Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 205 The Best Chance
The scouts who went south finally brought back the news, but it was not good news.

Four of the ten scouts came back, and the rest died in the scouting battle with the Valley people and Lannister. Don't think that scouting is a good job. Under normal circumstances, their death rate is higher than that of the second scout. A row of soldiers is even taller.

They failed to reach Harrenhal. In fact, they were driven back halfway through the journey, but the scouts managed to find the battlefield where the valley heavy cavalry attacked the northern army.

They didn't have time to bury the bones of almost 2 people. After determining the basic situation of the battlefield, they immediately continued their mission.

It was not until they returned to the Twins that they told Clay what they had seen.

The location of the battlefield was south of the town of Earl Harroway, almost approaching Harrenhal.

It seems that Robb Stark didn't wait for the army from the riverlands to come to join him at all, and planned to take the army directly to Harrenhal and put the troops on the side of King's Landing.

This tactic cannot be said to be wrong. If the variable of Valley is not considered, it makes sense to do so, but the problem is this. Valley stabbed Rob Stark severely when he was unprepared. .

"There is no way to calculate how many people died on our side. There are corpses all over the ground, including ours and people from the Valley. It's really..."

The face of the scout who returned was filled with pain. Anyone who saw so many troops on their side exposed to the wilderness would feel bad.

"We saw the flags of the major families inside. In addition to those from the northern border, we also found a few broken eagle flags. We can be sure that it is us who were attacked by the rascals in the Vale of Arryn."

Clay nodded, and after inquiring about some details of the battlefield, he let them go down. These scouts would dance on the tip of their knives every time they went on a mission, and they would lose their heads if they were not careful.

It's time for them to take a good rest, after all, they may not have much time to rest next.

"It is now confirmed that the Vale of Arryn has indeed participated in the war, and the contents of Robb Stark's letter are still credible."

The old man stroked his curly white beard all over his cheeks, frowned and expressed his conclusion.

"Well, then, we can only plan that Robb Stark sent us more than 1 people in the first battle. Although I know this is unlikely, we must expect the enemy to be lenient."

To be honest, Clay still doesn't believe that the cavalry in the Vale of Arryn can be strong enough to eat up the entire northern army in one battle, and give him another 2 people. They don't have the ability.

Although there was no information from the south, Clay guessed that the Vale Arryn cavalry group, which disappeared after the battle, might just go on chasing the scattered troops of the northern army.

They want to weaken the war potential of the northern border as much as possible, so that the northern border can no longer interfere with the political changes in the south.

Tsk, this balanced policy is really good, and it deserves to be taken seriously.

"Clay, I have an idea, would you like to listen to it?"

"Grandpa, tell me."

"Well... You see, we still have 2000 people stationed in the Twin River City, and the new force of White Harbor can go south at any time. No matter how you look at it, we are a tough idea, compared to other places on the entire front."

Clay followed the old man's fingers, looked at the positions where the two sides were facing each other and where the attack might occur, thought for a moment, and agreed with the old man.

"Yes, I think that as long as the people of the Valley have no problem with their brains, there is no need to provoke us. If they dare to attack us, we will definitely be able to hold on with the Twin River City."

The old man followed Clay's words and continued:
"If the news spreads back to the northern border, the major families will probably risk their lives to squeeze out the last family fortune in order to save their patriarchs."

"At that time, the army from the north will go south through the Neck. As long as Edmure Tully is not stupid and leads the army of Riverrun to block the Blood Gate, these eagle cubs will be in a dilemma."

"So, I judge that they shouldn't come to attack us. How many gold dragons are we worth here? The most important thing now is to find out how big the appetite of these valley people is."

This sentence is actually the core of the problem. Littlefinger planned all this, but Clay understands that he definitely doesn't want to completely kill the North, and he can't do it.

Now both Roose Bolton and Mitch Seven are trapped in the Eagle's Nest City, not to mention the unlucky Earl Seven, but Roose Bolton, this guy plus Arya who was arrested very early Stark.

Does it look familiar?Isn't this a well-organized Winterfell Returning Home Mission?

As long as Robb Stark is killed, this guy Roose Bolton can take his people and send Arya Stark back to Winterfell in a pretentious name, and then find a chance to let Bran Stark died of illness, and Sansa Stark married a nobleman he wanted to win over.

Or even simpler, directly rely on the military power to control the weakened Winterfell, and then marry Sansa Stark, just be more ruthless, let Rickon Stark disappear, and then find a powerful king to endorse, It's done.

In fact, that's how Roose Bolton played in his memory, but in the end he got off the hook and was killed by his illegitimate son, Little Peeling, and it was his own fault.

Clay wasn't sure if Roose Bolton had rebelled, but given the precarious state of the North and Robb Stark, Littlefinger was still with that guy, so it's no wonder he couldn't think about it.

After thinking about this, Clay can only complain about Robb Stark's envoy configuration this time. It's not that sleepy sent a pillow. If you change someone, maybe it won't happen.

The three major powers in the north, led by Stark, used to be Bolton's second, but now, it is his own Mandalay family that has firmly secured the second position, but his background is not good, and Bolton's history is still red. What about the king?

Littlefinger had no choice but to attack Roose Bolton.

"Grandpa, do you mean that these eagle cubs may attack the princes of the Three Rivers Valley who are almost undefended?"

"Is it impossible? If I were the commander of the Eagle's Nest City, I would burn, kill and loot your fiefs non-stop. Anyway, most of my side are cavalry. As long as the main force of the Riverlands is tricked out of Riverrun City and left That tortoise shell is full of flaws where you can bite."

To be honest, Clay felt that his old man's analysis was correct. Littlefinger really might have done this. Edmure Tully lacked prestige, and his vassals would definitely be impatient when they saw that their old nest was taken away.

At that time, Edmure Tully, who couldn't bear the pressure, hastily dispatched troops. If Clay commanded the army in the valley, he only needed to send elite troops to cut off the logistics of the army in the river, and then crush them with a thunderous blow.

"Well, it is indeed very possible. In this case, we will send the raven to Edmure Tully first, and let him try not to move. His 2 people are squatting in Riverrun, and the cavalry in the valley will never be able to relax. "

"If they are defeated by the First World War, it will be really over."

The father and the father stared at the map, both a little worried.

In fact, the way to break the game has been mentioned by Clay before, it's amazing, go straight to Dorne, ride a dragon and fly to the Eagle's Nest City to fuck his mother!Let you know what Mandalay Wrath is.

But it is the most enjoyable method and the least cost-effective method for the future, and Clay does not want to use it unless it is a last resort.

"Clay, I can ask you this now, what are you going to...how to deal with the Stark family?"

Decker, who was contemplating with his eyebrows fixed, was stopped by the old man's sudden question. He raised his head, looked at his old man's troubled face, and probably understood what was going on in his heart.

Seeing that Clay didn't speak, Earl Wyman thought he didn't understand, so he said another sentence:
"Let me put it another way, do you really want to save Rob Stark? He is still in Harrenhal, the tomb where Harren the Black was buried, at least the city wall is intact."

"According to my estimation, with that city wall, Tywin Lannister slipped out of King's Landing City. There must be no siege equipment. It may not be easy to chew it off, so... it can still be saved."

"Finally, I actually have another consideration. Robb Stark's battle brought the North into a ditch. It must be said that all the nobles who followed Robb Stark have Responsibility, but only you, only I, the Mandalay family."

"There is no responsibility. He asked you to lead the troops to the Great Wall. It has nothing to do with you."

The old man looked into his grandson's eyes and said slowly:
"If, in the future, you want this northern territory to kneel down to you smoothly, there is no better opportunity than now."

"How to do it, you choose yourself, the current family, you have the final say!"
