Chapter 50 Twin River City

Of course, the bloody smell of King's Landing could not linger on the peaceful river. Clay, who had just landed, stepped on a heavily weathered boulder on the shore. Behind him, the White Harbor Guard was finishing its assembly.

The captain of the guard, who had already changed into a lighter but full of defensive armor, walked to his young master step by step on the half-sand half-soil ground.

When he arrived at the Riverlands, he already belonged to the south. It was just such a small distance, but here, he didn't feel the cold at all. On the contrary, sweat had already started pouring out from his back. Here, it was much hotter than White Harbor.

"Master, we can leave in about an hour."

Although the river is densely populated, there is no one to be seen on this rocky beach. Clay and the others have enough rations, but no matter what, it is best to find people as soon as possible.

It was not the first time for the captain of the guard to take this road, but after all, it was already a year ago since the last time he set off from White Harbor to the City of Twins.

The location of the dilapidated little pier has not changed, but the trail leading to the inland in memory has indeed disappeared.The captain of the guard who was the first to disembark led his people to search for a long time before he found traces of passing through the dense weeds.

It's strange that this pier doesn't look like it hasn't been maintained for a year. After all, many ships departing from White Harbor and landing in the river land almost use this route. Could it be that they maintained it themselves?The captain of the guard didn't know.

After briefly reporting the situation to Clay, the captain of the guard stood aside, quietly waiting for Clay's order. Before leaving, the old man specifically explained to himself that everything along the way requires Clay to issue orders first.

Experienced, he can raise objections, but this must be done after Clay makes a decision.

Captain Ston has gone away with his galleon, the Old Man of White Harbor. According to the agreement, when Clay leaves the Twins, he will send a raven to White Harbor. When he receives the news, he will bring the fleet back again. to this place.

Looking at the slowly darkening sky above his head and the gradually thickening jungle in his vision, Clay made his own decision:

"Camp in place, light a fire to cook, and arrange night watch patrols. After all, this is not our place."

After thinking about it, the original thought of the captain of the guard was that there was a small village not far from the forest in his memory, and he wanted to spend the night there, after all, he could have a house to cover his head, but when he thought of the road already blocked by weeds, he felt a little uncomfortable. Make sure the village is still there.

That being the case, there was no need for him to object to the young master's decision, and even with Earl Wyman's authorization, he actually didn't dare to really confront Clay.

The order was issued, and 200 well-trained soldiers began to quickly cut trees to make a living. These people seemed to have expected this to happen.

Clay hung his long sword and began to wander around them, chatting with some soldiers who stopped to rest from time to time. Although many of them were dry and unnutritious conversations, it was obvious that the soldiers were more relaxed than before. too much.

When the sun once again disappeared over the horizon, the soldiers had set up a simple camp, the horses were protected by wooden fences, and there were a large number of sentry posts scattered around.

On the outskirts of the camp, two experienced hunting teams of 10 people were sent out. They were fully armed and went straight into the woods. Their job was very simple. They drove away the nearby wild animals and ensured that the camp would not be disturbed at night.

Of course, if you're lucky enough to catch some wild game, these hunter-born guys won't mind having a richer dinner today.

……

Early the next morning, under the guidance of the captain of the guard, Clay led 200 cavalry into this not too big forest.

It is actually not accurate to say that it is a forest. The vegetation here is more like a relatively tall bush. The leading guard captain had to find a suitable path to avoid the follow-up horses being cut by the hard bushes.

After spending most of the day walking through the woods, Clay saw the King's Road connecting the north and the south. Seeing this road meant that they were on the right side and could move on.

Three days later, Clay and the others finally bumped into the patrolling soldiers of the Frey family near the Green Fork River. This timid guy saw 200 fully armed cavalry suddenly appearing in front of him, his face paled with fright, and he swung his sword They were all pulled out.

If he hadn't known the dozen or so flying mermaid flags in the White Harbor Army, he might have turned around and ran away by this time.

"Hello, from the Frey family, we are the army of White Harbor, escorting our Master Clay to visit Lord Walder Frey in the Twins."

The captain of the guard specially emphasized the word "my lord", because there are quite a few people named Walder Frey in the Frey family now, and the captain of the guard didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of these details.

It is estimated that the Frey family told them that Clay was coming, and it seems that the Frey family welcomed Clay's arrival very much, because the guard immediately put on an extremely respectful expression.

"My lord, I will take you to the Twin River City."

He didn't know who Clay was, so he bowed to the crowd. Clay didn't come out to identify himself, so he couldn't ask.

Nodding his head, Clay, who finally arrived at his destination, felt slightly relieved. The second half of the trip was no different from a wilderness adventure, and he saw a few people on the King's Road.

The soldier of the Frey family led the way. Clay thought for a while, and called the captain of the guard who was riding not far away.

"Go talk to him and see if you can find out about the situation in the Frey family. In addition, I must know who he will bring us. The first step in the gate of the Twin River City cannot be wrong. gone."

After listening to the young master's words for half a minute, the captain of the guard understood what the young master meant. He also knew that the Frey family had complicated factions, but he wouldn't consider issues from the perspective of a nobleman even if he wasn't a nobleman.

From Clay's point of view, he had to meet Lord Walder Frey directly when he entered the city. As for the other Freys, he had to wait until he got in touch with the White Sea Guard stationed here.

Clay thought it was troublesome to meet these Foyles rashly, and he might get involved in some unexpected situation, and he was not interested in it at all.

Before leaving, the Chief He Wen of the White Sea Guard told himself that he had sent all the manpower he could transfer from Hejian Land to Twin River City, and when he arrived in Twin River City, someone would contact him.

Following Frey's soldiers all the way forward, finally, Clay saw the Green Fork River, the bridge, and the countless twin tower flags fluttering on the fortress at the head of the bridge.

This is the Twin Rivers City. The first time Clay saw it, there was only one thought in his mind. If he was leading the army, how would he capture it?

 The Frey line has been opened. After all, it is stuck at the throat of the northern army going south. Our Clay's going south is not for fun. This Twin River City is a place suitable for conspiracy.
