There was silence in the Night's Watch Square, and the Night's Watch who participated in the brawl stood obediently with their heads bowed, and even the most arrogant Night's Watch was now in the line with a blue nose and swollen face.

This was because their immediate boss, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Jao Mormont, who had the highest power in the Night's Watch Legion, was in front of them, walking back and forth with a serious face.

"Look at what our valiant wolf slayer, Sir Ma Shen, has done with these recruits of his, beating the other Night's Watchmen, tsk. A voice that felt very inflated came, and Ma Shen, who was behind Jao Mormont, knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

"You've crawled out of the woman's bed, Sir Elisha. With a sneer on his face, Ma Shen sneered at Sir Alyssa as he walked by.

"Well, it seems that Sir Masan is not only fond of beating people, but also likes to tell lies, but I have always stayed here. Sir Alyssa emphasized.

"Then why aren't you here at mealtime, or I might have you lying on the floor. Ma Shen looked at Sir Alyssa with a fierce face and said, the guy who fell into the well, he had a good attitude, he didn't make trouble for himself for so many days, and he wanted to let him go, it seems that he can't be soft-hearted, or he has to find a night to secretly put a bag on his head and beat him.

"Enough! Sir Masan explains. Commander-in-Chief Mormont finally stopped, stopped the quarrel between Masan and Ser Elisha, and turned to Masan and asked.

Hearing Commander-in-Chief Mormont's words, Ma Shen no longer threatened Sir Elisha, but said to Commander-in-Chief Mormont seriously: "My task is to teach these recruits to be brave, combative, and disciplined warriors. “

"Oh, so beating someone is discipline. Sir Alyssa next to him interjected

"As long as others don't provoke, a true warrior is not in the habit of being insulted and not fighting back. "Since this is my mission, I can proudly say that my time has not been in vain, for most of my students, most of whom have not been formally trained before, have defeated these Night's Watch who have been training for months, if not years. “

"We have not been defeated, and these savage recruits are not much better!" Hearing Ma Shen's words, the veteran of the Night's Watch, who had been standing obediently in the square, was not happy and retorted Ma Shen's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Ser Elisha said that the recruits were beating you, do you hear me, the beatings! Ma Shen pointed to Sir Elisa next to him.

"This... The retorting night watchman's face flushed, and he glanced at the ugly face of Sir Elisha, but did not know what to say.

"It was just an accident. Sir Alyssa tried to justify his mistake.

But Ma Shen had completely ignored him, and suggested to Commander-in-Chief Mormont: "I think that the night watchmen can organize a regular martial arts tournament every month, and the regular training and competitions every month can cultivate a sense of crisis, because the night watch is not a stable profession, and we have to risk our lives every day, especially the rangers, so even if we usually endure more hardships, it is enough to save their lives at critical moments." ”

Commander-in-Chief Mormont glanced at Ma Shen with some surprise, but did not react, but turned his head and continued to stare at the night watchmen in front of him with their heads down.

After a long time, Commander-in-Chief Mormont finally said lightly to these night watchmen: "One by one, you know what is wrong, since you are so free, you are responsible for cleaning the hut and washing clothes this week, and you don't have to eat today's meal, waste food, let's disperse." “

Ma Shen was shocked in his heart, it was really a real person who didn't show his face, and Commander-in-Chief Mormont actually thought of Ma Shen's punishment.

Turning his head to look, he found that the night watchmen were just looking at Commander-in-Chief Mormont with confused eyes, so easy to let them go, is this still the original stern Commander Mormont, it feels like a fake commander.

Seeing that his students were also standing motionless with those night watchman veterans, Ma Shen hurriedly shouted with some hatred: "What are you doing in a daze! Commander-in-Chief Mormont said to let you disperse, don't get out quickly!"

"Oh oh," all the guilty night watchmen responded, nodding their heads like chickens pecking rice, and hurried away, one of the night watchmen almost fell to the ground in his eagerness.

"Looks like I still need to exercise. Commander-in-Chief Mormont glanced at Ma Shen, who was a little anxious next to him, and turned to the clerk next to him and ordered, "Go and call the Chief Affairs Officer, the Chief Craftsman, and the Aemon Scholar to the conference hall." After speaking, he nodded to Ma Shen and Alyssa on the side and said, "Sir Ma Shen and Sir Elisha, you also follow me to the conference hall." “

I guess I'm going to discuss the monthly jousting tournament that I just proposed. Ma Shen thought silently, nodded, and followed Commander-in-Chief Mormont to the conference hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Sir Massin's suggestion, do you have any other opinions?" After Masan had given a rough explanation of what he had just suggested, Commander-in-Chief Mormont sat down in the center of the table and asked the Bachelor, Chief Affairs Officer, and Chief Craftsman beside him.

As for Chief Ranger Bunyan, the commissioner reported that Bunyan had recently gone north of the Wall with a few Rangers to inspect the Wall, and that it might not be a month or two before he returned.

Ma Shen, who was sitting next to him, heard it, and sighed silently in his heart, Bunyan might meet a strange ghost when he went out this time, but he couldn't do anything, and no one would believe him, so he could only pretend to inadvertently remind him before Bunyan went out, in case he encountered a strange ghost, the situation was not right, and he would immediately return to the Great Wall, because the long sword was not very useful to the strange ghost.

Through his knowledge of the Aliens, Ma Shen knew that the Aliens did not have many weaknesses, and there were not many weapons that could be used against them.

One of them is obsidian, or dragon crystal, "frozen fire". In the future, when Samwell Tully happens to stab the Wrath with an obsidian dagger, the Wraith flows out of pale blue blood, and its flesh and bones quickly melt away, leaving behind milky glassy bones that glow pale and eventually turn into a puddle of cold liquid. Another weakness that is still documented in ancient books is "dragon steel", which some people call Valyrian steel.

But none of these Bunyans were available, so Ma Shen hinted that he could use fire, and that the strangers should not like fire very much.

It's just that although he has been warned so much, in fact, what will happen, whether Bunyan has listened or not, Ma Shen doesn't know at all, so he can only bless Bunyan in his heart.

"I'm against it. As soon as Commander-in-Chief Mormont had finished speaking, Sir Alyssa objected without hesitation, "I don't think there's any point in holding this so-called jousting tournament on a regular basis. “

"Then when it's time to get in danger, you can hide in your room. Ma Shen said in a voice that pretended to be slight, but could be heard clearly by everyone in the room.

"You!!" Sir Alyssa only felt that he was about to be angry, looking at Sir Elisa's angry appearance, Ma Shen unexpectedly found that he might have been with Tyrion for a long time, and he had already taken him to spoil, and he automatically learned the skill of poisonous tongue, but it was quite cool, Ma Shen thought silently in his heart.

The Chief Affairs Officer and the Chief Craftsman looked at each other, and then the Chief Craftsman, who had a big beard and rough calluses on his hands, said hesitantly: "We craftsmen don't need to patrol and fight north of the Great Wall, I think we just need to do our job well, such as maintaining the Great Wall, castles, and equipment." “

The Chief Affairs Officer nodded approvingly: " Yes, as you all know, our affairs officer is mainly responsible for the daily work of the Night's Watch Legion, and our responsibilities include hunting, planting, cooking horses, collecting firewood, cooking, making clothes, maintaining weapons, and trading with the South in exchange for the supplies needed by the Night's Watch, and although everyone, including our affairs officers, has received basic combat training, and does not deny that we must maintain our combat effectiveness and be ready for battle at all times, but to be honest, we are completely inferior to those rangers whose main duty is combat, and it is possible to participate in jousting tournaments。。。 “

"Hahaha. Sir Alyssa, choked with anger, let out his peculiar laugh, and inexplicably felt a sense of revenge, "Since we all think this is a bad idea, it seems that Sir Massan's advice cannot be carried out." “

"I think so. As Sir Alyssa spoke, an old voice came from beside him, and Maester Aemon, who had been smiling and listening to the others' discussions, suddenly voted in favor.

Although he couldn't see it, Master Ammon seemed to know everyone's whereabouts, and he saw Master Ammon's cheeks turn in the direction of everyone, and said slowly: "Summer is not long, winter is coming, this winter will be incomparably long, we must be prepared, there are no rangers, clerks, and craftsmen in front of winter, Sir Ma Shen's method is very good, it can increase the combat effectiveness of the night watch." “

After Master Aemon finished speaking, Ma Shen also said on the side: "I think it should be otherwise, in addition to the one-on-one competition, plus the team competition, there must be rangers, clerks, craftsmen in the team, after all, the night watchman belongs to a whole, and they must cooperate with each other, which also solves the problem you are worried about, we can try it a few times first, if it doesn't work, you can stop." “

"Hmm. The Chief Affairs Officer and the Chief Craftsman thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, "Okay, we also support Sir Ma Shen's suggestion." “

After listening to everyone's opinions, Commander-in-Chief Mormont pondered for a moment and made a final conclusion: "Just do what Sir Masan did, we have fewer and fewer Night's Watchmen, we can't stay the same anymore, we urgently need to increase the combat effectiveness of the Night's Watch Legion." “

This decision displeased Sir Alyssa, but there was no other way but to follow the decision of Commander-in-Chief Mormont.

After everyone's discussion and decision, the competition is set at the end of each month, every night watchman who has no task at that time can participate, and the individuals and teams who win the first place will receive a certain reward, as for the content of the reward, Ma Shen They discussed it and decided to reward it with money and reputation, but also because the night watchman's materials are not sufficient, mainly to honor the reward, for example, according to Sir Ma Shen's idea, write on a piece of paper the honor of the first place won by so-and-so in the first few martial arts competitions of the Night's Watch, and the name of the commander-in-chief of Mormont will be signed。
