Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

In the upper reaches of the Blue Fork River, the water is fast, but the river channel is very narrow.

In the entire upper reaches of the Blue Fork River, there is only one ferry that can cross the Blue Fork River to the east.

There, it's called the Beauty Collection.

Without going into the origin of this name, you just need to know that there is the current target of Clay's army.

After two days and nights of fighting, Clay's troops were already ahead of John Royce, who was following him, by more than a day's journey, and this was considered a safe distance for the pure cavalry lineups of both sides.

However, when you spread out the map of the Riverlands, you can see that in the Trident River Basin, the distance between each river is actually not that big, which makes the fleet's shifting movements cause trouble.

Therefore, if Clay wants to completely make Yon Royce completely dizzy, he must do one more thing.

A day's lead is not enough, there must be more. After all, Clay must buy enough time for the main army in the east to move south. It is best that before they are in place, John Royce's valley army , has been lingering north of the Red Fork River.

Clay must admit that the adaptability of people who have never fought in a war to those who have been on the battlefield and survived is completely different from the sky to the earth.

There are 9,000 people in the Eastern Legion, 7,000 of whom are new recruits. Among these 7,000 people, there are 3,000 unorganized and undisciplined savage troops who fight only with brute force. Clay is very clear about the specific combat effectiveness.

Therefore, this army cannot be used for offense at all, especially when facing the well-equipped Valley Cavalry Legion. They will be pulled back and forth, exhausted, and then divided and surrounded.

There is only one way to exert their power, and that is to force the enemy to actively attack them, and they take advantage of their numerical advantage, organize their formation, and use resolute defense to counterattack.

Looking at the entire battlefield in the Riverlands, only Earl Harroway's town meets the requirements. It is said that the enemy must be saved when attacking. However, before that, they must have enough time to build fortifications. , to prevent them from being defeated in a battle.

It took most of the day for Clay's forward to approach the Beauty Collection.

There was no one left in this riverland town at this time. After Robb Stark was defeated near Harrenhal, all the riverland nobles realized that something was wrong.

As a result, places like Meirenji, which had little defense capability but a large population, were completely abandoned, and all residents retreated to the nearest large castle to avoid the disaster of war.

Now, in Beauty Collection, a small town by the Blue Fork River, all the residents of the town have evacuated to the nearest Crowtree City.

When Clay's army arrived, not a single person could be seen outside the entire beauty gathering, but it seemed that was not the case inside the town.

…

"Master Clay, we have found out. There is a troop in the town. I found fifty-four people, but I am not sure if there are still people hiding in other places."

The witcher's bodyguard Krissen, who went to conduct a secret investigation, has returned.

After their team discovered someone in the town, they immediately passed the news to Clay.

Clay immediately ordered the army to stop. The Earl of Crowtree City once told him that there should be no one left in the beauty gathering. What happened to this group of more than fifty people who suddenly came out?

It couldn't be the enemy. That idiot Yohn Royce was frightened by his own scouts' strangulation battle, and he was still far away from him.

Therefore, when Clay heard that there was someone in the town, his first reaction was that the deserted Beauty Collection had been occupied by a group of bandits.

In this era of war and chaos, it is normal for bandits to appear. A few pieces of rotten armor and a few rusty swords can start a business. As long as you are familiar with the terrain and repel a few attacks from the lord, the lord will basically know how to do it. acquiesce to their existence.

This is the consequence of the lack of supreme power. The country does not have a standing army, and everything must be provided by the grassroots lords. Therefore, as long as the lords on the land are dealt with, it doesn't matter what the king thinks.

"Krison, can you tell who it is? Our whereabouts cannot be known to anyone. If they are bandits, we must destroy them immediately. We cannot let them become the eyes of the people in the valley."

Clay's tone was serious. This was not the time to show his kindness. If these people were really bandits or something else, as long as they were alive, their movements might be exposed. And this was Clay's Unaffordable price.

"Lord Clay... they seem to be soldiers... and if I read it correctly, it seems... there seems to be the Winter Sun flag of our northern border, but I'm not sure, that thing is dirty and rotten, I just looked at it perhaps."

Kerrison was hesitant. As a veteran on the battlefield, he had participated in several wars with Clay, and he could still distinguish the difference between bandits and soldiers.

Although in some cases, the soldiers were bandits, what Krissen saw was that this group of troops was heavily guarded and the camp was very organized. There were even a few obscure sentry posts. If he hadn't been a demon hunter, Can't even notice it.

This is definitely not something that a country farmer can do. If you have never been a soldier, you would not be able to do these things.

Moreover, Kerrison observed that these people did not seem to have lost their organization, and the shadow of the army could still be seen on them.

Upon hearing this, Clay frowned.

"Army? Winter Sun Flag?"

Couldn't this... be a remnant army of the Karstark family in the north?

He believed in the judgment of his personal guards. If he was not confident enough, he would not mention the pattern on the flag to himself.

Moreover, Clay has always found it strange that in the battle north of Harrenhal, Robb Stark led nearly 20,000 people. Although the Valley Cavalry successfully defeated them through night attacks, these were 20,000 people after all, and they could not be killed. Finished.

It's been so long, where has this defeated army gone?

"Get me a secret sentry, and at the same time, order the army to start encircling them. No matter who they are, we have to make arrangements near the beauty gathering."

"If they are our people, we will take them away. If they are bandits, we will kill them on the spot and leave no one behind."

"Yes! Lord Clay!"

The team of demon hunter guards who took the order quickly completed their mission, and a man wearing tattered armor and smelling bad was brought to Clay.

Kerrison and the others didn't ask him questions, they just used the Yaksi Sign to put him to sleep. If he wanted to ask specifically, he could only ask Clay, the commander of the army. They were just personal guards and knew their identities very well.

Nodding to them, Clay stretched out his hand, magic surged, and snapped his fingers in front of the man who was asleep due to magic.

After the influence of the magic power subsided, the man quickly woke up.

The first reaction when he woke up was that this guy jumped up from the ground. He touched the long sword at his waist, but found nothing.

Kerrison and the others had searched this man a long time ago. Although they knew that none of the five of them might be able to defeat Clay, this was what personal guards should do, and they never took it lightly.

After discovering that his waist was empty, the unkempt man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head and looked at Clay standing opposite him.

In an instant, his eyes were pinned by the golden halberd mermaid flag fluttering in the wind behind Clay.

Perhaps realizing something, the man ignored the black mud on his hands and rubbed his bloodshot eyes hard, finally seeing Clay's face clearly.

The next moment, the man knelt down, hugged Clay's calf, and cried loudly.

"Sir Clay...Sir, you are finally here, finally here! We...we are defeated, and our brothers are all dead!"

The man cried heartbreakingly. As the most proud soldiers in the North, they followed Clay all the way and were invincible. They dared to attack in the face of three to five times the enemy. However, such a powerful army was in a sneak attack and chaos. , died inexplicably.

This directly broke their spines. Seeing that their unarmed comrades who had just woken up were being brutally hacked to death by the Valley people, they were powerless and could only flee instinctively. Every time they thought about it, it was like a nightmare.

"You...are Karstark's cavalry, one of my subordinates?"

Clay asked.

The soldiers heard this and kept nodding. They left Clay at that time and headed south first. As a result, they were attacked shortly after reuniting with Robb Stark.

In addition to being cowardly, he is still cowardly!

"My lord, there are more than seventy of our brothers in the collection of beauties, Lord Rickard Karstark is also there. He is injured and lacks medical treatment. There is nothing in this place. My lord, I will take you there." To see him!"

The soldier suddenly thought of something. He stood up and pulled Clay towards the direction where he came from, but when he saw Clay wearing a fur cloak, his hands covered with dirt stopped in mid-air.

Clay did not embarrass him, nodded, and whispered two words:

"lead the way."
