  Chapter 161 Return to the Territory

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

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

  But even in the face of such a shabby scene, Samwell was still full of emotion—

   This is a territory built by myself from scratch, bit by bit, brick by brick!

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

   It would be better if only he remembered it.

   "Lord Caesar! Welcome home!"

   "Gavin! Haha, you have put on a lot of weight!" Samwell saw the head 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 someone to remove all the things on the boat, remember, it's all! Nothing less!"

   "Yes, my lord! I will arrange it now."

  Afterwards, Samwell greeted his retainers one by one, and waved to the leaders.

   "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 for nearly two months, and the furniture is basically complete. You can move in at any time." The chief craftsman Vido said with a smile.

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

The height of this castle is hundreds of feet, with a double-headed eagle flag on a blue background flying on the top of the towering tower. Ten feet above, four small trebuchets were placed on it.

  Sea water was drawn 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. It has six floors, 38 rooms inside, and two basements. In addition, there are three auxiliary castles, stables, warehouses, barracks, gardens..."

  Listening to Vido's introduction, Samwell nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, this castle is really not majestic, it is completely incomparable with the Red Castle he just left, and it is 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 will not last long."

"Don't worry, my lord, we have considered this." Vido pointed at the roof confidently, "Yingzui Island is near the sea and it is rainy 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 water storage through pipes. A pool can generally be used by seven hundred people, and even a little less can supply thousands of people.”

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

   "What is the population of my territory now?"

   "There are about 54,600 people." Gavin blurted out.

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

He remembered that the population of the territory had just exceeded the 10,000 mark before leaving, but after the Starfall City War, the Dane family's war compensation clause mentioned that they would send 7,000 young men to work in Yingzui 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 their own subjects.

  In addition, there have always been refugees from the river bay joining Yingzui Island, but even so, they are far from 50,000.

  Samwell immediately thought of Cheeman sent out by him.

   "Cheman brought back a lot of savages for me, right?" Samwell searched among the accompanying retainers, but found no one he was looking for, "Huh? Why didn't I see anyone else?"

  The scene suddenly quieted down.

  Finally, 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 obey my order?"

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

   "Why? You didn't let him in?"

   Gavin nodded, and then, fearing that Samwell might misunderstand, he quickly explained:

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

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

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

   "I see." Samwell showed no emotion on his face, "Send someone to tell Cheeman that I'm back, and ask him to come to the castle to see me immediately."

"yes."

  Subsequently, Samwell continued to inspect the castle, but the atmosphere became obviously more oppressive.

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

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

  The atmosphere became more stagnant now.

  Samwell laughed instead: "The shelf is quite big."

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

   "What? Cheman still dare to kill me?"

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

   "Crazy?" Samwell said with a smile, "Didn't he go crazy a long time ago?"

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

   "The army in the valley is not as numerous as Qiman's men, and it would be embarrassing to bring it with you." Samwell chuckled, and patted the giant sword [Dawn] behind his back, "I'll go alone."

  Hearing this, everyone changed countenance and hurriedly spoke out to stop them.

  …

   "Master Caesar summoned, 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?"

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

   "Betrayal?" Cheeman twitched his lips, "Did you forget that you were a savage from the Huya tribe? Or do you think that if your sister married that steward, you would become a Hewan native?"

"That's right, I used to be a savage from the Huya tribe, but now I'm the leader of Lord Caesar! He fed us and clothed us, took care of our old people and children, and gave us a wonderful life that we never had before! Such grace, It is worth my swearing to follow!"

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

   "You come into the valley with me now!" Wucha said angrily, "Go and apologize to Lord Caesar! He will forgive you."

   Cheeman 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 you can ask them, how many are willing to follow you again?" Going back to the mountains to be a savage? If you betray Lord Caesar, let’s see if they will still follow you!"

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

   "Then I tell you! None! Not one!"

   "Really? Then why are you so nervous?"

   "I..." Ucha thought he was talking to a madman.

   Yes, this guy is already crazy!

   Just when Ucha was thinking about finding a few trusted men to subdue Qieman, he suddenly heard this person say in his ear:

   "Look, your Lord Caesar has come out."

   Wucha quickly raised his head, and saw a tall figure walking out of the valley entrance.

  In a daze, I heard Cheeman say in an inexplicable tone:

   "He has more guts than you."

  Ucha tightened his grip on the sword.

  Cheman didn't seem to care about the threats around him, 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..." Qiman murmured, a strange gleam flickered in his pale eyes.

  Closer, closer.

   Cheeman could already see clearly the face he would never forget.

   It really was him.

  Samwell Caesar.

   Countless midnight dreams, Cheeman's eyes are always this face.

   It was this face that made Cheman feel the taste of real despair for the first time in his life.

  He licked his dry lips, as if he could still taste the taste of blood—

   That was 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 defeat him!"

  My brother's dying roar rang in my ears.

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

   Yes, the devil is coming to him.

Getting closer.

  Cheman was able to see clearly 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.

  Because I have given my soul to the devil.

   Cheeman said to himself countless times.

   "Cheeman," the devil called.

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

   "Come here, kneel down."

  Cheman's pale eyes showed a red-gold light.

fire!

   Blazing fire instantly filled the whole world, everything seemed to be burning.

   In a trance, Cheeman seemed to have returned to that evening—

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

   It was the man in front of him, like a demon **** descended from the world, who buried all the enemies with a single fire.

  The long night is coming, the stars weep blood.

   This ancient prophecy could not be restrained in Cheeman's mind.

  He will awaken the dragon in the stone...

  He will hold a flaming red sword...

   He is the prophesied...

   "King." Cheeman murmured, then got up and moved forward.

  Closer, closer.

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

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

   Plop.

  Samwell looked at Cheeman 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-gold mysterious lines, filled with the boundless atmosphere from ancient times.

  The great sword rested on Qieman's shoulder.

   "Have you figured out your family name?"

   "Please give me a name from the master."

   "You come from the Huya tribe, so take the name Huya."

   "Qiman Huya, meet the master!"

   "I, Samwell Caesar, under the witness of the Seven Gods, in the name of the Baron of Yingzuiyu, canonized Cheeman Huya as a knight."

   "I, Chiman Huya, offer unparalleled loyalty to my master, Caesar!"

  Cheman prostrated himself on the ground and kissed Caesar's toes.
