"The pure Dothraki blessed by the Crones under the Mother of Mountains, the blue-eyed Haggo had the power as any great Khal, but didn't have their courage.
With those who live in house of stone the man is good at using poison and tricks, he was tainted by Wason's blood, and he is used to using trickery to attack the enemy."
Old Effendi shook his head and said, "It is known that in the Great Grass Sea in the last ages that no people would sneak into the other sides Khalasar and kidnap Khal's son.
it is known, we Dothraki are all riders with arakhs in our hold to solve our problems."
Dany couldn't help but sigh after hearing that, that blue-eyed Haggo is unlucky, if his father was not proficient in the Way of Twelve Sighs, but instead in hold of military tactics and other such stratagems of battle…with his nimble head and awareness of the shameless, it is very possible to create a large Khalasar similar to Drogo.
The entire group chatted and slowly caught up with the larger group.
Even if the scorching winds will carry red gravel and obliterate any trace of the team walking on the purgatory plains, that process will take a day or two.
For Dany they are only an hour's ride behind Khalasar. On the graveled and red sand ground, there are still marks that horses have stepped on. Under the blood-red rays of light of the Bleeding Star, the fine traces are like a line Shallow rivers laid in the red desert.
A Conspicuous track.
Effendi is old and mature. After several conversations with Dany, He found that she is a very peaceful and kind Khaleesi. Gradually, he became daring and bold, and he said to her rebelliously: "The comet in the sky is for us. The night walk brings convenience, but the red light like the blood of Gods is also full of ominous premonitions.
Especially in this purgatory wasteland, the red sand, the dark sky that is blood-red by the Bleeding Star, a red Hell so shows that bad has happened without us knowing."
"Yes, yes, I think so too." The company of old men followed, and gradually, even Dany's Bloodrider became uncomfortable.
This old codger dares to confuse the public in front of me?!
Dany was very angry and scolded him: "I ask you, did the comet appear before Khal Drogo was buried?"
The old man who was taken aback by her stern tone, said: "No…"
"I'll ask you again, is the Bleeding Star a symbol of Khal Drogo?"
"Yes…."
"Is Khal's steed as red as blood?" she asked again in a forceful tone.
"Yes..."
"Is Khal accompanied by five hundred warriors who died in battle?"
"Yes..."
With Dany's loud shouting, the surrounding Dothraki turned from panic to dazed, and then gradually focused faces showed some understanding.
At this point, Dany concluded: "Our Khal rode into Night Land on a steed in flames, and that comet was Drogo on his red horse, and behind the comet is the blood-colored trail across the sky, it was him. The Bloodrider led five hundred bloody screamers on the battlefield, and followed Khal as before."
"Their heads were cut off, can they not dye the sky red?" She said to asked Effendi.
"Because Drogo knew that we were nocturnal and that we were going through the Red Waste with difficulty, so he refused to leave and led one more to guard us one last time. When we are completely safe, Drogo will really finally enter the Night Land. "
Dany's words are absolutely impeccable, the comet will leave sooner or later, and when it will be completely safe, isn't she the boss who has the final say?
As expected, the Dothraki were persuaded by her words, and they all showed a sudden realization, looking towards her, eyes full of admiration.
The old Dothraki Effendi was also sincerely convinced. After all, Khal rides a horse into the Night Land in the fire, it is a matter of "it is known", Dany's words have no weak spot, everything is all too coincidental, just like fate.
"Khaleesi, you are as wise as a Crone of Vaes Dothrak," he exclaimed.
A Crone of Vaes Dothrak is a presider of rituals of the Dosh Khaleen.
Dany doesn't like to hear that, she doesn't want to be of Dosh Khaleen, even though she is already of Dosh Khaleen in theory.
"Effendi, Wason is ill and can't drink water. Give him your share of mare's milk." Dany said something, and left without listening to him.
"I…" Effendi opened his mouth with an aggrieved and dazed expression, "I am also an old man and need mare milk!"
Back to Khalasar's army, Dany's explanation of the Bleeding Star quickly spread, and Dothraki whispered while secretly looking at Khaleesi at the front of the team.
"Ai, even the death of his son, can Khal not 'cry blood'? Khaleesi must have also secretly wept blood?"
"Yes, hundreds of Warriors followed. Fighting to death with the Khalakka, how tragic, the blood stained the sky red."
"Now we can rest assured, I was frightened before, that the day was left with a clear blood stain in the blue sky, I thought it was a bad omen."
To a large extent, the superstitious Dothraki reduced their worries and increased their confidence.
In fact, not only Dany and her Khalasar are influenced by the Bleeding Star, because it is becoming more and more vivid, at night, it dyes the sky red, the brightness akin to dusk; during the day, it shines with the sun, like the face of a reaper.
The whole world of Ice and Fire panicked, and they, like Dany, tried their best to describe it as an omen for themself.
For example, the King's Landing court called it the "Red Messenger", announcing to the world that a new king had been born.
Well, Robert Baratheon, who stole the Targaryen family throne, was killed by his own wife, and his "true family" son, Joffrey, took over the throne.
However, because of the rebellion of the four lords of Stark, Tully, Tyrell and Baratheon, the price of King's Landing skyrocketed. The people were hungry, and the news of the incest between Queen Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister was made public by Stannis Baratheon.
Several reasons add up to the popular resentment of King's Landing at the moment, with the common people calling the comet "Red Sword".
The Red Sword of blood and fire is an omen that God will punish the Mother and Son Cersei's.
After Whispering Wood's big win, Greatjon pointed to the red track across the blue sky, laughed and said to the Lord – Robb Stark – "That's what Old Gods did for Ned. The Fire Banner of Vengeance."
The Young Lord of the Tully family, Edmure Tully rejoiced that it was the family crest of the Tully family – white fish on a blue background, a trout jumping out of the river.
Well, what Edmure saw was a fiery red fish with a long tail, with a blue sky as the bottom, .
In the Iron Islands, Balon Greyjoy, high-spirited and vigorous, said to his bannermen: "That's a good omen for our Ironmen, a burning torch like the one my people held in ancient times."
The torch brought from the sea by the Drowned God heralds the rising tide. It is time for us to assemble the fleet, and let the sword and fire come to the earth, just as he had done in the past."
In the ancestral land of House Targaryen, the birthplace of Daenerys, the westernmost outpost of Valyria Freehold – Dragonstone.
The Red Woman Melisandre told the current Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon, "It's the breath of the dragon, it's the Bleeding Star, and the ancient prophecies will be fulfilled in you."
And she said the… uh, prophecy that represents the core and final prophecy of The Song of Ice and Fire.
"There will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. In this dreaded hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, he who clasps it shall be the Azor Ahai who has come again, and the darkness shall flee before him."
"Now, Long Summer is near, the Bleeding Star has appeared, Azor Ahai will be reborn in the land of smoke and salt, and will awaken the Dragon in stone.
Your Majesty, you are the one prophesied, Azor Ahai's reincarnation, you are destined to come Save the world."
"Why me!" Stannis gritted his teeth, "Why must it be me! I just want to be a good brother, a good minister, why do I have to be a king, such a responsibility. ….."
Renly Baratheon in Storm's End, Martell in Dorne, Night's Watch in the Wall…all see the red comet in the sky, and have never seen this comet since time immemorial the natural phenomenon, they all have their own understanding.
At this moment, in distant Westeros, no one knows that someone has been reborn while the stars are crying blood, and awakened the Dragon in the stone.
It seems…
Well, Dany is by no means Azor Ahai reincarnated, she is just the last layer of a matryoshka.
On the third day of Red Waste's southbound journey, Dany's Khalasar walked about 130 kilometers, and the three days added up to about 300 kilometers.
The food consumption is actually not large. They have at least one horse per capita, and they are not short of horse meat. The key is drinking water and the extreme living environment.
"Khaleesi, the number of puddles we encountered today is less than half that of yesterday, and many of our water bags are empty." Quaro said with a bitter face.
Dany wiped her face and cheered herself up. At this point, she had already stationed the team for the third time. Like yesterday, she built a low, curved stone wall.
As the camp's affairs are properly arranged, a grey dawn has appeared in the eastern sky.
Thinking about it for a while, Dany said solemnly: "The water for the horses must not be less, Quaro, I will teach you a new way of fetching water."
She waited for Quaro and more than a dozen Dothraki Warrior took her to a high place and pointed to the plain below, "Do you see that? Some places are overgrown with weeds, and many more have no plants at all. If you look far away, you can see that Devilgrass is most prosperous. It can almost be connected into a line."
"Maybe there is an underground river there, or, it used to be a river."
Going to now, the first time I met a small river There is no trace of the creek bed, only a handful of reddish-brown Devilgrass of regular branches, constantly giving people some hints and conjectures.
Dany's method is very simple. Divide the team into two points. The strongest Warrior walks dozens or even hundreds of kilometers before riding a horse.
A pit dug deep enough to seep groundwater.
Even if there is no water, it will wet the sand – the sand that can squeeze out the water, can be used by a second batch of warriors who get the wet soil to filter the poisonous water.
Compared with puddle filtration, this method is slower and less efficient, and the soil hole should not be dug too large, otherwise it will be able to find stones or tree trunks that block the opening.
You can only dig more holes rather than dig deep holes.
Dany also demonstrated it in public. After she scooped up a bitter puddle to dry, she put the mud from the digging in the cloth pocket supported by the tent cloth.
A drop of sewage dripped from the bottom of the cloth pocket, and the hole where the mud was dug out also began to seep water visibly.
Dothraki saw this, cheering excitedly, and seemed to have defeated this terrifying Red Waste.
Jorah pulled Dany aside and said worriedly: "Her Highness, you are sacrificing the energy and life of strong Warriors to feed the useless, old, and weak."
