Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 56 City Gate
The next morning, when the impatient Wharton Frey led one of his troops into the Manderly family garrison, he was stopped by the captain of the guard outside. When the two sides were at war, a Frey guard with a strange face He rode over and brought a piece of news that stunned Wharton Frey:
His daughter, Varda Frey, was not in the Mandalay family residence at all at this time, but was honestly staying in her room, which should belong to her.

Axi's magical power prevented her from completing the tasks assigned to her by her father, and also disrupted her memory.

A distraught Walton Frey hurried away, and it was none of Clay's business how he would live with the confused Varda Frey.

The magic power flickered at the fingertips, and the ice power caused by Alder's seal extinguished the candles. Clay stood on the high platform, watching the backs of these Foyles leaving coldly.

It wasn't that the northern army led by Rob was stuck under the city of the Twin Rivers. In order to cross the river as soon as possible to seize the opportunity, that's why they were forced to accept the marriage contract of the Frey family. Clay now has no such concerns.

Whoever he wants to marry, or none of them, at least on the surface, no one has a reason to force him, which is why he dared to come to Twin River City so neatly.

After breakfast, Clay left the station with his guards. Yesterday's entertainment was over. Afterwards, he wanted to do what he wanted to do, for example, take a closer look at the fortress on the Green Fork River.

The Frey family has lingered here for 600 years. From the time they built this fort until now, no one has ever attacked this fort head-on.

It wasn't that this fortress had any magic spells. In fact, it was just an ordinary masonry mixed fortress, and the walls were not very tall. At least in Clay's eyes, the city walls of the Twins were far inferior to the giant fortress in White Harbor.

But the problem is, this fort has a wonderful advantage, which is the never-drying Green Fork River running through its belly.

The existence of this river makes it impossible for the enemy who wants to capture it to completely surround it, or even half of it, because only one side of the east and west fortresses faces the shore.

What's even more disgusting is that since the bridgehead is not very large, the battlefield for attacking the city is actually very narrow. Even if the opponent of the Twins City has a far superior force over it, if they really want to fight, they can only send a small army to attack each time. For some people, this became a refueling tactic.

Before Aegon's conquest, the Twin River City, which was far away from the battlefield of the landlords in the river, had never encountered a decent opponent. The high tolls allowed it to have the ability to raise an army of [-].

So the little Twin River City and its masters, House Frey, grew stronger and became a rock on the Green Fork that could not be washed away.

Now, no one in the entire northern border has thought about what they should do when the bridge really blocks them, but Clay, who knows that war is bound to break out and must prepare early, came to this fort in person, thinking Look for its weaknesses.

Clay and the others were located at the castle on the east bank of the Green Fork River, where the main castle of the Frey family was also built, so Clay decided to look from the east gate.

Clay doesn't know much about military affairs, but it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't understand. On the way here, during the chat, Clay has roughly understood how to break through a fort from the captain of the guard, a veteran who participated in the usurper war. Approximate way.

The Frey family has always sent people to guard the entrance of the Mandalay family resident where Clay is located. Seeing Clay come out, this small man, who Clay can't name, immediately leaned forward, with a big smile on his face. With a smile on his face, he asked:

"Master Clay, where are you going?"

After glancing at this little character whose name Clay wasn't interested in knowing, Clay replied to him lightly:
"Go around the city wall, you don't have to follow us, I believe that under the sun, as long as I stay here, there is nothing that the Marquis doesn't know, right?"

Patting the embarrassed member of the Frey family, Clay led his guards towards the city gate.

The small fortress was actually very lively. Various small vendors put their goods on both sides of the road, yelled loudly, and sold some strange things that Clay couldn't even recognize.

Occasionally, soldiers wearing the coat of arms of Frey's Twin Towers are not difficult for these peddlers who occupy the road. It's not that they are kind, but the entrance tax at the gate of the city has made these guys' mouths full of oil, and they look down on them. Poor bastard.

Pretending to let the guards go to the side stalls to buy some things, Clay, who came to the gate of the city, stood aside, looked over the crowd, and carefully looked at the east gate of Twin Rivers City.

This is a black steel gate, each of the thick steel bars is wider than the thickness of Clay's calf.

On the outside of the steel bar, there is also a black oak door. Clay noticed this door when he entered the city. It is not so thick, and it seems that it does not provide a good defense.

But in a war, the attacking party must completely destroy the wooden gate before they can attack the fine steel gate behind it.

After watching it for a long time, Clay came to the conclusion that there are two solutions to solve this gate. The first is not to let it go down, or someone pulls it up during the siege.

This is actually a problem, that is, how to arrange the person who controls the gate to be in this position at the beginning of the war.

Clay thought of his White Sea Guard. Perhaps, this is the direction of their work in the next stage. It just so happened that Clay also asked the White Sea Guard here for some information.

The second way of thinking is not to solve the gate itself, but to cross it directly. As long as the army can surround the city for a long enough time, Clay can find enough craftsmen to climb over the gate from the ground. There are such craftsmen in White Harbor.

But this method takes time, and if the military situation is urgent, this method can only be left behind as an option.

If only I had a few mammoths, if there is that thing, just pull it away, how can there be so much trouble, Clay muttered in his heart.

Picking out some things I like, each of the guards of the rich man in Baigang carried his own things, and returned to Clay one after another.

When the last person came back, Clay nodded, appraised their shopping vision, and led them up the city wall.

In the past, when he patrolled the city of White Harbor, apart from the endless ocean, there were busy sailors and bustling citizens in front of Clay.

As for the city wall here, for some reason, Clay always felt a decayed and uncomfortable feeling, not only because of the twin tower flags flying on the top of the city, but also because of the moss that covered the gaps between the city bricks.

The moisture brought by the Green Fork has completely corroded the castle, making it wet all over.

On the city wall, Clay accidentally found a man he had met at the banquet yesterday, the third son of Lord Walder Frey, Ser Aenys Frey.
