Capítulo 270: Chapter 270: Reinforcements Arrive
Translator here- looks like my update to include the harem tag got my book flagged due to it originally having the raw name of the book and author in its original chinses in the description which had gone under the radar before. I've submitted my appeal and deleted the Chinese text so hopefully it will allow you all to give stones and the like again soon.

"Draw your bows!"
"Fire!"
On the chaotic battlefield, the shaky frontline managed to withstand the first wave of pressure, while the archers in the rear continued to release their arrows.
Another volley of arrows rained down, countless arrows flew towards the sky, then fell down like a torrential downpour.
The Targaryen army was well-equipped, using barbed arrows, which were most effective against unarmored soldiers like the Dothraki.
Once these arrows pierced flesh, they had to be dug out, taking a chunk of flesh with them. Moreover, the arrowheads were often coated with poison made from golden juice or poisonous herbs.
Given the current medical conditions of the Dothraki, being hit by an arrow was almost certainly a death sentence, with little chance of survival.
A torrent of arrows once again fell into the endless stream of Dothraki.
Thud thud thud—
Another group of Dothraki warriors, brandishing their curved swords and howling, were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, then were trampled into a bloody pulp.
However, the Dothraki also launched a counterattack. As a nomadic people, the Dothraki were most proficient with curved swords, bows and arrows, and long whips.
A bloodrider of a Khal in the front line let out a sharp whistle, and then countless Dothraki following him took short bows from their backs.
They then clamped their legs around their horses' bellies, relying on their strong core strength to stabilize their bodies on the galloping war horses.
Then they drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
Thump thump thump—
A dark volley of arrows flew out, the Dothraki had begun to counterattack, their arrows bypassing the chaotic battlefield in front and falling towards the rear of the Targaryen army.
"Raise your shields!"
"Raise your shields!"
The generals and captains in the army changed their expressions and then ordered the shield bearers in the rear to raise their shields over their heads to block this wave of arrows.
Then a dense rain of arrows fell, striking the shields and making a clattering noise.
However, there were still many arrows that either couldn't be dodged in time or slipped through the gaps in the shields, hitting the Targaryen soldiers.
"Ah!"
Screams of pain immediately rang out.
...
The war continued to escalate.
"Abandon the first line of defense."
"Let the reserve team take over!"
Bessie calmly surveyed the battlefield, issuing commands in rapid succession.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
"Fall back to the second line of defense!"
"Let the reserve team take over!"
Her generals obeyed the orders of their commander without hesitation.
The frontline battle continued, and the soldiers in the midst of the melee might not be aware, but the line was steadily retreating.
Countless war horses continued to crash into the shields, and no matter how sturdy the shield formation was, it would eventually be shattered.
Crack—
The wooden pole of a spear held by a soldier was broken.
"Die!"
Then he drew the long sword from his waist and, with bloodshot eyes, pounced on the enemy in front of him who had fallen from his horse, stabbing him with a sword and cutting off his head.
However, a Dothraki who had jumped down from his horse pounced on him, howling, and then slit his throat.
Spurt—
Blood spurted out, but he still clung to the Dothraki's wrist without letting go.
The frontline battle was extremely fierce, and everyone was seeing red.
At this moment.
The castle gates on both sides opened wide,
and two groups of knights clad in bright plate armor, even their warhorses covered in armor, emerged. They held their lances under their arms, exchanged a glance, and then spurred their horses towards the distant battlefield.
They were Bessie's trump card in this situation.
"Charge!"
"Obey the orders of our commander, cut through the battlefield!"
For heavy cavalry, the first priority was to avoid getting stuck in the battlefield. However, the current battlefield was vast. Although the charge of the heavy cavalry was powerful, and they were entering the battlefield from the side, it was still very difficult for both sides to cut through the battlefield. If they were not careful, they would all get stuck in it.
That would be a disaster for this group of knights.
However, a soldier's duty was to obey orders, and they had great trust in their commander.
Then these two groups of cavalry appeared on the side of the battlefield and charged into the battlefield.
Rumble—
The warhorses galloped, their momentum overwhelming.
In the distance.
Seeing the appearance of the two groups of heavy cavalry, the Khal finally showed a smile on his face.
"Is this the 'Dragonrider Khal's' strategy?"
He knew the other side had plans, but he was confident in his own strength.
However, he didn't expect that after all this waiting, the other side's strategy seemed to be just some tactical changes on the battlefield, nothing new.
He was wary of the losses the previous Khal had suffered, preventing the other side from suddenly using some fire attack.
He even had a dense array of giant crossbows hidden behind him, thinking that the other side's dragon would come to support, and then give a heavy blow, but nothing happened.
"That Viserys is not here, he is still trapped in Pentos."
And the Moro Khal next to him shook his head and spoke.
'Dragonrider Khal' is the Dothraki's name for Viserys, just as they call the Pentos prince who rides in a carriage 'Lame Khal'.
Khal in the Dothraki language is equivalent to king.
"Can a dragon fly over in a day?"
"You're too cautious, Khal."
They had recently received information that Viserys and his dragon should still be in Pentos, even just dealing with a rebellion.
At that time, the city gate was wide open, and the Dothraki warriors had already poured in. If it weren't for his dragon, Pentos would probably have fallen.
This was the flaw in their intelligence. Although they had the help of the Braavosi, there was still a delay in intelligence.
Then the Khal hesitated no more, waved his hand for the whole army to press on. Just now he had been holding back, and the Targaryen army was already gasping for breath. Now, with the whole army pressing on, it was like wanting to swallow them in one bite, not giving them a chance to escape back into the castle.
Otherwise, it would be another headache for the Khal. But as long as they took this castle, what lay ahead was the flat Andal plain.
That was where the Dothraki warriors could show their prowess. They had no pressure, they could burn, kill, loot, and divide up the Targaryen feast.
With the Khal's order, countless Dothraki who had been itching for a fight let out excited howls, then spurred their warhorses and charged towards the distant battlefield.
At this moment.
The Dothraki pressed on with their entire army.
From the side of the battlefield, in the direction of the Rhoyne River, a small black dot first appeared on the horizon in the distance, then a long black line appeared on the horizon.
"Heh—"
Rhaegal, the green dragon, let out a roar. The princess of the new dynasty, Rhaenys, sat on the dragon's back, clad in a small suit of armor.
Her hands tightly gripped the saddle in front of her, the wild wind whipping the girl's brown hair, then she dove towards the position of the Khal below.
"Found you."
Excitement shone in Rhaenys's dark eyes.
She was luckier than Viserys, she had spotted the commanding Khal among the crowd with just one glance, knowing he was the leader of the Dothraki.
This was also the task her uncle Oberyn had given her.
"Dracarys!"
Rhaenys bit her white teeth slightly and whispered in High Valyrian.
Boom—
The next second, a huge flame descended upon the world.
