Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 183 Returning to Winterfell

Clay couldn't directly mention a certain person's name to the old man, because the logic inside it didn't make sense. There were some things. As a witness, Clay certainly knew that this guy was going to make trouble, but for the old man, he couldn't understand Clay Why are you so skeptical.

"Grandpa, I'm sure that this thing must have been done by the people of the Valley. After Sir Brynden Tully left the Blood Gate, we won't be able to get any information about the people entering and leaving the Blood Gate. In this place, there are Those who can do these things must be an elite army with an established system, and there is no one else except Gudi."

"Yes, I understand, but I can't figure it out. What are these people doing? What is Lysa Tully doing?"

Clay understands, but he doesn't intend to explain to the old man what a woman with a brain in love is. He replied:
"Grandpa, we don't care why those people do what they do. There are too many people with abnormal brains in this world. If we have to understand the logic behind everyone's behavior, we must be exhausted. If this is the case, then we will do it." Know where we stand in this matter."

"Positioning? What do you mean kid?"

The old man tasted the word, but he didn't quite understand what the grandson was planning to say to him.

"Grandpa, let's not think about the interests of the northern border now. We only think about the interests of the Mandalay family. These valley people have not kidnapped Vera or Wilfield. If they want to kidnap, let them go. It's Stark's trouble, not ours."

Clay understands very well that if it were not for his own existence, the Manderly family would be the staunch loyal servants of the Stark family under the leadership of the old man. The Tucker family returns to Winterfell.

Therefore, the current old man has a kind of inertial thinking in his subconscious, thinking that something in the north is closely related to the Mandalay family. This is wrong. Since the final backstab is inevitable, it is better to prepare in advance now.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, from Clay Yulong to Essos, to find Daenerys, to reach a cooperation, to complete the family marriage, and then to capture Astapor, take control of the Unsullied, and then to Iron Vault and Dorne Landing.

Other nobles, at this age, are full of energy and hard at riding skills, but Clay has no chance to enjoy life at all. He wants to fight for a future for himself and his family.

The old man told Clay that now, the family has assembled more than two thousand soldiers in the Twin River City, but none of them are elite, and the level of training can only be said to be average.

This is normal. After all, a large part of these soldiers are the original Frey soldiers, but after being screened and beaten by the old man, they are loyal to the new master, the Mandalay family.

The original Frey family, in fact, prefers the theory of crowd charge. A family can pull up an army of 4000 people. If they hope to take the route of elite soldiers, the cost will be skyrocketing.

According to this situation, the old man recruited 2000 people, not children and old people, but young and middle-aged people. Then, some infantry equipment was allocated from the arsenal of the Mandalay family, plus the warehouse inventory of the original Frey family. Completed the full body armor of these people.

The original soldier holding a wooden shield and holding a spear is actually useless on the battlefield. Clay is the commander of the cavalry, so he has the opportunity to lead the infantry. He also prefers a small number of elites with higher overall quality Legion.

As for filling in the line, with so many nobles in the northern border and Hejian, there are always enough miscellaneous names to be able to pull them in. The Mandalay family's army is supposed to be the main force, so they can't do this kind of thing.

The army of the Mandalay family is waiting in the Twin River City, waiting for King Robb Stark's army to go south, and then join the army of the north. Although this part theoretically belongs to the riverland, but now because Mandalay The family belongs to the northern border, and this line has been blurred.

"Grandpa, I should be able to gain control of part of the army by leading the troops this time, but if Rob Stark no longer divides the troops, then I must listen to him. After all, he wears the crown, doesn't he?"

"Understood, what about Baigang? Do you want to continue with your previous arrangement?"

"Continue, we must have a large fleet, and I will use them to great use in the future, Grandpa, our ethnic language is "furious sea and raging waves", don't ignore the power of this sea."

"Okay, as long as you have an idea, that's all for this matter. You go to White Harbor first. I have ordered your Uncle Willis to prepare the army for you. This time it is the whole cavalry, 2000 people, all for you. You'll be fine with it later."

"Well, Robb Stark won't make things difficult for me now. In the entire North and the Riverlands, revenge is the number one thing, so they dare not touch me."

……

All that needs to be said has been said, and the rest are other things. Both Clay and the old man understand that this may be the last battle that the Manderly family will fight for their lord, the Stark family, who have been loyal to them for nearly a thousand years. up.

Early the next morning, Clay took a small team of guards and headed straight to the port rebuilt by the Bite Bay family. Garrison fleet.

When Clay crossed the Bite Bay and came to White Harbor, Rob Stark's king's order also arrived in White Harbor.

The meaning in the letter is very simple, hurry up, you, Clay Manderly, come to Winterfell first, and wait until you go south to talk about the army.

There is no way to refuse this, because Clay did not keep it completely secret when he left. It seems that there are also eyes in the Twins City that Winterfell arranged here. This is not necessarily arranged by Rob Stark, but The appearance of this letter meant that he acquiesced in the existence of such a thing.

So, Clay, who just drank a sip of water and didn't even sit on his buttocks, could only helplessly continue heading towards Winterfell.

The last time he came to Winterfell, he was just an unknown heir to White Harbor in the Seven Kingdoms, but now, everyone in Winterfell knew what he was called to come to Winterfell by Clay Manderly.

This battle was ostensibly aimed at Lannister in King's Landing, but Lannister stayed in King's Landing City. If the northerners wanted revenge, they had to defeat King's Landing, but this was not easy.

Moreover, King's Landing is down, how could you let Renly and Stannis stand by and stand by?

Originally, before Robb Stark took the crown, there was still room for this matter to turn around, and he told Renly and Stannis directly, whoever fought with me to kill the lion in King's Landing, I would be his vassal That's it.

But now, this possibility has been closed by Robb Stark himself, so the enemy in this battle has changed from one enemy to three in theory, and the northerners can go home to live their own lives, but blue Neither Li nor Stannis could tolerate the independence of the North and the Riverlands from the Seven Kingdoms.

Among other things, if this is agreed, look at the position between Harrenhal and King's Landing. If there is another war in the future, just station an elite cavalry at Harrenhal, gallop at full speed for two days and nights, and spare no effort Under the circumstances, you can directly rush to the city of King's Landing.

Moreover, the independence of the Riverlands and the Northern Territory means that the land transportation between the Valley and King's Landing has been cut off. Can the Valley still be expected to be loyal to the Iron Throne?The Baratheon family doesn't have dragons, and they can't fly through the Blood Gate.

Therefore, unless this kind of thing reaches an extreme state, it is impossible to happen at all, and Rob Stark, who has integrated the northern border and the riverland, can also compete with the three parties in terms of military strength.

At that time, the question will go back, why does Stark take off the crown for Baratheon and swear allegiance to the Iron Throne?

The final solution is not to have to fight a battle, whoever is tougher will be the boss. This is the most intuitive result of the lack of persuasive bloodlines.

Claims are as good as legal authority, and what is played on the battlefield is the truth.

In the last 200 years of Targaryen's rule, nothing like this has ever happened, because Targaryen is equal to the throne. This concept has become a general rule in the Seven Kingdoms. Only Targaryen can sit on the throne. Everyone else is considered rebellious.

Still the same route, go up along the White Knife River, then go to the King's Road, pass through Seven City, and enter the city from the east gate of Winterfell.

When Clay, who was covered in dust, got off his horse, he was greeted by his old acquaintance, Sir Rodrik. The chief coach of Winterfell looked much older, but his back was still straight.

"Thank the gods, Clay, you are finally here, why did you go to Essos at this time, you don't know how angry His Majesty Rob was when he heard the news."

"This has nothing to do with me, sir. I didn't know that the gods would guide Lord Ed to leave us at this time. I thought the war was over. Who knows, it has just begun."
