Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Chapter 229 Preparation for the Second Battle

"Kneel down!"

Kerrison flew up and kicked Royce Cowart hard on the leg.

The huge force caused the pampered baron to kneel down in the bloody mud mixed with snowflakes.

Clay's bodyguard almost broke his knee with this kick, and Kerrison's attack was very dark.

Instinctively screaming twice, Royce Cowart was about to continue howling, but the sword before the blood dried was already placed on his neck.

Looking around, the Baron shuddered as he was stared at by the cold eyes around him.

He suddenly realized that these guys might really kill him.

If it weren't for the shouts of his own guards when he fell off his horse, which revealed his status as a noble, he would be a dead man now.

"Shut up! If you scream again, I will kill you."

Krissen's voice sounded like it was coming from hell, and it was even colder than the snowflakes hitting Baron Royce Cowart's face.

After glancing at the evil-behaving valley noble on the ground, Clay ignored him.

With a hint of approval, he looked at Kristen who was covered in blood and mud, and said with a smile:

"Not bad Krisen, very good. We wiped out all 300 people in the valley in one battle, and only a few slipped through the net. I'm very happy."

Kerrison was also very happy. He followed Clay to fight and found that his master had never fought a head-on battle. He could always use everything he could and always put himself in an advantageous position.

Raid, Raid, Raid, every time it is beyond the opponent's expectation.

The divine soldiers descended from the sky to attack the opponents who were not yet stable and lost their organization in panic. Then they were like fish on a chopping board, being slaughtered by Clay's cavalry with their long swords.

Once is a fluke, twice is good luck, but three or four times is not the case.

This is Clay's secret to winning without ever losing on the battlefield. It is very simple and can be described in just one sentence, but to actually do it, it is extremely difficult and impossible.

Clay, who was sitting upright on his war horse and wearing a thick gray-black fur cloak, had been fighting for so long and had no time to take care of himself. The beard on his face left no trace of childishness on his face.

"Krison, I'm glad you won."

After a pause, Clay continued:

"I will leave these five hundred people to you. Now, go and help and clean up the battlefield first. The cavalry armors of the Valley people are all good things. It would be a pity to leave them to them."

"Yes sir!"

"Also, after you are done with this matter, bring someone to help control the horses."

"Sir Clay... forgive me for overstepping my bounds. We have controlled the horses. We can't stay here. We can't keep watching these thousands of horses."

Clay nodded. This is why he chose Kristen among the five demon hunter guards. This kid has a lively mind and dares to think. This is a rare thing in the current situation.

"Well, that's it. So, after arranging the horses, I want you to take the horses to Earl Harroway's town, where Sir Malone has led an army of nine thousand to garrison."

"Although this road is all plains, there is no force that can threaten us. Remember, go back quickly. After handing the horses to Sir Malone, tell him to send people to send the horses to the Twins City. Then, you take over two thousand of our Mandalay family’s cavalry and bring them over to me.”

Clay's words were long and contained many commands, but Kerrison still understood them.

Send the horse to Earl Harroway's town, bring the message to Sir Malone, and then come back with two thousand cavalry. This is what he has to do, simple and clear.

In fact, Master Clay can do this by himself, but he is not confident that he alone can use the remaining more than a thousand people to block the three-city garrison who are facing a powerful enemy and may counterattack at any time.

Kristen understands and has no dissatisfaction.

"I understand, Master Clay, I will go now and complete your order as soon as possible!"

Kristen refused to waste a moment. After bowing to Clay, he immediately mounted his horse and roared away with the people.

After he left, Clay turned his attention to Baron Royce Cowart, who was kneeling on the ground, with snowflakes already falling on his shoulders.

"I'm a very talkative person. If I ask you an answer, if you don't answer or answer randomly, I'll chop off your head. How about that? It's fair, right?"

Clay's smile was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, but even this slight smile was no more than a devil's smile in the eyes of Royce Cowart.

"Okay... okay, Master Clay."

The Baron of the Valley's throat was rolling hard, and the threat of death made him tremble all over, like a clown.

"very good."

Clay nodded slightly. He didn't want to encounter a hard bone, because chewing on a hard bone would be troublesome and he was too lazy to do so.

"Then, let me introduce myself first. Baron from the valley. I'm sorry, but I don't know which family your coat of arms corresponds to. My heraldry is not good."

Clay seemed to be criticizing himself, but his words made Royce Cowart's face turn red.

The meaning behind these words is, who are you? I have never even seen this coat of arms.

This was an insult, a naked insult. In the past, Baron Royce Cowart might have argued with Clay in order to defend his family's honor, but in front of the shining sword, he had no idea at all.

Weakness is the original sin. You are weak, so you can't protect anything.

"I am the Baron of Coldwater, Royce Cowart."

No matter how panicked he was, when he introduced his title and name, the results of thousands of times of practice made him speak smoothly, not at all like the ugly stammering just now.

"Well...Cowart family, Coldwater City, okay Baron, I understand."

Clay nodded, but he did not show any dignity to the Valley Baron.

"Now, I want you to tell me about your military arrangements under Shili City. I don't believe you don't know. Remember, this is your only chance. Believe me, I have a way to verify the authenticity of what you said."

For Clay, just drag him down, and when there is no one around, just shoot the Yakshi Seal and it will be over. But now, he is the God of War in the North that attracts everyone's attention, and is the backbone of these thousand cavalry. If he does this again If you do it, people will inevitably overthink it.

Ask first, the best thing you can ask. If you find out that this guy has something to hide, don't blame Clay for putting him in a dark room and dealing with it properly.

"Ah I……"

Royce Cowart instinctively wanted to refuse, evade, and hide, but when he saw the half-smiling expression and those unwavering eyes, he was afraid.

He was not sure how much the Northern God of War, who had descended from heaven with his divine weapons, knew about his side's arrangements under the Three Cities.

Although Royce Cowart felt that there was a high probability that Clay didn't know about it, but what if it happened?

He is just a small baron, and he has no loyalty to the entire valley.

In the current situation, don't Yohn Royce and the big nobles in the valley who led the troops have no responsibility?

If he lost his life because of his ridiculous loyalty, he would be a complete fool.

All nobles are the same, they come first, then their family, and finally, others.

With his thoughts clear, he gritted his molar teeth and Baron Royce Cowart said:

"Lord Clay, since I have been defeated, I will use the intelligence of the three cities in the Riverlands in exchange for the opportunity to exchange my life for a ransom. What do you think?"

Clay nodded and smiled:

"A reasonable request."

Now that I'm planning to say it, it means that the person in front of me is not stupid, and I am not a murderer, so let's keep it.

"Lord Clay, that old guy Yohn Royce has left a siege force of two thousand people under Stonehedge City."

"You should know that they have given up their war horses and have switched to infantry attacks. They have lost some intermittently during this period. I don't know exactly how many, but there are always more than two hundred."

"continue."

"There are more than a thousand people left. I just went over to ask for supplies from them the day before yesterday. They divided the city into two camps, one on the north side and one on the west side. The one on the north side is the original camp. Most of the people inside are with them. Yohn Royce is coming after you."

"The ones on the west side probably haven't moved. I estimate there are at least 1,200 people inside, but I can't guarantee the exact number."

Clay thought about it in his mind, and one camp in the north and one in the west was a way of camping that suited the valley people.

To the south is the direction of Acorn Hall, and there are also garrison troops in the valley. As for heading east...

The people in the valley deliberately left the east side open for you. How dare the people in Shili City escape from the east side?

Remember, Riverrun is to the west. If you run east, you are looking for death!
