"Magic Mountain, as you said, you will be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Robb Stark said slowly, "I'll be your deputy, no one in the Seven Kingdoms can come to the aid of the North, but you're here, and you're with a dragon, so we should listen to you." ”

Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Catelyn Tully, Queen Roselyn Frey, and the nobles of the North were all silent.

Robb is telling the truth.

But fighting in the North, how could Magic Mountain be more suitable than Robb?!

Icewolf Grey Wind jumped off the table and squatted beside his master, Robb, like a dog. His wolf's head was higher than the table, and his wolf's eyes stared at the magic mountain, dragging his tongue out like a dog, revealing his wolf teeth like small daggers, and a menacing low sobs came from his throat.

Grey Wind's reaction is Robb Stark's inner activity.

The mountain knew that Robb and his siblings all had the potential of wolf spirits, and only Jon Snow was stimulated to become a real wolf spirit in the battle with the wildlings and strangers.

Robb Stark, who has not yet become a wolf spirit because of some opportunity, still has a deep tacit understanding with his own ice wolf gray wind.

Magic Mountain understands that it is necessary to get a glimpse of Robb Stark's inner emotions, and it can be understood by looking at Robb's reaction to the gray wind. Robb is a young and enthusiastic young man, he is calm on the surface, but his heart is surging with rolling waves.

Robb said that it would be easy to make the Magic Mountain the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but in fact, it would have a huge negative impact on the soldiers in the north. The soldiers and people of the North love Robb Stark and trust him, and they generally hate the character of the Demon Mountain and doubt its abilities.

Although the Magic Mountain warned Eddard Stark at the bloody wedding of the Frey family, saving the lives of the entire Northern Legion, the common people and ordinary soldiers did not know this secret, and could not possibly know it.

After Robb said that he agreed to let Magic Mountain be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the conference hall was quiet again, this time quiet, with a suffocating heaviness, as if an invisible iron plate was pressing on the top of everyone's heads.

Demon Mountain's gaze slowly swept over the Queen Mother, the Queen, the King, many courtiers, and guards, and he said: "Since King Robb supports me as the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, and when the Southern Army arrives, we need to hold a worship ceremony in front of the old and new gods, and under the witness of the old and new gods, I want everyone to swear to obey my military orders, in order to defeat the strange ghosts and protect the northern border and the people of the northern border, the soldiers of the army must obey the orders and completely obey the ......"

The last sentence of the violator's words, the magic mountain did not say it, this sentence is too exciting, now say it, the warriors in the north will sound very uncomfortable, it will backfire, and I am afraid of accidents. When the Southern Army arrives and says it at the ceremony, it will be logical and irrefutable.

"Lord Magic Mountain, I want to hear about your winning tactics. Queen Mother Caitlin Tully said abruptly. Robb was forced to relinquish command of the army, which added to her unease. Fighting in the North, how could the Magic Mountain know everything better than Robb. This is in the North, and it takes someone familiar with the North to lead the army, and the Magic Mountain is from the West.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the winning tactics can't be said now. Moshan said solemnly, "My tactics need to be kept absolutely secret. The Night King is the son of the god of cold and has a certain ability to predict. “

Caitlin Tully choked with a throat!

Queen Roselyn reached out and took Robb's hand, but fortunately under the table, no one could see the queen's thoughtfulness.

Roselyn could feel Robb's hand cold. This shows that the king is worried...... The Magic Mountain was too strong, and the king knew nothing about the Magic Mountain's tactics, which gave him great psychological pressure.

Roselyn Frey knew that her husband was in a difficult situation, and saying that she was embarrassed was not enough to express the many complex emotions in Robb's heart. Gray Wind didn't sit anymore, he stood up, the wolf's eyes stared at the magic mountain terrifyingly, the cold light of the wolf's eyes was like sword light.

"Lord Magic Mountain, you can't tell us tactics, how do you want our northern soldiers and people to convince you?" said Queen Roselyn Frey with a smile.

This sentence sounds ordinary, but it is actually very powerful, and the gentle words contain a sharp counterattack - the soldiers and people in the north cannot convince the Demon Mountain, so naturally they cannot serve the Demon Mountain as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

"Your Majesty, after the arrival of the Southern Legion, after paying homage to the gods of the old and new, I will naturally convene a supreme military council and tell me my specific tactics. ”

"So, Demon Mountain, what are we going to do with Winterfell now?" Robb Stark said lightly.

"Robb. "The Magic Mountain calls it by its name, this is not rude, it can only be said that the Magic Mountain is too self-arrogant, the king of the north is not the king of the Magic Mountain, in this world, if the status is equivalent or special, it is not taboo to call the king by his name directly, but there is a sense of closeness to each other, "All your military plans are the same, I just want to add one now: under the city of Winterfell, dig deep tunnels." ”

"Authentic?" Robb asked, his eyes sparkling. The underground crypt of his family was wide and deep, and had been used as a temporary refuge for some of his people.

"Yes, the entrance to the tunnel must be small and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the inside of the tunnel must be wide and deep enough, like a wine bag, with a very large belly, but a very small mouth. ”

"Demon Mountain, if the strange spirits attack Winterfell, even if we hide in the tunnels, it will not be a long-term solution. No one can hide in the tunnels in the dead of winter. Earl Karstark said.

House Karstark is an offshoot of House Stark in the North.

A thousand years ago, Winterfell's youngest son, Caron Stark, was granted a land for his efforts to quell a rebel lord. He named his castle the city of Caron, and a few hundred years later, the city of Caron became the city of Caron. Stark in the city becomes a Stark.

The city of Cahoe sits northeast of Winterfell, in the heart of a wooded area by the end of the river, close to the Trembling Sea. The Karstarks are tall and fierce, with long hair and beards, and a penchant for wearing clothes made of seals, bears, and wolf skins. Their coat of arms is a white sunmang, on a black background, and the ethnic language is "the sun of winter".

The lord of this generation of Cahoe is named Rickard Karstark, a burly old man with a white beard, loyal and fierce, and a fiery nature. His second and youngest sons were killed by Jaime Lannister in the Whispering Forest, and he harbored a deep hatred for the Lannisters. Beside him, the eldest son, Harrion Karstark, had a large thick black beard and a fierce appearance, like a humanoid beast.

Rickard Karstark's ridicule of the Magic Mountain's 'Tunnel Project' caused a burst of laughter from the nobles of the North.

Moshan didn't care, as if mocking him was a beautiful compliment. He smiled and said, "Lord Rickard, if the ground of Winterfell is lost, it is true that we will not be able to hide in the tunnels for a lifetime, but we can hide for a while. In the meantime, my second plan is to slaughter most of the ghouls, and there will be very few left, enough for you to get out of the tunnels and kill them all and burn them to ashes. The Night King can only resurrect corpses, but not ashes. The Night King and the Wraiths, who have lost their troops, will be led by me and my dragon to destroy them all with obsidian weapons. Even the Night King can't withstand the stab of an obsidian dagger or the precise attack of an obsidian arrow, so what's so terrible about the seemingly powerful Night King, in my opinion, it's actually too vulnerable. ”

Moshan said lightly and calmly, with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, fire is the nemesis of ghouls, and obsidian weapons are nemesis of strange ghosts, so why be afraid of it?"

Moshan said it very much, but he didn't brag casually, the anxious northerners need Moshan's firm self-confidence and belief in victory, this is a tactical boost, and it is crucial to boost the morale of the northern army, there is no doubt about it.

The ridicule in the conference hall gradually stopped, and finally disappeared, and everyone faintly felt that the magic mountain did seem to have a very complete plan, perhaps, it was their bad impression of the magic mountain that affected their trust in the magic mountain, so they naturally resisted the magic mountain.

Robb Stark's heart moved, he suddenly sensed a very serious problem, this problem may be the root cause of the Magic Mountain's refusal to fully explain the military plan, whether the military plan that the Magic Mountain taboo said is as he guessed, he needs to find out.

For the sake of Winterfell, for the sake of the North, and for the sake of the people of the North, Robb Stark needs to know all of the Magic Mountain's military plans beforehand.

"Magic Mountain, I fully support you as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and I hope you will allow me to be your deputy. Robb said so humbly with the dignity of the king of the north, which made the courtiers of the north and the queen mother stunned.

Magic Mountain was suddenly sensitive, is this young Robb starting to dig a pit?! A guy like this kind of young and old man, once his posture is very low, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Robb, I am the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and you are the deputy commander of the coalition forces. Magic Mountain seemed to be rude, but it was actually cautious and replied to Robb's words just now.

Robb nodded, looked at the Queen Mother, the courtiers and generals, and said, "Do you believe me?"

Everyone nodded in their hearts, and said in unison that they trusted His Majesty. Moshan sensed that something was wrong, but his surface did not change.

"Since you trust me, please go out first, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Mountain and I will study the new military deployment plan of Winterfell in detail. ”

After everyone was stunned, they all knew in their hearts, His Majesty the King is powerful, the excuse that Moshan can't say the military plan first is that he is afraid of the news leaking, but it is only limited to the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the coalition forces, which will not involve the problem of leaking military secrets, so, if Moshan wants to say the military plan, what excuse is there?

Unless the Demon Mountain doesn't trust his lieutenant and thinks that the King of the North will leak the military top secret to the Strangers. But this deputy is the king of the north. He comes from the Stark family, which values faith and honor above life. No one can doubt the faith and honor of the Starks.

Neither the old nor the new gods.

Everyone got up and left, looking at the Demon Mountain's eyes with a little more playfulness and banter, the big man has no great wisdom, although the king of the northern realm is young, he has already proved invincible. In the Civil War, Robb Stark, King of the North, commanded no battles. Of course, the battle commanded by the Demon Mountain has never been defeated, but the soldiers of the Northern Realm, they naturally believe in the King of the Northern Realm more.

If the military plan of the Magic Mountain is perfect, it is the best, even if it is not perfect, with the participation of Robb, the king of the Northern Realm, it will become perfect.

Everyone's hearts are reassured!

As if in an instant, everyone walked cleanly, and in the huge conference hall, only Moshan and Robb were left.

The mountain shrugged his shoulders and said, "Robb Stark, you do have something special. ”

"Magic Mountain, the Stark family has great respect for you, and you have once again come to our rescue, to save my people. You can't repay your father's life-saving kindness, the life-saving kindness of the bloody wedding, the Stark family, and the people of the North, please accept my shallow tribute. ”

Robb stood up, with a solemn expression, facing the magic mountain, his right fist was placed on the heart of his left chest, and he bowed deeply!

Magic Mountain accepts Robb's salute!

He deserves it, and he will definitely not be hypocritical.

The two sat down again, and Robb said, "Magic Mountain, I need to know all of your military plans in order to cooperate with your dispatch and make the best arrangements. The Northern Army will obey your orders in full, and if any Northern Frontier does not obey the orders of the Commander, including me, you have the right to be dealt with by military law. ”

While proposing to know the entire military plan, Robb also gave Magic Mountain the highest military authority in the Northern Army: military law to deal with any Northern generals who disobeyed orders, including himself. Robb mentions himself, of course, as just an attitude. When the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander disagreed, the two could negotiate a compromise, and the magic mountain could not understand Robb, as long as it moved, it would be an ally to become an enemy, and a benefactor to become an enemy.

But Robb's attitude is also very helpful to the military power of the Magic Mountain, and he needs to have this attitude.

Robb Stark's rhetoric blocked the retreat of the Magic Mountain again, and it can be said that it was completely blocked. If Moshan doesn't say his military plan, he will be unreasonable, unreasonable, and not conducive to forming an alliance, and the two sides cannot be trusted.

Moshan looked at Robb, and Robb looked calm. "Okay, Robb, have you probably guessed my military plan?" ”

"I have guesses, but not necessarily right. ”

"Then let's talk about it together and see if we think the same thing. ”

"Good. ”

The magic mountain made a gesture, and the two of them said in unison, "Fire!"

Robb paused, and there was still surprise in his voice that didn't want to believe: "Demon Mountain, are you really going to burn Winterfell?"

The Demon Mountain pondered for a moment and said, "How many years has Winterfell been built?"

"Brandon Stark the Builder built the Wall of Despair eight thousand years ago, in the Age of Heroes, and Winterfell was built before Brandon Stark. Robb said abruptly.

"It's a pity that at least 8,000 years of Winterfell was burned to ashes by fire, but it's better to tear down a castle that is already 8,000 years old and build a new one. New castles, new eras, new Starks, new dynasties. Demon Mountain said in a deep voice.

Robb Stark was silent for a long time, and then said softly, "Magic Mountain, is there no better way?"

No wonder this big man didn't dare to divulge the slightest plan beforehand, no wonder he wanted absolute military command power, he was going to sacrifice Winterfell to win this decisive battle.

"Bringing the entire army of ghouls into Winterfell and then setting it on fire is the best military plan to weaken the Night King's legions. There will be no more than a hundred Aliens who have lost their legions. At that time, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the stranger and the Night King would shatter into ice chips if they were hit by an obsidian arrow. ”

Robb Stark stared at the Magic Mountain for a long time, and said, "The Magic Mountain, Winterfell is not yours, it belongs to the Stark family. After a fire, the newly built Winterfell can no longer find traces of 8,000 years of antiquity. ”

"First there are people, then there are cities. Robb, this is a war of life and death for the people of the North, and war is destruction. ”

"My father and mother will never agree to this crazy military plan of yours. ”

"That's why I want you to keep it a secret. The mountain stared at Robb Stark, "Queen Cersei has appointed me as the guardian of the North, after the decisive battle of Winterfell, I will not lead troops to subdue the North, if you support my military plan to burn Winterfell, after the battle, I will support your independence of the North." “

Robb turned and walked to the lobby window, through which he saw the tallest remnant of Winterfell, an ancient watchtower that had collapsed due to a lightning strike. Bran Stark fell from the remnants of the tower and broke both legs. He looked at the ancient sacred forest, the glass garden, the bachelor's tower, the kennel...... There are three 10,000-year-old trees in the Sacred Wood Forest: Yuliang Wood, which is extremely precious.

Yuliang Wood, a sacred tree that people in the north kneel down to worship when they pray. On every fish beam in the north, a human face is painted with ancient vicissitudes.

"Can you protect the fish beam?" Robb said softly.

This was an unanswered question, so Moshan chose not to answer: "Robb, I will never order the city to be set on fire until the last resort, unless it is absolutely necessary." Eight thousand years of Winterfell, no one could bear to burn it to the ground. "The lies of the Magic Mountain are very sincere.

Those who achieve great things are not informal. The decisive battle against the strange ghosts is not limited to winter.
