The king on the Great Wall

Page 171

"Not only will you become a liar in the eyes of everyone, even the glorious Night Watchman Corps will be pulled down to the same level as the Golden Corps because of this—the world will never believe that your illegitimate son is Aegon Targaryen, Not to mention that you, the Commander of Castle Black, dare to decide to tell such a big lie alone. They must think: You are the product of my unlimited ambitions as the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch, and a puppet chosen by me. In order to achieve the goal of controlling the Seven Kingdoms!"

Iger chased after him non-stop: "If outsiders think so, that's not a big deal. If the Queen also suspects that I have ulterior motives because I plan to use her and her dragon and then kick her away to let you take over, then everything will be fine." It's all over!"

The expression on Jon's face changed slightly, but he didn't seem too surprised, just more disappointed... He is not stupid, even if he doesn't think as comprehensively as Iger, he has thought about most of it.But when he came to Iger this time, he didn't hope that he could simply analyze his own interests and bluntly dissuade him, but came to ask for help!

Iger saw Jon's unwilling expression in his eyes and understood that the matter was not over yet.

As the owner of the land grant, it is easy for him to temporarily persuade or warn Jon not to do anything, but he still has to consider Bran's factors.It's not clear whether he's telling Jon the truth through Catelyn, whether the boy part of him is motivated by emotion, or whether the Greenseer part has a different agenda.And no matter what the situation is, I have to assume that it is the latter...and prepare for it.

Guard against the Green Prophet?Heh, in the reckless "fight" in Winterfell that happened because of taking it for granted a few years ago, I tried my best to prevent the young Bran from falling from the building, but it was caused by ruining the succession plan of the previous Green Prophet. The plan made weird mistakes—this kind of dizziness and powerlessness of "you can't find the problem after eating it" is so disgusting that I don't want to think about it again... As for the later time, the defenders of the Long Night Fort Stopping Bran, Jojen and his party made them unable to pass the Great Wall to go beyond the Great Wall. Commander Mormont went to solve the matter himself, and unexpectedly died unexpectedly, which makes people afraid even thinking about it.

The Green Prophet is by no means a kind person, or in other words, such an existence with incredible experience and experience, his ethics and moral sense are completely different from ordinary people-his cruelty and unscrupulousness are definitely higher than himself.

Iger seems to want the wind and the rain in the land grant, which crushes everyone to death, because the Great Wall is a rookie in terms of scheming, and there are few players who can get on the table.But if you feel that you are invincible because of this, you are so arrogant and stupid.Facing the Green Prophet who has unparalleled life experience, the ability to see through everything, and can also manipulate people's subconscious, Iger doesn't feel that he can gain the upper hand with him.

It's not good to play dirty, but what about hard ones?The safest way to deal with threats is to eliminate them physically. Iger has tasted the sweetness of this move, and he can't help but think about this: Bran is currently "recovering" in Houguan Town. If he orders...no , sending people to go there will definitely make all kinds of inexplicable and unpredictable mistakes like when he was prevented from climbing the wall back then. The formula for success.

I don't know, if he does this by himself, does the Green Prophet have the means to fight and counter it?

Brain hole is brain hole, curiosity is curiosity, Iger finally gave up this idea.

He doesn't understand this kind of extraordinary existence, and he doesn't know whether simply killing Bran can completely obliterate a "false god" like the Green Prophet. Moreover, it is because of his status as a time traveler that he can understand the unpredictable ability and huge threat of the Green Prophet , but he couldn't explain it to most of the Old Gods' land-grant and northern dwellers.Even assuming that the Green Prophet has no way to resist the blow he has thrown out, and will not transform into other forms to continue to exist after death... There are other consequences that have to be considered.

For no reason, I rushed over and killed a child who had never committed any crimes and was as pure as a white lotus flower without even a word of explanation. A hero who fought against the aliens will definitely make countless subordinates and land-grant residents feel crazy!

How many people would be willing to follow a lunatic to do great things, no matter how capable he is?

My mind turned thousands of times in an instant, and Iger's thoughts of flying away finally returned to the original point.

As the commander-in-chief, it is easy for him to prohibit or block Jon from doing this, or even make him "disappear" quietly, but in this world, it is impossible to do whatever he wants without considering the external reaction and follow-up Impact... It's not enough to simply analyze it and tell Jon "this can't be done".I have to fool him a bit to make him realize for himself—"It's better not to do that", that's the safest way!

Iger was a little upset. He had thought before that now that he had reached this point, he would no longer have to work hard to fool this and that...but now it seems that this is not the case.

"We've finished thinking about one issue, let's change to another one." I'm not happy, I'm still familiar with copying my old skills, and Iger quickly sorted out his lines, "Next, let's assume that everyone believes that you are the real Aegon. Targaryen, son of Rhaegar, what happens then—do you want to be king, Jon?"

"What? No...don't want to!" Jon didn't react for a while, then he showed panic, shook his head again and again, and said incoherently, "I haven't thought about it at all! I just think that she is my last in the world." If a family member does not recognize each other now, will she be considered as someone who covets power and wealth and fabricates stories to cling to..."

"Okay, you don't want to be king." This answer did not surprise Iger at all, he continued to ask without listening to nonsense, "Then answer this question again: Do you know that I—Aegon Targaryen's line of succession , before Daenerys Targaryen?"

"I'm a night watchman, where did I get the right of inheritance!"

Iger nodded: "That's true. Then, as a night watchman—after recognizing the Queen, do you plan to stay on the Great Wall, abide by the oath you made when you put on black clothes, and live and die here?"

"Uh... If our expedition successfully finds and eliminates the aliens, it should be regarded as the completion of the mission, right?" Jon hesitated, he might not even believe it himself, "the wildlings no longer exist, the aliens no longer exist. The ghost won't be able to make a comeback in the short term, so I think—going south with your lord to repay the queen's help is also fulfilling the duty of the night watchman. And in this way, by the way, can you also...protect her at close range?"

"The idea is very good, but unfortunately, I have to pour cold water on you again: whether you want to be king or not, whether you are a night watchman, can't change the fact that 'Aegon's inheritance is above Daenerys' " A smile appeared on Iger's face, and he curled his lips: "You are a good boy with integrity and empathy, but your aunt, Daenerys Targaryen, has not been concealed by Ed Stark since she was a child. Her background is hidden in a safe castle. Her identity and whereabouts have been kept in a semi-public state since she was a child. The advantage of this is that when she finally grows up and has the ability to come back for revenge, no one can question the authenticity of her identity. And the shortcomings are equally obvious: the dangers and tribulations she has experienced are many times more direct than the bullying and humiliation you endured as an illegitimate child! Your aunt who walked out of blood and fire spent her entire childhood in flight, fear, and betrayal She survived deceit, but she survived and became the Dragon Queen!"

"She is a powerful and proud queen, not a delicate princess who needs the protection of knights, and she is not as warm and friendly as you imagine, and longs for family affection!" Iger emphasized this point seriously, "After hearing about your existence , she may be happy for a moment, but she will soon think of your threat to the legitimacy of his rule—and the "threat" is not about whether you want to, but whether you can! As long as you Aegon· Targaryen exists, no matter how much you love your last relative, how much you have no desire for power, every moment you are alive, every second you are still breathing, is a great threat to her status and identity , are destroying the stability of the kingdom she desires to build!"

This threat can be dissipated by combining the two, but Iger will not say this plan, and since Jon is a night watchman who has sworn not to marry a wife or have children, this kind of concealment does not seem to be evil.

"Even if she doesn't hurt you because she also cherishes you as a relative, but you want to be with her—every minute and every second you spend the rest of your life, suspicious and wary of each other..." Iger threw out the last A killer weapon, and then offered a suggestion for a solution, "Or—bury this secret in my heart, stay at the Great Wall and look after the northernmost tip of the kingdom for her, and spend my whole life silently guarding her, the last one of you in the world. loved ones?"

Chapter 478 The situation changes suddenly

Obviously he is the leader of a party with a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he said romantic lines in his mouth, "I will protect her silently for the rest of my life", as soon as I uttered such chicken soup words, Iger suddenly felt that everything he had eaten at noon was churning in his stomach.

Although I even feel disgusted by myself, the funny thing is: the more bloody, nasty and idealized something is, the more it is for an honest person like Jon who has never seen the world... no, an upright and selfless gentleman. efficient.After listening to Iger's comprehensive analysis from two angles, Jon sat there without saying a word for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and nodded, determined to start to be a tragic watcher.

Iger put the trouble down—for now.But it is conceivable that if the Green Prophet really has other plans for this move, he will inevitably try to make Jon change his mind through constant hints at the subconscious level, or simply use the power of the people around him: via Caitlin Star Grace's mouth, spread the news from the side, and continue to interfere!

This matter is not over yet, but how to solve it in the end, Iger has no idea for the time being—just in case, he added a last sentence before Jon left, telling him, "If you change your mind, come to yourself again, let yourself Come and present him to the Queen."

After seeing off Commander Black Castle, Iger let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in the chair, only to find that his back was slightly wet with sweat—he originally thought that he only needed to persuade Jon to follow the arrangement and pay for this "expedition" Served as the vanguard in the middle, but suddenly ran into such a big moth.Unprepared and impromptu flickering is really no small test for an old Jianghu like him.

Putting away the documents spread out on the table and stacking them aside, Iger planned to relax.He stood up, pushed open the door, and waved his hands under the watchful eyes of the guards to indicate that he didn't intend to go anywhere. Then he stood on the balcony on the second floor of the office building, leaning on the railing to blow the cold wind. Organize your thoughts.

He had thought about going to two red-robed priests for consultation before, but when he got outside and his mind cooled down, he changed his mind.

As high-ranking priests of the Red Temple, Melisandre and Marquis are quite reliable spellcasters and believers in battle and in daily life... But they fanatically believe in a dualist worldview, and " Seeing the message from the flame and then interpreting it by yourself, and firmly believing in the interpretation result” work habits are doomed for them not to be reliable accomplices and trustworthy advisors. This is not only a personal judgment, but it can be seen in the original plot.

If I ran over to ask these two guys now: "I think this Green Prophet is playing tricks, what should I do?" The two magic sticks probably wouldn't think about it for a while, and they would directly suggest that they eradicate heresy and convert to the King of Light. Faith to be free from evil spirits.

First of all, this is Bran Stark after all.

Whether it's himself or the Greenseer, or both, who controls his actions now, doesn't change the fact that he's a Stark unless he's determined to get rid of him and prepared for the consequences , otherwise you must not act rashly.

In addition, even if you don't think about it and think about it, whether the two red-robed priests can deal with the green prophet is still a big question mark.

I can't explain why, but Iger has a vague intuition based on his own experience and experiences: Melisandre and Marquis are just people who know magic, but the Green Prophet has truly surpassed ordinary people Level... If ordinary people are 1, then the Red God priests are at most 1.5, while the Green Prophet starts at 2. Bran is half a level higher than the two red priests in terms of basic level!Can the two-to-one quantitative advantage smooth out this level gap?

In the end, although I don't believe it, Iger can't rule out this possibility: Maybe things are not so complicated. Bran and Caitlin really just hope that Jon can live clearly before telling him the truth, but I... have a dark heart, Everything seems to have an ulterior motive.

How about going straight to Bran and having an honest talk with him?

The problem is, this matter is different from discussing how to deal with the White Walkers. Even if Bran said "Yes, you are thinking too much", would he believe it?

I'm afraid not.

With a wry smile, Iger realized that he had fallen into the trap of suspicion: even if the person he doubted expressed no malice, or even really harmless, he couldn't rest assured.

This is probably the helplessness of the superior.

While expressing emotion, an orderly suddenly ran up from the stairs panting, and began to report the situation before standing still: "My lord commander! The Unsullied troops that landed at Donghai Watch have arrived outside the town of Houguan. , the guards have temporarily closed the gate, waiting for your instructions!"

……

"Oh? So fast!"

Iger was a little surprised. He had indeed received the report from East China Sea Watch about the landing of the Unsullied last night, but he didn't expect to see people today... In terms of time, this army almost only rested for one night. Immediately rushed here non-stop, marching faster than the best troops under his command, it is indeed an elite that can make any land army in the world of ice and fire change color.

"Since you're here, call the Venerable Master and follow me to meet you."

Iger's mood improved a little. Now that everything is in a mess, it's not all news that makes people feel uncomfortable.

In order to ensure the safety of Daenerys and the wounded dragon, and at the same time to ensure that no cat or dog can go to the queen to talk nonsense, the defenders he left in Last Hearth City are his most trusted night watchman industrial guards-these have been trained Military training also has a little understanding of the art of war, most of them can read and write, and can be used as a soldier or as a middle-level and low-level officer... The essence of the strength that is enough to support the framework of the entire land-grant army, but now half of it is restrained in this field. On single-person escort missions, overkill is useless.

However, no matter whether it is the mountain clan, the new land-grant people, or the night watchmen in the land-grant, there is no way for them to take on this simple but careless task.

Of course, a small group of Unsullied will not bring a decisive increase in the strength of the Land Grant Army in the Southern Expedition, but it can take over the important but wasted work of protecting the Queen, and free hundreds of Industrial Guard soldiers , so that the available manpower in Iger's hand is much more generous.

With a good mood to receive reinforcements, Iger rushed to the north wall of Houguan Town with his guards after a while, and ordered the guards to open the gate and welcome them out.

Even after waiting for a while, the Unsullied still formed a perfect phalanx on the field outside Houguan Town, which made it easier for outsiders to count their numbers: Iger counted at least 400 people.Knowing that the weather in the north is cold, they changed into thicker winter combat clothing when they set off from the south, but they still underestimated the temperature on the Great Wall. After landing in East Sea Watch, they had to borrow the night watchman's coat from Carter Pike, At this moment, everyone was wearing black robes. If it weren't for the conspicuous difference of the helmets, at first glance they would have thought they were an elite night watchman who appeared out of nowhere.

Iger saw the petite figure standing in front of the Unsullied Army at a glance. A little girl, there is no other possibility to appear in front of the Unsullied Army except the Queen's personal attendant and most trusted follower, Missandei. .Naturally, Daenerys could not bring her entourage with her when she rode a dragon to the north. Although Iger managed to pick two reliable women from among the female workers in the industry to take care of her daily life, she would not be able to use her own people. This is He suggested that the queen must summon someone—no one.

After walking a few steps closer, he saw the man next to Missandei wearing a thermal hood who was "one size wider" than anyone else, obviously he couldn't be an officer of the Unsullied.

Although it's hard to see if it's bald, but the fat man... How many under Daenerys's subordinates?The commander-in-chief of the night watchman, who was relaxed a moment ago, suddenly froze on his face...

An eunuch is bad enough, but when Iger turned his eyes to the one standing between Missandei and the fat man in the hood—not only the position, but also the height and shape were in between, so the unremarkable man found this When he was actually someone he knew, he really had to do his best to keep his emotions from showing on his face.

Varys and Littlefinger, the biggest pair of shit-stirring sticks in the entire world of ice and fire, and in the plot of Game of Thrones, actually "joined hands" to come to the land?Such a big matter, why didn't that idiot Carter Parker clearly write it down in yesterday's letter?

After the fire raged for half a second, and after roaring a few words in his heart, Iger realized that he had taken it for granted.Commander Donghaiwatch is neither a traveler who is familiar with the plot, nor has he ever left the Great Wall after putting on black clothes. It is normal that he does not know these two guys at all, or he has heard of them but does not know them at all.Expecting this thick line to be sensitive enough to realize the abnormality and remind myself of this in the letter is simply to blame the rooster for not laying eggs.

And now, no matter how shocked and distraught he may be, he has to face the visitor.

"Master Iger, I'm very glad to see you again." Missandei re-examined him curiously with her big, bright, black and white eyes, and said in a clear and high-pitched voice first: "We all heard that you News of His Majesty's oath of fealty, a wise and far-sighted decision - welcome to the Queen's court."

Iger smiled sincerely without changing his face, and nodded to the little document: "Houguan Town also welcomes everyone, Miss Missandei, Varys and Lord Petyr, please bring the Unsullied into the city. I have already prepared camps, food, wine and meat to comfort everyone for their hard work from afar."

"Thank you for your hospitality and generosity, Lord Commander." Petyr Baelish replied with a smile no less friendly than his own. "But today, I'm afraid we will have to refuse your offer."

"Every time we delay, we will arrive at the Queen's side later, and she will have to spend a day or a night surrounded by a group of strangers, so she will bear a little more risk of accidents." Missandei He didn't make a fool of himself, and quickly explained, "So, we will continue on our way immediately and not enter the city."

"My lord, please send a guide who knows the way and is reliable, and take us to Last Hearth." Varys also shrugged, unwilling to be silent, interjected, "As far as I know, the castle of the Amber family has no It happened to be built next to the King's Road, and if you want to find it by feeling and a map in this icy world, you have to take a lot of detours."

Iger can prevent Bolton's informers from meeting the queen, but it is impossible to prevent the group of "old employees" who were originally subordinates of the former from returning to the boss.As a newcomer, not only did he have no excuses to refuse reasonable help, he even had to be active and efficient under the watchful eyes of most of the queen, so as not to leave excuses for his future colleagues .

After some formal attempts to keep him to no avail, Iger directly selected a young man who was familiar with the southward route from one of the guards who went out of the city with him, and ordered him to join the opposite team and lead the guests to the queen's temporary residence.

The Unsullied switched back to the marching mode from the resting state with admirable efficiency and neatness, accompanied by a carriage equipped with a guide and three team leaders, under the light snow, bypassing Houguan Town and continuing to march south, just like when they came quickly disappeared from view.

The two shit sticks went away, taking away the almost faint smell of shit...but Iger didn't feel happy at all.

It is a relief that the evil star leaves and there is no need to stay with the fearful and disgusting people, but Iger is more aware of the reason why they are so eager to rush to the Last Hearth City: for the ministers, the worst Something is too far away from the monarch, gradually losing its sense of existence and influence.Daenerys, who rode a dragon and came to participate in the battle between humans and ghosts, was completely out of touch with her imperial front. During this period of time, she was completely under the control of Iger, and what she could hear, see, and even think was all controlled by the queen. The latter decided——the eunuch and Littlefinger came to give the land in person, and they were in such a hurry, not for anything else, but to take back the influence and control over the Queen from the hands of this new entrant!

After enjoying the refreshment of being able to "fool Daenerys Targaryen alone" for a while, the comfortable days are finally over.What's worse, at the most critical moment when Houguan Town is about to complete both physical and public opinion preparations, he can't leave here at all, and go to Last Hearth City to "compete for favor" with those two bastards.

This means that what he has to face now is not only two shit sticks getting in between himself and the queen, but two shit sticks holding the queen away!And I... can only watch the situation develop helplessly in Houguan Town, a hundred miles away!

What kind of loyal minister can't stand the opponent's slander, not to mention that he is not a loyal minister at all?It is conceivable that if I let the queen wait a few more days, she will join Varys and Petyr, and under the insinuations and various hints of the former, she will start to make plans for her southern expedition, the plan of the Great King's Land and even the plan to escape. The determination to wear black clothes and her loyalty to herself all began to have doubts!What's more, once these two dung sticks also learn about Jon's true life experience, or "understand" the attitude and plan of the North from Old Skinner...

Damn it, the situation that was originally under control, with the occurrence of two accidents and the arrival of two troublesome characters, suddenly has a tendency to get out of control!

No, I can't wait any longer, I have to start acting as soon as possible, and use facts to eliminate possible troubles and suspicions!

With a sense of tension that he hadn't experienced for several days, Iger led the people back to Houguan Town quickly, intending to make targeted adjustments to the plan and force the southern expedition ahead of schedule. At this time, the departed Queen Yuqian and his party stayed At the same place... a night watchman of East Sea Watch who was in charge of bringing the Unsullied to Houguan Town called out loudly: "My lord, please wait a moment!"

The soldier who yelled was a rather handsome tall young man. He trotted over and was stopped by Iger's guards only a few meters away: "In the Lower East Sea Watch, Chief Ranger Ian Immet, under the command of Commander Carter Pike According to the instructions of the adults, come to report some special situations to you face to face!"

Chapter 479 Plans and Changes

The world is impermanent.

The Unsullied reinforcements who arrived in time changed from surprise to shock in the blink of an eye. Instead, the guide of Donghaiwatch who came along with him and who he completely ignored during the brief meeting brought good news: the pile stationed at the easternmost end of the Great Wall "Brother Night Watchman", the threat that he went to the death to guard against... somehow suddenly became one of his own!

After listening to Iron Immet's mysterious and self-righteous "whistleblower", Iger's mind was a little confused, and for a moment he couldn't figure out that Carter Parker, who he had dealt with before, should be offended to death ——Did he become a loyal subordinate after going through an extraordinary mental journey, or was he playing tricks—pretending to be loyal and paralyzing his vigilance, so that he stabbed himself in the back in the end?

But the answer to this question is not critical, because no matter what the situation is, Iger does not intend to change the original plan.

He would still order Carter Pike: take all his cronies who still have the strength to perform patrol duties, bring supplies a few days before the "expedition" begins, and go out to "find the way."

If Carter has no conspiracy, then treat this operation as an ordinary training exercise, and if it is the other way around... No matter what exquisite rebellion plan Donghaiwatch and the people in the northern border have discussed, it will be destroyed by the nearly 200-meter-high Great Wall and the Great Wall. A force that took over Eastwatch Fort was crushed to pieces.

The real situation of the meeting in Winterfell City, Iger has already cross-checked and confirmed his guesses through all kinds of intelligence, regardless of whether Carter Pike participated in the conspiracy hosted by the Stark family or not, and where he stood On the one hand, the final result will not change in the slightest: no matter how the spies in the northern border run, link up, plan and organize to deal with their own united front, and finally decide to revolt when he leads the army out of the fortress, he will be in a situation far earlier than them. The plan, including the subordinates, suddenly went south instead of north at a time that no one expected, and went through a textbook-like rapid march-thousands of miles into the hinterland of the North, before the Stark family reacted. The princes in the north reacted and began to gather the army before they made a final decision.

Iger is not at all afraid that Carter Pike will be his enemy, but the other party uncharacteristically chooses to stand on his side... Although it is not a bad thing, it actually increases the probability of the situation changing: Unreliable teammates are often more terrifying than enemies—— I used public opinion to light a fire and incite hatred to pave the way for war. So far, this fire is still under control, and all the enemies on it are the enemies I have selected on my list.However, once new entrants such as Carter Pike suddenly change their attitudes, in order to express their positions and show their loyalty, they arrest the northern spies without thinking, or expose the news that they are looking for allies to conspire to overthrow themselves, then It is tantamount to throwing the Stark family into the fire.

My own selfishness of "not wanting the storm to sweep over my friends" was nothing. The flame of hatred completely got out of control after the new "fuel" was injected, leading to the inevitable possibility of an all-out war with the northern border, and finally burned on myself. Worst consequences.

All kinds of considerations put Iger in a very funny situation: Although he was the target of the conspiracy, he not only had to pretend that he didn't know anything when he got informers one after another, but he even had to do it for Robb Stark. A plot full of loopholes and poor secrecy - to hide the plans of his opponents!

***

"You guys did a good job." Iger suppressed the urge to smile wryly, praised with a serious face and no hesitation, and gave a familiar answer again: "Go back and tell Mr. Parker that I have received the news here. I will start to think about it and thank him for his timely notification. But before the final decision is made, I ask him to strictly keep it secret and never disclose it. This matter is extremely important and must be conveyed and ensured.”

"Understood!" The young ranger nodded, and after a second of pause, he changed the topic to another topic, "One more thing, my lord. I heard that the Dragon Queen left King's Landing and the Iron Throne at her fingertips, and came to the Great Wall to rescue her. I was deeply moved by the deeds at the scene, and determined to repay her selflessness. I wonder if you can give me a chance, Commander-in-Chief, so that I can also... do something for Her Majesty in the war to regain the Iron Throne?"

Yesterday, Ian was still persuading Carter Pike to overthrow Iger as the commander-in-chief, but after reading an order from this man to the Commander of East Sea Watch, and now coming to Houguan Town to hear and see it in person, he suddenly realized: The chief ranger of Donghaiwang, the commander of the fortress... These things that I have worked so hard to win or are still pursuing are nothing but bullshit in front of the real ambition—no, shit is worse!You will have a better future if you hang out with this person in front of you!

He wants to change his family and jump out of the land grant with Iger!

Iger raised his eyelids and glanced at the speaker, and immediately understood the situation.

A defector.

Like Ian Emmett, there are not a few restless elements in the Night Watch Legion who are unwilling to live and die like himself and want to take off their black clothes to change their fate. All Iger needs to do is to identify them and choose Among them, the outstanding and capable people are recruited and cultivated to strengthen their own strength.

Due to the close distance and the fact that Iger served here, the qualified characters in Castle Black have already been absorbed into his team, but those in the Shadow Tower and Eastwatch are not familiar with each other and have little contact with Iger because of the distance. For many reasons, there are still many who failed to get on the bus.

Among them, the former group of unlucky ones had already lost their chance forever with their deaths on the battlefield, while the latter still had time to catch the last train—the one standing in front of Iger is obviously one of them with a more active mind.

In all fairness, the archery skills in front of me are amazing, there are two ghosts in the kill record, he is more worthy of the title of "White Ghost Killer" than himself, and it is said that the swordsmanship is also quite good... Even with this hard skill There is nothing in his mind, as long as he can prove his position, Iger is also willing to recruit him as a personal bodyguard.But right now, at this extremely sensitive time point, he really doesn't have the energy and energy to examine the reliability of the other party, or risk trusting him.

After a little deliberation, he made a decision.

"There are many opportunities, and they will always be reserved for those who are capable and prepared." Iger stared meaningfully into the eyes of the chief ranger of Donghaiwang, expressing with his expression and tone that he did not ignore the other party's self-recommendation and application: " But right now, defeating the Stark family's conspiracy and the expedition beyond the Wall to eliminate the remaining White Walkers is the most important task. I will personally ensure that there are no mistakes in the former task, and in the latter one, I need a wise and brave night watchman like you It's time to execute...Since the situation has changed, the plan will naturally have to be adjusted. I decided to advance the expedition from next month to a week later, bring this news back to Eastwatch, and assist your commander in keeping the secret and successfully completing the expedition Patrol outside the Great Wall. After everything is over, come back to me after returning to the south of the Great Wall safely, and I assure you, there will be a suitable position still vacant."

The bigger the boat, the harder it is to turn around.Although the plan is well established, no amount of psychological preparation can reverse the laws of reality. The land-grant is certainly not a giant, but it still needs a process to switch its entire status from "strategic defense" to "attack at any time" and time.Iger's publicly announced plan is to "officially start the expedition one month later, and the three-way vanguard will have to set off one day in advance to find the way and provide guidance for the follow-up large force"-but the fact is that the so-called follow-up large force will not follow up at all. Plan your actions.

After he exiles the possible threat elements outside the Great Wall, he will mobilize the army the next day, and divide a small part of them to occupy and control the three major passages in and out of the Great Wall, Castle Black, Eastwatch, and New Shadow Tower, and strangle the three "pioneers" "The way home, and the remaining elite main force launched the Southern Expedition with lightning speed.

The plan is very clear, but what Iger didn’t disclose even to my most confidant subordinate, is that even this public plan that has already done enough to build momentum and strategic deception still has some untrue parts.

Iger will issue another order when half of this "one month" deadline has elapsed—that is, with two weeks left, announcing a change in plan and an early start of the expedition to disrupt any conspiracy that may threaten him.

One month is the time to make sufficient preparations, while two weeks can only ensure that there are no major omissions... Compared with the benefits obtained by surprise, this defect is obviously within the acceptable range.

But now, with Varys and Littlefinger both coming to the north to disrupt the situation, Iger had to grit his teeth and cut off the time limit that had been shortened by half.

The bad impact of insufficient preparation will inevitably bring troubles during the southern expedition, but Iger believes: this is definitely less risky than letting Daenerys wait an extra week under the ears of the eunuch and Littlefinger!
