Iger didn't have the means or equipment to measure the "magic strength" in the Great Wall, the "cold god energy density" in the air, and so on, so he couldn't accurately calculate when the ghosts would be able to overcome their disgust or fear of the Great Wall and force a general attack.

Theoretically, each day could be the last day before the strangers attack. The land grant has entered the highest state of combat readiness, and is still doing everything possible to give full play to the wisdom and initiative of all people, constantly contributing to this first line of defense, and continuing to strengthen its defense.

But there are two important events that have yet to happen, allowing Iger to judge that he still has some time:

1. After Branstark disappeared in front of the giant heart tree beneath the castle of the Long Night, he has not returned.

Due to his own intervention, the historical course of this world has changed drastically, but the impact on the north of the Great Wall is not very strong, and Egg can only hope that the Green Prophet has enough skills and means to ensure that his inheritor can still return to the south of the Great Wall safely.

As long as Bran doesn't die, he'll be able to return before the Wraiths have the power to overcome the exorcism effects of the Wall. In other words: the Wraiths will surely not accumulate enough power to launch a strong attack until Bran returns to the Wall.

Second, Daenerys Targaryen has not yet counterattacked Westeros.

Without this conceited and willful little queen sending the dragon in anger, the Night King himself would never have been able to destroy the Great Wall...... It had to wait until that unknown point in time, or the idea of bypassing the Great Wall to attack, which was already on Egger's defenses.

Of course, it would be irresponsible to rely on the memory of the plot to judge the timing of the enemy's attack, and all Egg could do was to go back as quickly as possible, get the job done as quickly as possible, and then rush back immediately to continue the land grant.

He led more than a dozen guards lightly to the south, and traveled day and night along the repaired King's Road, and within a few days arrived at the "headquarters" of the northern side of the West Coast War, the Grove Home City, where he had personally led his troops to recapture from Asha Greyjoy.

＊＊＊

A few weeks ago, Robb Stark's attack on the Necks shook the entire north of Neck, and the northern princes quickly organized an army to meet the feudal lord, and searched for and pursued Euron Greyjoy, who ventured deep into the wolf forest.

Unfortunately, when thousands of northern troops arrived at the site of the battle half a day after the battle, the enemy had already completed the sweep and exited the battlefield, leaving only the corpses of six young northern nobles and hundreds of veterans, as well as icewolves that had been beheaded, skinned, and planted high on stakes for demonstration.

It was an indisputable fiasco, tactically, in public opinion and psychologically...... Or a serious loss. Fortunately, this did not disrupt Robb's strategic planning: after this lesson, the military operations of the North on the west coast were much more cautious, and the troops must be dispatched to scout for reconnaissance, and the nearest friendly forces must be notified in advance to prepare for support and cover...... And, of course, bring earplugs.

Of course, caution will not be meaningless, and there will be no second time when the northern army has been formed and destroyed by a sneak attack...... But the consequence of this is that the efficiency and effectiveness of the evacuation of the residents who are close to the coastline are greatly reduced.

However, regardless of how many villages were burned and looted and how many casualties the Northerners suffered during the invasion led by Euron, the end result was that by the time Iger arrived at the Deep Forest, where the nobles of the North, had already completed the strategic transfer of moving into the nearest winter town to protect themselves, despite the harassment and obstruction of countless small groups of Iron People.

According to the original plan, this step was completed...... The princes of the north could leave some of their elite troops to guard the towns that sheltered from the winter, and then return to their homes to survive the winter or go south to protect the shores of the Riverlands. The reason why they are still gathered here is simple: to argue or deliberate over the methods and details of military retaliation.

It was good to be in a hurry, and Iger arrived at the headquarters before the Northern Princes had finished the "West Coast Military Port Site Tender", and participated in the meeting after the briefing.

It wasn't the first time Ige had seen Egg at a battle meeting, and not many of the Northern nobles had shown strong opposition or resistance to his presence as the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch...... He walked into the halls of the Deep Woodburg without any sense of disobedience, and publicly announced his idea of establishing a three-in-one functional military port with "Fleet Moorings, Shipyards, and Night's Watch Stronghold No. 21", emphasizing that the Night's Watch would provide labor and harbor defense free of charge.

......

The Night's Watch has no right to meddle in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms.

But when he was the one who benefited from the bad rules, he decided that no one mentioned this stubble, this is a chaotic era of wars and chaos, rules and systems collapsed, and a young feudal monarch who does not attach so much importance to tradition, and the northern princes who are full of thoughts of "revenge" and "finding the field" not only did not question the legitimacy of this plan, but they were all secretly happy that someone was willing to take the initiative to take this hot potato.

There was no one to compete with Iger for the bid to build a military port, and a group of rough men quickly discussed the specific feasibility.

"Wouldn't it be too north, and the sea won't freeze and freeze the ship in the harbor? ”

"No, I ordered someone to carefully check the historical records and investigate the fishermen of the Vort Clan, and determined that there has never been a large-scale freeze in the history of Cold Ice Bay. Iger guessed that it was probably due to the icy shores blocking the cold currents from the north, and maybe there was a northern sunset current or something to help within...... Of course, speculation is not suitable for nonsense, even if it is the right gang of coarse people who can't understand it. "The north has the benefits of the north, and the Iron People would never have imagined that the north would bring the military port to the shores of the Night's Watch. Even if discovered, the distance between the Iron Islands and the Grand Canyon would make it extremely difficult for them to attack if we were to clear the west coast and the enemy would not be able to obtain supplies along the way. ”

"What about the wood needed for shipbuilding, and is there a forest around there?"

"Yes, it's not as big as the Wolf Forest, but it's definitely enough. We don't need to build a huge fleet like the Iron People, as long as we have a few sturdy and massive warships that can carry and protect soldiers from breaking through the blockade and landing on the Iron Islands, we can end this war at its roots. I've even figured out how to deal with the Iron Fleet's arsenal of weapons, wildfires, an unstable substance that is often dangerous, but the climatic conditions of the Cold Bay in the cold winter make it possible to use it in battle. ”

As the Mad King's favorite ignition at the beginning, the name of the wildfire, a big killing weapon, was naturally familiar to the nobles of the northern realm, and seeing that Ig had even taken into account the details of this kind of actual battle in the future, the sad faces of the northern princes who had been discussing for days finally slowly faded...... Hopes for the prospect of this war are gradually beginning to rise.

Continuing to ask a series of questions, Iger confidently answered them one by one, and identified several key questions: the construction of the harbor and the shipyard, which he would call in experts from King's Landing, the large number of skilled craftsmen needed for shipbuilding, who would be provided by the Mandalay family in White Harbor, who would rush to Houguan Town after the initial establishment of the harbor stronghold, and the Mormont family on Bear Island, who would support the backbone of the future northern navy, be responsible for training the recruits into qualified sailors, and serve as captains on the ships that were constantly being built, chief officer and other core positions.

Since Brandon the Ship Burner burned down his father's fleet, the North has not had a full-fledged navy for hundreds of years. If you really want to make up your mind to rebuild, there are so many details to consider that I am afraid that I will not be able to discuss it for three days and three nights. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Robb raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Egger, I'm grateful that you're still keeping your heart set for the North at times like these. The Lord of the North, whose right arm was still hanging from his neck, spoke with a faint sorrow: "But you have a more important task to take charge of the land for us, to guard the Great Wall, to take care of the savages, and to keep the strange spirits out of the fortress. Thank you for your willingness to provide accommodation and assistance, but leave the rest of the mess to the Northerners. ”

This was a tactful criticism of the wrong focus of his work, and Iger spread his hands and explained: "No, my lord, you have misunderstood, I did not come specifically to build a navy in the north. The establishment of this stronghold was originally part of the Night's Watch's plan to improve the Great Wall's defenses, but the Legion encountered financial difficulties in the course of its work, and I came here to ask for financial support and support. 2k reading network
