Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Letter

Gnar just ate a few wild fruits, but still felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

  He leaned against the crimson rock and just wanted to close his eyes and sleep.

  "Get up! You lazybones! We are about to depart!"

  "won't we rest at noon today?" Gnar got up reluctantly.

  "Why won't we rest, we will soon arrive at Eagle Island. I heard that as long as we get there, the benevolent Lord Caesar will treat us warmly. There will be bread, barbecue, mushroom soup, all of them!"

Gnar was drooling , he got up and quickly walked a few steps to keep up with the team.

  As a refugee from Upland City, Gnar hadn't eaten a few full meals since he was a child. Therefore, after hearing the news that Eagle Island was accepting refugees, he joined a refugee migration team and set off.

  Although Eagle Island is deep in the Red Mountains, and Caesar, a surname that has never been heard, has no appeal, but for these refugees, the temptation to eat is extremely hard to resist.

  What's more, the recent glorious achievements of the Baron of Eagle Island have been reported one after another, which also gave the refugees more confidence.

  Especially for Gnar, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old who loves to dream, these stories are are his motivation.

  The boy approached the team leader again, and asked, " Does that Lord Caesar really know fire magic?"

" Yes , the Dornish people gathered around 100,000 troops, and finally, Lord Caesar waved his hands and burned them all!"

Gnar was fascinated by this story , his eyes glowing.

  At this time, another young refugee came over: "I heard that Lord Caesar has a flaming sword that can burn all enemies to death."

  "No, I heard that it is a flaming warhammer!"

  "What warhammer! It's obviously a sword!"

  ...

  "Stop arguing!" The leader raised his voice, "What do you know, Lord Caesar is the prince in the prophecy, and of course he is holding the Burning Sword."

"The prince of prophecy ? What is that?"

  "It is the reincarnation of the ancient hero Azor Ahai, who once held the burning sword [Lightbringer] and led the world to repel the demons from darkness and extreme cold..."

Before the team leader finish the story , they arrived outside the valley of Eagle Islet.

  The guards patrolling outside were not surprised when they saw the refugee's and seemed to have gotten used to it.

  He simply emphasized the rules in the territory to the refugees, and then led them into the valley.

  After crossing the heavily guarded valley, Gnar only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.

  The neat wooden houses, the busy crowd, and the tall castle that has not yet been completed made Gnar bend down unconsciously, and even his footsteps became much lighter.

  Going forward, Gnar saw an army with bright armor, hundreds of strong soldiers lined up neatly, holding scimitars, spears, round shields... training.

  And in front of the soldiers, stood a tall and handsome young man.

  "The one in front is Lord Caesar. You should pay attention later and don't talk nonsense."

  The words of the guard leading the way made Gnar's heart tremble, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the legendary prince who could use fire magic.

  "My lord, this is a new batch of refugees, one hundred and thirty-seven from Upland City ."

  "Okay." Samwell nodded. He came to the refugees, and observed them.

  Then he said loudly:

  "Since you have come to Eagle Island on your own initiative, as the lord here, I am willing to accept you as my subjects. From now on, I will give you food, clothes and shelter. In return, you must work for me, Even fight for me."

  "Thanks, Lord Baron!"

  "We are willing to fight for you!"

  "Thanks, Lord Caesar, for giving us food!"

  The refugees shouted in disorder, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to Samwell.

  Samwell calmed them down again, and then called the Steward, Gavin, to let him settle the refugees and assign them jobs.

  After doing all this, Samwell wanted to continue training recruits, but found a large ship slowly docking at the pier.

  Looking at the long sword falling star flag fluttering on the ship, Samwell shook his head with a smile, with a helpless expression, he walked over.

  When he got to the pier, he saw Natalie Dayne stepping off the boat in a purple dress and a wide sun hat.

  "Lady Natalie, do you regard Eagle Island as your home, why do you come here every now and then?"

  Faced with Samwell's teasing, Natalie pouted, but still walked quickly to the man , said angrily:

  "Lord Caesar, as a neighbor, I can't even pay a visit. And you said that we need to strengthen personnel exchanges between the two places to avoid conflicts again."

"Okay, you are right."

Samwell shrugged , stretched out his right hand for Natalie to hold.

  The two walked a few steps, and Natalie asked again: "Is my mother here?"

  "Your mother just came three days ago."

  "Oh, I just asked. In case she she was here."

  Samwell was speechless.

  "Wow, Sam, there are so many more people in your territory!" Natalie exclaimed in surprise, looking at the busy scene in front of her.

  "That's because my reputation has spread." Samwell raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

  Natalie nodded, as if she recognized the man's reputation, but then she frowned and asked,

" But Sam, these people from the Reach are the subjects of other lords, right? Will there be no problem if you accept them like this?"

  There is indeed a problem.

  Although the Duke Mace had already signed an order, agreeing to Samwell to gather the refugees of Highgarden, but that was only limited to Highgarden, and it did not mean that the refugees of the entire Reach were under his control.

  "What's the problem?" Samwell said in a relaxed tone, "These people came to my territory by themselves, and they didn't have a coat of arms engraved on their buttocks. How would I know who they belonged to? I thought they were savages from Red mountain ."

  Natalie said with a chuckle, "Beware of other lords coming to the door."

  "Let them come." Samwell said disdainfully, "As long as the people here are willing to go with their lord, I will never Stop them."

  Samwell said this with confidence.

  Because he really treated these refugees very well, taking care of food and housing, and getting work points.

  As long as these people are not stupid, they will definitely not want to go back to their original territory to beg and wander.

  As for the so-called jurisdictional dispute, Samwell pretended not to know anything anyway.

  He only knew that these people came from the mountains.

  What? You say they are your subjects?

  Then you call them and see if they agree.

  While speaking, he saw Bachelor Qyburn walking over quickly.

  "My lord, there is a letter from King's Landing."

  Samwell took the letter, glanced at it, and said with a smile,

  "Our Majesty is really planning to judge the 'Red Viper'."

  "Huh?" Natalie asked puzzled, "But Duke Jon himself has admitted Prince Oberyn's innocence."

  Samwell shook his head and said:

  "Duke Jon is willing to forgive the 'Red Viper', but that doesn't mean His Majesty is willing too. Well, I should prepare to go to King's Landing as his Majesty wants me to testify in court."

"Can I go?"

  Natalie asked quickly.

  "You can , you have to go. Starfall City should have received the letter, and you are also one of the witnesses." "

  Oh. Then I will go with you." Natalie smiled brightly.
