Chapter 131 Clay Regroups, Ed Is Fleeing
Although Clay's name is still in the fog, all the people in the Seven Kingdoms only know that a surprise soldier came out of the northern border, swallowed more than 1 people under Duke Tywin in World War I, and even picked up a kingslayer in his hands for nothing.

The balance of war between the North and the West seemed to be tilted towards the Stark family all of a sudden.At least, many nobles in the Seven Kingdoms think so.

Who in the Seven Kingdoms doesn't know that Lord Tywin doesn't like that dwarf son with the nickname "little devil" at all, and Jaime Lannister is Lord Tywin's favorite baby.

Now, Tywin suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Northern Territory, and lost a secret heir, how can he fight in the Western Territory?
According to the default rules of the game among the nobles, many people believe that the truce negotiations between the North and the West will start soon. As for how much meat Duke Tywin will cut in exchange for his precious son, I don’t know. .

Just when all parties were paying attention and opinions were divergent, Clay Manderly, who was stationed in Riverrun, had received the news that Edmure Tully had wiped out the remnants of the original Tengshi North Camp.

He didn't want to watch Edmure Tully's triumphant ceremony, which was so watery that he could drown people, so he directly gave the order to march eastward to the two thousand cavalry who were aiding Edmure Tully.

He himself obtained the command of less than remaining cavalry in the Riverland from the Duke of Hoster, which was part of the deal he had agreed to send Edmure to send troops.

Commanding nearly cavalry, counting the victorious troops commanded by Earl Glover who were about to meet, Clay pointed his attack spearhead at Duke Tywin near Harrenhal.

Robb Stark used a little more than 1 pure infantry to compete with Tywin's 2-odd cavalry army, and gave the opponent the illusion that his entire army was here.

However, with the end of the Battle of Riverrun, news spread like wildfire that Rob Stark's bluff could no longer be performed. Therefore, Clay's cavalry group must move closer to him as soon as possible.

After receiving the letter from Robb Stark, Clay carefully analyzed the situation and agreed with him. Originally, he planned to let Robb hold back the army of Duke Tywin, and lead all the cavalry himself to conquer the entire Western Territory. Next to the search again.

But now it seems that such a plan can only stay on paper. After all, he is still relying on the big tree in the north, and the dragon will not grow much in just over a month.

After Daenerys got three dragons, she flew up in waves, and gave two directly, and finally lost her life before the Iron Throne. If she was patient enough, she dragged the three dragons half the size of Black Death, No amount of conspiracy is nonsense in front of the dragon.

Clay is just a baby bump in Gelesos, so naturally he doesn't have the capital to make waves. Although Cobain's black technology has not yet appeared, it doesn't mean that the dragon is invincible here. In fact, it is still far away.

So, now, Clay's center of gravity is still the nearly cavalry in his hands. This is the power that can turn the world upside down.

Because the First World War completely emptied all the Lannister forces in the southwest Riverlands, Clay left the Riverland infantry to guard Riverrun, and led the army himself, and at an extremely fast speed, within four days, he maneuvered to Harrenhal. hills to the west.

After completing the garrison of the camp and the deployment of sentries, Clay led a group of nobles in the northern border, except for Earl Glover and Earl Severn who stayed behind in the camp, headed north to the northern army garrison, which was half a day away.

After being apart for such a long time, he has to meet Rob Stark. How to fight next? Although Clay is no longer what he used to be, he still has to listen to Rob Stark's opinion. As for the other nobles , stand aside.

Starting in the morning, before evening, Clay saw the northern camp with high walls and deep ditches leaning against the woods and rivers. The running direwolf flag fluttered high, demonstrating the noble status of the owner here.

Clay's arrival, the cavalrymen who arrived earlier had passed the news. Originally, the lords in the north strongly urged Clay to lead his troops to join them, but Rob Stark choked them with a word. :

"Ask Master Clay to lead the troops, and then return all the cavalry to you?"

The young wolf lord scanned the audience with his icy eyes. Through defeating Tywin with fewer enemies and more enemies in the first battle, Robb Stark also established his own prestige in the army, and no one dared to question his decision easily.

So, now, when Clay and his party arrived at the gate of the camp, what they saw was the princes of the north who had set out early to welcome them, and Rob Stark, standing at the front of the crowd, was smiling.

In his opinion, his good brother played the prestige of the northern border on the battlefield and reversed the unfavorable situation at the beginning of the war. Now, with the kingslayer and a group of Western nobles in his hands, the northern border is already invincible place.

In addition to his father's whereabouts are still unknown, after the battle against Tywin, Rob Stark also sent out his own search team, hard work paid off, and he successfully found his sister Sansa Stark.

Ed Stark separated his two daughters from himself when he decided to break them into pieces. This is the reason why eggs cannot be put in one basket.

As for Arya, they haven't been found yet, but according to the guards protecting Sansa, Arya's team is moving faster than her, and may have broken through Lannister's blockade and headed north.

It is estimated that he and Rob's army missed it. At this juncture, as long as he is not a prisoner of Lannister, it will be the best news.

"Clay Manderly, my dear brother, welcome home!"

Robb Stark, who already had a thick beard on his lips, was wearing a thick fur cloak. He looked at least seven or eight years old. When he saw Clay dismount, he immediately greeted him with open arms.

He gave Clay a bear hug, and then, the two hands were tightly held together. Don't think about it, it's just that Rob Stark is too excited.

Clay's series of brilliant victories on the western riverland battlefield made him more and more aware that his brother might be a hero on the battlefield like the young dragon king Daeron.

Clay's main army is not around, Rob Stark always has no idea when facing Tywin, and infantry always feels a little nervous when facing cavalry.

Now, Clay's cavalry group of nearly 7000 people is placed near him, and Clay himself has returned to the camp of the Northern Army after a long absence. Rob Stark finally let go of his hanging heart. .

"Rob, we all did a good job. We slapped Lord Tywin a few times. I killed the Kingslayer's troops in the west. You tricked Tywin, a battlefield expert, into going around in the east. I really want to see how Tywin is now Master Wen's expression."

"Hey, we, it's better not to return the Kingslayer to Lord Tywin, or use the sharpest knife to cut off something under Ser James Lannister's crotch, and then force Lord Tywin to stand up What do you think of the devil as the heir?"

Seeing Robb Stark winking at him, Clay raised his eyebrows, carefully observed the heir of Winterfell who had changed a lot, and said with a tusk:
"I didn't see it. Robben performed well on the battlefield, but he is also a good hand at playing tricks. Your father, Lord Ed Stark, should know that you still have this talent, so why don't you teach it to you?"

Having said that, Clay frowned and asked:
"Rob, is there no news from Lord Ed? You pushed Tai Wen back so much, didn't you send someone to look for it?"

Now, Clay's memory about Ed Stark is no longer useful. All the news can only be asked by himself. Now that Ed Stark has been missing for so long, there should be some news right?

But Clay knew what was going on when he saw Rob's face that instantly dimmed, and the nobles in the northern region who were listening to the two of them quietly, with helpless and worried expressions on their faces.

The words have been said, and Clay didn't bother to ask if it was right at this time. He patted Rob on the shoulder and said in a low voice:

"It's okay. Next, I will take the cavalry to find it myself, and then double the search area. By the way, I will also force Tai Wen to send out cavalry to fight me. I want to see how many people Lord Tai Wen dares to send with me." Attack."

The Northern Territory lost more than 2000 people in the previous battle with Duke Tywin. Now that Clay has led the army to arrive, the total strength of the Northern Territory has returned to 7000, but Tywin's side has not received any supplements. .

The aristocrats in King’s Landing, as well as the major families in the king’s land, all sent troops before, but those who didn’t plan to send troops at the beginning, now that Lannister is in a disadvantaged state, it is even more impossible to send troops. up.

Moreover, the seven thousand iron cavalry who had seen blood were placed next to the king's collar. It was a lie that they had no pressure. After all, Clay's reputation in the Battle of Riverrun had already reached their ears.

Even if Clay leaves Robb Stark and Tywin alone, the probability of directly leading troops to deal with them is very low, but do they dare to make this bet?

"Well, it's okay, I believe that Father will meet us soon."

Rob's tone was low, and the welcome ceremony was over. Clay followed Rob, and under the constant gaze of the northern nobles, he entered the tent directly. Everyone must refer to this for how to fight the next battle. The invincible cavalry commander.

……

"Quick, hurry up, don't let them run away!"

A sharp and ear-piercing roar came from the edge of the forest in the northeast of Harrenhal. Eddard Stark and his remaining guards were still spotted when they tried to cross the last Lannister blockade.

They didn't have time to kill all the sentries, so, after realizing that the Lannister sentry who escaped by chance could no longer catch up with him, Ed Stark decisively ordered to run north.

There is no doubt that he has been exposed, and he has no horses on his side, so being caught up is a sure thing. Now, Ed Stark is going to compete with himself for time.

He had to be close enough to the north. If he could meet the scouts from the north, at least he could be rescued. If he stayed here, he would only die.

In fact, he himself is very clear that unless he commits suicide, otherwise, Tywin will not do anything to him, but the problem is that it is better than cutting off his honor to surrender to the Lannister family who killed his good brother. His head still hurts.

Lannister's efficiency under Duke Tywin was much higher than under James's. After Ed Stark and his party ran less than a mile northward, there was already a chase from the West behind them. The hooves of soldiers.

"My lord, you go first, you must not be caught by them!"

The three guards who fell behind looked at each other, stopped and fled. They shouted at their Patriarch, then turned around without hesitation, and aimed their swords at their enemies.

They will definitely die in battle, and there will be no prisoners at this time, but they still chose this way.

Ed Stark didn't look back, he felt a severe pain in his heart, it wasn't because he was hypocritical about what the guards did for him, he had long been used to seeing blood and death, he really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

What he really couldn't accept was that it was his own stupidity that had created all of this. The key point was that he didn't have the ability to stop it.

He was really tired from running, his legs were like lead, but he really couldn't stop.

If he falls into the hands of Lannister, he knows too well what the consequences will be.

……

Just sitting down, thinking carefully about the next attack plan, Clay is going to completely solve the annoying behavior of the old lion blocking the door.

King's Landing is so big, I'm going to take a look, you Tywin is a bad old man, don't always bring someone to guard the door, it's very annoying, okay?
Just as he was thinking, the tent was suddenly lifted.

Before Clay raised his head, a strong smell of blood drifted into his nose.

The demon hunter's extremely keen sense of smell, coupled with the fact that he has been breathing in this smell every day during this period, he is now very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Looking up suddenly, he saw Earl Karstark, who was in charge of guarding the camp and commanding the sentry troops, was wearing armor and covered in blood. The count's face was ugly and frightening. He rushed into the tent without saying a word.

"What's the matter? Lord Karstark, answer me."

After staring at each other in silence for a long time, Rob asked strangely:
"My lord... just now our sentry found Lannister cavalry chasing a group of fleeing people. The scouts immediately went up to check, and there were soldiers from Winterfell among them."

Speaking of this, Earl Karstark's words stopped again. His words gave Rob a very bad feeling, and he immediately asked:

"Go on, tell me what you know, what happened?"

"The person who came back to report told me that there is one in there, it is... Lord Ed."

"what!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Many people stood up directly and brought several chairs.

"There were only two sentries among us. After discovering the situation, one came back quickly to report, and the other rushed forward to save Lord Ed, but when I rushed over, his head had already been chopped off."

Robb Stark's eyes were tearing apart, he didn't care about the life and death of the Laoshi sentinel at all, he just wanted to know the whereabouts of his father.

"I chased all the way, and collided with the troops that Lannister came to reinforce. I... failed to bring the Lord back. He...was seriously injured and was tied to the horse by Lannister. I saw his The blood stained the horse's belly red."

Robb Stark's eyes went dark, and what he was most worried about happened. His father was captured by Lannister, and he was seriously injured, and his life and death were uncertain.

Clay heard the sound of falling to the ground, he didn't look back, he knew it was the sound of Mrs. Caitlin fainting without looking.

Amid all the commotion, Clay had only one thought:
"Troublesome..."
