Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Clay's waiting was rewarded. Early the next morning, the huge copper bell used in Haijiang City to remind residents of enemy invasion rang.

As the bridgehead of the Riverlands to defend against the Ironborn invasion, the sound of this big bell can only mean one thing, the Ironborn are coming!

Although faced with the Ironborn invasion, Earl Mallister did not panic at all.

Just kidding, there are more than 5,000 powerful cavalry behind him. Even if the entire iron fleet comes, they will not be able to defeat these 5,000 charge cavalry on land.

However, when he stood on the high platform of his castle and looked at the sea of ​​Ironmen Bay, he found that something seemed not quite right.

The silhouette of an Ironborn sail did appear on the sea. It looked like a standard predatory longship. The earl, who knew this well, believed in his eyes. But the problem was that after looking for a long time, there was only one ship. ah.

"Is this the only ship?" Earl Jason Mallister asked the soldiers on duty beside him. The northern nobles who stayed in the city also came after hearing the news, and they were all crowded on the high platform at this time.

Being stared at by so many nobles, the soldier from Haijiang City felt a little frightened. His voice trembled and he answered his master's question in a low voice:

"Yes, my lord, it's just one ship..."

With a crisp sound, Count Mallister's big hand slapped the helmet of the soldier standing guard, but it was not heavy.

The earl cursed and said:

"Why are you ringing a bell on a ship? Could it be attacking? Our own fleet in Haijiang City can destroy it."

The soldier lowered his head and endured his master's anger, but everyone present still heard the soldier's whisper:

"You're right, ringing the bell when an Ironborn appears in the bay..."

"Get out!"

Count Mallister's face was a little uneasy. After scolding the unfortunate soldier, he smiled at the northern nobles present with an apologetic smile:

"Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb you. It seems to be a false alarm, but I don't know what this ship is here for. Do you guys have any clues?"

The princes of the Northern Territory looked at each other. As the leaders of the Northern Territory, they knew the news that the Iron People were preparing to join the war, but they did not know as much detail as Clay, the commander of the Western Route Army.

"Lord Earl, let the long ship dock. There are so many of us here, and the army is just outside the city. A ship is not a threat at all. Besides, in my opinion, this is a ship that comes to deliver news. It is definitely Not here to fight."

Earl Glover touched his chin covered with gray beard and gave his own advice.

Seeing that all the northern guests present had this intention, Earl Mallister did not insist and gave his soldiers a release but alert order.

At the same time, two Mallister family cavalrymen with golden eagles engraved on their armor immediately flew out of the city and informed the commander Clay Mandler, who was staying in the army, about the news.

Regardless of whether he likes it or not, the one who has the final word here is Clay, and the 5,000-strong army is also in his hands. How to make the decision is actually his business.

…

On the sea surface of Ironborn Bay, Asha Greyjoy, the captain of the Black Wind, raised his eyebrows as he looked at the Mallister family fleet giving way to the port.

It seemed that the nobleman of Haijiang City was not a fool, and did not command several broken ships in the port to unanchor and set sail to drive him away.

This saves me a lot of effort, because now, theoretically, I am on the same side as these people, and they are all people who want to take out the Lannister.

Thinking about the noble from Winterfell, Asha Greyjoy was a little annoyed.

One is because these northerners who flaunt their honor actually use their younger brother as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Greyjoy family openly. The other is because his father obviously still values ​​his younger brother more. No matter how good he is, he can't be worth it. There is an extra piece of flesh on Xion's crotch.

My father agreed to join this war and joined the northern side, which meant that he still had the idea of ​​​​taking back his younger brother as his heir. There was no way, because the male inheritance rights were before females, and Asha was angry. And helpless.

Asha Greyjoy would not let herself give up easily, so she volunteered to come here, hoping to meet the commander of the northern army.

Before she came, Victarion Greyjoy had stopped her, fearing that she would be captured by the Northern Army. Asha said this:

"My brother is in their hands, so we followed them to grab the Lannister gold. However, if they detain me, can my father and uncle let them go?"

Theon being a hostage is a legacy issue from history. Now that the two families have formed an alliance, the nobles in the north will only detain Asha Greyjoy if their brains are caught in the door.

She is not the first heir. Detaining her will only cause a break between the North and the Iron Islands. Only crazy people would do this.

"Let's go ashore."

Asha told her sailors and pulled down the sails. The Black Wind, which belonged to her, slowly approached the port under the surveillance of four or five Mallister family warships.

Arriving on the dock, Asha Greyjoy was a little dazed because she saw a large group of richly dressed nobles looking at her not far away.

After all, she was the daughter of a sea monster, and she recognized the heraldic family crests on several of them.

These people are all great nobles in the north.

Could it be that the Northern Army has already arrived here?

Asha thought to herself that at this time, she saw a middle-aged noble wearing the same clothes as the flag on the tower walking forward and asked herself very stiffly:

"Tie Zhong, tell me your identity and the purpose of your coming to our Haijiang City."

Although Asha Greyjoy was very proud at heart, she had no intention of quarreling with the nobles in front of her at this time.

She said rather bachelorly:

"Asha Greyjoy, in the name of my father, Balon Greyjoy of Pyke City, I want to meet with the commander of the Northern Army to discuss the issue of sending troops."

…

Clay got the news, but had no intention of going to the city. No matter who the Iron Islands sent, they had to come here to see him.

After waiting for about half an hour, Clay saw his guest in his military tent.

Seeing the tall figure walking in, Clay's eyes swept up from her hips and legs, feeling a little dazed.

Is it a woman?

Then he realized that Asha Greyjoy was originally a woman. During this period, his eyes were full of rough men, and he didn't react when he suddenly saw a woman.

He was sizing up Asha Greyjoy, who was also sizing him up. Asha didn't expect that the northern commander in front of her would be so young.

He looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he is tall enough, his youthfulness cannot be concealed.

And she also discovered that in addition to the running wolf flag of the Stark family, the flags hanging in the commander's tent also had a mermaid flag that he was not very familiar with.

This means that the young man in front of me is not a member of the Stark family?

This is interesting, who is this person, and why can he command so many powerful elite cavalry from the north?

She saw along the way that these northern nobles were led by this young man. To her, these northern nobles did not say a word and left everything to this young man.

"Take a seat, Miss Asha Greyjoy, this is the military, these are the conditions."

Clay was the first to break the silence. He pointed to the chair on the right side of Asha, indicating that the other party was free.

Asha Greyjoy didn't say thank you, she put herself into the chair carelessly, put her slender legs on the wooden box, and asked:

"Won't you introduce yourself, young commander?"

"As you wish, Miss Asha Greyjoy."

Clay pointed to the mermaid flag behind him.

"White Harbor, Clay Manderly, the current commander of the Northern Army."

Asha was a little surprised, because in his impression, young men of this grade usually like to express themselves. They can push themselves to the top of the mountain and never stay halfway up the mountain, especially when facing women.

But when the man in front of him introduced himself, he just said a stiff sentence without any follow-up, as if it didn't matter at all.

Asha Greyjoy didn't give up. She also wanted to try to seduce the young commander. After all, she knew very well what was going on in the mind of a man of this age.

She flipped up her short hair, stood up from the chair, walked around the table that looked like a makeshift, and came to Clay's side.

Clay didn't move. He couldn't figure out what this girl was going to do. Besides, he wasn't worried about being in any danger at all. Is the power of the witcher a joke?

He just gave a faint warning:

"Be careful, Miss Asha Greyjoy. You are restless in this place. There is no guarantee that you will make it out alive."

Hearing this, Asha raised her eyebrows. This determination made her more interested in this young man named Clay Mandler, so she leaned down and placed her mouth on Clay next to the ear.

"Is that all? Master Clay Manderly, don't you say anything more to me? It's just you and me in this room..."

There was nothing like orchid breath and the delicate fragrance of a woman. Clay's keen sense of smell quite ruined the atmosphere, but Asha Greyjoy didn't know this at all.

Clay understood, this woman wanted to seduce him.

I have to admit that in terms of figure and appearance, Asha Greyjoy can be considered one of the upper-class women, especially her heroic temperament, which is probably very suitable for some men.

But the thing is, Clay's head is clear.

He knew very well which women he could have sex with and when he couldn't.

Now Asha Greyjoy is seducing herself because she is young. She feels that she mostly thinks about problems with her lower body, and wants to use herself to influence the attack direction of the Northern Army to benefit the Greyjoy family.

Now that he is riding her on his crotch, he can rest assured that Clay can guarantee that Asha Greyjoy will never be able to defeat him. But the question is, what do the princes of the north think?

Therefore, from any perspective, Clay must now keep his distance from this woman.

But Clay himself is not a saint without desires, he is just able to restrain himself. If he is strong enough, Asha Greyjoy will dare to flirt with him.

Then just wait to be dealt with according to the law.

"Save it, Miss Asha Greyjoy, and be respectful. This is a military camp after all."

Clay gently pushed away the woman's hand touching his leg and said calmly.

When she found out that her plan had failed, Asha Greyjoy was not angry. She immediately gave up acting, curled her lips, and walked back to her place with long legs.

"Boy, it looks like you're really not an idiot to be able to sit in this position."

Clay shook his head.

"If you mean simply being able to resist your temptation, Miss Asha, then this position is too cheap, isn't it?"

Asha Greyjoy gritted her teeth secretly, this kid's words were really irritating.

Even though that's the case, it makes me very unhappy when you say that. I don't believe that you don't have feelings for women.

Thinking of this, Asha Greyjoy suddenly thought of another possibility. She looked at Clay thoughtfully, as if she had discovered the truth.

Realizing that Asha Greyjoy had something wrong with her expression, the girl didn't hide her weird look at all, but Clay wasn't interested in what she was thinking. He went straight to the point:

"Miss Asha, tell me, what do you want to tell me when you come this time?"

Knowing that the little episode just now was over, Asha calmed down her expression, and her sitting posture... straightened up a little.

"Clay Mandler, I'm here to talk to you about some details of this war. The noble you sent last time didn't give enough details."

"For example?" Clay looked at this woman with interest.

"Seriously, you are threatening us with my brother Theon's life, and we are very dissatisfied."

"But that's our right, isn't it?"

Clay interrupted her with a smile. He didn't want to hear these hat words. It was useless.

"I'm a soldier now. Be neat, Miss Asha. I need to know how many people you want to send out, where to land, and when to start. In return, our general direction will also be shared with you. Of course, there are no details. "

Asha gritted her teeth again. Is this man really irritating when he talks and doesn't care about his aristocratic status?

"Okay, let me tell you straight, the price you offered in the north is that the gold from Lannister Port will be given to us, and you will help us stop the Lannister troops returning for reinforcements. Am I right?"

Nodding, Clay said:

"Yes, this is the price we originally set before heading south to Ningze. What, do you have any other ideas?"

"Oh, your plan is quite good. We ironborn will use our own blood to dye the Lannister strong castle red. You originally wanted to go to war with them, and stopping them was part of your plan."

"Yes, isn't this normal? After all, Balon Greyjoy's son is in our hands. Why doesn't cooperation favor us?"

Clay said it was natural, it seemed like it was the way it should be.

After saying this, the witcher's keen hearing told him that someone in this room was grinding his teeth. He felt his mouth to make sure it was not him.

Clay locked his gaze on Asha Greyjoy's cheek, his eyes a little playful.

After holding it in for a long time and repeatedly telling herself to hold it back, Asha Greyjoy took a deep breath and tried her best to control her emotions.

"Let me tell you bluntly, you don't give enough. We can help you cause trouble in the lion's den. However, after you defeat Jaime Lannister, you must march into the West and plunder all the castles in the West with us."

"Furthermore, Fairy Island will become our territory, and you in the north must support this."

Clay touched his chin, thinking about the new conditions announced by Asha Greyjoy.

Anyway, it's not impossible, because this is Clay's goal plan.

How can we keep the morale of these recruited northern legions high without looting when they go south?

Although they hate the Lannisters, it's not enough for them to risk their lives for this charge. In other words, it's not attractive enough for them.

Only by telling them that if they conquer a city and the loot will be abundant, will their morale be high and they can charge into battle.

As for Fairy Island, there is only a fairy city there, but there are not many things to rob. It is estimated that these iron people want to set up an operations base further south.

But what does this have to do with the North? As for whether to admit it or not, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?
