The next morning, when the impatient Walton Frey led one of his troops to force their way into the Mandalay family's residence, they were stopped by the guard captain. When the two sides were at war with each other, a Frey guard with a strange expression appeared. He rode over and brought news that stunned Wharton Frey:

His daughter, Walda Frey, was not in the Mandalay family residence at this time, but was staying in her room, where she should belong.

Axi's magic power prevented her from completing the task assigned to her by her father, and also disrupted her memory.

An angry Walton Frey left in a hurry. How he would live with the confused Walda Frey was none of Clay's business.

The magic at his fingertips flickered, and the ice power caused by Alder's Seal extinguished the candle. Clay stood on the high platform, coldly watching the departing figures of Frey.

This was not because the northern army led by Robert was stuck under the Twins City and was forced to accept the Frey family's marriage contract in order to cross the river as soon as possible to seize the opportunity. Now Clay has no such concerns.

He could marry whomever he wanted, or marry no one at all. At least on the surface, no one had any reason to force him. This was also the reason why he dared to come to Twins City so neatly.

After breakfast, Clay left the station with his escort. Yesterday's entertainment was over. After that, he would do what he wanted to do, such as taking a closer look at the fortress on the Green Fork River.

The Frey family has been here for six hundred years. From the time they established this fortress until now, no one has ever attacked this fortress head-on.

It's not that this fortress has any magic spell. In fact, it is just an ordinary masonry mixed fortress, and the city wall is not very tall. At least in Clay's eyes, the city wall of Twins City is far inferior to the huge wall of White Harbor.

But the thing is, this fort has an excellent advantage, which is the Green Fork River that never dries up across its belly.

The existence of this river means that enemies who want to capture it will never be able to completely surround it, or even half of it, because only one side of the east and west fortresses faces the shore.

What's even more disgusting is that since the bridgehead is not very big, the battlefield for the siege is actually very narrow. Even if the opponent in Twin River City has a far greater military advantage than it, if it really wants to fight, it can only send a small number of troops to each attack. For some people, this has become a fueling tactic.

Before Aegon's conquest, the Twins, which was far away from the main battlefields of the river lands, had never encountered a decent opponent. The high tolls gave it the ability to raise an army of three thousand.

Therefore, this small twin river city and its owners, the Frey family, gradually grew stronger and became a stubborn stone on the Green Fork River that could not be washed away no matter how hard it was washed away.

Now, no one in the entire northern border has thought about what they will do when this bridge really blocks them. Clay, who knows that the war will inevitably break out and must prepare early, comes to this fortress in person, thinking Look for its weaknesses.

Clay's location was at the castle on the east bank of the Green Fork River. The Frey family's main castle was also built here, so Clay decided to look at it from the east gate.

Clay doesn't know much about military affairs, but that doesn't mean that everyone doesn't. During the chat on the way here, Clay had already learned roughly how to breach a fortress from the captain of the guard, a veteran who had participated in the Usurper War. Rough approach.

The Frey family has always sent people to guard the entrance of the Mandalay family residence where Clay is located. When he saw Clay coming out, this little Frey, who Clay could not name, immediately came forward with a look on his face. He asked with a smile:

"Master Clay, where are you going?"

After glancing at this little character whose name Clay was not interested in knowing, Clay replied calmly:

"Go and walk around the city wall. You don't have to follow us. I believe that under this sunshine, as long as I stay here, there is nothing that the Marquis doesn't know, right?"

Patting the embarrassed Frey family member, Clay led his guards towards the city gate.

The small fortress was actually very lively, with various vendors placing their goods on both sides of the road, shouting loudly, and selling some strange gadgets that even Clay couldn't recognize.

Occasionally, soldiers wearing uniforms with Frey's Twin Towers emblems engraved on them did not make it difficult for these vendors who occupied the road to operate. It was not that they were merciful, but the entry tax at the city gate had already made these guys salivate. They looked down upon these little things. Just a poor bastard.

Pretending to ask the guards to buy something from a nearby stall, Clay came to the city gate and stood aside, looking across the crowd and carefully looking at the east gate of Twin River City.

This is a black steel gate, and each of the thick steel bars is wider than the thickness of Clay's calf.

On the outside of the steel bar, there is a black oak door. Clay had noticed this door when he entered the city. It was not that thick, and it did not seem to provide very good defense.

But in a war, the attacking party must completely destroy this wooden gate before they can attack the stainless steel gate behind it.

After looking at it for a long time, Clay came to the conclusion that there are two solutions to solve this gate. The first is not to let it down, or someone to pull it up during the siege.

This is actually a problem, that is, how to arrange the person who controls the gate to this position at the beginning of the war.

Clay thought of his White Sea Guards. Perhaps, this was the direction of their next phase of work. It just so happened that Clay also wanted to find out some information from the White Sea Guards here.

The second idea is to skip the gate itself without solving it. As long as the army can surround the city long enough, Clay can find enough craftsmen to climb over the gate from underground. There are such craftsmen in White Harbor.

But this method takes time. If the military situation is urgent, this method can only be used as a backup option.

It would be nice if he had a few mammoths. With that thing there, he could just pull it away. Why would there be so much trouble? Clay muttered in his heart.

After picking some things that they liked, each one of the escorts of the wealthy man from White Harbor carried his own things and returned to Clay one after another.

When the last person came back, Clay nodded, evaluated their shopping skills, and led them up the city wall.

In the past, when he was patrolling the city of White Harbor, Clay saw in front of him not only the endless ocean, but also busy sailors and bustling citizens.

As for climbing the city wall here, for some reason, Clay always felt a sense of decay and discomfort, not only because of the flying twin tower flags inserted at the top of the city, but also because of the moss that covered the gaps between the city bricks.

The water vapor brought by the Green Fork River has completely eroded the castle, making it wet all over.

On the city wall, Clay accidentally discovered a person whom he had met at the banquet yesterday, Sir Aenys Frey, the third son of Lord Walder Frey.
