Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

The Turbulent River starts from the eastern foot of the Crimson Mountains, goes southwest, and finally flows into the Sea of ​​Summer.

As the name suggests, this river is famous for its fast water flow. However, near Gaoyin City, the river channel suddenly widened, and the water flow became relatively gentle.

As the second largest city in the Turbulent River Basin after Starfall City, High Hidden City is also the territory of the Dane family.

The current lord is Viscount Palon Dayne, but his blood relationship with the main line of Starfall City is already relatively distant.

However, when he heard the news that the main line of the Dane family was cut off, he immediately sent his eldest son Jello Dane to Starfall City.

Ambition is obvious.

It was just dawn in the morning, and the guards of the castle had just changed their shift.

The captain of the guard looked at the sparsely populated street in front of him, and thought to himself, could everyone be sleeping late today?

But at this moment, a convoy appeared in sight.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Seeing the convoy heading straight for the castle, the guards hurried forward to stop it.

"My lord, we are transporting food."

"Food?" There was suspicion in the captain's eyes, but when he saw the leader, he immediately recognized him, "Isn't this Lord Urik's attendant, Sir Hughes Dayne?"

Hughes lowered his head in shame: "My lord, I'm not a knight yet, so you don't need to call me Sir..."

"Hehe, Hughes, your master died in battle on Yingzui Island, how come you have the nerve to come back?"

"I..." Hughes seemed even more ashamed, "Master Gero sent me to deliver food..."

From being the servant of the city lord back then to being the captain of the grain transporter today, this guy is really miserable, but he deserves it. If he was him, he should have died in Yingzui Island with his master.

The captain of the guard sneered, but he didn't embarrass the young man, after all, the other party was also from the Dane family.

He took someone to check the convoy carefully, and after finding nothing unusual, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Hughes thanked him and walked into the castle.

But just as the convoy entered the doorway, there was a sudden click.

"what happened?"

"My lord, the axle is broken..."

"Fix it quickly!" The captain of the guard urged impatiently.

But as soon as he turned his head, the dozen or so people transporting the food suddenly dispersed in a crowd, and ran out without even wanting the ox cart.

"Hello? Aren't you repairing cars? What are you running for?"

The guards were stunned and forgot to chase.

Seeing that the group of people had disappeared, the guards felt strange, but suddenly felt the ground tremble.

He suddenly turned his head, and saw a black line suddenly appearing on the western horizon, spreading towards Gaoyin City as quickly as ink!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The captain of the guard roared hoarsely, "Quickly, quickly enter the castle and close the iron gate!"

However, at this time, the guards were shocked to find that all the grain trucks left behind by those weird guys just now were blocked in the door opening!

Now they were in a hurry to move these grain trucks out.

However, the enemy's cavalry was already coming like a whirlwind, and they would not be given enough time.

In desperation, the guards had no choice but to give up the grain truck, directly entered the castle, and began to release the gates.

boom!

The heavy iron gate crashed down, but was stuck by the grain truck below, leaving a gap under the gate.

It is said to be a gap, but it is enough for people to crawl in.

Of course, riding a horse is definitely difficult.

So, the team of cavalry stopped in front of the city gate, waiting patiently for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

The guards in the castle saw the large army rushing towards them from a distance, and the city gate that was not tightly closed by their own side, they were all frightened stupid.

After a long time, someone finally came to his senses and stumbled to report to Viscount Palong.

"Enemy attack?" Viscount Palong was also very frightened when he heard the news, because he knew that almost all the combatable soldiers that could be recruited in Gaoyin City were taken to Starfall City by his son Jie Luo. Now there are only thirty or so guards left.

How to fight this?

"Quick! Close the iron gate!"

"Master, the gate can't be closed!" The guard explained with a sad face. "Just now, a grain transport team piled up all the grain transport vehicles in the door opening. We didn't have time to move them away, but...they got stuck."

"What! You idiots! Idiots!"

Viscount Palon turned blue with anger.

In fact, if we can defend the city, we still hope that we can persist until the moment when our son returns to help, but now...

no!

Even if the castle is destined to be breached, the news must be sent!

Viscount Palong forced himself to calm down, got up and ran outside.

"Master? Where are you going, master?" The guard still shouted foolishly from behind.

But Viscount Palong didn't even look back, he went straight to the bachelor and said anxiously:

"Quick! The Hewan people are here to attack Gaoyin City! Let your fastest bird fly and send this news to Starfall City!"

"Yes, my lord."

The maester hurriedly wrote the letter in the shortest language on paper, tied it to a raven's leg, and threw it out the window.

The raven flapped its wings a few times and quickly flew high into the sky.

But at the next moment, a falcon, like a sharp arrow off the string, shot straight at the raven.

"Seven gods!" Viscount Palong watched the raven being captured by the falcon, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the bachelor also frowned in surprise.

Is this the will of the gods?

However, he did not panic.

After all, bachelors have no political stance, and they serve the castle, not the lord.

If Gao Yin City changes its owner, he will renew his allegiance to the new owner.

This is the rule of the school city.

thump thump——

The hurried footsteps became more and more clear, as if death was approaching.

Finally, the murderous Riverbend soldiers found Viscount Palong.

"I surrender." Viscount Palong said bluntly, "I request to meet your lord."

The soldiers did not embarrass the lord of Gaoyin City, and brought him to Samwell and others.

"Count Landau, so it's you." Viscount Pallon obviously knew Landau Tarly, and then showed a reasonable expression.

However, to his surprise, Earl Randall just glanced at him expressionlessly and said nothing.

Instead, a young man next to him with a somewhat similar face stepped forward and said:

"Viscount Palong, do you recognize this young lady?"

"You should be Sir Caesar, right?" Viscount Pallon asked Samwell instead of looking at the girl.

"That's right." Samwell nodded, and stretched out his hand to pull out Natalie, who was always shrinking behind him. "Viscount Palon, it's your turn to answer my question."

Only then did Viscount Palong turn his gaze to Natalie, and he was taken aback.

He immediately remembered the letter sent back by his son, which said that Ashara Dayne, who committed suicide by jumping into the sea, did not die and gave birth to a daughter.

At first, Viscount Palong scoffed at this, but now that he saw the girl who was almost exactly the same as the Miss Ashara in his memory, he finally believed that his son's words should be true.

But believing doesn't mean admitting.

"I am sorry, Sir Caesar, but I do not know this lady."

"That's right." Samwell smiled slightly, as if he had expected this.

He winked at Hughes Dayne behind Natalie.

Hughes understood immediately, stepped forward and said:

"Viscount Palong, this is Miss Ashara Dane's daughter, Natalie Dane."

Viscount Palong already knew what kind of tricks Samwell was playing, but he still stuck his neck and said angrily: "Hughes Dayne! You traitor! Why do you say she is the daughter of Miss Ashara? Miss Shara is dead long ago!"

"No, Miss Ashara is not dead." Hughes said seriously, "I, as well as hundreds of fighters from Starfall City, saw her in Yingzui Island with my own eyes."

"Impossible! You are spreading... ah!"

Samwell interrupted Viscount Palong with a slap, and then said: "Now that Viscount Palon is ill, you have Lauhus Dane as the acting lord of High Hidden City temporarily to manage this city. Miss Natalie will inherit the city in the future. The Earl of Starfall City, let's discuss the ownership of the title of Viscount of Gaoyin City."

Hearing this, Viscount Palong almost couldn't hold back his curse.

But after seeing those soldiers who were staring at him like a tiger, the viscount wisely chose to forbear.

When my son and my army come back...

Viscount Palong thought fiercely.
