Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 219

In the upper reaches of the Blue Fork River, the river is fast, but the channel is very narrow.

In the entire upper reaches of the Blue Fork River, there is only one ferry that can cross the Blue Fork River to the east.

There, it is called Beauty Collection.

Don't discuss the origin of the name, just need to know that there is the current target of the Clay army.

After two days and nights of struggle, Clay's troops were already ahead of Jon Royce, who was following him, by more than a day's distance, and this was considered a safe distance for the pure cavalry formations of both sides.

However, if you spread out the map of the land between the rivers, you can see that the distance between each river in the Trident River Basin is actually not that big, which caused trouble for the large army to move around.

Therefore, if Clay wants to completely make Jon Royce completely dizzy, he must do one more thing.

A day's lead is not enough, there must be more, after all, Clay must buy enough time for the main army in the east to go south, and it is best, before they are in place, the valley army of Jon Royce , has been wandering north of the Red Fork River.

Clay must admit that those who have never fought a battle and those who have survived have a different ability to adapt to the battlefield, which is completely different.

There are 9000 people in the Eastern Legion, 7000 of which are recruits. Among the 7000 people, there are [-] unorganized and undisciplined savage troops who fight only by brute force. Clay is very clear about the specific combat effectiveness.

Therefore, this army cannot be used to attack at all, especially in the face of the well-equipped Valley Cavalry Legion. They will be pulled back and forth, and after exhausting their energy, they will be divided and surrounded.

And there is only one way to exert their power, and that is to force the enemy to attack them actively, and they use their numerical advantage, adjust their formation, and use their resolute defense to counterattack.

Looking at the entire battlefield in the river, only Earl Harroway's small town met the requirements. This is the reason why the enemy must be saved after attacking. However, before that, they must have enough time to build fortifications , to prevent being defeated by World War I.

After spending most of the day, Clay's striker approached the beauty collection.

There was no one in this riverside town at this time. After Robb Stark was defeated near Harrenhal, all the riverside nobles realized that something was wrong.

As a result, places like Beauty Collection, which had little defense but had a large population, were completely abandoned, and all residents retreated to the nearest large castle to avoid the disaster of war.

Now, all the residents of Beauty Set, a small town on the banks of the Blue Fork River, have evacuated to the nearest city, Raventree City.

When Clay's army arrived, not a single person could be seen on the periphery of the entire beauties, but it seemed that this was not the case inside the town.

……

"Master Clay, I found out that there is a group of people in the town. I found 54 people, but I'm not sure if there are people hiding in other places."

The demon hunter's personal guard, Krissen, who went to secretly investigate, has returned.

After their team found someone in the town, they immediately passed the news to Clay.

Clay immediately ordered the army to stop. The Earl of Raventree City once told himself that there should be no one in the Beauty Collection. What happened to this group of more than 50 people who suddenly came out?
It can't be the enemy army, that idiot Jon Royce was frightened by his own scout strangulation battle, and he is still far away from him.

Therefore, when he heard that there were people in the town, Clay's first reaction was that the deserted Beauty Collection had been taken over by a gang of bandits.

In this age of war and chaos, it is quite normal for bandits to appear. A few pieces of rotten armor and a few rusty long swords can do business. As long as you are familiar with the terrain and repel a few attacks from the lord, the basic lord will By default they exist.

This is the evil result of the lack of supreme power. The country has no standing army, and everything has to be provided by the lords at the grassroots level. Therefore, as long as the lords on the land are settled, it doesn't matter what the king thinks.

"Chrissen, can you figure out who it is? We can't let anyone know about our whereabouts. If they are bandits, we should kill them immediately, and we can't let them be the eyes of the Valley people."

Clay's tone was serious. This is not the time to show his kindness. If these people are really bandits or something else, as long as they are alive, their own movements may be exposed, and this is Clay. unaffordable price.

"Lord Clay...they seem to be soldiers...and if I'm not mistaken, it seems...they seem to have the Winter Sun flag of our northern border, but I'm not sure, that thing is dirty and rotten, just looked at it perhaps."

Krissen was a little hesitant. As a veteran on the battlefield, he had participated in several wars with Clay, so he could still tell the difference between bandits and soldiers.

Although in some cases, the soldiers are bandits, but what Kristen saw was that the troops were heavily guarded, and the camp was stationed in a very organized manner, even with a few hidden sentry points. If he wasn't a demon hunter, Can't even notice it.

This is definitely not something that farmers in the countryside can do. It is impossible for them to do these things without being a soldier.

Moreover, Krissen observed that these people did not seem to have lost their organization, and the shadow of the army could still be seen on them.

Hearing this, Clay frowned.

"Army? Banner of the Winter Sun?"

This can't be... a remnant of the Karstarks in the North, can it?
He believed in the judgment of his personal guard, if he was not sure enough, he would not have mentioned the pattern on the flag to himself.

Moreover, Clay has always found it strange that Rob Stark brought nearly 2 people with him in the battle north of Harrenhal. Finished.

It's been so long, where has this rout gone?
"Give me a secret post, and at the same time, order the army to start encircling. No matter who they are, we have to make arrangements near the beauties."

"If they are our people, we will take them away. If they are bandits, we will kill them on the spot and leave no one behind."

"Yes! Lord Clay!"

The demon hunter pro-guard team who led them away quickly completed their task, and a man wearing tattered armor and a foul smell was brought to Clay.

Krissen and the others didn't ask him any questions, they just used the Axii seal to put him to sleep. If they wanted to ask specific questions, they could only ask Clay, the commander of the army. They were just personal guards and knew their identities very well.

Nodding to them, Clay stretched out his hand, his magic power surged, and he snapped his fingers in front of the man who fell asleep due to magic power.

After the influence of the magic faded, the man quickly regained consciousness.

The first reaction of waking up, this guy jumped up from the ground, and touched the long sword at his waist, but it was empty.

Krissen and the others had searched this man long ago. Although they knew that none of the five of them might be able to beat Clay, this was what the personal guards should do, and they were never sloppy.

After realizing that his waist was empty, the unkempt man was obviously taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Clay who was standing opposite him.

In an instant, his gaze was nailed to death by the golden halberd mermaid flag waving in the wind behind Clay.

Perhaps realizing something, the man ignored the black mud on his hands, rubbed his bloodshot eyes hard, and finally saw Clay's face clearly.

And the next moment, the man knelt down, hugged Clay's calf, and cried loudly.

"Master Kray...Master, you are finally here, finally here! We...we are defeated, and the brothers are all dead!"

The man cried heartbreakingly. As the most proud soldiers in the northern border, they followed Clay all the way and were invincible. They dared to attack three or five times as many enemies. However, such a strong army survived a sneak attack and chaos. , died inexplicably.

This directly broke their backs. Seeing that their unarmed comrades who had just woken up were hacked and killed wantonly by the Valley people, but they were powerless and could only flee instinctively. Every time they thought about it, it was like a nightmare.

"Are you... a Karstark cavalryman, my man?"

Clay asked.

The soldiers nodded when they heard this sentence. They left Clay and went south first, but they encountered a surprise attack not long after meeting Robb Stark.

In addition to being useless, it is still useless!
"My lord, there are more than 70 of our brothers in the collection of beauties. Lord Rickard Karstark is also there. He is injured. There is no medical treatment. There is nothing. My lord, I will show you he!"

The soldier suddenly thought of something, stood up as if he was pulling Clay towards the direction where he was captured, but when he saw Clay in a fur cloak, his dirty hands stopped in mid-air.

Clay did not embarrass him, nodded, and whispered two words:

"lead the way."
