As far as Iger knew, there were no weapons or military preparations for dragons in the North, and with the north-south shipping blocked by the Targaryen fleet on Dragonstone and Stannis in King's Landing unable to provide external equipment and technical support, even with Rego's dragon alone, Daenerys would be able to run rampant in the North.

In addition, the land-giving army that had just defeated and eliminated the invading Stranger was definitely not low in combat effectiveness by relying on an efficient command system that was rare in its contemporaries, a good level of combat literacy and training, and the morale that was flourishing after the great victory. As long as you cooperate with Brother Lei a little, you can step into the ...... No, "step-dragon synergy", the land grant and the dragon queen are completely invincible militarily.

Is that really the case?

Egger was puzzled by the results of his own simple strength assessment, frowned and carefully reviewed the judgment process, and quickly found the loophole.

Conflict, divided into hot war and cold war, just talking about war may be true of Iger is true, but you must know ...... The land grant he controlled, which was only theoretically a force equivalent to the Seven Kingdoms, actually had a rather complex and unstable internal composition.

Tywin once said, "Some victories are won by swords and spears, while others are won by pen and paper and letter crows." ”

If you are the decision-maker in the North, who does not have perfect means to deal with dragons, and who really wants to oppose the Night's Watch breaking neutrality and fighting for the Iron Throne for the Dragon Queen, there is actually a better option than to start a war and intervene by force: use soft power to solve the problem in a bloodless or bloodless way.

......

The Wraiths have been repulsed, and the three major forces of the land grants: the foreign mountain clansmen, the newly surrendered people, and the original night watchmen, have lost their greatest reason for unity. At the same time, his supreme leader, is neither a natural lord nor a ruler in the ordinary sense, nor does he have his own family and heirs, let alone teachers and disciples - he has a firm and very strong control over the land grant on the surface, but I am afraid that it is not as stable as the control of any earl in the north over the fief - the legitimacy of the power and the legitimacy of what he does is his biggest shortcoming and weakness at the moment, and the north does not need to be able to defeat the entire land grant, as long as he can overthrow himself!

The Starks only need to contact the hill clans to take a stand, and at the same time declare their support for the Cypriots to choose their own stay, and then contact the opposition within the Night's Watch to coordinate with the outside world......

There are not many Game of Thrones players in the north, but the other party can't think of this move, but he must not be unprepared for this move. The three stinky people will be Zhuge Liang, in case these rough people think of the right idea through discussion, they can easily weaken the strength in their hands without too clever means, so that he will be in a hurry, and then make mistakes in his busyness!

How can I prevent it?

Don't panic, it's the easiest and most straightforward way...... The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

Iger took a deep breath and began to think about what to do.

＊＊＊

Among the three forces of land granting, the mountain clan should be the best to settle. Don't look at how nominally part of the North they are, and how rumored they are to respect Eddard and how loyal they are to House Stark...... It was in the North, where they were mildly restricted: they were hardly required to pay taxes and food, and they were not required to serve as conscripts—there was no conflict of interest, and there was naturally harmony.

However, in this bitter winter, it was the Night's Watch Legion, or more precisely, the Logistics Department, that provided them with clothing, food, territory, and houses, and fought alongside them against the southbound wildlings and invading strangers. As long as you talk to those clan chiefs first, and promise enough benefits such as a permanent territory to give away land, it may be a little difficult for them to build the northern border, but just asking them not to be used as a knife to stab themselves by the Stark family should not be much of an obstacle.

Then there are the "new donors" who joined the latest and have the largest proportion of numbers. These Cypriot visitors gathered under the banner of Mance Rader to escape the threat of the Strangers, and after being blocked by the Night's Watch outside the Great Wall, they broke their wrists and reduced themselves in exchange for admission to the Cypriots...... Under the strict management of the night watchman's "stick and turnip", although there were still many incidents, the great contribution to the development of land grants and the war must not be erased. Now that the existence of occupying their homes and forcing them to leave their homeland has disappeared, there must be both those who are willing to continue to be well-fed, warmly clothed, safe and secure residents of the Seven Countries after the war, and those who are unwilling to be "kneeling" and want to return to the Cypriot Territory to enjoy "freedom" and the per capita resources that have become richer after the great decline of the population.

This kind of division is the weapon that is most likely to be used by external forces against itself at present.

By claiming that "it's still not safe outside the plug", Iger can put the trouble back for a while, but he can't get around the problem after all. Well, perhaps, it's time to put the "pro-Seven Nations people" who invested in education and training in the early stage, the cult of personality that has already laid a solid foundation, and the public opinion to build momentum to seize the lead.

Playing tricks is what he is good at, the idea is certain, the general idea is quickly formed, and then ......

The Night's Watch Legion, even if it has reduced its own restrictions and lowered the barriers to entry and greatly expanded its strength, is still the force with the smallest number of land grants. However, it was this least group of people that made Iger the most feared - through the improvement of his treatment since taking office and the excellent performance in the preparation of the defense against the aliens, he did suppress the opposition and doubts, and made the officers and soldiers up and down the regiment respect and obey him. But he knew very well that this state of affairs would only exist if he had diligently discharged his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch and prepared for a common challenge. Now that the enemy has been eliminated, and he, the commander-in-chief, has begun to do "things out of the ordinary", how much discipline can be maintained, it is really impossible to predict it by simple rational judgment.

Blackshirts, Oath Brothers...... A common label, a common oath, and a common victory bind them together, and Iger is not good at using those ordinary methods simply and rudely on these people, and the experience and mind far beyond the mountain clans and the Cypriot foreigners also make many of these officers highly resistant to deception, especially worse: after defeating themselves and their own forces, the positions of commander-in-chief + a bunch of high-ranking people will be vacated in the Night's Watch Legion— This alone is enough for countless old-school night watchmen to respond to the north and plan and cooperate with their own plots.

On the contrary, their own people are the most motivated to turn the gun against themselves.

Fortunately, moving the Night's Watch headquarters from the Great Wall to Houguan Town has provided an excellent buffer and separation zone between himself and the old-school Night's Watch, as long as he is vigilant and guards against every black-clothed brother who is not a roadside like an enemy, Egger may have to deal with a little trouble, but at least he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded and stabbed dozens of times all of a sudden.

was planning to block all kinds of open guns and arrows and countermeasures step by step, when a familiar female voice sounded in his ears.

"Commander-in-Chief, it took me a lot of effort to persuade me to bring those people not to be your enemies, but you can think about it...... What happened to your little prophet?"

......

It was Melisandre, who, along with Marchiro, Egger and others, accompanied the queen to oversee the construction of the temporary dragon's lair, and at this moment Daenerys was fully engaged in ignoring the entourage, and there were not so many worries to consider the red-robed priests, which seemed unusually relaxed and pleasant.

The priestess just asked casually without any trouble, but at once dragged back to the center of his mind two things that had been forgotten by Egger: the so-called "people she brought" naturally referred to the nobles who were originally loyal to Stannis, but followed Melisandre to the Wall to support the Night's Watch because of their fanatical belief in the Lord of Light...... Melisandre, as a "fire bun friend", can really be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

As for the "Little Prophet", he is talking about Bran Stark, who returned to the Seven Kingdoms after a trip outside the Cyprus. Although he had joined the Night's Watch and taken his oath in Egger's personal witness, as a Stark and a heretic who had suddenly attained supernatural powers, both Egg and the two high-ranking Red God priests had been on his guard.

Coincidentally, after the night of the Battle of Long Lake, Bran suddenly fell into a continuous coma, spent most of the day sleeping, and woke up by chance, only to explain that he had consumed too much energy in the confrontation with the Night King and needed a good rest...... While it was indeed a powerful explanation, to be honest, Iger was suspicious of this presence-reducing routine—it did work, and no, he almost ignored him.

Such a guy with great magical powers, and his position is unknown, but he can't kill it out of many considerations, what do you want to do next after solving the strange ghost...... It's a bit chilling to think about.

"You two, can you tell if he's really overburned and unconscious?

"It's true that a lot of energy is expended, but I wonder if it's too much to sleep and rest all the time. Macchiro said lightly, "Of course, there is no evidence...... Since it was the kid who brought the Lightbringer back from the Cypriot, I don't want to speculate on him too badly, and I'm afraid the adults will have to make up their own minds. ”

Egg nodded slowly in understanding, and sighed: "Well, I know, how to place him, I know in my heart." ”

It's strange that there are a lot of things, how can you still think about this?

However, if such a huge variable is taken out of account, the consequences can be devastating when things go wrong.

What the hell should I do? Lie in bed tonight and think about it.

As soon as this decision was made, another soldier came running over panting to report the situation.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, in the backyard of the main fort of Fireplace City, I found a boiling house built by the original residents of this place, and there is still a large amount of nitrate that has been produced in it, what should I do?"
