Chapter 58: Chapter 58
|3rd POV|
A man rides through the land in the middle of the night, using the cover of the night to hide him and his horse from the enemies from noticing him. He watches the town in the distance with a frown on his face.
"They have walls. This will be a problem."
This man is the scout of the Khalasar. He is scouting ahead to inform the others about the situation of the town they want to attack. However, after seeing the massive wall around the town, he knows that they cannot do what they always do: come in and burn the town.
Now, they need to use the strategy they use against bigger cities like Volantis. Make a camp outside the city and burn all the villages and farms near the town. They need to force the people behind the wall to come out of the city and face them in the open.
The Dothraki do not have anything that can take over a walled city, but they can make sure the people behind the wall suffer. Starvation is among the things they will do to them. He does not like this kind of thing because it removes the thrill of the hunt and killing. However, there is nothing they can do for now.
"I need to inform the Khal."
He rides through the grassland and arrives at the campsite where the rest of the Khalasar stay. He quickly enters the Khal's tent and bows.
"My khal! I bring news!"
"What is it? How is the target?"
"The town is walled, my Khal!"
Khal Kako clicks his tongue and says.
"I hate this. However, I already gave my word to raid that town! We will still march tomorrow morning and encircle that town! We will raid all the villages nearby and burn their farms!"
The bloodriders of the Khal cheer at the announcement, and the slaves in the tent cower in fear as they feel the blood lust the bloodriders and Khal release. However, they don't know that this decision will be something that comes out of their nightmare.

The next day, Viserys and the others watch as the Dothraki encircle their town. They do not do anything but make a camp outside the town wall. Viserys looks at Melisandre and says,
"Melisandre, how long will the food last?"
"Three months at best, my lord."
"That means we need to start our plan immediately."
Viserys looks at Willem and says,
"Gather the others. We will start the plan. We will start our move tomorrow evening. For now, call the archers. We will attack them from here."
He can see the soldier from this town look at me in shock. They do not believe my people can shoot them from this distance. The camp is about four hundred to five hundred meters from the wall. That might be hard for normal humans or even impossible, but with the power of Minecraft, it is possible.
Forty people walk forward with the enchanted bows in their hands and potions in their other hands.
"Chug!"
Viserys shout, and they chug the potions. They draw their bows and point at the sky when they are done.
"Fire!"
He looks through his spyglass and smiles when he sees the arrows hit their building. Viserys' smile gets bigger when he sees the tent caught on fire.
"Fire!"
He shouts once again and sees another volley of arrows land on them. Most of them missed the people, but they hit the tent and even the animals the Dothraki brought with them.
"Fire!"
Viseyrs will make sure they lose something in this first 'battle,' and when they decide to stay near the forest, Visyers and his people will make their days even worse.
After their twentieth volley, the Dothraki managed to take the important things and ran away. The others start to cheer when they see the Dothraki run away. Viserys looks at them and say.
"The fight is not yet over. The Dothraki are still there, and we still need to defeat them. Willem, cancel the previous plan. We will go when the sun goes down. We will not let them sleep."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Also, bring the Potion of Invisibility and Potion of Poison. We will need them."
==||==
It was a humiliating thing for Khal Kako. To be forced to retreat is something that he cannot accept. Even though they only retreat into the forest and do not completely retreat, it is still a stain on his good name.
They manage to make a camp just after the sun goes down. Kako calls all his men to his tent to have a talk.
Kako looks at his Kos, Commander in his Khalasar (Horde), and says.
"We will start burning the farm tomorrow. We will show them what it means to mess with me."
With the other agreement and shout of vengeance, Kako grins and says.
"Tomorrow morning, we will attack the village in the north, and then we will burn the farm near the wall. We will go there and burn them without stopping. Let them starve while we feast on the food they grow."
Kako takes a deep breath and opens his mouth.
"We shall show them what fear is! We–"
Before he can finish his words, he can hear screaming outside the tent. Kako and the others run out of the tent to see half of the tent set ablaze. What makes matters worse is that someone destroys the fence where the lamb stays, and with the fence destroyed and the fire, the lambs start to run away.
It takes them a long time before they manage to put off the fire. They are lucky they make a camp near a lake. That night, Kako and his Khalasar do not get that much sleep.
==||==
When the sun rises, Khal Kako receives another piece of bad news. Many of his men died that night. They are dying after consuming the water from the lake. They just consume poisoned water.
Other than burning their camps and releasing their animals, Viserys and his group also poisoned their water supply. What they are drinking is water tainted by three dozen of [Potion of Poison II].
With a roar of anger, Khal Kako orders the men who can still ride to raid all the villages near the Town. With one thousand men behind him, he rides through the forest. However, they get another surprise when they see all the villages around them already empty.
The entire village is empty and burned to the ground. Not only that, the well was already closed up and poisoned by Viserys and his group. If they open the well and drink the water, they will have the same result as the people back at the camp.
Kako grits his teeth as he goes from one village to another without stopping, only to see the same result. With only one option left, he and his horde ride toward Gurlian to burn all the farms around the town.
However, what greets them is the sight of billowing black smoke as he watches the people of Gurlian burn their own farm, leaving nothing for them to take and burn.
This is the tactic Viserys uses to handle the Dothraki. Kill their food supply and block them from getting more food. Slowly kill the Dothraki without giving them a chance to stand back up. This is the nightmare Kako needs to face.
