Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 89 High Hidden City

  The Turbulent River starts from the eastern foot of the Crimson Mountains, goes southwest, and finally flows into the Sea of ​​Summer.

  As the name suggests, this river is famous for its fast water flow. However, near Gaoyin City, the river channel suddenly widened, and the water flow became relatively gentle.

  As the second largest city in the Turbulent River Basin after Starfall City, Gaoyin City is also the territory of the Dane family.

  The current lord is Viscount Palon Dayne, but his blood relationship with the main line of Starfall City is already relatively distant.

  However, when he heard the news that the main line of the Dane family was cut off, he immediately sent his eldest son Jero Dane to Starfall City.

  Ambition is obvious.

  It was just dawn in the morning, and the guards of the castle had just changed their shift.

  The captain of the guard looked at the sparsely populated street in front of him, and thought to himself, could everyone be sleeping in late today?

   But at this moment, a convoy appeared in sight.

   "Stop! What are you doing?"

  Seeing the convoy heading straight for the castle, the guards hurried forward to stop it.

   "My lord, we are delivering food."

   "Food?" The captain of the guards had doubts in his eyes, but when he saw the leader, he immediately recognized him, "Isn't this Lord Uric's attendant, Sir Hughes Dayne?"

  Hughes lowered his head in shame: "My lord, I'm not a knight yet, so you don't need to call me Sir..."

   "Hehe, Hughes, your master died in battle on Yingzui Island, how dare you come back?"

   "I..." Hughes seemed even more ashamed, "Master Zero sent me to deliver food..."

  From the former city lord's attendant to the current grain transportation captain, this guy is really miserable, but he deserves it. If he was him, he should have died in Yingzui Island with his master.

  The captain of the guard sneered, but he didn't embarrass the young man, after all, the other party was also from the Dane family.

  He took someone to check the convoy carefully, and after finding nothing unusual, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go in."

   Hughes thanked him and walked into the castle.

  But just as the convoy entered the doorway, there was a sudden click.

"what happened?"

   "My lord, the axle is broken..."

   "Fix it quickly!" The captain of the guard urged impatiently.

  But as soon as he turned his head, the dozen or so people transporting the food suddenly dispersed in a rush, and ran out without even wanting the ox cart.

   "Hello? Aren't you repairing cars? What are you running for?"

   The guards were stunned and forgot to chase.

  Seeing that the group of people ran away and disappeared, the guards were feeling strange, but suddenly felt the ground tremble.

  He turned his head suddenly, and saw a black line suddenly appearing on the western horizon, spreading towards Gaoyin City as quickly as ink!

   "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The captain of the guard roared hoarsely, "Quickly, quickly enter the castle and close the iron gate!"

  However, at this time, the guards were shocked to find that all the grain trucks left by those weird guys just now were blocked in the door opening!

   Now they were in a hurry to move these grain trucks out.

  However, the enemy's cavalry has been swept by like a whirlwind, and they will not be given enough time at all.

   In desperation, the guards had no choice but to give up the grain truck, directly entered the castle, and began to release the gates.

  Boom!

  The heavy iron gate crashed down, but was stuck by the grain truck below, leaving a gap under the gate.

   It is said to be a gap, but it is enough for people to crawl in.

   Of course, riding a horse is definitely difficult.

  So, this team of cavalry stopped in front of the city gate, waiting patiently for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

  The guards in the castle looked at the large army rushing in from a distance, and the city gate that was not closed tightly by their own side, they were all frightened stupid.

   After a long time, someone finally came to his senses and stumbled to report to Viscount Palong.

"Enemy attack?" Viscount Palong was also very frightened when he heard the news, because he knew that almost all the combatable soldiers that could be recruited in Gaoyin City were taken to Starfall City by his son Jie Luo. Now there are only thirty or so guards left.

   How to fight this?

   "Quick! Close the iron gate!"

   "Master, the gate can't be closed!" The guard explained with a sad face, "Just now a grain transport team piled up all the grain transport vehicles in the door opening, and we didn't have time to move them away, so...they got stuck."

   "What! You idiots! Idiots!"

   Viscount Palong turned blue with anger.

  In fact, if I can defend the city, I still hope that I can hold on until my son comes back to help me, but now...

no!

  Even if the castle is destined to be breached, the news must be sent!

  Viscount Palong forced himself to calm down, got up and ran outside.

   "Master? Where are you going, master?" The guard still shouted foolishly from behind.

  But Viscount Palong didn't even look back, he went straight to the bachelor and said anxiously:

   "Hurry up! The people of Hewan are coming to attack Gaoyin City! Let your fastest bird fly and send this news to Starfall City!"

   "Yes, my lord."

  The bachelor hurriedly wrote the letter in the shortest language on paper, tied it to a raven's leg, and threw it out the window.

  The raven flapped its wings a few times and quickly flew high into the sky.

  But the next moment, a falcon, like a sharp arrow off the string, charged straight at the raven.

   "Seven gods!" Viscount Palong watched the raven being captured by the falcon, and suddenly his body limp and collapsed to the ground.

  The bachelor frowned when he saw this scene.

   Is this the will of the gods?

   However, he did not panic.

   After all, bachelors have no political affiliation. They serve the castle, not the lord.

  If Gaoyin City changes its owner, he will renew his allegiance to the new owner.

   This is the rule of the school city.

   thump thump—

  The sound of hurried footsteps became more and more clear, as if death was approaching.

  Finally, the murderous Hewan soldiers found Viscount Palong.

   "I surrender." Viscount Palong said simply, "I request to meet your lord."

  The soldiers did not embarrass the lord of Gaoyin City, and brought him to Samwell and others.

   "Count Landau, so it's you." Viscount Pallon obviously knew Landau Tarly, and then he showed a reasonable expression.

  However, to his surprise, Earl Randall just glanced at him expressionlessly and said nothing.

   Instead, a young man next to him with a somewhat similar face stepped forward and said:

   "Viscount Palong, do you recognize this lady?"

   "You must be Sir Caesar, right?" Viscount Pallon asked Samwell instead of looking at the girl.

   "That's right." Samwell nodded, and stretched out his hand to pull out Natalie, who was always shrinking behind him, "Viscount Palon, it's time for you to answer my question."

   Viscount Palong then turned his gaze to Natalie, and he was taken aback.

  He immediately remembered the letter sent back by his son before, which said that Ashara Dayne, who jumped into the sea and committed suicide, was not dead and gave birth to a daughter.

  At first, Viscount Palong scoffed at this, but now that he saw the girl who was almost exactly the same as the Miss Ashara in his memory, he finally believed that his son's words should be true.

   But believing does not mean admitting.

   "Sorry, Sir Caesar, I don't know this lady."

   "Really." Samwell smiled slightly, as if he had expected this.

  He winked at Hughes Dayne behind Natalie.

  Hughes understood immediately, stepped forward and said:

   "Viscount Palong, this is Miss Ashara Dane's daughter, Natalie Dane."

Viscount Palong already knew what kind of tricks Samwell was playing, but he still stuck his neck and said angrily: "Hughes Dayne! You traitor! Why do you say she is the daughter of Miss Ashara? Miss Shara is dead long ago!"

   "No, Miss Ashara is not dead." Hughes said seriously, "I, as well as hundreds of fighters from Starfall City, saw her in Yingzui Island with my own eyes."

   "Impossible! You are spreading... ah!"

Samwell interrupted Viscount Palong with a slap, and then said: "Now that Viscount Palon is ill, you have Lauhus Dane as the acting lord of High Hidden City temporarily to manage this city. Miss Natalie will inherit the city in the future. The Earl of Starfall City, let's discuss the ownership of the title of Viscount of Gaoyin City."

  Hearing this, Viscount Palong almost couldn't hold back his curse.

  But after seeing those soldiers who were staring at them, the viscount wisely chose to endure.

   Waiting for my son and my army to come back...

   Viscount Palong thought fiercely.
