Chapter 292: The Poor Dagger (Medium)

Being pointed at with a murder weapon, Jaime showed no nervousness. With a light smile, he kept his eyes on Carter and reached for his waist...... Holding the steel sword forged by Lanniport's finest blacksmith steadily, he slowly drew it, the blade rubbing against the metal ring of the sheath to make a hoarse sound, although the sound was extremely slight, but it made the hairs of many present stand on end.

The movement of the monarch killer seemed to be slow, mellow and smooth, and in a breath, he also put on a fighting posture: "If you have to be rough, then you are ...... can only be accompanied. ”

The black-clad soldiers on the lookouts let out bursts of gasp and exclamation.

Patrols outside the walls have long since ceased, the wildlings are no longer a threat, the armies of strangers and dead have not yet invaded the Wall again, and the Night's Watch has been preparing for the battle, only to be met with boring elections day after day for months - 100 days have passed since the unexpected death of Commander Jeo Mormont, and the defenders of the Wall have not even chosen a new leader, and the grassroots soldiers have long been fed up with the status quo, waiting for something big to happen.

The return of the Chief Logistics Officer a few days ago brought a hint of life to Castle Black, and the one-sided outpouring of anger was widely talked about by the soldiers, but: although the face was torn apart, the struggle between the two factions was still in fact limited to a secret wrestling, and the competition under the stage, although equally thrilling, was difficult for most of the Night's Watch soldiers to feel...... On the bright side, Castle Black is still a pool of stagnant water, and it is not until today that there is finally an interesting change!

The night watchmen who noticed that there was a play to watch put down what they were doing and leaned over, gathered in a circle, only the bench melon seeds, and they could sit comfortably and watch the show.

The two confronted each other, observing each other's movements in circles, and each other's followers also put down their clutter or trivial matters and stood behind the leaders of both sides according to their respective weapons, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

***

The skill of the monarch killer has been heard of throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and Carter Pike has also heard of it. But he knows that a high-ranking disciple like Jaime is often exaggerated by others, and it is difficult to say how much of his true ability is rumored - today, he has to weigh the pounds and taels of the good hand who killed two kings in front of him!

His mind was made up, and his body was ready for battle, but as soon as they were paired, Carter Pike was a spirit. He instantly realized that he was facing the most difficult opponent he had ever faced in his life. Jaime just casually walked to that station, holding his weapon in an ordinary, unfancy gesture of preparation, as if no matter which direction he attacked, he couldn't catch any flaws or holes.

This is a very different opponent from the Iron People he got along with when he was younger, the wildlings he faced when he became a Night Watchman, and even the Southern nobles who occasionally joined the Night Watch, and this is the first opponent that Carter Pike has encountered in his life, which cannot be solved by sheer bravery.

"Stop!"

Just when the battle between the commander of the East Sea and the Monarch Slayer was about to break out, a shout of anger rang out, interrupting their preparations.

"What are you doing!!?" Alarmed by the commotion here, several high-ranking officials of Castle Black finally came out of their quarters and came to the scene, and the chief ranger, Sir Jeremy Lake, asked angrily, "Jaime, can you explain what you are doing here?"

"On the orders of Commander Thomon of Mormont, the transfer of the King of the Outer Fortress and his family to the safety of Houguan Town has been approved by the Chief Logistics Officer, who promised that Houguan Town will prepare space to accommodate the Mans Red family. Jaime still held his sword and did not move: "It is strange that Master Carter Pike, the commander of the Eastern Sea Watch, suddenly jumped out and tried to stop me. ”

"Jaime, if I'm not mistaken, you're a Ranger. The Chief Ranger said coldly, "Regardless of whether your dream statement is made up or not, even if it is true, why don't you come to me, your direct commander, first, to discuss it, and instead go to talk to the logistics department?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I didn't think it through, so I beg your pardon. Jaime was polite, but he didn't put away his steel sword, nor did he give the slightest hint of repentance asking for forgiveness.

"Remember your first offense, and don't pursue it. Now, put away your weapons and let the King of the Cypriots go back to the Hardin Tower. I will arrange for manpower to step up security to ensure their safety. ”

Jaime didn't move, in fact, he didn't even glance at the Chief Ranger, just standing silently like a pine tree in front of the carriage with the Mance Rader family's luggage, sword raised and confronting Carter Pike, who was wielding a battle axe. Although he didn't say a word, the contemptuous look on his face was clearly to say: What are you to mean to me, a Lannister?

......

"It seems that our 'monarch killer' has made up his mind to disobey his orders and protect his savage female cousin!" A snort came out coldly, and Jon Royce, who had gone to gather helpers, also returned to the scene with a dozen heavily armed people, standing behind Carter Pike.

The people in the Black Castle, except for the one who stood guard on the top of the Great Wall, were basically all together, except for the King of Saiwai's family, who was about to be transferred, everyone was dressed in black. Although they were dressed similarly, they were clearly divided into four groups - more than 40 members of the Westfrontiers gang led by Jaime, more than 30 members of the East Sea Watch delegation led by Carter Pike and a small number of Castle Blacks, and many high-ranking members of the Night's Watch and their immediate followers...... and the largest number of ordinary soldiers watching the play.

The former Earl of Runestone's "Savage Female Cousin" Var is standing behind Jaime at the moment, looking like a bird and a man who is all in charge of him, and it is indeed difficult not to doubt the relationship between them, and to some extent, it confirms Jon's statement from the side.

Jaime glanced at the speaker, but didn't reply. He is the son of Tywin Lannister, the heir of the former West, and a famous regaslayer of the Seven Kingdoms...... But at this moment, when he is being stabbed against him, he is a warrior. Carter Pike was not an unarmed farmer, and he instinctively focused on his opponent in the face of this strong, experienced soldier with a weapon.

But the person known as the "Savage Female Cousin" was not happy, and Var lifted the hood over his head and stared at Jon Royce with a serious expression.

"Lord Royce, the woman you spoke of, but me?"

"Whether it's you or not, you know it in your own heart. ”

"Huh...... Since there is only one lady in Castle Black, apart from me and my sister, Melisandre is the only lady, I assume that you are talking about me, my lord. "Varre's blonde hair, still shining in the meager winter sun, and with the same haughty look as Jaime, said that she was a noble lady of the Seven Kingdoms, and even one of Jaime's sisters, there was a letter: "I have to take the liberty of pointing out the question of your words—the Savage Cousin, as far as I know, your former Commander-in-Chief has classified the surrendered Freedmen as New Land-givers, and forbiddens them to be used again." The word 'savage' calls us, and as soon as you opened your mouth, you first violated an order of the former governor, is it because the others are dead, so you are unscrupulous?"

And use the orders of that guy in Mormont to oppress people? Egger has learned this trick even to the savages!

Ignoring Carter and Jon's gnashing of teeth, Vale continued to speak to herself, "As for the adults calling me 'cousins'...... I'm sorry, but I don't know where to start, but for the past twenty years or so, I've lived in a freedfolk town far from the Great Wall, and I have had nothing to do with the defenders of the Great Wall. And since moving into the Great Wall, you have stayed in the tower honestly and never went out—why did you open your mouth to such a vulgar insult when you had never slept with any man on the south side of the Wall? Guess what I was thinking at the moment? Compared to me—you are more like a wild man. ”

This toothy, sharp-mouthed female savage!

If it weren't for the completely different looks and voices, Jon would have almost suspected that the Var in front of him was a disguise. He stared gloomily at the beautiful woman in front of him, who even looked like a good match for Jaime, and considered the words of the counterattack...... But the rest of the officers at Castle Black clearly did not intend to let this farce continue.

"That's enough!" the Chief Ranger roared in exasperation, "Jaime Lannister, get your men to carry Mance Rader and his family's luggage back to Hardin Tower at once, Master Carter...... Please take your people out of the courtyard and let this farce come to an end!"

"I'm not done yet!" cried out Varre, a sharp female voice piercing more penetrating than Sir Jeremy Lake's rich male voice, "I know that the Night's Watch are running for Commander-in-Chief, but I don't know or want to know about your grievances and philosophical differences—but I know that if something happens to my brother-in-law, the Night's Watch will not be able to appease all the obedient freedmen easily, and the land grant will be in chaos!

She stretched out her hand and drew an arc, and her slender fingers unceremoniously pointed at the night watchmen in the East China Sea: "A while ago, there were unidentified people sneakily observing our family outside the window, and now, I know who is planning to disrupt us—whoever prevents us from moving is determined to be the murderer!"

The onlookers of the night watchman were in an uproar, and immediately exchanged their heads and began to talk about it.

Chief Ranger Jeremy Lake frowned, and turned to look at Chief Affairs Officer Bowen Marcy: "You have the most people in charge of Castle Black, have you heard the relevant rumors?" ”

***

Bowen's face was not very good-looking, of course he heard it, and it was heard by his own ears from the mouths of the two direct plotters, Carter and Jorne...... A few days ago, the two had come to the door to try to convince themselves to participate.

It was a deviant and despicable plan, and he almost didn't hesitate to reject it when he first heard of it—but in the end, his hatred of the wild man overcame his disgust at the evil plan, and he finally decided not to participate in it or tear it down.

The failure to succeed proves that Carter is not capable of ...... Iger is hopeless, and Carter will be busy clearing his name...... He will command the Night's Watch to suppress the Wildling Rebellion, and with this feat, he will rejoin the campaign and bring the Defenders of the Wall back on track, leaving his mark on the history of the Night's Watch.

Everyone will have their own careful thoughts, but now, the matter has been pierced in public by Var, even if Bowen knows and calculates clearly, it is impossible to admit it.

He shook his head unchanged: "I haven't heard of it, but it can't be ruled out that Carter and Jorn do have this idea...... We should increase the number of guards in the Harding Tower to prevent the impulse of the brethren from coming into trouble. ”

The Chief Affairs Officer has always been known for his loyalty and integrity among the Night's Watch, and Jeremy didn't doubt his statement in the slightest, nodding and turning his face away, "Miss Varr, your concerns are not unreasonable, and we will send more reliable Night's Watch brothers to protect you and your family...... Now, do me a favor and convince your friend Jaime to lay down his arms and go back to Hardin's Tower!"

"You are a good man, and I respect you, Sir Ryke!" Var was unmoved, "but those with bad intentions will not abandon their plot just because I expose them in public, and I will not joke with my own life...... Who knows if the one who rushed to Hardingtower and raped me and even stabbed me in the heart at the end would be the one sent by the Night's Watch to protect me!"

This was a bit excessive, and many of the night watchmen felt insulted, muttering dissatisfiedly and even teasing and insulting the "savage princess" who spoke.

In the midst of the noise, the main lord Jaime once again expressed his attitude: "Today, the family of the king of the outside must be transferred to Houguan Town, there is no room for negotiation, and those who want to stop will step over my corpse!"

"What a big breath!" Originally, Carter Pike, who saw someone persuading him, didn't plan to do it again, but he couldn't suppress his anger anymore when he heard the words: "Then let me see the ability of the 'monarch killer'!"

The situation changed so quickly that no one could have expected it, and in the midst of the shouts of the onlookers watching the vigil, the exasperations of officers such as the chief ranger and the craftsman, and the shrill screams of Ware, the commander of the East Sea Lookout brandished his battle axe and rushed towards Jaime Lannister.
