Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Now that Tyrell is obedient, the arrow that was originally intended to be shot at Highgarden City can naturally turn and head towards the Stormlands.

In fact, Garland Tyrell and Matus Rowan's previous worries about Kevan Lannister's escape were purely blind worries.

When Clay personally led his troops and stationed themselves at the position between Bitter Bridge and Green Valley City, the Western Army could not escape.

Because no matter how they ran, they were within the attack range of Clay's army.

What's more important is that you don't need to shoot a dragon crossbow to defeat the Dornishmen. Moreover, when Kevan Lannister led the army to escape, he abandoned all the baggage and all the troops were lightly equipped.

If Clay can't handle such an army, he should get off the chair that hurts his butt as soon as possible and don't get embarrassed by going up there.

As the one player who persisted in this line of chess until the end, he never took his eyes off the entire Westeros.

Originally, the army was stationed at Bitterbridge, and if Tyrell dared to make any move, he would go directly to Highgarden City along the Rose Avenue, forcing the Tyrell family to surrender the castle and kneel in surrender.

Now that the people of the River Bend have chosen to "submit" to themselves because of the variable Randyll Tully, then there is no need for him to take action against them for the time being.

Kevan Lannister climbed over the southern mountains of the Stormlands and appeared west of the mountains. Clay knew their location immediately.

After all, this is already the territory of the River Bend people. Although the mobilization ability of the lower class society under the aristocracy is rubbish, they still have certain administrative capabilities. It is not too difficult to collect intelligence.

This is why, before nobles go to war, some people are used to dealing with the civilians under the other party's rule before attacking the other party.

This is not about being bloodthirsty, but about weakening the opponent's recruiting capabilities and wealth when going to war, and preventing our own side from becoming a bug in the spotlight when operating in these territories.

The current Kevan Lannister has made this mistake, and he knows it, but he has no time to attack these common people of the River Bend.

He understood the urgent meaning conveyed to him by his brother's letter.

However, it was already too late.

…

The Reach.

Blue Boone River.

This east-west river is located in the upper reaches of the entire basin.

Therefore, its rivers flow very fast, and there are few places where the water is gentle and shallow enough for people and horses to cross.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to cross here, you have to go to the Long Table Castle downstream.

This was no problem in the past. When Kevan Lannister attacked the Stormlands, he came here.

But in this situation, the people of the Reach are on the opposite side of him. How dare he drag the army to Longtable Castle to cross the river?

Although the Lannister army is powerful, they are now desperate and alone. They have lost their baggage, and some soldiers have even thrown away their heavy shields and armor.

No matter how strong the combat power is, we must also pay attention to objective laws.

If they were entangled by the defenders of Long Table Castle and allowed the pursuers to catch up, then all the last twenty thousand elites of the Western Region would be lost here.

Kevan Lannister simply cannot bear this responsibility.

Therefore, he chose to forcefully cross the river on a river bank far away from the Long Table Castle.

When setting up a simple pontoon bridge, as for whether it was stable or unstable and whether anyone would fall into the water, that was no longer within his scope of consideration.

If he could bring most of the team back, he would have completed his mission.

"Quick, speed up, don't worry about the things in the water, you will die to pick them up."

Kevan Lannister stood at the end of the bridge, dusty and dirty.

If it weren't for his golden-red cloak, no one would associate him with the commander of the Western Army.

"Sir, we have already crossed the river by 10,000 people. The remaining 10,000 people will be able to cross the river before tonight."

The Earl of Deep Cave City was reporting from the side.

Kevan Lannister was not very happy when he heard the news.

After passing the Lamboon River and the Mander River, you can then go north to enter the land of the West.

It was already quite close to the royal territory.

He always felt strange, where was Clay Mandler?

This war seemed to have nothing to do with him from beginning to end.

His army seemed to have been stationary in King's Landing.

Even if it was the defeat of Dorne, an ally, he turned a blind eye. Even though he issued a statement that was similar to revenge, his unnecessary actions did nothing.

This shouldn't be the case.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered Kevan Lannister became.

However, just as he was thinking about it, a slight noise, accompanied by a slightly cold wind, penetrated his ears.

Subconsciously trying to capture the source of the sound.

However, Kevan Lannister's view was blocked by the slightly raised hill opposite.

Um?

Does the sound come from behind the hills?

Kevan Lannister thought.

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because he realized that at this juncture, in this land, anyone except them would be an enemy.

In all of Westeros, the Lannister had no allies.

He didn't know what his brother was thinking, but no matter what, he had to go back alive first.

"My lord, look, cavalry!"

The Earl of Deep Cave City had better eyesight than Kevan, and he saw clearly the source of the noise before him.

It was cavalry, groups of cavalry.

Under the banner of Clay Manderly's new dynasty.

The blood all over Kevan Lannister's body seemed to have become a bit colder at this moment.

But he had no way out, so he could only draw the long sword from his waist and roar loudly:

"Array up!"

The nobles at the bottom had already commanded the 10,000 people who had just crossed the river and organized a thin line of defense on the river beach.

Clay Mandler picked a great opportunity.

Kevan Lannister thought.

However, if he said this to Clay, he would just wave his hand, indicating that this is a basic operation.

Isn't it something that everyone knows about the half-crossed attack?

The 10,000 people who came ashore first were originally in a mess on the river beach. They were all waiting for the brothers behind to cross the river before they reorganized and continued to move forward.

The cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them was like a divine weapon descending from heaven.

These infantrymen could only pick up their spears or swords and put them behind their thin shields, their teeth chattering as they waited for the cavalry who had fully emerged.

Clay pulled almost all of his main cavalry to the south this time.

The 20,000 people who besieged Golden Tooth City were basically pure infantry. The western border was mountainous, and the cavalry could not exert its proper attack power.

Might as well get to the Great Plains of the Reach and race to your heart's content.

After Clay obtained the location of Kevan Lannister, he led his army south from the garrison.

I originally thought of letting this group of Tyrells destroy the Western Territory, but now it seems that they are really weak, and they can't catch up with such a large encirclement.

I have no choice but to use my own power to end this.

But it doesn't matter. Tyrell's betrayal has taken away all the hatred. It's strange that the people of the Westerlands don't hate them.

That's good, the weaker the Reach is and the more enemies there are, they'll have to rely on themselves.

When handled, the resistance will be much smaller.

Clay never chose to attack.

The 20,000-strong Western Army is not an easy nut to crack.

Clay had no intention of using Galesos.

Part of the reason for the fall of the Targaryens was that they were too superstitious about the violence brought by dragons.

Once they reached the middle of the dynasty and after the Dance of the Blood Dragons ended, the dragon clan quickly declined and perished, and the foundation of Targaryen's rule was shaken.

The next hundred years were nothing but the inertia of the dynasty, pushing it forward until it was finally knocked to the ground by Robert Baratheon's hammer.

If Targaryen had the strongest army, manpower and material resources in the country in addition to dragons, Robert's Rebellion would have been a different outcome.

Therefore, this time, Clay used his ordinary army as if he did not use the dragon to completely swallow up the Western Army, which was once the strongest among the Seven Kingdoms.

A stern warning to all those who have thoughts about the new dynasty.

So, he waited, leading his army like bloodthirsty sharks, swimming near the prey named Kevan Lannister.

Finally giving him the chance, Kevan Lannister chose to cross the river.

Half of the army had passed, and when the remaining half was still on the south bank, Clay issued an order for the entire army to attack.

So, the cavalrymen picked up their swords and lances and charged hard towards the thin defense line.

The distance from the hill to the river is not too far.

After trotting for a certain distance, the cavalry began to urge the horses to accelerate with all their strength.

In a desperate situation, this group of Westerners burst out with a considerable desire to survive.

After the first impact, the scattered formation that was impacted did not collapse.

This was actually beyond the expectations of Clay, who was watching the battle not far away.

Calculated mentally or not, a wave of attacks didn't even break through the papery-looking defense line?

It's not like Clay has never fought against the Western Army. The people before this group who were burned by him at Harrenhal were the real elites.

What Clay has in front of him now is actually a corps organized by the second line.

Are the people from the West so strong?

Later, he saw the direction of the cavalry he rushed into the formation, and understood why.

A desperate fight with no way to retreat.

This group of Western Border troops who were halfway across the river set up a defense line consisting only of a row of sword and shield soldiers and a row of spearmen or swordsmen. If they had been on the plains, they would have been finished.

But the problem is that behind them is the flowing Lamboon River, which is equivalent to giving them an insurmountable wall.

Even if Clay's cavalry rushed over and broke their formation, they could not regroup behind them for a second charge.

The distance is too short.

Therefore, the cavalry's attack capability has been weakened.

But this doesn't matter.

Because this time, there were 10,000 cavalrymen facing them.

Clay mobilized the Valley, the North, the Riverlands, and some surrendered royal nobles to form a powerful cavalry group formed by the four parties.

Since one charge cannot solve the problem, then the second wave will continue until they are completely defeated and dispersed.

So, the second attack, like a surging ocean tide, continued to roll forward and slap away.

Seeing this scene, Kevan Lannister, who was still on the south bank, was extremely anxious.

Is there anything you don’t understand now?

His whereabouts must have been exposed a long time ago, no wonder those people from the river were not too excited if they couldn't catch up with him.

It turns out that Clay Manderly's king's army is still waiting for him here.

Damn, you were so careless, you should have crossed the river as soon as possible.

Kevan Lannister was secretly annoyed.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Two choices were placed before him.

Otherwise, continue crossing the river, reinforce the north bank, and then have a good fight with Clay Manderly's army.

I don’t know if I can surrender gracefully.

This army that is comparable to our own is here, and the dragon may appear at any time.

By that time, if your army cannot break out in time after arriving on the north shore, it will be trapped on the beach.

When the dragon fires down a breath of dragon flames, the damage to its own side will be staggering.

Or, just give up the 10,000 people who have crossed the river now, take the 10,000 people on the south bank, and run away directly. Anyway, the north bank will not stop for a while.

You have enough time to retreat.

But in this case, besides throwing 10,000 people to Clay Mandler for nothing, there is a more important problem.

Further west, we'll delve into the heart of the Reach.

Although it is equally empty there, the question remains, how to go back?

The further you advance into the hinterland of the Reach, the greater the chance that the remaining ten thousand people will be entangled.

By that time, it will be all over.

Thinking of this, Kevan Lannister's face became a little defeated.

Because, even if he escapes now, it will only delay the time of "death".

It was no shame to be defeated by Clay Manderly. His brother was also almost burned to death by the dragon at Harrenhal.

It would be a huge disgrace if this fell into the hands of any of the River Bend nobles.

The honor of House Lannister cannot be tarnished.

The cruel Duke Tywin would not even redeem his daughter and grandson. Why should he care about his younger brother who does not affect the main line of the family? Kevan knew very well that he was not that important.

"Sir...what should we do?"

In the sky, the Earl of Deep Cave City, who seemed to vaguely see the silhouette of a giant dragon passing by, was now covered in cold sweat.

The dragon won't tell whether your boy is a noble or not, or how high the title is on his head.

Under the dragon flames, all living beings are equal.

The Earl of Deep Cave City just wants to run away.

However, he found that the look in the eyes of his boss, Kevan Lannister, seemed a little different.

A bit fanatical, a bit desperate.

It’s broken, something is going to happen!

The Earl of Deep Cave City felt a thump in his heart.

Don't continue with this, right?

Sure enough, the next second, he heard Kevan Lannister's gnashing teeth:

"Attack! Attack!"

Like a late lion roaring!

…

Six hours later.

Clay sees the body of Kevan Lannister.

This guy didn't die in his hands, but died from the sword stabbed in the back.

At the last moment, the commander of the Westerners was surrounded and still shouted for a fierce battle.

As a result, he was stabbed through the heart by the Earl of Deep Cave City with a sword.

Afterwards, the Earl of Deep Cave City led the remaining soldiers to surrender to Clay.

So far, the Western Army.

completely annihilated!
