Black Castle.

"I've never seen a kid as weak and hopelessly weak as you. ”

A new group of 200 recruits who volunteered to come to Castle Black to guard the Great Wall gathered in the castle's large training ground, and the "Giant Buster Tormund", as the newly appointed training officer of Jon Snow, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, was giving a speech, "Quietly you have fine skin and tender flesh, your hands are only worthy of needles and threads, and you are not qualified to hold swords. In my opinion, you should go back to your warm country, where there is no honor you want, only cold. If you stay and can't pass the training, I will only send you to add new land to the post-production department to be responsible for pig raising. ”

Because the Northern Gripen Legion does not recruit new recruits at all.

The Night's Watch Legion, which has just been incorporated into the Northern Army, has become the only option for the Northern Youth to enlist.

In the new military policy promulgated by White Harbor, it is clearly stipulated that the old system of night watchmen has been revised, and the previous compulsory conscription system has been revised to conscription only in wartime and conscription in non-wartime.

Moreover, now that you are a member of the night watch, you will not only receive a reasonable military salary every year. The Night's Watch will not need to serve until death, and those who perform well during their service can be promoted to the Gripen Legion Youth Legion.

Of course, conditional marriage, childbirth, and land concessions were exceptionally allowed.

The current commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch is said to have a good lady from the Freedmen outside the Cypriots.

The drastic reform has stimulated the enthusiasm of the people in the north and even some noble teenagers who want to use it as a springboard and dream of entering the youth army of the Gripen Legion and seeking battlefield glory.

In the attic of Castle Black's tower, Commander Jon Snow, the commander of the Night's Watch, looked at the training ground full of recruits and remembered the scene when he enlisted.

Formerly recruited from the dungeons by the Night's Watch recruiters, joining the Night's Watch began to be seen as a way to escape punishment, more suitable for the scum of Westeros than for the Knights.

Devalued aristocrats, illegitimate children, and declining aristocrats who have fallen out of favor are all "encouraged" to wear black, as is the case with many men in black today, although they do not want to do so in their hearts.

Now, after the reforms, serving on the Great Wall was seen as a symbol of glory and selfless dedication to duty, and many knights, people of status, and the children of nobles began to voluntarily wear black.

Ygritte's fiery red hair was neatly combed, and at this moment she looked at Snow by the window, the cold wind blew in through the howling window, she took a thick bearskin coat from the hanger next to her, and went to the windowsill to drape Snow on it.

Jon Snow took Ygritte's hand, and in the cold wind, the warm heat of the two men intertwined.

At the training ground below the attic, Tomund foamed at the mouth and continued to shout, "Rick, Floren, Newman, Claude, Ronaldo...... What are these broken names, it is a shame to have such a name in the army, and from now on you will have new names among the Night's Watch, listen to your names...... Toad, stupid, stupid, sissy, freckled man, monkey, stupid," and finally Tormund looked up at Jon Snow, the commander-in-chief who was peeping in the attic, "and wild seeds." ”

Jon Snow snorted unhappily when he heard Tormund's loud words, his face darkened, and he snorted unhappily.

Ygritte glared at him and said, "Tormund is a fool who doesn't know a single word, Snow, you really sent him to be an instructor for a group of recruits from noble families who came to the Great Wall. ”

"The free people are outstanding in individual battles, Tormund is the best among them, the instructors do not need to be literate, they just need to know how to teach this group of people how to hold swords, and when they have courage and strength, I will personally teach them in formation and array. ”

"Tormund is not my opponent sometimes, in that case, can you arrange a new recruit for me, I heard that there are hundreds of recruits to enlist, and the freedfolk children in the new lands also dream of joining the Night's Watch, Lord Commander, when will you also make me one of the instructors. Ygritte asked, looking at the little face.

Snow turned around and looked at his woman with a smile. "The army has never had a female instructor. ”

"The old rules are being broken, and since White Harbor has authorized the Night's Watch so many conveniences, why not go any further?"

Snow's face wrinkled into an embarrassed word, grabbed the woman's rough palm, led her to the attic away from the window, and said solemnly: "We serve Lord Lynn, the king of the North, but everyone knows that a person will not live forever, Lynn has mixed these many northern teenagers into the Night's Watch, on the one hand, it is strengthening the strength of the Night's Watch legion, and on the other hand, it is weakening the existence of the Night's Watch. The Gripen Legion, a term I've never heard of, was suddenly planned for the formation of the legion in White Harbor, intending to promote soldiers from among the Night's Watch, which meant that the Night's Watch was gradually being incorporated into White Harbor's military system. ”

"Isn't that a good thing? In this case, you can also have a chance to get out of here, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch is nothing, if you can become the commander of the Gripen Legion Youth Army, and really enter the decision-making level of the army in the North, it will be a great honor. ”

"It's not that easy, just look at the recruitment ratio, only one child of the Cypriot Freedmen is allowed out of ten recruits. ”

Ygritte frowned, "Lord Lynn is a good listener, you can escalate this matter, and free people should be treated equally." ”

Snow looked at the white snow flying like cotton wool outside, and exhaled: "That's true, it's just that Lynn has a feeling that I have never seen before, he does things silently, but he is extremely domineering, such a big thing as reforming the Night's Watch Legion, he just does it, there is no room at all." ”

Seeing Ygritte fall into deep thought, Snow suddenly laughed and teased: "However, the good news is that the possibility of a brave and fearless woman like you serving in the army in the future may really come one day." ”

Ygritte had been a member of the Wild Legion of the Cypriots, the Tinkerbell Wildling's Scout Team, and she didn't think anything was wrong with that.

Those who can live in it, as a matter of course.

But for Jon Snow, who grew up in Winterfell and grew up as the bastard son of a former Guardian of the North, he knew how fucked up and daring Lynn was in the hierarchical continent of Westeros.

It had only been since he became Lord of the North, and he had firmly controlled the North and quietly changed, and perhaps one day he would completely change the entire continent of Westeros.

And the direction of change, no one knows......
