Chapter 247 Beauty
Land of Storms, Tongmen City.
Although it had just been attacked by war, due to the collapse of the city wall, the defenders collapsed at the touch of a touch, but it did not cause large-scale killings.
Also, Earl Alf Bukler had surrendered and swore allegiance to Samwell, so the resistance in the city melted like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
As the evening approached, the shouts of killing could hardly be heard in the city.
This also has a lot of credit for Samwell.
It was he who rode Cleopatra on patrol over the city. He not only deterred the people of Stormland and disintegrated their will to resist, but also alerted the soldiers of the River Bend so that they would not dare to oppress the people wantonly and cause random killings.
Samwell wanted to take the Stormland into his pocket, so he already had the mentality of "owner" in advance at this moment.
Having just executed a soldier who intended to **** a woman, Samwell flew into the sky amid the appreciative cheers of the Stormlanders.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the order in the city was basically restored, Samwell was planning to return to the castle.
But at this moment, in front of a lonely tower near the west city gate, he saw the soldiers of Hewan gathered together.
They surrounded the tower, but instead of attacking, they shouted like cheers.
Out of curiosity, Samwell drove the white dragon down.
"Lord Caesar." The soldiers at the Riverbend saluted Samwell one after another.
Samwell jumped off the dragon's back, and was about to ask, when he heard a rush of swords clashing from the tower.
With a scream, a river bend knight crawled out on hands and feet.
His helmet fell off, his sword was broken, his mouth was full of blood, and the coat of arms of the Horn of Harvest was painted on his chest. He should be a knight of the Mariweis family.
The soldiers of the River Bend burst out laughing.
There are endless mocking words about what even women can't beat.
"What's going on?" Samwell asked, "There are still enemies in the tower who haven't surrendered?"
"Yes." A knight from the Hightower family replied, "There is a woman inside who has been refusing to surrender. At first, Sir Mark Mullendoyle said that he would capture her alive, but he was beaten as soon as he entered. Bruised and swollen. Then Ser Hyle Hunter went in, was kicked out, and then Ser Eamonn Cue..."
"So, so many of you are here playing a martial arts game with a woman?" Samwell frowned.
"Of course we also know that as long as we rush in together, or set fire to smoke the woman out, the problem can be solved, but...that is a woman after all..."
"It turns out that you guys are quite chivalrous."
The knight of the Hightower family blushed suddenly.
They were actually upset about being defeated by a woman, so they rushed in one after another, wanting to prove themselves.
But unfortunately, things backfired.
The Knights of the Riverbend almost lost their face.
At this time, if they swarmed up again, it would be even more embarrassing.
But seeing that several powerful river bend knights were defeated one after another, no one dared to rush in again.
Seeing Samwell at this time, everyone immediately looked forward to it.
Mark Mullendauer came up with a pair of panda eyes, agitated inarticulately:
"Sam, there is the daughter of Earl Tarth of Evenfall Hall, 'Beauty' Brienne, although she is a woman, she is fierce! Several of us have never entered and fought, you go! Let the woman of the storm see the most Qianghewan Knight is amazing!"
Samwell actually guessed who the person in it was. In the entire Game of Thrones world, the only woman who can beat a man into such a woman is the "beauty" who wants to be a knight.
As the only daughter of the Earl of Tarth, Brienne is the heir to the Evening Hall. Although she looks ugly, she has a noble status and does not lack suitors. Lord Tarth betrothed his daughter three times, but Brienne refused them all.
This girl has a knight dream.
The world has never had a woman become a knight.
But Brienne insisted on having such an unrealistic dream.
She practices swordsmanship, learns to ride a horse, and fights with men, so she is also regarded as a different kind by men.
The title of "beauty" is the ridicule of men to her.
Samwell knew that this woman who was rejected by the mainstream could be called the most chivalrous person in the Seven Kingdoms today.
A true knight who is not a knight.
So he strode forward, pushed open the heavy oak door, and entered the tower.
The light in the building was dim, and Samwell got used to it before he could see the woman standing opposite him clearly.
Although this person's title is "beauty", it is really not beautiful.
Her face is round and big, with freckles, her nose has been folded many times, her yellow hair is like dry straw, she is tall, her shoulders are extremely broad, she does not have the soft figure that a woman should have, and she wears a dress full of knife marks and blood Iron armor, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, he was staring at Samwell.
Brienne's eyes are big and blue, pure and straightforward, like the blue sea, this is probably the only beauty in her whole body.
"Miss Brienne, Count Alf Buckler has surrendered, the battle is over."
"You haven't defeated me yet, so my battle is not over yet." Brienne's voice was dull and hoarse, but with incomparable determination.
"This is Tongmen City, not Mulin Hall, why are you working so hard?"
"I promised Lord Bukele to help him defend the city."
"But he surrendered himself."
“I will not surrender without a fight.”
She really is a stubborn silly girl. Samwell laughed and shook his head, and was about to pull out the giant sword behind his back, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't pull it out. Instead, he picked up a shield on the ground and said:
"Come on, let me see the strength of 'Beauty'."
She had seen the white dragon just now, and knew that the person in front of her was the famous Viscount Caesar, a terrifying existence who could kill three white knights with one sword.
Facing a strong enemy, Brienne aroused endless fighting spirit.
However, she didn't take the initiative to launch an attack. She remembered the teacher's teaching that being a woman was both a disadvantage and an advantage.
Women are inherently difficult to compete with men in terms of strength, but men's self-esteem cannot tolerate a loss to a woman, or even a long fight with a woman.
So, her best strategy is to take the defensive position, wait for the man to attack, wait for the man to be impatient, wait for the man to exhaust his strength, and then it is time for her to fight back.
Using this strategy, Brienne has defeated several men stronger than herself.
She believed that this time, she would definitely be able to use the same method to defeat the Knight of the Riverbend, who was called the most powerful force in the Seven Kingdoms.
Boom!
The man on the opposite side moved, and there was a crashing sound when his feet hit the ground.
Brienne saw Samwell holding a huge shield and rushing towards herself suddenly.
She instinctively felt a huge threat and rolled to the side.
Boom!
The giant shield collided with the stone wall, and a large amount of gravel was scattered in all directions, hitting Brienne's armor, making a clanging sound.
She felt the whole tower shake from being knocked.
This man is too powerful!
Brienne was inexplicably horrified, and before she could think about it, she saw that Samwell had raised her shield again and swept towards herself.
She subconsciously raised her shield to block—
There was a bang.
Brienne only felt that her entire left arm had lost consciousness, and she was also lifted up by the terrifying force from the shield, and slammed into the side wall fiercely.
This was the first time she felt despair in battle.
The gap is too big. There is no way to fight at all.
But the stubborn Brienne didn't want to admit defeat easily. She endured the severe pain and got up, only to see that Samwell had already charged herself again.
no! His strength must be consumed!
Brienne ran and started circling the room.
Unfortunately, Samwell was even faster than her, and knocked her to the ground several times.
Brienne's heart was beating violently, almost vomiting blood. Seeing the other party rushing again, she quickly ran to the spiral staircase and climbed up.
Samwell behind him pursued him closely.
The spiral staircase soon came to an end, and in front of it was a half-open round arched steel black door.
Brienne rushed into the black door and slammed it shut. Just a few steps away, she heard a terrifying crash from the door frame behind her.
Boom—
The entire steel black door was knocked out and fell far below the tower, causing the Hewan soldiers surrounding outside to let out a burst of exclamation.
Brienne looked at the man who was killing like a **** of war, but she calmed down in her heart.
Outside the black gate is a sloping roof surrounded by simple wooden railings as protective measures.
Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, Brienne felt terrified, and simply threw away the long sword and replaced it with a shield in both hands.
When Samwell rushed forward, Brienne kicked her left foot on the ground suddenly, her body turned over like a civet cat, avoiding the opponent's frontal impact, and the shield in her hand slammed into Samwell's side.
Boom!
The shield and the bronze armor made a muffled sound.
Brienne let out a growl, and put her entire body weight on it.
Immediately, Samwell staggered, but he quickly regained his stability.
Instead, Brienne herself lost her balance and rolled down the slope.
She tried to grab something, but the roof floor was extremely slippery, and there was no point of strength at all.
Boom—
Brienne hit the wooden railing, but due to disrepair, the railing couldn't bear her weight, and it suddenly fell apart.
Seeing that the crazy woman was about to fall from the top of the tower, Samwell called out:
"Cleopatra!"
There was a neighing sound from the ground, and the white dragon vibrated its wings and soared into the sky.
Brienne was in despair when she suddenly felt a burst of heat behind her. A huge force pushed her upward again, and the hot wind blew past her ears, causing her to scream uncontrollably:
"ah-"
Bailong took Brienne back to the top of the tower again.
Up to this moment, she was still in shock, tightly hugging Bailong's neck and refused to let go.
Cleopatra was unwilling to be ridden by a stranger, twisting her body and throwing Brienne off.
"Surrender? Miss Brienne?" Samwell asked with a smile.
Brienne got up from the ground, lowered her head and said in a muffled voice:
"I surrender."
