Chapter 373: Twists and Turns (Part II)
As Daenerys stepped off the platform, her leather boots on the cold floor and the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Melisandre standing behind Egger finally took a deep breath - even a second before entering this hall, she was extremely sure that Egg was the prophesied prince, but at this moment, even if her personality was as stubborn as her, she was shaken.
Having the same gender and normal orientation, the witch was certainly not affected by the opposite-sex attraction exuded by the Mother of Dragons, but this did not prevent Melisandre from detecting the strong energy fluctuations emanating from Daenerys. This strange majesty that seemed to be magical, but slightly different, and temperamental but never so simple, was so obvious that it seemed to be spewing out of every pore of Daenerys's body every minute and every second, permeating her body, and becoming more and more intense as the distance decreased.
Is this the power of prophecy?
"Da", "Da", "Da...... The continuous footsteps finally stopped a meter in front of Egg, and the height difference of more than ten centimeters made Daenerys have to look up at Egg, which seemed to be a little weak, but unfortunately it was completely reversed in terms of real momentum - the dragon queen may not know where this aura on her body came from, but she obviously mastered the best way to use it: the distance between the two was shortened to one-twentieth of the original, and the attraction and oppression that Egg felt from her were strengthened by more than a hundred times.
If his mouth could speak without his brain, Iger would have agreed to the queen's request, if his legs could move freely, Iger would probably have fallen on one knee in submission, and if an organ in his crotch also had control over his body, he would definitely ......
Looking at the pair of lips that were close at hand, full of moisture and healthy texture without lip gloss, Iger swallowed. After standing straight and looking at Daenerys for a moment, he first affirmed the rational judgment of a moment ago: Daenerys is indeed beautiful, but it is by no means beautiful to the point of being "inhuman". Then, in the next second, he suddenly thought: this little queen is really very bold - she was not searched when she stepped on the island and entered Dragonstone Castle, and at this moment there was a spare small dagger stuck in the outside of her boots, but she actually approached him without fear, as long as she raised her leg and drew her knife, she reached out and stabbed ...... Stannis's throne was secured.
After assassinating the dragon queen in her imagination, Egg, who was mentally and physically tense, relaxed slightly: Daenerys actually knew that the sky-high price was asking for money, not to mention anything else, at least her IQ was normal.
......
The difference between "openly acknowledging her as the sole legitimate ruler of the Seven Kingdoms" and "swearing allegiance to her to fight for it" is that the Night's Watch only needs to make a statement without having to send a soldier or a sword to help Daenerys fight for the Iron Throne in exchange for her promise not to attack the Night's Watch property.
It seems to be a good loss, but in fact it is an impossible condition to accept: neutrality is a position in both an attitude and a physical sense, and neither is indispensable. Issuing a statement not to go to war sounds good, but it's actually nonsense - recognizing Daenerys as the rightful ruler automatically acquiesces to Stannis as the illegitimate usurper, and even if Iger has the ability to suppress opposition from within the Night's Watch, the moment this statement is issued, it is time for Automator to declare all-out war with the Deer Party.
If the Night's Watch forces are isolated overseas, it is not impossible to consider that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the land grant and the northern territory are one, and the two sides are also preparing to resist the strange ghosts side by side at this moment.
Before Egger could finish thinking, Daenerys added, "I understand what you're worried about - I'll allow you to return to the Wall and stabilize the situation before making a statement." I will also guarantee that before Stannis declares you a rebel and sends troops to encircle the Industrial Park, my army and navy will surround King's Landing and keep his soldiers inside the walls. ”
"Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, but this statement is completely contrary to the rules of neutrality of the Night's Watch. Egg grimaced, "Besides...... Your Majesty, are you the only legitimate ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and what is the need for this...... Or is it our turn to be judged by those of us who watch the Great Wall?"
The queen frowned.
"I don't care about the Night's Watch's rules, I'm talking to you about a deal. Take what you want, get what I want. Daenerys said categorically, "As for the judgment, do you think I want the approval of the Night's Watch to give me legitimacy to rule? No, the legitimacy of my rule comes from my blood and dragons! It's just that the whole country is watching, and I need someone with the reputation and weight to start this and bring the backwaters to the ground-as to whether this leader is the Martells, the Tyrells, or the Night's Watch, I don't care! Can the commander-in-chief understand this explanation?"
***
Of course I do, and I can say it completely, and few people know it better than Iger.
Growing up different, Daenerys must have been a person who despised rules and traditions. Because of this, in the long-term thinking about Egg's future, she has always been at the top of all other options: the little Aegon Egger has no idea, and it is impossible to convince the Starks to rebel. And a man like Stannis, who has already sat on the throne and is old-fashioned and dead-headed, will not tolerate Iger stretching out his hand to give away the land or even take off his black clothes...... Only Daenerys, the little queen who is "fighting the country", in order to achieve victory and realize her ideals and ambitions...... It is possible to care neither about Egger's status as a "non-native of Westeros", nor the black clothes he wears, everything is only about ability and loyalty.
When the war against the cold god ended with a victory on the human side, Egg, who did not want to wait for his life for the next war that would break out like the hundreds of commanders before him, must find a way to jump out of the land grant, and at that time, the Dragon Mother who returns to Westeros to compete for the throne will be an excellent springboard.
Defection to Daenerys Targaryen has always been the most crucial step in Eiger's belly, recruiting troops, hoarding grain and grass, training disciplined officers, and developing weapons and equipment that are ahead of his time...... On the surface, he is preparing to fight the Wraith, but secretly he is not gathering strength for the day when he needs to appear on the entire Westeros stage?
Although the Dragon Queen's request was excessive, it was not outrageous, and it even hit Egger's heart.
However, all of this can only be carried out under the full premise that "the war against the cold god ends with the victory of the human side". Even if something is planned, if it happens in the wrong place at the wrong time, it can be fatal!
***
"Understood......" Iger knew that he was now facing a terrible situation: Daenerys would never understand and accept these truths. If you were the queen and someone came up to you and said, "You promised me something first, and when I finish the matter at hand, I will come to you, do you believe it?" Iger asked himself if he would never believe it, "However, once this statement is released, the close cooperation between the Night's Watch and the North will collapse, and the impermeable defenses along the Great Wall will collapse......
"How much support can the North give the Night's Watch? Daenerys' originally friendly expression began to take impatience, "Once I have taken King's Landing and eliminated the Raiders, I will definitely send reinforcements to the Wall." If the army of ghouls and ghosts you reported is indeed true, I can even bring three dragons north to help, and the commander-in-chief is satisfied with such conditions?"
Not only is it satisfied, it can even be said to be overly generous, but it is a condition that Egger cannot accept: even if the queen captures King's Landing, and then transfers troops to the Great Wall by sea, it will take at least a month or two, and Yuanshui can't solve the fire!
What happened to put yourself in such an embarrassing and dilemma?
Egger's brow furrowed for a moment, and he finally figured out why he felt strange throughout the conversation: he didn't want to ask Daenerys to support the Wall in the first place......! It can be said that it is fair to exchange the value of the knowledge and information contained in this incomplete version of the "Analects" for a gesture of effort. The missing part of the "Analect" itself is an opportunity for the two sides to contact and exchange again in the future, and it also lays a dark line for himself to finally take advantage of the queen's momentum to get out of the land gift......
Egger hoped that the queen would agree, but in the end, it didn't matter if he didn't: as long as he was allowed to leave Dragonstone, he would naturally return to King's Landing Industrial Park, thinking of saving the country by other means, and continuing to maintain the production and collection of nitrate. However, Daenerys showed abnormal friendliness and overly strong expectations from the beginning, completely ignoring her own intentions and true intentions, and wishful thinking to start this so-called "transaction...... Egg didn't plan to negotiate with her at all, what the hell could he negotiate?
The most awkward aspect of the current situation is that the impasse in the negotiations is not caused by the bad will of any one side, but because it should not have started in the first place. Daenerys made it possible for Daenerys to go north to help in exchange for a statement of legitimacy from the Night's Watch, which can be said to be quite sincere in terms of gold content. But the northern border, which has not been seriously injured, and the land grant with strong soldiers and horses, do not need the queen's help.
The queen offered kindness, but Iger had to refuse, which was why the situation finally came to this point. It's just that Daenerys's peculiar aura was too strong, and it interfered with Egg's thinking before, so that he didn't understand what was going on until this moment.
So, what exactly is it or who is it...... Let Daenerys have this unprovoked affection and expectation for herself, and even uninvited, offered to go north to join the war against the strangers?
Egger's gaze swept across the room, eventually resting on the red-robed monk standing in the corner, who looked at what it should be Melisandre's colleague.
Could it be, it's the devil again?
"Your Majesty!" Before Egger could speak, Petyr shouted out anxiously, "After taking King's Landing, take advantage of the situation to control the entire royal realm, and then try to get the Seven Kingdoms to recognize your identity, unify Westeros and restore peace to the whole land." The Great Wall has stood there for thousands of years, and it won't be a moment or a half!"
Daenerys ignored Littlefinger's shouts, and Egger's endless thinking and hesitation eventually exhausted her patience, and she felt embarrassed by her hot face and cold ass, and turned to walk back in the direction of the throne, while coldly throwing down a sentence: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, you must be tired all the way by boat...... Please receive a reception at Dragonstone Castle and get a good night's rest. I'll get back to me tomorrow morning about my proposal. ”
