Outside the tent, the sun was shining, and it was another ordinary day in the coalition camp. When Egg woke up from a nap and got out of the tent after dressing, he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

After a little looking around, he quickly found the source of this strange feeling: many soldiers around him, pointing at the eastern sky, talking a lot.

Following everyone's line of sight, Iger looked at the sky, squinted his eyes, and quickly found what everyone was looking at: low in the eastern sky, a comet was hanging quietly next to the rising sun, dragging its long tail, showing a bloody red, as if someone had cut a bloody hole in the blue skin of the sky giant, and it seemed that a hot and bright fragment burst out of the sun.

Red Comet.

The reason why I couldn't see it when I got out of the tent was because the sun had just risen, and the brilliant light obscured the blood-colored celestial phenomena that were also in the eastern sky...... But once you see it, you can't ignore it: it's so bright, so bright, so vivid that it's not dim or blurry even when it stands shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

It's hard to imagine what the sky will be like at night.

This comet will probably be as bright as the full moon.

Egg felt inexplicably creepy, but unfortunately no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't remember what was going on with this comet for a while. It had been too long since he had read the original book of Ice and Fire, and his memory of the details of the story had become blurry, and he could only vaguely remember that the appearance of this comet seemed to be at the same time as Daenerys Targaryen hatching three magic dragons. Whether it was the hatching of the dragon that caused the revival of the magic that led to the celestial phenomena, or whether the arrival of the comet brought back magic and brought back the dragon egg to life...... He had no clue.

Even if you have a clue, the Mother of Dragons is still far away in the world, what can you do? When you cross over, you have to soak in this so-called "most beautiful woman", which sounds very reasonable at first glance, but once you are really in this cruel world, you will find that you don't have the energy to think about these things at all.

For his own reasons, Tyrion is estimated to be able to stay in Westeros and play his money game, without the assistance of one of Westeros' smartest brains, it is unknown whether this Targaryen girl can successfully counterattack the continent, how beautiful and amazing this prophesied queen is, let's wait for Iger to see her alive.

......

Iger decided not to think about Daenerys, but the shadow of the comet was firmly entrenched in his mind, and he took a deep breath and subconsciously tried to analyze its existence in the same way that he knew the world: such a conspicuous comet, if it had returned along the orbit of the sun, should have gradually entered people's field of vision from nothing, rather than suddenly appearing and becoming visible in the daylight - this is unreasonable.

It seemed so close that it was already very close to the planet of the Ice and Fire World, and at this distance, the angular velocity of the comet relative to a human observer must have been quite enormous, and people should have seen a dazzling shadow that quickly streaked and then quickly faded away, rather than a blood-colored trail hanging in the air.

Could it be ...... It's actually quite far away from people, but it's so conspicuous because of its huge size? Impossible, such a big guy, even if it's a gaseous planet, is enough to cause gravitational disturbance to the world of ice and fire, but the surroundings are obviously peaceful!

Only its small size and its orbit around the sun close to this otherworldly "Earth", parallel to the planet where everyone lives, can explain its stability and harmlessness...... But the question goes back to how it suddenly appeared in the first place.

After a moment of confusion in his mind, Iger decided to give up thinking about the existence of the red comet, there were too many things in this world that could not be explained with what he knew, not too much. Since they exist, we can't say that they are unreasonable, what we really should do is to realize and admit that the knowledge we have is actually limited, and think about overcoming this shortcoming!

"Everyone says that the appearance of the Scarlet Comet is a sign that the Blood Gate will be breached!" Casey excitedly reported to his lord what he had heard from all over the barracks.

"Scarlet Comet, Bloodgate. The corners of Egg's mouth raised, and this statement was really decent: "Do you believe it?"

"Isn't that right?" the young man actually wanted to say the letter, but under the gaze of the chief logistics officer of the Night's Watch, he had to change his words honestly: "I don't believe it." ”

"I dare say there must be someone in the Bloodgate defenders who whispers that this comet is a harbinger of the defeat and destruction of King Robert and his coalition forces. Whatever you believe, but remember to think independently, no matter what the final conclusion is, whether it is correct or not, it is better than listening to what you believe and what you believe. ”

"Oh, I see. The boy said this, and he didn't know if he heard it or not.

Iger nodded, no more. Regardless of whether others admit it or not, he is now a person with his own power, and in this case, it is normal and necessary to guide and promote the followers and helpers around him. After all, the better the people around you, the stronger and more promising your power is.

......

Today's Martell army, who was in charge of the siege, had launched a wave of charges towards the Blood Gate, and after successfully inflicting casualties on both sides of the enemy, he announced that today's military mission was completed, and he withdrew to the main camp to begin the defense work.

Sometimes, people will never know where their limits are if they don't push themselves. A month and a half after his departure from King's Landing, Egg had met with most of the families of the six kingdoms who had been summoned by knights and above, and forty or fifty of them had shown interest in the Night's Watch industry—even if only half of them were eventually brought in, and each family only bought a hundred gold dragon bonds, it would be a huge sum of thousands of gold dragons.

After breakfast, the sun was rising, and the red comet was still hanging firmly in the eastern sky, but Egger, who had spent a year at Castle Black, easily accepted its existence, no matter how dazzling and hideous this thing looked, its visual impact was still so small that it could almost be ignored compared to the desperate Great Wall - as long as it didn't fall down and exterminate humanity, life would go on.

The business that could be done in the coalition camp was nearing the end, and Egg was now waiting for the Great Wall to send an officer or Raven to take his place as the "Night's Watchman" before returning to King's Landing to continue his business...... As for counterinsurgency warfare, as long as Robert doesn't put himself in it, what does victory or defeat have to do with the night watch?

Unburdened of his psyche, Iger began to enjoy a rare leisurely time, strolling through the barracks, wondering who else he could visit, and feeling sincerely happy that he didn't need to go to war on his own.

......

Ahead, under a huge, golden-and-red crown stag, roars, cheers, and the sonorous sound of weapons were heard continuously. The army was stationed in one place, and the soldiers had to have some other activities to kill time except to look at the little yellow book and look for the camp prostitutes. Tournaments are one of them, in which soldiers are usually divided into different camps according to their respective allegiance to the duke, and then carry out activities in various forms and rules - horse riding competitions, team competitions, heads-up, etc...... Those who win will get glory and cheers for their camp, and those who lose will find their own people to relay and try to find a field...... Casey, the young squire, watched every joust with relish, but Iger quickly lost interest after watching a few of them.

It's just a killing skill, it is undeniable that this is indeed a real skill, seven or eight out of ten are better than themselves, but just like most of the drowned know water, the better at these, the closer they are to danger. Iger is now playing a game that can pry the whole world, relying on macro operations to keep himself out of danger and change the world at the same time, which is his goal.

But today, the cheers of the crowd attracted Egger's idea: he actually heard someone shouting "beauty" and "prince"? Could it be Brienne who was fighting Oberon the red viper?
