Looking through the long list of dead and missing, Clay finally understood what the bloody smell the old man was talking about was.

At present, the entire Westeros has been at peace for more than ten years. Although it has experienced Balon Greyjoy's rebellion, it was not a national war after all.

But in invisible places, this kind of unknown bloody killings are carried out day after day, year after year.

Clay didn't know anyone on the list, not even one of them, so he couldn't feel sad for these people, but he could feel the cruelty behind it.

“I don’t want to see anything withheld from the pensions for the deceased.”

After a moment of silence, Clay said slowly.

"No, no one will be deducted from them. This is a rule and no one can violate it." It was Snow who spoke. He was a little surprised that Clay would care about this issue. He knew the young master of White Harbor There have been some changes.

Nodding, Clay frowned and said nothing. He sorted out the information on the entire White Sea Guard in his mind.

There is no way to compare it with other similar institutions, but overall, this is a place where the stalls are very large and have a certain effect, but the efficiency is not high.

Except for the Reach, Storm, and Dorne in the south, which are really beyond reach, there are branches in other places, and you can also get some information, such as Duke Tully is seriously ill and has fainted several times, and whether the nobles of the valley can shoulder Robert Arryn's responsibility. Information such as doubts about Erin Valley.

But these news, especially the news from King's Landing, are almost all bloody. Clay is not afraid of giving the death agent's family a modest pension. With the old man behind him, he will definitely be able to make this money. Take it out.

The problem is, that's not how things work. Obtaining information in a peaceful state is so laborious. Clay really doubts how long his White Sea Guards can maintain in these places once the war breaks out and other nobles' intelligence agencies are in full force. .

At the moment, Clay, who has just taken over, cannot change this situation for the time being, but he has an advantage. He knows who are worthy targets of surveillance and can condense the scattered forces of the White Sea Guards in these places into a few strong points. .

"Am I now in a position to exercise my powers as commander, Sir Bartimus?"

"Of course, when you wear this ring, this conference room, this tower, and the entire White Sea Guard will be at your command, my lord."

Sir Bartimus nodded and answered Clay. His tone was quite relaxed, as if he was relieved to be relieved of his duties as commander.

After thinking for a long time, Clay issued his first order in this conference room:

"Since I am the commander now, here are my orders:"

"First, remove all surveillance in the north except Winterfell, reorganize and send to Winterfell, mainly observe two points:

Has Bran Stark changed recently? Change in every sense of the word. Monitor Lady Catelyn's whereabouts and report immediately if she moves south. "

"Xue Nuo, you are responsible for this matter to avoid personnel accumulation and reduce the risk of exposure."

Snow nodded slightly in agreement. He didn't want to argue with Clay, the newly appointed commander. To put it bluntly, the White Harbor Guard belonged to the entire Mandalay family. As the young master, Clay's order itself was not good. Violate.

Moreover, he himself was also very curious as to why Clay concentrated all his efforts on monitoring Winterfell and specifically named Bran Stark and Lady Catelyn. What information did he want to obtain from them?

After arranging the northern territory, Clay then looked at Director Hewen:

"General Manager River, continue to pay attention to Duke Tully's condition in the Riverlands. In addition, focus your efforts on the Twins. During my trip to the Frey family, give me a way. I may need your help."

"Okay, sir, the White Sea Guards will do their best to ensure your safety when you are a guest in the Twins City."

The voice of Steward Hewen came from the shadow where he was, and Clay continued:

"In addition, for a long-term mission, I need the structural diagram near the city gate of Twin River City, but this matter is not urgent. I don't want to smell too much blood in this matter."

Director Hewen didn't reply, so Clay just thought he heard it. This kind of risk-taking situation was indeed full of northern style, but Clay didn't advocate it.

As for Steward Hisham, who manages the Western Intelligence Network, Clay asked him to stop confronting the spies of the Lannister family and to steal information from the Lannister on Lannister territory. Clay felt that this was not necessary.

"I don't care what method you use, just give me a handle on one or two Lannister members and control them. Try to be members who can enter and leave the Lannister castle."

Unexpectedly, Manager Hisham shook his head and sighed:

"Sir, as you said, we have tried it before, but the effect was not good, and several people were exposed because of it. Duke Tywin has very strict management of people who can enter and leave the castle."

Manager Hisham's words made Clay realize that the situation in the Western Territory is more complicated than he thought, but this cannot be ignored. Once there is a war, the Northern Territory and the Western Territory are worthy opponents.

Sometimes, the victory or defeat of a war begins with a simple message.

Since there are difficulties, Clay does not plan to change the status quo in a hurry now. He takes a step back and just asks Manager Hisham to maintain the intelligence network there and preserve himself under appropriate circumstances. Temporary shrinkage is acceptable.

When he frees up his hands, he must run the Western Region's intelligence system well.

There was not much to say about the valley, and Clay had no idea what to do with the place.

As for the king's leader, Clay's order is very simple. The White Harbor Guard must not become a victim of the battle between the gods of King's Landing.

Clay asked them to just find out where Finance Minister Petyr and Intelligence Chief Varys often appeared.

He himself will definitely enter King's Landing in the future. No matter what his status is, he wants to invite you two to experience the taste of the Yakshi Seal.

Finally, he gave a special task to Wei Shui, the general manager of the royal family, and it was a name: Hall Li Ke.

This name brought about the first assassination in his life. Things happened in a hurry, and Clay had no choice but to let him go, originally thinking of killing him with the help of Petyr.

But now, Clay, who has taken over the White Sea Guards, wants to know if this minor player in the Liko family is still alive. If he is still alive, Clay will send him greetings from the Mandalay family.

Supervisor Weishui frowned. He had never heard of the name Hall Li Ke at all. The Li Ke family had heard about it a little bit. It seemed to be a vassal family of the Lake family in Dusk Valley Town.

Putting aside where Master Clay knew this name, why does he care about this person who may not be worth a gold dragon?

"Sir, this..."

"Don't worry about it, execute the order, I want his information!"
