Chapter 395
Littlefinger coughed,
"Your Majesty, I can borrow from the Lannister family of Casterly Rock."
The new Hand of the King, the Warden of the North, Stark, was also stunned; it was one thing for the country to be this poor, but the Small Council was actually discussing how to assassinate a little girl?!
"Your Majesty, assassinating a little girl is against the knightly code."
Robert roared,
"I rule the Seven Kingdoms through blood and fear!"
The assassination was arranged; Robert wanted top-tier killers,
Unfortunately, the budget was limited, and after being subcontracted layer by layer, the assassins sent to kill the Dragon Mother had dropped several grades...
Liu Bei led his great army and spent nearly a month returning to the holy city.
Several Khals had already brought their troops to gather here.
Previously, the Horse King was the greatest power among the Khals, but now that he was dead, the other Khals had other ideas and naturally didn't want to let Liu Bei continue to be the boss.
Axemen were already hidden around the perimeter of the wooden great hall.
Liu Bei walked into the great hall with only the Dragon Mother and the three small dragons that could now only puff smoke.
He sat at the very head of the table with the Dragon Mother, taking his place as a matter of course.
Several Khals were furious, and Khal Jommo shouted,
"Boy, that is not a seat for you!"
Liu Bei was unhurried,
"Since none of you are sitting, I'll naturally sit there."
Khal Moso stared at the Dragon Mother,
"Your Khaleesi is not bad; let us enjoy her tonight."
The three small dragons roared at Moso, though they looked more cute than anything else right now.
Liu Bei leaped up and kicked Khal Moso to the ground!
Before Moso could even scream, Liu Bei kicked him again!
"Crack!"
His sternum shattered, and he died on the spot!
"My woman is never shared!"
Everyone was shocked; it was too brutal!
Several exchanged glances, drew their scimitars, and prepared to surround and attack Liu Bei together!
Liu Bei was faster than them; he attacked with his bare hands, snapped one Khal's neck, snatched his scimitar, and with a few swift slashes, killed the other Khals on the spot!
The Dragon Mother's eyes sparkled,
"My Khal is truly heroic!"
The three small dragons were also chirping there; Drogon even wanted to come and eat meat, but was kicked away by Liu Bei—eating human flesh was not a good habit!
Baby dragon Drogon was extremely aggrieved and jumped into the Dragon Mother's arms for comfort.
The Dragon Mother hurriedly fed Drogon some mutton...
Liu Bei shook his head,
"Daenerys, spare the rod and spoil the child!"
He dragged the dead Khals by their hair and threw them to the door.
The bloodriders of these Khals had red eyes and drew their swords to kill Liu Bei!
Liu Bei smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, retreated back into the great hall, and threw the torch in his hand onto the oil-soaked floor.
"Boom!"
The fire was ignited instantly, and the soldiers who rushed in were quickly consumed by the flames, letting out shrill screams.
Soon,
The entire great hall began to burn.
The Dothraki surrounding the hall were dumbfounded; the Khals were all inside! Their Khals were all dead, what should they do?
An hour later,
Liu Bei walked out of the raging flames with the Dragon Mother and the three small dragons!
It instantly stunned all the Dothraki around!
"The Unburnt!"
"He even has dragons!"
"Khal! Khaleesi!"
Many prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting loudly.
Liu Bei quickly took control of the fifty thousand troops here.
He selected fifteen thousand elites to merge into his own twenty-five thousand elites, and handed the other soldiers over to his bloodriders, Cohollo and Haggo, to lead.
In the days that followed,
Liu Bei led the Dothraki elites on expeditions across the grasslands, killing all the Khals who refused to submit to him!
He consolidated sixty thousand elite cavalry.
The remaining troops were also replaced with his trusted followers who had accompanied him on his expeditions, left to guard various parts of the grasslands.
Song Yi and Reba, by virtue of their bravery and Liu Bei's promotion, became his Ko, or lieutenants.
Compared to his previous battles of wits and courage with Cao Cao, Liu Bei felt that fighting here was really too easy.
Either win in a duel!
Or swarm them and hack the opposing Khal to death... no difficulty, no technique or tactics.
Those Khals, facing Liu Bei's elites who already knew how to charge and use encirclement formations, were completely vulnerable!
In the tent,
Song Yi hooked her arms around Liu Bei's neck and said coquettishly,
"Captain, let's rest a bit more."
Liu Bei put his arms around Song Yi's slender waist, which had no excess fat, marveling that the little enchantress's stamina seemed to be getting better and better.
"Little sister, are you really aiming for a rest?"
Seven hundred and ten months ago, Song Yi was surrounded, and after Liu Bei led his personal guards in a charge to save her, this little girl had latched onto him.
On a dark and windy night, when the Dragon Mother was taking her turn to rest,
Song Yi ambushed her captain!
Innocent Reba was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what these two were doing behind her back.
The Dothraki had been consolidated, and Liu Bei called the three of them together to discuss future matters.
The three dragons were already as big as puppies, sleeping soundly at everyone's feet.
The Dragon Mother had learned the breathing and meditation techniques Liu Bei taught her, and her physical fitness had also become stronger; she could now handle two or three ordinary soldiers.
Reba was a bit depressed,
"Tiezi and Daenerys, why is your skin getting more and more supple? Wuwu, we all practice the breathing and meditation techniques, the gap is a bit big."
The Dragon Mother and Song Yi exchanged a glance; should they tell Reba it was because Liu Bei was giving them special treatment?
Liu Bei laughed,
"Alright, there will be bread, and there will be good skin. Now, our primary goal is to go south to Slaver's Bay and obtain powerful soldiers."
The Dragon Mother was a bit strange,
"Liu, the Dothraki are already very powerful, are there even more powerful ones?"
Liu Bei nodded,
"Khaleesi, the Unsullied slave soldiers of Astapor are the best source of troops in the continent of Essos. Each of them is elite, each of them obeys orders. A powerful army doesn't care about numbers, but about obeying orders and not fearing death!"
The Dragon Mother understood half of it, but felt she had learned something.
She sighed softly,
"Why must there be slaves? People are not born to be slaves."
Liu Bei smiled; the Dragon Mother was indeed a born liberator, already feeling sorry for the slaves.
"Daenerys, you have already grasped the way to make them loyal to you."
The Dragon Mother?? With a confused face,
