The king on the Great Wall

Page 163

With this epiphany, Iger puts his heart on saving Drogon.He gave orders to the first soldiers who had poured into the castle jubilantly: to start devising plans to tear down the west gate of Last Hearth so that Drogon could be brought into the castle.

After waiting for a while, the Crown Town Guard, the core of the land-grant army, also escorted the queen into the castle.

……

"In the end Hearth City is yours, Your Majesty the Queen." Iger announced in a dignified manner after a brief salute to Daenerys, and then tried to suppress the tone of blame, "But, we didn't agree before: I will enter the city Check the situation, you are waiting a little far outside the city, don't let the dragon show up...why did you still let Lei Ge fly over the castle?"

Iger didn't tell Rickard at all... and Daenerys agreed to "set the dragon to burn the city if you don't come out in an hour."Lei Ge's overflight turned an ordinary investigation and inquiry, which was like entering his own home, into an adventure like going to a meeting alone - he was not unwilling to take risks, but hated such unplanned and unnecessary risks.Although relying on the on-the-spot performance and the dragon's deterrence finally succeeded in persuading the other party to evacuate, he doubted whether Rickard was really moved by his promise.A more likely scenario is that the old guy pretended to be attracted by the temptation to divide the land, but in fact he immediately sued Robb Stark as soon as he returned to Cahoe City, claiming that the Night Watchman had robbed the castle of the Umber family, Bad intentions.

The seeds of conflict have already been planted, and the plan to allow the northern border to provide dragon crystals and nitrates as usual may be difficult to proceed smoothly.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment. However, no matter how you plan and plan, the queen is still a queen, and she is not a puppet controlled by herself.Iger would not be so stupid as to show his emotions and offend him, asking why the monarch he was loyal to cheated himself.

"You've been in for so long, I'm worried you're in trouble." Daenerys explained without noticing, "What if something happens to you, and I'm unknown to anyone in the Land Grant Army?"

"The commander-in-chief means that he was sure to persuade the Karstarks to give up the castle. Your Majesty, you let the dragon fly over their heads, which made him fall into a passive position instead." Maqiro stared at Iger with a smile and said, "Is that what your lord means?"

"Uh, maybe I'm confused because I care about it, sorry. But...you're fine." Daenerys didn't speak bluntly, she was ashamed and apologized frankly, without arrogance and innocence, instead she let Iger's resentment go away blocked back.

This little queen has a different brain circuit from her own, Iger thought helplessly.There is a high probability that she really cares about herself rather than deliberately adding trouble, and what's worse-she made a mess of manipulations and hit the right side, which really scared Karstark away, but herself-but it's not like Marqoro It is said that the Karstarks can be dissuaded without relying on dragons.

Although this crisis was caused by the queen's reckless operation, I am afraid that he is also responsible: he should have guessed the purpose of the Karstarks occupying Last Hearth City from the beginning, and should not have illusions, but should directly besiege the city and use Force and dragon forced them to give way to the city.

"Forget it...it's nothing."

Thinking of this, Iger couldn't hold back his anger immediately. He shook his head helplessly, and decided not to be a complaining woman—to suffer from being dumb and remember the lesson.

If a subordinate executes an order wrongly, he can avoid similar situations by alienating or not reusing this person.Relying on this method, Iger has indeed established a command system and leadership team that prohibits orders and has high execution capabilities. However, the Queen... can't just kick her out and change her family just because she made a mess once.

If you change jobs at work, the more you jump, the higher your salary, but as a night watchman who should be neutral, if you keep changing camps in politics, you will make yourself more and more despised and worthless.

He is a vassal, at least for now.If the king he is loyal to has a special brain circuit and personality, what he should do is to take this into consideration as a variable in advance, rather than hoping to reverse the former way of thinking.Iger has a hunch, similar to the situation caused by different personalities, I am afraid that there will be more and no less in the future.

After he figured this out, he stopped worrying about it: "I will personally monitor the construction of the temporary dragon's lair for Drogon to recuperate. It's cold weather, please ask Your Majesty to rest in the house first, and I'll be there soon."

"Yes." Daenerys nodded, and accompanied by Marquisro, entered the main castle.

……

Putting the unpleasant things behind, Iger first started to arrange the construction of the temporary dragon lair: the land-grant army will try to transport Drogon into the castle first, and then use timber to lay a piece of wood above the ground between the fortress and the city wall next to the school grounds. In a dry area, set up a large shed to create a sheltered and generally airtight space for the injured black dragon.Such a temporary building may be too simple for people to live in, and it will inevitably be too cold without a stove, but the dragon itself has a high body temperature, as long as it can create an environment where the heat loss is slower than the open air, the dragon nest will naturally be warm, no need to worry Dragons would freeze to death.

Then, he sent several troops to several other large winter settlements in the south of the castle and northeast of Amber's territory to solicit and buy live sheep from the local residents that could be used to feed the dragons.

After dealing with this matter, Iger finally summoned the army from the Great Wall, headed by the Rangers of Castle Black... those "old-school night watchmen" who had put on black clothes before he was elected commander-in-chief, and arranged for them a new one. Task: Immediately go to various parts of the northern border, collect the dragon crystals that were originally distributed to the local residents and teach them to cook the nitrate.

The positions are already different, and I don't know how long the fragile peace between the land grant and the northern border can last. Iger decided to stop the loss as much as possible before the situation collapsed.

Old-school night watchmen like Jon Snow, who voluntarily joined the Great Wall Defenders and aimed at pursuing honor and pension, could not approve and support him to get rid of neutrality and help the queen to conquer the world.It's not very useful to keep them around... It's clean to send them out: the labels of black clothes and conservatives, which have been put on for a long time, are the best amulets at this time-even if there is an all-out war, the strategic goal of the northern border must be to change An obedient commander-in-chief is not to destroy the Night Watch Corps. For those ordinary Night Watch soldiers, the Northern Territory must focus on recruiting and using them, rather than directly arresting or even stabbing them.This means: sending the night watchman soldiers out to perform the task of collecting resources, it is naturally best to bring back what they want, but even if they fail, the result is nothing but returning empty-handed, which is suitable for this task.

After making some fragmentary arrangements, Iger thought about everything, turned around and walked to the middle of the castle, and entered the main castle where the Amber family lived for generations.

The fire was burning brightly in the fireplace that had just been filled with firewood, and the room was already warm.

The soldiers thoroughly inspected every corner of the castle according to the order. The corpses and bloodstains have been cleaned up long ago, and there is no one who should not be hiding... except for gold and silver utensils and other valuables, which are suspected to be stolen by the Karstarks. In addition, there is basically no shortage of necessary facilities and items.The queen and the two priests of the King of Light have been waiting for him for a long time, and Iger didn't dare to waste any more time. He sat down in the shiny chair of an unknown member of the Amber family, before the incomplete queen, and began to discuss the next step action.

Chapter 456 Operations Research

"Please allow me to ask first, Your Majesty." Seeing Daenerys's distracted look, Iger knew that she could not be counted on to preside over the meeting, so he took the initiative to speak after sitting down, "Before dark, the soldiers will be able to Drogon was transported into the city, and if necessary, we can even rush to build the dragon's lair overnight...but now I need to know how is Drogon's injury, and how long will it take to recover his ability to move and go to the sky again?"

"No one can tell." Melisandre answered the question for the Queen. "The piercing on the wing membrane of the dragon's two wings is a small problem. The trouble is that the bone in the left wing was cracked by the attack of the white ghost. Marquiro and I He has some magic that can speed up the recovery of injuries, but the effect on magical creatures is not as obvious as that on people, and the dragon is too big, even if the magic that can bring people back to life is applied to it, it is like scratching. Not to mention its belly is also Trauma caused injuries to internal organs... We have limited capabilities, so we can only give priority to keeping its life alive, and injuries other than the core organs in the torso must be healed by itself."

"According to the records, the vitality and resilience of dragons are much stronger than that of humans. Drogon's life is likely to be saved. Unfortunately, people with experience in caring for injured dragons have all died, and the queen has never encountered Similar situations have happened.” Ma Qiluo took the words of the priestess, “We can only roughly infer that it should take more than a month, and there is no guarantee that it will recover to a certain extent. Therefore, it is best for the commander-in-chief to make two-handed preparations.”

It was not worse than imagined. Iger, who thought he would be "bruised for a hundred days", secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but nodded calmly on his face: "Another dragon, Rhaegar, can your majesty ride it?"

No one else can answer this question. After thinking about it for a while, Daenerys explained: "If the 'riding' you mean is whether you can climb on Rhaego's body, then there is a high probability that there is no problem. But if you mean It is impossible to ride him to fight or fly long distances. The specific reasons are very complicated to explain... Dragon riders are not as simple as riding on the back of a dragon. Even if I am their mother, I cannot violate this rule .”

Iger didn't quite understand what the Queen was talking about, but since the other party was definitely an expert in this field, he could only fully accept the explanation.

"The situation will be a bit troublesome, Your Majesty." He said with a frown. "With the love Your Majesty has for his child, I'm afraid he won't leave Drogon until he recovers from his injury. If the other dragon is not easy to ride, then It is conceivable that you will stay in Last Hearth City for a long time to come—and this has brought at least two major problems."

"The first problem is that if you can't return to the southern battlefield in the short term, you have to consider the reactions of other forces. In the battle of Changhu, although the northern border hastily assembled the entire army in the future, the number of participants is not large. , and at least 4000 people left the battlefield alive. With the soldiers returning home, the daily exchange of supplies between the land grant and the northern residents, and I sending the night watchmen to various tasks to perform multiple tasks, this battle between humans and ghosts The details of the story will soon spread north of the Neck... On the bright side, the spread of the truth will turn public opinion in our favor: it will be difficult for the Lords of the North to react to a situation where the Night's Watch and Queen you have just made a great sacrifice to protect them The next choice is to go to war overwhelmingly; but on the downside, once the news of your three dragons being killed and two wounded in the Battle of Long Lake reaches the rivers, valleys, and especially King's Landing, your army in the south will be able to survive in your absence. Do you want to meet the challenges of all forces?"

"Stannis is a formidable opponent," Daenerys replied gravely after a few seconds of silence. "Without dragons, I have no chance of defeating him, even if I am in the army."

"It's great that you can understand this." Although the queen's brain circuit is not the same as her own, fortunately, her IQ is normal. She can clearly understand this and save Iger a lot of trouble, "Then I think, The most important thing to do next is to notify you of the army surrounding King's Landing as quickly as possible at all costs, lift the siege formation, shrink back to the nearest castle and stronghold and turn it into a defensive state, lest Stannis lead his army out of the city attack."

"Are there ravens flying south in this castle?"

"In the end, there was no Hearth City, but there were quite a few in Houguan Town. A few days ago, I ordered the scouting troops to return to the land-grant to fetch the letter crows. From the time point of view, the crow cages will be brought by tomorrow at the latest. By then, you want Write your own pen and issue an order to your army. In addition to simply lifting the siege of King's Landing, I also want to ask you to garrison the army at the Night Watchman Industrial Park to prevent Stannis from forcibly Return the Night's Watch to the Iron Throne... The Blackwall of the Night's Watch is not a stronghold, but it is close to the Blackwater River, with your navy and the Unsullied on the Blackwater Bay and the north bank of the river, and the south bank. With the Golden Legion and the armies of the Reach stalking, the defenders of King’s Landing will not necessarily take the risk of storming. I assure you, it’s also for the same reason that is complicated to explain—that little black castle is crucial for you to rule the Seven Kingdoms in the future. Extremely critical!"

The reason is actually not complicated, but Iger doesn't want to explain it. If the Night Watchman Industrial Park continues to boil and collect nitrate after I left last time, and improve the nitrate production process along the way... then count it from the time At this moment, most of the high-quality nitrate in the Black Wall Fort has accumulated tens of tons.Suffering from the interruption of the King's Road and the east coast air route caused by the war, it was impossible to transport it northward, so I had to lead an army to the south to get it - pure saltpeter was second, and the group of technicians and skilled workers were the greatest wealth. , before the nitrate mine is discovered and controlled, he must keep the industrial park.

Fortunately, Stannis only knows that the industrial park has a fairly good productivity and is a cash cow, but it is impossible for him to know how important it is to himself and the whole world. As long as there are thousands of people guarding him, he is unlikely to take risks. Great risk to rob.

Daenerys showed great favor in this request, and she didn't ask why: "It's not troublesome, there is one more question?"

"Dragon's recovery cycle determines that we will inevitably stay in the Last Hearth City for a long time, and the night will be full of dreams. If we say that in the past... we may have hoped that Robb Stark would find out with his conscience, and after being saved by you, he chose to be neutral and let me go. Going south to serve you... Then as we occupy a northern castle for a long time, it will inevitably lead to the suspicion of 'we have a plan for the northern territory'. The contradiction is becoming more and more intensified, and it is difficult to explain. The conflict between the two sides The probability will be greatly increased." Iger explained with a serious face, "In addition, I have to admit that the performance of the White Walkers in this attack is much more ferocious and cunning than I imagined, which directly leads to - the land grant in defense Losses far exceeded expectations."

The loss of the defense line of the Grand Canyon and the transfer base of Canyon Watch, and the thrilling victory of East Watch, caused a total loss of 1000 soldiers in the two initial battles; then most of the defenders of the Shadow Tower were killed by more than [-] people; It was the fall of the Sentinel Tower, and then the defensive battle of Houguan Town; plus the loss of a few hundred people in Ice Strait Harbor in the ironman raid and the number of casualties that have not yet been released in the final battle a few days ago... The number of troops lost in the attack was really close to the tens of thousands mentioned earlier, more than twice the original estimate!

The military organization attributes of the Night Watchman itself, and the great advantage of the new land-grant people from outside the Great Wall who are all soldiers and tribal habits, make the land-grant indeed have a very high war mobilization rate-although the total population is less than 1, but Iger estimated that he should be able to bring nearly [-] people to the stage of the battle for the Iron Throne... But now, even if all the adults and young adults including the mountain clans in the entire land grant are counted, it is still impossible to count. Not more than [-]—not to mention that I must leave an objective force to guard the base camp.

Even if all the Spearwives are armed, the number of troops I can mobilize will not exceed four thousand, and with such a small number of people, I want to bravely cross the entire northern border, cross the Neck, and run across the river to King's Landing It is really a bit of pressure to merge with the night watchman industry - if you want others not to do anything, in addition to affection, you must also have the ability to match.Gunpowder is indeed a generation difference weapon, but it is by no means so magical that with it, you can do whatever you want without hindrance. The army must have a minimum scale to form a certain fault tolerance rate to ensure peace of mind.

In the original plan, the Queen was just a springboard for him, a tool that allowed him to jump out of the land grant after fighting the White Walkers.But now, with the final battle against the White Walkers not going exactly as planned, the situation has changed 180 degrees: he is now really dependent on the queen.

"The remaining strength of the night watchmen cannot guarantee your safety, and you may not be comfortable using us rough guys. Your Majesty, it is best to mobilize a small amount of troops from the south and go north by sea to come to you as a guard. in case."

Chapter 457

After some discussion, Daenerys accepted Iger's overall suggestion, drafted a concise order, carried out remote mobilization and redeployment of the army far in the south, and summoned the closest guards to come to the Great Wall by sea Join her.

After leaving the manuscript to Iger to copy, the queen who was worried about the "children" suspended the meeting and went out to check the progress of the dragon team dragging Drogon into the castle.

Thanks to the instillation and brainwashing of a large number of film and television works and an institution such as Disneyland, the "castle" that most modern people feel is like Winterfell or the Red Castle - stone and brick fortresses, thick walls and tall castles, A comprehensive mansion with many guard towers + strong fortress.But in fact, the castles of the nobles of Westeros in this era are rarely so magnificent and beautiful, especially in the north:

Except for the Stark family, who was once the king of the North and now the guardian of the North has to maintain a big castle to prop up the facade, many of the other middle- and low-level earl-level nobles with large territories are cold and barren, with few residents. A wall encloses a large compound or pocket village inhabited by servants and servants, and only a slightly taller and stronger fortress will be built in the center or at the highest point for the lord to live in... The Last Hearth City in the extreme north is Typical in this category: the remote location of the northernmost part of the Seven Kingdoms, with no oil and water, poor and hard work, makes it almost impossible to encounter attacks from other princes, and the tired and hungry little boy who passed through the night watchman territory The savages will never have the strength to touch Amber's house - it is rare to be attacked, so its owner will not build the castle so large and majestic that it is difficult to maintain: it is definitely economical and applicable - at least it is not made of pure wood but It is because some stone walls are used to make it look more like a castle than Deepwood Motte. The so-called "Godswood" is less than half the size of Winterfell, and there are actually a kind of "godswood" under the weirwood. Over traces of vegetables...

It is not a fortified city made of steel, and it is attacked and destroyed by an army of ghouls. It appears to be quite "plastic" in the presence of hundreds of land-grants.The land-donors, who spared no effort in tools, physical strength, and damage, quickly removed the obstructing door frame, door panel and upper beams of the west gate, and opened a huge gap in the wall.

There is an entrance to the castle, but there are still difficulties when actually dragging the dragon sled in: the combined vehicle carrying the dragon is simply connected by multiple sleds, it is not a regular and solid whole, and it cannot pass smoothly at all. A drawbridge spanning the frozen moat... A group of night watchmen and land granters debated for a while to no avail, and finally the impatient queen couldn't wait to get off in person: Daenerys walked to the sleigh to appease Drogon Queen Encouraging it to stand up from the sled, let it walk the last 200 meters staggeringly, climb into the empty west gate, and lie down on the dragon nest laid by the soldiers after raising the ground.

When the dragon is in place, the last step of the project has the basis for starting: due to limited conditions and time, people cannot design and build a real "dragon lair" for Drogon to move in with his bags, so after several considerations, he finally chose the simplest solution: Start work after the dragon is in place, build a semi-enclosed tent above its body to protect it from the wind and snow, and reduce the amount of work and resource consumption as much as possible. Remove the tent or let it "break out of its shell" on its own, and the temporary dragon lair's mission is complete.

……

The sun gradually disappeared behind the clouds in the western sky, and the temperature began to plummet. Torches and oil lamps were lit in the castle, and people came and went, rushing to work in full swing.Stakes here, ropes tied there, and someone clumsily sewing canvas...

Iger tried to persuade Daenerys to go back to the house to rest and let the soldiers below go to work, but the queen was very concerned about building the dragon's nest after she knew that Drogon would have to stay in this big tent for at least ten days in the future.She walked around with elegant yet domineering steps, completely unaware that her own existence was the most distracting factor for men. She would order the tent to be raised high so as not to hinder the black dragon from raising its head and stretching its body, and then instructed The workers built the frame more firmly to prevent the wind and snow from blowing it down and crushing it to the dragon... In every word and line, they seemed to be the most critical and strict owner in the world.

Seeing that she could get rid of sadness and depression from participation, Iger stopped persuading her, but led the guards to follow and protect her silently, not far or near, and let her exercise the power that a monarch should have... At the same time, it was also in her mind Carrying out my own reflection and calculation.

***

The crisis caused by Lei Ge's flying over the castle during the day was apparently an accident caused by the queen's willfulness, but in the final analysis, Iger himself was more responsible.

Not long after the Battle of Long Lake ended, I obviously didn't get out of the excitement and excitement of winning the battle after going through twists and turns... But rather than being dazzled by the victory, Iger felt that he was bigger The problem with this is: it seems that a lot has changed at once.

To deal with the enemy, he can exhaust his wits and plot to death without any psychological burden, and even kill them in the bud directly, but in the new field of how to deal with the existence of ambiguous positions between friends and enemies It seemed a little immature and powerless.

The more you use your brain, the brighter it becomes, and the White Walker didn't hurt his head during the battle and damage his intelligence. So what is the reason why he seems to be stupid?

The ancients said, "I examine myself three times a day". Iger has not been able to find time for self-reflection for several days due to the tension caused by the attack of the strange ghost. Now that he realized this, he calmed down and thought about it. Found the crux of the matter.

Although, in the grand plan, he has, as usual, sensibly included "being an enemy of the northern border" as a possible item, but he did not go one step further—how to deal with the northern border in case a conflict is inevitable. Practical details were considered!

Before the decisive battle in Long Lake, he didn't consider these because he had more important duties that had not been completed.However, it is still the same for several days after the victory of the war... To put it mildly, it is emotional, and subconsciously does not want to turn against the North; but thinking in another direction, it is undoubtedly paralyzed and underestimated the enemy.

Just like when it was time to take the math test after the Chinese test, he was still thinking about "how to write that essay better", he failed to complete the transformation from "Commander of the Night Watch" to "Queen's Supporter" and from a soldier in time. The fundamental reason is to change the role of a chess player.The friendship with the Stark family, the instinctive closeness and subconscious affection for the "allies" in the North for a long time, silently controlled and influenced his thinking and judgment, and if he continued to act in this state, even if he did not The matter of getting out of the Stark family will fall into another pit sooner or later.

Fortunately, it is not too late to remedy the situation.After finding the problem, the solution is also very simple: create a new plan immediately - in this plan, I and the North have become sworn enemies, and fire and water are incompatible.Under this premise, fill in the content and plan all the details of the next action.

His expression gradually became serious, his eyes began to lose focus, and the slender figure of Queen Miaoman in front faded out of his mind... After substituting in this way of thinking and deducing it in his brain, Iger quickly discovered that the situation is far more complicated than the battle between humans and ghosts Magnitude.

Chapter 458

As far as Iger knows, the northern border does not have any weapons or military preparations against dragons. With the north-south shipping blocked by the Targaryen fleet on Dragonstone Island and Stannis in King's Landing unable to provide external equipment and technical support, even if only Relying on Rhaego's dragon, Daenerys is enough to run amok in the north.

In addition, the land-grant army that just defeated and wiped out the invading White Walkers, relying on the highly efficient command system, good combat quality and training level, and the vigorous morale after the victory, their combat effectiveness is definitely not low.As long as you cooperate with Lei Ge a little bit, and carry out step tank... no, "step-dragon coordination", donate land and join hands with Dragon Queen, and you will be completely invincible in military affairs.

Is it true?

Iger became suspicious by the results of his simple strength assessment, frowned and carefully rechecked the judgment process, and quickly found a loophole.

Conflicts can be divided into hot wars and cold wars. In terms of fighting wars, Iger may be true, but you must know... the land grant he controls is only theoretically a power equal to the Seven Kingdoms, but in fact it has quite complicated and different forces. Stable internal composition.

Tywin once said: "Some victories are won with swords and spears, and some victories are won with pen and paper and ravens."

If you are the decision-maker in the northern border, and you have no perfect means to deal with dragons, and you really want to oppose the behavior of the Night Watchman breaking neutrality and fighting for the Iron Throne for the Dragon Queen, then there is actually a better way than launching a war and intervening by force The best choice: use soft power to solve problems with no or little blood.

……

The White Walkers have been repulsed, and the three major constituent forces of the land-grant: the foreign-aided mountain clansmen, the newly-returned land-grant people, and the original night watchman have lost the biggest reason for unity.At the same time, he, the supreme leader, is neither a natural lord nor a ruler in the usual sense, nor does he have his own family and heirs, nor does he have any mentors or disciples—he has a superficially firm control over the gifted land, and it really is After all, I am afraid that no earl in the northern border has a stable control over the fief - the legitimacy of the power and the legitimacy of the actions are the biggest shortcoming and weak point at the moment, and the northern border does not need to be able to defeat the entire land-grant , as long as you can overthrow yourself personally!

The Stark family only needs to: contact the mountain clan to express their position, and at the same time announce that they support the people outside the Great Wall to choose whether to stay or not, and then contact the opposition within the night watchman to cooperate internally and externally...

It is true that there are not many Game of Thrones players in the Northern Territory, but the opponent may not think of this move, but he must not be unprepared for this move.The three scumbags will be Zhuge Liang, if this group of idiots come up with the right idea through discussion, they can easily weaken the strength in their hands without too clever means, making him flustered and making mistakes in his busy schedule!

How to prevent it?

Don't panic, the most simple and direct way... Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.

Iger took a deep breath and began to think about countermeasures one by one.

***

Among the three land-granting forces, the mountain clan should be the best to settle.Don't look at how much they respect Eddie and how loyal they are to the Stark family in the rumors that they are part of the northern border in name... That is to adopt a moderate detention policy in the northern border: they are hardly required to pay taxes and food, and they are not required to serve in corvee In the case of no conflict of interest, there is a natural harmony.

However, in this harsh winter, it was the Night Watchmen Legion, more precisely the logistics department, that provided them with clothes to wear, food to eat, territory to stay and houses to live in, and who fought side by side with them against the wildlings and the White Walkers.As long as you have a good talk with those clan chiefs first, and promise enough benefits such as permanent territory of donated land, it may be a bit difficult for them to rebel against the northern border, but the only requirement is that they will not be used as a knife by the Stark family to stab themselves , there shouldn't be much of an obstacle.

Then there are the "new land-grant citizens" who joined at the latest but accounted for the largest number.This group of visitors from outside the Great Wall gathered under the banner of Mance Rayder in order to avoid the threat of the White Walkers. After being blocked outside the Great Wall by the Night Watchmen, in order to survive, the strong men cut off their wrists and self-reduction in exchange for the qualification to enter the Great Wall... In the Night Watchmen Under the strict management of "sticks and radishes", although there were still many troubles, the great contribution to the development of the land grant and the war must not be erased.Now, the existence that occupied their homes and forced them to leave their homes has disappeared. Among the foreign visitors who have turned into land-grant residents, there must be both those who are willing to continue to be well-fed, warmly clothed, and safe residents of the Seven Kingdoms after the war. Those who are not willing to be the "kneeling people" and want to return to outside the Great Wall to enjoy "freedom" and the per capita resources that have become more abundant after the population has been greatly reduced.

This kind of differentiation is the weapon that is most likely to be used by external forces to deal with themselves at the moment.

By claiming that "beyond the Great Wall is still not safe", Iger can delay the trouble for a while, but after all, this issue cannot be bypassed.Hmm—maybe, it’s time to let the “pro-Seven Nations people” who have invested energy in education and training in the early stage, the personality cult that has already laid a solid foundation, and the public opinion campaign to seize the upper hand.

Playing tricks is something he is good at. With a certain idea, the general idea will be formed quickly, and then...

The Night Watchman Corps, even though it has reduced its restrictions and greatly expanded its entry barriers, is still the force with the smallest number of land grants.However, it is this least group of people that makes Iger the most afraid-through the improvement of treatment since he took office and the excellent performance in the preparations for the defense against the aliens, he has indeed suppressed opposition and doubts and managed to let the legion go up and down. All officers and soldiers respect and obey themselves.But he is very clear: this state can only exist when he is really diligently performing his duties as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and preparing to meet the common challenge.Now that the enemy has been eliminated, but the commander-in-chief himself has started to do "outrageous things", how much discipline can be maintained, it is really impossible to predict by simple rational judgment.

The Black Shirt Army, the sworn brothers... The common label, the vows made together, and the victory of fighting together bind them together. It is not easy for Iger to use those ordinary methods on these people simply and rudely; The knowledge, experience and mind of the clan and the people outside the Great Wall also make many of them highly resistant to deception, and what is even worse is: after overthrowing themselves and their own forces, the Night Watchman Legion will be empty of the commander-in-chief + a bunch of high-level officials In terms of the position -- this alone is enough for countless old-school night watchmen to respond to the northern border and plan a conspiracy against themselves.

One's own people, on the contrary, are the most motivated to turn their guns on themselves.

Fortunately, moving the headquarters of the Night Watchman from the Great Wall to Houguan Town has provided an excellent buffer and separation belt between myself and the old night watchmen. As long as you are vigilant, guard against every black-clothed brother who is not the same as the enemy , Iger may have to deal with a little trouble, but at least he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded and stabbed dozens of times suddenly.

Just as he was concentrating on planning to block all kinds of open and dark arrows and countermeasures step by step, a familiar female voice sounded next to his ear.

"Commander-in-Chief, it took me a lot of thought to persuade me to bring the group of people not to be your enemy, but you can think about it... how to arrange for your little prophet?"

……

It's Melisandre. She, Marqro, Iger and others accompanied the queen to supervise and inspect the construction of the temporary dragon nest. At this moment, Daenerys devoted herself to it and ignored all the entourage. Things have to be considered by the red-robed priests, looking extremely relaxed and happy.

The priestess just asked casually for nothing, but brought back two things that Iger had forgotten to the center of his mind: the so-called "group of people she brought" naturally refers to the people who were originally loyal to Stan Nice, but because of their fanatical belief in the Lord of Light, the group of nobles who followed Melisandre to the Great Wall to support the Night Watchman, their much higher than average ability level did help a lot in land-grant construction and war. Don't be too busy, and Iger didn't make trouble after swearing allegiance to Daenerys. I have to say... Melisandre, as a "hot friend", is really benevolent.

As for the "little prophet", it is Bran Stark who returned to the Seven Kingdoms after a trip outside the Wall.Although he has joined the Night Watchman Legion and read the oath under the witness of Iger, as a Stark and pagan who suddenly has extraordinary abilities, whether it is Iger or the two high-ranking red god priests, he has always respected him. Take precautions.

Coincidentally, after the night of the bloody battle in Long Lake, Bran suddenly fell into a continuous coma, sleeping for most of the day, waking up occasionally, and only explained that he was in a confrontation with the Night King I have consumed too much energy, and I need to take a good rest... Although it is indeed a very powerful explanation, to be honest, Iger doubts that this kind of routine of reducing the sense of existence-it does have an effect, no, I almost ignored him.

Such a guy with great powers and unclear position, but he couldn't be killed due to many considerations, what would he want to do next after solving the White Walker... Really thinking about it makes people feel a little chills behind.

"You two, can you tell if he really exhausted his energy and passed out? Do you have any suggestions?"

"It's true that you've consumed a lot of energy, but I'm wondering if it's too much to the point where you've been drowsy and resting like this." Maqiro said lightly, "Of course, there's no evidence... since it was the child who brought the Lightbringer out of the Great Wall I don’t want to speculate about him too maliciously, I’m afraid my lord will have to make up his own mind.”

Iger nodded slowly to express his understanding, and sighed: "Well, I know, I know how to arrange him."

There are so many things, how can I think about it?

However, if such a huge variable is completely taken out of consideration, when the situation occurs, the consequences can be devastating.

How can I do?Lie in bed tonight and think about it.

Just after making this decision, another soldier ran over panting to report the situation.
