Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 212 Prisoner Trading
(This chapter is a double-edged sword. I definitely don’t mean to look down on women. This is a helpless choice in war...you can’t say that about me.)
Clay's request reached White Harbor even before the letter to Winterfell.
Willis Manderly discussed with his younger brother who had returned from training the fleet at sea and decided to push forward with this matter immediately.
When the two brothers learned that most of the northern army was wiped out in the first battle, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
It just so happened that the prisoners were ready-made, and they were considered honest during this period. Of course, the dishonest ones had been killed by Clay and his two brothers long ago, so how could they be left here to let them jump up and down now.
As soon as Clay's letter arrived, Willis initially wanted to handle the matter slowly. After all, White Harbor himself had eaten 30,000 prisoners, and it was a bit unpleasant to put this matter on the table.
But now the situation is critical. Who can care about this or that? The first priority is to first pull out an army for Clay and send it to the Twins City quickly.
Then, a strange scene appeared in White Harbor. The guards of the Mandalay family posted notices in the streets and alleys of the city, stating that any single man in the city who came to the Lord's Mansion would be sent a woman home.
Of course, this comes at a price. Women can take it back, but they must save the seeds as soon as possible.
Why save seeds? Of course, let these people immediately take up arms and prepare to go south to help Lord Clay Manderly send them women.
The Willis brothers knew very well that if they didn't stay like this and went south to fight in the war but were unlucky enough not to come back, wouldn't this woman's hair turn gray?
Although the hit rate is a bit mysterious, as long as the scale is large enough, the results should be considerable.
What? You said the woman who took you back didn't cooperate with you?
Forget it, come back as soon as possible and distribute it to those in need. You can't even do this, so don't go south and embarrass Mr. Clay.
At first, the civilians in White Harbor were shocked and uncertain, wondering what on earth this family was going to do?
In fact, what they are thinking in their hearts is:
Is this a good thing?
Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible...
Because in the north, what is the most expensive thing is nothing else but people.
Although women are not as good at manual labor as men, they can do many jobs.
The conditions in the North are difficult, and most of the people are not wealthy, so it is impossible to develop a delicate female culture like that in the Reach.
Therefore, for the majority of bachelors in Baigang who cannot find a wife, sending a woman can not only solve certain problems, but also eliminate the need to spend money in pubs and become like-minded people.
They can also directly form a family and increase the overall income level. This is a good thing. At least in the memory of their generation, no noble in the entire Westeros continent has done this.
After the matter fermented for a long time, an impatient guy finally had the courage to walk to the gate of New Castle.
After asking, I found out that this was actually true!
As for the conditions, these wifeless bachelors think it is very reasonable. The lord wants to give it to them for free, but they dare not ask for it. It is too conscientious to send a wife to fight for the lord, okay?
Later, more precise information was revealed. These women were the savage prisoners captured by Lord Clay Mandler after he defeated the savage army outside the Great Wall.
Now, some people were a little hesitant to move forward. It was really because the impression of the savages in the entire northern border was really bad.
However, human beings always overestimate their ability to restrain desires, and there are always those who are bold and want to give it a try.
After being brought home, I don’t know what happened to him, but the next day the guy felt refreshed, loosened his belt, hummed an unpleasant ditty and came out of the house, and made his own comments to the onlookers.
It's not as unbearable as I thought, but my temper is a bit wild.
This woman seemed to be particularly afraid of the Northerners. If he threatened to send her back if he was a little more aggressive, the woman's grip on her pants would immediately soften.
In a word, as long as the husband's relationship is well established, everything will be easy.
In fact, this is not about how powerful he is, but because the Willis brothers have set such a rule for these women who have long been frightened by Clay. If they are too tough, they will be sent back, or they will be violent to men, no matter who it is. , directly pushed out and chopped.
Most of the words were meant to scare people, but there was no other way. The family was in urgent need of soldiers now, and the things that were supposed to be done little by little could only be done forcefully.
Don't mention that they are also human beings and have equal rights. This is war, life and death. You have to negotiate the rules with your opponent. Ed Stark is a lesson learned from the past.
As the first one enjoys it, more and more people follow him.
The Mandalay family said, first come, first served, you can choose. As long as you like the good-looking ones and can take them away, they are yours.
This became the last straw that broke the camel's back, so in just one week, about 6,000 savage women were taken away. Oh, it is no longer appropriate to call them savages.
As long as An An lives happily, has a child with the North, and changes his identity in the future, Clay and the entire Mandalay family will no longer regard them as aliens.
Time will dilute everything, including the memory of blood and fire.
Most of these six thousand people are young and beautiful. Of course, there are also some who have different interests. Brother Willis sighed and didn't care, as long as you guys come to report when the time comes.
Half a month later, only a dozen of the more than 6,000 people who had been sent out had returned. After confirming the reason, Willis was not used to those who still maintained their identity and were unruly, and he immediately saw blood.
When the appointed day arrived, more than 5,000 people gathered in the military camp outside White Harbor City. Of course, this was not too much for the huge population of White Harbor, but with such recruitment, the entire Vis It's probably Tello's first time.
There were hundreds of people who hadn't come yet. Willis sent people to look for them directly. There weren't many people who left false addresses but never showed up. Everyone was hanging out in White Harbor. When the Mandalay family freed up their hands, they would have to pay for them all. If you find out, the gain outweighs the loss.
As a result, in a very short period of time, the city of Baigang, not counting the surrounding affiliated villages, had an "army" of 6,000 people.
Of course, this set can only be played in White Harbor, because in other places, it will be useless no matter how much you send, because there are simply not that many people.
As for the equipment problem, Willis said that it is not a problem that can be solved with money. These people are just new recruits. They should first be given a stick to practice basic skills. Willis has already emptied the inventory of White Harbor.
It must be either the heavy armor of elite soldiers, or the mail armor that is particularly common in the north. The cost of this thing is much lower than that of full body armor. Starting from Clay's explanation before leaving Westeros for Essos, Mander The Le family has been preparing for it, and now it finally comes into use.
Willis has already packed the armor and steel weapons on the ship and transported them to Twin River City. He is only doing preliminary training here. As for more complete training, Clay, the front-line commander, must make the decision.
Wendel was worried that the entire White Harbor would be under huge security pressure because of this, because it was impossible to expect a group of people who grew up outside the Great Wall and had not lived in an aristocratic society to integrate all of a sudden.
Willis agreed with his younger brother. He also knew that these people would definitely have a series of problems after the war. For example, they were not married in a normal wedding, and there were also problems with their identities. In other words, in the north, they were inherently disadvantaged. , is incomplete.
What's more, they will be abused and live in misery.
But there is no way, this is the price.
From the day they chose to follow Mance Rayder, they had already embarked on a path of no return.
Clay is not a saint. He has no choice and cannot sympathize with these people. There have been too many tragedies in the world affected by the war.
The only thing he can do is to end the war as soon as possible. After all, the longer the war drags on, the more people will die.
In this troubled world, if you have time to sympathize with others, you should take care of yourself first, and don't wait until the blade falls on your neck before you feel regretful.
There is no way to narrate multiple perspectives at the same time. After all, this is not an NPC. It will not move while standing there. But it is quick. When big things happen later, it will basically return to the perspective of the protagonist. Don't worry, gentlemen, let me write slowly.
