This spider silk fabric is soft and smooth, and it gleams faintly in the sun. It feels like velvet, which is amazing. Liu Yuan carefully observed the fabric, and a sense of curiosity surged in his heart. He imagined how this magical spider silk was collected and processed, and how the locals mastered this skill.

The elders explained to Liu Yuan: "This kind of giant spider only lives in the deep forest near the Sarn River Delta. They are huge and the spider webs they weave are extremely tough. In order to obtain spider silk, we must risk our lives to enter the forest and carefully avoid the attacks of the giant spiders. Then, we bring the collected spider silk back to the village and go through tedious manual craftsmanship to weave it into exquisite cloth."

Liu Yuan developed a strong interest in this unique fabric. He found that spider silk has strong toughness and even has a certain degree of fire resistance. This amazing discovery made him realize that this spider silk fabric may have extremely high value in the military. And according to the records of the Citadel, the mount of the early White Walkers turned out to be the Ice Spider! Looking at the portraits in the illustrations and comparing them with the spiders in front of him, Liu Yuan was surprised to find that they were extremely similar.

Therefore, Liu Yuan made up his mind to go deep into the forest himself to explore this mysterious big spider and try to bring them into his inner world to enrich the biological resources therein. At the same time, Liu Yuan also noticed the great potential contained in the abandoned city of Ves Le Cosser. Although the years have left deep marks on the city, it still retains some ancient and precious buildings and relics. As long as it is carefully restored and properly used, the city is likely to be revitalized and become a key stronghold. Not only can it enhance the control over the surrounding areas, but it can also provide strong support for the prosperous development of trade and economy. What's more exciting is that cities like this are not unique, and there are dozens of them scattered in the vast area from the north of the Dothraki Sea to the Shivering Sea. Not only that, it is even possible to break Braavos' long-standing monopoly on the Shivering Sea's maritime trade and open up a new route that can directly lead to the northern border of Westeros!

As his understanding of this world deepened, Liu Yuan's mind was filled with all kinds of fantastic ideas and grand plans. He was determined to maximize all the advantages of this place, so as to gain more and greater benefits for the forces he represented - of course, these would need to be realized slowly in the future. After politely declining the young girl offered by the local elders, Liu Yuan began to urge the Dothraki people to take time to rest, and then set out on the journey again the next morning.

Next, they passed through several cities one after another: Wuga Samuil, Jali Kamai, Ves Kvor, the capital of Salor, and Ves G'kay, which resisted the invasion of the Dothraki for the longest time... In addition, there are three ancient cities, namely Lotsla, Hormos and Kaisa, which have long disappeared in the long river of history.

Since the entire army was composed of cavalry, the marching speed was quite fast. It only took them six days to successfully cross most of the Dothraki Sea and successfully reach the edge of the Forest of Qohor.

Qohor and Norvos are located inland, ranking only slightly higher than Pentos among the Free Cities. However, with the shipping of the River Chyne, a tributary of the River Rhoyne, and the gold produced by the Forest of Qohor, Qohor's military strength should not be underestimated. Currently, there are 12,000 garrisons here, most of whom are Unsullied.

In addition, Qohor has been allied with Norvos for four hundred years, and even the powerful Dothraki horse kings dare not attack it easily. For example, Khal Djekor would only plunder Qohor every two or three years, and Qohor would contribute some gold and slaves to get rid of him.

As Liu Yuan and his massive Dothraki host approached, the governors of Qohor were horrified. They had only moments before offered tribute to Khal Zheko, but now they were faced with a khalasar that was even larger and more threatening.

These governors often dealt with the Dothraki and could tell at a glance that this team was unusual. They brought very few old, weak, women and children, and more than 80% of the members were experienced horsemen. It was obvious that this was an army dedicated to fighting. Facing more than 50,000 fierce horsemen, no city-state had the ability to withstand such a powerful offensive.

The governors of Qohor immediately ordered the closure of the city gates and the strengthening of the city defenses. In addition to the city guards, they also mobilized the private soldiers of the nobles in the city and the guards of the merchant group. They also immediately sent envoys to ask for reinforcements from their closest ally, Norvos.

Just as the governors of Qohor were preparing for the attack, a cloud of dust rolled in. A huge cavalry team arrived outside Qohor at an astonishing speed, like a surging torrent.

The soldiers of Qohor stared with wide eyes, their faces full of astonishment, and they had not yet recovered from the shock of the Dothraki's rapid march. The governor cursed: "Damn it! Didn't they say that the Dothraki still needed half a day to travel? How come they are here so soon? You idiots are still in a daze. What are you doing? Get on the wall. If you let an enemy come up, I will chop off your heads!"

The cavalry outside the city did not stop at all, but bypassed the city wall and galloped towards the Qin River Ferry not far away. Someone screamed in fear: "Oh no, these Dothraki are obviously well prepared, they are trying to cut off our communication with the outside world! In this way, the reinforcements from Norvos will have to go around a huge circle to arrive!"

Liu Yuan had no interest in the city of Kohor. He decisively issued an order to let the troops rest for a while and start preparations for crossing the river. However, the number of existing ferries and pontoon bridges was limited, far from meeting the passage needs of the army. So he made a prompt decision and sent thousands of soldiers to the northwest forest to cut down trees to make more pontoon bridges.

Qiao La pointed to the top of the city wall and said worriedly: "Do you need me to explain to the people in the city? Our sudden appearance outside the city must have scared them a lot."

Liu Yuan replied nonchalantly: "It's up to you! We are in a very tight time and will leave here soon. There is really no need to get entangled with them. Besides, even if you tell them the truth, those guys won't believe it."
