Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

"But... judging from the weight, it can only be used to forge one longsword at most."

The heart of this red comet is not very large; perhaps if it were melted down, it could only be used to forge a longsword, or even a greatsword.

And at this moment.

A commotion arose in the distance, and it seemed that an army was approaching from the horizon.

However, they had already spotted the Andalus Legion stationed there, and then cautiously stopped.

Chapter 141 Return

"Another person has arrived?"

"It's really lively here."

Viserys saw the movement in the distance, then put the Heart of the Star back into the wooden box and handed it to the guard beside him.

At this moment, the army stopped here, and the soldiers responsible for scouting and guarding the surrounding area also rode back on fast horses to report the news.

"His Majesty."

"They are the bearded monks of Norfolk."

It turned out that the commotion caused by the falling star last night was so great that not only Andalus's army, but also many other people nearby, noticed it.

Even the defeated Dothraki regrouped.

Jakokor, a former leader of the Khal Drogo, defeated the rest of the Khals and became the new Khal, uniting the remnants of Drogo's army.

He first pledged allegiance to his blood sworn guards, and then he saw a red comet in the sky.

To rally support, Jacochau rolled his eyes slightly and then referred to the red comet streaking across the sky in Dothraki as 'Sirak Queya,' meaning 'the weeping star.'

The great Khal Drogo has arrived in heaven amidst flames, riding a herd of flaming horses across the sky, and they will ultimately avenge him.

Then Jacob pointed to the weeping star in the sky and swore that one day he would kill those cowards in iron, burn down their stone houses, and then...

Then the Weeping Star fell from the sky.

...

Apart from the newly victorious Andalusian army and the defeated Dothraki, there were also other forces.

In faraway Norfolk.

Similarly, a high monk residing on the Stairway of Sinners prophesied that a star was about to fall that night; it was the 'Star of Karma,' and if not stopped, it would bring a terrible disaster to Norfolk.

Then the three ancient bells of Norfolk—Num, Nara, and Nir—were rung, and the high monk's warning, accompanied by the resounding chimes, echoed throughout the city.

Therefore, the Governor's Council of Norfolk did not dare to delay and immediately dispatched a team of two thousand people to search for the location where the prophesied meteorite had fallen.

However, after a day and a night of searching, the monks finally found the true location of the red comet's impact and learned what the disaster foretold by the high monk in the temple was: the wildfire as bright as day was the most terrifying disaster.

However, someone else has already taken it.

"We're late. Who are they?"

Because of the vast difference in numbers, Norfos's army dared not approach and could only observe from a distance for the time being.

They then sent envoys to negotiate.

tata tao...

A bald, long-bearded Norfolk monk, wielding a long axe, rode up to Viserys.

He then dismounted, placed his weapon aside, and respectfully clasped his hands together, bowing slightly in greeting.

"My esteemed master Andalus."

The messengers then explained their purpose, stating that they harbored no hostility. They simply wanted to investigate the location of the comet's impact and extinguish the wildfire, hoping the Andalus Legion could assist them.

They were willing to offer a substantial reward to the master of Andalus.

Norfolk is located in the mountains, and if the wildfires cannot be controlled and there is no rain in the near future, it could very well lead to irreversible consequences.

Viserys did not hesitate for long upon hearing Norfos's request, and then nodded in agreement, ordering his soldiers to help them put out the fire.

After all, this was a natural disaster and a man-made one. If the fire continued to spread, it would not be good for Andalus, which was downwind.

A massive firefighting operation was then launched, and the soldiers who went into the mountains to investigate quickly returned without any casualties. However, all the prisoners they had brought in seemed to have disappeared.

The soldiers reported to Viserys that the Red Comet had crashed into a giant, deep crater, but the crater contained only ruins and charred trees, with nothing else of value inside.

The prisoners, whose shackles had been removed, seized the opportunity to riot, attempting to seize weapons while still bound by ropes. However, they were spotted by the vigilant soldiers, who recognized them as some of the more astute members of the army who had followed them into the mountains.

The prisoners were then hacked to death by the soldiers, while the Brotherhood leader was pierced through the chest with a sword and fell into a still-burning fire at the bottom of a high slope. He must have been dead by now.

The soldiers dared not pursue them. Instead, taking advantage of the favorable wind direction and the relatively light smoke, they retraced their steps back down the mountain.

"Is he dead?"

Viserys nodded slightly upon hearing the soldiers' report, paying it no mind.

To him, the lives of the bandits were insignificant; they deserved to die, and it was no big deal if they escaped.

...

soon.

A night has passed.

After a night of shifts in firefighting efforts, the fire at the site of the red comet's impact has been completely extinguished.

Viserys, wearing a cloak and covering his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, arrived at the crater. Under his feet was soft, scorched earth and the ruins left by the meteorite impact.

It seems that apart from that Star Heart, there is really nothing else of value here.

"Thank you so much for your generous assistance."

The bearded monk followed Viserys, then clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude.

"However... now we can only pray to God for mercy and for a downpour."

This morning, Norfoss sent a force of several thousand men to provide relief, along with a large amount of gold, silver, supplies, and wine to the Andalus Legion in gratitude for their help in controlling the fire last night.

Although the wildfire has not been completely extinguished and has spread to several surrounding mountains, there is nothing that can be done. Without the help of the Andalusian army, the fire would probably have been completely out of control by now.

Viserys accepted the gratitude of the bearded monks without hesitation, and then led Andalus' army to rest for half a day before setting off back to his homeland.

This expedition reached as far as Gödoho, touching the Valyrian Trail of Pentos, before returning home.

Further ahead lies the sphere of influence of Norfos and Pentos, and Viserys doesn't want to turn against these two giant city-states right now.

Although Pentos had no soldiers fighting outside the city, its tall walls were still awe-inspiring, and they were on good terms with many of the horse kings.

Then.

beep--

The melodious sound of bugles rang out.

On their return journey, Andalus's legions executed all the remaining Brotherhood members on the banks of the Upper Loon River, throwing their bodies into the river.

Then they crossed the river and headed straight for their hometown.

...

Chapter 142 Melisandre

After a three-month-long campaign, the Andalusian Legion finally completed its conquest. Numerous territories were brought under Targaryen control, and countless Rhoynar villages and towns submitted to the banner of the three-headed dragon.

On the final battlefield of Götöh, the legion achieved a great victory, but still suffered heavy losses, with nearly three thousand killed or wounded. The morale of the army was on the verge of collapse several times, and countless soldiers were wounded.

However, the gains from this battle were also very substantial.

The Khalasa, where Drogon was defeated, saw a large number of warhorses captured in the battle. In this desperate counterattack, the Andalusian army, relying on the ruins of the city, killed more than five thousand Dothraki, captured fewer than a thousand, and seized an astonishing number of warhorses.

Many of these strong steppe warhorses have not yet been castrated and can even be used as stallions, which is undoubtedly a great boost to Andalus.

The Andas Plain, surrounded by mountains, is fertile, with large areas still uninhabited. These areas can be used to build ranches and raise warhorses in the future.

Although this was a classic example of a smaller force defeating a larger one, with the Dothraki consisting entirely of light cavalry, it was also a victory for civilized people over barbaric people.

Aside from their superior courage, the Andalus Legion had a crushing advantage in both equipment and tactics.

Even so, Viserys still deeply understood that in warfare of cold weapons, swift and agile cavalrymen were still kings, and building his own cavalry force remained of paramount importance.

He was even more excited to have acquired such a large number of warhorses than he was to have snatched the Heart of the Star from the Red Comet from the Brotherhood.

A Valyrian steel weapon can only enhance the power of one person.

A powerful legion will one day conquer even more vast lands with its iron hooves, and may even help him cross the Narrow Sea to reclaim the Iron Throne that belongs to him.

Looking down from the sky.

Rumbling--

Andalus's army was on its way back, its vast numbers covering the earth, with cavalry on both sides driving herds of captured horses.

fluttering—

In the woods not far away, where the army had marched, a flock of crows took flight.

...

Viserys led his army on their return journey.

Meanwhile, in the city of Andalus.

early morning.

Gollum-

The sound of wooden wheels rang out as a simple horse-drawn carriage rolled across the uneven ground of the main road.

"stop!"

The guards at the end of the road routinely inspected the passing carriages.

Then he raised his hand and lifted the curtain, and was slightly stunned to see a beautiful woman in red sitting inside the car.

"this…"

Gollum—
