Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

The earth is getting farther and farther away.

The wind in the ear is getting stronger and stronger, and the branches are like arms grabbing towards Samwell.

He closed his eyes, still being led by Cleopatra into a sea of ​​green.

puff--

Among the countless green leaves splashing up, Samwell had already rushed out of the forest on a white dragon, and saw the long-lost blue sky.

The sun hung high in the eastern sky, huge and bright, and the endless canopy was like an undulating sea, receding rapidly under his feet.

Samwell opened his arms to embrace the howling wind, and couldn't help laughing heartily.

Cleopatra felt her master's mood and neighed excitedly.

This was the first time he rode a white dragon, and it was also the first time he flew into the sky in this world.

It feels really good.

Samwell hugged the white dragon's slender neck tightly, trying to control it to fly according to his own will.

It wasn't easy, as Cleopatra could only understand a few commands, and when Samwell tried to give directions by poking the dragon's head, he failed repeatedly.

Then he tried to convey his will by changing the center of gravity of his body, or touching the white dragon's flanks with his feet, etc. With continuous attempts and adjustments, the tacit understanding of one person and one dragon gradually increased.

Samwell also finally tasted the fun of controlling a dragon.

But before he could enjoy this kind of fun enough, Cleopatra didn't have much strength, and began to descend with flapping wings.

puff--

The two rushed into the forest again.

A large herd of wild horses appeared below, they instinctively turned around and fled when they saw the white dragon.

But the black shadows falling from the sky still shrouded them. A wild horse was so frightened that it lost its front hoof and rolled over to the ground.

In the next second, Longyan devoured the poor animal.

Cleopatra also landed next to the charred horse carcass.

Samwell jumped off the white dragon's back, the heat between his legs was already scorching hot from Cleopatra's body.

The weeds on the ground were still burning, and the air was filled with the smell of thick smoke and burnt horse hair. Fortunately, each person and dragon were immune to smoke and fire, so they began to enjoy lunch.

Samwell tore off a few pieces of smoking meat from the horse corpse with his bare hands, and bit into it.

After filling his stomach and regaining some strength, Samwell rode the white dragon again, and was about to go back to find the army of the river bend.

But at this moment, he heard the faint sound of horseshoes coming from the north.

Samwell controlled the white dragon to fly over, and saw a long and narrow blue gap in the forest ahead.

Wende River?

Samwell was not familiar with the geography of this area, but he also knew that the longest and largest river in the Royal Forest was the Wende River, which flowed into Blackwater Bay from south to north.

At this time, there were two cavalrymen drinking their horses by the river.

Samwell didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that it was a Sentinel from the Stormlands, but after he saw the other party's golden lion banner on a red background, he realized that it was actually a member of the Lannister family.

The Lannister family actually sent troops to support the Stormlands?

Samwell immediately became alert.

But immediately, he felt that he was worrying too much.

Now that the main force of the Lannister family is confronting the Northern Alliance led by Duke Ed Stark, how could it be possible to send troops south to support the Stormlands.

Even if they come, it is estimated that it will be a small force.

So, he didn't care, just directed Cleopatra to dive over.

The wind blowing by the white dragon's huge wings attracted the attention of two cavalrymen.

When they saw the situation in the sky clearly, they hurriedly mounted their horses and fled in fright.

Samwell drove Cleopatra to chase leisurely in the air, and did not let the white dragon breathe fire, as if deliberately teasing the prey, or maybe he wanted to see where the two could take him .

The two poor western cavalrymen were already sweating profusely. The terrifying flying beasts in the sky made them extremely nervous. They also tried to take out their bows and arrows to fight back, but the white dragon was three or four hundred feet away from the ground. Already weak and weak, coupled with the strong dragon scale protection, it can't break the defense at all.

In desperation, the two cavalry could only run away sullenly.

But while running, the sitting horse couldn't take it anymore, and began to foam at the mouth.

Finally, with a loud roar from the white dragon, the two exhausted horses fell limply to the ground, throwing the cavalry on their backs away.

Samwell controlled the white dragon to land.

"Are you from King's Landing?" Samwell pulled out the dagger at his waist and walked slowly towards the two cavalrymen from the western region, without carrying any heavy weapons in order to reduce the burden on the white dragon.

The two Westerners did not answer, but almost simultaneously drew their long swords and rushed towards Samwell.

Samwell was not afraid at all, just saw the timing, suddenly accelerated, and almost crashed into the arms of a western cavalryman. The short knife in his hand accurately pierced the gap between the opponent's breastplate and arm armor, and chopped off his right arm. Down.

The shrill screams aroused bursts of flying birds.

Another western cavalryman was startled by his companion's howl, but before he could react, the long sword flew into the air, and then a huge force came from behind, and he was smashed into the mud.

Samwell unhurriedly disarmed the two, and then began to press for information.

At first, the Westlander refused to answer, but after Samwell started cutting his fingers, the two heroes who would rather die than submit were honest.

However, the information he got made Samwell frowned.

The Lannister family actually sent troops to help the Stormlands, and a lot of them came, nearly 60,000 people.

Where did they get so many soldiers?

Samwell's first reaction was that the two captives were deceiving him, so he cut off a few more fingers.

The people from the Western Territory wept and explained that it turned out that Kevan Lannister temporarily recruited 50,000 recruits from King's Landing. They were not trained, lacked weapons and equipment, and had extremely low combat effectiveness. Coupled with the 5,000 troops gathered by the royal nobles, this seemingly huge army came into being.

Only then did Samwell feel a little more reasonable.

But he certainly would not easily believe what the captive said, and he was not in a hurry to go back to join the army. Instead, he rode a white dragon and headed north along the Wende River.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how many soldiers the Lannister family had sent.

—————————

On the King's Road, Kevan Lannister stopped his horse and took a few sips from the water bottle from his attendant.

"Is the Wende River ahead?"

"Yes, my lord. After crossing the river, Tongmen City is not far away."

"It's not far, but at this marching speed, I'm afraid it will take several days." Kaifeng looked back at the chaotic marching team, frowning.

Although I hadn't expected much from this temporarily recruited army, I realized how difficult it was to make such an army travel long distances.

To change to a commander who doesn't have much experience and prestige, I am afraid that half of the 50,000 recruits will run away from King's Landing to Tongmen City.

Kefeng has also tried his best to maintain this army along the way, and finally the situation is still within an acceptable range, but what he is most worried about is another thing.

"Where is the River Bay army now?"

"We're almost at Fallen Wood City."

"So fast!" Kefeng was taken aback. "Didn't the Stormlanders boast that they wanted the Royal Forest to be the grave of the people of Hewan? Why are the people of Hewan almost crossing?"

"The Light Cavalry of the Storm has already dispatched a lot, but according to them, the commander of this river bend army is Lando Tarly. The goal of the Bay people should be Fallen Wood City, we still have plenty of time."

But Kevan was not comforted. What he was most worried about was meeting the army of the Riverbend on the way. This "army" conscripted from King's Landing was totally vulnerable in the wild.

"Tell Earl Fell that no matter what, the Riverbend people must be dragged under Luomu City for at least a week."

"Yes, my lord."

The servant left in response.

Kaifeng urged his horses and continued to move forward for a while, and then he saw the sparkling Wende River.

Just when he was about to rectify the army and arrange for crossing the river, he suddenly heard the knight around him exclaim:

"dragon!"

"Dragon?" Kai Feng froze for a moment, then looked up in astonishment.

In the next second, his pupils instantly shrank like needlepoints.

"Bowmen, shoot, shoot!" Kevan shouted.

But after shouting, Kevan realized his stupidity.

Where did the crossbowmen come from in the "army" behind him?

This is not a strong army in the western region, but a full-fledged army.

There were some crossbowmen in the 5,000 army of the king's nobles, but they were all sent out by him to maintain military discipline, and the crossbowmen did not form a large scale and could not exert any suppressive effect at all.

"Enter the forest to hide! Enter the forest to hide!" Kai Feng decisively issued a new order.

Only then did the soldiers wake up from the shock, and hurriedly left the King's Road and got into the woods on both sides.

Kaifeng also led the frightened horse and hid under a tall cypress tree.

"It's Caesar of Yingzui Island!" The knight beside him said in a tone of fear mixed with resentment.

Kefeng didn't speak, but stared fixedly at the one man and one dragon hovering in the sky, feeling extremely bad.

Fortunately, the white dragon was only hovering in the air, and did not dive down to attack. It must have been worried about an ambush below, and it was really not convenient for the army hiding in the forest to hunt. This young dragon did not have the ability to burn the forest.

"Isn't this dragon just hatched a few months ago? How did it grow so big?" Someone asked again.

"You have never raised a dragon, how do you know how fast it grows?"

"Idiot, you can't read books if you haven't raised them. The dragons of the Targaryen family usually have to grow for about ten years before they can be ridden."

"Is it the book of Bachelor Ba Xiu? That guy is a liar in my opinion!"

...

"Shut up!" Kevan shouted impatiently in a bad mood.

He summoned his attendants, speaking in a hurry:

"Immediately send people to Fallen Wood City, Bronze Gate City, and Hay Hall, and tell them that the people from Hewan have discovered my army. If they don't want this support army to be defeated halfway, they must stop the people from Hewan at least five times at all costs." day time!"

"Yes, my lord."

After the attendants left, Kevan raised his head with a gloomy face, and saw the white dragon passing across the King's Road, and finally headed south.

Soon it disappeared, leaving only the echoing dragon's cry and the faint smell of sulfur.
