Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 9 Threats

   "Aren't we going yet, my lord?"

   "Wait, I sent Gavin to go shopping in town."

   "But didn't he just go there this morning?"

   "I didn't bring enough money in the morning, so I have to make another trip."

  Samwell responded casually, and then continued to look in the direction Gavin left, full of anticipation.

  Todd sighed helplessly, turned and left.

  After turning his back to Samwell, the **** suddenly flashed a coldness in his eyes.

   It was almost evening before Gavin returned again.

   "Master, I ran all over the market, and only bought the last two ghost grasses. I was blackmailed by that **** peddler, and I spent twenty silver stags!"

   "Just buy it." Samwell quickly took the ghost grass, but didn't care about the cost, but asked, "Did you ask where this grass comes from?"

"I asked, the peddler said that the ghost grass is only found in the Scarlet Mountains, and it is quite rare, so it is difficult to find. He bought it from an adventurer. I also found that adventurer. According to him, he These ghost grasses were obtained by killing a savage from the Wandering Crow Tribe."

   "Crimson Mountain Range...Wandering Crow Tribe..." Samwell chanted these two terms, suppressing the churning desire in his heart, then he got on his horse and ordered,

"Set off!"

  …

  The night was dark, and the camp of the pioneering team was silent.

  Samwell, who was sleeping soundly, felt a chill on his face, and woke up suddenly.

   Opening his eyes, he saw a figure in the darkness in his tent!

   "Shh—Lord Caesar, if you don't want this sword to accidentally cut your throat, then don't shout."

  Samwell took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

   After his eyes got used to the darkness, he finally saw the face in front of him clearly—

   It's Todd's knight's squire, Carter!

   "Carter, what do you want?"

  Carter smiled and said:

   "Master Caesar, I just want to tell you something."

"you say."

"Our speed is too slow! At this speed, when will we be able to reach the Crimson Mountains. So, from tomorrow, I hope you will stop wasting time training those **** recruits, and quickly march into the Crimson Mountains. When you get there, you There is no need to worry about savages or beasts, our more than one hundred brothers will naturally protect your safety."

  Samwell asked with a gloomy face:

   "Todd Flowers sent you here?"

  Carter didn't answer, but patted Samwell's face with the blade of the sword, saying:

   "Lord Caesar, do you agree with my proposal?"

  Samwell said coldly:

   "Do you know that as a commoner, it is a crime to threaten a nobleman with a sword?"

   "Noble? Hehe, all I know is that you are a waste abandoned by your family."

   "But I still have noble blood, and I am still a pioneer knight conferred by the Duke of Metz. How dare you kill me?"

"Master Knight, have you forgotten? We are not in the castle, but in the wilderness. I really killed you, and then announced that you were attacked and killed by wild men in the Crimson Mountains. Could it be that the Tully family Will you send someone to investigate?"

  Sam Well suddenly stopped talking.

   After a while, he seemed to be scared at last, and said in a muffled voice:

   "Okay, there will be no more training starting tomorrow, we're going full speed ahead."

"That's right." Carter smiled and retracted the long sword, "I have also seen these days that you are not as stupid as the rumors say, so you should understand that we are your guarantee of safety here. As for those recruits, hehe, we are really going to fall out, they can't stop us from charging. So, you'd better be more obedient, so that we can get along more harmoniously in the future."

  Samwell lowered his head and did not speak, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly in the dark.

  Carter didn't care, bowed and said:

   "Then, good night, my lord knight."

   After speaking, he turned and walked out of the tent.

  Leaving Samwell sitting still, unable to fall asleep again.

  …

   On the second day, Samwell did not conduct military training, but ordered to advance south at full speed early in the morning.

  Although the recruits were puzzled, they did not dare to question his order.

   On the third day, it was still the same.

   After three days in a row, the speed of the development team suddenly accelerated, and they had already reached the upper reaches of the Mijiu River.

  Late at night on the fourth day, everyone in the camp had already fallen asleep.

  Only Carter led three soldiers on duty at night.

   "Sir, at this speed, we will reach our destination soon, right?"

"Well, it's about two or three weeks." Carter sat on a big rock outside the camp, holding a weed in his mouth, "If it wasn't for that cowardly fat man who has been wasting time, we should have been in the middle of summer long ago." Catch fish from the coast and eat."

   "Why didn't that fat knight suddenly train those new recruits? Or did he think that more than a month of training was enough?" The subordinate asked suspiciously, as if he didn't know the reason for this change in the team.

  Carter pouted, but didn't tell the truth.

  He is not stupid, of course he dare not make public that he threatened a nobleman with a sword.

   "Why do you care so much? You can arrive early..." Carter stopped suddenly after speaking halfway.

   Then his face became serious:

   "Did you hear anything?"

   "There seems to be movement in the woods."

   "Yes, I heard that too."

   "Go and see."

  Carter stood up and walked over with his men.

  The four of them entered the woods and walked for a while in the direction of the sound.

  Carter stopped suddenly, and said to one of his subordinates:

   "Jamie, you go back alone. If we don't come back after ten minutes, you should wake up Lord Todd immediately."

"yes."

   Subsequently, Carter continued to move forward with two other men.

   After chasing for a while, Carter stopped again and said vigilantly:

   "Stop chasing, I suspect that the other party is deliberately seducing us."

   "My lord, shall we go back and wake up Lord Todd?"

   "No, it might just be bandits passing by. They dare not come out when they see the crowds in our camp. Let's go back and guard first to see if the other party will..."

   Before he finished speaking, the grass and trees not far away shook for a while, as if something was rushing through it.

  Carter had quick eyesight and quick hands, and threw the long sword over.

   Whoosh!

   "I hit it!" Carter clapped his hands confidently, and his body relaxed, "It looks like a rabbit."

   As he spoke, he walked over, ready to pick up his long sword and the spoils of war.

   But within a few steps, Carter suddenly felt a huge pull from his right foot!

  唰—

   Before the two subordinates could react, they turned around and saw that their chief had been hanged upside down from the tree.

  They woke up with a start, and quickly pulled out the long sword that had just been put away, and then saw a dozen figures appearing in the darkness, surrounding them.

  Carter struggled and shouted: "You two idiots, come and help me cut the rope!"

   Before the two of them could take any action, they heard a voice coming from the darkness:

   "Drop your weapon, or die!"

   "Samwell Caesar!" Carter immediately recognized the familiar voice, and shouted, "What do you want?"

  Samwell walked up to Carter and said with a smile:

   "I just want you to answer my question."

"what is the problem?"

   "I asked the question four days ago." Samwell grabbed Carter's hair and put the long sword at his throat. "What crime should a civilian threaten a noble with a sword?"

  Feeling the coldness of the long sword, Carter finally restrained his arrogance, and was about to confess first:

   "My lord...I was just joking with you..."

   "A joke? The laws of the kingdom are not a joke!"

  Carter finally panicked when he saw the undisguised killing intent in Samwell's eyes.

   At this moment, a voice came from afar again:

   "Lord Caesar! Please be merciful!"

   "Master Todd!" Carter was ecstatic when he heard this familiar voice, "Hurry up and save me!"

   "Todd Buddha Flower." Samwell looked at the figure running in the darkness with a smile, as if greeting a friend warmly.

   But at the same time, his right hand suddenly pulled down diagonally—

   Chi!

  The cold sword cut Carter's throat ruthlessly!
