Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Chapter 179 Prologue

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 becomes dim and monotonous again.

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

The original 200 cavalry, now there are only 140 cavalry left, which shows that the loss is still 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 terrible state.

The food and grass supplies of the frontline soldiers and horses may have to be borrowed from other lords.

Oh yes, the heirs of the Kogel family are all dead. I don’t know if Earl Quentin will withdraw his army 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 Weilt allowed the soldiers to light a fire, eat some hot food, and drink some wine—

Of course, not drunk.

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

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

Dickon Tarly was roasting the leg of lamb on the bonfire, and kept asking his brother how to use the powerful flame sword.

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

Fortunately, Dickon is easy to fool, he believes everything Samwell says.

When the leg of lamb began to drip, Dickon sprinkled it with spices from the Koggle castle and graciously passed it 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's the matter? Are you hungry?" Samwell teased the prince's illegitimate daughter, "But the captives will eat last, and I will leave some bones 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:

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

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

It took a long time for Obaya 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 used the power of the devil to master that sword. You are the son of the devil!"

"What are you talking about!" Dickon yelled, he couldn't accept that his adoring brother was insulted.

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, unwilling 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 illegitimate daughter of the prince actually gnawed the minced meat off the bone, she wasn't squeamish at all.

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

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

Samwell was lazily lying 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 has been overfulfilled this time, 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 looted, it is of little value to Samwell for the time being.

Since this is the case, can we go to other places?

To the west of Sandstone City is the direction they came from, to the south is the Summer Sea, and to the east is Prison Gate Fort, 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 "Red Viper", but even so, the soldiers under him suffered heavy losses.

If you try to attack the prison gate castle again, it may be very dangerous.

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

The ballista on the city wall just hit the most vulnerable eye of the dragon, causing it to fall to death.

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

Still have to be steady!

Samwell recalled his own combat principles.

If you don’t go east, you only have one option to go north.

To the north of Shashi City is Tianji City.

Tianji City is the southern gate of 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 even 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 circled 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 jug on the table and poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one of them to Earl Quentin.

But Earl Quentin didn't want to drink at this time. He took the glass, but his mouth didn't stop:

"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.

Without waiting for him to 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. Now that she has fallen into the hands of the people of the River Bend, don't I feel sad? And, you should also 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..." Count Quentin said in a difficult tone.

"You 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 **** 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:

"Okay! Oberyn, I will give you my last son!"

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

"What's up?"

The guards reported loudly outside the door:

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

—————

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

It sits high above the crimson mountain range and is integrated with the rolling hills, like a huge eagle with spread wings, 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 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 the sky and the city in three days, not even Aegon Targaryen who owns the dragon." Duke Eddard reminded with a blank expression.

"That's how stupid he is!" Joffrey drew out his sword, swung it in the air, and ordered, "Attack! Attack!"

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, life is disappearing, this siege has entered the most cruel and **** 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 nothing short of trivial.

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 end in a while."

"No!" Joffrey refused his mother, his eyes flashed with tyrannical excitement, "I want to see my army take it with my own eyes! Quick, quick! Fuck me! Fuck me!"
