Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Clay's young body and the sound he made made everyone at the table look sideways.

A young man who is decisive in killing, people like Earl Wyman and Sir Malone who have read the floating world, the first thing to consider when encountering this kind of thing is to wait for the will of Winterfell.

And the heir to the Mandalay family, who had brought them countless surprises, was already considering the complete destruction of a family.

To be fair, even with Earl Wyman's sophistication, he cannot deny that his grandson's proposal is very practical.

White Harbor has a fairly impressive fleet, but in the battle sequence in the north, it has never made any actual achievements. The reason is very simple:

Because of the existence of the Three Sisters Islands, the position of the White Harbor Fleet is open to the entire south. Without its stealth, the advantages brought by the fleet's high mobility are gone.

Over the years, Earl Wyman has been looking for an opportunity to deal with this trouble, but it is obvious that King Robert has ruled for these years and he has never waited for the opportunity.

Good at using weapons in peacetime, even if the Mandalay family occupied the Three Sisters Islands, they would not eventually get there.

…

This was the most serious family meeting in more than ten years, and the Mandalay family, which controlled White Harbor, began to shift from peace to war.

Weapons began to be distributed and armies began to assemble. Under the strong promotion of Clay Mandler, the young master of White Harbor, although the ravens of the Stark family in Winterfell have not yet arrived, everyone in White Harbor knew that the family Ready for war.

Poseidon Tower, Count Wyman's study.

As a continuation of the family meeting at noon, three people sat in this spacious study, Earl Wyman, his eldest son Willis, and Clay.

Wendel and Sir Malone, who knew how to lead troops, were already in the army at this time. White Harbor's financial resources allowed the Mandalay family to have the only standing army in the north with more than 500 men.

The Mandalay family's army was expanded based on these five hundred men.

Even so, the combat effectiveness of the Mandalay family army is actually not as good as that of the northern nobles. If a Stark warrior were to challenge the Mandalay guards in a duel, there is a high probability that the former would beat the latter to the ground. Down.

The old man lit the fireplace in the room. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. This extremely long summer is finally coming to an end.

"Grandpa, can you tell me how many soldiers our Mandalay family can organize?"

This is actually a question that Clay was puzzled by when he first arrived in Westeros. According to what the old man said at the beginning, he could assemble 1,500 heavy armored cavalry.

This number, compared to the northern border, is always a very large cavalry force, but the problem is that when it is compared with the population of Bai Port, something goes wrong.

After Clay returned to White Harbor, he had learned about the approximate population ratio of White Harbor. As he expected, in this era of unprecedented medical resources, the population was extremely young.

Because apart from the nobles, there are only a few people who can live to old age.

A small wound or a small cold can kill someone, it's so true.

The population of Baigang exceeds 200,000. What is the concept? Assuming that the ratio of men to women is one to one, it means that there are 100,000 men here.

Based on such a young population, the most conservative estimate is that there will be 50,000 people who can carry weapons on the battlefield.

Draw one out of five, and this will be an army of 10,000. Damn it, who is the boss in the north? Why doesn't Clay know that his family is so powerful?

Later, after further research, I discovered that the algorithm just mentioned is theoretically correct. However, due to the backward social system, the Mandalay family has no ability to recruit this huge population.

Yes, these people who have lived in White Harbor for generations have been paying taxes to the Mandalay family honestly, but the problem is that the family has no means to organize them. You know, the conscripts and the soldiers raised are fundamentally Two different things.

If they could all be organized, then King's Landing, with a population of nearly a million, would be a serious God of War in Westeros. Why else would Robert fight the Usurper's War?

The Targaryen family, which has ruled for nearly three hundred years, does not include the royal family and the nobles. In King's Landing, if one of the five soldiers is drawn, that is an army of one hundred thousand. If Robert comes, he will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

There is still a big gap between reality and reality, and Clay, who understands clearly, is convinced.

"Are you asking now? Or when there is plenty of time?"

The old man asked his grandson, the army cannot be formed with just a few clicks.

"Ask them all, I want to know how much power we have."

Of course, as the head of a family, the old man knew about this question. He raised his chubby palm and compared it with a number:

"Now, if Winterfell asks me to go south immediately, I can only send out 2,500 men, 500 cavalry, and 2,000 infantry. This is the most. In fact, some people have to be left to guard White Harbor. There won't be so many."

"But if you give me enough time, I will double this number, 1,500 cavalry, 3,500 infantry, or even more. As long as we can produce golden dragons, those mercenaries who only fart in the tavern will also join us. us."

Nodding, Clay finally understood the chips he had before the first round of this war. He knew how many pieces he had in his pocket so that he could make accurate bets, right?

"What do you mean? You want to lead the troops yourself?"

The old man suddenly looked at him. Uncle Willis, who had been silent all this time, also took his eyes away from the bonfire and looked here carefully.

Clay shrugged. He didn't think he could stay in White Harbor and watch others go south to fight to the death. He had to go if he couldn't say a word to Rob.

"My father called us here to talk about this matter."

Willis suddenly spoke, and Clay was startled, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Father, it is impossible to go to the battlefield. One of you and I must lead the troops south. Since you haven't come back, this burden must be mine."

Uncle Willis's words completely awakened Clay. Yes, the decent heirs of Winterfell have all raised their troops and gone south. Can you, Manderly, also send one?

This is just like gambling, it's a matter of whether you follow or not. Moreover, there is also the issue of the attitude of the Mandalay family in this war.

"Clay, actually, I don't really want you to go."

The old man spoke with some difficulty. Although one day he goes to see the Seven Gods, the Earl of White Harbor will definitely fall on Willis first, but when Willis is gone, Clay will become the new master of White Harbor.

Willis is the present and Clay is the future.

More importantly, Clay now has no legitimate children, not even an illegitimate child. If something unexpected happens on the battlefield, the Mandalay family will return to the state it was in before Clay returned. This is something the family cannot bear. price.

Clay understood the old man's worries, but he had to participate in this war. What he had and what he would have forced him not to remain mediocre.

Clay decided to show the old man another important thing, which would completely tilt the balance in his heart.

Dragon Egg, it’s time to let the old man know.

In a few words, after solving the dragon problem, Clay will immediately lead his troops south, with blood and fire, and gold and iron horses behind him. Because the old wolf has a different ending in King's Landing, some interesting things will happen in the direction of this war. Variety.

I have a story. Can you give me a glass of wine?
