Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 243 I'm waiting for the army, what are you waiting for?
Jon Royce looked at the towering city wall of Stone Ledge City, glared at it bitterly, and walked away resentfully.

Sons are of course important, but compared to the honor of the entire Royce family, let's stand aside. After all, Jon Royce has more than one son, and he will not be extinct at that point.

Therefore, I can only wrong Anda Royce to continue to stay in Shili City. As for whether he can come out alive, the Earl of Runestone City has nothing to say.

With luck, Tywin Lannister succeeded in the south, and he could exchange a great noble from the north for his son. Apart from this, it is estimated that if he sees him again, it will only be when Runestone City surrenders.

In the end, reason still prevailed. Although he was already in a state of anger, Jon Royce still did not order to storm the well-defended Shili City.

In this round of fighting between him and Clay, neither one won.

However, this is not entirely true, because whether he sieges the city or not, it is worthwhile for Clay.

If Jon Royce was attacked by Garland Manderly's army in a few words, then Clay would have to see how the Valley people were infantry.

As long as the last trace of blood of Jon Royce is exhausted under this stone fence, Jon Royce, who is looking forward to the city with his remnants and defeated soldiers, will no longer be a threat to Clay.

Sometimes, when one's spirit is gone, nothing can be done.

If Jon Royce finally got smart and decided not to be fooled by Clay, that would be fine. The only choice for the old boy now is to go south to Acorn Hall and Stone Hall Town.

Regarding the choice of the Earl of Runestone City, Clay's attitude is indifferent.

Whether you like to go or not, as long as you don't get in the way of Shili City, anyway, at that time, you had 1 people in the city and didn't take it down. Now you are an exhausted army. Coupled with such cold weather, you can make some achievements. It's hell.

Jon Royce decided to go south to suffer the cold, and Clay of course agreed. Time was on his side. As long as the two thousand family cavalry brought by Krissen were in place, Clay's chance would come.

Spreading out the map, one can see the area around Shitang Town and Acorn Hall, and further south to the endless Reach Plain, which is the territory of the Reach people, and it is impossible for the current Valley people to provoke them.

If you go west, you will reach the intersection of the Red Fork River and the mountains. There is no value for military occupation in that place, and the traffic conditions are extremely bad.

As for going east, oh, do you want Jon Royce to go to Tywin Lannister for milk in disgrace?

If he, Jon Royce, dared to go east, then Clay would dare to lead his troops north immediately and eat up the 2000 men who were sent out to chase the Earl of Mallister in one go.

Moreover, even if the army under the city of the two cities in the south was assembled, taking into account the loss of the siege for such a long time, it would be considered lucky for Jon Royce to have more than 6000 men under his command.

What good would Tywin Lannister want these demoralized remnants once they were below Harrenhal?

They have lost their courage, and their infantry siege ability is extremely stretched. As long as Rob Stark does not break through, they are useless at all. In addition to helping Tywin eat and continuing to put pressure on Tywin's logistics, What else can I do?

Therefore, Clay judged that even if Jon Royce left Shili City and rushed to the second southern city to join his army, he would not go anywhere.

With the battle like this, if Clay were him, he would be ashamed to go back to the valley.

Without him, it's just too embarrassing.

……

"Master Clay, let them go like this? When their three thousand cavalry go south, the pressure on Shitang Town and Acorn Hall will be great."

Harry Hewen has been by Clay's side these days, and he has witnessed the process of Clay's battle with his own eyes.

Seeing that Clay was an inferior force from the beginning to the end, facing the army of Jon Royce, he didn't panic at all, cleverly arranged, and gradually eliminated the foundation of Jon Royce in Shili City, It made him who was chasing him have nowhere to stand.

All the illegitimate children in Shili City saw it, and they were very envious of Clay's ability to command the army freely, but he knew that with the size and status of his family and his own identity, he would always listen to others. ordered.

In this rigid and stagnant society, from the moment a person is born, it is decided whether he will command others or listen to others in his life. A famous surname really represents almost everything.

Standing at the head of the city, Clay, who was looking at the position where Jon Royce left in the south, glanced at this good-looking kid, and replied lightly:
"Trust the people of Acorn Hall and Shitang Town. They can defend their castle. If they can't, I will lead my troops to avenge them in the future. Do you understand?"

Harry River was silent. Clay had told him a long time ago that the three cities in the east were not worthy of Clay Mandalay giving up his own interests to protect them. When necessary, they could be sacrificed immediately without a trace. hesitantly.

Although Clay's army is now stationed in Shili City, he, the guard of Shili City, will not have any problems no matter what, but hearing Clay use such a relaxed tone, it is as if the fate of the other two cities is pronounced. I still feel a little uncomfortable.

He completely forgot that Clay Manderly in front of him was not from Hejian at all, and had no obligation to help them defend the city at all.

Clay didn't have time to talk to him about what he was thinking, he didn't care and didn't want to know.

"Harry Rivers, now use your name to contact Riverrun and tell Edmure Tully that the siege of Stonehedge City has been lifted, so that he can safely and boldly send troops to take over the defense. gone."

"Also, let me tell Edmure Tully that Clay Manderly is waiting for him at Stonewall, and invite him, the Duke of Riverrun, the guardian of the Trident River, to come here to discuss a plan for a comprehensive counterattack."

As for Clay, as long as Harry Hewen obeys orders honestly, now, as long as he is a nobleman in Hejian, he knows the importance of Clay Mandalay, an outsider, in this land.

For the first time, their army was defeated by the Kingslayer at the foot of the Golden Tooth City, and the Lannister army once besieged Riverrun City. Edmure Tully, Lord of Riverrun.

But right now, after the defeat in the Northern Territory, all the nobles in the river shrank and stopped at the city of rushing, and it was this Clay Manderly who abruptly reversed the situation by relying on his own use of troops.

Speaking of which, the Tully family and the Vance family in the Riverlands are much more powerful than the more than 1000 people in Clay's hands now, but why do they dare to confront Clay Manderly?

They didn't dare, on the contrary, they had to take Clay and use his military ability to shield them from the wind and rain. If Clay gave up his pick, how could they be the opponents of Tywin and Littlefinger?
This is why Clay was able to easily borrow two thousand cavalry from the princes of Hejian, and both sides took what they needed.

Although the weather has cleared up, the temperature near Shili City is still frighteningly low, and the white ravens from the Academy City have not yet arrived. established.

Clay estimated that after this snow, the temperature would warm up a bit, but it would definitely not reach the warm state before.

This time he asked Kristen to meet with Sir Marlon, and privately gave him a word.

Immediately notify the old man in Twin River City and Uncle Willis who is in charge of White Harbor, and immediately urgently make or dispatch at least [-] winter clothes to Twin River City, ready to support the army going south to change clothes at any time.

As for why there are so many, it is because, of course, Dawn might use these things, and those guys who are so hot every day that they don’t wear clothes well are thinking about winter clothes, it’s better to prepare them yourself up.

Whenever this happens, Clay feels that it is cool to be backed by a powerful family. If he is a member of a little-known small family, he would not even think about such a thing, because he would not have the financial resources at all.

"Okay, Lord Clay, is there anything else you want me to convey to you?"

Harry Hewen put his position very well, and Clay said he would do whatever he asked him to do.

"No, that's all for the time being, thanks for your hard work Harry Hewen, although I don't interfere with your family's private affairs, I know that if the king and your father are willing, then illegitimate children can be legalized. "

Clay said this with a smile, glanced at the guard of Shili City with an unnatural expression, and left the city.

Now that I am a leader, I have to learn the art of painting cakes.

……

Edmure Tully soon received the news that Stone Ledge City had been rescued from the siege.

Now, everyone in Riverrun City heaved a sigh of relief. They have been worried every day since Clay led two thousand cavalry eastward.

It's not how important he Clay Mandalay is, but that this man is now the face of the battlefield in the entire North and the Riverlands, that is, he dared to continue to lead troops to face the people of the Valley.

No one else has this psychological advantage, after all, they haven't defeated Lannister head-on.

For more than a month, the city of Riverrun has been eating sumptuous food in the rear every day, slamming Fang Qiu on the map, and arguing loudly about Clay Manderly's possible next move.

When Clay lured away 5000 people from Jon Royce, the nobles of Riverrun, headed by the Earl of Raventree City, once urged the army to march eastward immediately, and smashed the people under Stonewall City with absolute strength. The siege army.

But this suggestion was blocked by Edmure Tully in the end, and the reason was also very interesting. Edmure Tully was worried that if he could not solve the Valley people in time, Jon Royce told the fans After a battle, going back and forth, they are completely passive.

How should I put it, Edmure Tully seldom used his brain to think carefully, but he didn't give the correct answer. It wasn't until Clay personally led his troops to kill those guys that Riverrun knew that they were fighting wits with the air. brave.

But it doesn't matter, Edmure Tully's reputation in the army commander is already very bad, and this time is not bad.

Now, Clay's good news, together with a letter signed by Harry Hewen, the illegitimate son of the Earl of Blinken in Stonewall City, but it seems to be in Clay's tone, has arrived in Riverrun.

Edmure Tully cheered up suddenly.

Because a fool can also understand that this battle does not seem to have killed many people, but the people of the valley are already in a complete passive state. As long as there is another push, the people of the valley may be doomed.

With such great achievements, who wouldn't be envious?
After all, the armor and horses of the valley people are good things.
