Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest
Chapter 45 Northern Swamp
The fog wandered in the gray, rotten, and noisy forests. The unique stench of the wetland swamp continued to permeate the air. In the eastern sky, dark clouds could be seen covering the sun like a rolling black curtain, and the mighty black wild horses were driving the sky.
The fog obscured the sunlight, and Mungo and his men could only judge the direction through the faint light of the fire. The road in front of them was full of various low vines on both sides, and the branches and leaves extended in a messy way to the east and west.
They slowly crossed a mossy swamp. Without a guide familiar with the terrain, they didn't know or guess where they were in this confusing fog.
The Dothraki stationed here, such as Norhat, had a relatively clear understanding of the swamp terrain. Some people wondered why Kao chose to march north from Sa Meier, which was more dangerous. Perhaps it should take less time and go east to the original route, at least they could reach the wide plains soon.
"Whether we go south or east, do we have to go through these stinking places? There is not even a flying bird."
"There are no birds here, but there are snakes, insects, toads, mice, and many disgusting ugly things."
Some people could no longer stand the damp and dirty environment, and complained softly with disgusting expressions.
Nohat tested the ground with a probing stick, took cautious steps, and observed everything around him with his sharp eyes. Facing a large swamp composed of silt and debris, he had to use all his skills as an experienced scout to find a reliable road.
"No, actually you don't have to."
Nohat raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and rest. He twisted his stiff body, raised his head and sniffed the relatively fresh air, and replied:
"If the Dothraki want to return to the Mother Mountain quickly, there is no need. If you take the easy road, you will come directly to the gate of the enemy camp. I believe they will be waiting there easily and welcome the guests. They will be happy to tie you up and take you directly to Vaes Dothraki. Kao knows that going north will take a little more detour. He will lead you through the swamp. You may need to take a long and disgusting road, but in this way you will not be discovered by the enemy's scout cavalry. Be careful to detour behind the enemy, so that we can take the enemy's head effortlessly and gain victory and honor."
In the windless and silent swamp, the stench still permeated. No sunlight could penetrate the low and gathered dark clouds, and even the scenery in the distance around them was completely unclear. After a short rest, they slowly lined up in a row and continued to march forward.
Although the pace of progress was very slow, the walking was completely shrouded in dead silence, with only occasional sounds of trampling mud. The surroundings were filled with lingering pale fog, wet grass, and rotten thorny vines. The only freshness was the disgusting green duckweed floating on the surface of the foaming mud pond. Everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.
They looked for a hard place to stand, walked slowly and carefully, paying careful attention to the wet ground under their feet, and followed the people in front of them. Sometimes even Nohat couldn't figure out what to do next, so they could only go back the same way and set off again.
The wide swamp area was mainly south of the ruins of Sa Mel. If they had the eyes of an eagle flying in the sky, they would know that the army was actually approaching the northern periphery of the swamp.
As the sky gradually brightened, the fog became slightly thinner and more transparent. Although no one could feel any wind direction, they could hear the branches and weeds around them rustling softly and see them swaying slightly.
The air flow made the stench drift away with the wind. With enough light, everyone did not delay resting and kept on going. The swamp became brighter and brighter, the ground became harder and drier, and the area of mud and moss became smaller and smaller.
At this time, a strong wind blew over, sweeping across the foggy swamp, and the sky became less dim. Then, the sun refracted from the west through the gaps in the trees, and the earth seemed to burn again. The hot pleasure boiled in the blood of the Dothraki.
They raised their heads and saw the broken black clouds and the sun suspended above their heads. Everyone insisted on staying where they were, like a child who had just woken up from a nightmare. They felt excited and cheered happily.
"Hard ground, it's dry land. We walked out of this damn wetland."
When the white light came into view, the Dothraki found that they were so close to the dry wilderness, and the air was now much cleaner and fresher.
Although they were getting closer and closer to the death of war, they were no longer confused as if they were in the clouds, nor did they have to endure the stench of the cesspool. Instead, they were as bright and fresh as the morning on the grassland. They finally came to the edge of the swamp, and the muddy ground became slightly moist.
In front of them was a flat wasteland leading to the town of Sehoru, but their final destination was not there, but the enemy army dozens of miles away in the southeast.
Under the sunshine, even in the desolate wilderness, there were still many broken green grasslands preserved. After experiencing the horrible death swamp where only mosses and ferns grew by corruption, the Dothraki were not picky now. They liked a piece of land for grazing very much.
Because the team was too tired to move forward, Mong led the Dothraki roaring warriors to find a high ground to rest.
The figure on the black horse galloped back and forth in the wilderness, warning of unknown dangers. Although the sky was approaching dusk, everyone still chose to lie under the horse's belly to rest in order to block the scorching sun that was baking the earth.
Mengge felt his mouth was dry, so he took a few sips of water from his leather bag. He looked south from where they were now, where was the battlefield on the south bank of the Valanna River. He looked back at the sun slowly moving in the western sky. , no matter how tired he was at this time, it could not relieve the heavy pressure he felt in his heart, and then he ordered to the half-asleep Nohat:
"Convey the order and everyone should be ready to go immediately. We must march urgently and find the enemy before dawn the next day."
Nohat seemed to have lost consciousness and fell asleep. His body was almost completely relaxed and lying flat on the ground. However, if you look closely, you will find that this is not the case. After hearing Kaa's voice, he immediately jumped from the ground. Climbed up.
Looking at the figure riding away, Meng Ge felt that the situation in front of him had become more and more dangerous. His limbs were very heavy, but he still used all his strength to sit up.
Sighing heavily, he had always had some premonition in his heart. The enemy's attack this time was not just a simple encounter. Subsequent crises would continue to attack him until he was completely destroyed in this world.
