122 Divide your own opinions and negotiate
The war situation is at a stalemate.
The savage's first attack failed, and the loss was not small, and the sharpness seemed to have been worn out a lot because of this. However, in the face of this danger, they did not retreat or find other ways.
Instead, they simply set up camp in the forest called the White Forest on the other side of the Great Wall.
It seems that he will not give up until he reaches his goal.
In this regard, the night watchman and the people in the north did not care much, compared to the north of the Great Wall, which was short of resources, they did not have to worry about the supply problem, and if it was to fight for attrition, the other party could not fight them.
Moreover, the northern army will soon arrive, and this rabble will not have any good fruit to eat.
However, just as the higher-ups were thinking so, the savage side suddenly sent someone to ask for negotiations.
……
"Negotiations? It's ridiculous! ”
In the shield hall of Castle Black, the lights were bright, and the top of the Night's Watch and the leaders of the Northern Army were discussing the matter
"Seeing that the hard one can't be done, you want to come to the soft one? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Sir Elisha, the former head of the recruits, laughed loudly.
The former Recruit Leader was sent by the Night's Watch Commander to King's Landing to seek reinforcements, but before he could reach the place, he was frightened back by a wildfire outbreak, but when he returned to Castle Black, he found that his position as Recruit Leader had been "robbed" by a notorious murderer.
He was already annoyed by this matter, but now that he heard this kind of news, he couldn't help it.
Although at this time, many people in the hall were more qualified to speak first than him.
However, what he said was the general consensus of the night watch.
"I don't think we need to pay attention to them, and when Duke Eddard arrives, we will call them crying and calling for their mother." Someone responded.
"Savages can't wait until then, the situation is obvious now, and a fool will keep waiting." A capable middle-aged man said: "At present, we should pay attention to the East China Sea and the Shadow Tower, maybe the negotiation is fake, and the paralysis of us is real." ”
"Meter? Don't be funny, savages don't have such brains. ”
"The savages don't, the Mance does."
……
When these words fell, the higher-ups of the Night's Watch couldn't help but hesitate.
At this time, the head of the enemy outside the Great Wall, the king of the outside of the Great Wall, Mance. Red used to be born as a night watchman, and many people actually knew him and had a lot of friends with him.
Therefore, they know the king of the outside world, and they will not underestimate him either.
"We can't be careless, we have enough men at the moment, we should send more people to defend the wings, Mance has always been cunning."
"Most of the brothers of the Shadow Tower were taken on missions by Colin with severed palms, and there are not many people to defend them at the moment......"
As they spoke, the brothers in black looked at Robb Stark, who was sitting in the front row of the bench and remained silent, and the young man beside him.
At present, the reinforcements on the Wall, except for those brought by the heirs of the Stark family, are only the five hundred private troops sent by Bolton to Cranston.
The latter only listened to the commands of the other, and the former ignored them as well.
So if you want to arrange these things, you need the consent of these two people.
Robb didn't have a problem with that, after all, he was here to help the Night's Watch, but Charles didn't want to do that.
"Ignoring it will only make the situation worse, wild people are a threat, but what is the point of being a stranger?"
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Charles turned to look at Robb, "I'm interested in negotiations, what do you think?" ”
"I ......"
Hearing him say this, Robb muttered and before he could reply, some of the night watchmen couldn't help but retort loudly, "The stranger is the enemy, and so are the wildlings!" Who knows where the so-called strange ghosts are scurrying around, but the savages must not let go! ”
"That's right!"
"Don't think about negotiations!"
"Ser Alyssa is right, all the wildlings should be damned!"
……
The Night's Watch reacted violently, but Charles just glanced at them, ignoring them.
As far as he was concerned, the total number of troops that the Night's Watch could really fight at the moment was less than a hundred, and they were just rookies, and their opinions seemed insignificant to him.
Although this is somewhat noisy in a sense.
……
"It's a good idea." The scene was noisy, Sang Feng hiding in the corner. Clegane scoffed, "If I'm not mistaken, there are dozens of old crows hiding in the house waiting to die with their swords, how about sending them to defend the Shadow Tower?" There's no one else, and I don't think the wizards will listen to you. ”
"There's no place for you to talk here, dead dog!" The former recruit coach was particularly unpleasant to the current recruit coach.
As soon as he finished speaking, Charles suddenly glanced at him. "It's not your right to speak."
Facing that young face, the other party gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say anything.
So all the opposing vigils wilted.
The guardians of the end of the world usually ignore foreign affairs, but they have also heard of the name of Shire, and compared to others, it is impossible for Elisha, who has just finished his journey, not to know about it.
Before, he only subconsciously retorted, but when he said it, he regretted it a little, and now it is naturally impossible to be a top bird.
He's annoyed by the situation, but he's not stupid.
……
"Do strange ghosts really exist?" Seeing that the scene was a bit cold, Robb hurriedly came out to play a round.
"See it with your own eyes." Charles replied, and then he looked at Jon, who was sitting silently on the corner bench. Snow. "In your customs, wolf spirits are legendary beings like strange ghosts, but at the moment a wolf spirit is not sitting beside you in a big way."
"What?" Robb was stunned, and Jon looked at Charles dumbfounded, not knowing why he knew about it.
"But it doesn't matter."
Charles ignored them, he sat down in his chair and turned to look at the others, "I propose to negotiate, which of you is against it?" ”
Many people objected, but no one dared to speak.
And so the situation fell into an eerie calm.
Charles smiled, not caring about the cold treatment at the moment.
After all, this is someone else's territory, and it is beyond the bounds to stand up rashly.
In fact, if it wasn't necessary, Charles wouldn't be so "unreasonable", but as he said, in front of the real enemy, the so-called savages are not important at all.
To be realistic, continuing to fight actually has many benefits for himself, after all, he can rely on "fighting monsters and upgrading" to improve himself.
But the enemy is not a fool either, and it is impossible to send him to death senselessly.
If you can't attack for a long time, then you are likely to retreat or fall into civil strife, and if that time comes, staying north of the Great Wall will only send small soldiers to the real enemy.
So instead of coveting that little profit, it is better to be cautious of the unknown enemy.
Coupled with the fact that the Three-Eyed Raven had asked for help, he felt that it was necessary to negotiate at this time.
It's a pity that in the face of feud, these people don't want so much at all, and even Robb, including Robb, hesitate about it.
Negotiations, what can there be to talk about in this situation? Isn't it the difference between letting the wild people in and not letting the wild people in?
The other side asks for negotiations, the purpose of which is naturally to cross the Great Wall into the north, and the other side does not want to negotiate, the same reason.
There is no other option.
That's why the reaction of the night watchmen was so violent, because the content was already evident before the so-called negotiations began.
Unable to put himself in his shoes, the Charr naturally did not feel the hatred of the northerners for the savages.
For thousands of years, although the Great Wall prevented large groups of wildlings from crossing it, small groups of wildlings never stopped operating in the north. They robbed, raped, set fires, and left little grass in the places they passed.
So even though his words were credible, and despite the threat of the Aliens, they resisted it.
The meeting ended in silence, and the next day no effective plan was discussed, but on the third day, the return of a group of people broke the current deadlock.
……
"I would never agree to it before, but now ......"
At the sound of the bell, a group of black-clothed brothers who had returned from the field were welcomed into the black castle by all the night watchmen. Mormont slowly sat down on the first chair in the shield hall with the support of a fat man in black, and in the face of the officer's questioning, in the face of the many eyes below, he coughed weakly, and then said: "Agree to their request for negotiation, Bowen, you go and negotiate with Mance about the specific negotiation rules." ”
"Commander!"
Hearing this, someone's face changed, and he stood up and wanted to object, but in exchange for only a wave of his hand from the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.
He was not reconciled to this, and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by an old ranger who had returned with the commander-in-chief.
"You haven't seen the power of those monsters, we've seen them, if it weren't for ......"
He said, shaking his head involuntarily.
There were 300 brothers when they set out, but now only about 20 have returned, and the attack of a large number of ghouls at the peak of the Ancestors' Fist has caused most of the Night's Watch men to lose most of them.
Halfway through, there was a lot of separation due to civil strife in the team.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the "resurrected" little Paul had been following the fat Samwell's ass, he suddenly went berserk and bit a traitor to death, and their commander-in-chief might have died in civil strife.
In this crisis, if the commander-in-chief dies, the fate of the night watchman can be imagined.
So, what are the savages in the face of those real enemies?
So, although there were still many people who opposed it, the matter was finalized.
In the afternoon, under the many complicated eyes of Castle Black, Bowen, who was in charge of negotiations. Marcy walked out of the castle and negotiated with the other party outside the range of the Great Wall.
However, the negotiations did not go well.
"They agreed to fight together against the strangers, but they did not agree to obey our laws!"
After returning, the black-robed man said: "They claim to have the horn of winter, and it is said that the horn has magical powers, and when it is blown, it can cause the Great Wall to collapse, which will kill us all, so they are not afraid of threats." ”
"They're telling jokes, aren't they?"
"That is, a trumpet can make the Great Wall collapse?"
"Why didn't you blow it?"
In the face of the sneers of many black-clothed brothers, Bowen replied helplessly: "Because only the Great Wall can stop the ghosts, and Mance said that he still has some brains." ”
He didn't believe in this kind of thing, but right now there was a man in Castle Black, and the savage was serious.
I can't be sure that's true.
……
Because of a trumpet, everything seems to be at a stalemate again.
However, at the moment, Charles is not too worried.
Charles didn't know what the so-called Horn of Winter was, but when Commander Mormont and his party returned, he saw the big fat man who had called him twice, and a tattered horn in his package.
The hint of the True Eye cannot be wrong, so what is the horn claimed by the wildlings?
Obviously, that's a fake.
They certainly won't let this stalemate continue, and it's just a bluff for now.
"Besides, the opportunity is right in front of me, I don't believe you won't make a move." Thinking of the Three-Eyed Crow, Charles was quite sure about it.
……
Sure enough, just as there was a lot of arguing in Castle Black about this, the next day, the other party sent a thin savage to deliver the message.
"We thought about it, and we want us to obey the laws of the Green Land, but we have to compete!" Standing in the hall, facing a group of "men in black" around him, this thin savage did not look scared at all, but shouted at the top of his voice.
"Tournament? Unless you send giants, you're no match for us at all. A black-robed man said disdainfully.
"A giant can pinch to death the kneeling of your green land with one hand!" The other party replied with the same disdain: "I heard that you have wizards, we can compare this." ”
"How do you compare?" Commander-in-Chief Mormont asked.
"We sent one from each side. It's like who dies first after being beheaded! If we win, we will control us, and if you win, you will control us. ”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Charles.
The person concerned was a little speechless.
The raven came up with the idea when he saw that he could resurrect the dead?
"You're not afraid I'll scare them away?" He muttered to himself.
You know, this corpse resuscitation spell doesn't look like that different from the Strange Trick......
