The setting sun casts a dim yellow light.

Samwell and his party had already rushed out of Sandstone City, and the endless sea of ​​sand spread out in front of them.

The world became dim and monotonous again.

Samwell slowed his horse and began to count the number of people.

Of the original two hundred cavalry, there were only one hundred and forty left, which shows that the loss was still considerable.

However, the results achieved were quite brilliant, and the raiding mission was overfulfilled.

They not only harassed the Kogel family's logistics and transportation routes, but also directly destroyed the other party's hometown, burning all the food and grass. Now Count Quentin Kogel is afraid that he will be in dire straits.

The food supplies for the frontline soldiers and horses may have to be borrowed from other lords.

Oh, yes, the heirs of the Kogel family are all dead. I wonder if Count Quentin will withdraw his troops in anger and come back to cause trouble for Samwell, the murderer.

The cavalry team went all the way north, away from Shashi City, and found a village with a water source to rest.

Tianji City is the southern gate of Prince's Pass, and it is also the place where the first army of the Iron Throne must pass.

Count Quentin clenched the wine glass with both hands, obviously feeling very unhappy.

As for Sandstone City, it cannot be captured and all the good stuff in it has been looted. It has little value to Samwell for the time being.

To the west of Sandstone City is the direction they came from, to the south is the Summer Sea, and to the east is Hellgate Castle, which is the territory of the Uller family.

"Let him be my squire and stay with me. I will personally teach him how to kill, how to command the army, and how to become a qualified lord. When he comes of age, I will also personally make him a knight."

Count Quentin's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he finally drank the wine in the glass and said:

Samwell didn't know how to answer this kind of question, so he could only make it up casually.

Blood is flowing, lives are disappearing, and this siege has entered the most brutal and bloody stage from the beginning.

What's more, Samwell remembered that Meraxes, one of the three dragons of "Conqueror" Aegon Targaryen, died in Hellgate Castle.

But soon, he gave up this idea.

Therefore, you can relax a little and let the soldiers adjust their tense emotions.

——————————

"Then I will watch them wreak havoc in my territory? And my son Gulian, I will avenge him!"

His harassment mission this time has been overfulfilled, and the Kogel family cannot send out any more logistics transport convoys, so there is no need for them to harass again.

It took a long time for Obaya to squeeze out a few words through her teeth: "The gods' mistake!"

"Quentin, we grew up together. Sandstone City is my second home. Now that I know that she fell into the hands of the Riverbend people, isn't it heartbreaking for me? Besides, you should also know that my daughter Oba

Ya is also in Sandstone City now, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. I am as anxious as you are, but our real enemy is here. If we cannot defend Tianji City, the entire western part of Dorne will be exposed to the Iron Throne's troops. Do you think this is the case?

Don’t you understand?”

It stands high on the Red Mountains and is integrated with the rolling hills. It looks like a huge eagle with its wings spread out, looking down at the vast land around it.

Fortunately, Dickon was easy to fool, and he would believe whatever Samwell said.

"You also have a little son. I remember his name is Yalong, right?"

But Count Quentin had no intention of drinking at this time. He took the wine glass and kept talking:

"Your Highness! I can leave half of the army to you, but I must take the other half back. Sandstone City cannot be occupied by the River Bend people like this!"

In this case, can we go somewhere else?

Prince Oberyn did not speak, but picked up the jug on the table, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one of the glasses to Count Quentin.

It might be very dangerous if we try to pursue the idea of ​​Hellgate Castle again.

Then the dull horn sound sounded, and the siege finally began.

"What did you say!" Dickon shouted. He could not accept that his idolized brother was being insulted.

Samwell took a bite and found it was spicy and strong. Satisfied, he gave his brother a thumbs up.

Samwell was not angry. He raised his hand to stop his excited brother and still smiled and said:

So, you can't leave. Your army can't leave either."

Samwell didn't bother to pay attention to her. After everyone finished eating, he threw a few bones to Obaya.

"What's up?"

"Either it's the devil's trick!" Obaya said bitterly, "Yes, you relied on the power of the devil to master the sword. You are the son of the devil!"

What to do next is indeed a good question.

Still have to be steady!

When the lamb leg began to drip with oil, Dickon sprinkled it with spices scavenged from the Kogel family castle, and then diligently delivered it to his brother.

The densely packed soldiers of the First Army launched a charge despite the arrows, rolling stones, and hot oil falling like a rainstorm from the top of the city.

The prince's illegitimate daughter actually chewed the meat off the bones without being squeamish at all.

As the southern gate of Prince's Pass, Tianji City guards the key route from the river bend to Dorne, so it is no longer simply a city, but a military fortress.

Samwell lay lazily beside the campfire and fell into deep thought after hearing the words.

"Miss Obaya, your logic is really strange. The Dane family uses [Dawn] to be the 'Sword of Dawn'. I also use [Dawn], and I use it better, but I become the son of the devil? Is that so?"

Doesn’t it mean that just being against you Dornish people means you are evil?”

"No one can capture Skyreach within three days, not even Aegon Targaryen with his dragon." Duke Eddard reminded expressionlessly.

Samwell was reminded of his own fighting principles.

"Yes."

Thinking of this, Samwell raised his head and said:

The ballista on the city wall just hit the dragon's most vulnerable eye, causing it to fall to death.

After these several victories, Samwell believed that the Dornish people in this area of ​​Sandstone City would no longer have the guts to trouble them again, unless Earl Quentin returned with his army.

Since the birth of Tianji City, countless warriors have fallen under it. Their courage, faith and blood have been continuously poured on its tall city wall, making it more indestructible.

The sounds of fighting, screams, and howls suddenly became the main theme of the world.

Now, this mighty city of Dorne finally welcomes another challenger.

There were actually many coincidences in his ability to capture Sandstone City this time, especially thanks to the divine assistance of the "Red Viper"'s illegitimate daughter, but even so, his soldiers suffered heavy losses.

It wasn't until the "Red Viper" Prince Oberyn walked in that he hurriedly greeted him and said:

"Your Highness! I just received news that a group of River Bend cavalry occupied Sandstone City, and they also killed my eldest son! I'm sorry, Your Highness, I must go back, I must go back!"

"Within three days, I will conquer it!" King Joffrey stood at the foot of the city with high spirits and declared confidently.

Heaven reaches the city.

If that's the case, then it's better to go to Tianji City and have a look, maybe you can join the first army.

While Dickon Tully was roasting the leg of lamb on the campfire, he kept asking his brother how to use the powerful flaming sword to slash.

"Of course you want revenge. This is your right. But not now. If I agree to your withdrawal now, what will the other lords think? There are also enemy cavalry in their territories. If they all come to me and ask me to withdraw their troops,

What to do with Tianji City?

Once the Iron Throne's army breaks through the Prince's Pass and enters the hinterland of Dorne, your castle will truly not be spared.

"I understand..." Count Quentin said in a difficult tone.

Before he could speak again, Prince Oberyn put his hand on his shoulder and said again:

"What? Are you hungry?" Samwell teased the prince's illegitimate daughter, "But the prisoner will be the last to eat, and I will leave a few bones for you to chew on."

Out of self-confidence, Samwell specifically allowed the soldiers to light a fire, eat something hot, and drink some wine——

"Sir, what are your plans next?"

——————————

Calculating the time, the first army should have started attacking Tianji City long ago, and may have already captured it.

"That's because he is too stupid!" Joffrey pulled out his sword, waved it in the air, and ordered, "Attack! Attack!"

"Quentin." Prince Oberyn took a sip of wine and said calmly, "The real Reach army is outside Tianji City, not in Sandstone City. I can understand your sadness, but please think about it carefully.

Think about it, is it possible to occupy Shashi City with just a few hundred cavalry?"

To the north of Shashi City is Tianji City.

Obaya ignored his teasing, just stared at the giant sword behind the man, and said in an incomprehensible tone:

"[Ling Ming] actually recognizes you as the master, this is really..."

"Okay! Oberyn, I will leave my last son to you!"

Of course, you can't get drunk.

Samwell didn't want to take a shot from such a ballista.
