Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Return

  In the bright morning sun, the cargo ship slowly entered the port.

  Well, it was said to be a port, but was actually a trestle...

  But even in the face of such a shabby scene, Samwell was emotional-

  This was built from scratch by himself, bit by bit, brick by brick!

  Of course, those lovely investors also gave some help. Although it was insignificant, Samwell always remembered them—

  "Lord Caesar! Welcome home!"

  "Gavin! Haha, you have gained a lot of weight!" Samwell saw the steward of the territory standing in the front row of the welcoming team, opened his hands and gave him a bear hug.

  After hugging, Samwell pointed to the cargo ship behind him and said,

  "Arrange for someone to remove all the things on the ship. Remember, all of it ! Nothing should be missing!"

  "Yes, my lord! I'll arrange it right away. "

  Afterwards, Samwell exchanged greetings with his retainers one by one, and waved to the crowds.

  "My castle is finally built?" Samwell looked at the largest building standing majestically in the territory, with an excited smile on his face.

  "Yes, my lord. The castle has been completed nearly two months ago, and the furnishing is basically complete. You can move in at any time."

The craftsman chief Vido said with a smile.

  "Very good!" Samwell quickened his pace and happily began to inspect his castle.

  The height of this castle was hundreds of feet, with a double-headed eagle flag flying on a blue background waving on the top of the tower.

  Sea water was brought in from the outside of the city wall to make a moat. Samwell passed the suspension bridge on the river, then passed through the huge iron gate, and finally entered the interior of the castle.

  "My lord, this is your main castle. There are six floors, thirty-eight rooms inside, and two basements. In addition, there are three auxiliary castles, stables, warehouses, barracks, and gardens..."

Listening to Vido introduction , Samwell nodded with satisfaction.

  In fact, this castle is was not really majestic, completely incomparable to the Red keep he just left, and not as beautiful and elegant as the Highgarden he has seen, but Samwell still fell in love with her at first sight .

  After all, this is his first castle.

  Maybe he will have more, bigger and more majestic castles in the future, but this one has a special meaning to Samwell.

  "Is there no water source in the castle?" Samwell suddenly thought of a military problem, "Once under siege for a long time without water source, the defenders won't last long."

"Don't worry, my lord, we have considered this."

Vido said confidently Pointing to the roof, "Eagle Island is near the sea and the air is humid, so I installed a lot of water storage pipes on it, which can collect dew and rainwater, and then flow into the reservoir through the pipes. Generally, 700 people can use it freely , and if saveed can be supplied to thousands of people."

  Samwell nodded in satisfaction, and when he heard Vido say the number, he asked Gavin,

  "How many people does my territory have now?"

  "About 54,600 people." Gavin blurted out.

  "So many!" Samwell was a little surprised by the number.

  He remembered that the population of his territory had just exceeded the 10,000 mark before leaving, but after the Starfall City War, the Dayne family's war compensation clause mentioned that they would send 7,000 young men to work in Eagle Island, plus the Starfall City It is not allowed to prevent these Dorne young men from settling here. These people have basically been regarded by Samwell as his own subjects.

  In addition, there have always been refugees from Reach who have been joining Eagle Island, but even so, they are still far from 50,000.

  Unless...

  Samwell immediately thought of Cheman sent out by him.

  "Was it Cheeman who brought back a lot of savages ?" Samwell searched among the accompanying retainers, but couldn't find the person he was looking for.

"Huh? Why didn't I see him ?"

The scene suddenly fell silent .

  In the end, Gavin said, "My lord, Cheman...he's outside..."

  "Outside?" Samwell narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean? Didn't I tell him to stop? Didn't he Follow my orders?"

  "Not really. Cheman has indeed stopped expanding, but...he is now stationed outside the valley..."

  "Why? You didn't let him in?"

  Gavin nodded, and then he was afraid that Sam would misunderstood, and quickly explained:

  "My lord, it's not that I intend to embarrass him. It's that he now has as many as a thousand soldiers! The army in the castle is only five hundred. I'm worried..."

"Thousands ? "Samwell frowned, "I only allowed him to recruit only five hundred people, right?"

  "Yes, my lord, I have always supplied food and weapons according to this share, but..." "

  " I see." Samwell had no joy or anger on his face, "Send someone to tell Cheman that I'm back, and tell him to come to the castle to see me immediately."

  "Yes."

  Afterwards, Samwell continued to inspect the castle, but the atmosphere became obviously more depressed.

  After a while, the envoys sent hurriedly returned to report:

  "Lord Caesar, Cheman doesn't want to come. He said that Eagle Island doesn't welcome him. If you want to see him, you can only go out of the valley to meet him."

  The atmosphere became even more stagnant . .

  Samwell laughed instead: "Oh! ..he grew some gut's !"

  Gavin said quickly, "My lord, you can't go out."

  "What? Cheman still dares to kill me?"

  "Cheman..." Gavin gritted his teeth, "He seems to be crazy!"

  "Crazy?" Samwell laughed, "Didn't he go crazy a long time ago."

  Todd Flower said: "My lord, if If you really want to go out of the valley, I suggest you take the army with you."

  "The army in the castle is not as numerous as Cheman's men, and it would be embarrassing to take them with me."

Samwell laughed and patted the giant sword [Dawn] behind his back , "It's fine if I'll go alone."

  Hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they hurriedly spoke to stop him.

  ...

  "Lord Caesar summoned you, why don't you go!"

  Outside the valley, Ucha asked angrily.

  Cheman glanced at the savage beside him with those cold and pale eyes, and said,

  "Why should I go?"

  "You want to betray Lord Caesar?" Ucha became more and more angry.

  "Betrayal?" Cheman twitched his lips, "Did you forget were you belonged ? Or do you think that since your sister married the steward, you became a Reachmen ?"

"Yes , I used to be a savage, but now I am Lord Caesar follower ! He fed us, clothed us, took care of our old people and children, and gave us a wonderful life that we have never had before! Such grace is worth my swear to death !"

  "That's great." Cheman applauded, but didn't continue.

  "You, follow me to greet Lord Ceasar right now !" Ucha angrily said, "and apologize. I'm sure he will forgive you."

  Cheman stood still.

  "Do you really want to betray Lord Caesar?"

Ucha put his hand on the hilt of his sword, "I warn you! Cheman! Don't look at how many people you have, but ask them, how many are willing to follow you again back to the mountains to be a savage's ? If you betray Lord Caesar, see if they are willing to follow you!" "

  "Yes. How many of them will really follow me?" Cheman sighed, "I really want to know. "

  "Then let me tell you! None! Not one!"

  "Really? Then why are you so nervous?"

  "I..." Ucha felt like he was talking to a madman.

  Yes, this guy has already gone crazy!

  Just when Ucha was thinking about finding some trusted men to subdue Cheman, he suddenly heard him person say in his ear:

"Look, your Lord Caesar has come out."

  Ucha quickly raised his head, and Sure enough, a tall figure came out from Castle.

  In a daze, Cheman said in an inexplicable tone:

  "He is much more courageous than you."

  Ucha clenched the hand holding the sword even tighter.

  Cheman didn't seem to care about the threats as he quietly watched the figure walking out of the valley.

  Under the sunlight, the white armor on his body shone brilliantly.

  "He actually came alone..." Cheman murmured, with a strange gleam in his pale eyes.

  Closer, closer.

  Cheman could already see that face he would never forget.

  It's really is him.

  Samwell Caesar.

  Countless nightmares , Cheeman's eyes always saw this face.

  It was this face that made Cheeman feel truly desperate for the first time in his life.

  He licked his parched lips, as if he could still taste blood—

  the blood of his brothers.

  "Brother, kill me and run away as far as you can, don't think about avenging us. He is a devil who plays with people's hearts! You will never be able to beat him!"

  Brother's dying roar rang in his ears.

  Cheman did not run away, but chose to approach the devil.

  Yes, the devil was coming to him.

  Getting closer.

  Cheman could already see the badge on his white armor and the pattern on the blue cloak.

  Blue is exactly the color of uncle's blood.

  "Why did you do such a thing that is despised by the gods!"

  Uncle's dying cry lingered in his ears.

  For I have given my soul to the devil.

  Cheman said to himself countless times.

  "Cheman." The devil called.

  Samwell stopped at a distance of ten steps in front of Cheman, held the hilt of the giant sword [Dawn] behind him with one hand, and slowly drew it out:

  "Come here and kneel !! ."

  The words printed fire in Cheman pale eyes.

  fire!

  Blazing flames filled the entire world in an instant, and everything seemed to be burning.

  In a daze, Cheman seemed to have returned to that evening—

  the day when the army from Starfall City came to attack Eagle Island.

  It was the man in front of him, like a demon god who had descended into the world, who buried all his enemies with a fire.

  The long night is coming, the stars weeping blood.

  This ancient prophecy was constantly ringing in Cheeman's mind.

  He will awaken the dragon in the stone...

  he will hold the flaming red sword...

  he is prophesied...

  "King," Cheman murmured, and stood up to move forward.

  Closer, closer.

  Cheman felt the familiar fear again, the feeling that made his silent heart beat again.

  At this moment, he felt as if he was alive again.

  poof.

  Samwell looked at Cheman who was kneeling in front of him, and slowly swung the huge flaming sword in his hand.

  But the flame on the sword gradually extinguished, leaving only the red and golden mysterious lines, filled with the solemn atmosphere from ancient times.

  The giant sword rested on Cheman's shoulder.

  "Have you thought about your family name?"

  "Master, please give me a name."

  "You are from the Tiger tooth tribe, so you can name it after Tiger."

  "Cheman Tigris, meet's the master!"

  "I, Samwell Caesar , under the witness of the Seven Gods, in the name of the Baron of Eagle island, canonize Cheman Tigris as a knight."

  "I, Cheeman Tigris, offer unparalleled loyalty to my master Caesar!"

  Cheman slowly prostrated himself on the ground and kissed Caesar tiptoes.
