Chapter 123 Star Warriors
Mongol lived in the Womb Lake of the World for two full days before leading the Bloodriders back to Vaes Dothrak. Maester Bas Porter and Norhat were the last two to return.
They hid something secretly along the reed-surrounded lake, but they refused to reveal the true purpose of the mission to anyone other than the khal.
After a period of time, the people in the Holy City were still talking about the past wars and worrying about the uncertain dangers in front of them. However, with the implementation of the Dothraki Great Code, the fear and tension slowly melted away.
Whether it was a good or bad future, it was not forgotten, but it could not affect people's current mood for the time being.
So they began to feel energetic and full of hope. In addition to listening carefully to the decrees of the great khal and his every motto every day, they were looking forward to the return of their defeated and fled families as soon as possible.
Time passed slowly, and the tribes who fled into the Holy Mother Mountain and wanted to cross the mountains to the Ober Peninsula returned first, because the kings and princes in this area had already offered their loyalty to Mongol, and they united to refuse to provide food to other horse kings.
Other tribes heading south or east encountered greater difficulties. They moved forward without enough supplies to support them out of the vast Dothraki Sea and reach places where they could plunder and survive. In the end, they could only kill their horses to survive until Mongol's scouts found them.
The days passed one by one, every day was a sunny morning, every night was clear and cool.
The cold wind began to blow from the northwest, and the main star of the Horse shone brightly in the sky, covering the other small stars.
But in the north, there was a red comet with a long tail that could illuminate almost half of the sky, and even the moonlight could not cover its edge.
Each interpretation of the omen brought by this red comet will give it a name.
Bachelor Bas Porter called it the sword of the season, representing the end of the long summer. The mercenaries of the Golden Company and the merchants of Pentos called it the torch of Targaryen or the red dragon star, flattering that it illuminated the future of Princess Daenerys. The Dothraki called it Silak Quayar, which means the star of weeping blood. It was the gods praising the horse riding the world, and the wife of his enemy weeping blood in grief.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, with the help of some people, the shining of the main star of the Horse also attracted everyone's attention and heated discussion: According to the ancient legend of the Dothraki, a thousand years ago, the first man rode the first horse out of the depths of the lake, and now, a warrior will also be resurrected from the lake. He is the most loyal and brave warrior of the great khal-Kothro.
The Dothraki believed this part of the rumor, because in their eyes, the stars are a group of horses with blazing bodies, running in the night sky with great momentum.
Whenever a warrior dies, when their bodies are cremated under the sky, the warrior will ride on a flaming fire horse, leap out, turn into a star in the sky, and proudly enter the kingdom of the gods. The more the body burns, the more his star shines in the darkness.
Soon, people began to walk out of Vaes Dothrak and go hunting along the shore of the Holy Lake. Even though they did not find any traces of souls or fire horses, and no one heard any news about the appearance of the warriors, more people still gathered by the lake.
"People always talk about the resurrection of warriors, but so far not a single figure has been found."
"We have heard a lot of things, but if someone tells you that the horse god can bring a person back to life, I don't think anyone will believe it."
"It's nothing strange. After all, the great khal is as strong as the legendary stone giant!"
"I don't object to this, but the people of Jugsnai say that their ancestors killed the last Jegwen giant in the Howling Hills."
"How can you get news from the enemy? No one can compete with the great khal. Those people are now only a skeleton."
Just as these people were still discussing, a boiling cheer came from the reeds not far from them.
Someone found a burning ember by the lake, and on the wet soil below, the searchers found a series of burned and hard horse hoof prints.
Not long after, people found the same traces in many places, as well as some beast bodies that were burned to bones.
Although no trace of the warriors has been seen yet, and people can't sense his existence, it does not prevent most people from making a conclusion about the rumors.
"You are right, the legend is true, our khal will always create miracles, so that we don't have to fear bloodshed and sacrifice in battle."
As the news spread back to the Holy City, more and more people gathered by the lake. They all kept their eyes on the center of the lake, because even in the night, they felt that there was a mysterious atmosphere in that place.
At this moment, a dazzling light flashed, and a raging fire suddenly burned in the center of the lake, and the whole sky reflected the red flames.
"The warrior is resurrected!" The Dothraki shouted: "His glory is as dazzling as the sun, and the lake is burning."
"The warrior is resurrected! Look! Look!"
Everyone was so excited that they kept shouting and squeezed into the lake. Even if the water was deep and piercing, it couldn't make them retreat a little.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and a large group of armored cavalry came to the lake at an astonishing speed.
The people nearby stood there with their eyes wide open for a long time, watching the giant figure in the lead approaching. They could no longer control their emotions, waving their arms and shouting:
"Kao! The great Kao is here! The warrior is about to be resurrected!"
Mungo rode on the horse silently, with an extremely focused expression on his face and his eyes closed, as if a huge force was being born in his will.
[Noble Phantasm: The Womb Lake of the World]
[Setting: ...]
[Effect: Resurrection, Storage: 1/1000. ]
At this time, the north of the lake was surrounded by a sea of fire, causing the entire sky to fall into a red color. A large amount of steam began to emerge from the water, enough to cover the surrounding areas in thick fog for several days.
Everyone stood there like stone statues, looking at Kao motionlessly, all focusing their eyes on him, and the world instantly became silent.
When Mungo opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of white light. His body was as white as snow in the firelight, and his eyes were clear and bright, piercing people's hearts like the sun. He felt that he held an incomparable power in his hands, which filled people's hearts with surprise, joy and awe.
Then, everyone felt a chill all over their bodies, but it was not out of fear or fear. It felt like ice water or cold wind blowing on their faces, making their minds clear instantly.
In this silence, the lake quietly rippled, and a strong figure walked out of the shadows. He was soaked, with black braids hanging down his back, and his eyes were shining with blazing flames.
"Khosoro is resurrected! When the great khal needed him, he returned from the kingdom of the gods. He is a descendant of the horse god. He is Kosoro, and he is a Dothraki warrior!"
"Mungo..." Kosoro repeated in his mouth, as if recalling every time he used this name in his memory:
"We will meet again in the future. I must witness with my own eyes that you become the king of Dothraki."
The flame is not wildfire. The warships of Braavos are equipped with a flamethrower, which is the Greek fire in history. It can burn on the water surface and resurrect 1/1000 of the storage capacity, which means the upper limit is 1000. The number of times available is 1. It will slowly recover with the resurrection of magic. The upper limit will increase with the legend. Other settings will be added slowly later.
