In this counterinsurgency war, how many supporting characters of all sizes in the world of ice and fire gathered in this coalition base camp?

Too many to count.

Due to time constraints and class status, Iger didn't have time or conditions to visit and get to know these people one by one, not to mention that at least the two famous warriors, "Red Viper" Oberon Martell and "Beauty" Brienne Tars, he really hadn't met yet.

The former is too high to see, and the latter is probably because the tent is too inconspicuous to be missed.

Now that we have met each other, we naturally can't give up this opportunity to see and see, even if we can't get acquainted, at least we have to bump into someone who can recognize it next time - with the irrepressible excitement of Casey, Egg got closer to the martial arts circle.

Hundreds of people crowded into the arena, making it difficult to get around, and it took a lot of effort for him to get to a place where he could see what was going on.

"Beautiful!"

"Beauty, kill him!"

Amid the cheers and shouts of the surrounding soldiers, Egg spotted two soldiers confronting each other in the field, the taller of which was covered from head to toe in blue armor, unable to see clearly, facing a man with black hair and black eyes armed with a spear, which Iger guessed was Oberon Martell. Compared to his opponents, the Red Viper looked very defenseless - he wore only soft leather and smooth silk underwear, except for shin guards, arm armor, throat guards, armor, battle dress, and a helmet with no face protection. The chain mail was covered with a layer of shiny copper scales, which did not add up to cover more than a quarter of the body.

Iger didn't know the coat of arms of the Tass family, but based on the cries of the soldiers around him, he confirmed that the person the Red Viper was targeting was Brienne the "Beauty" - and after a few more glances at the "Blue Knight", he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, this woman is really tall!"

Oberon stood in front of Brienne, who was in combat boots and full armor, as if it was only up to her chest, but now, the red viper, which was inferior in height and equipment, was tilting its head to provoke her opponent with a smile.

"Go on, girl, I admit you're the toughest woman I've ever met, you won't be powerless, right?"

......

Under the purging and roaring of the crowd, Brienne roared and charged at Oberon again, and the long sword in her hand slashed an astonishing sword light, unceremoniously falling on the red viper.

After all, Iger has been a ranger for a year, and he is not completely a layman in swordsmanship, just this sword, he immediately saw that the skills of "beauty" Brienne are by no means in vain, his roommate in Castle Black, Gary who has held a sword for forty years, may be able to live with her in a few moves, he, under this kind of strong and rapid attack, if he meets the battle with a conventional defensive counterattack routine, he will lose if he can't hold out a few moves.

Amid the commotion of the onlookers, Aubery Martel skimmed his body to the side to avoid the blade of the sword, and danced his spear calmly—without looking back, he stabbed Brienne's armor-covered waist with the end of the barrel of his gun, seemingly carelessly, knocking the female swordsman into the crowd of onlookers.

(Brienne is no match for Oberlen.) Iger could see that Brienne might still have a chance of winning if she took off her armor - but without protection, the Red Viper would smear something on the tip of the gun during a life-and-death duel, and the result would still not change.

"I-surrender!" Igshang didn't have time to think about it, the tall blue knight threw down his sword angrily in front of everyone, took off his helmet with his hand, and after saying this, he squeezed away from the crowd and left the jousting scene without looking back.

＊＊＊

That's the end of it? Surrender after one move, this doesn't look like the character of a "beauty"...... Egger was stunned for half a second, and quickly figured out the reason: before she squeezed into the crowd, Brienne must have been fighting with Oberon for a while, and it is estimated that she has been teased countless times in various ways, seeing that there is no hope of winning, but the other party does not simply end the competition neatly, and feels humiliated, so she will throw her sword in anger and surrender and then shake her head and leave.

The audience booed, but Prince Dorne was a great martial artist, and there was no shame in surrendering to him. Seeing the "beauty" leave, Oberon chuckled lightly and said loudly: "Dorne's marksmanship is the best in the world, is there anyone who is not convinced?"

The voice of the crowd was much quieter, and many people pushed each other to play, but after pushing and shoving for a long time, half of them didn't stand up. Iger snorted disdainfully in his heart, in this coalition camp, those who can fight with Oberon are either beside their respective feudal lords or are wearing white robes to guard the king's side, and it is really a bargain for someone like Oberon to jump out and fight with the knights at the bottom.

The goal of getting to know the Red Viper and the beauty has been achieved, and Iger was about to leave to see if there were any nobles who had not visited, but when he turned around, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed: "Wait, isn't the 'Ghost Slayer' here, let him play with the prince and make a few moves, let us also see the demeanor of the night watchman!"

......

"Ghost Killer, Ghost Killer!" With the person to heckle, the commotion and shouts of the onlookers suddenly became louder, mixed with shouts such as "Night Watchman!" and "Chief Logistics Officer!" and so on, Egger was suddenly held down by several soldiers around him, and before he could resist, he was pushed into the arena.

＊＊＊

It's no exaggeration to say that Iger is now a celebrity.

It's been a few weeks since the Night's Watch Fantastical Adventures were released, and while sales are nowhere near as good as the other "special publications" that came out on the market during the same period, it's impossible to read the Yellow Book all day. There were many illiterate peasants and soldiers in this coalition camp, but with the concentration of nobles and elite troops from the Six Kingdoms, the literacy rate was actually far higher than that of Westeros or anywhere else in the world, probably one-tenth or even more.

In addition, even those who are illiterate can understand the contents through the mouths of those who can read.

As one of the first books to appear on the market, "Adventure" with a non-knightly protagonist and refreshing content easily became popular, and after word of mouth, Egger's "own story" spread smoothly.

As the main character, Egger originally hoped to let the world know that he was a visitor from outside Westeros, forced to join the Night's Watch due to a language barrier, and by the way, to correct the name of the black-clad brothers who confronted the Wildlings and Strangers on the front line, and improve the impression of the Night's Watch in the eyes of the world...... As a result, there is always a deviation between reality and ideals, and readers and readers' listeners, for some reason, ignore the real point, and instead spread the passage "Winning hand-to-hand combat with strangers in the Ghost Forest...... As a result, the release of this book ended up having a different impact:

Not only has the image of the night watchman not changed, but he also has a love of bragging, and Iger himself has become a legendary night watchman, but it is a pity that this "legendary" ...... It's in double quotation marks.

A book is 99% fictional, and the only real 1% of it is taken as evidence that it is not true, and Iger doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the real world, this is a typical public relations failure and improper guidance of public opinion...... Thankfully, the book doesn't contain the name of the main character, and the cover notes that it's purely fictional, and although it has had a slight negative impact, it's not a loss compared to the popularity it has brought to Iger and the sales and profits it has made.

......

Egger had comforted himself in this way, but when he was pushed into the arena and faced one of the best warriors in the Seven Kingdoms, his popularity suddenly became a burden.
