Hawksbill Island, Lord's Cottage.

Samwell convened a meeting of retainers again.

But this time, everyone clearly felt the stagnation of the atmosphere.

Samwell didn't follow the process to let everyone report on their work, but went straight to the point:

"I'll tell you the bad news, the Dain family in Starfall City is rearming and looks like they're going to get ready for a fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces changed instantly.

But there was also a silly ask: "My lord, where are the Dane family going to fight?" ”

It's a stupid question that Samwell doesn't even want to answer.

Fortunately, after the man saw the strange gazes cast by everyone, he finally reacted: "The Dane family is coming to beat us?" ”

"It should be." Samwell's face was heavy, "Our territory is so close to Starfall City, it is inevitable that the Dane family will be hostile to us, and this battle will come sooner or later." So, we must be ready for war. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were different, some were scared, some were nervous, some were serious, and some were excited...... How can anyone still be excited?

Oh, it turned out to be Cheman, the madman.

That's fine.

Samwell snapped his fingers on the table, drawing everyone's attention and comforting:

"Don't panic too much, I have already sent this matter back to the High Court, and I believe that Duke Mace will send reinforcements soon."

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly improved a lot.

Only Todd Fohua frowned.

He wasn't one of those savages, or Gavin from the bottom, and of course he knew that in such a situation, Duke Mace might not really send reinforcements.

After all, the castle has not yet been built, and legally speaking, Eagle's Beak Island is not the territory of the river bay, but the place of dispute.

In this case, the Duke of Metz may not be willing to send troops.

As for Lady Olenna...... If Samwell had accepted the old lady's arrangement from the beginning, she would have persuaded the Duke to send troops, but now, it's hard to say.

Moreover, even if the duke really sent troops, it would have to be held out until the reinforcements arrived.

Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Todd would definitely not be stupid enough to say these words in public, otherwise it would not ruin the lord's plan to calm people's hearts.

At this time, Samwell had already begun to deploy the preparation mission.

He first asked Gavin to organize the evacuation of personnel, and moved the old, weak, women and children of the welfare home to the villages outside the valley for temporary resettlement, leaving only soldiers and young people to assist in the battle.

He then ordered Victor to organize artisans and laborers to urgently build defenses. He planned to set up two lines of defense, the outer line of defense was made of ditches and fences, including the small half of the Eagle's Beak Island, including the existing important buildings and the valley mouth, and the second line of defense, which was the unfinished castle.

Although unfinished, the walls are already nearly five feet tall and are quite well defended.

In fact, Samwell really didn't want to use this second line of defense, because this would not only mean that his hard work in the past six months would be trampled by the enemy, but also that the only land access to Hawksbill Island would fall into the hands of the enemy.

In this case, even if Duke Metz really sent reinforcements, I am afraid that the enemy army would be easily blocked outside the valley and unable to enter.

So he will not give up the first line of defense unless he has to.

Subsequently, Samwell ordered Todd Folhua to urgently recruit 300 soldiers at once.

Half were chosen from the wildlings, and half were chosen from the outcasts of the bend.

In this way, the strength of Eagle's Billy Island will be close to six hundred, of course, the one who can really rely on it is the initial two hundred soldiers, in addition, there are one hundred people who have received two or three months of training, which is quite useful, as for the three hundred people who are now urgently recruited by Todd, it is obvious that they can't have much hope.

As for weapons and food, there is no shortage of Eagle's Beak Island for the time being.

Because Samwell had already exchanged the golden dragons he got from the Lannisters for weapons and equipment, as well as food supplies in case of emergency.

Now he was extremely glad that he hadn't used all these golden dragons to improve his strength attributes.

No matter how strong he is alone, he can't defeat a hundred.

What's more, he actually has a huge weakness - the agility attribute is too low.

Until now, Samwell has not found any food or ore that can increase agility.

Therefore, although his strength is far beyond ordinary people, his weaknesses are still obvious.

Moreover, no matter how strong his strength is, he is not invulnerable, and if he is slashed by a sword, he will be injured and bleed.

So, he had to find another way......

After explaining the complete battle mission, Samwell asked everyone to immediately divide up and prepare.

However, he left a bachelor's degree alone.

"Cobain, do you refine 'wildfire'?"

When he first watched the TV series, Samwell was shocked by the terrifying power of this magical alchemy product.

It is an extremely flammable liquid.

Once lit by a wildfire, it cannot be extinguished until the object it contaminates is completely burned out, even on water, and later in the famous Battle of the Blackwater River, "Little Devil" Tyrion Lannister destroyed Stannis's naval fleet with wildfire.

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Cobain nodded:

"My lord, of course those alchemists' tricks can't bother me. However, if you are going to use it in the upcoming war, I am afraid that there will be some problems. ”

Samwell was a little happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, and then frowned again:

"What's the problem?"

"First of all, it takes a lot of expensive materials to create wildfires, and most of them are not available here and need to be shipped from other places."

"I'm afraid it's too late......"

"Yes, and even if there are materials, wildfires will take a long time to make, and if war breaks out in the near future, it will be too late."

Samwell was a little disappointed: "Okay, I got it. ”

But before he could end the conversation, he heard Cobain say again:

"My lord, if you need a flammable liquid, I can make it for you......"

"Oh?" Samwell immediately came back to his senses, "Is it about the same effect as wildfire?" ”

Cobain shook his head: "Of course it can't be compared to wildfire, it can't burn in water, and its power is much different." However, it is a little bit of it, and it is not easy to extinguish. What's more, you have all the main materials here. ”

"What material?"

"Brandy."

"Brandy?" Samwell actually knew that the wine could be lit after reaching forty or fifty degrees, but it was easy to extinguish it, and I was afraid it would be difficult to meet his requirements.

And the kind of still he had in his hand couldn't have made a higher concentration of alcohol.

As if to see Samwell's suspicions, Cobain explains:

"Of course, it's not just brandy, I'll add a little bit of gadgets to it. In this way, its flammability is greatly improved and it is not easily extinguished. ”

Samwell's eyes lit up at this time, and he said:

"You can make one for me now!"

"We're here to help."
