The gondola is not a hoist, which is connected to a winch and a bunch of other mechanisms, like a cage, it is pulled entirely by hand. The moment Jaime jumped up, several of the ghouls climbed up and grabbed the basket, and the weight of the ghosts increased the strength of the rope, almost bringing down the soldiers on the top of the Wall who were dragging the other end down...... At the last moment, he swung his sword with one hand, cut the part where the rope was tied to the hanging basket, and then decisively threw away the weapon, grabbed the rope with both hands and climbed up half a meter, dodging the giant palm that had rushed to the foot of the Great Wall and tried to catch him, and successfully escaped from the tide of ghouls and ascended to heaven.

I don't know if I ran out of strength or didn't know Jaime Lannister at all, but the stranger hiding at the edge of the Shadow Forest no longer used long-range means to attack the rangers who were dragging the rope upward. After swaying back and forth in the bitter cold wind for more than ten minutes, and after countless intimate encounters with the ice walls of the Great Wall, Jaime climbed to the top of the Great Wall from the north side for the first time.

＊＊＊

"Whew" panted, Jaime climbed to the top of the Great Wall with his hands and feet, and after sweating from the battle, he let the cold wind blow for a long time, his whole body was frozen and stiff, and he lay on the ground, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and express his gratitude to everyone.

"Don't talk yet, give him a blanket and go down into the room. Egger managed to convince Mormont to leave the edge of the Wall: "Keep throwing oil cans, don't let the strangers turn their dead brothers into the living dead!"

"But my lord, the reserves are running out......"

"Execute the order! Throw the oil drum away, ...... it right away. We'll all change our clothes as wildfires!The first time the ghouls stuck to the Great Wall for us to kill, if we don't take this opportunity to kill more, we will regret it in the future!" Egg had already made up his mind: after returning home, he immediately informed Donghai Wang, and distributed the passivated wildfires brought by King's Landing to every fortress along the Great Wall, and the war between the living and the dead seemed to have begun sooner than expected. "Your Excellency, I suggest that starting today, the number of sentinels on the top of the Great Wall be doubled again. When it's okay, don't lean against the edge of the Great Wall and come in with some help to carry Sir James away!"

......

Since there was no longer any need to injure the living, the oil barrel exploded wantonly at the entrance of the iron gate where the ghouls were most densely concentrated, frantically devouring the puppets of the cold god and the corpses on the ground that had not yet been "resurrected". The army of the dead wiped out the last living man on the ground, and soon retreated away from the Great Wall under remote command.

In a brutal and unconscionable battle, the Alien Side managed to prevent the last of the wildlings from passing through the Wall unharmed, while bringing chaos to Castle Black. And there are many things to be thankful about on the human side, although the only mage of the Great Wall was lured out of the trick, but survived the incredible ultra-long-range sniping, and the dead army suffered heavy losses under the fierce bombardment of the night watchmen, although they won one game, but the number was not more than before the war.

The remnants of the ghouls retreat into the Shadow Forest, and the battle is over. But the trouble the Stranger had caused to the Night's Watch was far from solved: Castle Black was now crowded with wild people, children were crying and calling out to their parents, women were desperately looking for their husbands, and men were angrily asking why the "ravens" had lowered the floodgates so early to cut off their people.

The Night's Watch had previously been able to ensure that the wildlings obediently disarmed, surrendered their food and vital livestock, and then accepted the arrangement, relying on the sheer numerical superiority and force superiority of each group of "new land-grantees", and semi-coerced them to accept the arrangement, but now ...... The number of dissatisfied, angry, or confused wildlings in Castle Black greatly outnumbered the number of Night's Watch and Mountain Clansmen, and this large group of people clearly had no intention of obeying orders at this moment.

"Get them out of the gates of Castle Black first, and only if we regain full control of the fortress can we continue the process of converting them into new landgrants. If there are not enough manpower, another hundred will be transferred from the queen's gate......"

Jon looked carefully at the huddled wildlings, and hesitated, "But these people fled in a hurry, didn't bring all the food, and just lost many relatives. Even so, do you still have to carry out the original plan?"

"The point is not to ask them to take out all their belongings and give them to the night watchman, but to teach them to use coins, and to put them on the first floor of the small social structure of the land grant, so as to manage them in the easiest way, understand, even if they lose most of their belongings in the escape, even if they have just lost many relatives outside the iron gate, they must not disrupt the plan, otherwise, the losses will only increase!" Egg shook his head: "Okay, you go and do it immediately, don't make a mess, I want to have a meeting with the commander-in-chief." ”

......

"How many of our brothers are on duty in the fence below today?"

"Thirty, and when the Commander-in-Chief opened the gates for the last time, ten came in to show the way for the savages. Of the remaining twenty, only Sir James was saved. ”

This is already a blessing in misfortune, but apparently there are still people who are not satisfied: "Nineteen brothers! In exchange for more than 2,000 mouths, they fled in such a hurry that they didn't even bring in all the food!"

Povin Marthy said this with his eyes fixed on Egger, apparently aimed at him, the Chief Affairs Officer was a typical conservative in the upper echelons of the Night's Watch, and had long been dissatisfied with Egger's radical plan, but Commander Mormont had always supported the latter...... This time there was such a big incident, and I can finally use this as a basis to criticize and attack the other party.

But the latter clearly does not intend to compromise.

"Lord Marcy thinks that those nineteen brothers are more important than these thousands of people who are about to become new grantees, and I dare not object to the touching comradeship. But as Chief Logistics Officer, I'm more accustomed to judging by numbers what happened We have lost nineteen brethren, but are about to receive nearly three thousand new grantees, and even if only one percent of them can fight, they will be able to make up for the losses. Egger said, "What's more, I'm sure you've heard of the concept of a spearwoman. ”

"Yes, female savages can also fight, out of three thousand, maybe a thousand can fight, and I admit that when the strange spirits are killed under the Great Wall, they will be on our side...... But what if they rebelled against the water and caused chaos in the Black Castle today, or if one day they joined forces with the remaining wildlings who had left the army and fled in the Shadow Forest to attack the Great Wall?"

"We seem to have discussed this issue and the onus is on me on how to stop this from happening. Iger shrugged: "Take control of Mansred and his family, and disperse all the tribes that may be united...... With a complete social system, within half a year, they will be as peaceful and hard-working as the peasants in any part of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"Don't quarrel about it anymore, I've chosen Egger's risky plan, and it's too late to regret it. Mormont knocked on the table and interrupted the conversation: "The wild people in the castle, have you driven them out?"

"Jon is in charge. ”

"How to deal with such a large group of people?"

"Temporarily placed outside Castle Black, in the ruins of the former Mole Village. When reinforcements from the Queen's Gate and Sable Hall arrived, they surrounded their temporary residences and forced them to become new land-giveaways as they had done in previous waves. ”

"You should have noticed that the people who passed through the Great Wall today carried far less food than the previous batches of wildlings, which made our material situation worsen again, how to solve it?"

"Start the second step of our plan in advance, and it will take 10 to 20 days to get the new donors used to 'taking money to do things'. Iger replied: "Then, I will organize a large-scale 'grain transport' to organize two to three thousand people to go south to the north to the area harassed by the iron people, and bring back the grain. ”

"I'm afraid the savages won't be so obedient to work for you. ”

"I'll pretend to be there only to 'stumble' the Iron Folk occupy half of the North, and tell them that if we don't get rid of these pirates and get food from the North, we'll starve to death in the winter. At that point, they will not be able to do it. ”

"If we want to take advantage of this invasion of the Iron Folk and make a contribution and get food from the princes of the North, we will have to hurry up. Maester Aemon coughed and said tremblingly, "The latest news from the south is that King Stannis did not regain Storm's End, but returned to defeat the Riverbend Army...... This was a real defeat, and it is said that even the Earl of Tully was shot by a stray arrow while trying to collect the rout, and he was killed on the spot. ”

Mormont frowned, "Sam knows?"

"No, but it's just a matter of saying that I haven't received a corpse, so I can't be sure. The old bachelor shook his head and continued: "In addition, there is news from the Long Night Castle that they bumped into several people who tried to sneak into the fortress Three children, a tall fool, judging from the description, it should be Branstark and Reed Sister and Brother Correct, what should be done with this?"

Bran Stark was actually stopped before he went out of the wall?

Egger was a bit of a surprise, and it seemed that the Green Prophet was not omnipotent. Strictly speaking, however, Bran's failure to get out of the wall was largely due to his land-grant resettlement program, which filled the area along the Great Wall...... Does this hurt the Green Prophet again, and will he be hated again?

He was uneasy, Bran was about this, and the Green Prophet would never stop and admit defeat...... No matter what measures he takes, at least himself, he will never take the initiative to interfere again.

......

Mormont didn't know what was behind the little bear boy's runaway, he touched his chin, and without much thought, he decided: "Send someone back to Winterfell." ”

The Chief Ranger reminded, "But this must be done by the Night's Watch who knows the way, and the people inside and outside the Night's Castle are now inhabited by the new landowners, and they don't have the ability to get people to Winterfell safely." ”

"And King's Road is still being harassed by the Iron Min, and in my opinion, just like the last time Miss Stark came, send someone to keep an eye on the three children, and send the news back to Winterfell, so that they can send someone to pick it up themselves. ”

"That's fine, Master Aemon, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

The blind bachelor nodded, as the weather became colder day by day, his body seemed to be getting worse and worse, and he had just finished reporting two new news, and at this moment he seemed to have no strength to speak.

Mormont looked around the room and nodded with a serious expression: "Okay, the meeting will be dismissed today, and the relevant personnel will go outside to keep an eye on it, and make sure that the savages who passed through today are evacuated outside the fortress wall as soon as possible...... And send patrols to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't run around. 2k reading network
