If you think about it, you can understand that if you don't have access to an organization full of criminals, who can trust and understand? Even if you can't get in touch with it in normal times, and you often ask the government for money and funds, then people will definitely not be happy. After all, at the end of the day, it's all taxpayers' money that is given to them.

However, it is impossible to say that the Night's Watch is indeed in panic and in danger of their lives every day. They can't get married and have children, they can't enjoy normal entertainment, every day except patrolling is patrolling, and if they are not careful, they are at risk of being hammered to death by a wild man, which can be said to be quite a bitter comparison.

Of course, this is also their duty, since they have committed a crime and do not want to go to prison, they can only choose the extremely dangerous job of the night watch, which can be regarded as a balance.

"The Commander's words are a bit excessive. Li Lingyi explained, "Now many people are also aware of the hard work of your night watchmen, and now the scholars in King's Landing are also discussing and preparing to increase the allocation of funds for the Great Wall, at least so that the soldiers can be fed and clothed." ”

"Really?" Mormont raised his thick black eyebrows when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "That's good, the current funds are only enough to eat some black bread and pickles every day, don't think about meat." But without meat, these children will only get weaker and weaker, and then they will not be the opponents of the wild people. ”

"Savage ......" Li Lingyi narrowed his eyes, "I want to talk to the commander in detail about the savage." ”

Mormont was a little surprised when he heard this, and then raised his arm sideways, "Let's go, go in and say, don't freeze outside." ”

The group entered the city, and the open space inside was full of tents, obviously prepared for the soldiers who followed Li Lingyi, densely packed, and it was quite difficult to live in such a small place with an extra 10,000 people.

After settling the soldiers, the generals all entered the room and sat down around the conference table, Li Ling kept intercepting and said: "This time for the attack of the strange ghosts, we must act together with the wild people. ”

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.

The Night's Watch generals frowned and looked at each other, the old commander Mormont's expression was a little surprised, and as for Snow, he nodded in agreement.

Snow had also come up with this idea before. Mormont glanced at Snow, "He said that he had to use the power of the savages, because this is a battle between the living and the dead, then the living humans must be united." ”

"Yes, I do. Snow interjected.

But at the time, the proposal was rejected. Mormont continued, "Everyone thinks it's too dangerous to unite with the wildlings, after all, the battle between us has been going on for too many years. ”

"That's right!" said one of the generals, "savages are cunning and mean, they are as fierce and changeable as wolves and foxes in the wild. If we unite with them, we will unite with a pack of wild beasts!"

"I think so too. Another said, "If we let the wildlings enter the Wall, they will definitely seize the opportunity to attack, and we don't know how many brothers we will lose by then!"

"yes... Why should we unite with the savages?"

The generals were obviously very dissatisfied with this proposal, even if the person who proposed it was Li Lingyi, the newly rising leader of this continent, they did not go along with it.

Of course, this is also because the night watchman is used to handling the affairs of the Great Wall and the wild people by themselves, so they are not too afraid of royal power. Therefore, they also dared to raise objections in front of Li Lingyi without fear.

"You hear me, Lord Crane. "Everybody thinks it's not a good idea, but to be honest, I think so too, old man," Mormont said. Savages are not such easy to get along with, they are very savage, and sometimes they can't reason with them. ”

"No!" At this time, Snow rushed to speak before Li Lingyi, looking anxious, "Savages are not unreasonable, I believe that as long as we show sincerity, we will definitely be able to put aside hostility for the time being!"

"Snow!" one of the generals scolded with a red face, "What do you know? How long have you been on the Great Wall? How much do you know about the wildlings! You know, we've all been here for years or even decades! Don't we know the wildlings as well as you?"

"That's it, Snow, you're too tender......"

"I'm too young, and I need a few more years of training. ”

Everyone's words made Snow's face very ugly, but he couldn't refute it, it was true that he hadn't been to the Great Wall for even a year, and he was still a complete newcomer. Even if he can become a Ranger now, Mormont is already optimistic about him and has been promoted exceptionally. Otherwise, at the normal rate of promotion, he would have been a small sentry now, and in fact, he was the only one who had become a Ranger among the night watchmen who came with him.

"First of all, I understand what you said, and next, I want to talk about the necessity of uniting the wildlings. ”

Li Lingyi said calmly: "The threat of strange ghosts, I believe that everyone should understand without me saying more." In comparison, the threat of the Savages is just a drop in the bucket. ”

"The demons must be destroyed, and I think you can tell from the number of soldiers I have brought with me that I am determined. This battle can only be won and not lost. And our knowledge of the north of the Great Wall, to be honest, is far less than that of the savages, and I don't think you will dispute that. ”

The people, including Mormont, were silent, and indeed they knew as much about the place north of the Wall as the savages for a day. After all, the wild people have been there from birth to death, and they have lived every day in that barren and terrible land for so many years, and that is their homeland.

"If we're going to go on a campaign against the strangers, we can't wander around like a blind man. The cold weather and some traps will kill many soldiers, and it is more likely that they will be ambushed by strange spirits in the wind and snow, and this unnecessary loss is absolutely unacceptable to me. So, I need the intelligence of the savages, and I need them to lead us to find the strangers. Do you agree with that?"

"I agree. Snow was the first to speak in support, and said almost instantly, "I think so too, if we want to deal with the strangers, it will be difficult without the help of the wildlings. Lord Crane's words are one thing, we need intelligence. On the other hand, if we don't unite with the wildlings, what if they attack us while we're out of the city?"

After the two finished speaking, the other generals also discussed with each other in a low voice, obviously trying to find the best of both worlds, a way to solve the intelligence problem without uniting the savages.

"Actually, we have a map. Mormont thought for a moment and said, "The above is drawn little by little at the cost of the lives of the soldiers who have gone out of the city for hundreds of years, and there is about the specific terrain of fifty kilometers north of the Great Wall. Further north, there are none, for there are all barrage villages. ”
