Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 278 Blood and Tears

Clay guessed that the old lion might be impatient, because he suppressed the news from Riverrun about the Lannister army in Golden Tooth City.

There are still some garrison troops in Riverrun City, and there are two never-ending moats of Red Fork River and Tengshi River as natural barriers. Even if the little lion is released from Golden Tooth City, it will not be able to eat Riverrun City for a while.

That being the case, then this kind of news that is destined to have no results but can shake the morale of the army should be digested by Clay himself, and there is no need for others to know.

After all, in this war-torn era, few people are truly sober.

……

"Come on, Drogon, we are not far from Gelesos."

Over the Bridge of Bitterness, Daenerys took Drogon just now and found a large pile of charred and smashed sheep bones.

There is no doubt that the only one who can do such a thing at this juncture is Clay, the disobedient dragon Gelesos.

This guy, after burning Star Shuttle City at the junction of Reach Land and Dorne, did not continue flying to the northwest, but turned around and flew all the way to the north.

Gelesos didn't know that it only needed about half a day's "flight" to the northwest to come to the capital of the Reach people, the city of gardens, Highgarden.

"Queen of Thorns" Olenna, as well as the dead eunuch who smelled like makeup all escaped by luck.

Daenerys set off from Sunspear on Drogon, but when they set off, they were more than four days behind Galethos.

Fortunately, Gelesos didn't fly all the time, but regarded this time as an outing, and Feifei ate and ate, and was not affected at all by the small wound on his wing.

The healing speed of the giant dragon is very fast. After all, it is a creature constructed by magic, which is different from ordinary flesh and blood creatures.

It's just that, after this time, Gelesos no longer saw the human castle and fell down to eat.

Anyway, Westeros is so big, if you encounter something that can be eaten, it will be cooked after one bite of Dragon Flame, and you can eat it in two bites. Anyway, there is no need to be full at one time, highlighting a sustainable development.

Daenerys once again appeared in Star Shuttle City. Although Drogon's size was a lot smaller than that of Galethos, the power of the dragon appeared again, and those who survived by chance were frightened. I'm a little nervous.

First, a big blue-gold guy suddenly flew over and burned the lord's castle to ashes. After a lot of effort, the pile of ruins with no one alive finally stopped smoking. Here comes a new black and red dragon.

Even if it is a little smaller, it is still a dragon!
Seeing the panicked farmers fleeing in all directions, Daenerys could only refrain from stopping to ask about the situation.

She herself deals with her own dragons every day, so of course she doesn't think there is anything scary about these guys who dominate the sky.

In her eyes, each dragon has its own characteristics, and she can feel their thinking.

In the eyes of these river bend farmers, the giant dragon is the talisman of death, and staying in front of this creature for a second is a desperate act of pinning his head to his belt.

Therefore, running as fast as possible and saving money is the survival wisdom of these small people who struggle to survive every day for one bite.

There is no way, Daenerys can only let Drogon, who has a very sensitive sense of smell, try to distinguish the remaining smell of Gelesos, who used to beat him every day.

Fortunately, Drogon finally found the right direction and took Daenerys all the way north.

But this time, it sent some wrong signals to the princes of the Reach, making them mistakenly think that the appearance of the second giant dragon represented the Dorne in the south, and the Targaryen family behind them could no longer hold back. , ready to attack.

Therefore, for a while, the nobles and lords in the castles in the Reach near the border of Dorne, such as Horn Hill, Glen Castle, Poplar Beach, Highland City, etc., have all evacuated their families from the castle.

The residents in the city are not fools, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, the lords and lords all ran away, and the residents in the city also dispersed in a crowd in the next period of time.

The peasants in the countryside had never seen such a battle. The slightly better wooden houses in existence were all bought by these decent people from the city with wealth that they had never seen in their entire lives.

Even the rotten house with air leaks everywhere that I live in is rented by people from the city, and there are not just one or two people living here, they are all the ones with families.

The farmers said that their own is really a long time to see.

Daenerys left from Star Shuttle City, and then went straight to the fruit wine hall in the north.

She asked her dragon, Drogon, to observe the traces left by Gelesos along the way, in order to avoid problems with her direction.

Sure enough, along the way, Drogon found many animal bones that Gelesos ate.

Daenerys clearly felt that every time Drogon saw these bones, the resentment on his body increased.

Daenerys can also figure out the approximate reason.

In order to find you, I, Drogon, can't eat and drink in Sunspear, and stay leisurely, running so far, am I not tired?

You're fine, there's food and drink along the way, are you here for an outing?
Originally, Drogon had been brooding over Gelesos for always catching and bullying him, but now, he felt dissatisfied.

If Daenerys, the dragon knight, hadn't instilled her own ideas into it, it wouldn't be interested in taking care of Galesos' leftovers.

Flying past the wine hall, Drogon is already trying to flap its wings. It is not like Gelesos. Although it is going north to find Clay, it is relatively leisurely overall. Drogon has worked hard .

However, the wings are one size smaller, and the flying ability is not as good as Gelesos. I chased all the way to the Bitter Bridge. Although in Drogon's feedback, the smell of Gelesos in the air is stronger, but Daenerys There was still no sign of Gelesos in his field of vision.

The most uncomfortable thing is that it's not that she is Daenerys Lu Chi, but that she has never been here at all, and she doesn't know where she is, so she can't even find someone to ask.

Helpless, Daenerys can only continue to chase north. As long as she finds Clay, everything will be no problem. I don't know how to go back.

……

After Clay discovered that Harrenhal was in a full-scale war, he immediately realized that the rhythm of this battle might not be in his hands from the very beginning.

The old lion's attack on Harrenhal with the whole army is actually a reappearance of the classic siege tactics.

This is a public conspiracy, an obvious fishing law enforcement, because this is what must be saved when attacking the enemy. It doesn't matter what Clay thinks in his heart. Right now, he still can't watch Harrenhal being beaten down by the old lion outside, and then the nobles of the northern border We were scooped up.

Therefore, Tywin Lannister played his cards first and wanted to go fishing, so Clay simply followed suit.

Don't you want to fish?
Do you expect me to deliver hundreds or thousands of people to your mouth one by one for you to eat?
How can there be such a good thing!
Since you want to fish, don't be afraid to catch sharks.

In addition to ordering the entire army of Edmure Tully to immediately set off for the battlefield of Harrenhal, Clay also specially called Garland Manderly and asked him to fly to Holloway as soon as possible. The earl's town, the Earl of Karstark who asked to be stationed, led an army of [-], and immediately went south to join the Battle of Harrenhal.

Want to gather some help, right?
Well, I will send up 3 people for you to fight, I think you can eat it?
Don't regret it until you end up with indigestion.

The army rumbled forward, and the entire eastern plain of the Riverlands, with Harrenhal as the core, was now full of sentry cavalry or messengers coming and going, as well as groups of soldiers marching towards their goals.

On Edmure Tully's side, after receiving Clay's order, he asked the orderly about the situation on the Harrenhal battlefield. Whether Edmure Tully wanted to or not, he obediently took his ten thousand Four thousand troops marched rapidly towards Harrenhal.

Clay understands, he understands, Tywin Lannister understands, and all the nobles and soldiers on both sides understand that this battle is the final battle to determine who can win in the end of the three families.

If Craig is defeated, theoretically speaking, the Northern Territory and Hejian will completely lose their power to fight again, and after exhausting their last war potential, they can only be slaughtered.

And once Tywin Lannister is defeated, it is almost impossible for him to escape back to the West Territory alive.

Unless he surrendered, he knew very well that Clay Mandalay's cavalry would hunt him down to a state where there was no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go to earth.

That being the case, let's see who is the final winner.

……

Winterfell

"Madam, I think you may want to read this letter."

Maester Luwin, as always, was wearing his gray back robes.

However, this time, he did not find the mistress of the North in Master Bran's room.

Just a month ago, in the godswood forest in Winterfell, a weirwood, the largest weirwood in the north, suddenly began to lose its leaves in a large area. The human face pattern, eyes, nostrils, and mouth on the trunk all leaked bright red. Bloody sap.

This is a scene that people in the north have never seen before. Even in the last harsh winter, the branches of the heart tree never withered.

Not to mention, the face pattern engraved on the trunk of the former son of the forest in front of him has become such a terrifying appearance now.

Those who believed in the old gods in the northern region regarded this as unknown, and the news was quickly reported to Caitlin Tully.

Throughout Winterfell, all those who believed in the old gods were unwilling to get close to this weirwood tree that was once part of the belief of the people in the north.

And the only one who can go up to check without any psychological burden is Caitlin Tully, the daughter of Tully who believes in the Seven Gods.

So she gritted her teeth and came to this place, where she hadn't been since the death of her husband Eddard Stark.

During this period of time, she would come every day under the heart tree, which enshrined her mourning for her deceased husband, and observe its condition.

The fiery red leaves that once shaded the sun fell one by one in the dense wind and snow.

For some reason, Caitlin Tully felt that the heart tree seemed to be aging.

Its power seems to have been sucked away by something unknown.

The idea is ridiculous, but this is a woman's first instinct.

During this period of time, there were reports of similar heart tree decline and death from all over the northern border, and a voice kept telling Caitlin.

Something big must have happened.
