Chapter 297: You Have to Campaign

"Jon, to avoid a resurgence of human war, you must become the commander of the Night's Watch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Zhao Mai said to the man with the wolf: "You also saw that only the Night's Watch can shelter the freedmen. The consequences of putting Stannis in control would be catastrophic. ”

Jon nodded. He also recalled the meeting between himself, Mance Raed, and Zhao Mai and Stannis. There is absolutely no such thing as a "harmonious meeting, a meeting of progress, a meeting of victory". Stannis is steel, Mance Rader is snow frozen hard ground, Jon ...... Jon was the poor one of them. When Stannis finds out that Jon Snow is the illegitimate son of Duke Ned Stark, he looks up to him and listens to him. But when he learned that the Night's Watch didn't currently have a commander, and that Jon was just an officer of the former commander, his attitude took a turn for the worse.

"I don't have time to waste here. He stood up, like a sharp sword, and coldly cut off the meeting: "Mance Red, don't try to attack the desperate Wall, and don't try to enter the lands south of the Wall, unless you kneel down and surrender to me, I am the king of the Seven Kingdoms." ”

"We are free people, and we will not kneel. The king of the outer part of the fortress also stood up like a cedar.

The meeting broke up, and Stannis led his army to the Wall, where Ser Alyssa opened the gates to welcome him and placed him in the King's Tower at Castle Black. When Bear and Jon were dealing with the strangers, they burned down Bear's bedroom, so the Night's Watch cleaned up the King's Tower for Bear to live in. Now those things are used by Stannis.

According to Ser Elisha, "The King's Tower has finally inhabited a king." "It's not a good sign, especially for Jon. So Zhao Mai said to him, "Go back to the castle as soon as possible and become the commander of the night watchman." I'm here to keep an eye on the people outside the Cypriots, and to guard against Stannis's surprise attack. ”

"What should I do?" Jon said, "I know my brothers like me, but I don't know how to be the commander of the Night's Watch." I...... I didn't have time to learn more from Mr. Xiong. ”

"When Elder Bear thinks, he always starts from the night watch, not his own preferences, just think about Custer. Zhao Mai said: "It's good for you to remember this, all for the night watchman." ”

"I understand that, but I ...... How am I going to convince my brothers?"

Zhao Mai thought about it, and all kinds of historical dramas, court dramas, and presidential election dramas were staged in his mind one after another. He pondered for a moment, then said to Jon, "Remember, the first thing you have to pay attention to is the wording, and don't say the word freedfolk anymore when you go back, it's all savages." You must know that the Wildlings and the Night's Watch have a bitter hatred, and this must not be forgotten. ”

"You can say that we can't forget history, but we can't be completely bound by history either. The right to kill can be obtained only by being an executioner, and only the king can pardon others. Remember, you are not to forgive the wild men for what they have done, but to transform them, to domesticate them, so that the wild men are no longer wild men. ”

"If it's right to suggest that the savages are exterminated, then let him come up with a plan. First, the plan of how to defend the entire front, and then how to destroy the 30,000 savage warriors and 50,000 savage civilians. Remember, the only one who has a solution now is you, you hold the agreement negotiated with Mance Rader, and the others have nothing. ”

"You are Jon Snow, the son of Ned Stark, Duke of Winterfell, the officer personally selected and groomed by Commander Jao Mormont, the nephew of Chief Ranger Banyan Stark, and Jon Snow who avenged the Bears, purged the traitors, and defended the Wall. ”

Jon blinked, looked down at his hands, and then looked at Zhao Mai again: "Hearing you say that, I seem to think I have won the ......"

"However, there is one more problem. Zhao Mai said: "What should I do with Ygritte, have you thought about it?"

"I'm ......" Jon froze. He loved Ygritte dearly, and the savage loved him dearly, but they couldn't be together. Jon thinks their relationship is a mistake, but it's not love that's wrong, it's himself who broke the Night's Watch oath. "What should I do?"

"Seriously, I don't know. Zhao Mai spread out his hand and said: "Emotional problems can only be solved by yourself, and it is really useless for others to help." However, you have to dispel the illusion that you can't be a night watchman again, marry a wife and have children. My only suggestion is that, if you have the chance, you can speak to Ygritte about it, completely, as it is, without reservation. You have to say that you love her, you have to say how important it is for you to be the commander of the Night's Watch, and you want her understanding and support for the Night's Watch and for the Freedmen. Well, I'm going to be numb if I keep it going. There's no good in cheating, Jon, especially not the people you care about and love, whether it's the Night's Watch or Ygritte. ”

"Thank you. Jon said.

"Well, you're welcome. Zhao Mai said, "If you become the commander of the night watch, can you allow me to go to your vault?" I would like to pick a few gold coins for collection and commemoration, at most a few. ”

Strange request, Jon thought for a moment and nodded. He picked up his claws and led the Icewolf towards the Great Wall. Although his back seems a little lonely, he actually carries the hope of the entire tribe of the wildlings.

Mance Rader stood at the edge of the woods, watching Jon walk farther and farther away. "Ahem, I'm going to die anyway, so let's hurry up and get busy!" he said to Zhao Mai.

"Your son has just been born, why don't you go and see it?"

"I've seen it, strong and healthy baby, just like me!" Mance Rader smiled happily, not at all like a man who had decided on his own date of death and knew that the moment was getting closer and closer. "He was born when you yelled so loudly and scared Stannis out, so I called him Dragonroar Red, hahaha!"

"Can I be his godfather?" Zhao Mai thought for a while and said, "We call this a godfather there, but it's actually pretty much the same." I thought, since he used my nickname for his name......"

"Of course, great, I can't ask for it!" said Mance Red, "and my wife will agree! Come, I think we should have a drink on it!"

"A glass is fine, but celebration is avoidable. I always felt like Stannis was still eyeing him. He's also vying for the throne of King's Landing, so he may need your men. ”

"Huh? We're not going to fight for those who kneel!"

"You can not kneel, but can you not fight?" Zhao Mai said to the king of Saiwai, "You also know in your heart that many of the customs of the tribes outside Saiwai are quite terrible and barbaric. If it's outside the Great Wall, that's their own business. But now that you are one, any problem that arises is a problem of the whole savage, and you can't help but think about it. You should find a way to give some tribes and people an outlet to vent. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, where did Stannis get so much money to organize the army! Damn, why did I forget about it?"

"He's rich?" said Mance, pinching the short beard on his chin, thoughtfully. (To be continued.) )
