Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 144 Missions, military expansion, sea power
Clay issued an order overnight, and the family guards broke into Maester Theomo's room, and took him under guard without listening to his explanation.

The raven in his hand was also taken away from his side to prevent him from sending out any further letters. Clay did not order the search of Maester Theomo's personal belongings or letters. The old man has done this many times, and all No flaws were found on him, so this time, Clay didn't expect any direct evidence.

After Clay finished dealing with Eli's affairs, he had to take good care of this stuff.

Early the next morning, Clay rode straight to the wolf den. He would have a lot of things to do today.

The blood-red gemstone ring on his hand made all the guards who saw him bow and salute, and Clay went straight to the back of the wolf den, the main castle of the White Sea Guard.

The intelligence chiefs who received the news put down their work and quickly headed towards the conference room where the commander was. They knew that the commander led the army back to White Harbor yesterday, but they didn't expect to come here today.

Sitting in the chair, watching calmly the familiar figures that filed in, Clay waited for them all to sit down, and said in a calm tone without sadness or joy:

"Everyone, you are all here. During my absence, you have done a good job."

Those present were all smart people, and no one would really take this as a compliment. Moreover, they also understood that they really did not play a big role in the commander's journey south.

The few that worked were arranged by the commander himself before leaving, and the ones they commanded and monitored did not play any role at all.

When did the Kingslayer leave King's Landing and go to the west to lead the army? Their people in King's Landing did not give such news at all.

After Ed Stark escaped from King's Landing, the White Sea Guard did not know what happened to him.

Also, when Clay, the commander of the White Sea Guard, led his army to the city of the Twin Rivers, he had no way to effectively command the White Sea Guard's preparations and actions in the city.

When he got into Twin River City by himself and was lucky enough to meet the commander of Twin River City's White Sea Guard, he finally took over the White Sea Guard in the city again, and finally broke through Twin River City.

The information network they originally built was too slow to transmit information, and could not keep up with Clay's horseshoe speed. It can be said that in this southward battle, it was Clay who was leading their hounds, not these hounds acting as their masters. Pathfinder.

This is a big problem, Clay is dissatisfied with the results of their work, it's really normal, Clay withdraws them, they can't say a word.

"My lord, we... did not do well, please forgive me."

Manager Xue Nuo, as the most prestigious one among several managers, saw that everyone was silent, so he could only bite the bullet and speak.

After hearing what he said, Clay sneered and waved his hands. The temperature of his voice dropped instantly, and he said:
"What's the use of me forgiving you, what's the use of me just pushing you guys out and cutting them off, what I want is the result, the information you got me, understand everyone!"

"Your own heads are not that important. Whether it can be firmly placed on your shoulders depends on your achievements, not here to beg for mercy with me."

The stewards didn't say a word. They didn't want to get into the bad luck of the commander now. This commander was not a noble young master who lived deep in the castle and could only give orders.

He personally led the army to the south, and without anyone's help, he commanded the army to kill more than 1 people in Lannister. He can kill so many people without blinking an eye. How can he kill himself? There is half hesitation.

Since I didn't do well, then don't say anything, let the commander do what he says.

"I have other things, so I won't talk nonsense with you here. Now, put away your own thoughts and obey my orders!"

Clay slapped the hand with the ring that symbolized the power of the White Sea Guard on the table.

"You don't have to worry about King's Landing. Let the three Baratheon kings fight for that stinking city. It has nothing to do with us."

"Send me to Harrenhal. Remember, once the enemies from the south besiege Harrenhal, send a message to White Harbor or the Twins immediately. Remember, immediately, don't delay me."

"The Iron Islands are now completely ignoring the Western Territory. This is the best time for you to infiltrate the Western Territory. Remember, whether the Iron Islands are defeated or the Western Territory is defeated again, report them all to me."

"Finally, please pay attention to Duke Ed's physical condition. I always feel that something is wrong with him. Can Lannister put him back so easily?"

As for the valley, Clay didn't mention it. They probably had a quarrel internally now, and at the same time, under the leadership of Lysa Tully, they insisted on implementing the policy of closing the bloody door.

On the other side, some people headed by the Royce family firmly opposed this policy of slow death and insisted on participating in the war.

The valley has the most powerful cavalry in the Seven Kingdoms, but they choose to shrink behind the bloody gate, watching the blood flow into rivers from the top and bottom of the Seven Kingdoms.

Clay wondered if Littlefinger had arrived at the Eyrie by now, to deal with the Lysa Tully who loved him for nothing.

If so, then the valley is a constant source of instability, because no one can tell when Littlefinger will let the valley cavalry rush out of the gate of blood.

He has no way to contact the opposition headed by the Royce family now. He really has no good way to deal with the valley at present. The resistance of the Alliance of the Just in his memory is also nothing.

Littlefinger still has considerable control over the private land of the Vale of Arryn, and Clay has no intention of forcibly intervening to attract Littlefinger Petyr's attention.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, but that I'm leaving soon, so there's really no need to play happily with him at this point in time.

"Afterwards, I will leave White Harbor for a period of time. All your reports, including the command of the entire White Sea Guard, will be temporarily handed over to Lord Wyman, but the orders I gave you must be strictly implemented. I don't want to see any People give me more slack."

"Obey, Commander."

……

Clay is leaving soon, and there is no extra time to clean up the White Sea Guard from top to bottom, so now they can only continue to use the previous structure, first completely abolish their own blind command power, and focus on those few very important point.

Coming out of the wolf's lair, Clay didn't delay, and directly found Sir Marlon who returned to White Harbor with him. Uncle Willis, as the chief guard of White Harbor, was not good at commanding troops. Clay had to hand over the military power to a Someone who can be trusted.

After much deliberation, only Sir Marlon in White Harbor is suitable for this position, and the rest can't hold back these proud soldiers who have made great achievements with Clay.

Sir Marlon, who was as old as his father, was staying on the school field at this time, watching some young boys training swordsmanship. He has loved this thing all his life, and he is still interested in it until now.

Seeing that Clay came to find him, he also knew what he was here for. On the way back from Cailin Bay, Clay talked to him once. Although he didn't tell him what he was going to Essos, he told him in advance Said about it.

"Clay, have you dealt with the matter over there? Let's go, let's change the place and say, this place is full of ashes made by these boys."

The old jazz laughed, stood up from where he was sitting, kicked a kid who was clearly out of shape, and led Clay towards a place where no one was around.

Clay's departure from White Harbor, and even Westeros, is a top secret within the family and can be allowed to leak out, but it must be long after Clay has left, and now, absolutely not.

The river land and the current Tully family are like a beautiful woman with half-dressed clothes, surrounded by a group of men with red eyes. The reason why they didn't jump up to the Fa-rectification on the spot is because behind this woman, there is a Vicious elder brother.

And the northern border is this brother, Clay, the symbol of this brother's viciousness.

Now, if he leaves Westeros and the news is leaked, there is no guarantee that no one will have misleading thoughts about the riverland, not to mention anything else, his old man is in the riverland.

Therefore, Eli and the Lannister bachelor behind him, Clay, must clean up, at least to ensure that the area around the Sea God Tower is clean during this period of time.

Sir Marlon led Clay to the second floor of the Sea God Tower, a relatively quiet balcony where no one was disturbed and the view was very good. Anyone who wanted to sneak a peek here would be spotted right away.

"Okay, Clay, tell me carefully, you left, how long will you be back?"

"I don't ask you what you are doing out there, you decide on your own, your grandfather and I support you, and your family is your backing."

Clay smiled, looking at the quiet garden outside the balcony, where a maid was sweeping fallen leaves. When she looked up, she found Master Clay looking at her. She quickly lowered her head, pretending not to see Clay, but her hands The broom's hand has turned red from exertion, which is the same color as her exposed face.

Sir Marlon also noticed this, the old knight pointed his mouth at Clay, and said with a low laugh:

"Do you know, kid, how popular you are in our White Harbor and even in the entire northern border?"

Clay shook his head and smiled:
"Forget it, the family will agree to whichever one I like. There is no suitable one in the entire Seven Kingdoms."

"Hey, the tone is really loud, the king is not as powerful as you."

The old jazz chuckled, taking Clay's words as a joke, but his voice fell silent as he mentally scratched it, as if Clay was really right.

The old jazz was a little embarrassed, and muttered:
"This is really, it would be better not to fight this battle, at least you don't have to worry about getting married..."

Immediately, his expression changed, and he said seriously:
"Clay, no matter what, the family must have an heir. You must consider who you want to marry. You must understand what the old man meant when he gave Wilfield to Stark."

When it comes to this, Clay is a little angry, not because of the fact that the old man took his sister Wilfried away to the Stark family, but because he is not strong enough and needs to be controlled by others.

If the current Gelesos is the size of the Black Death, will the Manderly family still give Wilfield to the Stark family?

At that time, it will be Wilfried and all Westeros who choose their ideals, not what they are now. This is the helplessness of the family's insufficient strength.

"I understand, Sir Marlon. Grandpa and I have already made plans for this matter. Don't worry, the Mandalay family will definitely continue to pass on in my hands."

"I have no doubts about it. That's fine. Don't talk about it. Now tell me about the regulations of the army you brought back. It's a pity that they put down their weapons and go home now."

Clay nodded, agreeing with Sir Malone's statement, he said:

"Sir, during my absence, the people who went south with me were all veterans who had seen blood, especially the hundreds of cavalry who followed me from beginning to end. I told them that they were not allowed to go home and farm. For compensation, the military pay will be doubled."

"Also, the family's current financial resources are enough to expand our cavalry team. You have to take this matter to heart and expand our cavalry team as much as possible. As for the infantry, just keep the current scale."

Sir Marlon didn't have any objection to Clay's arrangement, and he agreed immediately. He followed Clay all the way, knowing how terrifying the kid would be on the battlefield if he had a powerful cavalry in his hand.

The name Clay Manderly can be remembered by the lords of the Seven Kingdoms, thanks to the fact that the cavalry in their hands showed their prestige in front of Lannister.

"Okay, I get it. You're still good at leading cavalry. I'm sure I won't hold you back, is there anything else?"

"Yes, and it's more important than that just now."

Clay restrained the smile just now and became extremely serious. He said:
"Sir Malon, I want you to do your best to build a fleet that can compete with Stannis' royal family. In addition to maintaining the family's operations, I want you to throw all the golden dragons into it."

This request was completely beyond Sir Marlon's expectations. In his mind, Clay would definitely expand his power, but that refers to land. He really didn't expect that Clay would ask him to come out early A royal fleet came out.

"Why, to maintain such a large fleet, the family's financial pressure will be very high, which is equivalent to investing more than half of the tax revenue of the entire White Harbor."

Sir Marlon's eyebrows were going up, he couldn't understand Clay's request at all, but it's not his fault, the nobles in Westeros rarely set their sights on the sea, and no one understands the power of the sea. the value of.

For the vast majority of nobles, the family is facing the sea. With this money, they can get an extra cavalryman without getting an extra piece of wood for the ship.

But Clay never considered this issue. If he could get the command of the sea, even if the dragon in the future is not as effective as expected due to various possible black technologies, Clay will still be invincible in the war.

As long as you can get the command of the sea on both sides of Westeros, guess how many people the nobles will leave to see the house?

Casterly Rock City, Xuecheng City, King's Landing City, Storm's End Castle, etc., which one is not by the sea?Even if it is a valley, if you land from the sea, the blood door natural barrier is completely a display.

It can be said that if the Northern Territory has a sea force the size of the Royal Fleet on the west coast before the war begins, Lannister can pull out a maximum of 2 people to support the sky, and the remaining 1 people must stay to guard the long coastline.

Because, you can't guess where I will land, and at sea, the speed of troop transport is much faster than that on land.

Before the fight starts, I will hold at least one-third of your strength in place and not move. This is the power of sea dominance.
