92 Captives (2nd Shift)
The remnant sun is like blood.
Reflected on Princess Arlene, it seemed to cover her with a golden veil.
But her face turned pale.
I forgot to keep hitting the drumsticks in my hand.
From the moment the Riverbend cavalry burst into the right flank of the Dorne army, she knew that defeat was inevitable.
The gap tore open by the torrent of steel had become a mortal wound to the Dorne army.
At this time, no one could stop the rout.
The whole scene is a very clear interpretation of what it means to be defeated.
Although the direct casualties caused by the Riverbend cavalry were not much compared to the nearly 20,000 Dorne army.
But the point is, this cavalry overwhelmed the formation of the Dorns, causing an extremely terrible panic.
Once this sentiment spreads, it is an irretrievable collapse.
The sound of horses' hooves, shouts of killing, screams, begs for mercy...... The sonata of war has completely enveloped this wasteland.
Looking at the battlefield in front of her, which was like purgatory on earth, Princess Aleen only felt chills all over her body.
She knew her dreams were shattered.
At this moment, she seemed to go back to that distant night, when she stumbled upon the letter her father wrote to her brother Quentin—
"One day, you will sit in my place and rule the ...... of Dorne"
Princess Arrene will never forget how she felt when she saw these words.
His father wanted to deprive her of her inheritance!
Endless darkness enveloped the noble and proud princess, and it was also at that moment that she was determined to prove herself to her father.
However, she failed in the end.
Now her father didn't have to think about what excuse to deprive her of inheritance.
Princess Aleen thought to herself.
……
Forward.
Samwell was still fighting.
His physical strength was almost exhausted, and the horses under him were exhausted, but fortunately, the enemy's resistance was already very weak.
Without even wielding his greatsword, the Dornites in front of him had already scattered and fled, and they didn't have the courage to face this terrible group of riverbend cavalry at all.
Eventually, Samwell had penetrated the Dorne formation and rushed out of the left flank.
Suddenly the sea of summer in front of him at sunset was vast, like a huge mirror laid out in front of him.
At this moment, Samwell just wanted to look up to the sky and roar.
"The Knight of the Bend, invincible!"
Unexpectedly, the knight behind him roared first.
Sam Will laughed and joined them.
"The Knight of the Bend, invincible!"
There were less than five hundred of the more than seven hundred cavalrymen left at this time, and each of them was covered in blood, and at a glance, it looked like a group of bright red steel monsters.
In order to cut through the Dorne army, they also paid a huge price.
But the cost seems insignificant compared to the effects it produces.
It was they who dealt the Dornés the fatal blow.
This honor is enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
Samwell took off his bloody helmet and let out a sigh.
Although he was extremely tired, his spirit was extremely high, and he even had the illusion that he could go back and sprint for another round.
Fortunately, he was still quite conscious, and neither the war horse nor the knight could carry out a new round of charge.
However, at this time, they were no longer needed on the battlefield.
Their mission has been accomplished, and it is time for the infantry to wrap up.
Earl Landau skillfully commanded his soldiers to divide and surround the Dornish, but he did not forget to deliberately leave a direction for them to escape.
Samwell watched for a while, feeling that he had gained a lot.
When the Dornites laid down their arms one by one and surrendered on their knees, he stopped looking.
The battle is over.
Samwell looked around and caught a glimpse of the silhouette of the bend soldiers surrounding a hill, so he turned his horse's head and paced slowly.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Arlene." Samwell shouted with a laugh.
The Dorne guards guarding Princess Aleon drew their swords against each other, but no one dared to step forward, as if they were also frightened by the invincible posture of the riverbend knight just now.
Princess Arleen's gaze also turned, and she looked at Samwell speechless for a moment.
Samwell sat on his horse and teased, "I remember I told you before the war that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and good things are as fragile as a porcelain vase. I'm not wrong, right? ”
As he spoke, Samwell lifted the blood-stained Broken Heart and pointed it at the collapsing army of Dorne.
Princess Alen trembled slightly, as if she had seen the terrifying scene of this terrible riverbend knight moving forward and tearing apart the Dorne army just now.
But the next moment, she suddenly threw down the drumstick in her hand and came down the hill.
The Dorne guards tried to stop them, but Princess Arrien shook her head at them and said:
"The war is over, my warriors, it's time to lay down your swords."
Hearing this, the swords of the guards all hung down involuntarily.
Princess Arleen continued on her way, and soon came to Samwell.
At this time, Samwell was covered in blood, and there were even stumps and flesh on his armor, like a demon knight who had come out of hell, but Princess Arlene had no fear.
She tilted her head and said, "That's right, you won this battle." But we're not going to throw in the towel. As I said before the war, we are Martell who will never bend, never destroy, and never succumb. ”
Samwell shrugged indifferently and said:
"Okay, then keep fighting. Winning this time, we got Starfall City, oh yes, and High Hidden City. Next time, it's up to you which city you have to lose. Maybe sooner or later, even the Halberd City will surrender to my feet. ”
In the setting sun, there was an extremely strong confidence in the words of this blood-soaked riverbend knight.
Even as an opponent, Princess Alyne couldn't help but be impressed.
"You're very confident." "But I must warn you that there was a riverbend man in history who tried to rule Dorne, but in the end, he died on a bed crawling with red scorpions. ”
Samwell knew that she was talking about Duke Leonor Tyrrell.
This man was appointed by Daeron I after the conquest of Dorne, but unfortunately, during his tenure, rebellions throughout Dorne never stopped, and the duke from the river bend was exhausted by the suppression of Dorne, and finally died tragically at the hands of the rebels.
Indeed, as Princess Arrene said, it is too difficult for outsiders to rule this land.
"I think I can give it another try." How could Samwell throw in the towel, "I like challenging things. ”
"Good luck then." Princess Aliane smiled brightly, and her beauty was incomprehensible.
Samwell also has to admit that this princess of Dorne is indeed charming.
And at this moment, Princess Arrene actually stretched out her right hand towards him.
"What for?" Samwell was stunned.
Princess Aleen rolled her eyes and said angrily, "As a gentleman, you should catch the girl when she reaches out to you, instead of rudely asking, 'What are you doing?'" ”
"It's a pity I'm not a gentleman." Samwell said in confusion, "I'm a knight who kills. ”
Princess Aleen gritted her teeth and exhaled angrily, "So, murderous knight, do you still want to enter Starfall City earlier?" You know, I still have a garrison of more than 200 people left in the city, and if you want to storm it, you will have to pay a lot of price. But if I follow you, the gates will open automatically. ”
Samwell thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, but instead of reaching out immediately, he scanned her body up and down.
Princess Dorne was dressed in a light silk robe, and she couldn't even hide the ups and downs of her body, let alone hide any weapons.
So, Samwell took her hand.
Princess Arleen took advantage of her strength and sat down in front of Samwell.
She didn't dislike the blood stains on the man's body, she shrank directly into his arms, and lazily commanded:
"Let's go, my knight."
Even through the armor, Samwell could feel the softness and heat of the body in his arms.
It's just that he didn't like the other party's commanding tone very much, so he slapped her round thigh hard, and said coldly:
"Sit down, my captive!"
