Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 79 Meeting

  Of course Samwell will not go to see some **** princess.

  He is in a very bad mood right now.

  He never thought that a Dorne princess would appear here.

   In this way, I am afraid that the original Starfall City will not be so easy to obtain.

  Arianne Martell would not allow the Dane family to be in the hands of a girl who was clearly inclined to the people of the River Bend, even if she was indeed the first heir to Starfall City.

   What's more, if Natalie's inheritance rights are to be true, there are indeed flaws.

what to do?

   Storming Starfall City?

  Samwell felt that he was not crazy yet.

Even though Starfall City's troops are indeed empty at this time, with Princess Dorn, the people inside will definitely not surrender easily. With just a few hundred people under him, if he wants to conquer the Dane family before the arrival of Dorn's reinforcements, A strong castle is just a dream come true.

   Retreat?

  Samwell was not reconciled.

  Although he won the previous battle, his territory was also destroyed, and his accumulation for more than half a year was burned.

  If he can't get compensation from Starfall City, he is really not reconciled.

   What's more, if he retreats this time, will Starfall City let it go?

  Especially the ambitious woman Arianne Martell is still here, she will most likely gather the army of the Dane family, or even the army of the nearby lords, and then attack Yingzui Island.

   When the time comes, how will he guard?

  So, instead of letting the flames of war spread to your own territory again, it is better to stick to this pier.

   It can not only block the way of the Dornish people's attack, but also take the opportunity to ask for help from High Court.

The Tyrell family might not be willing to send troops to defend Eagle Mouth Island before, but now, he has gained a foothold in the west of Dorne, a pier that can continuously transport troops, and holds Natalie Dane in his hand. With the key that could open the west of Dorne, he didn't believe the Tyrells would be unmoved.

  Since he made up his mind to stick to it and wait for help, Samwell ordered his soldiers to take over the entire pier, drive out all the civilians on the pier, and began to build fortifications to prepare for battle.

  After observing the terrain of the pier, Samwell found that if he wanted to stick to this place, he couldn't just guard the pier.

  The terrain of the pier is too low, and there is not enough strategic depth. If you only defend the pier, you will easily be pushed into the sea by the Dornishmen to feed the fish.

  So, he decisively expanded the defense line to the outside by two or three miles.

  This section is full of rugged rocks, and there is only one road to enter and exit, but then turn east and turn over a ridge to a flat sandy plain.

  So it is relatively simple to fortify, just block the only road leading to the pier west of the ridge.

   After his men dug trenches on the main road, erected earth barriers, demolished the wooden houses on the pier, and built several fences on the ridge, Samwell asked Hughes to reply to Princess Arianne—

  If you want to see him, yes, then come here by yourself.

   Hughes took the order to go, and soon came back, saying:

   "My lord, Her Royal Highness said that she has come and wants to see you."

  Samwell frowned, a little surprised at the courage of the Dorne princess.

  However, since the other party is really here, of course he wants to meet.

  If we can reach an agreement, then this battle can be avoided, and it is better not to fight.

  When he came to the first line of defense, Samwell saw a group of Dornishmen gathered on the opposite side from a distance.

  After he appeared, two figures on horseback came out of the Dornish people towards the ridge, and one of them should be a woman from the looks of her clothes.

  Seeing this, Samwell brought his attendant, Katu, and went up to meet him.

  The two sides met in the middle, separated by more than ten steps.

  Princess Arianne looked curiously at the Knight of the Reach, and found that he was completely different from what she had heard before.

  Of course, she had long felt that the rumors about Samwell Tarly she had heard before were all deliberately fabricated false news. How could a cowardly fat man abandoned by his father open up a territory in a place like the Crimson Mountains.

   Not to mention defeating the Dane family army led by Urik Shad.

  The young man in front of her is exactly what she imagined—

   Tall and handsome, exuding a high-spirited temperament all over his body, his gray eyes shone with confidence. Of course, if he looked carefully, he could find a hint of cunning.

   This is a difficult man to deal with.

  Arianne made a judgment immediately.

  Samwell is also looking at Princess Dorne in front of him.

She is indeed as beautiful as described in the book, her graceful figure is looming under the translucent silk dress, her olive-colored smooth skin glistens with health and vitality, and the smile on her charming face is as hot as the sunshine of Dorn, although It's not absolutely beautiful, but it has an inexplicable and strong attraction to men.

   "Knight of the River Bend, do you know that you are standing on the land of the Dornish people?" Arianne spoke with a lazy tone as if she was coquettish with her lover.

   This is a woman who is very good at using her charm to achieve her goals.

  Samwell was secretly vigilant, and said with a smile:

   "If I remember correctly, you Dornishmen attacked my territory first."

   "Your territory?" Princess Arianne chuckled, "How did I hear that you haven't even built the castle yet?"

Samwell also smiled: "Your Royal Highness, we don't need to play this kind of jurisprudence game. Yingzui Island is the territory I developed, and it is full of my subjects and property. Now it is being ruined by Uric Shad Now, it’s not too much for me to come to Starfall City to ask for some compensation, right?”

  Princess Arianne stretched out her slender finger and pointed behind Samwell, saying:

   "Since you are here to ask for compensation, you have occupied the pier and built so many fortifications. What are you doing?"

"Of course it's to guard against you." Samwell didn't bother to waste time with this person, and simply said bluntly, "I have already negotiated with the Dane family on the matter of war compensation, but your appearance seems to have reignited the flames of war danger. How could I not be on guard."

   "Have you negotiated war compensation? Who did you talk to from the Dane family?"

   "Of course it is Miss Natalie Dane, daughter of Ashara Dane, the first heir of the Dane family."

Princess Arianne giggled when she heard the words, and her proud chest also surged: "Sir Caesar, are you mistaken, Miss Ashara of the Dane family committed suicide by jumping into the sea more than ten years ago. "

Samwell said in his heart that sure enough, the Martell family would not easily admit Natalie, but he still made the last effort: "She did jump into the sea, but she didn't die, and she left behind a daughter. If you don't believe it, you can ask some old people from the Dane family to identify it."

"How about this?" Princess Arianne suggested with a smile, "You ask that Miss Natalie to come back to Sunspear with me, and let my father confirm her identity. If it is true, then she can naturally inherit Starfall, and swear allegiance to my father."

   "It seems that our differences are a bit big." Samwell shrugged. Of course, he couldn't hand Natalie over to the Martell family.

   And he also understood that the woman in front of him would not bow her head easily.

  In the original book, Arianne was so ambitious that she wanted to support a queen to sit on the Iron Throne, so her father had to send someone to arrest her to prevent her from causing trouble outside.

  Prince Doran had to resort to coercive means if he wanted her to be obedient. How could Samwell, a man from the River Bay, use words to impress this woman?

  So, Samwell didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Then speak with a sword."

   "You are very confident, Sir Caesar." Arianne stared into Samwell's eyes with burning eyes, "I hope you can always maintain it."

   "Thank you for your blessing." Samwell saluted very gentlemanly, "I also hope that you can always maintain your current beauty. You must know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and beautiful things are as fragile as porcelain bottles."

  Princess Arianne suddenly withdrew her smile, and her voice was no longer charming, it was as hard as gravel in the mountains:

   "Then take a good look. Is the one standing in front of you a porcelain vase that will shatter when you touch it, or Martel who will never bend, destroy, or yield!"

  After saying this, Arianne turned and left.

   "Daemon Sand!" Princess Arianne ordered as soon as she returned,

"Immediately send a letter to High Hidden City, Bremen City, Tianzhi City, Sandstone City, King's Tomb City, Hellgate Castle... to all the lords in the west of Dorne, telling them that the people of the Reach have set foot on our land. I, Aya Lynn Martell, in the name of the Fiery Sun's Halberd, demands that they immediately send troops to support Starfall City!"
