Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

It was raining continuously, and the water vapor evaporated from the strait was carried by the strong wind to the sky above Harrenhal, turning into an endless rain curtain, shrouding this ancient ruins.

The towering stone towers are covered with traces of blue moss. The fierce wind whizzes through the five towers of Harrenhal, making a whining sound as it rubs against the tower walls.

"Are there any monsters here?"

The young Lannister soldier, following his captain, a middle-aged man with a gray beard, was patrolling the tomb-like castle.

To the timid young man's ears, the sound of wind and rain sounded like the shrill roar of a monster crawling out of the Seven Hells, making him suspicious and nervous.

They had just passed by the tallest King Burning Tower when a peeling city brick roared to the ground, causing a huge splash in the dirty puddles on the ground.

They were lucky. If they had been a little slower, the thin layer of iron on their helmets would have shattered their skulls if they fell from such a height.

"There are no monsters. The He'an family has lived here for so many years. Nothing happened, right? Be careful. Bricks are falling everywhere in this broken tower. Be careful of your brains blossoming!"

The old soldier scolded and pulled the somewhat dazed soldier away from the dark water. If your shoes get wet here, no one will care about you. If it stays like this, hair will grow in your boots. .

Lord Tywin Lannister led the children of the West to attack all the way from the Golden Road and swept several noble castles in the Riverlands, including Harrenhal, the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

The original owner of this place, the He'an family, had no power to defend such a huge castle in the face of Lord Tywin's powerful troops. Even if Lord Tywin didn't come, the entire He'an family would probably slowly fall apart with this castle. The ground rots.

Although they were members of the River House and nobles, following an order from Tywin Lannister, these former owners of Harrenhal were forced to leave their home like wild dogs.

Their land, wealth, and people, as well as the once most prominent fortress in the Seven Kingdoms, became the spoils of House Lannister.

Now, the Lannister army, which had fought a fierce battle with the army from the north, returned to Harrenhal from Lord Harroway's town to rest and accumulate strength for the next attack.

At least that's what the lower-level soldiers, such as the two patrolling Lannister soldiers, thought, but the reality is probably much worse than they imagined.

Burning King Tower was once the meeting hall of the He'an family.

With a "crash", everything on the rotten long table in the center of the meeting hall was swept to the ground by someone's arm. Obviously, something made the owner of the arm very angry.

Lord Tywin Lannister certainly has reason to be angry. In fact, in addition to anger, he now also has a sense of powerlessness.

The raven from the Golden Tooth City delivered a message to Lord Tywin on the front line of Harrenhal this morning, and this message, for Tywin Lannister and the entire war situation, It's like a bolt from the blue.

The defenders of Golden Tooth City saw with their own eyes the flag of the Northern Territory appearing outside the city, and then watched helplessly as they intercepted and killed the defeated troops fleeing to the Western Territory. As the eastern gate of the Western Territory, Golden Tooth City now only has a total strength of 800 troops.

Most of these people have been in the Lannister logistics army before, and their combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient. Furthermore, there are no cavalry here. On the plain battlefield in the Riverlands, if infantry is sent to pursue the cavalry, as long as this command is needed If the official's brain is not broken, he will not issue such an order.

The last reason is that the commander of Golden Teeth City did not know what was happening at all. He did not dare to let his troops leave the city at all. If the army went out of the city to rescue his colleagues, and the Northern Territory still had an siege force ambushing nearby, he would be in a hurry. What should we do if we capture Golden Tooth City?

If Golden Tooth City is lost, the entire Western Region will be open to the Northern Army. Therefore, Golden Tooth City cannot make any mistakes at all.

There was no other way. The guard of Golden Teeth City could only inform Lord Tywin of the Lord Tywin through the raven and let him make a decision.

Although the letter did not say what happened to the twelve thousand troops in Riverrun, the experienced Duke Tywin still used the few words in the letter to quickly reconstruct what happened on the battlefield on the west bank of the Red Fork River. .

This 12,000-strong army must have suffered a huge defeat, otherwise there would not have been so many broken troops fleeing towards Golden Tooth City. Moreover, the northern army actually still had the strength to send more than 1,000 cavalry to intercept and ambush on the road. The situation on the battlefield must be one-sided. The Northerners can send out these thousand people without worrying about insufficient troops.

Fell into the trap of this little wolf named Robb Stark! The northern army probably split up in Twins City.

Tywin Lannister found it strange on the previous battlefield that the Northern Army's cavalry was so pitiful that it was almost non-existent. He was still worried that this cavalry would bypass the battlefield and wait for him and the Northern Army. Tangled together, they hit themselves from the side.

To this end, he also sent an earl to lead half of the Lannister cavalry in Harrenhal to search for traces of his opponent.

They really didn't expect that the people of the North would be so bold. They dared to force their entire army with 10,000 infantry here. After the first battle, they actually prevented their own army of more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry from advancing, which made them even more confident that Stark would The army is here.

As for their truly powerful cavalry group, before anyone could react, they quickly crossed south from Twin River City and directly attacked the unprepared Riverrun City camp.

Tywin once hoped that his son Jaime could escape. In that case, the loss of the West would only be 10,000 people. With the wealth of the West, it would not be difficult to recruit another 10,000 people.

But after this letter came from Golden Teeth City, the Stark army who was confronting him also sent a letter. Lord Tywin's eyes suddenly darkened when he saw it.

The letter made it clear that Jaime Lannister and all the nobles in the Riverrun camp were all taken prisoner, and the twelve thousand Lannister troops were almost wiped out.

Tywin Lannister knew very well what the Northern Army meant by sending this letter.

From now on, unless he can launch a surprise attack like the one at Riverrun, he will not dare to touch the Northern Army at all.

In Tywin Lannister's heart, his heir will only be his eldest son Jaime Lannister, even if he has put on a white robe and become a Kingsguard who has theoretically lost the right to inherit.

But this did not affect his status in the heart of Tywin Lannister. The old lion had no intention of handing over Casterly Rock and the entire Lannister family to the dwarf son.

Therefore, Jaime Lannister became a prisoner, which made the old lion immediately take action, and the situation was instantly reversed.

He walked up and down the meeting hall irritably, while the other Western nobles who came to the meeting had ugly faces and said nothing. Tywin Lannister looked at these people, and the temperature on his face had already dropped. At freezing point:

"You were all admonishing me and shouting your ridiculous plans in this meeting hall before. Why are you silent now?!"

The Duke of the West's voice is so calm that it's scary, and anyone who knows him well knows that this is a sign of the extreme anger in his heart. Now, no one dares to speak out, in case the furious Lord Tywin is offended. , wouldn’t it be too unfair to be dragged out and killed with a sword?

"Speak! This is your order from the emperor!"

Tywin continued to torture everyone present with his freezing tone and tone. The Lord Feng had already said this, and they had to speak up no matter what.

"Um... Sir, could it be that the little wolf cub is deceiving us? Sir James has twelve thousand men in his hands, so he shouldn't be easily captured, right?"

Sebastian Farman spoke timidly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt Lord Tywin's fatal gaze, and only heard his own Lord saying:

"I should really tell you to go back to Fairy Island immediately and let you and your castle be swept away by the waves, stupid Farman!"

He pulled out his chair, sat back in his seat, and continued:

"There's no need for the little wolf in the north to lie to us. Besides, he's not on the battlefield at Riverrun. There's probably someone else who actually commanded that battle. Since only a thousand defeated troops were found in Golden Teeth City, then the rest will How about it, do you still need me to teach you?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became even heavier than freezing. Now things are really serious.

Because the collapse of Riverrun was so sudden, Tywin's legions at Harrenhal were unprepared. Judging from the situation, their army was surrounded by the Northern Legion.

Even if the opponent's army is far smaller than your own.

Tywin Lannister is now being raised up, and he is unable to get off. From a military perspective, he who is surrounded by the enemy should immediately retreat southward, away from the front line of Harrenhal.

But then the question arises, what next?

The entire army of Riverrun City was wiped out, which meant that the defense of the Western Territory was extremely empty. At this time, if he did not return to the Western Territory, then this cavalry, which had defeated 12,000 of his own men, might sweep across the Western Territory.

Such a loss would be unacceptable to Tywin Lannister.

But if he orders more than 20,000 troops to rush back to the West through the Golden Road, what will happen to the idiot mother and son in King's Landing?

Once he leaves, will Junlin still be there? Now, perhaps except for Stark, everyone's target is focused on the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Everyone knows that the current king is a child who doesn't understand anything.

As for those thousands of gold robes, no one took them seriously. If the gold robes were really useful, why is there only one Daenerys left in the Targaryen dynasty lingering on the other side of the Narrow Sea?

So, no matter how you look at it, it's a dilemma now. The Western Territory can't be lost, and King's Landing can't be lost. Tywin can't wait to organize 20,000 cavalry on the spot to deal with the commander of the mysterious Northern Cavalry Group.

A long sigh attracted everyone's attention.

The only person who dares to sigh in the hall at this time is Lord Tywin's most trusted assistant, his brother Kevan Lannister.

He spoke with difficulty, looking at his brother with eyes full of helplessness and pain, and said:

"I'm afraid we can no longer fight this war. We...are going to ask the little wolf cubs in the north for peace..."

These words made many proud Western nobles change their expressions at that time. Some people ignored Tywin Lannister's cold gaze and directly refuted Kevan's words.

However, before he said a few words, everyone noticed Feng Jun's eyes that almost wanted to devour others, and they all immediately stopped.

"I think I need to remind everyone that they have captured my son!"

Lord Tywin suddenly raised his tone on the last sentence, causing everyone present to tremble.

"No matter how nice your words are, have you ever considered my son James? He's not your son, right?"

At this time, everyone understood what Tywin Lannister meant. No matter whether it was a true truce or peace talks, Jaime Lannister, an extremely important hostage, must be brought back.

Originally, they had one Edmure Tully, and with two additions, they could barely match the worth of Jaime Lannister.

But now it seems that our side suffered a huge defeat in the battle at Riverrun, and 99% of Edmure Tully was rescued. Therefore, there is no one in the West who can replace Jaime Lannister. candidate.

During this time, the Western Army searched the area around Lake God's Eye from the inside out, but failed to find the missing Eddard Stark. They just managed to capture a person who might be related to Eddard Stark's whereabouts.

The Lannister was working overtime torturing the man, hoping to get some information about Eddard Stark's whereabouts out of him.

Eddard Stark escaped from King's Landing, and his followers quickly broke into pieces under his orders and rushed north in small groups.

Tywin Lannister captured a dozen fleeing Northern soldiers, but when he arrived at the location indicated by the prisoners, there was no one there. Obviously, otherwise the information about these people had expired. Otherwise they are lying to themselves.

Tywin Lannister believes that the old wolf is still around here, because his army has completely blocked the road to the north, and it is impossible for them to cross the blockade they have arranged.

The most likely possibility now is that Ed Stark put down his glory and hid in a small ravine like a mouse.

Although I couldn't find it for a while, I would eventually find it if I kept searching bit by bit.

In this game between the lion and the waves, although the wolves took advantage of the lion's unpreparedness and took the inexperienced little lion away, how could the lion swallow this breath?

The cunning golden-haired old lion is planning how to catch the other party's alpha wolf, so that the game can continue happily.
