Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 101 The Chance to Lead the Army Alone
At night, while strolling outside his tent, Clay saw Rob, and also saw Theon Greyjoy following behind him with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Very good, at least this time, the Iron Islands' looters will not point to the west coast of the North for the time being. Although there is nothing to worry about in Clay's White Harbor, other northern nobles don't have to worry about themselves and Lannis The home was stolen when the specials faced each other.

After complaining about the strange brain circuit of Rob and Caitlin's mother and son again in his heart, Clay returned to his tent. As the grandson of Earl Wyman, a wealthy man in White Harbor, his tent was more luxurious than other nobles.

Apart from him in the tent, Sir Marlon, who smelled of alcohol but still had clear eyes, was leaning on a wooden box, his eyes scanning back and forth on the map nailed on the board by Clay.

Seeing Clay come back, Sir Marlon asked:
"Boy, are you relieved now?"

Clay also pulled a wooden box and placed it beside Sir Marlon. He leaned on it and nodded slightly:
"Yes, as long as we hold Balon Greyjoy's only son, the pirates of the Iron Islands will not point their knives at us."

The old knight nodded. Although he didn't say anything, it was clear that he agreed with Clay's words very much.

His eyes swept over Clay. He didn't expect that Clay could actually interfere with the decision of the Stark family in the North. This is good news.

Robb was facing a middle-aged and elderly nobleman, and Sir Marlon was also worried that it would happen to Clay, but now, it seems that his heir is tied to the young master of the northern border, so the problem is not big.

"What did you talk about this afternoon?"

Sir Marlon, as Clay's staff officer, wanted to know what happened in the afternoon's combat meeting, but he had no source of information.

"The situation is not very good. I have been arguing all afternoon, but I have no clue."

Clay shook his head and told Sir Marlon all about the situation. He was not worried about leaking the secrets, and soon these things would become known to everyone, and they didn't need to spread them.

After listening quietly, Sir Malone also frowned, his face was as relaxed as before.

Indeed, this is a very difficult situation, and it is not easy to come up with a suitable solution.

But in fact, Clay, who has a global perspective, has his own plans.

Should Eddard Stark be saved?Of course he had to be saved, because he was still alive, and if he returned to the embrace of the old god, it would be easier.

On the battlefield in Hejian, do you want to save the northern army?Of course, I have to go, because without the river land, the northern border does not even have a place to stand in the south.

Moreover, the northern border is sparsely populated, and other people don't know, but Clay knows very well that winter is coming!

Without the food delivery from the south, relying on the north itself, it is impossible to save enough grain for the winter. Besides, many families now do not harvest summer grain, but also send troops to the south to fight.

So, from this point of view, it is necessary to divide the troops. Clay originally thought of dividing the troops into three groups, and the other two routes were the same as before. He brought the demon hunter's personal guards and a small group of elite cavalry, and quickly went south.

Bypass Tywin Lannister's defense zone and insert directly near Harrenhal.

While waiting for the opportunity to find and bring back Ed Stark, use the powerful individual quality of the demon hunter to attack the food storage position of the Lannister army.

At this time, the Tyrell family should be fighting with Renly Baratheon, it is impossible to send food to Lord Tywin, who is temporarily their enemy.

In Clay's view, letting the enemy retreat does not necessarily mean repulsing them, but creating enough trouble for them has the same result.

But now, Clay has changed his mind, because he has personally experienced the prestige of Roose Bolton among the nobles in the northern border. Clay decided to find a way to resolutely prevent Roose Bolton from having the opportunity to lead the army alone.

Stark is still suppressing Bolton, after all, they are lords, and Bolton is a vassal.

And under the protection of many nobles, and putting Rob on the battlefield against Tywin, this is a simple situation, and there is no room for Rob to perform smart extinguishing operations.

Clay himself decided to use the arrangement in the Twin Rivers City as a bargaining chip, trying his best to win the original position of Rob.

But this time, Clay is not Robb Stark, let alone Catelyn Tully. It is impossible for him to accept the marriage request of the Twins City.

However, he had to go to the Twin River City, so some dishonorable means might be on the stage.

Clay would talk to Mrs. Caitlin, who was relatively less proud of these matters, first. After all, besides himself, Caitlin's words, Rob was the one who listened the most.

Clay thought of Aenys Foyle's pale and wet face. He must have been confused by the sudden war now, right?

The army of the Twin Rivers was huddled in the city, and the military power was not in the hands of Aenys Frey. Although he held some of the responsibilities of a bachelor, he could reach Lord Walder Frey at any time.

However, if there is no one to help outside, he has done something to Lord Walder Frey, and he has to do something to his elder brother Stevron Frey, and none of his elder brother's cubs will be spared.

However, assuming that the Seven Gods are on his side and let Aenys Foyle finish his work, how will he receive these thousands of troops when the city is full of soldiers?

He can do those things, so can others. He has no armed force. If he is not careful, he will be killed in Twin River City by the other Freys who have been divided into command of part of the army.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Aenys Foyle would definitely not do anything lightly, and besides, he did not do anything that Clay promised him.

Before he sent Frey's children to White Harbor, he heard the news of the war. The extremely shrewd Lord Walder Frey immediately summoned Frey's army to enter the Twin River City. Once the gate was closed, no one could get out.

As for Clay, facing Sir Aenys who shrank and pretended to be his son, he had to give him a selfless shove and cheer him up.

The big deal is to draw a bigger pie for Aenys Foyle, even if he promises to give him a crown, it doesn't matter, anyway, Clay doesn't plan to carry out any of them.

When he took the Twin River City, the army entered, Aenys Foyle, didn't he clean it up as he wanted?
Be kind, for the sake of the old and the new gods, find a chance, let him die of illness, pick a Frey boy who is easy to control, and help him up, see, Clay was moved by himself.

"Sir, don't think too much. Maybe the adults in the northern border will come up with a better plan at tomorrow's meeting."

Clay smiled, and then walked towards his single bed made of several large wooden boxes. This is the army, not his home in White Harbor, and everything is kept simple.

Although it was a bit hard and difficult to fall asleep, Clay quickly put himself into the meditative state of a witcher. Who said that he had to be in that position to meditate, right?
……

On the second day after Clay arrived at the camp, early in the morning, all the heads of the northern border came to the meeting tent yesterday.

After the quarrel yesterday afternoon, the nobles and lords reached a consensus that they must come up with the strategy today, and if they continue to delay here, it will not be their turn.

This time, Clay met Theon Greyjoy in the tent, and the seat Robb arranged for him was beside Clay...

Seeing Clay coming in, Theon snorted coldly and turned his head away from him. Clay squinted his eyes but didn't say anything. Although the two drew swords at each other at the beginning, this is the army after all. Enmity, step aside.

No one in this tent except Rob knew about the unhappiness that happened in the wolf forest. Although everyone noticed Theon's performance, they didn't connect anything.

At the beginning of the meeting, it was Jon Amber's loud voice that broke the silence again. The bear-like body stood there, and with his loud voice that could overturn the tent, everyone focused on him.

"If you want me to say, it's the same as yesterday. Let's attack now, and go directly to Lord Tywin. Let's make a night attack and stab the dagger into Lord Tywin's crotch!"

Jon Umber was very excited and his tone was very vulgar, regardless of the presence of one or two female leading nobles besides Caitlin.

As soon as he said this, the conference room was immediately full of discussions. To be honest, everyone actually wanted to do this, to fight against Tywin Lannister's army.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that one northerner beats ten, it also fully reflects the psychological advantage that the northerner has over the southerner.

They were not at all afraid to take on Tywin Lannister's well-equipped army.

But the problem is that in this conference room, everyone who is still thinking about it knows that things are not that simple.

"Okay, Amber, sit down and get a bottle of wine to gag you."

Roose Bolton said indifferently, he looked at Rob who was sitting at the top, and put forward his own suggestion:
"Lord Robert, we all understand that your uncle Edmure Tully's army may not be able to last long under the attack of the Kingslayer army. You make the decision, should we save it or not?"

As soon as these words came out, the tent immediately became quiet. This is the core issue. If you don’t care about the river land, there is nothing to say, and it’s over if you go south to fight Tywin.

"Rob..." Caitlin grabbed her son's hand. After all, it was her home, where her father and brother were all there.

Rob patted his mother's hand to signal his reassurance, thought for a while, and made a decision:

"Hejian Land, we must save it, so I plan to divide up the troops in Twin River City!"

Rob stood up, picked up two wooden carvings of wolf heads and placed them on the map.

"One way, lead our infantry, go directly south along the king's road, block Tywin's footsteps going north, and the other way, gather all our cavalry, pass through the Twin River City, and directly join the battlefield in the river."

"My lady, Lord Frey of the Twins, will you open the gates for us? He is your father's vassal."

Lord Galbert Glover raised a very crucial question.

Dividing the troops seems to be a good way, but the problem is that it needs the support of the Twin River City.

Mrs. Caitlin shook her head:
"We shouldn't expect the "Late Lord Frey" to let us pass easily. If he still considers himself a vassal of the Riverlands, he should be on his way to Riverrun by this time."

Clay interjected:
"Lord Walder Frey and his Frey family have collected bridge tolls on the Green Fork for hundreds of years. Why shouldn't they charge us?"

He turned his body to Zhou Ren, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone may not know that I just returned from the Twin River City more than a month before the outbreak of the war. As far as I know, the Frey family is still under the strict control of Lord Walder Frey."

"We have nearly four times the strength of the Twin River City, and we can just attack it directly."

It was Lord Rickard Karstark of Kahoe who spoke, a burly man with a hard face and a white beard.

"Count, what you said is right. We have four times their strength. No matter how difficult the Twins City is, we can take it down. However, you have ignored the issue of time."

Clay knew that someone would say that. After all, the adults in the North had never encountered this problem in the last Usurper War.

"I stayed in that castle for half a month, and I can tell you responsibly that although I have never been on a battlefield, the Marquess of Frey left 4000 people in the city. We rushed over, but by force, there is no It’s impossible to take it down in a short time.”

Clay's fingers squeezed the lion's head located in the town of Earl Harroway, and placed it next to the Twin River City:
"Unless Lord Tywin is a fool, he will definitely seize this opportunity and cooperate with Lord Walder Frey to kill all 1 of us before the City of the Twins."

"So, everyone, if we want to fight the Twin Rivers, we must find other ways to take it down quickly. Moreover, taking human lives is not our choice."

"You are so confident in what you said, do you want to say that after taking down the Twin River City, the army along this route will be under your command?"

Jon Amber stabbed Clay, but unexpectedly, this sentence hit Clay's arms.

"Maybe? Let's make a bet. If I win it, Mr. Amber, how about you listen to me?"

Clay laughed, this is really a good teammate when sleepiness meets a pillow.

"Speaking lightly, boy of the Mandalay family! I agree with your evaluation of the Twin River City. I have also been there. If you can take down that castle, why don't I give you all the cavalry in my hand? "

Earl Rickard Karstark didn't believe that Clay could capture the fortress that the Frey family had run for hundreds of years in a short period of time. Now that he was betting, he took his three hundred cavalry as a bargaining chip.

"Master Rob, do you agree with what we said?"

Clay did not forget to ask for instructions from Rob Stark, the leader of the Northern Legion. Although Rob wanted to lead his own troops, but thinking about his father's life and death near Harrenhal in the south, he decided to stay in the main infantry.

"Okay, then we've made a deal. I will personally lead the infantry army to fight against Lord Tywin's army. Clay, and my lords, whoever can quickly capture the Twin Rivers will be in command of the cavalry army." of."

"We northerners don't look at those flashy titles, we see the truth on the battlefield, my lords, am I right?"

The sonorous and powerful voice of the young man won the echo of everyone present. Most of the people in the north are like this, very pure.

In another timeline, Lord Young Wolf led them to be invincible on the battlefield, so, except for some people, all the nobles were devoted to him.

Now, as long as Clay takes down the Twin River City, he will be the commander of the cavalry corps!
Thinking of Aenys Frey again, Clay's face was filled with a smile...
