Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

The west-slanting sun casts a dim yellow light.

Samwell and his party have rushed out of Sandstone City, and an endless sea of ​​sand spread out in front of them.

The world became dim and monotonous again.

Samwell slowed down his horse and began to count the number of people.

From the original two hundred cavalry, there are only one hundred and forty cavalry left, which shows that the loss is not small.

However, the results obtained are quite brilliant, and the task of harassment has been overfulfilled.

They not only harassed the Kogel family's logistics and transportation routes, but directly took the other party's hometown, and burned all the food and grass. Now Count Quentin Kogel may be in a bad situation.

I am afraid that the food and grass supplies of the frontline soldiers and horses have to be borrowed from other lords.

Oh yes, the heirs of the Kogel family are all dead. I wonder if Earl Quentin will withdraw his troops in a rage and come back to trouble Samwell, the murderer.

The cavalry team went all the way north, away from Sandstone City, and found a village with a water source to rest.

Out of self-confidence, Sam Wells allowed the soldiers to light a fire, eat some hot food, and drink some wine——

Of course, not drunk.

After these victories, Samwell believed that the Dornish people around Sandstone City should have no courage to trouble them again, unless Earl Quentin led the army back.

Therefore, you can relax a little bit and let the soldiers adjust their tense emotions.

Dickon Tarly was roasting the leg of lamb over the campfire, and kept asking his brother how to use the powerful flaming sword.

Samwell didn't know how to answer this kind of question, so he could only make it up.

Fortunately, Dickon was easy to fool, he believed everything Samwell said.

When the leg of lamb began to drip, Dickon sprinkled it with spices he had scavenged from the Koggle castle, and sent it graciously to his brother.

Samwell took a bite, it was hot and fragrant, full of strength, and he gave his brother a thumbs up in satisfaction.

While biting, he saw Obaya Sand staring at him.

"What? Are you hungry?" Samwell teased the prince's illegitimate daughter, "But the captives will be the last to eat, and a few bones will be left for you to chew on then."

Obaya ignored his ridicule, just stared at the giant sword behind the man, and said in an inexplicable tone:

"[Liming] actually recognizes you as the master, this is really..."

"What is it?" Samwell asked with a smile.

It took Obaya a long time to squeeze out a few words between her teeth: "The gods made a mistake!"

Samwell laughed loudly: "You are a mere mortal, and you start to question the gods."

"Or it's the devil's trick!" Obara said bitterly, "That's right, you only mastered that divine sword with the help of the devil's power, you are the son of the devil!"

"What are you talking about!" Dickon yelled, he couldn't accept insults to his brother whom he adored.

Samwell was not angry, he raised his hand to stop his excited brother, and still smiled and said:

"Miss Obaya, your logic is really strange. The Dane family uses [Dawn] to be the 'Dawn Sword', and I also use [Dawn], and I use it even better, but I become a child of the devil? Isn't it necessarily evil as long as you are against you Dornishmen?"

Obara snorted softly, turned her head away, and didn't want to talk to the man again.

Samwell didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only threw a few bones to Obaya after everyone finished eating.

The prince's illegitimate daughter actually gnawed at the bits of meat on the bone, she wasn't squeamish at all.

After arranging the manpower for the night, Lucas Dane found Samwell and asked:

"My lord, what's your plan next?"

Samwell lay lazily halfway by the campfire, and fell into deep thought after hearing the words.

What to do next is indeed a good question.

His harassing task this time has been overfulfilled, and it is impossible for the Kogel family to send a logistics transport convoy, so there is no need for them to harass again.

As for Sandstone City, since it cannot be occupied and all the good things inside have been searched, it is of little value to Samwell for the time being.

In this case, is it possible to go to other places?

To the west of Sandstone City is the direction they came from, to the south is the Sea of ​​Summer, and to the east is Prison Gate Castle, which is the territory of the Wule family.

Why don't you try to capture the prison gate castle?

Samwell licked his lips, a little moved.

But soon, he dismissed the idea.

He was able to capture Sandstone City this time, in fact, there were many coincidence factors in it, especially thanks to the divine assist of the illegitimate daughter of the "Red Viper", but even so, the soldiers under him suffered heavy losses.

It would be very dangerous if he tried to attack the Prison Gate Castle again.

What's more, Samwell remembered that Merasis, one of the three dragons of "Conqueror" Aegon Targaryen, died in Hellgate Castle.

The ballista on the wall just hit the dragon's most vulnerable eye, causing it to fall to its death.

Such a ballista, Samwell didn't want to be shot.

Still have to be steady!

Samwell recalled his principles of warfare.

If you don't go east, the only option left is to go north.

To the north of Sandstone City is Tianji City.

Tianji City is the southern gate of the Prince's Pass, and it is also the place where the first army under the Iron Throne must pass.

Calculating the time, the first army should have started attacking Tianji City long ago, and it might have already been captured.

If this is the case, why not go to Tianji City to have a look, maybe you can join the first army.

Thinking of this, Samwell raised his head and said:

"Let's go to Tianji City."

—————————

The sky and the city.

Count Quentin Kogel was circling the room anxiously.

It wasn't until the "Red Viper" Prince Oberyn walked in that he rushed to meet him, saying:

"Your Highness! I just got the news that a river bay cavalry has occupied Sandstone City, and they killed my eldest son! Sorry, Your Highness, I have to go back, I have to go back!"

Prince Oberyn did not speak, but picked up the flagon on the table and poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one of the glasses to Earl Quentin.

But at this moment, Earl Quentin was in no mood to drink. He took the glass, but he didn't stop talking:

"Your Highness! I can leave half of the army for you, but I must take the other half back. Sandstone City cannot just be occupied by the people of Hewan!"

"Quentin." Prince Oberyn took a sip of his wine and said unhurriedly, "The real river bend army is outside Tianji City, not in Sandstone City. I can understand your grief, but please think about it carefully. Thinking, is it possible to occupy Sandstone City with just a few hundred cavalry?"

"Then I will watch them wreak havoc in my territory? And my son Gulian, I will avenge him!"

"Of course you want to take revenge. This is your right. But it's definitely not now. If I agree to your withdrawal now, what will the other lords think? There are also enemy cavalry in their territory. If they all come to ask me to withdraw, What about the sky and the city?

Once the army of the Iron Throne breaks through the Prince's Pass and enters the hinterland of Dorne, your castle will really be hard to escape.

So, you can't go. Nor can your army go. "

Earl Quentin clenched his wine glass tightly with both hands, obviously very upset.

Before he could speak again, Prince Oberyn put his hand on his shoulder and said again:

"Quentin, we grew up together, and Sandstone City is my second home. Don't I feel sad now that she has fallen into the hands of the River Bend people? And, as you should know, my daughter Auba Ya is also in Sandstone City now, and I don’t know if she is alive or dead. I am as anxious as you, but our real enemy is here, and if we cannot defend the sky and the city, the entire western part of Dorne will be exposed to the Iron Throne. Don't you understand?"

"I understand..." Earl Quentin said with difficulty.

"You also have a young son. I think it's called Aaron, right?"

"Yes."

"Let him be my servant and stay by my side. I will personally teach him how to kill people, how to command an army, and how to become a qualified lord. When he becomes an adult, I will also personally seal him as a knight."

Earl Quentin's eyes flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, he finally drank the wine in his glass and said:

"Good! Oberyn, I give you my last son!"

Prince Oberyn showed a satisfied smile and was about to say something more when he heard a knock on the door.

"What's up?"

The guard reported loudly outside the door:

"His Royal Highness! The army of the Iron Throne has begun to attack!"

—————————

As the southern gate of Prince's Pass, Tianji City guards the key road leading from the river bend to Dorne, so it is no longer just a city, but a military fortress.

It stands high above the crimson mountain range and is integrated with the rolling hills, like a huge eagle with its wings spread out, looking down at the vast land around it.

Its majesty is not something anyone dares to offend easily.

Since the birth of Tianji City, countless warriors have fallen under it. Their courage, faith and blood have been continuously poured on its tall city wall, making it more indestructible.

Now, this Dorne city has finally ushered in another challenger.

"In three days, I will conquer it!" King Joffrey stood under the city in high spirits and declared confidently.

"No one can capture Sky and City within three days, not even Aegon Targaryen who owns a dragon." Duke Eddard reminded blankly.

"That's how stupid he is!" Joffrey ordered, drawing his longsword, waving it in the air, "Attack! Attack!"

Then the dull horn sounded, and the siege battle finally kicked off.

The densely packed soldiers of the First Route Army launched a charge against the arrows, rolling stones, and hot oil that fell like a torrential rain from the top of the city.

The sounds of fighting, screams, and shouts suddenly became the main theme between heaven and earth.

Blood is flowing, lives are disappearing, and this siege has entered the cruelest and bloodiest stage from the very beginning.

Although he had just experienced the siege of Wangzuocheng, compared with the current fierce battle situation, the battle of Wangzuocheng was simply a small fight.

After watching it for a while, Queen Mother Cersei felt some discomfort in her stomach, so she took her son's arm and said:

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the camp. Anyway, this battle won't be over for a while."

"No!" Joffrey refused his mother, his eyes gleaming with violence and excitement, "I want to see my army take it! Quick, quick! Fuck me! Fuck me!"
