Chapter 64 Blood-Stained Letter

This was probably the case. Clay didn't want Anti River to stay in his place for too long, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to the White Sea Guard's organization in Twins City.

"You have heard about the mission, go ahead and carry it out. If anything happens in Twin River City, immediately send a raven to the Wolf's Den to contact me. However, I remind you not to expose yourself when asking for information. Now, it is not the time to fight desperately. "

With endless thoughts, he once again became a merchant who was familiar with the guards of White Harbor. Anti River patted the guards on the shoulders, carried a bottle of inferior ale, and left Mandalay pretending to be swaying. The family's residence.

In fact, there is still some information compiled by Anti Hewen, but Clay does not need to leave him here to wait for him to read it. After all, this is still the territory of the Frey family, so it is better to be cautious in everything.

Through the window of the study room, Clay watched Anti Hevin blend into the crowd. It was not until Clay could no longer catch Anti Hevin's not-so-tall back that he could see him, and he slowly sat back down. In the chair, his right hand picked up the information on the table.

In addition to the few pieces just mentioned, the rest is information related to members of the Frey family. Anti River collected information on several women who had contact with Clay, as well as several more important Foleys. Ray family member information.

For these people, Anti Hevin signed their suggestions at the back and explained the reasons for the suggestions.

"It is not recommended that Master Clay Manderly have more contact with Walda Frey, the daughter of Walton Frey, because there are rumors throughout the Twins that "Wada the Beauty" and "Black Walder", a member of the Frey family Having an affair.”

"After multiple verifications, this situation is true. Therefore, it is recommended that Clay Manderly never have cross-border contact with Walda Frey."

Reading these words gently, Clay understood that this message was an order he gave when he was in the Wolf's Lair in White Harbor. There was not a word about the White Sea Guards in it, and the lack of a subject could be regarded as a tribute to Clay and White Harbor. A form of protection from the Sea Guard.

Walda Frey? Clay chewed on the name here, and he remembered that night full of horror. Good guy, is Walda Frey eating from the bowl and thinking about himself on the plate?

He also recalled that when he and Walda Frey were dancing in the hall of the Frey family's main castle, there was a man leaning against the wall with eyes full of jealousy. Clay still has the impression of that, saying Maybe, he is the so-called "Black Walder", right?

…

In the next few days, Clay would receive various invitations from Freys whose names he had forgotten almost every day. Except that Marquis Walder Frey sent people to stop him at first, now it seems that Just don't care.

Clay's response to these invitations was to reject them all. His purpose of coming to the Twins had been achieved, and there was no reason to get entangled with these Freys, who had extremely complicated relationships with each other.

His layout in Twins City would not be apparent at all if he hadn't been here personally. For example, how could he, sitting in White Harbor, remotely control the White Sea Guards here to infiltrate the defenders and carry out the war? Waiting for an opportunity to seize the city gate.

The current conflicts between the members of the Frey family have not yet been brought to light, and it is not easy for him to take advantage of them. He does not have so much time to spend here observing and then choosing people to place bets on.

Now that the layout has begun, Clay is already thinking about how to leave the Twins in a reasonable way. He came here at the invitation of the Frey family. Amid the great expectations of the Frey family, not only did he not reach any engagement, he even His elder sister has not let up at all on the marriage issue.

Although it was not necessary, Clay had to have a reasonable reason for leaving, and it was obviously not appropriate to just walk away.

At dusk, leaning on a chair sewn with soft cushions, Clay enjoyed the extremely comfortable breeze in the south. The orange sunshine scattered on his body. The red wine glass in his hand was slowly swaying. In front of him, there was a bed. A simplified version of the map of the Riverlands.

No matter how you look at it, this land is more suitable for human survival than the bitter cold land in the north. Three rivers, the Green Fork River, the Red Fork River, and the Blue Fork River, flow through here, bringing sufficient moisture to the land here.

Therefore, with the exception of the Riverlands further south, which is known as the Green Land, the Riverlands is probably the most densely populated place in the entire Seven Kingdoms.

However, as the masters of the Riverlands, the Tully family neither controls the Blood Gate in the east nor the Golden Tooth City in the west. Although they are only two fortresses, without control of these two places, it does not matter in peacetime. , if war comes, it will be fatal.

This means that in the east of the Riverlands, there is no way to stop the knights of the Vale from pouring out of the Blood Gate. In the west, Tywin Lannister's elite army can directly enter the undefended plains of the Riverlands. They marched directly to the capital of the Riverlands, the city of Riverrun.

Moreover, in the south, although Harrenhal, the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms, nominally belongs to the Riverlands, Riverrun's control there is basically non-existent. Enemies killed from the south go all the way north along the King's Road, and the entire Riverlands The nobles still could not find a fortress that could be used as a stronghold.

As for the north, the Twins City, which hangs alone on the upper reaches of the Green Fork River, is very powerful. In the past few years, it has become less and less serious about Lord Hoster Tully, who has been on the sickbed for a long time in Riverrun.

To sum up, the Riverland is a great plain that is in the midst of four wars. However, the nobles here have always been ranked behind in terms of strength among the entire Seven Kingdoms.

Nowadays, the young heir of Riverrun, Edmure Tully, has no reputation for being a follower. It can be said that once a foreign enemy invades, the Riverlands will immediately become a piece of sand and collapse without attack.

Frowning, Clay looked at the land with a headache.

The alliance between the direwolves and the Trout will only come to an end unless all the Starks and Tullys die, and until this happens, the North is a staunch ally of the Tullys.

Already preparing for war, he naturally had to consider how to reduce the strength of the Riverlands before reinforcements from the north arrived.

As for expecting the nobles of the Riverlands to unite closely under the banner of Silver Trout and defeat the arrogant invader Lannister army, that is purely wishful thinking. Doubling the current army of the Riverlands cannot be achieved.

There is no God of War in the Riverlands here, which can save the invaders from capturing a few castles. It is considered that these adults in the Riverlands have performed beyond their level.

But it would be unwise not to reduce losses. At least until Clay starts his own business or finds another way out, he will be a member of the Northern Territory. However, it is obvious that the Northern Territory's manpower cannot allow them to suffer continuous failures.

Once, after gathering the entire North, including the Frey family's army, Robb Stark, the King of the North, only had 23,000 men. He could defeat the Lannister once, twice, or three times, but Lannis If Te hit him hard once, he would have to go home.

While he was thinking, suddenly, Clay's ears keenly caught the sound of iron boots stepping on the wooden stairs. Someone was coming. The next second, the door was suddenly pulled back, and the guard captain was out of breath and handed a rolled up white note to Clay:

"My lord, believe it!"

Wondering why he had such a big reaction, Clay pulled out the note and was stunned after just one glance, because the first sentence on it was:

"The White Harbor caravan was attacked in the northeast of Twins City. Forty-eight of the 54 people in the entire convoy were killed, and six others are missing. Commander, please be careful!"

This was a letter from Anti Hevin to himself. The trident pattern at the signature told Clay. Through the clean and tidy letter paper, Clay smelled the strong smell of blood.

Typos will be posted first and corrected later. Please support me.

I will leave the Twins soon, but things here are not over yet. Since in another timeline, the Frey family chose to betray, then here, I will also give Lord Walder Frey a The end of betrayal.
