Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Chapter 226 A large wave of new soldiers is about to arrive on the battlefield

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't know why Master Bran is unconscious. Such symptoms have never been recorded in the library of the city. I... really can't do anything. I can only pray to the gods to protect Master Bran. ."

In the main castle of Winterfell, Maester Luwin, who was wrapped in a gray cloth robe, let out a long sigh and stood up from Bran Stark, who was lying on the bed with a flushed face.

The old bachelor was somewhat bald, and as the heavy snow fell, his thin figure became more stooped. He bowed slightly and whispered to Kate, the matron of the North, who was sitting by the bed and holding one of Bran Stark's hands. Lyn Tully said something.

The sad-looking Catelyn Tully did not think that Maester Luwin was fooling her. This old maester was the maester here when Catelyn came to Winterfell.

All her children, except for Jon Snow's bastard, were delivered by Maester Luwin. Catelyn Tully was still alive and well after giving birth to so many children in such worrisome conditions. , Maester Luwin is indispensable.

Therefore, she knew very well that Maester Luwin would do his best to cure Bran's strange disease, but now, this Maester of Winterfell, whose neck was hung with chains symbolizing knowledge, said sorry to herself.

Thinking of her eldest son's life and death in the south, Catelyn Tully couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

According to the order of succession, once Robb Stark has an accident, Bran will be the second heir, so now he is the nominal guardian of Winterfell. After all, his brother is away at war.

But according to this situation, if Bran Stark cannot survive this cold winter, then the crown of the North will fall on Catelyn Tully's last son, Rickon Stark, who is now only five years old.

Catelyn Tully didn't dare to imagine what would happen. A king who would stand up to the Iron Throne and lead the entire Riverlands and the North towards independence would be only five years old.

Moreover, there is not even anyone around this king who can help him. He is just a female prostitute. It is okay to take care of Winterfell for Rickon, but once it comes to the leadership of the entire country, Caitlin Tully is very difficult. It is clear that I do not have this ability.

There is another question that Catelyn Tully wants not to think about, but has to think about. That is the army, or rather, the army that has been assembled in Winterfell and is about to be delivered to Clay Manderly. army.

She knew very well that her son Robb's defeat had nothing to do with Clay Mandler, but in the current situation, if Clay Mandler had other thoughts, there was nothing Catelyn Tully could do. .

As long as Clay Mandler marries his eldest daughter Sansa Stark, and then becomes cruel and directly causes Rickon Stark to disappear or die of illness, then Clay Mandler will Become the uncrowned king of the North.

What will happen next, Catelyn Tully no longer dares to think about.

She wanted to hold these troops in her hands that could still listen to Winterfell's orders, but she couldn't, because these troops gathered in Winterfell to go south to save the nobles and troops of the major families who might still be alive. .

Catelyn Tully must and can only send these troops to the Twins. She has no second choice.

Clay's departure allowed the Three-Eyed Crow, the agent of the Old God's will, to completely let go of his actions. Bran Stark is the person with the Green Vision and the best carrier of the Old God's power.

In the past, when Clay was in the North, the Three-Eyed Crow did not dare to make any move, because he found that once his magic power entered Clay's body, he would no longer be able to feel the magic power, but he understood very well that once Clay's magic power If you invade yourself, your only ending will be your complete demise.

Therefore, the Three-Eyed Crow never dared to directly disobey Clay's will. He sent dragons and offered help, just to find a way to send this evil star away. As long as he occupied the land in the south, it would belong to R'hllor. enemy.

As the lock that seals the cold god's southward movement, he is not one of R'hllor's faction, so he is in an awkward situation. If Clay can help him attract firepower, the Three-Eyed Crow will certainly be happy with it.

Therefore, after Clay left the north and went south to fight, he accelerated the pace of eroding Bran Stark. As long as he completely swallowed up Bran Stark's mind, then this body would be his brand new carrier. He also took the opportunity to control Winterfell and had the opportunity to encroach on the entire Northern Territory.

He is not interested in worldly authority, but with worldly authority, he can continue to devour members of the Stark family from generation to generation. After all, as the original ancient family, the blood of the Stark family is the best carrier of magic power. one.

"Soon, soon, Bran Stark's will has been loosened."

"Clay Mandler, the agent of the Ability God, I have no intention of being your enemy, and I hope you will fulfill your promise to me..."

The hoarse voice came from the tree hole outside the wall, and was immediately shattered by the snow and wind in the sky. However, the real voice followed the heart trees that were constantly shining with magic light under another view. , spread to the entire northern land.

The forces of the Old Gods have been operating in the North for thousands of years and have a deep foundation. If Clay hadn't suddenly appeared as a variable, their plan would have advanced faster than it does now.

The next demonic tide has arrived, and every creature that benefits from it must find its own position as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be completely swallowed by the surging demonic tide.

No longer willing, eight thousand second-line garrison troops with little combat experience, assembled by the last strength of the major families, also headed towards the Twins City under the leadership of Sir Roderick.

This is the last strength of the Northern Territory. If the current social system is not changed, this is almost the limit of the manpower that the entire Northern Territory can squeeze out. If it is forced further, the political situation of the entire Northern Territory may be turbulent.

The Twins have already received ravens from Winterfell and have prepared a garrison for these 8,000 people in advance.

At this time, Earl Weiman had to lament that if all 8,000 people were in place, the number of troops directly commanded by the Mandalay family would be almost 20,000.

This is a very magical number, which means that the Manderly family, holding the title of earl, actually has more troops than Stannis Baratheon, who is currently sitting on the Iron Throne, and Dorne. need more.

If all 20,000 people become Mandalay's troops in the future, the Stark family's position as King of the North should be given up as soon as possible, otherwise they will have to acquiesce to White Harbor and the entire Twins City. All became independent and formed a new kingdom.

There is nothing so outrageous. Only a king who has completely unified the seven kingdoms and sat on the Iron Throne can have this ability with 20,000 vassals.

Now he feels more and more that it was a wise decision to bring Wilfield back from Winterfell. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a hostage sent to someone else's mouth?

Before leaving, Clay told him the complete war plan. To be honest, the old man was worried about Clay.

After all, this plan is too bold, and the weak will defeat the strong everywhere.

Using two thousand cavalry to lure five thousand people into pursuit in the valley is like this.

The same goes for sending seven thousand new recruits who have never been on the battlefield behind the Lannisters and Valemen, waiting for them to attack.

The old man has gradually understood his grandson's military thinking. He never cares about the gains and losses of a city or a pool, nor does he focus on the battle situation of any army.

In his mind, he was always thinking about all of Westeros.

The purpose of attacking Lord Harroway's town was to force the army of the valley to return for reinforcements, and at the same time to put a thorn in the back of the Lannisters who besieged Harrenhal.

In this way, the 20,000 people in Riverrun can be liberated. As long as these 20,000 people move, the situation will immediately turn around.

As long as the 7,000 infantrymen in Lord Harroway's town can hold out long enough, by then, these 8,000 people and 4,000 cavalry will press down from the north to the south, and Edmure Tully's 20,000 people will approach from the west. , the initiative on the battlefield returned to his side, and he no longer had the passive situation after Robb Stark's defeat.

This is the true thinking of a commander. If you just fight hard and rush forward, you are a fierce general. Such a person will win a war, but when faced with someone with a thinking of a commander, he will be manipulated.

Moreover, the old man knew very well that in Dorne, there was another force that everyone might ignore, which actually belonged to him.

When they appear on the stage, it will be the last moment to decide who owns the throne.
