Chapter 407: Proof

Hey, Egger was amused by the little queen's waywardness: just a polite "you will definitely reign in the world in the future", you are really welcome, and you have begun to advance the use of the monarch's powers?

Pardon for past crimes—I just stole a few potatoes and stood in front of someone's chicken coop to look at the eggs, and I need your forgiveness? It would be even more amusing to take off my black clothes and serve you at once—what service do you want? Without his status as a night watchman, what can he use to command the big gang of land grants? You know, even the night watch industry, which is completely controlled by himself, is legally under the name of the legion!

The reason why Egger wants to excuse himself a few times is just to go through a procedure and be reserved. After all, if the process turns out to be like this:

[Queen: Then who, come and help me fight the world.] 】

[Myself: Here comes a beauty!]

That's too cheap - no one cares about what's delivered to your door.

However, it is true that the things that you have painstakingly obtained will be more rare, and you have to master the degree of play. Others can do it twice because their talents and networks are really worth the price, but Daenerys is not a poor Uncle Liu Huang - she has no herself, and there are many other ways to go. It would be funny if she had played with fire and forced her to marry little Aegon and join forces with Riverbend Dorne, and then dominate the south and become the big boss she would eventually fight.

Since she didn't intend to force her to do three things, this was the second time she had shown favor and given the steps, and it was time for Egger to go down.

But, after all, things are not that simple.

"Your Majesty, I would love to join you in your cause for the well-being of the people, but ...... After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and is responsible for the Great Wall. The attack of strange ghosts is imminent, and the duty is in the body, and I dare not leave without permission. "Well, your majesty will promise me some conditions, and do one thing first, to prove that you are the people first, and I can not only swear allegiance to you, but even fight for your cause with the entire land grant." ”

This is actually nonsense, once he decides to join a certain camp, he must take all his family funds into it without reservation. He is a lonely traveler, with no family and no children, so he naturally does not think about leaving room for things.

Of course, the queen didn't know that Iger was actually raising the price of the giveaway that should have come with "allegiance".

"Say it. ”

Once the foundation is solid, everything will fall into place. In the time that followed, Iger managed to convince Daenerys to abandon the reckoning with the Reveners and pardon the king-killers who had joined the Night's Watch...... Agreed to a series of his recommendations.

"One last thing - you are fighting for the human side with your three dragons in the war between the Night's Watch and the Wraiths. ”

***

None of the above series of bits and pieces of advice were selfish, but rather that he could not get around the problems that had to be solved when he got on Daenerys's ship. On the contrary, the last thing seems simple, but in fact it contains many considerations.

First of all, Iger must want to jump out of the land grant, but he has to find a reasonable excuse - the so-called teacher is famous. "Helping the queen fight the world" is obviously not a good excuse, it completely violates the neutrality of the night watch, and will be disgraced by the people of the Seven Kingdoms...... However, "because the queen helped the night watchman in the decisive battle, the night watch reciprocated and fought for her", although the essence of the matter is still that the night watch violated the law and interfered in the internal affairs of the seven countries, it sounded much better.

Secondly, as long as Daenerys agrees to this, it is invisibly and reasonably delayed - the night watch and the land-giving army may only be free to do anything else after they have defeated the strangers, but if you say directly to Daenerys, "Wait a minute, I'll come to your aid after I finish fighting the strangers." "That's easy to be perceived by the other party as a scornful and malicious delay...... However, "Let's go to fight the country after we finish solving the human natural enemies!" that unconsciously avoided the embarrassment ahead.

Finally, the news that "the queen rode a dragon to the Great Wall to help fight the strangers" itself can greatly alleviate the hostility and antipathy of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, especially the North, towards Daenerys. Daenerys is the Mad King's daughter after all, and Iger says that it is impossible to convince the Northerners to help the Queen fight the world, but with such a good premise, it is much easier to keep the North neutral: Eddard and Robert are hardcore, but Robb Stark and Stannis Baratheon have no affection at all. The northern army fought several battles for the new king and the riverbend but did not get any benefits, and even the home was almost raided, and the loyalty of the upper and lower levels to the Iron Throne had already been greatly reduced.

As long as the conditions are tempting enough: for example, the queen does not hold the Stark family accountable for their involvement in the Warlord of the Raiders, and allows Robb to retain his status as the ruler of the North, and she may well avoid conflict with her friends in the North and run south to participate in the Great Brawl completely. The inhabitants of the land grant include mountain clans, and if they can't avoid the war with the north, it will be difficult for them to do it both emotionally and in actual combat.

"Reasonable conditions. Daenerys nodded, and although she knew in her heart that it was for her good, Egger had mentioned a bunch of conditions, but she was a little reluctant to agree. That's the last thing...... Fighting for the people was in line with her hopes, not to mention that she would definitely participate in the war as predicted - since it was something she was supposed to do, why not do it now and get a powerful follower and a free army for free. "But I wonder when this battle will break out?"

"Hmm-" Egger was really stopped by the question, and they all said that the great war was imminent, but God knows how urgent this "imminent" was? "It won't be long before Your Majesty can rest assured that this tower will be your exclusive abode, and the Night's Watch will do their best to ensure your safety and well-being. ”

The matter of surrender was negotiated, and both parties felt that they had made a profit. Facing Egger, who was "like-minded" and had already stepped on his own boat with half a foot, Daenerys's expression softened a lot. She glanced at Iger with disgust: "Am I worried about safety and treatment?, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I must make it clear in advance that I am personally willing to meet your request, but I am not only your queen after all. The war is raging in the South, and my Unsullied and Freedfolk are invincible, but Stannis is a difficult opponent, and it is my dragon who forces him to fight in King's Landing, and it is my dragon who makes the princes of the Riverlands and Stormlands dare not be king, but if the news of my land grant is known to him......"

With the map of the king's army distributed by Varys, Daenerys's army was able to arrange the route of march and attack in a targeted manner, and after landing on the Crab Claw Peninsula, it was able to take most of the royal territory north of King's Landing in just one month, and was about to complete the siege of the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

Even if he was fully prepared, Iger still didn't dare to say that he didn't want the three dragons sent to the door himself - three large flying wildfire throwers could take out at least a few thousand ghouls in a decisive battle, reducing his own casualties between three and four digits - the fewer casualties, the more cards he could bring to the table after the battle. Therefore, although he could roughly guess the current situation in the south, he could neither say "It's okay, Queen, don't worry about going to King's Landing, I can handle it here", nor could he make up lies to forcibly deceive the queen into staying and leaving a handle for a long time, after thinking about it, he decided not to respond to this topic.

"Your Majesty has the freedom to come and go, if you have any plans to go out or want to visit Houguan Town, please call the guards, and you will personally accompany you. You have worked hard all the way to ride the dragon, since we have reached an agreement, then do not bother much, it is not early, and later there will be female workers who will come to clean the upstairs room and make beds for His Majesty, the conditions of the land grant are difficult, and the things are certainly not as good as those in the south, but I guarantee that Houguan Town is doing its best to entertain. ”

"Good. Daenerys didn't dwell too much on the issue, and nodded in agreement with his arrangement, "Prepare the sheep to feed my dragon tomorrow morning, and rush to the square where I landed, Drogon will have at least three, and Viserion and Ray have small appetites, two will be enough." ”

Tsk, if it weren't for the large number of livestock that the savages rushed in when they surrendered, it would have been really difficult to feed the three dragons with the land that was originally given as a no-man's land.

"I'll arrange it, then...... Your Majesty, I have retired first. ”

"Hmm. ”

Daenerys was a little tired, but Egger's vision for her was too refreshing, and she was so awake that she didn't want to rest, but she even wanted to continue the conversation with the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, whom she only really knew today—whether it was to hear his detailed thoughts on the next step of the King's Lordship, or to discuss the next life and get to know each other better. But the host took his leave, and she, as a guest, could not stop her, so she could only nod and watch him leave the room.

***

Iger let out a long breath as he left the tower, and although Daenerys' visit was a bit sudden, after some twists and turns, things finally went according to his plan. Sure that the Dragon Queen would stay at least tonight, he reexplained to the guards waiting outside the door, and only returned to his office after making sure that there were no lapses in the security work, and once again warning the lads not to disgrace the land in front of the Queen.

Through Yam's report, he had a brief understanding of the current situation inside Xiahouguan Town. The panic and riots that had been feared did not happen, and thanks to the swift intervention of the Houguan officials to control public opinion, most of the people in the city now believe that the Dragon Queen was called by the commander-in-chief to help...... Not only did the three dragons not cause any bad consequences, but they even made the confidence of victory even higher, which can be regarded as an unexpected gift from Daenerys to herself.

But then, Iger faced a new problem: it was almost dinner time, and he used to accompany all the guests in the hall...... But now there is a Queen Targaryen in the castle, and she and most of the rest of the guests are definitely not able to walk together, and they can't be solved by simply adding a chair to the table. Accompanying this big gang will snub the queen, and accompanying the queen will snub the big gang, although the matter is small, the trouble cannot be ignored at all.

After thinking about it, Egger could only adopt a simple and crude method: lock himself in the office, pretend to be busy with official business, and even have a meal brought - since he is afraid of favoritism, then simply say hello and not accompany anyone.
