Essos Nine majors Free Cities Qohor
In a mansion in the center of Qohor City, you can see a magnificently decorated hall. The pillars in the hall are all made of gold, and the overall decoration style is very Western-style.
The seats were filled with gorgeously dressed nobles. These people were all nobles of Qohor City. After Valyria was destroyed by the doomsday catastrophe, the city-state took this opportunity to get rid of the control of Valyria. Now the power of this city-state is held by the nobles in the city and the religious priests.
As the moving music played, there were many beautiful and scantily clad dancers dancing on the dance floor in the center of the hall. The nobles sitting on both sides of the hall were drinking wine while watching the dancers' moving movements.
From time to time, nobles would look at the dancers with dazzling smiles, and many of them would communicate with the people sitting next to them.
"Yuri, thank you for your hospitality!!!"
A man dressed as a priest raised his wine glass and said to the people sitting at the main seat in the hall.
"Hahaha, no need to be polite, Rick, I will be very happy if you come to support me, come on, please!!!"
After hearing what Rick said, Yuri also raised his glass and said to him. After saying that, he followed Rick to have a glass of wine in the air, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Hahaha, it's cool, Rick, come to my house, don't be restrained, just enjoy yourself. It doesn't matter if there is a dancer you like and you can just take her away!"
Yuri finished the wine and asked the maid serving next to get him a glass, and then said to Rick.
After Rick heard what Yuri said, he said directly and unceremoniously, "In this case, Yuri, then I won't be polite!!!"
After Rick finished speaking, he toasted Yuri with a glass of wine from a distance.
After the two parties finished drinking, they looked at each other and both couldn't help but smile.
While everyone was enjoying themselves, a man wearing armor suddenly burst in from outside the hall.
The man pushed open the door of the hall with a serious look on his face, turned a blind eye to the dancing girl who showed a large area of white skin, came directly to Yuri, and said in his ear.
"Sir, someone from the city defense army just came to report that a group of Dothraki suddenly appeared outside the city. It looks like there are about 10,000 people."
Yuri was also shocked when he heard the man's words. When he brought the wine glass to his mouth, his hand shook in surprise and spilled a lot of wine.
"Have you seen clearly which Khalasar from Khal is here? Is it someone from Jheko?"
Yuri said directly to the man.
Jheko is a Dothraki Khal. Every three or four years, he will lead his Khalasar to the suburbs of Qohor City. In order to send him away, the Qohor people will pay tribute to him with some gold every time.
All the nobles in Qohor City are very familiar with Jheko. It only costs some gold to send him away, which is really profitable.
Although Qohor once had a history of successfully using Unsullied to block Dothraki.
Dothraki appeared on horseback from the east for the first time. A Khalasar force of at least 50,000 people led by Temo Khal advanced on Qohor, burning, killing and looting along the way.
Qohor people strengthened the city wall, doubled the number of soldiers, hired two mercenary groups - Bright Banners and Second Sons, and purchased three thousand Unsullied.
Qohor's cavalry met the enemy but was defeated, and the mercenary group fled. Fortunately, Unsullied appeared in time. They defended under the city wall and finally repelled Dothraki, so Qohor survived.
Qohor used Unsullied to protect himself before.
However, the cost of buying Unsullied is too high, and the training time of Unsullied is too long. The supply of the entire Essos is in short supply. For the nobles in the city, it is more cost-effective to pay tribute directly with gold. After all, anything that can be solved with money is nothing.
And some time ago, news came from Slaver's Bay that there were many businessmen who wanted to buy slaves from Slaver's Bay.
After going to Slaver's Bay, I found that the entire Slaver's Bay had been destroyed. The places where the three city-states of Yunkai, Meereen, and Astapor used to be were all scorched earth. Some people even organized people to dig deep into the ground to find survivors, but unfortunately nothing was found in the end.
However, many horse hoof prints were found outside the city, and many people speculated that it was Dothraki who did it.
But someone immediately retorted that Dothraki was brave, but he did not have the power to wipe the entire city-state off the map. After all, the entire city-state seemed to have been hit by a meteorite.
Now the story of Slaver's Bay's destruction has been spread throughout Essos. Many people think that this is another disaster like the Valyria catastrophe, but the scale is smaller than the Valyria catastrophe.
"Sir, after careful observation, I found that it is indeed not Jheko Khal. When I was with you before, I saw Jheko Khal. This time it is obviously not him. After careful observation on the city wall, I found that this is another Khalasar!"
Yuri heard the man's words, lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up from his seat and said:
"Everyone, I'm sorry. Just now, people from the city defense army came to inform that a new Khalasar has arrived outside. It looks like it is coming in a menacing way. It seems that today's party can only be held here. I will invite everyone to a gathering another day. Now, please let the heads of the major families go to the city wall with me and the priest to take a look at the situation!"
The people below originally thought that Yuri stood up from the chair and thought he had some new tricks.
As a result, I heard such explosive news. The arrival of a new Khalasar is not a trivial matter. We must seize the time to discuss countermeasures.
After Rick heard what Yuri said, he stood up and responded:
"Yuri, have you confirmed it? The person who came is not Jheko Khal, but a new Khal leading his Khalasar?"
After Yuri listened to Rick's words, he pointed to the man in armor standing next to him and said:
"This is Lyon. You have all seen it. He used to be my bodyguard. Because he protected me, he was transferred to the city defense army as a defense commander. He has met many Khal with me. He is very sure that the one who came is not Jheko, but another Khal."
After saying that, Yuri made a gesture towards Lyon, asking him to step forward and give the specific details.
"My lords, I am currently serving as the defense officer of the Dongmen City Defense Force. Jheko Khal and his bandits have met several times with my master. It is indeed not him who came this time. Moreover, the Khalasar who came this time only came with ten thousand Dothraki cavalry. It cannot be ruled out that they still have cavalry in the camp outside the city!"
After Lyon finished speaking, he automatically retreated to the back and gave up his position to Yuri.
Rick frowned underneath and said to Rick:
"Rick, in that case, let's go take a look together. By the way, let someone notify the other nobles who have not come here, and ask them to join us at the city wall to discuss how to deal with this Khalasar!"
