Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 239

Back then, when Aegon Targaryen descended from the clouds on Balerion, the Black Death God, and appeared above God's Eye Lake, King Harren suddenly discovered that the thick city walls and towers piercing into the sky could not resist the dragon.

What happened next was well known throughout the Seven Kingdoms. The cruel, black-hearted Harren was burned to death in the Burning King Tower of Harrenhal by the dragon flames of Balerion. At this point, the once-prominent Harren family disappeared in smoke.

People often say that Harrenhal is a cursed place. When the largest fortress in the Seven Kingdoms was cast, it was rumored that Harren the Black used the blood and mortar of the people from the river to build every piece of the castle. brick.

This curse prevented any family from occupying Harrenhal for a long time. Like the Harren family's unwilling and desperate complaint, all the families that occupied Harrenhal died.

But all of this has nothing to do with the fact that the current owner of the castle does not have a bronze star, because they are surrounded by 2 people in the castle, and they are living a precarious life. Maybe the castle will fall tomorrow. What kind of curse are you thinking about at this time? It's because I ate too much.

Thank you that when Aegon Targaryen did it, he only burned the tallest towers and did not touch the astonishing city walls of the same size.

Otherwise, if the Black Death had opened two holes in the city wall, then Robb Stark, who was trapped in the castle, would have been completely finished with the thousands of people in his hands now.

The walls of Harrenhal are unbelievably thick. Twenty war horses can pass through the top of the walls at the same time. After 300 years of wind and rain, the gates, which are higher than the Winterfell Castle, are still intact.

Relying on such over-standard fortifications, after Robb Stark led 2 remnants into Harrenhal, he forcibly withstood Tywin Lannister's [-]-strong onslaught. So far, one No flaws were left for the old lion.

For the past half month, Harrenhal had just caught up with the rain, so the Lannister army stopped the offensive, and the daily task was to fight each other with the northern army on the city wall.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the soldiers in heavy armor could not attack the city at all. It was a huge physical exertion for the soldiers to attack forcibly while they were all soaked.

At this time, climbing the high wall of Harrenhal with a long ladder is no different from courting death.

Since the southwest of Harrenhal is close to God's Eye Lake, the attack has always been on the north and east gates of the castle.

However, the defensive measures left by Harun Blackheart back then were too complete. As a result, Lannister was unable to finally capture either of these two city gates even though he had the superior force.

Tywin Lannister could only be in a hurry outside the city wall. At this time, no tricks could be used. If he wanted to use means, at least he could communicate. It was impossible to achieve it in this state.

Also, time was not on their side, and there was enough food in Harrenhal to feed Rob Stark's army of less than 4000 men for a long time, as long as it didn't go moldy.

But Tywin Lannister outside the city, the logistics of his army can only be maintained by Littlefinger who took the initiative to bring the valley to form an alliance.

Also, once any Baratheon wins the final victory in King's Landing in the south, they will understand with their toes that the next target must be their side, after all, there is still a child king sitting here.

By that time, Robb Stark in Harrenhal hadn't solved it. The 1 army in Riverrun cut off his retreat, and the cavalry in Eagle's Nest City was only [-]. Mandalay is also constantly accumulating strength to prepare for a counterattack.

As long as you spread out the map, you will know that he is surrounded by enemies, exactly the same as in King's Landing at that time.

Therefore, he must find a way to gain something as soon as possible, whether it is the people of the valley defeating Edmure Tully, or rushing into the city on his side, or capturing Rob Stark alive.

He couldn't delay any longer, he played Renly and Stannis, but when they came to a conclusion, it was over for him.

But he didn't know that a big change was about to happen in Harrenhal, and his opportunity was coming soon.

……

"Your Majesty, you still need to rest more. Don't go on patrol on the city wall. If the soldiers see your current state, they may lose their morale."

The only one who can talk so bluntly with Robb Stark, the current King of the North and the Riverlands, is Theon Greyjo, whom Robb Stark has always relied on as his confidant and brother Iraq.

This kid was chased back by Clay and Caitlin Tully a year ago. Naturally, the subsequent series of bad things that reversed his three views did not happen. In addition, during that time, Ironborn really helped The northern border is busy.

Therefore, Theon Greyjoy's status in the northern army was not bad, and he followed Robb Stark to the north and south, and won the approval of some northern nobles.

It was he who had brought Robb Stark out of the camp when the Battle of the Camp had taken place, and escorted the King of the North and the Riverlands all the way south into Harrenhal.

So, now the eldest son of Balon Greyjoy, the heir of the Iron Islands, unexpectedly became one of the core figures of the remnants of the northern army at Harrenhal, participating in all military councils without question.

Theon Greyjoy, speaking to Robb Stark, who was reclining in the soft chair, with a sallow face and a sickly look, said in a very serious tone.

"No... um... I have to go, the soldiers need to see me, ahem..."

said Robb Stark weakly, with a violent cough.

In a battle three days ago, the young King of the North went to the city wall, and despite the opposition of the nobles, he and the soldiers hacked and killed Lannister who had climbed the wall on the top of the city.

Young Wolf Lord's martial arts is undoubtedly very strong. After fighting for quite a long time, his body and sword were covered with Lannister's blood, and he didn't have a single wound.

But it's easy to hide with open guns, but it's hard to guard against hidden arrows. Just when the battle was about to end, an arrow that came from nowhere, got into Robb Stark's armpit when he raised his arm to slash. Down.

Fortunately, it was the right side, and Rob Stark had more than one piece of armor on him, otherwise, he would have confessed on the spot.

However, this arrow still made the King of the Northern Territory and Hejian Land lose his fighting ability on the spot, and was urgently supported by the guards.

But this scene was seen by the soldiers present after all. After the battle, some bad messages spread throughout Harrenhal. This was the result of Lannister's deliberate promotion. Sharing itself is motivation.

Unfortunately, after Robb Stark was helped back to the room of the Lord of the Burning King Tower where he was, he soon fell into a faint due to bleeding.

Although the bleeding stopped in the end, Rob Stark did not appear in front of everyone for the first time, which further proved some of the speculations in the rumors, and the nobles were powerless.

On the morning of the third day after his injury, Rob Stark finally woke up. The weather was humid, and the wound inevitably fell into infection, even if there were doctors accompanying the army who were constantly applying medicine.

In this era when there is no basic chemistry and biology at all, it is simply impossible to develop a professional antibacterial drug. It is more realistic to hope for magic and the gift of the gods.

Robb Stark, who woke up, immediately realized that he had to appear in front of the sergeants as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be judged dead by the rumors, and there might be desperate nobles or soldiers who would give Lannister The door is open.

The matter of his own injury and coma was strictly controlled. Only great nobles like Theon Greyjoy and Jon Amber, who had a broken left hand, were qualified to know his specific physical state.

Regarding Robb Stark's request, Theon Greyjoy refused directly and neatly:
"Look at yourself, it's raining so much outside, with your current physical condition, how can you still look like the high-spirited king of the north?"

Theon Greyjoy was really worried, and Rob Stark insisted on going out. If his condition continued to deteriorate due to heavy rain and cold wind, something serious would happen.

The doctor accompanying the army made it clear that if Rob Stark could wake up, it was the greatest blessing from the gods to the Stark family. If he messed around, he couldn't guarantee anything.

No one criticizes this military doctor. After all, everyone knows his level. During the days of being under siege, he has been relying on this guy to bring dozens of doctors who have been trained and started to work. I don’t know how many wounded soldiers who would have died .

Robb Stark was desperate to make up for the authority he had lost as King of the North and the Riverlands after the Battle of the Camp with this seemingly heroic act of going to war.

However, with his accidental injury, all these efforts were in vain and backfired.

"Theon... did I do something wrong?"

Robb Stark didn't insist on getting up anymore, the powerlessness all over his body and his body that was still chilling let him know that he was really close to seeing the gods.

He thought that he was not afraid of death, but if he died in Harrenhal now, the remaining 3000 people in the entire northern army would collapse immediately and be slaughtered by Lannister.

Theon Greyjoy was also very sorry to hear him say that.

Since he came to Winterfell, he has always had a very good relationship with Rob Stark. He watched with his own eyes that Rob Stark led the army to win the victory over Lannister, step by step towards the king. Location.

But he is also a personal experiencer of the raid on the camp, and he understands the sense of gap in Rob Stark's heart very well.

From the king who commanded an army of 3000 men and went south aggressively to avenge his father, to now there are only more than [-] people left, who are actually prisoners shrunk in the cold wind and rain. It is impossible for anyone to accept it immediately.

"Rob, you've done a good job, no matter how difficult it is, we can persevere."

Theon Greyjoy whispered comfortingly.

He thought of the young man who drew his sword and wanted to kill him in the wolf forest outside Winterfell.

He hated the other side, but now, he wished he could stand on the high walls of Harrenhal and see the other side's banner appear behind the Lannister army.

Use the best cavalry to smash the Lannister line in one fell swoop, and return everything that the northern army has encountered to these guys.

But he knows how difficult it is. As a member of the high-level army of the Northern Territory, he knows too well what impact the participation of [-] cavalry in the valley will have on the entire battle situation.

If you want to solve this game of dead chess, it is as difficult as climbing the sky.
