Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 84 Counterattack

   “…presumably that’s the case.”

  On the pier, Earl Randall Tarly quietly listened to Samwell's narration, and stood motionless under the setting sun for a long while.

  Although in the past six months, he has heard many rumors about this son who was abandoned by him, every time he will feel surprised and relieved.

   But this time, his mood could no longer be described as surprise.

  If it weren’t for the fact that the fleet arrived at Yingzui Islet yesterday, saw the scorched earth there with his own eyes, and asked those who witnessed the battle, Earl Landau would have felt that his son was lying to him.

  However, it is true.

  My own son actually defeated the elite army of the Dane family, and even led the army to the land of Dorne.

   What an honor!

  This made Earl Randall even more convinced that he had made the right decision to expel the eldest son. If not, how could he stimulate the hunter blood hidden in him and force him to become a real Tully?

   Of course, his surname is no longer Tully.

   But it doesn't matter.

  In the eyes of Earl Landau, a Caesar who can expand his territory is far better than a cowardly and incompetent Tully.

   What's more, the Caesar family is after all a branch branched off from the Tully family. Even if this blood connection will become weaker in the future, it cannot be completely eliminated after all.

"You did very well."

   After a long time, Earl Landau finally spoke, with an extremely sad tone.

  Samwell was stunned upon hearing this.

  He suddenly realized that he seemed to be hearing his father's praise for the first time.

   Searching through the memory of the original owner, he has never heard similar words.

there has never been.

   I don't know if it was affected by the remaining emotions of the original owner, but Samwell was a little excited for a while.

  But soon, he calmed down and told himself not to forget the cold-blooded side of the cheap father in front of him.

  Of course, the grievances must be clear.

Now Samwell has also seen that the Tyrell family may not support him. That Mrs. Olenna must have other plans, or she doesn't want to have a conflict with Dorne at this time, and she is probably ready to give up. Yingzui Island is gone.

   Without the support of the Tully family, he would definitely suffer heavy losses this time, and even return to the state of having nothing.

  Therefore, Earl Landau's kindness for coming to support, he will definitely repay in the future.

   While pondering, Earl Randall said again: "There is also that Bachelor of Coben, who is a capable person. I didn't expect the Hightower family to value you so much. Remember to make good use of him."

   "Bachelor Coburn is indeed a capable person." Samwell explained with a smile, "However, he was not sent by the Hightower family, but he just happened to be expelled from the Academy City, and I ran into him."

   "Really?" Earl Randall had a mocking smile on his lips, "Is there such a coincidence?"

  Samwell froze.

  He suddenly realized that the timing of the appearance of Bachelor Qyburn was really too coincidental!

  Although in the original book, this person would indeed be expelled from the academy city for conducting immoral experiments, how could he be expelled just when he needed a bachelor?

   He was still expelled when he went to the "crazy girl" Moroya to consult about silver mining, as if he was afraid that he would not meet this person.

  Leighton Hightower!

  Samwell was taken aback, and finally realized that this was probably the arrangement of the old earl of the towering tower.

  He thought he was very careful, but he didn't expect to fall into the schemes of one big boss after another...

   "Don't worry too much." Earl Landau comforted, "The Hightower family may not have any malice towards you."

   "I see, father." Samwell put away his thoughts and nodded.

  At the same time, he also put away some of the pride he had always had as a time traveler, not daring to despise any big boss in this world anymore.

   Well, the person in front of him is also a big boss, especially on the battlefield.

  Samwell realized that this is really a rare and good opportunity to learn from the famous river bend general.

The set of "military theories" he created by himself is fine for bullying savages, and sometimes a flash of inspiration can defeat a powerful enemy, but he also knows that he still lacks a lot, let alone commanding thousands or even Tens of thousands of people have experience in large-scale combat.

  The one in front of him is the top military general in Hewan, and even the entire Westeros continent.

   "How should we fight next? What's your opinion?" Earl Landau asked after observing the battlefield.

   It seems that he wants to personally test this son who has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Father, I've been thinking about ways to break the situation these days." Samwell tried hard to clear his mind, and wanted his father to point out whether his plan was feasible, "Princess Arianne summoned nearly 20,000 troops to block us in this On the pier, although it was difficult for them to attack in, we could not fight out. The narrow mountain road ahead not only restricted the Dornish people, but also became a cage for us people of the Reach.

   Therefore, we must open up a new battlefield! "

  Earl Randall's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked, "How to open up a new battlefield?"

   "Through observation in the past few days, I found that among the Dorne army that came to support, Gaoyin City has the strongest troops. There are actually 3,000 people, and all of them are elite!"

   "Are you sure?" Earl Landau seemed to have understood Samwell's intentions, and immediately asked.

   "Sure!" Samwell nodded seriously.

  Earl Randall stared into his son's eyes, as if he wanted to confirm the accuracy of the information in this way.

   And Samwell naturally looked at him without fear.

   This is what he saw through the eyes of the falcon, clearly and clearly.

   After a while, Earl Landau spoke again:

   "You want to go upstream along the Turbulent River to attack Gaoyin City?"

   "That's right!" Samwell looked at Earl Randyll in surprise.

   As expected of a famous general in Hewan, the opponent immediately guessed his real purpose as soon as he started.

  Samwell can only be thankful that Earl Randall is on his side, otherwise, this kind of opponent who can always predict the enemy's opportunity is the most troublesome.

   "This is indeed a good idea." Earl Randall nodded approvingly, "The limit of the number of troops that can be mobilized in Gaoyin City is almost the same, so the city must be extremely empty now."

  Samwell smiled and said: "The blood of the Dane family in Starfall City is withered. As a branch, Gaoyin City can't sit still. It must be mobilized to fight for success, so that we can inherit Starfall City in the future."

   "Not bad. It seems that you have made great progress these days." Earl Randall looked at his son with softer eyes.

   "Father, you are flattering me." Samwell said modestly, and then said, "Since you agree with this plan, shall we divide our troops to attack Gaoyin City tomorrow?"

  Earl Randall shook his head slowly: "No hurry. Wait a few more days."

  Sam Well suddenly didn't understand: "Why?"

   "When we set off, I had already sent your brother to Liangshui City for help. If the Florens family is willing to send troops, they should arrive in a few days."

  Samwell immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words.

  His mother is the daughter of Earl Alister Florent. With this blood relationship, Brightwater City may indeed send troops to support him.

   It seems that my family is still reliable.

   Samwell made the same exclamation again.

   This also gave him a deeper understanding of why the nobles of this world value marriage so much.

  This kind of blood connection is indeed the best way to form an alliance.

Think about the Tyrell family in Highgarden. Their strength does not actually occupy an absolute advantage in the Reach, but after marrying the Redwyne family and the Hightower family, the Duke of Mace, the "inflatable fish lord", They can all sit firmly on the throne of the Governor of the River Bend and the guardian of the southern border.

   "Okay, let's wait a few more days. Father, you must be very tired after traveling all the way, why don't you go to bed early tonight."

   "No." Earl Randall shook his head again, raised his finger and pointed to the mountain road ahead, "The ridge up to the front is your lost line of defense, right?"

"Yes."

   "Since I'm here, of course I have to take them back, otherwise this place is too crowded."

  Samwell was stunned for a moment, and then asked in doubt: "Then there is no need to be in a hurry? Besides, your soldiers must be tired after traveling all the way?"

  The corners of Earl Randall's mouth turned up slightly: "No need. We arrived at Yingzui Island yesterday and rested there for a day and a night. The soldiers have almost recovered. Moreover, the Dornish people certainly did not expect us to launch a counterattack at this time."

  Samwell finally understood now.

  It was almost dusk now, and the Dornish people were usually ready to withdraw their troops and return to camp by this time, which was the most relaxed time, and they really didn't expect that the reinforcements from the river bend had just arrived, and they would launch a counterattack without taking any rest.

   "The most important ability on the battlefield..." Earl Landau taught his son earnestly, "It is to discover and grasp the opportunity of battle."

  —————

   Camp Dorn.

  Princess Arianne has just appeased the hearts of the people, and is entertaining the knights with the meat of the poor camel.

  Laughing and laughing in the tent, the atmosphere is relaxed.

  The morale, which had been slightly lowered by the news of the arrival of the reinforcements at the river bend, recovered again.

   After all, the Dornish army still has the upper hand in terms of numbers.

  While everyone was discussing how to attack tomorrow and how to suppress the arrogance of the Hewan people, the messengers rushed in in a panic.

  Princess Arianne frowned, and asked with some displeasure: "What's the matter?"

   "Your Highness, it's not good, the people of Hewan suddenly launched a counterattack!"

"What?"

  Arianne jumped up, and the camel meat on the plate was knocked over.
