Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 166 Arriving at Highgarden

  When Samwell bid farewell to the reluctant Natalie and returned to Yingzui Island, Mark Mullendoyle also left and returned.

   Sure enough, Viscount Martin of Highland City finally agreed to Samwell's new plan.

   After all, besides this, they have no better choice.

   Moreover, the High Court has officially issued a call-up order, and the Highland City just needs soldiers.

  After the two parties re-signed a contract, Samwell sent two hundred and seventy soldiers to fight for Highland City.

   Sending Sir Mark away, Samwell immediately found the craftsman leader Vido, and ordered:

   "Mr. Weiduo, the subsequent construction of Yingzui Island Wharf can start. Just use the plan you showed me before."

  Vido took a deep look at the young baron in front of him, nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I will follow your orders."

  After that, Samwell stayed in Yingzui Island for another three days, assigning tasks to his vassals and retainers.

  Among them, he released Qiman Huya, a mad dog, to attack the surrounding savage tribes.

   After all, he found a way to export mercenaries, so he no longer regarded more population as a burden, and Cheeman came in handy.

  This time he also specifically emphasized to Cheeman not to kill people indiscriminately, including the leader of the tribe.

  With the current strength of Yingzui Islet, those tribal leaders will not have any impact even if they keep them. Killing them will ruin their reputation.

  Samwell didn't want his title of "Baron of Terror" to really spread.

   In addition, he also solemnly asked Cheeman not to expand the army at will. Next time he came back and found that Cheeman's army had exceeded the limit of 500, he would not let him go easily.

  Cheman nodded without saying a word, but he didn't know if he really listened.

   Knight Lucas Dayne was left behind by Samwell, responsible for the defense of the territory, and always pay attention to the situation in the direction of Starfall City.

  After that, Samwell set off for Highgarden with his attendants Kathu and Todd Flower Knight, as well as five hundred soldiers.

  Although the war potential of Yingzui Island is far more than that, Samwell will definitely not give away all his belongings at once, especially this time he is still working for the Iron Throne.

  As a baron who has just owned a territory, being able to produce 500 soldiers is already a great respect for the conscript order of the lord, and no one can criticize it.

Now is not the time for him to exert his strength. Samwell will attack with all his strength at the right time after the Iron Throne has drained enough blood for Dawn to see if he can bite off a piece of fat from this weak beast. Meat.

  As long as the Dane family is still in the hands, Samwell can go straight to Dorne's heart at any time.

  Going to Gaoting this time, unlike the last time, you need to train recruits while walking. They marched at full speed and arrived smoothly in just over half a month.

  Looking at the gorgeous castle standing on the banks of the Mander River, Samwell felt a little embarrassed.

  The scene of accepting the pioneering order here last time is still vivid, as if it was yesterday.

   At this time, many lords who responded to the Duke of Metz's call-up order had already arrived. The Tyrell family set up a military camp outside the castle to house soldiers.

  Samwell arranged all his men in the barracks, told Ucha who accompanied him to lead the soldiers, and was in charge of daily training, and then entered the castle with his attendants Kathu and Todd Flowers.

  Passing through the garden maze and crossing the suspension bridge, Samwell saw Margaery Tyrell greet her at the gate of the city in person.

   "When I heard the news of your arrival, I came here and waited. Sam, it's really not easy to see you once." Margaery's tone was reproachful, but her face was filled with a bright smile.

She is wearing a dark green palace dress today, covered with a lace shawl, her soft brown hair is **** with a silver ribbon, and the sapphire necklace on her chest shines brightly in the sun, elegant and elegant at the same time. With a hint of playfulness and cuteness.

   "We just met in King's Landing." Samwell stepped forward and said.

   "You know what I'm talking about." Margaery rolled the baron's eyes, but she didn't bother him too much. She was always careful, "Kiss me, my knight."

  Samwell held the girl's slender hand and pressed a kiss between her fingers.

   Then Margaery naturally took Samwell's arm and led him forward: "Grandma has been talking to you for a long time, don't try to run this time."

   "Why would you want to run away. I've been looking forward to meeting Mrs. Olenna for a long time." Samwell seemed a little insincere.

  Margaery didn't expose it either, but instead asked about his experience when he came here and the situation of Yingzui Island.

   While chatting and laughing, the two came to a gazebo in the garden.

"Hey! Our champion knight is here!" Mrs. Olenna exaggeratedly called out, "Sam, how did you lose your fat! Teach my son when the time comes, so I won't have to look at him all day I'm bored with the big head and ears."

   Fortunately, the Duke of Mace is not here.

  Samwell stepped forward to salute the old lady respectfully, saying:

   "Ma'am, winter is coming, it's better to save some fat."

"Winter is coming?" Mrs. Olenna pointed to the chair opposite her, motioning for Samwell to sit down, "You went to King's Landing, why did you talk like a Stark? Why? By the charm of the King's Hand conquered?"

  Samwell sat down on the chair, thanked Margaret who poured tea for him, and then answered Mrs. Olenna's question:

"It has nothing to do with Lord Ed, the Hand of the King, but I feel the cold wind from the north, and I feel it. Madam, you should know that this summer has lasted for more than nine years. According to past experience, I am afraid that the next It's been a terrible long winter."

   "What are you worried about? Even in winter, there will be no shortage of food in the Reach. It is the northerners who should be really nervous."

"I'm worried about things beyond the Great Wall. I heard that many ancient races that should have been sleeping have appeared there. The savages outside the Great Wall are just about to move, and even the children of the forest have appeared. However, the Night Watchman Legion guarding the Great Wall is now They are all thieves, thieves, murderers and other guys who have no sense of honor, it is hard to imagine that the safety of the Seven Kingdoms is placed in the hands of these people."

   "You are so worried about the Great Wall, why didn't you become a night watchman when Ran Dao kicked you out of your house?"

  Samwell was so stunned that he had nothing to say, so he had to hold up his teacup to cover up his embarrassment.

  The husband of the "Queen of Thorns", Duke Ross Tyrell, was said to have accidentally fallen off a cliff and died while hunting, but Samwell suddenly felt that the old Duke might not be able to stand his wife's poisonous tongue and voluntarily jumped off...

  However, he also found out that Mrs. Olenna really doesn't care about the Great Wall.

  Actually, it is also understandable. After all, the river bend is so close to the south. Even if the Great Wall really falls, it will harm the northern border, rivers, valleys and other places. It will never be the turn of the river bend.

  It is impossible for House Tyrell to worry about the Wall.

  It's a pity that even with the wisdom of Mrs. Olenna, she couldn't foresee the appearance of the White Walkers.

   "Sam, why did you run out this time without getting married?" Mrs. Olenna suddenly took the topic in a weird direction.

   "Married?" Samwell was a little dumbfounded, "Where did I get married?"

  Mrs. Olenna curled her lips: "Don't you want to marry Natalie Dane? Otherwise, why didn't you marry the little girl from Florent's family before, but gave it to your younger brother?"

   "I..." Natalie's cute and innocent smile and that green and clumsy kiss immediately appeared in Samwell's mind, and then he suddenly lost his mind.

   "Now is the best time for you to marry Natalie." Mrs. Olenna became a little earnest, "I really don't know what you are hesitating about."

   "After all, I'm still young, and I haven't started thinking about such things." Samwell made an excuse casually.

   "Cheat the White Walker." Madam Olenna curled her lips in disdain, and then looked at the young baron in front of her with her small eyes, "Sam, tell me the truth, do you want to marry someone else?"

  I want to marry your granddaughter, will you agree?

  Samwell thought so, but what came to mind was Natalie, and that sweet and sour kiss, the little girl tasted like a midsummer strawberry.

  His hesitation and silence became another meaning in Lady Olenna's eyes: "Sam, you don't want to marry Princess Myrcella Baratheon, do you?"

   "Huh?" Samwell was stunned for a moment before he understood how Mrs. Olenna's brain circuit jumped.

   "Yes." Margaery also giggled and said, "Our champion knight has given all the wreaths and laurel crowns to Princess Myrcella."

   These words sound a bit sour.

Before Samwell could answer, Mrs. Olenna said: "I advise you not to be too ambitious, a princess is not something you, a baron, can imagine. Natalie Dane is already your best choice at present, marrying her , you are the unnamed King of the Rapid River."

  King of the rushing river?

  Samwell really felt that this title was not a good one, but on the surface he said respectfully: "I will seriously consider your suggestion."

  Madam Olenna stopped talking about this topic, and instead said:

"Margaery told me about the last trip to King's Landing, so I have to thank you. If it weren't for your persuasion, the two idiots Garland and Loras might drag the Tyrell family down. The vortex of political struggle."

   "You don't have to be polite, this is what I should do as a vassal of the Tyrell family."

"You don't have to be humble. Among the vassals of the Tyrell family, there are not many brains. Therefore, I will definitely not miss you as the reward that should be given." After speaking, Madam Olenna rushed to the station Todd Buddha, who was outside the gazebo, waved, "Todd, come here."

  After Todd came in to salute, Mrs. Olenna said again:

"Todd, it's a shame for you to follow me, an old guy who is half buried in the ground. Now, I will give you a chance to choose again. You can continue to follow me, or you can ask the promising eagle in front of you. Baron Zuiyu's allegiance. Choose yourself."

The expression on Todd Fohua's face changed for a while, and he couldn't help but flashed through his mind the scenes of following Samwell in the South and North Wars this year, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you for your kindness, old lady. I want to follow Lord Caesar !"

   "Okay, let's go." Mrs. Olenna waved her hand very simply.

  Todd immediately knelt in front of Samwell, raised his sword above his head, and swore allegiance loudly.

  Samwell took a serious look at the other party, and finally took the long sword and tapped it on his shoulder:

   "I accept your allegiance."

   As soon as the voice fell, the number of vassals on the attribute panel immediately changed to 3, and the column of "Charge" also became 3/100.
