Chapter 121 Conversation Under the Torch
"Mandalay boy, don't you want to use 5000 people to defeat my 1 people, they will let you shed your last drop of blood!"

Jaime Lannister tightly grasped the thick wooden railing with both hands, regardless of the small blood holes in his palms pierced by wooden thorns, he felt no pain at all.

The 1 people in Riverrun City was the last straw in his heart, and it was the direct reason why he still regarded himself as the noble son of Lannister and refused to bow his head until now.

In his mind, even if Clay defeats his 2000 people, it is impossible for all of them to stay here. Will find a way to deal with it.

As long as it is not a sudden attack, like this time, relying on Lannister's powerful equipment advantages, the 3000 people in the Tengshi North Camp, plus the main force of the two camps in the southeast and southwest who came to support.

With 1 people guarding the camp, it is just a hedgehog covered with spikes, which will definitely make the direwolf in the north have nowhere to go.

Maybe, when the northern army charged, these 1 people could still cause them heavy losses, and all the blood debts of these 2000 people should be paid back!

But now, Clay's words made James Lannister feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Again, there is no need for Clay to lie to any of his prisoners. Could it be that no one really ran out?
James didn't dare to think about what kind of scene this is. If there is no news, the 3000 people in Tengshi Hebei Camp are probably discussing enthusiastically at the moment. The ground cavalry all cut off their heads.

They didn't know that the direwolf's wolf kiss had already reached their necks, and they were just waiting to bite them down and send them to see the Seven Gods.

"This...you did it on purpose! You chose to ambush us in this place to completely block the news!"

Jaime Lannister finally lost his composure. He shook the wooden cage violently, but it didn't help.

Regarding his question, Clay nodded of course:
"That's right, otherwise I would have completely defeated your two thousand cavalry as early as the first night you left Tengshi's Hebei Camp, so why would I need to try my best to lure you here?"

He looked at James Lannister, whose face was three points angry, three points unbelieving, and the rest was full of fear, and sneered:

"Don't think about it, tomorrow I will lead people to attack the three camps in Riverrun that you are unprepared for. Guess which one I will fight first, oh yes, there is no reward for guessing correctly."

This sentence seemed to drain all of Jaime Lannister's strength, and he leaned back to his cage dejectedly, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Clay was not in a hurry when he arrived, he leaned aside and waited, unable to fall asleep, so he might as well have a few more words with him.

He didn't care at all whether Jaime Lannister wanted to chat with him, as a prisoner, his feelings were beyond Clay's consideration.

After a long time, James Lannister exhausted all possibilities in his mind, and found that no one of his camps could withstand the sudden attack of the five thousand northern cavalry without any preparations.

And as long as a large camp is breached, the siege of Riverrun City will be completely over. With the loss of mobility, it is the favor of the Seven Gods that 1 of the 2000 people can escape back to the West.

He sighed resignedly, glanced at Clay blankly, and said softly:
"You asked me such a question, did you deliberately come here to humiliate me?"

He's referring to the problem with Clay making him guess where he's going to attack, to which Clay just shrugs his shoulders:

"Don't think too much, Lord James Lannister, I don't intend to humiliate you, because I don't take pleasure in it. On the contrary, I respect your record of defeating the main force of Riverland in two battles. As a commander, I want to hear Your opinion, regardless of family, is just as a soldier."

Clay looked up at the stars in the sky, and said calmly:

"Anyway, neither you nor I can sleep this night, can you? It's better to have someone to talk to you than to be lonely and boring here alone."

James didn't know what kind of mentality he had to answer this question, but as Clay said, leaving aside the family, just talking about military affairs, both sides played well in the land of the Riverlands. score.

"Well, what a bastard I am to tell you about how you killed my army!"

Clay made a gesture that you said casually, only to hear James say:

"I believe you have already figured out the layout of my three camps in Riverrun. To be honest, even if you carry out a surprise attack, I don't think you can defeat these 1 people in one go."

He reached out and tapped his armor, which was as cold as ice in the night.

"Lannister infantry, everyone has similar armor. Even if the workmanship is far worse than mine, the effect is still the same. Let me just say that your northern equipment... seems to be far worse. "

Clay did not deny it, and the key denial is meaningless. He nodded:

"Indeed, the forging technology in the northern region needs to be improved, but you reminded me that in this war, I have to capture some artisans from the western region and send them back to White Harbor."

After tasting the name White Harbor, James Lannister pursed his lips and said nothing. He continued his opinion:

"Including the two big rivers that prevented us from taking Riverrun, I think you can defeat two camps at the same time at most, but you absolutely cannot wipe us out like today."

He raised his right hand, laid it flat and swiped it in the air:
"You and I know very well that the vicinity of Riverrun, except for the two rivers, is as flat as the chest of a woman in the valley, without any ups and downs."

"I believe in my soldiers. Their fighting skills are first-class, and their ability to escape death is certainly not bad."

Regarding Jaime Lannister's confidence in his army, Clay nodded noncommittally.

"James Lannister, I can tell you clearly that the Lannister offensive in Riverrun is over. No matter how many of you I kill in the next battle, the Tully family will resume their rule over the riverlands. You can't stop it."

Jaime Lannister didn't deny that, and it's a truth anyone can understand.

Both of them were silent, not knowing what to say next.

"Now, let's talk about another topic. How important do you think you are to your father?"

Seeing that James Lannister didn't seem to understand what he meant, Clay said helplessly:
"Let me put it another way, if you stay with me, it will be of no use except to consume food. Therefore, as long as the price offered by your father, Lord Tywin, is right, I don't mind sending you away immediately."

James Lannister understood what Clay meant, but he was a little strange. When Clay made these decisions, he never considered the ideas of the Stark family. Isn't the correct process not for his father to find the Northern Territory Talk to that wolf cub?
From the very beginning, he couldn't understand why Stark would hand over all the cavalry forces in the northern border to this boy with no reputation in the Seven Kingdoms.

What is the relationship between him and the Stark family? What a great trust. Although Ed Stark's two daughters escaped from King's Landing with him, and their whereabouts are unknown now, they have not heard that they have been with the Stark family. News of the engagement.

Not engaged to Ed Stark's daughter, and not named Stark, he is not an old nobleman who is experienced at first glance, this Clay seems to have popped out of the stone cracks of Dragonstone Island Mandalay, with all the cavalry forces in the north, completely reversed the situation on the battlefield of Riverrun in the First World War.

James Lannister realized that there must have been something that he didn't know about this Clay Manderly, otherwise he would never have convinced these proud soldiers in the north.

He is also the leader of the soldiers. He can tell whether the soldiers really respect a commander.

"Clay Manderly, my price may not be as high as you think. I am the Kingsguard, and the future Duke Lannister will be my younger brother soaked in wine."

Jaime Lannister tried to sound as light as possible, and said:

"A Kingsguard is not worth a few golden dragons. Maybe you should talk to Joffrey sitting on the throne about my ransom, but don't get your hopes up, he might not produce a single golden dragon."

This is obviously nonsense. Your son may not produce a golden dragon for you, but your good sister will probably let Earl Petyr, who is in charge of the account, squeeze out the last golden dragon from the treasury to redeem you.

"Sir James, don't you underestimate your worth? Even if Lord Tywin doesn't give you a golden dragon, wouldn't your good son and good woman pay for it? After all, Queen Cersei is with you He is very affectionate, even when he visits Winterfell, he never forgets to play, need I remind you? For example, the ruined tower?"

Clay smiled casually, and his tone was very gentle, but what he said made James Lannister stunned for an instant, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

How did he know? !

Although Geoffrey's position is wrong and he is not the heir of Robert, it has caused the entire Seven Kingdoms to fall apart, but this is something that no one can confirm, but today, he actually heard from a noble heir in the north , easily heard that he and Cersei had an affair in Winterfell.

The location is very clear, in Clay's relaxed and determined tone, it is very clear, this matter is not speculation at all, he has known it for a long time.

But how is this possible?

At that time, he and Cersei chose to meet at the Broken Tower, because the place was inaccessible and no one came at all, and, before doing business, they also checked to see if there was anyone nearby.

He clearly remembered that there was already a thick layer of ash on the floor of the ruined pagoda, obviously no one had come here for many years.

When Clay said this, his spine shivered. Could it be that when he and Cersei climbed to the top of each other, there were a pair of eyes watching him with interest?

Has my every move in Winterfell been under the surveillance of others?

The Stark family?No way, Ed Stark's justice is known to the Seven Kingdoms, if it wasn't him, then who would it be?
Looking at Clay Manderly who was smiling at him, James Lannister suddenly realized that it was an inevitable result for him to fall into this situation today.

What the hell are you planning?
Jaime Lannister felt a fear he had never experienced before, and it made him tremble.
