109 Chapter 109

I get out of the ship and take a deep breath. This is Stormfist, the major port city of Lunaria Kingdom. Just like Sol-Luna, Stormfist is a naval superpower that made sure the pirates from the Bloodstone did not dare to go south.

As my leg touched the land, a middle-aged man walked toward me. This man is Ferid, the Mayor of Stormfist.

He is the one taking care of this city for me.

"Welcome to Stormfist, Your highness. The city is yours to command."

"Thank you, Ferid."

"Please follow me, your highness. I have already prepared the room for you."

I nod my head and follow him to the mansion. When we arrived inside the mansion, Ferid led me to one of the rooms, and I could see four people inside. They are the General and Admiral of Stormfist. If it were people from Westeros or even people from outside Lunaria, they would be shocked to see that Ferid did not prepare a feast for my arrival.

I don't know where this tradition comes from, but people always put business first before a feast. I guess they are copying me? I always tell my people that I want to finish the business we have before feasting because eating with a problem in hand is not good in my mind.

"Welcome, Your highness."

I nod and order them to raise their heads. I sit on the chair at the edge of the table and say.

"How is the situation?"

I look at the four men and ask about the situation.

"Not too bad, your highness. Khal Jorgo is confident in his victory, he and his Khalasar decide to slowly march here."

"I see. They are starting to move, huh? How many of them and which route will they take?"

One of the generals nods his head and points his finger at the map.

"They will follow the southern part of the former Disputed Land and use the steppe as their home. They did not know that it had already become a forest."

"Will they use another route if they know it has become a forest?"

"I don't think so, your majesty. If they want to use the other route, they will go through the mountainous part of this land and the Dothraki hate the mountain because it hinders their horses."

I nod my head and say.

"How many of them?"

"Their number is around forty-one thousand men to forty-five thousand men."

"They have the number, huh?"

I look at the location for a few minutes before saying.

"Gather the best hunter and archer we have. We will attack them right away. We will interrupt their march and wait for them in the forest. I will be leading the attack."

"You can't, your highness!"

I look at the generals as they look at me with a frown.

"You are a king! You cannot just lead an army to fight a bigger army!"

"What kind of leader am I for not leading my men from the front?"

"Then let us come as well! We cannot let our king get to the frontline while we are standing at the back."

"I will take two of you while the other will be leading our other force to encircle the Dothraki."

"Encirclement?"

I nod my head and look at the map, then point my finger at the river not too far away from the mountain.

"The second team will bring engineers and carpenters with them. They will use a boat to sail to the south and kill the Dothraki from the back."

"I see. We did not need to bring any boat with us but rather built it on the spot. However, it is still taking too long, your highness."

"That is why you will also bring a couple dozen of Black Dogs divisions with you. They will be the one helping you chop the tree and help the engineer and carpenter to make enough boats."

"Who will be the one leading the second group?"

"You can decide it by yourself."

"Understood."

"I also want you to bring a lot of muskets with you guys."

"Musket, your highness? Doesn't it make too much noise?"

"And that is a great thing! Dothraki's horse is their strength and because of this, we need to get rid of them. Horses are afraid of new and loud sounds. A hundred Muskets are perfect for this. If you want to kill them, that is good but the main reason why you guys bring a lot of muskets is because to scare the horse."

I can see a lot of nodding, and I continue.

"I also want you guys to implement a simple formation."

For half an hour, I explain to them a three-line formation and how to use it in battle. I don't think it will be an effective formation because of the lack of training, but it was useful to learn it early.

This operation is all counting on surprise attacks and timing. We need them all to get inside the forest before ambushing them.

|3rd POV|

More than forty thousand riders march through the land, leaving destruction behind. The Triarch of Volantis willing to sacrifice their town and village near Volantis to the Dothraki as long as they destroy the city Lunaria owns.

They are envious of Lunaria, for they are now the ruler of the Disputed Land and have already built a city on the shoreline of the Disputed Land. They want those lands and are willing to sacrifice a few thousand people just to take them back because, in their mind, those lands are theirs to do as they please.

The three men are sitting on a fancy chair and wearing a lot of jewelry, celebrating their brilliant plan.

"Our plan will work. The Dothraki will not lose and we can take over all the city after they raid them."

"That's right! It is their fault to dare to take over the lands. If they stay on their little island, the Dothraki will never agree with our offer."

"Hear! Hear!"

Here the three of them were laughing and praising each other, but they didn't know Lunaria was introducing a new kind of warfare to the world.
