Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 73 The Return
"Master, why is your lord so anxious to let us go back to White Harbor? Did the letter say why?
The person who spoke was the captain of the guard, and he was also surprised by such a letter from Earl Wyman. It seems that this letter should have been sent directly from White Harbor to the Twin Rivers. The people in the Twin Rivers received the letter and chased him These people are here.

Calculating the time, they were many and their footsteps were slow. The two Frey family cavalry were half a day behind them. In other words, Earl Wyman's letter arrived at the Twins one day after they left the Twins. .

It didn't take long for the raven to fly from White Harbor to the Twin Rivers, but this showed a problem. Earl Wyman never sent such a letter without receiving their reply from the Twins.

"I don't know. Grandpa didn't say it in the letter. He just strictly demanded that we return to White Harbor as soon as possible. There is no negotiation."

Clay shook his head. He was also aware of the time issue. The appearance of this letter meant that as soon as the old man received the letter from the wolf cave about the attack on the caravan, he immediately sent a letter to call him back. white harbor.

He had a lot of guesses, but now he lacked the necessary evidence, and it was impossible for the old man to tell him these things in a letter. That would be tantamount to sharing information with the Frey family.

This letter disrupted his plan. He originally wanted to stay here for one night, and then went straight into the knight's residence after midnight, staged a gangster's entrance, and sent the Axii seal on his face, Ask which bastards are involved in this siege.

But now, he had to leave. The letter made it clear that he rushed eastward to the coastal port immediately. The fleet connecting him was already waiting for him. It could be seen that the old man was indeed in a hurry.

With a long sigh in his heart, he looked back at the tomb standing alone in the field, and Clay thought to himself: Next time I come back, maybe it’s time for me to lead my troops to the south, and I will deal with it at that time. The people involved here, He didn't intend to let it go.

Aenys Foyle, who was also present, looked at Clay who was standing there thinking. He knew that the other party was about to leave, and he recognized the other party as an ally. He also felt that this incident was too sudden, and everyone was caught off guard.

But it is impossible for him to ask to stay, because of the direct order of the patriarch of the Mandalay family, he thinks that the matter here can only be handled by him.

Putting his hand down from the overwhelmed beard on his chin, Aenys Foyle patted Clay's arm and said in a low voice:
"Master Clay, leave the matter here to me to deal with. After you send people from Baigang, I promise to let them bring back all the people here. Since it is Lord Wyman's order, then you can set off. .”

"However, Master Clay must remember the agreement between you and me. Your Excellency is still young, and I may already be in my 50s. I can't wait."

Knowing what he was talking about, Clay came back to his senses and asked him back:
"So, Ser Aenys Frey, when are you going to start your plan? Such a benevolent plan is very complicated, and you have to be ready."

Aenys Frey put his hand on his beard again, he nodded with a smile, his voice was very low:
"Of course, Lord Clay, when the time is right, you will know. However, this time you will visit White Harbor, but you want to persuade your grandfather to make a marriage contract for our two families."

Clay smiled and didn't speak any more. He made a marriage contract, just wait, be patient, wait a little longer.

I don't know what happened to White Harbor, and Clay didn't want to procrastinate. He got on his horse and carefully inspected this piece of land where a whole White Harbor caravan once died. Nostalgia, immediately turn the horse's head, beat the horse and go east.

……

The target this time is the small port where Clay landed last time, about southeast of Clay and his party, and the journey is about three days to less than four days.

This is the fastest way to return to White Harbor. If you take the King's Road all the way north, and then go east after passing Cailin Bay, it will take ten days and a half months, which is a waste of time. It's better for Ray to waste as little as possible.

Clay deliberately followed the traces left by the mysterious forces ambushing in the east, and chased eastward for a certain distance, but it was obvious that after these people deliberately made some footprints, horseshoe prints, and ruts, they entered the woods and wiped out all these traces. erased.

Even Clay's demon hunter senses couldn't track their direction, and this just shows that these people are definitely not bandits, because such professional techniques are simply not something that some stragglers can have.

"Young master, there is no way. We lost our heels, and our subordinates went out to look for them, but we didn't find any trace."

The captain of the guard said helplessly to Clay that he punched the nearest tree trunk and smashed off a small piece of dry and cracked bark. After tracking for so long but lost it, he was very annoyed but helpless.

"Forget it, for this account, we will always find someone who owes it, but this is not what we have to consider now, let's go, go through this forest as soon as possible, I don't like the smell here."

……

The way back was lackluster. The first half of the trip was okay, but the second half went in an unexpected direction. First, I was shocked to hear that the Baigang caravan was intercepted, and I rushed to the scene starry night, but found a hidden mystery inside.

After some searching, I finally found some clues. I was just about to look for an opportunity to investigate, but was recalled to Baigang by an urgent letter. It is really embarrassing and regrettable.

At dusk on the third day, Clay finally arrived at the shore with 200 cavalrymen under his command. At the same time, he saw four galleons moored in the port, two more than when Clay came.

There were some people standing on the port. When they saw Clay and the others, they immediately rushed over on horseback. The two sides approached quickly. The fluttering mermaid flag proved that both parties belonged to the Mandalay family.

When Clay saw who the leader was, he was stunned:
"Sir Marlon?" He whispered to himself. Clay didn't expect that he would cross the Bite Bay to pick him up. According to his visual inspection, there were at least a hundred people standing on the pier and on the boat. What is he doing?
When he got close, Sir Malone immediately asked:
"Clay, did you encounter anything on the road?"

Clay was taken aback by what he said, something happened?What happened?
Shaking his head, Clay rode his horse and walked side by side with Sir Marlon towards the pier, and said:

"No, the journey went very smoothly. We received the news in the south of the Neck, where the caravan was attacked, and immediately headed for the port. We arrived in three days."

"That's good," said Ser Marlon muffled, and Clay noticed that he seemed slightly relieved.

"Sir, what happened, Grandpa is so anxious to ask me to go back?"

Knowing that Clay would ask such a question, Sir Marlon sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Don't ask, your grandfather will tell you when you go back. Now, get on the boat first. Only when you stay in the army can I truly rest assured."
