Chapter 105 The first drop of blood

It's not that Aenys Frey's consciousness and the Seal of Axi will be directly destroyed.

Aenys Frey's consciousness was only temporarily controlled, but Clay had no intention of letting him wake up again.

Not wanting Aenys Frey's plum blossom needle to contaminate his eyes, Clay ordered him to put on his clothes and walked to the window. The smell in this room was really disgusting.

After Aenys Frey barely looked human, Clay began to ask:

"Aenys Frey, if I ask you to kill Lord Walder Frey now and blame Stevron Frey, how would you do it?"

Clay didn't ask stupid questions like whether it could be done. He did everything possible to sneak in here, not to hear about the possibilities.

Just like when a long sword is unsheathed, it will inevitably see blood. Otherwise, it is better not to draw the sword.

This question seemed to be a bit difficult to answer for Inis, who was controlled by the Yakshi Seal. Clay waited for about a minute, just when he thought that the Yakshi Seal had made the empty-hearted Inis stupid. At that time, Innis replied:

"After Clay Manderly left the Twins, I started to get some herbs into my father's food. Steward Loew helped me, which would make my father weaker and weaker."

Good guy, I’m really impatient, is this about to start?

Clay has not met Marquis Walder Frey since he left the Twins, and at this time there is no way to judge whether Aenys Frey's words are true or false.

Aenys Frey went on to describe his parricide plan:

"If I kill my father now and put the blame on my brother Steve Lun, then I need to contact Butler Loew immediately. Only he has the key to my father's room."

"I will enter the room and kill him. And here I have a dagger that my brother often uses. I stole it half a month ago. Everyone in Twin River City knows that the dagger belongs to him."

"As soon as my father dies and is discovered, I will lead people to capture him and send him to see the Seven Gods as a parricide."

Clay reminded:

"You didn't consider the army in your plan. There are four thousand troops in Twin River City. If they are loyal to Steve Lun, can you kill him?"

"These four thousand troops only take orders from my father. When he dies and I claim that Steve Lun killed my father, they will not fight for him for a short time."

There was no expression on Aenys' stiff face.

"As for Frey who is leading the army, among the eight people, I can guarantee that at least three will not be my enemies. As long as I move fast enough, Steve Lun will not have time to contact them for the remaining five."

Clay finally understood. This bastard, Aenys Frey, had secretly corrupted some of the army generals. No wonder he dared to openly propose to him the plan to change ownership of Twins City.

Aenys Frey himself was sitting in the main castle, and the troops outside were dispatched again. If the war hadn't come suddenly, and when Clay fulfilled his engagement and external support arrived, it is estimated that Aenys Frey would have taken action directly.

Tsk, this old guy also hid a lot of things from me back then. I didn't have the chance to use Yakxi for him at the beginning. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit hasty.

Now that Aenys Frey is in such a confused state, it may not be a problem for him to kill Marquis Walder Frey with a dagger, but it may not be feasible for him to contact Butler Loew like a normal person.

However, this is not a problem at all for Clay.

Isn't there a Kristen outside the door? Just go to the door, kill someone and get the key. Oh, you ask Clay who killed Butler Loew?

Why bother asking? Steven Frey, he's the worst in this castle!

…

Now that it was at this point, Clay did not hesitate. He found Krissen who was working as a guard outside the door, and then asked Inis Frey about the location of Butler Loew's room.

"Krison, after entering, control Butler Loew. Don't kill him yet, lest you can't find the key. After you get it, remember, don't hesitate, and send him to see the Seven Gods."

Kristen, who had already seen the blood, nodded without any hindrance, and walked out with his long sword. They had cleared the lower defenses of the tower, leaving only the top two floors, and they could clear the level.

As for Inis, Clay had no intention of letting him live until he had the opportunity to frame Steve Lun, but he couldn't die here, his final destination was not here.

Leaving him aside, Clay sat down at the window, closed his eyes and began to meditate, quietly waiting for Kristen to finish the work.

He believed that this young guard, after experiencing this battle, would be his best assistant on the battlefield in the future.

Sure enough, Kristen did not disappoint him. In less than ten minutes, Kristen returned here with a key. Blood beads were still dripping from the long sword hanging on his waist.

However, on the dark red carpet, this is not noticeable.

"Sir, I have killed the person and got the key."

Clay took what Kristen handed over. It was a complicated key. It seemed that the lock it corresponded to was not easy to open.

Marquis Walder Frey is still as afraid of death as ever. This is not out of Clay's understanding of him. The older he gets, the more afraid of death he becomes.

"Okay, now, let's go meet the master of Twins City. Guess, with our troops pressing down on the city, dear Lord Walder Frey, can we still find him in his eighth wife? Fun?"

Clay smiled and asked Kristen. This young man is a serious and honest man in this regard. Every time he talks about these things, this young man who thinks about restoring the glory of his family will feel embarrassed.

Although Clay himself didn't have a chance, it didn't mean that he and the other guards couldn't tease him.

For young Krissen, the eighth wife was unimaginable to him. As for having fun, he imagined a ninety-year-old man and a twenty-year-old woman, and couldn't help but feel a rise in his heart. A chill.

He now somewhat understood why his young master came to kill the Marquis Walder Frey without any psychological burden from the beginning. Such a person should indeed go to the Seven Hells long ago to avoid causing harm here. people.

No longer teasing him, Clay calmed down the joking expression on his face, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.

He ordered Aenys Frey to pick up the dagger used to frame Steveron. This dagger will see blood tonight, but it was used to frame Steveron.

…

Outside the city, the Northern Legion camp

Sir Malone conveyed Clay's order to every Mandalay family cavalry. They did not know that the young master of the family was already surrounded by enemies.

This is the first battle of the Northern Legion going south, and it is also the first battle of the Mandalay family army. The soldiers who have received the order have high morale. Being able to become cavalry at least means that they have good nutrition and will not suffer from the diseases that ordinary infantry may suffer. Night blindness problem.

But this kind of excitement cannot be hidden after all. There are always nobles who can't sleep and go out for a walk at night. So, following the neighing of the horses, they noticed the five hundred heavy cavalry who were ready to go.

Robb Stark, who was dreaming about facing Jaime Lannister, was woken up from his couch by his guards, and then he learned that the Manderly family's cavalry had been assembled.

This kind of news spread quickly. When Clay just entered Aenys Frey's room, all the northern nobles got the news and were quickly heading towards the central army camp where Robb Stark was. Go.

At first, they were frightened by the breaking news and broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Clay was going to rebel and attack them secretly, but soon they realized that this was impossible.

Therefore, someone with the courage immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation at the Mandalay family barracks, and happened to bump into Sir Malone who was rushing to the Chinese army camp.

The old knight thought about it again and again, and decided to tell the noble lords in the north about this matter. If it was really to attack the city, if the young master did not go well in the city, if more than 10,000 people were dispatched, there would always be a better chance of winning.

However, he has remembered what the young master told him, and he will be at the front when charging.

When the disarmed old knight told the suddenly awakened northern princes about Clay's plan in the Chinese army's tent with reservations, everyone's expressions were dull.

What's the meaning? We couldn't get a clue here, so you led someone into Twin River City by yourself?

Putting aside how you did it, why are you so grumpy? You didn’t even say hello!

Mrs. Caitlin had heard part of Clay's confession, so she had a stronger psychological tolerance for this matter than others, but she was still shocked by Clay's... strength.

"Nonsense! Who does he think he is? Dawn Sword!"

Earl Glover slapped the table with some annoyance, and at the same time glanced at his old friend with a reproachful look. Although Clay is your commander, can you let him go in this situation?

After holding it in for a long time, Roose Bolton's calm face finally showed waves, and he said helplessly:

"It seems that our young Lord Clay really has extraordinary courage. May the gods bless him."

What he said was actually not true. Roose Bolton knew the preferences of these northern nobles very well. If Clay could escape from the Twins alive this time, regardless of whether his mission was successful or not, he was in the north. The status among the nobility will rise rapidly.

It's not that everyone likes brainless fools, but everyone admires the courage to break into the enemy's lair alone, because they ask themselves that even at Clay's age, they would never be able to do such a thing.

Roose Bolton's words aroused dissatisfaction from Robb Stark. He slapped the table directly:

The Young Wolf Lord’s voice was extremely serious:

"My brother is currently fighting our enemies in Twin River City in order to seize the city gate and reduce the sacrifice of our army. Can you gentlemen still sit here well?"

"I don't care why he did this. It was after he was brought out of the Twins. Now, in the name of the Stark family, I order you to prepare your army to start a fire in the Twins." In an instant, attack the city!"

Amidst the roar, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory took the lead to leave the camp. The remaining princes of the Northern Territory looked at each other and had nothing to say at this time.

Robb Stark is right. Since Clay has a way to sneak into the city, if he can cause chaos in the Twins, how can these old nobles who have been on the battlefield not smell this with such a good opportunity to attack the city? fighter plane?

The camps in the north became lively in a short time. War horses were pulled out of the stables, armors were put on, weapons were clenched in their hands, and groups of soldiers were awakened from their sleep, preparing to march south. 's first battle.

But the Freys in the Twins City knew nothing about it. It was already late at night, when everyone was most sleepy.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, plunging the whole world into deeper darkness.

In this case, Clay controlled Aenys Frey and opened the door of Marquis Walder's room.

The delicate copper lock was rendered useless under Butler Loew's key.

The heavy oak door was pushed open, and Clay knew that there would be some interesting scenes inside.

Across the door, he and Kristen's sharp witcher senses collected all the sounds in the room and told them.

Stepping into the house, there was a strong aroma of medicinal herbs and incense, not too much indescribable smell.

Turning around the tall plank that blocked the wind, Clay and Kristen found the ultimate goal of their trip - Marquis Walder Frey.

However, the attitude of the Lord Marquis at this time was not very dignified.

Oops! It’s really a great experience.

Clay found that the scene in front of him was obviously disgusting to Kristen, who had never seen anything before. The young man turned his head away.

Tsk, it's a sin, it won't leave a bad impression on him, right? Clay condemned himself in his heart, and then got rid of all improper thoughts.

It’s time to get down to business!

Marquis Walder Frey was too focused, and Clay and Kristen's cat-like footsteps made almost no sound. Except for Aenys Frey's slightly heavy footsteps, everything was so perfect.

Clay was also disgusted and decided not to give Lord Frey any more time, and directly controlled Inis Frey to get closer to his father.

When he got closer, Walder Frey noticed that there were other people in the room. He turned his head suddenly, only to find the cold and damp face of his third son.

As expected, the old man was confused, in every sense of the word.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the dagger in his son's hand. The shock and confusion in his heart made him slow down in his response to the crisis of death.

With a pop, Stevron Frey's dagger, carried by his brother Aenys Frey, accurately penetrated the heart of their common father, Lord Walder Frey.

Thick blood spattered on the sheets and on the woman's back. She had just realized that something was wrong and before she could turn around, Aenys Frey's dagger found her.

Death was finally not late for Marquis Walder Frey.

At the last moment when consciousness faded, Walder Frey recognized Clay standing behind Aenys.

Why is he here?

It didn't matter anymore, because... Walder Frey's death was inevitable.

Aenys Frey stood expressionless before his father's body, and Clay took one last look at the face before allowing himself to drive the dagger into his own heart.

Looking at the three corpses that finally expired, Clay's face showed no expression at all. He didn't like killing people, but it wasn't up to him.

The blood had been left at his and Kerrison's feet, and it was time to leave.

"Let's go, we should light another fire for this night..."

Clay patted the stunned Kristen and left the room first.

In the darkness, only the candlelight still flickered.

Phew... Walder Frey, I gave him an undignified death. This may be the first named character to die in my book.

Due to problems before it was released, I didn't have time to start writing about Twins, so the blood of Twins was shed relatively easily.

But, the war has just begun, and death is still going on. Who told this to be a song of ice and fire?
