"First of all, the two urgent tasks of settling the wounded and burning the corpses were completed, and the camp was set up on the spot. Inconsequential work is carried out at dawn...... Although the victory has been achieved, personnel are still on duty at night as usual, and especially reliable people are sent to watch the queen, and no accidents must occur...... Whether it's from Your Majesty himself or someone else!"

Warner Bukewell nodded: "I will personally take care of this, rest assured." ”

The composition of the night watchman and the land-giver is complex, and when dealing with the strangers, everyone is a human and can work together to twist into a rope, but how many people still have the heart and motivation to continue to fight for the queen after this thrilling battle of ice and fire?

Among those who obey him, only the original members of the Night's Watch industry who are completely loyal to him, and the aristocratic radicals within the Night's Watch who need a "springboard" to change their fate and interests like himself, can barely be trusted...... All have a motive and a reason not to participate in Egger's pursuit of the Queen, and may even be persuaded and bribed to deal with the Queen.

Right now, Iger not only has to be careful himself, but he also has to further extend this caution to cover the representatives of the camp he has joined!

......

After giving a stern admonition to Sir Butwell, the leader of the aristocratic faction, and receiving an affirmative answer, Egger led dozens of guards through the devastated battlefield by the messenger soldiers, and arrived outside the camp of the northern army.

"Egger. ”

Robb Stark was greeted by several nobles with torches, sitting on a pile of miscellaneous items. Seeing that this northern guardian was holding his knees and looking weak and unable to straighten his waist, he was obviously injured, but he couldn't see where the injury was for the time being.

"Master Stark. Iger replied with greetings.

As the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and the prophesied hero, Iger was also unusually fully armed and mentally prepared to participate in the battle himself, but his luck was much better than that of the Guardian of the North: he shouted "All the army is attacking", and then he charged with everyone, only to be able to clear the victory before half of the ghouls rushed into the battlefield - unscathed, and he had a good reputation as a pioneer, and he flew with joy.

In the past, Iger would probably thank or compliment Robb for leading his army north to participate in this battle. But now, his status has changed: as a vassal of the Queen, a member of the "anti-deer camp" can even be considered an important figure, and it would be very inappropriate for him to lower his stature and make unprincipled and purposeful overtures to the nobles of the opposing camp as before.

In this state, the dry greeting ended, and soon they had nothing to say, and they all shut up and were silent for a while, until a few seconds later, when the scene was really embarrassing, Robb reopened his mouth and knowingly provoked the topic.

"The Queen of House Targaryen here?"

"Well, it's in the Night's Watch at the moment. ”

Without thinking, Egg confesses that Daenerys is the only dragon rider known to the inhabitants of Westeros, and that there is no point in concealing or deceiving at this point.

"Why did she come to help us? No...... To put it another way, how could she be here at the right time?"

Iger shrugged: "When the threat of the strange spirits was imminent, I went south to ask King Stannis for help, but I did not get any support, but the ship was stopped by the queen's fleet as it passed through Blackwater Bay. When I met the queen by chance, I negotiated terms with her - as long as she could ride north after the Great Wall warning and help the Night's Watch win the battle, I would swear allegiance to her and lead the Night's Watch to reclaim the Iron Throne for her. ”

Iger had never counted on Stannis's help. However, the thought in his heart is the thought in his heart, and he can't always say on his face, "I have already started looking for a camp to take refuge in and waiting for an opportunity, and finally shop around and pick the dragon queen!" At this moment, it is naturally the only choice to throw the pot to Erlu, who is sitting on the Iron Throne, and create legitimacy for his actions on the grounds that the orthodox king is unwilling to support the night watch.

Robb frowned: "You never mentioned this, but you deliberately concealed it?"

What kind of nonsense is this asking?Ig held back his disdain, "Lord Stark, this is an internal matter of the Night's Watch, and I have no obligation or need to inform the North. ”

Really...... No, it should be said, it's far worse than Robb imagined. He wanted to ask Iger if he remembered the principle that the Night's Watch would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, but at the moment he was sore and had a hard time speaking, and after thinking about it, he felt that these questions were useless and like nonsense: how could Egg, as the commander-in-chief, not know the rules and oaths of the Night's Watch? He talked to the queen of the Targaryen family about these conditions, and it must have been a decision after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, how could he have the mouth to dissuade him?

If it is really not my race, its heart will be different. The words of the Earl of Cahoe a year ago quickly came true: the stranger in front of him, who had an incomparably brilliant brain, began to get out of control as soon as he took power!

There was a slight chill in his heart, and a wave of chagrin and anger floated, but unfortunately he was saved from the ghoul by the queen's dragon flame just now, and Robb really couldn't pull it down at the moment and immediately turned his face.

But he didn't speak, but a large number of the nobles under him were full of anger.

"Good calculation, Commander-in-Chief!" Clay Severn roared loudly, his father was killed in this bloody battle, and he became the new Earl of Severn City, outsiders would think that he was a blessing in disguise, but he was not happy, but full of grief: "You deliberately let the dead cross the Great Wall, and led them south to invade the north, don't you want to use the enemy's hand to weaken the power of the north, so that we can't stop you from licking the boots of the mad king's daughter?" You've succeeded, but I'll tell you: even if it's a northern border with a broken army, there's no problem in stopping the night watchman from causing chaos!"

＊＊＊

Iger had to admit that the people of the North did have reason to be so suspicious.

If the queen hadn't shown up, and had not intended to interfere in the Seven Kingdoms against the Night's Watch rules, the people of the North would at most feel that they had been a derelict member of their duty not to stop the strangers, and would never consider whether he had deliberately set up the enemy...... But now, Clay Severn's questioning also contains the suspicions of Robb Stark and many other northern nobles.

After all, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, who has become a "traitor", really has a great motive and reason to damage the North.

The Northern army fought the ghouls in a bloody battle, and then the dragons and the Night's Watch came out at the last minute to cut off the enemy's back and save the former...... The timing of the battle, and the timing of Egger's arrival with his army, seemed like a well-orchestrated script that anyone would murmur about afterwards. And in fact, the battle looks like it was planned, and it really wasn't because of a coincidence - but because: it was indeed a well-choreographed decisive battle, but it was not Egger who arranged it, but the Stranger!

The army of ghouls deliberately kept pace with the pursuing force, and when the land-giving army and the three dragons were close enough to reach a distance of just over a mile, they managed to "slaughter humans under the nose of the dragon queen", luring her out of the ground forces and into a trap. The land-granting army then arrived immediately, not because they had pinched the time, but because they had been acting in sync with the three dragons!

If the new leader of the strange ghosts succeeds and transforms the corpse dragon into a victory, then everyone present will have no idea whether they live or die. Even if it is not completely destroyed, it is bound to suffer heavy losses, and when the time comes, the two sides will be sympathetic, and the aggressive questioning of the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch by the nobles of the North will naturally not occur...... But now, relying on his knowledge of the enemy's tactics, Iger made the right tactical command like an unpredictable prophet, successfully thwarted the enemy's dying throes and minimized his own losses.

The victory is worth rejoicing, but suspicion and suspicion also immediately follow: dealing with the strange ghosts should be the duty of the night watchman, but now it is the northern border that has lost its troops, but the former has picked up a ready-made bargain, and by the way, he hugged the thigh of the remnants of the previous dynasty?

......

But, then again, Egger wasn't entirely innocent - he did have the idea of using his rivals to weaken the North to clear the way for him to go south. Just by rational thinking and analyzing the pros and cons...... Finally gave up:

It's the same as "I hope that the Queen's three dragons will all die with the ghosts"...... Expecting a hostile sapient creature that is uncommunicative and difficult to control to counterbalance a potential adversary within humanity is like the former king of the Vale who brought in the Andals to deal with other rivals who were also ancestors and ended up losing the entire kingdom.

So, after a little thought, this idea was decisively thrown into the garbage heap by him.

However, "thought" and "wanting" are, after all, two completely different things. Thinking is extremely complex and elusive, and if one is to be held accountable for ideas that have only flashed through one's mind and have never been seriously considered and intended to be put into action, then I am afraid that everyone in the world should be hanged.

"Fart! I'm going to really think about it, just stopping the queen or deliberately dragging it out for a few minutes, you won't have a chance to stand and talk to me right now, don't use your dirty brain to speculate on other people's thoughts!" "If I have the ability to control the direction of the aliens' attacks and control them to invade the north, why don't I take the Iron Throne and sit on my own, and still swear allegiance to the queen in exchange for her assistance in the battle? The defenders of Houguan Town have eliminated ten times as many ghouls under the walls as you have seen today!These are the cases that countless mountain clansmen and Winterfell soldiers who are visiting the Great Wall or staying in Houguan Town have all seen and participated, and can testify, and anyone is welcome to inquire and investigate. But there is a half-lie that I was caught by a stranger while I was sleeping! If you can't speak, shut up, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"

Egger's sonorous and powerful counterattack weakened everyone's suspicions, but the-for-tat and disrespectful attitude became the fuse that ignited everyone's emotions, and many northern nobles who had lost their troops and even lost their relatives immediately roared and became agitated, and even crowded and crowded, with a call to teach Iger a lesson on the spot. Fortunately, the latter had already expected that this showdown would not go well, and brought enough soldiers and guards - heavily armed black-clothed soldiers formed a human wall to wrap Iger in the middle, and a few exhausted and colorful nobles couldn't squeeze in at all, as for the mobilization of soldiers?

"Quiet!" robb yelled. He wanted to tell Egger that no one could stop you if you were determined to be a traitor, but don't want to die with the entire Night's Watch and the land. But a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that his mother and little sister were still in each other's hands, and immediately changed his words: "You make your own decisions, you are responsible for yourself." Let's not talk about that for now, are my mother and Arya okay?"
