki. She looked somewhat confused, having heard that title since she landed.

"This... True Dragon Kao refers to Viserys, right?"

“I heard that ‘Khao’ is their title for ‘King’.”

Renish asked with a slight hint of confusion on her pretty face.

"They call me 'Khalish the True Dragon'?"

What does 'Kalish' mean?

Renis had heard that the title Khal meant the king of the Dothraki, but she really didn't understand what Khaleesi meant.

The soldier who knew Dothraki didn't hesitate when he heard the princess's question. He was a bit outspoken and didn't wait for Viserys to stop him before speaking directly.

“Your Highness, in Dothraki, Khaleesi means Khal’s woman, which is what we call the Queen.”

The translator spoke directly, and Viserys was about to raise his hand to stop him, but it was too late; he could only scratch his head.

"what?"

Upon hearing the translator's explanation, Renis's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

The brown-haired girl clearly hadn't expected this meaning, and her face flushed slightly.

"Don't they know me...?"

Viserys shook his head slightly upon seeing this.

He paused for a moment, then looked up at the translator.

Why would the Dothraki do this, suddenly expressing submission?

Viserys had some trouble understanding the Dothraki's thought process.

They are mortal enemies. Renis just burned two of their Khals to death with a single burst of dragonfire. Shouldn't they be fighting desperately to avenge their Khals?

Moreover, when Viserys defeated Drogo, he also captured many Dothraki.

Based on his understanding of the plot from his previous life, Viserys was extremely envious of these skilled, naturally born cavalrymen.

Unfortunately, the Dothraki preferred to be sold into slavery rather than submit to Viserys, a foreigner.

That left Viserys a little frustrated at the time.

Unexpectedly, Viserys had not intended to subdue the Dothraki, yet they immediately knelt down and surrendered.

What are these people thinking?

Viserys was somewhat puzzled, and then asked.

Although the soldier who knew Dothraki could understand their language, he was not a Dothraki; he only knew a little about them from his time traveling with caravans.

He thought for a moment, then began to explain.

"The Dothraki have little loyalty to their Khals; often, if a Khal dies in battle, they will immediately join the tribe that defeated them."

Apart from the Blood Oath Guard, the other Dothraki had little loyalty to Khal Drogo, and then paused slightly.

"Perhaps it was because His Majesty defeated them while riding a dragon that he gained their submission."

"The Dothraki have always believed that Khal must ride the most magnificent warhorse."

Khao is the strongest warrior in the tribe, and naturally has the right to ride the tribe's strongest warhorse.

Khal Drogo's warhorse was an extremely noble breed, much taller than any other warhorse, and extremely fierce.

They might even tear apart each other's horses during battle, often leaving the enemy's warhorses covered in blood after a fight.

Unfortunately, Khal Drogo's warhorse, along with himself, was burned to ashes.

The soldier who understood Dothraki continued to explain.

"The Dothraki believe that the strong ride steeds, but Your Majesty defeated them riding a dragon."

“A dragon is far more powerful than the most magnificent warhorse... which naturally makes it the most powerful khao in their eyes.”

"That's why they call you 'Khao the Dragon Rider' and 'Khao the True Dragon'."

The translator's interpretation of the Dothraki's intentions was fairly reasonable. In fact, the Dothraki's thoughts did differ slightly from what he said, but overall they were not far off.

Viserys, riding a dragon, won the submission of the Dothraki, who, whether for survival or other reasons, willingly knelt in surrender and even became members of the 'Dragon-riding Khals' khalasar.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Viserys raised an eyebrow slightly as he listened to the translator's explanation. Wasn't this the very four words that best expressed the Dothraki's attitude?

This reminded Viserys of a certain country from his past life, which, after being conquered by unstoppable weapons, willingly became the enemy's dog.

However, Viserys was in no hurry to accept the surrender of these Dothraki.

After all, they had just defeated these Dothraki, and the number of Dothraki who participated in the battle, including the captured vassal troops, reached as many as 30,000 to 40,000.

Excluding the refugees whose homes were destroyed and who were sent home, there are still 20,000 Dothraki alone, many of whom died in the recent siege and the recent battle.

The Targaryen army now numbers only 20,000, and the number of Dothraki who surrendered after the war is roughly the same.

Viserys didn't have the guts to subdue these Dothraki at this time.

Otherwise, if the enemy seizes the opportunity to suddenly launch a mutiny, the Targaryen army will be caught off guard and unable to suppress them, and the result of this battle will be a complete failure.

"Let's discuss this matter again later."

"First, confiscate the weapons of these Dothraki and detain them."

Viserys pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and gave the order.

"clear."

Upon hearing His Majesty's order, the officers standing nearby hurriedly reported to their legion commander.

The Dothraki translator was kept by Viserys.

"You stay here."

Viserys pointed, and the soldier quickly nodded and followed beside His Majesty the King.

Viserys still had some matters to question these surrendered Dothraki, especially their leaders.

"Both Khao are dead. Check if any of his Blood Oath Guards are still alive?"

He knew the nature of the relationship between the Horse King and his blood oath guards; they ate and slept together, and even shared wives.

Once Khal D'Arc dies, his blood oath guards will do everything in their power to avenge him, and after the revenge is completed, they will commit suicide to follow their Khal D'Arc.

Such unstable factors must be identified in advance, otherwise Viserys would not dare to accept these Dothraki.
