I figured it out, this guy is the son of John Royce, the eldest son, the kind who can inherit the title.

Since this is the case, let's not kill it for the time being. After all, refined egoists can figure things out.

Killing this kid would turn him into more than a hundred kilograms of immobile organic matter, which could only be left in the ground to slowly rot, ultimately benefiting the nearby flora and fauna. Clay would not allow this to happen.

Now that Yohn Royce's precious son has been captured, Clay has one more card to check and balance him.

Anyway, he has an extremely flexible moral bottom line, as long as he can win.

At that time, a small dagger was placed on the delicate neck of the little boy named Anda Royce, and he shouted:

"Youn Royce, if you take another step forward, don't blame me for killing your son!"

Don't worry, according to the mentality of the nobles of this era, his heirs, especially the eldest son who is as precious as a baby, will definitely take advantage of the unlucky guy Yorn Royce.

If you don’t believe it, look at Tywin Lannister who dislikes his second son Tyrion so much that he has to borrow the help of others to find a way to deal with him. Once Jaime Lannister is captured, Tywin will immediately become silent. .

This is the truth. The eldest son is the heir of a family. The core of the core, apart from the head of the family, is him.

Clay imagined the scene in his mind and curled his lips slightly. He felt that it would damage his glorious image of being wise and powerful, so he decided to send a personal guard to do this for him.

Shaking the snowflakes off his shoulders, as he spoke, a very obvious white air was blowing out of his mouth. The weather was getting colder and colder.

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but in Clay's impression, the cold winter in the past didn't come so soon. The snowflakes in the north took a long time for several years before finally falling in the sky above King's Landing.

And now, it has just entered the 300th year of the Conquest Calendar. Why is it that the riverlands are so cold? It shouldn't be.

Clay didn't know how the seven countries would be affected by the cold air from the north under the original situation. There was no weather forecast.

But the temperature dropped so quickly, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

At least he remembered that the War of the Five Kings was almost over, and the southern girls were still dancing in thin gauze scarves.

According to the current trend, I'm afraid it won't be long before the girls in the Riverlands will have to wear long johns to dance. Oh no, they don't have anything like that...

It's not that Clay is procrastinating and putting his energy into useless places. In fact, the sudden drop in temperature has seriously affected the army's fighting, and the soldiers' condition has declined rapidly.

But the current battle situation did not allow Clay to stop. Robb Stark overturned his car in the most inappropriate place. As a result, he had to wipe the fool's ass as soon as he returned to the North.

The current series of wars is to force the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and rely on one's own micro-management to reverse the situation bit by bit. It depends on the opponent's level and willingness to cooperate with oneself, otherwise it will be over.

The news from King's Landing in the south has been completely cut off. Now the White Sea Guards that Clay deployed before have been completely blind in King's Landing. The last news is that the old lion led his army into the city to strengthen the city's defenses, and then Renly's army besieged the city.

From now on, no news will come out. After all, Tywin Lannister himself is surrounded like an iron barrel by Renly's army. It has been several months. What is the war situation in the south? Ray had no idea.

Now, Tywin Lannister has led an army to surround the remnants of Robb Stark at Harrenhal. For Clay, this can explain at least two problems:

First, major changes must have occurred in King's Landing. Otherwise, how could Tywin Lannister abandon King's Landing, such a large city with strong political significance?

After all, all the current kings and dukes are fighting for, isn’t that just an iron chair with thorns?

Second, the old lion and the entire Lannister family must not have suffered heavy losses. Otherwise, can the valley led by Littlefinger form an alliance with him?

Clay knows exactly what Littlefinger wants to do, so if the old lion is driven out of King's Landing, Petyr, the carrion vulture, will definitely pounce on the lion's body and peck at the lion's body.

Moreover, if the Lannister army was also defeated, how could they have the courage to besiege Robb Stark?

The current situation is that as long as the key point of Earl Harroway's town is defended, except for John Royce's 5,000-man and exhausted cavalry team, which still maintains its combat effectiveness, everything else in the valley is basically useless.

When the two thousand cavalry of his Mandalay family arrive on the battlefield, Clay can plan to launch a general attack on Yohn Royce's army.

After defeating the North Camp of Shili City, Shili City, the riverside fortress that had been besieged for more than a month, was actually freed from the siege.

The West Camp was a tortoise, knowing that he could not escape, and wanted to fight the trapped beast, but Clay did not get what he wanted. He turned around and led two hundred people directly into Shili City.

Stonehedge City is the castle of the Bracken family. It is well built. It is located on the great plains in the eastern part of the Riverlands. It has everything it needs, including sentry towers, stone walls, and arrow towers. The city walls are thick enough, otherwise it would not be possible. It's impossible to survive for so long with so few people.

Lord Janos Bracken, as the Earl of Stonehedge City, is a man whose fertility is affirmed by the gods. However, he is a bit unlucky. All five of his offspring are daughters. How to evaluate it? Statistically speaking, it is also the same. A kind of European emperor in a different sense.

Logically speaking, the current owner of Stonehedge should be his eldest daughter, Barbara Bracken. However, due to gender issues, the real owner of this castle is the illegitimate son of Lord Janos Bracken: Harry ·Hewen.

Illegitimate children also have human rights, when all of the father's offspring are daughters, or when there are no legitimate children at all.

A certain northern bastard expressed that he felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, when Clay led his army into Shili City, he was greeted by a good-looking boy.

"Thank you for your help to Stonehedge City. You drove away the disgusting eagle for us. Stonehedge City is open to you. Dear Lord Clay Manderly, I am Harry Rivers, my father. It’s Janos Blinken.”

Clay nodded and did not put on airs with Harry River. He did not need to gain respect from others in this way. In this world, power and blood are the only things that are awe-inspiring.

"Harry River, you are safe now. If Lord Blinken still has his family here, I can send someone to take you out of the city. The people in the valley will not have the guts to attack you."

Clay got off the horse, took off his gloves, and patted the shoulder of the young man who was firmly guarding Stone Fence City.

"I can't guarantee whether Stonehedge City will face another attack in the future. After all, Yohn Royce must be in a bad mood right now."

Clay smiled and had no intention of saying anything more.

Harry Hewen frowned, with a childish face full of doubts. He didn't understand the current war situation, and could only stare at the valley siege troops below the city on the city wall every day.

"Lord Clay, my father ordered me to guard Stone Fence City. Then I must complete my mission. This is my responsibility and my honor."

The young bastard's tone was serious, and it was obvious that he really thought so.

Clay nodded. He understood what Harry Hewen was thinking. In the past, he was not welcomed in the family because of his status as an illegitimate son. Now that the war has come, the illegitimate son has become the backbone of the family. He will not give up this opportunity. .

"Okay, I won't stop you, but I suggest you send your older sister or younger sister to Riverrun City, where there are 20,000 troops to protect them."

"Here, Master Clay, can't you protect them?"

Harry Hewen asked. He did not hold on and said that if he could protect it, the current defensive strength of Stonehedge City was only 300 people. This number of people was far from enough.

Hearing this, Clay was silent for a moment and replied softly:

"Boy, you and your Shili City are not that important. If necessary, I will definitely abandon this place if it is beneficial to me."

Clay's words were straightforward and cold, but they were the truth.

If the war situation changes, for example, the old lion gives up the siege of Robb Stark's remnants and attacks the west, how can Clay put himself in for a stone hedge city?

Everyone has their own responsibility. Harry River's responsibility is to defend Stonehedge at all costs. Clay understands this, so he respects his choice.

But he needs to make it clear to this kid that he can help as Count Janos Blinken's female family member, but only this time, the choice is yours.

The snow is falling harder, the temperature on the ground is already very low, and the snowflakes no longer melt.

Clay waited for Harry Rivers' answer.
