Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

"Surrender ceremony?"

Yohn Royce could hardly believe his ears, and the guards around him were stunned after hearing this.

It is reasonable to say that they are already defeated and at the end of their rope, but now, they are still among thousands of people. Although they have experienced hardships along the way, they have not been defeated. How can they be discussed in a surrender ceremony?

Even if it means surrender, surrender to whom? Surrender to Clay Manderly?

Waking up from this absurd feeling, Yohn Royce felt a huge humiliation that almost made him lose his mind.

It was obviously him, Clay Mandler, who was besieged by his own army in Stonehedge City. How dare he say that to himself?

Yohn Royce suddenly turned his head, staring at Garland Mandler in front of him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

This kid had a relaxed and indifferent expression on his face, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all. He was also a little narrow-minded, which reminded Yohn Royce of another guy who he also disliked.

"Boy, think about your words carefully before speaking. If your tongue cannot speak, I will use my sword to help you!"

Yon Royce's suppressed voice of anger, like a landslide, made Garland Mandler feel happy, because he realized that the Earl of Runestone City in front of him was more easily irritated than he thought.

His eyes swept over the faces of Yohn Royce and the guards around him, and found that these guys' faces were flushed, and they were almost on the verge of being unable to bear it.

This is not possible. If the time is too short, the effect will often be poor, and the stimulation brought in the end will not be enough. You can’t just do it all at once.

So, Garland Mandler was about to change his posture and continue chatting with these guys. He said:

"Master Clay sent me here because he believes that you are all reasonable gentlemen who can communicate."

This sentence was spoken by Clay Manderly's envoy, which was quite useful to Yoon Royce and his gang.

If you can speak, speak more. Please continue!

"Before, you were despicable and launched an unprovoked sneak attack on my northern army, causing His Majesty Robert to still be trapped in Harrenhal."

The facial muscles of the Valley Knights that had just relaxed suddenly tightened again. They were pointed at their noses and scolded for being despicable and shameless. They could not refute because it was indeed not done in an honest way.

Garland Mandler continues to output:

"So, in response, Mr. Clay led the troops to transfer you idiots away from Shili City, and then easily defeated the shrimp soldiers and crab generals stationed under your city. Just two days ago, the Grafson and Lindley families of the West Camp reported to me The army surrendered."

At the end of the conversation, I didn’t mention a word about you, Yon Royce, but the word “cai” that couldn’t be concealed inside and outside the words hit everyone who heard these words. of valley people.

Yohn Royce was in a daze. He couldn't understand. Is the young knight in front of him really not afraid of death? Clay Mandler sent him here. Did he have the sincerity to negotiate? Is this intentional to make yourself angry?

Garland Mandler's little mouth wanted to continue talking, but he suddenly saw the distorted face of the Valley Cavalry opposite, and someone had already drawn the sword from his waist.

Okay, this posture seems to have reached its limit. I can't continue it any longer. I have to change postures and take a rest.

Garland Mandler obviously understood this well, so he tactfully shut his mouth and waited for the opponent, Yoon Royce, who was almost confused, to start his round.

Yohn Royce's reasonably well-haired head thought urgently for a long time. Before he was almost completely burned out by anger, he finally remembered that his son was still in someone else's hands.

He finally understood why a young knight from the Mandalay family dared to be so arrogant. If it were him, if he had caught Robb Stark and brought him to Winterfell, he would probably look so disgusting. Tone.

Gritting his teeth and holding it in for a long time, he finally ensured that he could speak normally. Yohn Royce took a few deep breaths, stared at Garland's face that was still full of ridicule, and said coldly:

"Boy, put aside your despicable thoughts. I will not be easily angered by you... Now, tell me carefully, how can Clay Mandler let my son back?"

Garland Mandler saw that Yorn Royce was about to overflow just now, and now he was able to suppress it. He couldn't help but look at the Earl of Runestone City. In response to his question, Garland tilted his head. , chuckled and said:

"How about you Valley people hand over all your war horse armor and walk back to the Blood Gate, and we promise not to engage in sneak attacks like you?"

"You...are arrogant!"

John Royce almost got mad again. Originally, if he was calm and in a state where he had the upper hand, these words would not make him so angry, but now after a long journey, his condition is already poor, and in addition The eldest son fell into the enemy's hands and his life or death was unknown.

The threshold for enduring anger is much lower than before. It is easy to get high when someone teases you a little bit... ah no, it is easy to get angry easily.

"Lord Yohn Royce, you just said that you won't be easily angered, right? Why did you break your promise so quickly? Oh, by the way, Lord Clay asked me to convey a message to you, Lord Count."

Looking at Yoon Royce's suddenly raised eyebrows, Garland Mandler showed an unusually regretful expression on his face, and he said:

"My Earl of Runestone City, Lord Clay Mandalay wants you to know that your valley people's logistics base, Earl Harroway's town, is already in the possession of my Mandalay family."

When he said this, the tone of Clay's personal guard was full of sympathy, as if he felt the same thing, but he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the people in the valley opposite him turned pale in an instant. They knew too well the importance of Earl Harroway's town, and they couldn't afford to lose it.

When Yoon Royce heard this, his eyesight went dark and he almost fainted. He was not sure whether Clay Mandler was deceiving him, but he thought of Mandler who had never appeared on the battlefield. The heart of the family cavalry keeps sinking.

This was actually a mistake caused by a gap in information. When the army of the valley came out in full force, using Earl Harroway's town as a base, and then attacked Robb Stark, they didn't know that the Mandalay family's cavalry did not Not in the Northern Army.

They thought they had wiped out the most powerful force in the North. After defeating Robb Stark, they immediately began to attack the Riverlands. Later, they interrogated the prisoners and found out that Clay's troops were not in the army. matter.

But the military arrangements had been made at that time, and both the Valley and the Lannister believed that the north would no longer pose a threat after this battle. Therefore, Earl Harroway's town was not fully fortified in the north.

They left two thousand people to garrison in the town, thinking that they could resist for a while. If they were really attacked, as long as they could send the news out, the valley cavalry that came and went like the wind would immediately return to support.

But the subsequent development of things has long deviated from their original assumptions, so that now, they realize that there is a real possibility that Earl Harroway's town will not be defended.

Yohn Royce swallowed hard and said without giving up:

"Just one word from you makes me believe it, too..."

Without speaking, he was directly interrupted by Garland Mandler. Clay's personal guard shrugged and smiled contemptuously:

"You can verify it as you like. We are just informing you. As for you, it has nothing to do with us."

"The conditions Master Clay gave you were actually not deceiving you. When you dared to attack us, you had to think of today's results."

The words stopped, and the scene became audible, with only the sounds of horses and human breathing.

Yohn Royce was trembling all over. It was not that he lacked determination. The town of Earl Harroway was lost, and the camp under Shihli City was also lost. His three thousand men could go around it and endure it. Escape back to the Blood Gate.

But what should we do with the more than 5,000 and nearly 6,000 people left? Some of them have lost their horses. Now it's freezing cold and there are no supplies anymore. Can they walk back to the Blood Gate?

Even if Clay Mandler's cavalry didn't take action, the suddenly cold weather alone would be able to keep at least half of the six thousand people here. Once these people are gone, the valley will be completely finished.

The inefficient social management system has resulted in each family having only so many elites. It is a one-time deal. If they lose all in one battle and cannot continue, they will have no choice but to surrender.

This is especially true in the Valley. They are famous among the Seven Kingdoms for their cavalry, which is the most difficult to train. This dispatch of troops was originally carried out by force against various opposition forces. If this was a defeat, he, Yon Royce, would bring his own cavalry. Thousands of people fled back, leaving the armies of other families in the wilderness to be slaughtered. You can know what will happen with your toes.

Yohn Royce suddenly realized that the conditions given by Clay Mandler might not really be an insult to him. They could allow these nine thousand troops scattered all over the country to return to the valley alive. It was really the mercy of the northern army commander.

If he thought about it, apart from himself, it would be difficult for the remaining six thousand people to successfully see the Blood Gate Pass.

When Yoon Royce heard the news of the fall of Earl Harroway's town, his first reaction was to run away with his people. It was obvious that Clay Mandler was ready to make a big dumpling and put them all in it.

If they don't run away, they will be doomed.

But then, he realized that he could not leave yet, because as the commander-in-chief of the valley army, he had to be responsible for the unknown valley army elsewhere.

When they crossed the Red Fork River for the first time, Count Leonor's two thousand people had to be completely alone. If he left now, these two thousand people would definitely be surrounded.

"Lord Clay also said that if the earl has not thought about it, he can go south to find the rest of your army. He is not in a hurry, but don't not come. If you don't come, then there will be nothing in this world. There is no more Anda Royce.”
