Chapter 497: Turn the Gun Head

Anti-Z people, Z class, z crimes!

Although more than 5,000 of the more than 5,000 people present had never heard such a statement, this phrase made up of three all-too-common words, "opposite", "human" and "crime", had the same contagion as "gold coin circulation"—enough to make people of any culture and cognitive level understand its meaning at a glance, and it immediately detonated the mood of the entire oath-taking meeting.

Iger looked at the ...... in the audience with satisfaction The people, who were muttering the new words they had brought into the world, suddenly began to become the same enemy, vaguely recalled the scene a month ago when they also gathered their troops here to go south to pursue the strange spirits. At that time, almost all of them had helplessness and reluctance on their faces, but everyone knew that the battle had to be fought before they had no objection, and at this moment, before he even announced the target of the battle, the soldiers were already gearing up, looking eager to devour the enemy alive.

Anger and hatred are always the most powerful subjective motivations, and Egger deliberately directs this emotion to brew and ferment, and at the right moment, he removes the ballast stone that weighs on it, and then lights a fire to completely release its power. In this flame called emotion, even the most rational anti-war or peaceful cries will be drowned in such a noble goal as "for mankind", and will be helplessly baked to ashes.

The atmosphere was in place, but Iger was becoming more and more sober: emotions were such a thing as only three minutes hot, and by the time the army had caught up with a few days of rapid marching in the icy snowfield, at least half of the army would have subsided and retreated. Therefore, in addition to the reason for going to war, Iger also needs some "hope" so that his army's will to fight can continue smoothly.

......

"I believe that there must be more than one person in the audience who thinks like this: Who cares about this? The threat of the strangers has been eliminated, let me move back to the outside of the city to be a free citizen, and I will never deal with the anti-Z people and Z things in the south for the rest of my life, who cares what they do?" Iger raised his hand to signal the officers in the audience to control the scene, and continued to add fuel to the fire without leaving any room for the slightest: "That's right, after playing with the dead and the strangers for several years, and finally the war is over, can't you enjoy a moment of respite?" I don't want to accuse this mentality, but I can't help but ask people who think this way: After surrendering and hiding on the Great Wall in the face of the aggressive attack of the strange ghosts, as soon as they saw that their threat was weakened, they happily returned to the outside of the Great Wall, and continued to be a 'wild man' who is not qualified to set foot in the south of the Great Wall, and once he crosses the line, everyone will shout and beat him like a rat crossing the street, is this really 'freedom'?"

"No, living in the north of the Great Wall is uncontrolled, that is not called freedom, it is called barbarism! Only when you wake up every day, you don't have to worry about starving and freezing today, and when you fall asleep every night, you don't have to be afraid that you may not be able to wake up tomorrow morning; if you want to escape the heat and blow the cold wind outside the fortress, you can get out of the tunnels of the Great Wall, if you want to go back to the fortress to bask in the sun and enjoy the warmth, you can ride a horse along the main road to the south; you can walk into every village and town in the world with your head held high and without worrying about being threatened by the sword and your life...... This is the true, dignified freedom!"

"We are human beings, and we cannot only seek to 'survive' like animals! We must also have the space to live and the least respect, and have the wealth and assets to enjoy life—and these are the things that every warrior who has fought alongside me against the natural enemies of mankind deserves! My mission as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and master of the Great Wall has come to an end, but my task as a co-leader who unites us and is trusted and relied on by you is far from over. As long as there is one of those present who has not yet won the respect and recognition of the inhabitants of the Seven Kingdoms, and has not yet had a resting place of his own, I will never rest!

The last sentence was shouted to the guards who had accompanied him when they had just left the city gates, and they had left the Inner Fort with several box-like objects that had been prepared in advance, as Iger had requested. Although the goods looked big but not too heavy, even the person who carried it didn't know what was inside, and at this moment, as he was ordered by the commander-in-chief and sent to the high platform, the answer was finally revealed.

Iger walked over to the unloaded box and lifted the black cloth that covered it, and the crows who suddenly saw the light in the cage jumped up and down and croaked.

......

The unanimous anger is there, and the touching goals are hung out, and now, these well-fed black birds will achieve the final high tide of the end of this drama.

Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience with excitement and curiosity, he boldly opened the wooden door of the first crow cage.

"In the name of crimes against the Z people, the Night Watch has declared war on the Riverlands and the Valley! These two countries have always been allies in the North and have good relations with the land grants, but they have failed to live up to our trust by standing by and watching the Great Wall when it needs support the most!"

More than a dozen sturdy letter crows flapped their wings and flew out of the first open cage, struggling to climb to the heights with the letters strapped to their bodies, and the scene looked exhilarating and unremarkable. However, only a few people present knew that the letters carried by these birds were not the "declaration of war" that everyone thought - Egger had put a lot of effort into wartime information control to ensure the success of the first surprise attack, and of course he would not be stupid enough to send dozens of letter crows with war declarations in advance to create an opportunity to leak military movements.

The contents of those letters were really just declarations of the same political position, as commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, to persuade the Seven Nations to pledge allegiance to the true and legitimate monarch, Daenerys Targaryen.

The news of the Night's Watch's support for the Dragon Queen had already spread across the Narrow Sea, and such a letter that would not be unexpected or even to most of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms would probably be like the countless letters for help that the Night's Watch had sent before— The lords would sneer at a glance and throw them into the waste paper pile, and Iger deliberately wasted his precious letter transportation capacity to release these letter crows with nonsense tied to his body in public, just to use this performance to leave a strong first impression on the upcoming southern expedition to the Seven Kingdoms, which is destined to leave a mark on history.

The first crows flew south and soon disappeared into the snow, and before the people could come to their senses, Iger opened the second cage without stopping.

"In the name of anti-Z people, Z class Z crimes, the Night's Watch Legion declares war on Riverbend and Dorne! These two countries are far away in the south, and they always think that there are tall men who will stand up to them when the sky falls, so they are dead-skinned and never fulfill any obligation to fund the defense of the Great Wall, which is extremely shameless!"

Several more black shadows came out of the cage and flew into the sky - if the soldiers present knew that the population of Guanghewan alone was hundreds of times that of the donated land, most of them would not be excited. Fortunately, in this era when the census does not exist at all, ordinary people only know what kind of "numerous" method is the large population of Hewandi, and nine and a half out of ten people can't say why, and they don't know the comparison of strength, so naturally they can't talk about how fearful they are.

This was true for the officers of the Logistics Guard, and it was even easier for the new grantees: in their eyes, who knew nothing about the southern capital of the Westeros Wall, the so-called "Seven Kingdoms" were probably seven very large tribes, no matter how terrifying, they could never be more than the White Ghost and the Living Dead - interestingly, although the arguments were confusing and missing, the conclusion was correct.

The participants of the pledge meeting were crowded, all of them inhaled cold air in excitement or admiration for the proud declaration of war of their commander-in-chief, but they all lowered their voices and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of making noise and making them unable to listen to this wonderful show that made people's scalps tingle.

"In the name of anti-Z people, Z class Z crimes, the Night's Watch Legion declares war on the Stormlands and the King's Domain! The Baratheon family on the Iron Throne won the throne by rebellion, but they dared to claim to be the right lord of the Seven Kingdoms, but when the people of the kingdom faced an unprecedented crisis, the face of the puppet king was exposed!"

As the declaration accusing Stannis of being the puppet king landed, the third crow cage was opened, and at the same time as the last black shadow soared into the air, in countless expressions of anticipation and unpleasantness, Egger summed up this "expedition oath" that deviated from the original plan for 108,000 miles.

"Today, we will not go out of the fortress, we will go on an expedition in the other direction! The nobles of the south think we are a threat, then we will be a threat to them! They do not believe in the existence of the strange spirits and insist that this is a lie made up by us, then it is our duty to pull them down from the castle and the throne and send them outside the fortress, so that they can also experience the truth of cold and fear!" He waved his hand and shouted the last sentence hoarsely: "Go! Go south along the King's Road, the target - the whole world!"
