Game of Thrones: I am Dothraki, not a barbarian

Chapter 96 Jump into the sea quickly
Baqu looked incredulous. "Retreat? Retreat now, waiting to go back and hang the flagpole?"

"grown ups!"

The scout held his head, watching the stone bullets flying through the air, and shouted, "The commander of the guard has ordered the Shield of Pentos to return to the gates of Braavos!"

Baqu sighed silently and glanced at his comrades around him.

Corpses were scattered all over the ground. The survivors had been fighting for a whole day, their faces covered in blood, and their snow-white robes were full of burn marks. They had run out of arrows, and their catapults and crossbows were broken. If they continued to defend here, they would all die.

He yelled, "Everyone! Retreat!"

The soldiers were obviously relieved and immediately began to evacuate. Some of them wrapped their wounds in cloaks and limped, while others carried their unconscious companions on their backs. They supported each other as they got down from the tower and quickly ran towards the city wall.

Not long after, when they looked back, they saw that the Tide-Breaking Tower was hit by the last stone bullet. The tower, more than ten meters high, collapsed with a loud bang, raising a large cloud of dust!
When Baqu returned to the west wall with the remaining 700 or so Shields of Pentos, Laharo was standing in the corridor waiting for them.

Baqu took a deep breath and looked at the defeated soldiers around him, ready to accept punishment.

The loss of the tower was equivalent to the loss of the entire defensive depth, allowing the enemy to approach the city. The crime was indeed enormous.

However, Laharo did not mean to blame them.

"You did a great job," he consoled her.

Baqu was stunned and lowered his head tremblingly: "Sir, but we failed to defend the Tide-Breaking Tower..."

Laharo patted his shoulder. "The fate of Tidebreak Tower was already determined. It couldn't be defended. It was only the first line of defense, not the last. You held out longer than I expected. That's very good!"
You have exceeded your mission, destroyed three battleships, and held out for two days under the attack of a 40,000-man army. You have achieved the greatest merit!"

Baqu always thought that Laharo let the surrendered soldiers of the Golden Group guard the front line and used them as cannon fodder.

On the way back to the city, he kept thinking about how to withstand the wrath of the Dothraki horse king, and how to save his other comrades even if it meant sacrificing himself.

But now he found that he was wrong. Not only did Laharo not punish them or make things difficult for them, but he gave them credit for the great achievement!

Baqu's Adam's apple rolled, and after a moment's silence, he suddenly knelt down, with his palms facing up, and lowered his head to kiss Laharo's boots.

"Khal Rahalo! We are willing to swear allegiance to you until death!"

This action caused a chain reaction, and all the surrounding soldiers knelt down.

The last time they swore allegiance was to save their lives, but this time, they chose to express their loyalty to the leader in the Dothraki way!

...

The army rested for three days. On the fourth day, Robert stood on the watchtower of King Robert's Hammer, feeling very proud and drinking strong liquor. The bright red wine dripped down his beard.

Having broken through the narrow gap, the gate of Braavos is just around the corner!

He wiped his mouth hastily and laughed out loud.

On both sides of the flagship, more than a dozen Dromen warships lined up in a line like ferocious beasts, gradually approaching the gates of Braavos!

Each warship is equipped with a tall square ladder on the bow, which is as high as the city wall. As long as the ram is inserted into the wall and the soldiers climb the ladder, they can rush onto the city wall!
It was scorching hot, and suddenly a strong wind blew. Ned Stark squinted his eyes, looked at the sky, and shouted orders.

"The wind's picking up, take in the sails! Get ready to row!"

The signalman immediately waved the flag to convey the order to each warship.

On the deck, soldiers were ready for battle, bare-chested drummers beat cowhide war drums, and sailors pulled ropes and lowered sails.

The oarsman shouted, "Open the portholes and row!"

Inside the cabin, hundreds of rowers were shirtless, their muscles tensed, their hands tightly gripping the oar handles.

As the uniform horns sounded, the rowers rowed the heavy wooden oars with force, and the blades on both sides of the hull dug deep into the sea. The warship advanced towards Pentos like a sophisticated machine!
The warships were getting closer and closer. From the top of the city wall, countless arrows drew dense black arcs in the air and flew through the air.

On the deck, the soldiers stood in dense square formations with their shields raised. The sound of "ding ding dong dong" was heard continuously. Many people were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, but others soon filled the vacancies.

Then, a crack quickly appeared in the shield wall, and the archers hidden in it stood up and shot at the top of the city wall together, then squatted down and quickly closed their shields.

After a few rounds,

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The warship's ram pierced the city wall, the sea water splashed into circles of white waves, and the bridge plank at the top of the ladder fell heavily on the city wall. The soldiers shouted in unison, climbed up the ladder, and rushed up the city wall like a tide!
Ned looked up at the towering walls of Pentos, a huge stone fell from his heart, and he smiled with relief.

Then, a fat slap hit his shoulder, and Robert's hearty laughter came to his ears.

"Pentos, the Iron Throne now belongs!"

On the city wall, the first group of soldiers climbing the city wall suddenly stopped, looked around, and looked confused.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third groups of soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall, crowded the city wall, pushed each other, and their excited expressions also turned into confusion.

On the city wall, there was not a single living person except for the corpses shot to death by bows and arrows!
"What's going on?" The soldiers looked at each other and unconsciously lowered their weapons.

"Look! What's that on the ground?" someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked down and found that the stone floor was covered with a thick layer of grease, which dyed their shoes and toes black.

At this moment, there was a whistling sound of breaking air in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw many red dots appearing in the sky, getting closer and closer. Countless rockets were rushing towards the top of the city like meteors and fell directly into the crowd!
The next moment, the whole world turned into a strange yellow-green color.

"boom……!"

Green flames covered the entire city wall, licking the soldiers' flesh and hair. The steel armor twisted and deformed under the high temperature, and screams resounded through the sky.

"Wildfire! It's wildfire! The people of Pentos can also make wildfire!" A soldier was on fire and struggled desperately to fall off the city wall.

The soldiers still on the ladders had no idea what was happening when their heads were suddenly engulfed by green fire.

"Ah ah ah..."

Afterwards, the soldiers, whose bodies were on fire, screamed and jumped off the city wall like dumplings. Some jumped into the sea, and some jumped directly onto the boat, breaking their bones.

"Clap!"

Robert's wine glass fell to the deck and shattered into countless pieces. His face turned from red to purple, and his anger erupted like a volcano!

"Lahalo! You despicable bastard! You dare to use wildfire! I will kill you!" He raised his fist and roared, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to tear Lahalo into pieces!
"Order!" Ned shouted urgently. "All ships, retreat immediately! Return to the narrows and rest!"

In the cabin, the rowers listened to the screams from the city wall and the thuds of corpses hitting the deck, which was like the torture of hell. Their faces had already turned pale.

When they heard the order to retreat, they felt like they had been pardoned. They rowed backwards with all their might, but no matter how hard they tried, the warship remained motionless.

The battleship's ram had already been firmly nailed to the city wall. As excited as it was when it came, it was now as desperate.

Ned looked at the horrific inferno around him and the green flames gradually extending downwards from the city walls, and grabbed Robert's arm.

"Jump into the sea quickly!!!"
