Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 19 Lure the Enemy

  The setting sun slanted to the west, casting golden afterglow on the calm sea, and a few seagulls flew by, shattering the golden image on the water.

  But Samwell didn't care to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him. Seeing Todd who returned again, he asked:

   "The group of sentinels haven't been found yet?"

   "No." Todd looked equally ugly.

   "Where are the savages who attacked us, have you found their trace?"

"No. They don't confront us head-on. After the sneak attack, they just go into the mountains and forests. We are not familiar with the terrain, so we can't catch up." Todd gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to take ten more people to a place farther away. Find a place."

  Samwell was silent when he heard the words.

  Todd thought that the other party was unwilling, and a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart, and said:

   "My lord, I sent those sentries, I must get them back! Otherwise..."

   "I'm not trying to stop you from looking for people." Samwell explained, "I just want you to bring more people."

  Todd's expression softened slightly, he shook his head and said: "Ten people are enough, if there are more, I'm afraid the safety of the camp cannot be guaranteed."

  Samwell smiled slightly: "I just want those savages to think the same way."

   "What do you mean?" Todd froze for a moment.

"You were right before. I underestimated the malice of those savages. Now it seems that they will not easily communicate with us. If this is the case, then we must first show our power!" Speaking of this, Samway There was an undisguised killing intent in Er's eyes, "You take out all the soldiers of the Tyrell family, so that the wildlings will think that the camp is empty and come to attack. I will lead my men to hold them back. Block them all in the valley!"

  Todd stared at the young knight in front of him, and after a while he said in disbelief:

   "My lord, is this too risky? We don't even know how many savages have come..."

  Samwell said without fear: "A group of sneaky savages, what is there to be afraid of. If they really have the strength to confront us head-on, why do they keep attacking?"

  Todd still hesitated: "It's better to wait until we find out the number of savages, and then deal with it..."

   "How to investigate?" Samwell interrupted unceremoniously, "This is the Crimson Mountain Range, which is the territory of the savages. Our people can't even catch up with each other's shadows here."

Seeing that Todd was silent, Samwell said coldly again: "Don't hesitate, now is our best chance. Otherwise, after we have built the tower and surrounded the fence, we will resort to tricks to lure the enemy. The opponent may not dare to attack.

  At that time, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they will come and go without a trace, constantly harassing and attacking us. I am afraid we can only stay in the valley to ensure safety. If this goes on for a long time, the construction of the territory will be greatly affected, and the entire pioneering team will be panicked. Even slowly will be trapped in this valley!

  Therefore, we must seize the opportunity, take advantage of the precarious moment, deliberately show our flaws, lure the savages to attack, and then completely hurt them in one battle! "

  Todd pondered for a while, finally gritted his teeth and nodded:

   "Okay! Since you have such courage and trust me so much, my lord, I will definitely not let you down!"

   After finishing speaking, Todd slammed his right hand on his chest heavily, performed a knight salute solemnly, and then turned and left.

  Samwell turned to find Gavin, the attendant, and was about to give orders, but saw that the other party seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked:

"What's wrong?"

   Gavin lowered his voice: "My lord, if you arrange it this way, aren't you afraid that Todd Flowers will die instead of saving?"

  Samwell took a deep look at his young attendant and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Todd Flower is a smart man, and he won't do stupid things. What's more, the supplies and food are all here. If he sits and watches us be defeated by the savages, he will bring a hundred people without supplies. Can the soldier really escape from the Crimson Mountains? Even if he escapes, will the Tyrell family let him go?"

   Gavin hesitated for a moment, but persuaded again:

"My lord, I'm still a little worried. Even if Todd doesn't dare to stand by, will he deliberately delay and let us fight the savages with heavy losses? Why don't we change it and let Todd and his men defend in the valley, you personally Lead your troops out and come back after the battle begins.”

   Samwell shook his head:

   "You are all new recruits who have never been on a real battlefield. It is more suitable to stay in the valley and rely on defensive facilities to fight positional warfare. It is more appropriate to leave the complicated operation of pretending to go out and then come back to Todd and his group of veterans."

   Seeing that Gavin seemed to want to say more, Samwell interrupted directly:

   "Gavin, do you know what is the most taboo thing on the battlefield?"

   "My lord, what is it?"

"It's internal discord and mutual suspicion!" Samwell's face became extremely serious, "No matter what conflicts I have with Todd, we are comrades in arms on the same front when facing wildlings! If the arrangement is according to what you said , Todd will immediately sense my distrust of him, and before the war starts, he will let go of his momentum. And even if this battle is won, from now on, there will only be wariness between me and him and suspicion."

   "I see, my lord." Gavin lowered his head and said nothing more.

Samwell also slowed down his tone: "Well, go and tell the brothers that there may be wildlings attacking tonight, let them eat early and rest early, but don't remove their armor, keep all weapons at hand, and pay attention to the horn. In addition, Then go and call Vito."

"yes."

  In fact, there is another important reason why Samwell dared to trust Todd——

  Margaery had warned him in a letter before that he was not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, and Todd Flowers would follow his arrangements from now on.

   These words made Samwell keenly aware that Mrs. Olenna's attitude towards him might have changed.

  If Mrs. Olenna regarded him as a puppet that could be controlled before, then after killing people and gaining power, she should have changed her strategy and was willing to give him a chance.

  So, currently Todd can still be trusted.

  Of course, if Samwell's performance in the next territory development cannot satisfy her, Todd may jump out and compete for the dominance of the development team.

   Samwell firmly believed in this point, after all, the "Queen of Thorns" was not a soft-hearted woman.

   Therefore, this battle will be extremely critical for him.

   Similarly, it is also extremely critical for the recruits under him.

  For more than four months, Samwell has piled up equipment for them regardless of the cost, fed them meat every day, and personally led them to train. Now, it is finally time to test their quality.

  As long as they win this battle, these recruits will complete their transformation.

  Samwell will also officially have his own first batch of elite troops.

   As long as we win this battle...

   While thinking wildly, Gavin has already brought Vido over.

  Samwell calmed down, told Vido about his plan, and then began to discuss how to deploy defenses.

  The tower must have been too late to build, and even the fence was too late.

   Fortunately, in half a day in the afternoon, the craftsmen had built a small mound in the mouth of the valley on the basis of the original terrain.

   After reinforcement and arrangement, it is a suitable defensive position.

  The mouth of the valley was originally not wide, and only six or seven people could pass side by side. When Samwell led his troops to line up on the small hill, he would be able to take advantage of the location.

  After finalizing the plan, Samwell asked Vido to prepare some rolling stones and logs and pile them on the small mound.

  After the sun completely disappeared below the sea level, Todd also left the camp with his men.

  The artisans began to set up defensive positions, while Samwell and the soldiers went to bed early to recharge their batteries.

   Looking at the bright and vast starry sky, Samwell could not fall asleep.

  Hearing the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, the scenes before the crossing flashed in my mind. Although the time is not far from now, it seems like a world away.

  The night is dark, as if something is brewing and accumulating.
