Chapter 350 Entrapment Plan, War Pressure
"name?"
"Olfson."
"Tsk, why am I asking you this?"
"..."
Clay shook his head and decided to continue asking:
"Do you know the name Illerith?"
"I know, he is one of our core commanders."
Clay knew in his heart that this was correct. It seemed that this was what happened in the Wild Hunt world line.
"So, Eredin, Caranthir?"
This guy named Olfson answered Clay's question like a machine.
Sure enough, in Clay's impression, the three most important leaders of the Wild Hunt have all appeared in this world.
Instead, a deluxe set meal was given.
But Clay had no fear of this.
Judging from the combat prowess displayed by the Wild Hunt, as long as the tactics are correct, they are nothing more than scabies.
It cannot become a big climate.
And the main trouble was Brynden Rivers'.
Some people worry about this for themselves.
But then again, why did the Wild Hunt come to this world?
Aren’t you all being chased by Bai Shuang?
Why is there still time to conquer other worlds?
Do you have so much free time?
When he couldn't get the answer, Clay decided to give up using his brain and ask directly for the correct answer:
"Tell me, why did you come to this world?"
It seems that this question is more difficult for this little pawn, a very obvious hesitation.
It's like the machine is stuck.
This guy just said:
"Eredine told us... the ancient blood has come to this world, and we are following the bloodline of Laura Doren."
In one sentence, Clay's eyebrows instantly plucked out onions.
No, what do you mean?
Laura Doran's bloodline, ancient blood?
mean……
Cirilla Fiona Aeron Rhianlen ran away to her own world?
Clay suspected that he had heard wrongly, so he directly shot the unlucky guy with another Axi Sigil.
You must get an accurate answer, you can't be fooled.
Then, the guy's answer was still word for word.
"Hiss...she really came to this world. When did it happen?"
Clay has a toothache.
This was a very interesting thing in peacetime, but now that he knew about it, Clay still had a strong feeling of being cheated.
It couldn't have come at a worse time!
Although it is clear that this guy probably won't know too many details.
But Clay still tried to ask:
"Do you know the location of the Ancient Blood?"
"I don't know... I once heard Caranthir say that he could only vaguely sense that the ancient blood had indeed come to your world."
"And it seems that we can only enter this world from this place. We don't know the specific location of the ancient blood."
No surprise, he really didn't know.
Even if Clay cuts off one of his hands, he will still say this.
Unless it's something created out of nothing.
For the rest, if Clay asked again, he wouldn't be able to find out much.
This guy is just a pawn. It is enough if he can figure out why he is here and help Clay confirm some information.
After confirming that he had no value, Clay directly let him, who was controlled by the Yakshi Seal, kill himself.
That's the thing, he knew too much, so he had to die.
Clay said something to him. When he wakes up, there is no guarantee that he will not cause unnecessary trouble because of this.
In this case, it's better to just give him a ride.
Anyway, this place is the territory of the old gods. As for where he went after his death, what does it have to do with him?
After coming out of the dungeon, Clay found that Jon Amber was still guarding the door.
"His Majesty."
"Well... go in and clean up, that guy can't think about it."
Clay pulled on his leather gloves and said casually.
Jon Amber was stunned for a moment, and before Clay's eyes turned around, he immediately replied:
"Uh...yes, Your Majesty, I will go now."
This is a smart person.
Don't ask, just carry it out and let him know when it's time.
Clay is quite satisfied with this last Earl of Hearth City.
With brains, Clay can hand over more troops to him in the next war.
Jon Umber walked into the dungeon and looked at the body that was cooling rapidly.
He pursed his lips, found the guard who had just been driven aside, and quickly handled the scene.
Looking at the scene, it was indeed suicide.
But no matter how stupid he is, he will never think that this matter has nothing to do with the king.
However, so what if the king killed him.
He could not and should not do anything other than clean up the king's affairs.
…
Go back to your room.
Clay leaned back in the chair by the fire.
The information extracted from the prisoners' mouths today is actually very useful.
He had to think carefully about what to do next.
"The Wild Hunt army came to this world for Ciri, and judging from what that guy said, it seemed that they could only come in the Cold God's territory at first."
"Combined with the fact that they can't open the portal unless they break the Three-Eyed Crow's node... well, that's a bit interesting."
In Clay's mind, he gradually had an overall outline of this matter.
Ciri's presence hurt Clay's Wild Hunt, and his plan to force them to retreat went bankrupt.
The blood of the ancients, the Wild Hunt will fight tooth and nail to get it.
Therefore, what he has to face is a lot of crazy elf cavalry.
The Wild Hunt cannot come everywhere in the world. In order to find Ciri, they must carry out the order to conquer the entire world.
If that's the case, can you, in turn, try to make them a big dumpling?
Their portal can only be opened in places that are not covered by nodes.
On his side, the Three-Eyed Crow is capable of lighting up nodes in a short time.
That is to say.
As long as the nodes recover, surround them and let them fall into battle with no way to retreat.
Drag the Three-Eyed Crow to repair the node so they can't run away at all.
Or else, lure them to attack you and surround their siege team in areas that are not covered by hoarfrost.
But there is a problem with this approach.
This bait is really hard to find.
For others, such as the less fortified Winterfell, it is a temptation that is difficult to refuse.
However, for Wild Hunt.
That's not the same thing at all.
He probably doesn't think Winterfell is important at all.
After all, there is a high probability that he will not take the time to understand the situation in the Seven Kingdoms, as well as the relationship between the North, Winterfell, etc.
At this time, Clay was sighing, what if he was holding a white-haired creature with ancient blood in his hand now.
Go to Winterfell for a while.
Alas, the nest is ready.
Just wait for the big fish to come.
…
"Father... must we form an alliance with the Tyrells?"
Jaime Lannister still remembers being at Casterly Rock and asking his father, Tywin Lannister, questions.
"If you have a better choice to let our family survive smoothly, then I don't care."
Tywin Lannister replied.
"But father, the Tyrell family is really untrustworthy. They betrayed Renly while they were still engaged, so..."
"Then, they might betray us. Are you trying to tell me this?"
The Duke of the West asked his son.
"Yeah, I really don't believe them."
What answered him was a cup that Tywin still had in the ground.
"childish!"
"Believe, Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Targaryen, etc., who should trust whom?"
"Remember, we are lions, and a lion only needs to bite the opponent's neck, and does not need to give anyone trust!"
Tywin Lannister was obviously very angry at his son's behavior just now.
How long has it been, why are you still talking about trust here?
The son has a knight in his heart, but a real lord must be possessed by a demon in his heart.
Only by seeing the deepest evil in the world can you ensure that your family will not be affected by such evil.
"Remember, when you go to High Court this time, you must bring me a trustworthy covenant."
"The Lannister family needs it, and so does the West."
Jaime Lannister nodded silently.
The majesty of the Duke of the West made him unable to resist at all.
"I see."
When he came to Highgarden and discussed with the Tyrell family, he found that this covenant was not as good as he had just seemed.
First, the two armies united.
Not to mention the roses, they are also weak and weak on the battlefield.
Just talk about themselves.
The Western Army has suffered heavy losses after Clay Manderler repeatedly dealt cruel blows to them.
This time, according to the requirements of the Tyrell family, more than half of Casterly Rock City's strength needs to be transferred to the south.
Join forces with the Tyrell army and coordinate with Aegon Targaryen's landing force.
Seize the Iron Throne.
But as a result, the army was in the south, in the hands of the Rose of Highgarden.
After all, what right does the Lannister family have?
In the current precarious situation, Tywin himself must sit in Casterly Rock to stabilize the basics of the Westerlands.
As for the south, the more than 10,000 to less than 20,000 people in the Western Region were mixed up with the nearly 100,000-strong army in the Reach.
Soon, it will disappear.
Moreover, during the preliminary discussions, Lady Olena also revealed that she wanted to find a noblewoman in the River Bend for a blind date with Jaime Lannister.
Jaime Lannister is very keen in this regard.
He realized one thing very clearly.
As the heir to Casterly Rock, he was planning to marry an ordinary noblewoman from the Reach.
So, who is going to give Margaery Tyrell, the rose of Highgarden they claim has not yet been picked?
The answer is already obvious.
The Tyrell family is ready to put the Lannister family behind and take sole responsibility for welcoming the king's master.
Wanting to understand the key to this, Jaime Lannister suddenly became furious.
He felt that being invited to form an alliance this time was really a success.
Only now did I realize that it was waiting for me here.
If you take this covenant back by yourself, you will have to be ripped away by your father.
Fortunately, he was quite smart. He only said that he would consider it and did not agree on the spot.
Following him this time was his uncle Kevan Lannister.
However, this old guy was mute throughout the entire negotiation.
With just the ears, it's all about Jaime Lannister.
Now, Jaime Lannister couldn't sit still and hurried to the next room to find his uncle.
Kevan seemed to have anticipated Jaime's arrival.
"Sit down and talk."
He smiled.
Then he poured James a glass of red wine.
No one worries about getting poisoned here.
Unless they want to be attacked desperately by Tywin Lannister.
"Uncle, there is something wrong with this covenant... Tyrell and the others..."
Before Jaime Lannister finished speaking, he saw the smile on Kevan's lips.
He suddenly realized that his uncle had already understood all this and was just waiting for him to come to him.
Damn it, is this a test?
Jaime Lannister suddenly felt a little angry.
A kind of anger that is still regarded as a child's anger.
But he had no outlet.
"Okay, now that you've reacted, it's not too stupid."
Kevan motioned for him to finish his drink before speaking.
"Don't worry, I have already sent news about this to Casterly Rock City."
"Your father won't agree, and neither will I, and I believe you will too."
Kevan said.
"Then what are we doing here now?"
Jaime Lannister asked.
"Wait... wait until the Tyrells have no time to take care of themselves and have to beg us."
Seeing Jaime Lannister's confused expression, Kevondo explained:
"To the south, the Dornish have invaded the Stormlands, and are attacking much faster than Aegon Targaryen could."
"The Reach itself isn't at peace either."
"An army of 20,000 people has been stationed at the border and may attack at any time."
"Believe me, Mrs. Olenna is under much greater pressure than us right now."
"We are not in a hurry to let go."
…
In fact, the news about these two people is still out of date.
The army from Dorne, led by Oberon Martell, has now arrived at the Castle of Crow's Nest.
The castle was already surrounded by 20,000 legions, but Oberon did not make the first move.
The surrender of Blackport City gave him a taste of the sweetness.
Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if we could advance all the way to Storm's End without losing any blood?
However, Lord Lister Morrigan, the defender of Crow's Nest, seemed to have no intention of surrendering.
The siege battle is about to break out.
The East Route Army is like this, and the West Route Army is the Unsullied Corps that has been transported several times, plus some core nobles from Dorne.
After Daenerys obtained the old man's consent, she rushed back to the Dorne front line as quickly as possible.
Holding the Scepter of the Unsullied that Clay gave him.
He appointed himself the commander-in-chief of this army.
The army marched out from Prince's Pass and had already contributed to Yesong City.
Captured Earl Cullen and used it as an advance base to attack Highgarden.
Although it technically belongs to the Storm Land, take a look at the map.
Only a hundred miles to the northwest from Nightsong City is Highgarden City, the core of the Reach.
The Roses of Highgarden are dying of grief right now.
My family knows their own affairs.
The defeat without defeat last time put the support for the war in the entire High Court to an almost explosive state.
The peasants left the grain in the fields unharvested and went to fight with the lords.
A lot of people died and nothing was gained.
When they retreated to the Reach, the lords sent some of their troops home.
They just never want to be drafted again.
The Reach may seem prosperous, but its internal stability is actually very poor.
If you want to mobilize the forces in the territory again, you must make them believe that their army can win.
Therefore, the Tyrells planned to bring over the top Lannister armies of the Seven Kingdoms.
Hold a few armed demonstrations to cheer up the times.
But now, it seems that Targaryen and Martell do not intend to give them this time.
There was no other way. Under pressure, Tyrell could only order the major lords to forcibly recruit troops and gather them southeast of Highgarden to prepare to resist the invasion of Targaryen and Dorne.
