Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system - Chapter 397

c387 valley hell

A letter that looked like nonsense brought a country that had just gained peace into the quagmire of all-out war.

No one can understand this turn of events.

But due to Clay Mandler’s unparalleled majesty, no one could object.

Suddenly, everyone from the Great Wall in the north to Dorne in the south had to be mobilized.

Yes, that’s right, Dorne, Prince Martell, under a very stern order from Clay Manderly, temporarily stopped seeking trouble in the Reach.

The White Walkers are here, and they’re still here causing trouble for me!

Although, when coming to Westeros, everyone has to encounter the White Walkers.

But why, in Clay Mandler’s case, the fight started directly in the valley.

What kind of magical start is this?

After arranging the initial basic framework, Clay immediately ordered his regiment to go north along the King’s Road and head straight to Harrenhal.

At the same time, he himself used Galesos’s back to transport the lords of Eagle’s Nest City, Heart City, Hongge City, Red Barrier and other places near the Blood Gate several times, and sent them all to their places, asking them to mobilize immediately. All forces in the territory retreated towards the Blood Gate.

All the strong men should retreat first.

The elderly, women and children could only follow behind.

Earl Grafson and Yohn Royce took a boat out to sea and ventured back to Seagull Town and Runestone City, where they could retreat around the coastline.

The royal fleet went with them to block the possibility of heading south from the sea near the valley to King’s Landing.

As for Snakewood City, Clay has given up.

He did not rush over rashly, although Galesos was already big enough now.

But the White Walkers cannot be surmised by conventional thinking.

The memory of the scene where the Night King created the javelin champion has been echoing in Clay’s mind.

What if these guys’ ice spears can react elementally to the fire-magic creation dragon, increasing the damage multiplier?

If Galesos is given away, only Daenerys and the three are left. Forget it, run away, there is no hope.

Clay couldn’t take the chance.

Most of the population in the valley is concentrated in the Arryn Valley, where the Eagle’s Nest City is located. As long as the population there is withdrawn, the number of the zombie army will not expand too much.

After Clay sent everyone there and returned to Harrenhal after finishing his work, some nobles who rushed here brought him some unpleasant news.

“Your Majesty, the Earl of Coldwater City has also sent a letter asking for help. The dead person…”

The Earl of Duskdale Town did not continue, Clay already understood what he meant.

“It can’t be saved. You don’t understand our enemies yet. We are competing for time with them now and evacuate the people in Erin Valley as much as possible. Otherwise, it will be out of control by then.”

Thanks to the Mingyue Mountains, it has become a natural city wall.

Otherwise, this line of defense would not be able to stand up at all and would be directly exploited by the center.

Clay waved his hand. He simply couldn’t order the soldiers to go in and fight against the zombie army for the sake of Coldwater City.

He is the commander-in-chief, and it would be foolish to do so.

Maybe in terms of combat power alone, his side is indeed strong, but the problem is that his group of people have never seen a dead person.

It is estimated that as soon as they meet each other, they will be directly put on the embankment charm by the opponent, which weakens morale by 80%.

No need to fight, it will definitely be over.

Therefore, we must first rely on the natural danger of the Blood Gate to defend it, and let the soldiers have seen these things before they can push back later.

Just as he was talking, a man who looked like most of the scouts ran towards Clay. After being stopped by Kristen on the outside, he took the envelope in his hand.

He opened it and took a look, then walked directly towards Clay.

“Your Majesty, urgent news from the Eagle’s Nest.”

Collison said.

“Your Majesty, what did the Eagle’s Nest say?”

Seeing that the king had not spoken for a long time, but his frown was getting tighter and tighter, the Earl of Mugu Town couldn’t help but asked tentatively.

Clay raised his head and threw the letter in his hand to the other party.

“The army of the dead is expanding faster than we thought. Coldwater City and Snakewood City must be finished. The Earl of Ansu City saw dead soldiers wearing the costumes of the two companies on the other side of the river.”

The map was opened, and a huge blue arrow pointed directly at the location of Ansuku City.

After that, you only need to cross another mountain range to reach the densely populated valley.

Such a short time is simply not enough time for nearly a million people to evacuate.

In fact, the current progress towards completion is pitifully low.

The news could not be concealed, and soon, the nobles who had not believed it before came to the king’s side with nervous expressions on their faces.

They thought the king was talking nonsense before, but now, they can’t be “airdropped” by the dragon into the valley and the nobles have been brainwashed, right?

Moreover, this was a nationwide mobilization, and even the war in Dorne and the River Bend was stopped.

If this is fake, it’s simply Clay Mandler going crazy.

Clay thought for a long time and ordered:

“Go, write a letter to the Eagle’s Nest City, asking them not to hesitate any longer, and do everything possible to get the population out of the valley. Leave the people east of Longbow Hall alone, and I will contact Seagull Town.”

After all, they are the valley’s own people, so these valley nobles will naturally move slowly.

But now that it’s so urgent, there’s no need to worry about that.

Clay’s meaning is already obvious, don’t you want to leave? You can’t help the enemy, you can use a knife, but remember to use fire to clean it when handling it.

This is of course unkind, but there is nothing that can be done to turn the valley into a paradise for the dead. The blood gate may not be able to stop it.

“Go and use your method to inform the whole country about the news here, so that those who are still waiting and watching can quickly take action.”

Clay turned his head, looked at the group of nobles behind him who did not dare to show off, smiled coldly, and said.

“Stop standing here and do what you have to do!”

The nobles dispersed.

That’s it. Even if Clay had told the truth in King’s Landing, it was impossible for these nobles to believe it. At most, they thought it was the new king who didn’t know what he was trying to do.

Only when they truly know that it is now a battle between the living and the dead will they wake up.

Westeros is now more united than in memory, and there are no stupid ladies like Cersei Lannister to trick people into taking over as leaders.

However, because the fighting broke out in the valley, the pressure of war was greater than before.

Therefore, it is equivalent to strengthening oneself and strengthening the opponent.

It’s quite balanced.

However, this also means that the previous experience cannot be applied. You will only know how it is really done after playing it.

Clay glanced at Mace Tyrell, who was standing in the distance, looking a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said:

“Sir, how is our army gathering place now?”

In fact, he knew about this problem, but it was not very good to keep his prime minister indifferent like this.

The puppet also needs to have some human rights.

After all, in this war whose scale is unknown, the food logistics in the Reach must be a very important part.

Lady Olenna has returned to Highgarden, and Mace Tyrell’s “inflatable fish” is still valuable.

As the middle link, we can’t live without him yet.

When called by the king, Mace Tyrell quickly pulled his collar and walked towards the king.

“Your Majesty, our army… well, there are now 40,000 people stationed at Harrenhal, 20,000 people gathered in Earl Holloway’s town, and 8,000 people stationed at the Blood Gate.”

Clay nodded. As a horse king, of course he knew everything about his army. Asking this was just a pretext.

“My Prime Minister, for these 70,000 people, will the supply in the Reach be smooth?”

Mace Tyrell finally found a question that he could answer well, and quickly answered:

“No problem, Your Majesty. The food in the Reach is enough to support 200,000 people on the front line.”

Otherwise, this guy is an “inflatable fish”. At this time, a normal person would be crying and saying that he is not good enough.

And our Prime Minister gave Clay a thorough guarantee when he came up.

Clay nodded noncommittally. The current situation was far from requiring 200,000 people on the front line.

“You have also seen that the dead do exist, so I need you to pass the news here back to the River Bend. I believe that the strength of the Tyrell family is far beyond what I see now.”

Clay said.

Mace Tyrell only hesitated for two seconds before nodding in agreement.

“Okay Your Majesty, I know what to do.”

…

The front line of Eagle’s Nest City and Heart City soon became the front line.

Of course, this “frontline” description is not quite accurate.

Because the Army of the Dead won’t tell you so many rules.

Under the control of magic, they worked tirelessly and completely destroyed Snakewood City and Coldwater City. After transforming all the living creatures there into their own compatriots, Najirfa left.

It is just a ship. As the royal fleet is getting closer and closer, it is best to evacuate first.

Moreover, the number of the dead army has expanded to more than 40,000 people. Of course, there are not only dead people, but also dead animals.

None of the strange creatures in the forest have escaped its clutches.

The north of the valley is already finished. Fortunately, these dead people didn’t point out their paddling skills. Otherwise, this river originating from the Mingyue Mountains and crossing the valley may not be able to be blocked.

Of course, there must be a ferry on the river, but although the dead can bite people, if you ask him to show the way to the White Walker father, you are making things difficult for them.

But this is not a long-term solution. The White Walkers are just unwilling to spend a lot of their energy to freeze the river far away from the cold god.

I’m really worried. The water flow in this river is not too fast, and it’s okay even if it freezes.

During this time, Clay released two thousand people into the Blood Gate and went to the Eagle’s Nest City to help evacuate the people in Arryn Valley.

With the decadent machine of the aristocracy running smoothly, after half a month, the total number of people west of the Blood Gate did not exceed 200,000.

But this is the limit.

The Blood Gate is so big, and ordinary farmers are not an elite army, so there will inevitably be congestion near the Blood Gate.

But there’s no way, we can’t tear down the Blood Gate, right?

The royal fleet has carefully entered Snakewood City from the coast, and there is no sign of Najirfa there.

But this is not important, because death has spread like a plague in the valley.

Ten days later, the soldiers left behind in Ansu City sent a report that the dead had crossed the river. Then they immediately jumped on their horses and fled towards the south.

Fortunately, the dead man didn’t make dumplings for them to eat.

This was unfortunate, however, because the retreat from the Vale of Arryn was not over yet.

At the beginning, I was not proficient and the speed was very slow. Now I am proficient in all aspects and the speed of passing the level has also increased a lot.

However, from beginning to end, those who have passed the blood gate have only just reached the halfway point.

In other words, there are still hundreds of thousands of people waiting in the narrow terrain east of the Blood Gate.

The area west of Longbow Hall has been stripped as much as possible, and I really don’t want to leave…

It is now reduced to ashes.

Clay knew he would be criticized, but he couldn’t care less now.

…

“What did Lord Commander Jeor Mormont say? What is the situation beyond the wall now?”

The headquarters has moved forward to the small town of Earl Holloway. The nobles from all over the country, except for those who arranged to guard their homes, the rest, who are either the heads of the families or the heirs, all arrived with more or less troops. Under the King’s banner.

The dead people in the horror stories actually invaded the valley without saying hello. Now many people feel that they are dreaming.

However, the soldiers who had withdrawn from the valley and had seen dead people proved all this in a pretentious manner.

“The Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch said in his letter that he organized three expeditions, as far as Custer’s Fortress and the Red Hall line. However, there was no life outside the wall, not even bones.”

Clay, who had just finished a meeting, leaned back in his chair, looked at the map representing various military movements, and listened quietly to his captain of the Kingsguard reporting the news from the north.

It seems that they have all come to the south.

Now, it’s been a month since he arrived here.

There has been no news from Longgong Hall and Honggecheng. The latter, led by Count Honggecheng, decided to defend their homeland.

It was a decision Clay couldn’t argue with.

The nobles have a duty to protect their land, and he cannot stop it.

Earl Honggecheng sent his heir, and then used a letter to “live broadcast” the face of his opponent.

However, Clay received only three letters from beginning to end.

First letter:

“Your Majesty, the dead have appeared on the east side of Hongge City, and there are a lot of them. We will try our best to resist…”

Second letter:

“Your Majesty, we suffered heavy casualties, and besides the dead, I saw that there were white guys behind the battlefield. They… they were resurrecting our fallen soldiers!”

And the last one I received yesterday:

“Your Majesty, the bloodline of the Belmore family cannot be cut off!”

Just three letters, representing a family with ancient heritage, have suffered heavy losses since then.

Ansuku City also fell, and the dead men were marching extremely fast and had already entered the valley plain.

“Speed ​​up and evacuate as many people as possible.”

This is the only thing Clay can do right now.

“Send an order to Twin River City and ask them to send troops to keep an eye on the small intersections in the Mingyue Mountains. The cavalry will patrol for me. Once discovered, try your best to kill!”

Clay said.
