Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 78 Encounter

   "What? Urik lost?"

"Yes, it is…"

   "So possible? How did you lose?"

   "Fire! They used fire... fire everywhere! Our brothers... woo... all burned..."

   "There is also a warhammer... a flaming warhammer... that lord of the bay wields a flaming warhammer... smashing people into countless sparks at once..."

   "It's horrible...they are demons from hell! It's horrible!"

  …

  In the castle hall of the Dane family, several soldiers who had escaped from Yingzui Island by chance recounted their defeat incoherently.

  The Castle Master Alf listened with a gloomy face, trying to restore the truth of the matter from the chaotic and exaggerated narratives of several deserters.

   But this truth made him really unbelievable.

  The battle that I thought was foolproof, actually failed.

  The elite army of the Dane family lost to a pioneer knight who didn't even build a castle?

  Although Urik did not mobilize all the troops of the Dane family due to insufficient prestige, even so, Alf never thought that they would be defeated in a place like Yingzui Island.

  Gods of the Seven, this world is too crazy.

  The deserters were still gesticulating and yelling, telling about all the terrible experiences they had experienced in Yingzui Island.

   But Alf is no longer in the mood to listen.

  He only thinks about how to end it now.

  Urik Shad died as soon as his **** son died, but Starfall City can no longer be leaderless like this.

   It is necessary to determine an heir to the title, otherwise the hearts of the people will be scattered, and it is very likely that the enemy will take advantage of it.

Yes!

  Alf ​​stood up suddenly, and he immediately ordered the guards on the side:

   "Immediately mobilize people to the pier to prevent the people from Hewan from attacking..."

   Before he finished speaking, he saw a servant trotting in and reported:

   "Master Alf, Princess, Your Royal Highness is coming!"

   "Princess?" Alf froze for a moment, "Which princess?"

   "Princess Arianne."

  How did she come to Starfall City?

   Alf didn't have time to think about it, so he ran out to greet him.

  When I came to the gate of the castle, I saw that the princess and her party had already entered the iron gate, drinking water and washing their faces under the service of the servants.

  Alf ​​hurried forward to salute: "His Royal Highness, welcome to Starfall City."

  Arianne was returning the silk scarf after wiping her face to the maid, when she heard this she smiled and said:

   "I came in a hurry and didn't inform you in advance. I hope you don't mind."

   "Of course not, Your Highness. The gate of Starfall City is always open for you."

   "Where's Ser Ulric?"

  Alf's face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked unspeakable.

  Damon Shad frowned when he saw this: "Could it be that he has already gone to attack Yingzui Island?"

   "Lord Urik has indeed gone..." Alf felt extremely embarrassed.

   "When did you go?" Dimon asked unwillingly.

   "I went there early yesterday morning..."

   "Then he may not have captured Yingzui Island." Damon said anxiously, "Maybe we can rush there in time."

  Alf ​​coughed twice, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Your Royal Highness, Sir Damon, Lord Urik has been defeated."

   "We won so quickly..." Damon was halfway through speaking, before suddenly reacting, he suddenly turned his head to look at Manager Alf, "What did you say? Urik lost?"

  Arianne also stared back at Alf, her obsidian eyes unblinking.

   "Yes, Your Highness, how dare I deceive you. Soldiers have already escaped from Yingzui Island. They are in the hall, and you can interrogate them yourself."

   "Uric is a disgrace to the Dornish people!" Damon cursed viciously.

  Arianne's complexion remained unchanged. She took off the turban that protected her from the wind and sand, let her silky hair hang down naturally, and said calmly, "I want to personally interrogate those deserters. Chief Alf, please lead the way."

   "Your Highness, this way please."

   A group of people came to the castle hall, and Arianne interrogated the deserters who were already somewhat delirious.

   In the end, there was only one unbelievable fact—Urik really lost.

   And it was a big defeat!

   "Does that Riverbend Knight know fire magic?" Damon felt that there was only one explanation.

   Moreover, in words, the illegitimate son of God's Grace City could hardly hide his fear.

  Arianne remained calm. She first asked Alf to take all the deserters away, and then said:

  "The words of the deserters should not be trusted. In order to avoid punishment, or to make themselves appear less incompetent, they will always deliberately exaggerate the strength of the enemy."

  Damon nodded, but still reminded: "Your Highness, but Urik should indeed be defeated."

   "I know." Arianne took out a pomegranate from the plate on the table, peeled it, and said, "Master Alf, how many soldiers did Urik bring to attack Yingzui Island?"

   "About two thousand people." Alf replied respectfully.

   "Where's the knight?"

   "Twelve knights went out with the army."

  Arianne put a few pomegranate seeds into her mouth, and asked again: "There are far more vassal knights in the Dane family, right?"

  Alf ​​glanced at the princess carefully, and said: "Yes, Your Highness. Including the branch of Gaoyin City, there are thirty-five knights in the Dane family."

   Less than half, it seems that the illegitimate child's appeal is very limited.

  However, even if the Dane family didn't do their best, it still feels unbelievable to lose to a pioneer knight who didn't even build a castle.

  Arianne had some calculations in her heart, so she told the housekeeper:

   "Please send someone to notify all the knights of the Dane family who have not set out, tell them that I have arrived in Starfall City, and let them come to pay a visit immediately."

   "Yes, Your Highness." Alf hesitated, and then asked, "Your Highness, do you want to tell them the news of Urik's defeat?"

   "Tell them."

"yes."

  After the steward left, Daemon couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, why are you summoning the knights of the Dane family? Are you planning to attack Yingzui Island again?"

   "Exactly."

"But…"

   "Are you scared?" Arianne raised her eyebrows and interrupted.

   Facing the gaze cast by the beautiful Dorne princess, Daemon immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly:

   "Of course not!"

  —————

   "There's really nothing to be afraid of."

  Samwell supported Natalie and jumped off the boat, and said with a smile, "With me here, no one in Starfall City will dare to bully you!"

   "Yeah." Natalie nodded, but her little hand was holding Samwell's sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

  The Dornishmen on the pier looked at this group of Riverbenders and savages who suddenly appeared with curious and vigilant eyes.

   Fortunately, there are familiar faces like Hughes Dayne, otherwise, even if there is no conflict on the pier, I am afraid that someone will go to Starfall City to report.

  Samwell waved for Hughes and ordered:

   "Take some people to Starfall City first, tell the Dane family that Miss Natalie has returned, and ask them to come to the pier to welcome them.

  Remember, if they don't want to, you should immediately control the gate of the castle and send someone back to notify me, understand? "

   "Yes, my lord."

  After Hughes left with his people, Samwell continued to stay on the pier, waiting for his soldiers to land one after another.

  Although Natalie is now the first heir of the Dane family, Samwell will not be so foolish as to think that he can conquer Starfall City with such a little girl.

  No matter when, strength is always the support of everything.

  If the Dane family refused to give in, he was ready to fight another battle.

  After the previous defeat, the Dane family must not be able to organize too many troops to resist stubbornly.

   What's more, in such a short time, they have no time to mobilize the army.

   After waiting for about half an hour, Hughes finally returned, but his face was a little weird.

   "Lord Caesar, Miss Natalie, and Princess Arianne are in Starfall City right now."

   "Who?" Samwell froze for a moment.

   "Princess Arianne Martell." Hughes took a careful look at Samwell and continued, "His Royal Highness wants you and Miss Natalie to pay a visit."
