71 Confidence

"Mrs. Nora, do you have anything to do with me?"

Just after finishing the training to the new recruits, Samwell asked while drinking the wine handed by the waiter.

Nora tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears and asked softly:

"Lord Caesar, I heard that the Dane family from Starfall City is about to attack Eagle Beak Island?"

"Yes." Samwell nodded, "The Wandering Crow Tribe is not my territory, so if you want to leave, I will not stop you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked forward.

Time was urgent, and he really didn't have the time to take care of these people from the Wandering Crow Tribe. They were not many in number anyway, so they could not be considered a big help.

Unexpectedly, Nora actually followed Samwell's footsteps and said:

"Sir, you misunderstood. You have always taken good care of the Youya Tribe. We will never forget this kindness. If there is trouble on Yingzui Island, we will not sit idly by and ignore it."

Samwell looked at the woman beside him in surprise, and his tone became solemn:

"Thank you to the Wandering Crow Tribe for lending a helping hand in times of crisis. I will keep it in my heart."

"This is what we should do. However, the old, weak, women and children of the tribe will evacuate to the villages outside the valley with the welfare home. I and the 185 warriors in the tribe will stay to help you defend the territory."

"Okay!" Samwell nodded, but saw that Nora was hesitant to speak.

He waited patiently for a moment, but Nora didn't say anything after all, bowed and turned around to leave.

Samwell stopped where he was and stared at Nora's back for a while, probably guessing what she was hesitating to say just now.

But since Nora didn't speak in the end, Samwell didn't intend to press.

Because he knew very well that even if Nora revealed her true identity now, it would be impossible to stop this war.

The illegitimate son from Starfall City would not give up his ambition for a woman who had been "dead" for more than ten years.

It is impossible for the soldiers of House Dain to lay down their swords because of an unidentified "Ashara Dain".

Of course, this does not mean that Ashara's identity is useless.

Just like Robert Baratheon was able to sit on the Iron Throne, it was definitely not because he had a trace of "true dragon blood" circulating in his body, but because he won the War of the Reavers.

But you can't deny the usefulness of this "true dragon's blood", because it greatly reduces the resistance of nobles loyal to the Targaryen royal family, allowing them to deceive themselves into not betraying their oaths - Robert is also a Targaryen.

, although technically only a quarter.

Similarly, although Ashara Dayne is of no use now, it will be different if Samwell wins this war.

The vassals and subjects of the Dane family would definitely not surrender to a river noble easily, but it would be different if it was Ashara.

They would swear allegiance to her with peace of mind. As for whether there was a guy named Caesar standing behind her, most people would choose to turn a blind eye.

But the premise of everything is that he must win this war!

After gathering his mood, Samwell continued to move forward. Along the way, he met the people who were busy preparing for the war, and they all saluted and greeted him.

Samwell also smiled and nodded to them. At the same time, he carefully observed the mental state of the people and found that there was not much panic on their faces.

It's right to think about it. These savages don't have much idea about the power of the Dane family. Instead, they are full of awe and confidence in their lords.

Perhaps in their view, the invincible Lord Caesar will definitely lead them to victory again.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that their lord was not as calm as he seemed.

Because Samwell knew very well that the Dane family's army was not the savages he had bullied before. Both the weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers were completely different.

What's more, the other party still has a numerical advantage.

In this kind of absolute headwind battle, apart from praying that Bachelor Coben's "gadgets" can have the expected effect, otherwise, if we fight normally, with the current strength of Yingzui Island, there is a high probability that it will not be able to defend it.

Of course, on the surface he still has to appear confident, otherwise people's hearts will be in chaos.

All the way to Maester Qyburn's cabin, Samwell smelled a strong smell of alcohol as soon as he opened the door.

"How's it going?" He tried to keep his tone calm.

"It's better than I expected." Bachelor Coburn said with a confident smile on his lips.

As he spoke, he threw a pair of typical Dornish armor on the ground.

The hot climate of the desert and the harsh sunlight made the Dornish people wear as little metal as possible to avoid being burned, so this armor is actually a pair of leather armor, with only steel in a few key positions and hooks.

Qyburn took out another bottle and poured the liquid inside onto the leather armor.

Finally, he took a few steps back and threw the candle over——

boom!

The leather armor was instantly covered in blue flames.

Samwell's eyes lit up, he immediately took off his coat, stepped forward and patted the burning leather armor.

The fire was much smaller visible to the naked eye, but it was not completely extinguished.

Moreover, the coat in Samwell's hand gradually caught fire and began to burn, so he had to throw it away.

After the beating stopped, the fire on the leather armor became strong again.

Samwell nodded with satisfaction and asked again:

"What about water?"

Cobain did not speak, but picked up a basin of water prepared on the table and poured it towards the leather armor.

Pfft——

Sparks flew and the fire became smaller, but soon it came back again.

Samwell piled sand on top again, and soon the fire was extinguished.

Bachelor Qburn said from the side: "As long as it is covered with sand or immersed in water, the fire will be extinguished. This is indeed not as good as a real wildfire."

In fact, Samwell was already very satisfied.

The degree of brandy is only 40 to 50 degrees, so it's certainly okay to ignite it, but it's not difficult to extinguish the fire. It's really annoying to use it against the enemy on the battlefield.

After Maester Qyburn added some "gadgets" to it, although this thing was not as good as the real "wildfire", it already made Samwell overjoyed.

This thing is not unbreakable, but the Dornish people will definitely not know how to break it when they encounter it for the first time. Even these rustics who have only seen low-alcohol wine will not associate wine with fire at all.

This gap in knowledge is enough to seal a victory!

"Very good! Bachelor Qoben, I need you to turn all the brandy in the territory into this kind of thing as quickly as possible!"

"All?" Coburn couldn't hide his surprise.

He knows how much brandy there is in the territory currently.

That was the production in the past three months, and was originally planned to be delivered to Qingting Island, Old Town, and the first batch of brandy for sale in High Court.

It's priceless.

"All!" Samwell gritted his teeth.

Although he felt sorry for the drinks, he did not dare to hold anything back in the face of a powerful enemy.

Otherwise, once he loses, he will have nothing.

"How long will it take you to finish?"

Cobain pondered for a moment: "About three or four days."

"Okay! If you need manpower, tell me, your task is now the first priority."

"Yes, sir."

Walking out of the hut, Samwell let out a sigh of relief.

With the castrated version of "Wildfire" produced by Maester Qyburn, he finally gained confidence in the upcoming war.

Of course, he also knew that his battle plan must also be changed accordingly.

"Gavin!" Samwell walked a few steps quickly and shouted to the young butler who was busy.
Chapter completed!
