Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

"Who said I want to fight them? Lord Karstark, I never underestimate my opponents. After all, this means that I also underestimate myself. I think you understand what I mean."

Clay looked at Rickard Karstark strangely and said in a strange tone.

Lord Rickard Karstark was a little dazed. He didn't quite understand what Clay meant, and Clay didn't explain that much to him. He wasn't needed at this stage. He had to wait until Clay crossed the Red Fork River again. Say it again.

"My Lord Earl, your task now is to heal your injury quickly. Since you want revenge, you can't even do it if you don't have the strength to ride a horse."

Clay said calmly and said nothing more to Rickard Karstark. He had to hurry up.

The army headed west, and after walking a considerable distance, they immediately turned around and headed south. ,

The reason why Clay went a certain distance to the west was to ensure that he would not bump into the valley people who were following him, who looked like turtles crawling on him.

In the past few days, through the confessions of the prisoners, he already knew that the person chasing him was Yohn Royce from Runestone City. This old boy has always been fanatically interested in participating in the war in the valley. With the east of the valley and Haiou Town, he just wanted to Doves in business are two extremes.

The last raid, apart from Littlefinger giving him the opportunity, was also the result of his push. If everyone in the valley didn't want to fight, it would be useless even if Littlefinger held Robert Arryn hostage.

…

A day and a half after Clay left the Beauty Collection, Yon Royce, who realized something was wrong, arrived belatedly. When the scout troops suffered heavy casualties, his team became a blind man on the battlefield, and they had to be careful every step they took. .

Although there are plains as far as the eye can see, there are still low hills and dense woods. In the view of John Royce and his subordinates, every jungle may hide an ambush, because if it were them , they will do this.

Therefore, wherever he went, Yohn Royce could only send people to check in carefully. Only after he found it safe, would he speed up and leave. He wanted to give up this idiotic chase countless times, but in the end he couldn't give up.

The reason is very simple. If he lets these two thousand people go (in his own opinion), according to his analysis of Clay Mandler, this young man will go directly north to attack Count Leonor without any moral ethics. led troops.

Ravens are suitable for point-to-point contact. For two mobile cavalry units on the battlefield, it is impossible to give advance warning. If he really followed his idea, Clay Mandler led a surprise attack with his two thousand men. Leonor, who was unprepared, had great fun.

As long as he defeated the two thousand men in Count Leonor's hands, he also lost the trace of Clay. When he opened the map of the Riverlands, everyone knew that Clay Mandler's troops would become more powerful from now on. Swimming in the sea, no one knows where I am.

Not to mention what kind of punishment he will suffer if he loses the battle, Yon Royce is confident that Littlefinger will not do anything to him, but the problem is that if this happens, the battle will be completely ruined.

Again, there are only 10,000 of them, which is a very dangerous number. Now 5,000 people are still stationed under the three eastern cities to watch the people inside, which cannot be moved.

The remaining two thousand men of Leonor were defeated. Even if they could escape a few, it would have no effect on the overall battle situation.

In this case, do you expect Yohn Royce to use three thousand cavalry to guard the entire Red Fork River from west to east to ensure that Clay Manderly will not cross the river at any point to go south?

What kind of hell are you kidding?

At this time, Yohn Royce had already vaguely felt that when Clay Mandler, a young man, split up his troops at the actor's beach crossing, he probably did not flee in a hurry at all, but made up his mind to trick him, an old man. Comrade.

He was forcing himself to divide his troops, and his goal was to capture them all. Therefore, this boy dared to divide his troops boldly, and led the largest unit to follow him on the banks of the narrow Blue Fork River and Red Fork River. circle.

Although he was extremely annoyed, Yohn Royce had to admit that this kid was a difficult opponent on the battlefield and would be merciless in his attacks. If he hadn't concealed his whereabouts at all, he would have pursued him long ago. lost.

Previously, Yohn Royce heard that Jaime Lannister was annihilated by a little kid from the north with five thousand men, and he even laughed at the Kingslayer in Runestone City. But now, He understood Jaime Lannister somewhat.

To a certain extent, they are still comrades-in-arms, and maybe they can exchange experiences and experiences if they have the opportunity in the future.

"Let's go! Order the troops to speed up and stop spending time going through the woods where there is no one at all. I can see that after this kid blinded our eyes, he calculated that we will spend time on these broken woods. .”

"I didn't get what he wanted! He suddenly ran away to the north. Who didn't know that direction was the Beauty Collection? He wanted to cross the Blue Fork River and run away. I don't believe you are so slippery!"

John Royce complained to his deputy, clamped his legs, and kicked his spurs into the belly of the horse under his crotch.

The war horse was in pain and immediately spread its hooves and galloped forward.

The owner of Runestone City felt a fire in his heart. He had seen the red dragon flag on a black background flying over King's Landing, participated in the Usurper's War, and followed Robert to fight Balon Gray in Pyke City. Joey.

It can be said that he has extremely rich battlefield experience. He has fought in both victorious and defeated battles, and he prides himself on being the number one military officer in the entire valley.

They had just defeated Robb Stark's army. Although it was a sneak attack without any force, the winner on the battlefield was the king. They still won, and the 20,000 northern troops they fought fled.

However, immediately after, he collapsed under the three cities east of Riverrun and hit his head on the city wall, bleeding all over his forehead.

Later, the current chase occurred, which made him feel humiliated.

He felt that in addition to the superior numbers and better equipment on his side, everything on the battlefield was in the hands of that young man he had never seen before, which made him extremely aggrieved.

He would rather Clay Manderly had 3,000 people in his hands and have an upright duel with him, and the outcome would be decided in one battle.

She is like a daughter-in-law of King's Landing. She is posing in front of you, making you angry and wanting to pounce on her. However, the other party keeps swaying her butt in front of you and runs slowly, refusing to let you succeed.

Is this what an elderly person should bear? Do you really think that you are the Archbishop of King's Landing and that you are not afraid of meat and fish?

…

Kerrison completed his task well according to Clay's instructions. As the person who personally cut off the aftermath and cleaned up the traces of Clay's large army leaving, he led the people and paid no attention to every detail.

This kid was so weak that five hundred people crossed the river. Originally, according to Clay's wishes, it was enough to have a thousand people running north. But it turned out that this kid was so efficient that he actually organized two groups of one thousand people and headed towards the river. There were traces of running in two directions.

Sure enough, the effect was outstanding. When Yohn Royce rushed to the Beauty Collection as fast as he could, seeing everything in front of him, the old count's blood pressure was so high.

Veins burst out on his forehead, which was covered in hot sweat, because he discovered that Clay Mandler was still playing this trick with him.

He divided his forces again!

Yoon Royce kept cursing in his mind that this old guy, Wyman Manderly, didn't teach his grandson well. How could he play like this? Isn't this going to... force him, a poor old man, to death? ?

Soon, the soldiers who explored the path brought back the news. The traces of two thousand people on the other side of the river were divided into two groups. One group was heading northwest to the location of Twin River City, and the other group was heading south with an unknown destination.

"Clay Mandler!"

With everything in front of him, Yohn Royce felt that he would explode if he took one more look at it.

It would be easier to drive Clay Manderly to the Twins, because that place is too far away from the main battlefield. Even if he makes another move in the future, Yorn Royce will be able to do it with just a little arrangement. Know the news in advance and respond accordingly.

But now, this kid gave him another big problem.

The way to the north is directly towards Count Leonor when the troops were first divided. As for the way to the south, if we find another ferry on the Green Fork River, we can directly hit the valley army with one stick. It went into my heart.

After taking a few deep breaths of the cold autumn air, Yohn Royce suddenly felt a slight chill on the top of his head.

Is it raining?

He looked up, only to find that in the gloomy sky, snowflakes had begun to drift from unknown time.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the Stark family's clan language:

"Winter is coming."

Involuntarily, he shuddered.
