Bab 176: Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Sand spawn
The cavalry tore through, leaving behind a field of Dornish corpses.
After rushing out of the camp, Samwell asked Lucas to lead the army to turn around and charge again.
He himself, on the other hand, immediately watched the battle from the sidelines.
With his current strength, the giant sword [Dawn] can only be swung twice at most before he becomes exhausted.
When he charged just now, he had already used it once and kept the remaining one just in case.
In fact, the current battlefield does not need him anymore.
The last charge killed most of the Dornishmen, and the rest were terrified.
They couldn't understand why the enemy descended suddenly like a ghost. Coupled with Samwell's flaming sword, the Dornish people thought it was divine punishment, and their morale was greatly reduced.
At this time, Lucas led the army to charge again, basically cleaning the battlefield and taking prisoners.
Some sporadic resistance could not change the overall situation at all.
Inevitably, some fish took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Lucas sent some cavalry to chase them, but in this vast desert, it was difficult to kill them all.
Only an hour later, the raid came to an end.
Samwell also put away [Dawn] and stopped posing.
"Brother, brother! We won!" Dickon shouted excitedly, rushing forward, "We won! Two hundred against four hundred! We have won a complete victory! What a miracle!"
Samway smiled reservedly, he wasn't too excited. After all, he had led seven hundred cavalry to defeat tens of thousands of troops in Starfall City back then. Compared with that, the one in front of him can only be regarded as a small fight.
The younger brother danced excitedly:
"It must be the blessing of the gods! Brother, your fire sword must have been blessed by the gods! They gave you infinite power to defeat the Dornishmen like piercing a pumpkin!
Oh! I really want to be a knight!
I really want to be a knight now!
Ah, brother, when I come of age, can you canonize me? "
Samwell managed to appease his overly excited younger brother. This guy actually wanted to make him a knight, what about Earl Randyll's old face?
But this battle was really beautiful, although there are certain luck factors in it, but Samwell feels that his command was also a great credit.
When Lucas came over to ask about the prisoners, Samwell said lightly:
"Ask the people in Sandstone City first. How many troops does the Qorgyle family have? And where exactly is their logistics transportation line? Ask a few more people, compare them, and confirm the authenticity of the information. "
" Okay"
"Oh, by the way, who is the commander of this cavalry team? "
"It's the eldest son of Earl Quentyn Qorgyle, Sir Gulian Qorgyle." "
"Bring him to me."
"My lord, Sir Gurion has been taken away by the Stranger. "
" Dead? "Samwell frowned slightly.
He wasn't afraid of any troubles when the heir of Sandstone City died in his hands. After all, he was killed on the battlefield openly, and the Qorgyle family would not record this as a death feud. It was just a pity that he lost a ransom.
Seeing this, Lucas thought that Samwell was angry, so he explained:
"My lord, the battlefield was too chaotic at that time, and we didn't pay attention to Sir Guloan. Someone saw that it was Shalia who stabbed him to death with a sword. "
"The Reach female mercenary? "
"Yes, she fought with great prowess and killed three enemies. "
"That's right." Samwell's eyes flickered, "It seems that she is very good at fighting ."
"Remarkably well. " Lucas nodded in recognition, and then frowned, as if realizing something.
"Okay, go and ask about the information." Samwell did not continue to ask but gave an order instead, and then said in an understatement, "After the question, all the prisoners will be killed."
"Yes."
Lucas nodded without surprise.
Soon, the information came out.
According to the captured Dorne knights, Earl Quentyn, the lord of Sandstone City, took his second son, Sir Arron, and three thousand soldiers to Skyreach City to support him, leaving his eldest son, Sir Gulian, to guard the territory.
At this time, there are only 500 infantry soldiers left in the city, so the lord urgently recruited 500 new soldiers before leaving.
As for the logistics route, the captured knights didn't know anything about it. I only knew that there was a transport team leaving from Sandstone City every ten days to Skyreach City.
After cross-comparing and confirming the authenticity of the information, Lucas led his men to kill all the prisoners.
Blood soon stained the dunes red.
Samwell was worried that the smell of blood would attract more pursuers, so he didn't stay here too long and ordered to leave after cleaning the battlefield.
The cavalry team travelled all the way south, and it was not until midnight that Samwell gave the order to stop and rest again.
The exhausted cavalrymen turned off their horses one after another and fell asleep like this with bloody smell all over their bodies.
Lucas led the sentry with three cavalrymen.
The sand sea in the middle of the night has a peculiar beauty. The undulating sand dunes were like the waves of the sea in the dark, stretching endlessly until the end of the world.
A round of silver moon like a scimitar slowly sinks westward, announcing that dawn is approaching.
Lucas, who was half asleep and half awake, was slightly startled by some noise, and when he looked up, he found that it was the reach female mercenary.
"I needed a break, my lord." Seeing Lucas turn his gaze, Shalia explained softly.
Lucas nodded silently, watching the figure disappear on the other side of the dune.
shhh
There was the sound of running water in the darkness.
Shalia squatted on the ground and took out something from her cloth bag.
A strange rustling sound came from her hands.
"What are you doing?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind, scaring Shalia so much that her heart missed half a beat.
She turned her head suddenly and saw two figures standing on the top of the dune, looking at her.
With the faint starlight, she recognized Samwell Caesar and Lucas Dayne.
"Master Caesar! you are so rude!" Shalia quickly lifted up her pants and said with a trace of shame and anger.
"You were the one who was rude." Samwell said coldly, "We took you in with good intentions, but you did some tricks behind our backs."
"I don't understand what you mean."
Samwell sneered: "Your hand What are you holding?"
Shalia raised her hand frankly and said, "Just now a scorpion emerged from the sand, so I caught it."
"Amazing." Samwell made a Thumbs up, "A man from Reach is better at playing with scorpions than Dorne."
"I'm a mercenary, and I often come to Dorne to perform missions, so I have some knowledge and precautions about the poison in the sand."
Saying that, Shalia threw the scorpion on the ground, then drew out her sword and stabbed it to death.
The scorpion made a squeaking sound, and black juice flowed out, moistening a small piece of sand.
Seeing this, Lucas said,
"I heard that the Qorgyle family is best at keeping scorpions."
"Of course." Shalia said naturally, "There are three black scorpions on their coat of arms. "
Lucas continued: "I also heard that the people of the Qorgyle family specially keep a kind of purple-tailed scorpion. The body fluid of this scorpion can't be smelled by humans, but to a well-trained hunting dog, it is a peculiar smell. A strong stimulus that allows them to follow the smell to the target."
"Really? There is such a magical scorpion." Shalia smiled reluctantly.
And she noticed that more than a dozen soldiers had surrounded her, blocking all the directions she can escape.
"Lady Shalia, you used this kind of scorpion to attract the Dornish cavalry, right?"
"You really misunderstood me." Shalia was still holding on, "If it was really me, what happened to the previous raid? How come the Dornish people have not noticed our approach?"
"That is the protection of the gods." Samwell said with emotion, "After the sandstorm, we have been tracking the Dornish people against the wind, and the smell was blown behind us by the wind, so the Dornish dogs naturally wouldn't notice anything."
"My lord, you really wronged me. I'm from Reach!" Shalia said earnestly.
"You have the face of a Reachmen. But there is indeed Dornish blood in your bones. Don't argue anymore, those Dornish captives have already confessed your true identity."
"Impossible!"
Shalia retorted reflexively.
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that she had been fooled.
The corners of Samwell's mouth turned up, and he said triumphantly: "Why are you so sure that it's impossible? only one person knows your true identity, the eldest son of Sandstone City who was killed by yourself? Tsk tsk, so ruthless, even willing to kill your own people even the heir of the distinguished Qorgyle family was not spared.
This also makes me suspect that your real identity is probably not simple."
Shalia bit her lip and stopped talking.
"Don't tell me? Then let me guess." Samwell said to himself, "You have a face from the Reach, and you said that your mother is from Old Town, which reminds me of a person, or more precisely, a 'sand snake'."
Shalia's eyes trembled.
Samwell continued: "You said your father was a mercenary, but I think he should be from Dorne, right? But you didn't lie, after all, the 'Red Viper' was indeed a mercenary.
Therefore, the multiple-choice questions he put in front of you back then should not be swords and tears, but spears and tears. You choose the spear.
right? Lady Obara Sand. "
Seeing that her identity was exposed, the eldest daughter of Prince Oberyn finally stopped pretending. She took a deep look at Samwell and said, "
Baron Caesar, you are really as smart as my father said. "
Samwell laughed loudly: "Thank you, for your compliment. So, Miss Obaya, lay down your arms, and we'll give you the treatment you deserve. "
" Good. "Obaya seemed to resign herself to her fate, untied the sword from her waist, and flung it casually. But the moment the long sword landed, the illegitimate daughter of the prince rushed forward.
Without the slightest hesitation, her vigorous body rushed towards Samwell like a cheetah.
Although the long sword had been dropped, two daggers had already appeared in her hand at some point.
There was a cold black light shining.
Obara felt that she had never been so fast before, her body almost formed an afterimage in the air.
Closer!
Closer!
Obara felt that as long as she put the dagger at the throat of this Baron, the situation would be completely change!
But at the same moment, Samwell moved.
Obara was fast, but he was faster.
The whole person seemed to be like a black lightning bolt.
Bang!
Obara's lower abdomen felt an impact.
Before she even had time to feel the pain, she realized that Samwell had grabbed her arm at some point.
Crack—
two crisp sounds and her arms were dislocated.
Obara's vision went dark from the belated sharp pain, and she passed out instantly.
Samwell groped for a while on the fallen Obara and took out a black animal skin bag.
When he opened it, he saw seven or eight black scorpions with purple tails inside.
He raised the bag at his vassal knight, and said with a smile:
"Lucas, dare to play a big game?"
