The Turbulent River originates from the eastern foothills of the Red Mountains, goes southwest, and finally merges into the Summer Sea.

As the name suggests, this river is famous for its fast flow. However, near Gaoyin City, the river suddenly widens and the flow becomes relatively gentle.

As the largest city in the Turbulent River Basin second only to 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 learned that the main line of the Dane family was severed, he immediately sent his eldest son, Gerald Dane, to Starfall City.

Ambition is obvious.

It was just dawning in the morning, and the guards in the castle had just changed their shifts.

The captain of the guard looked at the sparsely populated street in front of him and wondered to himself, could it be that everyone is sleeping in today?

But at this moment, a motorcade appeared in sight.

"Stop! What do you do?"

Seeing the motorcade heading straight towards the castle, the guards quickly stepped forward to stop it.

"Sir, we are transporting food."

"Food?" There was doubt in the guard captain's eyes, but when he saw the leader, he immediately recognized him, "Isn't this Lord Urric's squire, Sir Hughes Dayne?"

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

"Haha, Hughes, your master died in battle on Yingzui Island, how come you have the nerve to come back?"

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

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

The captain of the guard sneered, but he did not embarrass the young man. After all, he was also a member of the Dane family.

He led people to carefully inspect the convoy, and after finding nothing abnormal, 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?"

"Sir, the axle is broken..."

"Hurry up and fix it!" the guard captain urged impatiently.

But as soon as he turned his head, the dozen or so people who were transporting grain suddenly dispersed and ran out, not even using the bullock cart.

"Hello? Aren't you repairing cars? Why are you running?"

The guards were so stunned that they forgot to catch up.

Seeing that the group of people had disappeared, the guards felt strange when they suddenly felt the ground begin to tremble.

He turned around suddenly and saw a black line suddenly appearing on the western horizon, spreading towards Gaoyin City like ink!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the guard captain roared at the top of his lungs, "Quickly, enter the castle quickly and close the iron gate!"

However, at this time, the guards were shocked to find that all the grain trucks abandoned by the weird guys just now were blocked in the doorway!

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

However, the enemy's cavalry had already swept in like a whirlwind and would not give them enough time.

In desperation, the guards had to abandon the grain truck, enter the castle directly, and start to open the gate.

boom!

The heavy iron gate fell with a crash, but was stuck by the grain truck below, leaving a gap under the gate.

It's a gap, but it's big enough for someone to crawl in on all fours.

Of course, riding a horse will definitely not make it through.

So, this group of cavalry stopped in front of the city gate and waited patiently for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

The guards in the castle were all frightened when they saw the large army rushing towards them in the distance and the city gate that could not be closed tightly.

It took a long time before someone finally reacted and stumbled over to report to Viscount Pallon.

"Enemy attack?" Viscount Pallon was frightened when he heard the news, because he knew that almost all the combatable soldiers that could be recruited in Gaoyin City had been taken to Starfall City by his son Jero.

Now there are only the last thirty guards left under his command.

How to fight this?

"Hurry! Close the iron gate quickly!"

"Sir, the gate can't be closed!" the guard explained with a sullen expression, "There was a grain transport team just piling up the grain trucks in the doorway. We didn't have time to move them away, and as a result... they were stuck."

"What! You idiots! Idiots!"

Viscount Pallon turned blue with anger.

In fact, if we can defend the city, there is still hope that we can hold on until our son returns to help, but now...

no!

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

Viscount Pallon forced himself to calm down, stood up and ran outside.

"Master? Master, where are you going?" The guard stupidly called from behind.

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

"Hurry! The people from Hebang are coming to attack Gaoyin City! Be the fastest flying bird you can be and send this news to Starfall City!"

"Yes, sir."

The maester quickly wrote the letter in the simplest possible terms on paper, tied it to a raven's leg, and threw it out of the window.

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

But the next moment, a falcon flew straight towards the raven like an arrow off its string.

"Seven Gods!" Viscount Pallon watched helplessly as the raven was captured by the falcon, and his body suddenly collapsed to the ground.

When the bachelor saw this scene, he also frowned in surprise.

Is this the will of the gods?

However, he did not panic.

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

If Gaoyin City changes its owner, he will be loyal to the new owner again.

These are the rules of the academy.

Thumb thump thump——

The sound of rapid footsteps became increasingly clear, as if death was approaching.

Finally, the murderous Riverbend soldiers found Viscount Pallon.

"I surrender." Viscount Pallon said simply, "I request an interview with your lord."

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

"Lord Randyll, it turns out it's you." Viscount Pallone obviously knew Randyll Tarly, and then he showed an expression that should be so.

However, what surprised him was that Earl Landau 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 Pallon, do you recognize this lady?"

"You must be Sir Caesar, right?" Viscount Pallone did not look at the girl, but stared at Samwell and asked.

"That's right." Samwell nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up Natalie who was shrinking behind him, "Viscount Pallone, it's your turn to answer my question."

Viscount Pallon then turned his attention to Natalie, and then he was taken aback.

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

Viscount Pallon initially sneered at this, but now that he saw with his own eyes a girl who was almost the same model as the Miss Ashara in his memory, he finally believed that his son's words were true.

But believing does not mean admitting.

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

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

He winked at Hughes Dane behind Natalie.

Hughes immediately understood, took a step forward and said:

"Viscount Pallone, this is Miss Ashara Dayne's daughter, Natalie Dayne."

Viscount Pallon already knew what Samwell was playing, but he still frowned and said angrily: "Hughes Dayne! You traitor! Why do you say she is Miss Ashara's daughter? Ya

Miss Shara is already dead!"

"No, Miss Ashara is not dead." Hughes said seriously, "I, as well as hundreds of soldiers from Starfall City, all saw her on Yingzui Island with our own eyes."

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

Samwell interrupted Viscount Pallone with a slap, and then said: "Now that Viscount Pallone is ill, Lausius Dane, you will temporarily serve as the acting city lord of Gaoyin City and manage the city. Miss Natalie will take over in the future.

With the help of the Earl of Starfall City, let’s discuss the ownership of the Viscount title of Gaoyin City.”

Hearing this, Viscount Pallon almost couldn't help but curse.

But after seeing those soldiers who were eyeing them eagerly, the Viscount wisely chose to endure it.

When my son and my army come back...
