#484 - Chapter 218 Daenerys's Courage

These Dothraki riders were drawn from Pentos, and they retained the fierce fighting style of the Dothraki. Ranks of warhorses crashed into the crowd like a tide. Dothraki warriors brandished scimitars, hacking violently through the throng. Each strike carried the whistling sound of death, each blow bringing enemies closer to their demise. Blood splattered, and heads and severed limbs flew.

The Golden Company, numbering less than fifteen thousand, was ambushed by over thirty thousand Dothraki riders. Their lines collapsed instantly, and even their formations were scattered by the dragons.

The battle ended more quickly than expected. The Golden Company was almost completely annihilated. The Dothraki warriors were caught up in the thrill of the slaughter, some even forgetting their mission, indulging only in the joy of killing. In the end, fewer than five thousand prisoners survived.

With the battle over, the Dothraki riders didn't linger. After a brief rest, they continued westward!

The garrison of Rosby emerged from the city gates, beginning to clear the battlefield and rescue their wounded. In the distance, another army approached, mainly infantry, with the black banner bearing a red dragon fluttering in the wind, clearly coming from the direction of Maidenpool.

The four dragons landed on the battlefield, picking up the burned horses and cattle and devouring them. Under Liu Yuan's guidance, these dragons would not actively eat people unless under special circumstances. They were simply enjoying the post-battle feast, replenishing their energy.

Daenerys gracefully dismounted from her dragon, gently stroking Leviathan's scales, feeling its power. Leviathan's scales shimmered, as if responding to Daenerys's touch. This creature had finally agreed to move. Since Liu Yuan's departure, Leviathan had remained in the dragon's nest in the Thornlands, often sleeping for two or three months at a time. Even Daenerys couldn't command it to fight. It was only recently that Leviathan agreed to accept Dany's command, just in time for this great counter-offensive.

The newly arrived army quickly threw itself into the battlefield cleanup. They moved methodically, securing the prisoners, carefully searching every corner to ensure no enemies were missed. The soldiers used their swords to pry open corpses, checking for any feigning death. At the same time, they collected the enemy's weapons and equipment, preparing to take them back to the city.

Daenerys watched them move with precision and order, inwardly praising Galon's training methods. She knew that only an army that had undergone rigorous training and combat experience could execute tasks so efficiently. At this moment, a general-like figure came before Daenerys, knelt on one knee, and reported to her, "Your Majesty, the Skane company reports to you. We have controlled all the towns along the route from Maidenpool to Rosby, and the enemy forces scattered in this area have been wiped out. The people who previously lived here will also be relocated after the war, which should not delay their next crop planting."

Daenerys nodded slightly, acknowledging the soldiers' efforts and sacrifices. Daenerys turned to look at the four dragons that were feeding, and began to conceive the next counterattack plan. She knew that this war had only just begun, and she must seize the opportunity to pursue the enemy in victory. She turned to the general and said, "Well done, you have worked hard. But the war is not over yet, and I will continue to pursue the enemy. I'll leave this place to you, and be vigilant against the enemy from King's Landing!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will keep a close eye on the King's Landing army and will not allow them to affect your plans." After the general received his orders, he stood up and led the soldiers to continue their work.

Daenerys took a deep breath, mounted her dragon, and waved to signal the other three dragons to follow. The dragons spread their wings and flew into the distance, soon disappearing into the sky.

Daenerys's counterattack plan was quite simple and clear: she sent the highly mobile Winter Wolves and Falcons to the Riverlands and worked closely with the local army to defeat the invaders from the Westerlands below Riverrun. In the past, Robb had fought in the Westerlands for a long time and knew the terrain, military deployments, and other details of the area like the back of his hand. Facts proved that Robb was indeed extraordinary, not only successfully eliminating the invading enemy, but also taking the opportunity to attack the Westerlands, advancing all the way like a hot knife through butter, directly approaching Casterly Rock.

King's Landing responded as expected, urgently transferring more than 10,000 troops back to defend the Westerlands, resulting in a force vacuum on the eastern front. Daenerys seized this opportunity, commanded the Queen's Army to launch a counterattack, and quickly defeated the enemy on the eastern front.

Daenerys led the dragons back to the Thornlands, which had always been the focal point of the battlefield between the two armies. Over the past year, the Allied forces had done everything they could, but had never been able to break through the defenses of the Thornlands.

At this time, there were more than 20,000 Dornish troops, 30,000 Reach troops, and 20,000 Lannister troops under the city. Important figures such as Randyll Tarly, Oberyn Martell, and Kevan Lannister were also tied down here.

Daenerys ascended the city wall and scanned the battle lines below. When the soldiers on the city wall saw the Queen's personal arrival, they cheered excitedly, "Long live the Queen!" This cry even reached the ears of the soldiers fighting outside the city, greatly boosting their morale.

Daenerys took the telescope handed to her by Grey Worm and looked into the distance. She saw that the two armies in front were already engaged in fierce fighting, and this time the Queen's Army unexpectedly adopted an active offensive strategy, launching a large-scale counterattack. This move caught the other side off guard, because this time all the elite troops were dispatched, successfully compressing the Allied forces' line back by half a league.

Daenerys's lips curled into a satisfied smile. The enemy on the opposite side obviously did not realize that they had been deliberately feigning weakness. In fact, nearly 80,000 troops are stationed in King's Landing, most of whom are elite forces. In addition, the arena has a complete industrial system that can meet the various material supplies needed for the war.

The reason for not taking the initiative to attack was firstly because Daenerys was pregnant again and could not command the dragons to fight. Secondly, it was to consume the enemy's valuable supplies and further squeeze the opponent's source of troops.

This time Daenerys didn't intend to play with them anymore. She concentrated the strongest army of the Queen's Army and prepared to defeat the enemy's central army main force in one fell swoop. With the investment of the three major knightly orders, the Queen's Army's offensive became more and more fierce, and the Allied army's line was not far from the edge of collapse.

Daenerys turned to the generals around her and gave the order: "It's time, put the heavy cavalry regiment into the battle. Do you see the Lannister army on the enemy's left flank? Give me a hard hit, and be sure to defeat the enemy. The follow-up troops take advantage of the situation to pursue, not giving them a chance to breathe!" After speaking, she waved the whip in her hand and directed the dragons to launch an attack.
