5 Chapter 5

A/N: After some research, I found out that the free cities were run generally by a small council of magisters so instead of calling them maesters they will now be called magisters.

After making camp at the wall Greg and his soldiers set up camp with all of the other mercenary soldiers and waited for the day of the Dothraki arrival.

After two days of waiting The Dothraki were spotted outside the gates and all the mercenaries and the unsullied had prepared to themselves on the wall. The Magisters had set up some artillery around the walls to fire at the attacking Dothraki force.

As the Dothraki came into view of the gates of Qohor the Khal ordered his men to make camp outside of Qohor and block all the roads to try and force the city to give them tribute. The Khal had made the camp too far for artillery to hit so the unsullied and mercenaries couldn't do anything but stand there and wait.

After 8 days of waiting the Magisters were getting annoyed since all trade had been blocked because if this the traders aren't able to get by and the food supply for the city was running low so the Magisters had a meeting on what to do.

The meeting which lasted for a couple of hours was ended with the decision that the unsullied and mercenaries will have to go out and fight the Dothraki outside the walls since they didn't want to pay any tribute.

Most of the mercenary companies know that the advantage would be lost since they will be facing the Dothraki out in the open which is a death trap for them since the only cavalry that they had was only 400 cavalry and they belonged to various mercenary groups.

400 Cavalry against thousands of cavalry was not even a good match up and the cavalry would be quickly overrun so the mercenaries had set up their individual cavalry into ambush locations to flank the Dothraki once the battle starts. A commander was already selected for the battle from amongst the mercenary parties

Outside the wall of Qohor Unsullied and mercenaries prepared for battle against the Dothraki who were already aware of what was going on and they were getting their horses ready to charge at the advancing Qohor defense army.

Greg and his group would be in the rear of the army protecting the flank or that was what he would like to think when he really knows that the other mercenaries convinced the commander to place his group at the back since they feared they would take all glory with their full plate armor that they had. But Greg wasn't mad since he would let them take the brunt of the damage while he and his forces will be at the rear preserving their strength.

As the defense army advanced forward toward the Dothraki camp ahead of them they saw thousands of Dothraki on Horses charging at them so the commander ordered the unsullied to the front and told them to brace themselves with their shields up. The archers were already firing on the Dothraki charging but they were also taking casualties since the Dothraki had horse archers which fired back at the archers

At the Frontline the unsullied had their shields up preparing to take the charge of the horses But the strength of a Horse was greater than that of a Human so the horses easily ran through the unsullied and broke the frontline which made a hole that lead to the middle of the army.

Seeing the frontline Broken the commander immediately tried to hurry and move soldiers in to close the whole in their frontline but most of the soldiers in the middle were engaged in combat with Dothraki and a group had broken through the middle heading to the rear of the army.

Greg seeing the Dothraki approaching shook his head and ordered his men to get into a small line with shields in the front forming a shield wall with soldiers behind them supporting the frontline soldiers. Since Greg's soldiers were more organized they managed to form a complete shield wall before the Dothraki approached.

Once the Dothraki clashed with the shield wall the spartans in the second line had thrust their spears forward decimating the horses of the Dothraki and once the Dothraki fell off their horse the frontline soldiers moved to kill the Dothraki. This process was repeated until the Dothraki group was all killed without losing a single soldier on Greg's side.

Greg had then ordered his men to move forward and help the other soldiers who were fighting in the frontline and he also signaled the 50 Mamluks to charge into battle. Greg then took himself and 5 Royal Spartans and charged into battle alongside the others.
