Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

As the saying goes, if you can't catch up with one step, you can't catch up with every step.

This is what hapless Yon Royce looks like now.

When he rushed to the foot of Shili City with all his strength, what he saw was the flag of the Blinken family still flying at the top of the city, and another, the golden halberd mermaid flag that made Yohn Royce grit his teeth.

Obviously, Clay Mandler had entered the city, so needless to say, the nearly two thousand troops he left outside the city must have been destroyed.

Seeing them approaching, the gate of Shili City had been closed tightly, leaving no chance for them.

Now, the snowfall that has lasted for more than ten days has finally stopped. The air is fresh and the visibility is excellent. Therefore, Yohn Royce can clearly see the situation on the top of the city from a distance.

The first reason why he came to Shili City was because he wanted to see with his own eyes what the two camps under Shili City were like. If Clay Mandler was really hindered by the two camps, then He was attacking from both sides.

The second reason is because his eldest son, Anda Royce, the successor of Runestone City, was placed in the Beida camp by him.

Originally, I wanted to take the boy to see the world and get familiar with the military figures, so that he could know what the battlefield is like.

The head of every big family will do his best to pave the way for his successor. This is an inevitable requirement under this aristocratic feudal system.

The eldest son will inevitably ascend to the throne. If he is a useless person who knows nothing, then the whole family will be affected.

At the beginning, he felt that it would be relatively safe to put his eldest son in the rear and go on an expedition with him. If there was a problem, who among the rebels would know whom.

As a result, except for running around in a big circle, nothing happened, and the place that I thought was the safest turned out to be a ruin in front of me.

"Lord Earl, my subordinates have just sent people to check. There are bloodstains everywhere in the Beida Camp. It has obviously encountered an accident. The West Camp seems to have encountered a fire. Now there are only scorched traces. I'm afraid... …”

The person who reported the report did not continue, because it was useless to say anything more now. The army under the city was finished. Now, it depends on what Yohn Royce decides.

To be honest, John Royce didn't care much about the fate of the Grafson and Lindley families in the Western Camp. He just didn't work hard and was not of the same mind as him. If he died, he would die.

But the heir was taken away by the other party, which was the really fatal thing.

Yohn Royce didn't believe that Clay would be stupid enough to kill his eldest son directly. That was the most useless approach.

Looking at the flags fluttering on the city wall, which seemed to be silently mocking him, Yohn Royce, for his incompetence, the Earl of Runestone City suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

With his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, Yohn Royce was struggling. He wanted to draw the sword directly and fight to the death with Clay Manderly, who was definitely in the city.

But the remaining reason told him that at this time, his army was at the end of its strength, and it was only supported by the anger of being played by Clay Mandler before.

The army only has the strength for the last battle. If this battle is defeated, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse. The essence of the Royce family will probably be lost. There is no way.

This cut made him continue to struggle, and the people in the city also responded in time.

The news that the Valley Cavalry had appeared outside the city soon spread throughout the city through the desolate sound of horns. Clay, who was enjoying lunch, was forced to stop communicating with the food and came to the top of the city with a frown.

Shili City did not have many winter clothes. During the long summers of more than ten years, these things were not used at all. Under the sudden drop in temperature, the huge Shili City could only scrape together enough clothing for two hundred people to keep out the cold.

Since this is the case, it is better not to send it, otherwise it will arouse the jealousy of other sergeants in the army.

But not being able to make the best use of everything was not in line with Clay's character, so he ordered that all thick clothes be distributed to the sergeants guarding the city to wear as work clothes. You can use them as long as you go to the city to guard, and take them off when you go out of the city.

The heir to the dignified Mandalay family now actually has to worry about a few thick clothes.

There was really nothing we could do, the sudden drop in temperature caught everyone by surprise.

Arriving at the top of the city, the snow on the city wall was melting little by little with the sun hanging in the sky.

Anyone with a passing passing in physics should understand that melting snow is colder than falling snow.

With white eyes spraying from his mouth and nose, Clay squinted his eyes and stared at the dark cavalry team outside the city, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Since you, Yohn Royce, want to see me so much, can I deny your wish? This is not in line with the gentlemanly style of Clay Mandler. After all, you have delivered it to my door, right?

On the wild black and white riverlands, Yohn Royce's horse team was pacing non-stop. They had no shelter and allowed the biting cold wind to take away the heat from their bodies.

Just when Yohn Royce was about to take a breath and send someone to negotiate with Clay to see if he could redeem his precious son in other ways, the sharp-eyed guard next to him suddenly pointed at the city head and exclaimed in shock:

"Lord Earl, look at the top of the city. That's Clay Manderly's flag!"

This guard has never seen Clay, so there must be a reason why he is so sure that this is his Clay Manderly banner.

Because this is a much larger flag than the small flag next to it. In the army, it is generally used as a gorgeous flag to command the central army. It is the symbol of the entire Mandalay family. Every time Clay goes to war, he will accompany him.

Yohn Royce also saw this huge golden halberd mermaid flag, and the anger he had just suppressed suddenly surged up.

During these days of going north, he dreamed of seeing this big flag appear in front of his eyes. However, now that this big flag appeared, it made Eoin Royce not happy at all, but only felt a deep feeling. humiliation.

At this moment, he saw that the tightly closed gate of Shili City suddenly opened, and a tightly wrapped cavalryman stepped out from the shadow of the gate on a dark horse.

The cavalryman, who carried a small flag with the Mandalay family symbol on his saddle, slightly urged the dismounted horse and ran towards Yohn Royce without fear.

Yohn Royce and the guards around him looked at each other, feeling a little surprised. Are they going to...negotiate with him?

In his heart, Yon Royce was eager to negotiate with Clay. Clay's operation really showed him off and made him never want to face Clay Mandler again.

If his precious son hadn't been in the hands of others, Yohn Royce would have turned around and gone south to pick up the troops in the remaining two cities. If he stayed here for a second longer, he would have lost.

"Let him come here and see what Clay Mandler has to say to us."

Yohn Royce stretched out his hand and pressed down on the guard beside him and raised the crossbow. Now the whole army could hardly hear the name Clay Manderly, but he had to negotiate with the people sent by this guy. The bitterness in it Only Yoon Royce himself understands.

The person who came out of the city to represent Clay was Garland Mandler, one of Clay's witcher bodyguards.

This kid volunteered to be the messenger. The last attack on the West Camp opened the door to a new world for him.

When going out, Garland Mandler thought about what Lord Clay taught him, and felt inexplicably happy.

However, seeing the dark group of people on the opposite side, and feeling the anger that even the cold wind could not stop from a long distance away, Garland Mandler cleverly shot himself a Quen Sign.

Well, Lord Clay said, self-preservation is always the first priority. Only by keeping a good body can you achieve more meritorious deeds on the battlefield in the future.

It's definitely not that he's a coward, absolutely not!

The horse came to the huge orange pebble flag representing the Royce family in Runestone City, and stopped about twenty steps away.

This is a distance that everyone can accept. If it is further away, communication between the two parties will basically rely on shouting. On the contrary, Royce and Garland Mandler will have to know whether the other party will take the opportunity to draw their swords. .

Yohn Royce frowned. He didn’t know who the person was. He had never seen Clay Mandler, but based on his experience, he told himself that although the person who came was related to Clay Mandler, is just as young, but it definitely can’t be him.

How can a coach come over and act as a messenger?

He waved his hand and motioned for his personal guards to come forward and ask the Mandalay family knight in front of him about his purpose.

The guard took the order, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and urged the horse to move forward.

After a while, the guard returned with an angry expression on his face because the cavalryman from the Mandalay family did not talk to him at all.

This kid named everyone and only negotiated with Yorn Royce, because he came on behalf of Lord Clay Manderly, and everyone else was not equal to him!

Biting his back molars, Yon Royce repeatedly told himself not to be angered. The situation was stronger than others. Clay Mandler stood on the wall and looked at him with contempt, and he could only Incompetent rage.

Taking a deep breath, Yon Royce said feebly:

"Let him come."

Garland Mandler enjoyed the eyes of the valley cavalry around him who wanted to tear him apart. He slowly approached Yohn Royce in the middle as if he were visiting a military parade.

As a result, Garland Manderly, who represented White Harbor and the Twins City, and Yohn Royce, who was the Earl of Runestone City, stared at each other in an extremely embarrassing atmosphere. Ken spoke first.

I don't know how long it took, but John Royce, whose eyes were sore, suddenly realized that he looked very stupid to do this with a young guy here.

Does he still want the dignity of the Earl of Runestone City? How can this be compared to a messenger staring here...

Eon Royce, whose mentality has been in a semi-collapse state recently, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took the lead in breaking the silence and said in a strong tone:

"Tell me your purpose, Clay Manderly's messenger."

Garland grinned. He felt a different kind of pleasure from bullying Yon Royce, but now it was time to do business, and he couldn't help but smile playfully.

He calmed down and thought about the principles of his mission that Clay had explained in advance:

"Garland, the purpose of your visit this time is to try your best to force Yohn Royce to attack the city. Don't worry, they don't dare to touch you. As long as you tell them that they dare to touch you, I will kill the Earl of Runestone City." His son is it."

So, Garland Mandler answered Yon Royce’s question:

"My Lord Earl, now, how about we discuss your surrender ceremony?"
