Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 202 Autumn is Short
Clay faintly felt that something was wrong. In the previous wars, everyone including him ignored the variable of the valley, but this time Roose Bolton and Meggie Seven never came back, but Clay heard Got some other flavors.

But now, for Clay, the first priority is to bring the valuable captives in his hands back to White Harbor. The interests of the Mandalay family come first, and the interests of the northern border are now far behind. up.

Going down the White Blade River, Clay couldn't do it even if he wanted to notify Rob Stark as soon as possible. He didn't have a raven in his hand, and he couldn't contact Rob Stark who didn't know where he was.

In this case, it is not his own problem. Anyway, the main force of the cavalry has been handed over to Earl Glover. No one can accuse him of supporting his own self-respect.

But in fact, this is definitely not a crime that can attract hostility, because everyone thinks so, everyone's buttocks are not clean, if this kind of crime is really used to convict the nobles, it will be a very bad start.

After Clay's horseshoe stepped into the huge white city gate of White Harbor, another half month had passed. This was the result of Clay's urging all the way, and the savages were afraid of being killed and did not dare to resist.

Uncle Willis, who had been waiting there for a long time, received Clay. Clay had already sent a letter to bring the situation to Willis as quickly as possible. After all, he was the chief steward of the Mandalay family in White Harbor. This kind of thing is not suitable for soldiers like Clay to do.

"Uncle, these captives will be handed over to you. Take good care of them. Except for 5000 people, the rest should be arranged as much as possible. If it doesn't work, haven't we cleared the Three Sisters Islands? Those who are disobedient will be given They were transported up, but the fleet was there anyway, so they couldn't escape."

In the hall of the Mandalay family in White Harbor, Clay, who finally took a breath, explained to his uncle what was going to happen next.

Of course Willis Mandalay agreed with Clay's idea. In fact, with such a large number of captives, only White Harbor can temporarily hold such a large number of captives in the entire northern border, because the population base is here.

If you want to change any small castle with a population of only a few thousand, if you bring 3 people there at once, it may not be certain who will still be the owner of that piece of land after a while.

"Clay, I have no problem here. It's not difficult to arrange them, and I observed that most of them are women, which makes it easier. There are quite a lot of men living alone in Baigang."

Clay nodded. His uncle Willis was also a sensible person. Although these prisoners of war belonged to the entire Northern Territory in name, everything had changed since Clay made a tour in Winterfell.

This is something you can't eat in Winterfell. Since I took it away, don't even think about getting it back.

Of course Willis understood this truth, so he didn't say at all that this group of people would keep them and plan to divide them after the war. It was reasonable to eat them in their stomachs as soon as possible.

"Uncle, try to pick better quality ones, and distribute them to our potential conscripts. Our family's current military strength is still too small. We have so many people in Baigang, and how many troops there are, which is not enough."

Clay reminded that although Williams didn't understand this, he didn't understand that the family already has an army of 4000 people outside, isn't that enough?

But everyone in the Mandalay family knew that Clay was the core of the family's future. Therefore, as long as it was not a matter of principle, family members never asked so many questions about him.

"Okay, I will tell them that if they are given women, they are obliged to obey the call of the family to go to the battlefield at any time."

"Well, that's enough, uncle, how is our fleet going?"

Clay asked another question. There was no need for politeness between them, and a concise conversation between them was the most comfortable.

"It's still the same. Five new ships have been launched this year. After all, building a ship is not about making armor. The time span is always very long. You can't be in a hurry. Just wait."

Willis smiled. He fully supported Clay in the matter of spending money on building ships and expanding the Mandalay family's fleet. After all, trade was far more important than land in the Mandalay family's financial revenue.

A huge fleet, in addition to having more ships to participate in the trade itself, a strong force will also reduce the cost of the trade itself, thereby increasing the profits of the Mandalay family.

……

Clay didn't stay in White Harbor for too long. After confirming that Uncle Willis had indeed arranged the 3 people in an orderly manner, Clay's attention returned to the southern battlefield.

After thinking about it, Clay decided to send a letter to Daenerys of Dorne. Neither of them is a hypocritical person, and the content of the letter has almost no topic of emotional exchange.

Clay wants to remind Daenerys to speed up the integration of Dorne. He has a hunch that some unexpected changes have taken place in the war in Westeros, and some arrangements must be advanced.

After arranging everything, Clay took the troops back to White Harbor with him, took a boat directly from White Harbor to the fastest route, and headed quickly towards the southwest of Bite Bay.

Under the condition that Bite Bay has become the inner bay of the Mandalay family, the downwind sailing was extremely smooth. Along the way, they encountered many fleets of the Mandalay family. After recognizing Clay, all the fleets paid tribute at sea. .

The pirates were never to be seen again, for they either sank to the bottom of the Bite Bay, or fled across the fjords to escape this terrible place.

When Clay arrived at the Twin River City, he found that there was no army at all. In the entire Twin River City, except for the foot cavalry left by the Mandalay family, there was not a single soldier. Burr Stark is in battle.

Fortunately, the old man is still staying in the Twin River City, and Rob Stark is considered a kind person. After finding out that the Manderly family still fully supports him, he gave Wilfried Manderly as a hostage. I paid it back.

Clay didn't have time to care about his sister for the time being. He came directly to the old man's study to find him. He must know the situation in the southern battlefield as soon as possible. After all, he doesn't have an army in his hands now.

"Grandpa, it's just the two of us here, I'll just say something straight."

In the damp tower, the fireplace was burning vigorously, and the heat slightly dispelled the mild musty smell in the room. Clay and Earl Wyman sat opposite each other. On the table between the two, there was... a large row of empty bottles .

"Okay! Tell me, anyway, there are no outsiders. I know that you have been holding back for a long time. A real dragon is crawling on the ground. It is impossible not to be useless. Tell me, anyway, you can't tell others, otherwise, you will be scared to death." them."

The old man laughed, and touched Clay with the wine bottle, making a crisp sound.

Under the reflection of the fire, the old man's already healthy face became even more rosy. This year, he witnessed the lightning-like rise of his family under the leadership of his grandson without anyone noticing.

If it is true on the bright side, it spans the entire Bite Bay, the territory is equal to more than half of the river, and there are nearly infantry cavalry, well-equipped.

More importantly, behind this family, there are four real dragons soaring into the sky, and the whole of Dorne is secretly echoing each other. Under such circumstances, who in the Seven Kingdoms would dare to despise themselves?
Clay was directly crowned in the Twin River City, and the four dragons circled around the heads of the major families. They all had to pinch their noses to recognize it temporarily, but at most questioned Clay's blood, and this crown, they all had to recognize it. .

The concept that a dragon is equal to a king has been passed down for more than 200 years, and it cannot be dissipated overnight.

"Daenerys Targaryen has raised the Targaryen banner in Dorne, have you heard the news?"

Clay is not sure how Daenerys is doing in Dorne, and he is not sure how much resistance there will be in Dorne. Although Prince Doran has guaranteed himself, Clay can't fully trust him.

Strictly speaking, the current Daenerys is already his granddaughter-in-law, so Earl Wyman has a natural affection for this name. He nodded with a smile, and said to Clay:

"Of course, this kind of news spread quickly. I have known about it for a long time. I believe that the kings and dukes in the south also know about it."

Clay understood. It seems that things in Dorne are going well. It is not surprising that Prince Doran did not make any troubles. After all, Gelesos is also there, and the pressure of the dragon is still sufficient.

"Grandpa, I won't be able to stay in Twin River City for long. After all, we still have to stay in the northern camp for the time being. I believe you don't want to make too much trouble with the original northern nobles."

The old man nodded approvingly. What Clay said was right. He really didn’t want to lose face to face with his old brothers. Asshole, but there are guys out there who can be brothers.

"As long as you know what you are doing, I will not interfere with you, but remember, no matter when, your own life is the most important."

In fact, the old man doesn't know how he should tell his grandson. No matter how he looks at the young man in front of him, he can stand on his own and even far surpass it.

But he always wanted to say something to Clay, especially when Clay was about to go to the battlefield. He remembered that when he went to the battlefield, he had already gone to see the father of the gods.

Clay nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, he opened a bottle of wine for his grandfather very skillfully. Men don't need to talk so much, there are more ways to communicate.

Outside the window, the footsteps of winter are getting closer and closer. The city of Twin Rivers, which has not seen snow for more than ten years, is now covered with snowflakes. came in.

This is destined to be a short autumn, and everyone must cherish everything in front of them.

Feeling the piercing north wind, Clay mounted his horse and waved goodbye to the old man. Behind him, the silent cavalry slowly followed.

They disappeared into the snow.
