Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 102 Clay's Bing Front Has Finally Arrived at the City of the Twin Rivers

Lord Walder Frey of the Twins has a problem.

It made him restless, and he hadn't been able to enjoy his eighth wife for days.

Sitting on the tallest tower of the castle on the east bank of Twin River City, he who liked rain the most, looked at the complete torrential rain in front of him, and cursed in his heart.

The situation in front of him reminded Marquis Walder Frey of the war more than ten years ago. Back then, because he was too hesitant to stand in line, he finally raised his troops to respond to his lord, and ended up with a "late arrival" Lord Walder's infamous title.

This is a thorn in my heart that can't be pulled out. The Frey family is so big and has so many children. Now, many young men and women are getting married because they can't get married.

As he who can hear every sound in the entire Twin River City, how could he not know these things, but what can he do?
If he encounters a pair and kills a pair, it won't be long before he himself will be killed by one of the heirs underneath.

Lord Walder Frey wanted to live as long as the dragon to see the Seven so early.

Originally, he liked that young man in Mandalay, White Harbor, and decided to pick the best girl to be his wife, but the boy came around and was suddenly attacked by the family caravan. Called away.

what a pity!

The 90-year-old man has recently felt that his spirit is getting weaker and weaker. His old and thin body is shrunk under the gorgeous clothes, like a ridiculous weasel.

He knew very well that the weaker he was, the happier his boss, Stevron, would be. He had been the heir for decades, and finally saw the opportunity to become a full-time member. How could he not be excited?

Marquis Walder Frey didn't believe that he and his eldest son, Stevron, still had such a shitty father-son relationship, and that he could persist until now, but that Stevron didn't want to bear the reputation of being a kinslayer.

Look at the youngest, Innis, who has always been respectful to him. Sometimes Walder Frey wants to kill the boss and help the youngest to be the heir.

As for the second son who was ridden by the Lannister woman, Walder Frey didn't think about it at all. If he was allowed to inherit the Twins, all the Frey family would have to change their surnames to Lannister.

Now, near the city of Riverrun in the southwest, the Kingslayer defeated Duke Tully's good son Edmure in the first battle, and he is leading his troops to hunt down the city of Riverrun. I don't know if he can escape the pursuit.

To the southeast, Tywin Lannister, an elite army of more than 2 people, is stuck in the throat of Earl Harroway's town. He got the news that Lord Tywin is hunting down Ai in his own control area. De Stark.

And to the north of him, Robb Stark, the brat, with his army of nearly 2 people, is heading south along the damn King's Road. Yesterday, the scouts who came first had arrived.

In the name of Catelyn's doll, Robb Stark told himself to open the city gates, and with all his troops, he went south with him to save the sick and dying old trout.

Thinking of that letter, Marquis Walder Frey sneered. This little wolf cub in the north is as ignorant as his father. The Frey family has collected bridge tolls here for more than 100 years. Do you think you are the king? ?

No matter who wants to cross this bridge, he must pay a bridge toll that satisfies him.

In the bald head of Marquis Walder Frey, he has already begun to calculate his asking price. It seems that the young master of the northern border has no engagement yet, right?He doesn't have those two younger sisters either?

This is easy to handle, let these bastards speak out and let them compete with each other.

Having lived in this tomb-like castle for 90 years, the greatest hobby of Marquess Walder Frey now is to see his many children fighting for some big or small things, even getting bloody.

This is something that excites him more than a woman's lower body.

The corner of his mouth involuntarily pulled an ugly smile, and Marquis Walder Frey suddenly felt that the rainstorm in front of him was not so annoying anymore.

……

Finally, Clay saw the blue-black walls of the Twins City once again through a large swath of fluttering flags.

The 7000 troops of the Northern Territory were all set up on the plain on the east bank of Twin River City, set up a camp, and flags embroidered with various family patterns were flying in the camp.

According to Clay's memory, this time, the adults in the northern border first focused on fighting, and their second consideration was negotiation.

Clay has fulfilled his promise to himself, with a large army in his hand, he is approaching the city.

The War Council was called again, before the Freys sent their negotiating knights.

It was still the same big tent, but the difference was that the place was changed, and the atmosphere was much more tense than last time.

On the way here, Clay found an opportunity to make a false marriage contract with Aenys Foyle, and selectively told Caitlin Tully about the possible chaos in the Foyle family.

Clay couldn't forget the complicated expression on Catelyn Tully's face at that time.

In Clay's plan, he would take several of his personal guards, sneak into the Twin River City, and wait for the opportunity to threaten Aenys Foyle to do it as soon as possible.

Kill all the people who are ranked next to Aenys Foyle in the line of succession. As for the means, if Aenys Foyle is short of manpower, Clay and his personal guards can do it for him, of course, as Aenys Foyle's soldiers.

Clay didn't intend to admit that he had infiltrated into the Twin Rivers, he didn't want to admit anything, he spread his hands, what does this have to do with him?
If Ennis was scared, or disagreed, Clay would let him have a taste of Axifa's embarrassing experience.

As for why he didn't just sneak into Lord Walder Frey's room and cut off the old guy's head and kick it as a ball, Clay had his own considerations.

The adults in the north, what will they think if they find out that Walder Frey killed himself?
More than 1 people are besieging the castle and it is difficult to break into it. If you, Clay Mandalay, touch it, you will dominate the lord. This is a big taboo.

As long as these nobles are not stupid, they can figure it out. Clay can kill Walder Frey without anyone noticing, and he can send them to the old and new gods without making a sound.

Clay would not do this kind of thing that made him feel uncomfortable.

Walder Frey died at the hands of his own son, and he, Clay Manderly, was a completely different matter.

As the rear of the war in the future, Twin River City must be under absolute control and no chaos can occur.

Caitlin did not tell Rob Clay's plan, but tested Rob half-jokingly, but as Clay expected, Rob did not agree with this approach. Like his father, Rob's honor It made him feel that this was very inappropriate.

He was ready to scorn the man who had suggested this to his mother.

But her mother Caitlin blocked all Rob's words with one sentence:
"If you want to win this war, save your father, and help your uncle defend Riverrun, you can't just rely on means on the battlefield!"

Rob knew that what his mother said was right, but his father Ed Stark's long-term education made him still dislike similar codes of conduct.

What he likes is nothing more than talking with the sword on the battlefield, and the winner is king.

Can't be wrong, but in the real world, how could it be so simple?

……

"We are now at the Twin Rivers, and the old dog Walder Frey has shut his damned city gates tightly. Now, what should we do?"

Jon Amber tapped the location of Twin River City on the map. The army had just arrived, and everyone was not sure about the attitude of the Frey family.

A hint of anxiety flashed across Rob's expressionless face, but he suppressed it. He sighed and said a new news about the current battle situation:

"Two days ago, my uncle Edmure Tully, with the regrouped riverland army, fought another battle against the Kingslayer at the gate of Riverrun. Unfortunately, they failed again. Uncle himself was also taken prisoner."

"Right now, Kingslayer's troops of nearly [-] people have surrounded Riverrun City. Currently, Riverrun City has not yet attacked the city because of its tight defense."

This is really not good news. Although Clay knew very well that with the fighting power of the princes in the river, this matter would inevitably happen, but losing the heir to Riverrun in World War I would be a big trouble.

Although Lannister would not kill him easily, Edmure's capture itself would give the opponent a big bargaining chip.

"So, we must pass through the Twin River City as soon as possible, and the people in the riverland may not last long."

Clay said that this is the current situation before the northern army.

At this moment, a Stark guard ran into the big tent and brought a message:
"My lords, here comes the Frey cavalry."

"Several people?"

Clay asked:

"A dozen or so, flying the banner of the Twin Towers in dark blue on a silver-gray background, headed by Sir Stevron, heir to Lord Walder Frey."

"Oh, it's him. Lord Walder Frey is generous. His lord lost an heir, and now he has sent us one!"

Jon Amber laughed, and anyone could understand what he meant.

Clay shook his head and dismissed his thoughts with one sentence:
"Lord Umber, don't you forget that Lord Walder Frey has no shortage of heirs, unless we can storm into the city and slaughter this brood of Freys."

Seeing everyone's eyes coming together, Clay started his plan:

"My lords, I can probably guess the purpose of Sir Stevron's visit."

he said loudly, and continued with his words.

"He'll invite Lord Robb into the Twins to meet that old thing inside."

Clay didn't say a word, but Mrs. Caitlin immediately interrupted him.

"No! Robb must never enter the city, and now that he is locked outside the gates, we can no longer treat Walder Frey as my father's vassal."

"Perhaps, in his heart, he has never regarded himself as a courtier of Duke Tully?"

Clay shrugged and signaled Mrs. Caitlin to take it easy, and he went on:
"We will definitely not let Lord Rob pass, if we are detained, everything will be over, and none of us know what Old Foyle means."

"Someone has to be sent, but I'm here to make a bet with all my lords, Lord Frey will definitely ask him to marry a Frey woman who doesn't know what kind of relationship to Robb as his wife, and then in the two of Lord Robb's Choose one of your sisters to marry to the Twins."

What Clay said was categorical, there was no way, he remembered what happened here very clearly, and the trip to the Twins made him deeply understand that the Frey family's desire to marry was almost as strong as reproduction.

All the nobles in the northern border looked at Clay with strange eyes. They didn't understand why Clay said these words with so much confidence and the conditions were so clear.

"I'll go, except for Rob, this place belongs to me." Mrs. Caitlin sighed.

"Ma'am, are you going?" Jon Amber frowned.

"Mother, you know, Lord Walder..." Rob was worried about his mother's safety.

"Although Lord Walder did not respond to my father's call, she will not do anything to me. If he dared to hurt me, wouldn't he just give you an excuse to attack the city?"

Caitlin smiled and patted her son's hand. In fact, she was lying, and she didn't know what the Marquess Frey would do to her, but now, apart from her, no one can represent the North.

She remembered what Clay had said to her:

"Madam, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can at least guarantee that the Twin Rivers City will be in chaos."

Hope you are right, Caitlin glanced at Clay, opened the curtain and went out.

……

In the evening, while Rob and everyone in the north were waiting anxiously, Mrs. Caitlin finally rode out from the iron gate on the east bank of the Twins.

Seeing her figure, twenty northern cavalrymen galloped over immediately, guarding Caitlin in the middle, and escorted them all the way back to the main camp of the army.

After she had recovered her breath, Caitlin Tully's first words relieved Clay's heart more than half:

The matriarch of the North looked at Clay with a look of a monster, and she said:

"Master Clay, you guessed it all right. It is the conditions you said, in exchange for the Frey family joining us and letting you cross the bridge."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were locked on Clay. They never imagined that what seemed to them to be the ignorant nonsense of a young man turned out to be exactly the same.

Although Clay didn't mention the bet, everyone knew that things with no value were the most expensive.

"Ma'am, you promised him?"

Roose Bolton asked, if he agreed, what would the future pattern of the northern border look like, but he would have to look at it again.

Caitlin shook her head:
"Originally, if there was no Lord Clay, I would have agreed. After all, time is not on our side, but now, my reply to him is, wait until I discuss it with Rob."

She looked at Clay again, thinking about the things Clay told herself in advance, and there was a hint of expectation in her voice:
"Master Clay, you won the bet, so I want to hear your opinion."

This is exactly the opportunity Clay wanted!

Clay sorted out his thoughts, and with just a few words, he blocked Rob and Caitlin's idea of ​​marrying the Frey family's daughter.

"If Rob doesn't want to marry a woman who's the size of a cow, or an old woman twice his age, or a little girl who won't have menarche for many years, then, as far as I know in the Twins At that time, in fact, there were only a few candidates that Lord Frey could choose."

"Besides, I don't want you to know that when I spent the night in the Twin Rivers, Varda Frey, the "beauty" of the Frey family, wanted to climb into my bed."

This sentence caused a burst of laughter in the tent, diluting the atmosphere that was almost condensed just now.

Secretly despising these old bastards, Clay continued:

"Later, I learned that this Walda Frey has been having an affair with the "Black Walder" of the Frey family for a long time, and has a good reputation, so it can be deduced that it is very easy to lift up the skirt of the Frey family girl. "

Clay turned his attention to Rob, and showed his final trump card:

"Such a person, Robb married back to be the future mistress, the steel honor built by the Stark family's hard work, is estimated to be directly shattered into pieces."

Visible to the naked eye, Rob's face flushed red.

Clay knew he had won again.
