The king on the Great Wall

Robb had seen very few night watchmen, so he asked rather freshly, "Who is Grant?"

"A ranger brother, and I'm on good terms... But why did he come here?"

The comer was riding a pony that looked like it was not for military use, and it was probably captured by a wild man, but the speed was not slow.He greeted everyone within a few minutes of appearing, and soon recognized his friend: "Jon!" Looking back, he was surprised: "Master Iger!"

"Long time no see, Grenn. This is the Guardian of the North, Lord Robb Stark." Egger briefly introduced the identity of the person beside him to Grenn, and quickly asked, "What happened to Castle Black? What are you doing here?"

"Castle Black——" Glenn thought he would have to drive until midnight to reach Houguan Town, but he didn't expect to meet the person he was looking for after riding less than ten miles.When the surprise faded away, he looked at Robb with some unease—the legendary half-brother of Jon, a man who was about his own age but had inherited the entire northern border, and he didn't know whether he should say it in front of him.After thinking about it, he took out a folded paper from the black clothes and handed it to Iger. "Sam he... let me bring this to you."

Iger took the note suspiciously and opened it.

Sam's handwriting is familiar and clear, and the content above is also very simple and clear. I can understand every word and all the information above, but I have no idea what Sam is writing these things for me to see at this time.

This is definitely not a guessing game. If I don't understand the meaning, I must be missing some key information.An ominous premonition came to his mind, Iger apologized to Robb, took Grant to the side of the road a few meters away, and asked him about the specific situation.

"Ser Mallister and Lord Cotter Pyke withdrew from the election in favor of Lord Yoon Royce, who had won over five hundred by the time I smuggled the old horse out of Castle Black tickets!"

"what?!"

……

A second later, Iger understood the purpose of the note Sam wrote to himself; ten seconds later, he decided what to do; half a minute later, he walked back to his distinguished guest and apologized to him : "Master Stark, I'm really sorry, there is an emergency at Castle Black, please forgive me for not being able to accompany me any longer, let's go first!"

"Master, master, I will go with you!"

"Do you dare?" Robb glared at Arya, then turned his head and nodded to Iger: "Okay, if you have something urgent, go there first, you can almost see the Great Wall from here, and the road is so wide, you can't miss it. "

***

It's great that the road is so wide. Iger rode on the northernmost section of the King's Road that he ordered to renovate, thankful for his original decision.

The renovation of the King's Road was done from north to south from Castle Black, which shortened the time it took him to travel from Crown Town to Castle Black by at least two hours... and now what he expects is that these two hours are enough for him Save the situation.

……

At the expense of horsepower, Iger completed the last few miles in a short while, and appeared in the sight of the guards at the gate of Castle Black.

"Master Iger is back!"

The door swung open.

Even if the position was obtained by tricks at the beginning, there are not many night watchman brothers in the logistics department, and the influence and prestige are far less than those of the other chiefs... But at least Iger is "ranked among the top night watchmen" No one objected to his identity, not even his opponents questioned this fact.

He didn't encounter obstacles, and rode smoothly into the Castle Black yard that hadn't changed at all in the past two months.He turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to his subordinates, took off his windproof coat and threw it on the saddle, a series of actions were completed in one go.Iger, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard, turned his head and looked around, and ordered loudly: "Go to each tower and shout, let all the brothers who are not on duty come to the hall, I have something to say!"

After finishing speaking, he took off his gloves, straightened his collar and rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the election site.

He is already proficient at fooling people, but this time the matter cannot be solved by relying on fooling.This time, what he has to do - is to tear, slap in the face, and scold people; it is to give it a go, success or failure depends on it.

Chapter 281

The chief logistics officer who had been away for two months suddenly came back, and when he arrived, he took off his clothes and rolled up his sleeves, looking aggressive and about to fight, and ordered the brothers to come and watch!The news quickly spread among the towers and under the eaves of Castle Black. Countless night watchmen who had already voted, hadn’t voted or were about to vote, walked out of their houses and gathered towards the hall and election field.

Time was running out, and Iger didn't deliberately wait for the audience to arrive, and walked straight to the "battlefield" with his own people.The news of his arrival was half a step ahead of others, and after half a day of buffering, the cellar that had gradually become quiet was alive again: talking, cursing, and laughing mixed with knocking on the table and stomping feet converged into a welcome symphony.

Iger walked into the cellar and was first seen by Pyp, who was watching the door carefully, put two fingers in his mouth and whistled - a trick he had learned in the troupe since he was a child.The scream cut through the noise like a sharp sword, and the hundreds of brothers still in the hall fell silent. The silence spread quickly like the chill that poured into the room, until finally, only the sound of Iger's footsteps walking down the stairs, breathing The sound and the slight crackling of wood in the stove.

Everyone held their breath, watching the upcoming conflict between big boss and big boss.

……

"Master Chief Logistics Officer, you are back." Even though he knew that the visitor was not friendly, Sir Mallister still greeted him with a smile, politeness and politeness had become his instinct: "Your trip to the North has really done a lot. thing."

"The logistics department is hindered in fulfilling its duties. I naturally have to come forward to solve it. The call of duty is nothing more to mention." Iger understands that if he continues to follow the old guy's eccentric words, the other party will accuse him of interfering in the North and the Iron Islands. war.He can't take the move, but has to preemptively: "I'm so busy, but what the hell are you doing, I left for two months and haven't elected a commander-in-chief, and in the end they quit one after another, supporting one to join the vigil A recruit with no more than one year?"

Carter Pike was not as polite as Sir Mallister. He snorted coldly and stared at Iger fiercely with his small eyes: "Who we want to support is our own business, and you have nothing to do with it."

"I don't care? What you are choosing is the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch Legion, the future leader of me and all the brothers in black, who will lead the Seven Kingdoms' strong shield against the natural enemies of mankind. It is a matter of life and death for everyone. How can I say that? I can't control it?!" Iger said word by word, slowly walked past countless long tables, and stopped until the front row, and raised his finger to John Royce at a distance of two meters: "After two months of tossing, you finally launched such a guy? What qualifications does he have to run for the commander-in-chief of the night watchman?"

***

After transmigrating into this world, no matter when, where, and whoever he is, Iger will try to be friendly—in addition to the simple reasons of "harmony makes money" and "multiple friends and multiple paths", the more important reason is : He almost made his fortune by fooling around or "persuading" all the way.But if you want to get support and help from others through your mouth, you first need to ask them to stop, listen and think about what you have to say, which is obviously not possible without being polite.

But Yon Royce...he "killed" one of his sons himself first, and then offered a plan to trap him to the Great Wall in order to show his face in front of King Robert in the Valley Counter-Rebellion War.The other party came to Castle Black with Carter Pike on this trip, just to snipe him and make trouble for him.It's just that I avoided his sharp edge, hid before the opponent attacked, and came back suddenly when he was most caught off guard.

Since the two parties were destined not to be friends, Iger simply showed no mercy.

He wanted to strike first, and a round of rushing attacks made him powerless to fight back.

***

Clay figurines would get angry if someone pointed their fingers at them and said "no qualifications", not to mention the old Royce who already regarded Iger as an enemy?He stopped talking to the soldiers in front of him to solicit votes, stood up with clenched fists, and met Iger's eyes.

Emotionally, Jon Royce wanted to punch the scumbag in the face and interrupt his blah blah blah.But rationality prevented him from doing so. In the hall of Castle Black, attacking high-ranking officers and doubters in full view would make the situation out of control—after all, the Night Watchman Legion is a military organization, and in terms of discipline The requirements are stricter than anywhere else in Westeros: quarrel, fight all you want, but whoever strikes first loses.

Jon Royce was tall, but he was old after all. Standing in front of Iger, he looked a little shorter than him when he straightened up, which frustrated the old man's plan to regain his momentum.

"I'm not qualified? Then what qualifications do you have—to say that others are not qualified?"

"You have to be able to cook to judge a chef's craftsmanship? I didn't participate in the election, I just questioned your ability, what qualifications do you need? However, since you asked this question, I am happy to talk about my qualifications!" Easy to use, this tit-for-tat has been carried out according to Iger's script from the beginning.But he can't take it lightly, the opponent has already won more than half of the votes, and he must win a big victory to prevent him from becoming the commander-in-chief: "Since I became the chief logistics officer of the Night Watch, I have brought more than one hundred people to the Legion. The recruits provided more than [-] gold dragons in cash, food worth thousands of gold dragons, and no less than [-] catties of various meats, enough to fill this hall with dragon crystal weapons!"

"Currently one-tenth of the members of the Night Watchman Legion are brought by me personally or sent someone to the Great Wall; in the past two years, every brother in the Legion has been able to eat at least one meal a week, and I paid for it with meat oil. Even the soldiers at the lowest level now have more than one set of clothes and shoes and socks, as well as warm coats, thick bedding, gloves, boots... These things, if you open the inner lining, there are all Embroidered with the logo of the Night Watchman’s Logistics Department, not to mention the wildfires I dragged from King’s Landing and Crown Town and hoarded in every fort—my contribution to the Night Watchman Corps is my qualification!” Iger stared at With Royce's face, he roared loudly without leaving any room for counterattack: "Compared with the support of the northern border and the land-grant people for thousands of years, what I provide is only a small contribution that is insignificant, and there is nothing to brag about." But for all of what I did, the legion did not provide a manpower, half a copper plate, and everything was done by me alone. I am the logistics department of the night watchman, and the logistics department of the night watchman is me! The brother of the night watchman who is still alive Among them, I am the most qualified one!"

……

The note that Sam gave Iger was a list, which listed in detail all the supplies Iger provided to the legion after leaving the Great Wall for King's Landing, including every golden dragon, every pound of food and meat, every piece of clothing and weapons, It is to remind Iger: Use these irrefutable realistic contributions to block everyone's mouths.

If you count the elite from the West who accompanied James to the Great Wall, Iger did bring more than a hundred recruits to the Great Wall.Except for the exaggeration of this point, all the following data are genuine, only a little more.

Jon Royce originally planned to win the position of commander-in-chief in one go today, so as to remain invincible and wait for work with ease, thinking about how to fix it.Although the best chance of winning the election quickly was ruined by Sam's public dismantling in the morning, by the time Iger walked into the cellar door, there were still [-] votes to determine the winner, and nearly [-] of them had been voted for him... According to this trend, as long as the remaining [-] votes are not cast to others, even if a part is abstained, he will be elected as the commander-in-chief of the night watchman when the election ends after dark.

Royce did not expect that Iger would return to Castle Black today, let alone make the slightest preparation to debate and quarrel with him, but the latter came prepared and targeted him specifically. How could he resist in a hurry? live?He didn't know the authenticity of these data, he was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the chief affairs officer in charge of the warehouse of Castle Black and the commander of Eastwatch, Carter Parker, seeing that the two were silent, he understood that it was probably true, and fell silent After thinking about countermeasures for a moment, he spoke again after a while.

"No one can deny your contribution to the Night Watchman, but as the chief logistics officer, logistics work is your duty. While you are comfortably providing logistical support for the brothers in the rear, we are fighting hard on the front line. Every The brothers who risked their lives to defend the Great Wall, their contributions are no less than yours!"

"The contribution of the front-line brothers is not inferior to logistics, and I don't refute this point of view." Iger shrugged: "But...you? I would like to ask, Mr. Royce, as a member of the Rangers, how many times have you participated in patrols outside the wall? , How many wildling raiders, how many white ghosts have you killed? I have participated in nearly [-] out-of-the-wall patrols, and killed a white ghost——brothers who have patrolled more times than me have caught a lot of them. But anyone who has killed more White Walkers for the Night's Watch, I'm sorry, as far as I know none, what do you have to say about that, my lord?"

……

(Iger used to be a Ranger too!)

Jon Royce was annoyed, he was so dazed by a storm of verbal attacks that he forgot about it.

When he "failed the rebellion" and was sent to the Great Wall by King Robert, the Night Watchman had already stopped his routine northward patrol, so how could he have a chance to earn his qualifications?As for the White Ghost, how could such a wise magical creature wait for someone to kill it like a wild animal?In addition to the one that Iger killed, in the subsequent large-scale outreach operations of the night watchmen, there was only one time when the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and killed the second one by ambush.

After that, the White Walkers rarely even showed their faces.

Strictly speaking, there are only two people who are alive and have killed this ghost thing in the world today, and there are zero people who have killed more than Iger.

Iger's contribution to the Night's Watch is enormous, and no one can deny that.After leaving Castle Black to avoid the limelight for two months, most of the brothers' resentment towards Commander Mormont's killing has gradually subsided. At this time, they came back to talk about "contributions". good.

……

(Iger's sudden return caught everyone by surprise. This debate about contribution, not to mention Royce, can't be won by anyone.) Sir Mallister quickly realized this, seeing Castle Black who heard the news The night watchmen filed in from the door, and they all came to watch this good show. He stood up and said: "Master Royce has not joined the night watchman for a long time, and he has not yet accumulated combat achievements, but give him a chance to show his ability. , he will be able to prove himself to be a competent commander-in-chief."

Normally, when it comes to this matter, people with a little sense and self-control...will choose to go down the steps and end the quarrel.But Iger didn't intend to stop. This was an invincible struggle. It was life and death. A person who hated and hated himself must not be allowed to become the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch. He had no way out.

"Will it prove?" Iger looked away, turned back to Sir Dennis Mallister, and sneered: "Interesting, I am very curious, what great achievements did our Lord Jon Royce have, What makes you so confident in him? 'Bronze Jon' is indeed famous in the valley and the south, but how much of this nickname is out of respect for the second largest family in the valley, and how much is for Lord Royce himself Praise for ability and skill?"

Sir Mallister said calmly, "This title is an affirmation of Lord Royce's loyalty and tenacity, as well as his martial arts skills."

"Loyalty and tenacity? Even so, but to put it bluntly, I know many people from the north. In this icy and snowy place, the most indispensable thing is loyalty and tenacity. As for martial arts... heh , I have heard that the Royce family has a set of ancestral bronze armor with a history of thousands of years, and it is engraved with magic spells to protect the wearer from harm." Iger turned back unceremoniously and continued to stare at Royce, while As he spoke, he walked to the rostrum in front and turned to face more and more black-clothed brothers in the hall, so that everyone could hear him: "I can't help but suspect—the so-called 'Bronze Jon', maybe It just means that he has such a set of bronze armor!"

Jon Royce's face was already flushed red, and the veins on his neck were bulging, making one unable to help but suspect that he was about to have a heart attack in the next moment.It's a pity that he is not Iger's opponent at all in terms of eloquence, and he struggled for a long time on how to fight back. In the end, Sir Mallister stood up and criticized the speaker: "Master Iger, it is really useless to make fun of other people's nicknames and speculations." Extremely polite!"

"I apologize!" Iger admitted his mistake without hesitation, making the other party a little astonished, but he continued to chase without stopping for a second: "But such an ordinary lord who inherited Runestone City as the eldest son, even relying on the Blood Gate He was exiled to the Great Wall and brought the second largest family in the Valley to decline. It is really difficult for me to have confidence in his ability. What do I believe? He will be able to prove that he is a qualified man. Commander-in-Chief's nonsense!"

……

"What's more!" He didn't give Sir Mallister a chance to dismantle his move, but turned to the hundreds of brothers in the hall, and asked loudly, "Facing a huge crisis that has never been seen in thousands of years, Is what we need now just a 'qualified commander'?"

Chapter 282

More than [-]% of the night watchmen in Castle Black have heard the news, and the people in the hall are gathering more and more... In addition to many night watchmen soldiers who are familiar or just familiar, Iger also saw the red-robed woman Melisandre who hadn't seen for a long time And the queen party people who followed her.Even Maester Aemon, who was so old that he could barely walk, swayed into the arena with Sam's support.

Iger glanced around, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

(Very well, the previous ones are just a warm-up, and the main drama is about to start now.)

It’s not just Jon Royce who he wants to spray. This is a desperate battle, leaving no room or retreat. The more people who can witness it with their own eyes, the better.

……

"In this cellar, the 998th commander-in-chief of the Night Watch is being elected. This number is likely to be false. Let's ignore it for the time being. Let's generally admit that the Night Watch has had hundreds of commanders-in-chief." This dialogue There was no rehearsal, and I was the only one who knew the lines. Naturally, no one could come out to cooperate or act as a pawn in a timely manner. Iger could only ask and answer by himself: "Among the hundreds of commanders, except for the nickname 'Night King', who was finally called An unknown commander who joined hands with the King of the North and the Beyond the Wall to destroy, Rensay Hightower who tried to pass the position of commander-in-chief to his illegitimate son, Roderick Flint who wanted to become the king of the wildlings...etc. In addition to the commander-in-chief whose name was recorded in the history books due to dereliction of duty and ambition, among the more commander-in-chiefs whose names have been buried in the long river of history, how many are qualified? Sam, can you answer this question?"

Sam didn't expect that he would be named to speak at all. Fortunately, Maester Aemon, Jon, and Egger were all present. Although he still didn't dare to face the two commanders directly, he gained a lot of confidence and his thinking became clearer.After thinking about it, I probably understood what Iger meant, and he responded cautiously: "If the judgment criterion is 'whether you have fulfilled the duty of guarding the Great Wall', given that the Great Wall has never been lost...I think most of these commanders are is qualified."

"I think so too, the word 'qualified' is so cheap that I would be insulted if someone said that to me. We are now facing the White Walker, and the dead that he leads has never been seen before. The Great Army, Sam, please answer one more question: How many times have they attacked the Night's Watch in the long history since its founding?"

"No, the only mention is the story that No.13 Commander-in-Chief of the Legion was seduced and corrupted by a woman suspected of being a White Walker, and ruled the Long Night Fort as his own kingdom for 13 years. He is the Night King you mentioned earlier , after being defeated and killed jointly by the King Beyond the Wall and the King of the North, it was found that he had offered sacrifices to the White Walkers... But these records all come from unreliable documents. If I have to say it, I prefer to be conservative Believe it: the White Walkers never really made a big attack on the Wall after the formation of the Night's Watch."

***

Iger nodded towards the answerer, and turned to look at all the brothers: "I dare not advocate Sam's fighting skills or courage, but I believe in his extensive reading and memory! Maester Aemon happened to be there too, so I dare to ask, do you always have a problem with other people? The history of ghosts attacking the Great Wall, is there anything to add?"

The blind bachelor shook his head, and answered tremblingly: "Except that the record about No. 13's commander-in-chief is unknown, and I cannot express my opinion, there is nothing to add."

"The Night Watchman Legion was born after the War of Dawn. At that time, the White Walkers had been driven back to the land of eternal winter by the human alliance led by Azor Ahai... The first commander-in-chief was probably one of the heroes who participated in the war. It's a pity that he didn't get the status of night watchman when he fought against the ghosts. And the only relevant record of the appearance of the ghosts after that is that the No.13 commander-in-chief was corrupted. Then, our conclusion comes out: in history , there has never been a commander-in-chief leading the Night Watchmen to repel the massive attack of the White Walkers!"

Carter Pike frowned displeasedly, and asked harshly, "Hey, what are you trying to say?"

"Not long ago, the army of the dead launched an attack on Castle Black. Countless ghouls scorched by oil and wildfires are still in the snow, and they can be seen as soon as they ascend the city. This is a situation that any commander-in-chief of the night watchman has never faced. What we need now is not a 'possibly qualified' commander, but a leader who is willing and has proven his ability to turn the tide and lead the Night's Watch to victory in this war of ice and fire!"

……

The hall was still silent, but after all, there were several times more people than when Iger first arrived. Even the quietest discussions, when added up, finally converged into a subtle buzzing background sound.A few seconds after Iger's voice fell, Carter Pike laughed loudly: "You think you are the leader who can 'lead the Night Watchmen to win this war between ice and fire'? It's too arrogant."

"A deserter, a thief, a shameless person who likes boys, and who ignores the rules of the night watchman and meddles in a large number of internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, also wants to get involved in the position of commander-in-chief?" Eoin Royce finally found the point of trouble, " In terms of logistics work, you may indeed have some skills, but your character is so bad that you are really not worthy of leading such a noble group as the Night Watchman!"

"It is true that I was forced to join the Night Watchman Army because of theft, but the reason is not because of the heinous crimes, but because I was shipwrecked and drifted to Westeros, and I couldn't speak the language; as for whether I am a deserter, Commander Mormont , Lord Benyan Stark, and even the late Duke Eddard Stark have already made a conclusion, and it is not your turn to question; what other disgusting rumors like 'like boys' are there, I don't know you Where did you hear it from? If you have evidence, please show it, if you don’t have evidence, please shut up!” For these messy accusations, just deny them completely, and the onlookers decide who to believe. Overwhelming people: "We are talking about who has the ability to lead the Night Watchman through the storm, but Lord Royce uses some pretentious nonsense to attack personally... I am beginning to suspect that your Excellency is not just incompetent, There is also a problem with personal morality!"

After spraying one, regardless of the original Runestone City Earl who was still waiting to fight back with his mouth open, Iger turned his gun on the other person without hesitation, not giving the enemy any room to refute: "Two months ago, I also asked myself I had doubts about being able to lead the Night Watch Corps in this war, so I decided not to participate in the election, and gave up the position of commander-in-chief to two more senior and prestigious commanders. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, I gradually began to realize I realize that there is nothing I can count on in the Night Watch Legion right now—people who are both qualified and capable. If I don’t stand up, I can only look at the mediocre people, with the brothers of the entire legion and countless gifted lands. Citizens, run to inevitable defeat and death!"

"A mediocre man?" The chief affairs officer who had been watching the battle couldn't sit still. "This is how you evaluate such excellent and experienced commanders as Sir Mallister and Lord Carter Pike?"

Iger didn't respond to Osell's pressing question, and didn't even look at him - he threw the question directly at Sam for the second time: "Please allow me to ask, Sir Mallister and Carter Pike, masters respectively How many soldiers have voting rights in each fortress?"

No one is more sensitive to this data than Sam, and he replied directly without thinking: "Sir Dennis Mallister can vote on behalf of the 230 six people left behind in the Shadow Tower, and the number of defenders in Eastwatch should be 20." On zero five, more than 180 people accompanied Lord Carter Pike to Castle Black, and the commander can still vote for the remaining [-] people."

"If anyone has any objections to the data, please raise it immediately." Iger glanced around the crowd: "The Shadow Tower and Eastwatch each have more than 200 brothers, Castle Black has about [-], and the rest are dozens of newly activated fortresses scattered along the Great Wall Commanding the Mountain Clans... These thousand-something brothers make up the entire group eligible to vote in the Night's Watch. Two-thirds of the votes are required to become the next Lord Commander, and the two commanders who can vote for them In other words, this requirement has been reduced to the level of 'two-thirds minus the number of votes you can represent'." Iger sneered, and then continued: "Even if the difficulty has been reduced by such a large amount, the two still have to go through several times. After ten days of fighting, there is still no winner... neither can defeat the opponent, but also refuse to admit defeat to support the opponent, and finally have to rely on the hands of a third party to reach a compromise that is not mutual recognition!"

"Since the election has not been decided for two months, you say that the participants are mediocre people?" Oser snorted, "Why can't the candidates be too good to be able to distinguish the winner in a short period of time?" Down?"

"There is indeed such a possibility!" Iger nodded: "I thought of this, so I kept an eye out - I did a survey on the achievements and feats of the two commanders during their tenure. Do you want to know the results of the survey? "

Oser frowned. Iger's reaction was too quick and natural. It seemed that his rebuttal seemed to be cooperating with his speech. Could it be that he hit the point of his gun?

Although aware of the bad situation, the chief affairs officer still insisted and refused to give up: "The two commanders have been dedicated to their duties during their tenure, and have never made any mistakes in the defense of the fortress they are in charge of."

Iger smiled silently, shook his head pretending to be contemptuous, and looked at the Night Watchmen at Castle Black, who were almost here, and knew that the fire was almost ready: "Indeed, during the tenure of the two lords, the wildlings have never been able to cross the Great Wall through your defense zone. Raiding the Grant and the North. But what else? For decades, the two strongholds have not become stronger, the number of subjects around them has not increased, and life has not improved. The soldiers of the Shadow Tower still only care about Take good care of the Grand Canyon and the Skull Bridge, and there is not even one more ship at Eastwatch than 100 years ago... What the two of you have done is "sweeping the snow before your own door". Indeed, you have fulfilled your duties, but it is a pity that after you have fulfilled your duties Compared with any 'qualified' fortress commander in the past thousands of years, his results and achievements are not one iota more brilliant!"

"Please forgive me." He squinted his eyes and stared at the two commanders he sprayed with sharp eyes. Although he didn't scare them away, it was enough to make the onlookers feel a stronger atmosphere of confrontation: " You just rely on the majestic Great Wall built by the builder Brandon, and a large group of subordinate soldiers who obeyed orders. While eating and waiting to die in your respective garrisons, you complacently think that you are the most qualified and capable of the Night Watch Corps The elder of the army. The next commander must be himself!"

……

Sir Mallister remained calm, but Carter Pike stood up from his seat, breathing heavily like a cow's pant, and his hands touched the position where the weapon was worn on his waist, until he was hugged by two subordinates.

"In peaceful times, you are qualified commanders." Iger observed the position of James and his people in the west, making sure that he would have a way out if the situation got out of control. I finished the summary of the criticism: "But at this critical moment that is rare in a thousand years, in terms of my values ​​and judgment standards... sorry, not for any one, but the two fortress commanders present-" He Forcibly swallowing the second half of the sentence that is all rubbish, "It's just a mediocre person."

***

The whispered discussions completely disappeared, and there was no sound in the cellar.

Due to the particularity of the night watchman's system and structure, the commanders of each fortress have great autonomy. It is never uncommon for them to have conflicts with each other, but usually they just curse in private and then give each other down. It's just a stumbling block and a silent contest... In this way, in front of the nearly half-brothers of the Night Watch Corps, you have sprayed the other party to nothing, let alone saw it, or even heard of it.

Iger suddenly pointed the finger at the two commanders, which made Jon Royce, who was confronting him before, not even know whether to continue to argue, and couldn't use his strength.And the two veterans of the Legion, who together have been the commander of the fortress for half a century, were still trying to support the former one moment, but suddenly became the target of the attack the next moment, and couldn't even organize a counterattack under the shock. .

Suffering this indiscriminate bombardment without any psychological preparation, people from all conservative camps fell into a momentary confusion and trance.Iger easily and completely grasped the right to speak in this awe-inspiring: "I never thought I was such a powerful person, but I built the Night Watchman's logistics department from scratch with my own power, so that the number of Night Watchman soldiers For the first time in history, there has been a recovery, so that the brothers are treated like the 'guardians of the kingdom' should be enjoyed...even restored the security defense system of the entire Great Wall, which is why I became the chief of the night watchman Achievements since logistics officer."

Of course, this is not the credit of Iger alone. The trust, decisiveness, wisdom and overall situation displayed by Xiong Lao Geo Mormont in the whole process are no less than his own contribution.When encountering troubles, he shirks all responsibility to the late commander who gave the order, uses the dead as a shield, and blames himself, the advisor, when talking about credit... This method is really shameless, but for the sake of the overall situation, he has no choice. Don't do it.

"This is really like arrogance, but unfortunately, what I, Iger West, have done for the Night Watch Corps in the past two years, have brought more changes to the Great Wall than the two commanders in a lifetime. It is much more. After careful investigation and thinking, I finally came to the conclusion: I am the most suitable leader of the Night Watch Corps at the moment. I said before that I would not participate in the election, but for the sake of the Great Wall defenders and all mankind. In the future, I decide to renege on my promise." He looked at the blind bachelor: "Master Aemon, please arrange to add my name in the candidate options——Brothers, if you don't want to taste despair and death, please send your precious Vote for me!"
