Chapter 0487: Asha's Fate
"How many people do you want?"
"Two thousand warriors of the North. ”
The knights of the North laughed.
A knight smiled and said, "Theon, against five hundred monks wearing monks' robes and using wooden sticks, you want two thousand warriors from the north?"
The guards and knights of the North laughed.
Robb was also smiling.
Will and his brethren at the Great Wall of Desperation didn't laugh.
There's nothing funny about that.
The noble knights of the northern realm are very disciplined, but they are inferior to the Great Wall of Desperation.
In order to unite the freemen and the night watch, military discipline is the strongest law.
The freedmen are loose and unruly people who have developed the habit of doing their own thing, and the night watchmen are even more powerful, and the old rangers have tempers greater than the sky and sharper than the sword, and no one can command such a 'rabble' without absolute discipline.
Military discipline is not strict enough, and before he can fight the enemy, he will collapse internally.
Whether it is the Wooden Shield Tribe or the Ash Tribe of Tyranny, when you enter the desperate Great Wall as a warrior, your first identity is that of a recruit, and you have to accept the training of recruits and pass all the items before you can officially become a Great Wall warrior.
The same is true for the freedmen outside the Great Wall who want to integrate into the legions of the Desperate Great Wall, and they need to undergo recruit training in batches until they can pass the exam in every project.
Jon Snow needed to lead the 2,000 elite of the North in battle, but he was still a recruit training officer at the Great Wall, and he stood behind Will along with the clanklers.
Jon Snow also noticed the difference between the Night's Watch and the Knights of the North.
The officers and sergeant guards of the Great Wall did not speak without the orders of the Legion Leader. But the officers and knights of Winterfell could chime in without Robb's permission, they were used to it, and the legions of the Seven Kingdoms were like that. The officers were all warriors under the banner of other nobles, and they were only temporarily transferred to the lord's side in wartime, and the lords were generous to them in order to win their loyalty, and some powerful knights and lords were almost no difference between them in the meeting.
Everyone is used to it!
It's just that the guards and officers of the Great Wall of Desperation stand tall and keep their mouths shut, which is in stark contrast to the casual smiling knights of the North, and the scene looks a little strange.
Robb said lightly: "Theon, I'll give you two thousand." But I want to hear why you want a legion of two thousand people, is a thousand not enough?"
"Lord Robb, there are five hundred monks under my uncle Elen, and it seems that it only takes three hundred warriors to sweep them away. However, I believe that not all the people of the Iron Islands have been relocated to the barren graves of their ancestors, and when you attack the seven islands of the Iron Islands, a considerable number of the Iron Islanders will inevitably flee by boat. ”
"You're right!" Robb said lightly.
Robb's words gave Theon a strong sense of confidence and courage: "Lord Robb, as soon as you and Lord Will leave the Iron People Bay in the battleship, the Iron People who fled to the sea will return. And my uncle Irun has more authority than my father Baron in the hearts of these iron people, and as soon as he returns with the people, these fleeing people will all gather around him, and it will not be long before all the iron people who have fled at sea will gather around him, and I don't have many soldiers of two thousand. ”
Theon's words made the smiles of the knights who laughed at him stiffen.
Most of these knights are the knights of other lords, including the Amber family, the Casstark family, the Bolton family, and many others.
"I granted your request, Theon!" Robb said.
It was Robb's plan to ask Theon to lead his troops to clear the last group of displaced people in the Iron Islands, and the plan was implemented smoothly, and Robb was very satisfied with the result.
Theon, who knelt down on one knee, thanked Lord Robb, stood up, and said, "Lord Robb, I have one more thing I want to ask your lord to promise me before I send out the army. ”
"Say!" After several battles, the childishness on Robb's face disappeared completely, and a black fluffy beard grew on his lips.
"Please give the order for the release of my sister Asha. Theon said.
"Where's Asha?" Robb didn't see Asha.
As soon as he walked out, he came out of the ranks of officers standing straight on the Great Wall of Desperation, and he looked strangely ugly, with a sharp forehead like the head of a spear, and a pockmarked face, as if his face had been hurt by the splashing of fire oil. His eyes are also small, but his expression is fierce and murderous.
He is Carter Pike, the commander of the Desperate Great Wall East Sea Lookout, a former leader of the Iron People pirates.
"Lord Robb, Asha and some of the Iron Folk nobles and soldiers have been captured by me at sea, and now Asha and her subordinates have been taken to the East Sea of the Great Wall, where they have sworn to join the fleet of the Great Wall. Carter Peck said.
"Oh?!" Robb glanced at Will, "Lord Will, you're such a powerful person that you took the captives into your own hands." ”
Will noticed the displeasure on the faces of the nobles of the North.
The spoils of war should be shared between the two sides, but when the thousands of Iron People migrated to the Ancestral Mound, Robb and his nobles felt that it was a matter of course, and they did not feel that they should give a portion to the Great Wall of Desperation.
In the past, the Great Wall of Desperation did not fight for any people, and there was no one on the land under the jurisdiction of the Great Wall of Desperation for five hundred miles, and the people of the north also felt that it was normal.
The night watchman is stationed at the Great Wall.
But Will didn't think the same, he was different from the previous Night's Watch commanders.
Will said, "Lord Robb, the number of the Night's Watch is growing, and in order to support ourselves, we have begun to develop maritime trade in the East Sea. Green, the chief of general affairs of Donghaiwang, believed that in order to develop maritime trade and deal with the free trade city-states, it was necessary to have its own navy as a security guarantee. Asha's group of prisoners, I nodded and agreed to let Carter Pike take them to the East China Sea, and they would be good battleship soldiers. I'm sorry, I haven't had time to tell you, Lord Robb. ”
Robb knew that Will had been with him all the time, and he wouldn't know that Carter Pike had taken the captives to take the captives to the East China Sea first, and Will was protecting him.
Robb looked at Carter Pike, who was very arrogant, his eyes were full of rebelliousness, but he looked absolutely obedient.
Robb smiled, "I see, Theon, your sister Asha became the night watchman, this is the best result for her, I don't want to see you shed tears for your sister who was cut off her head." ”
Theon gritted his teeth: "Lord Robb, Asha was captured by this guy and made a ** instead of a naval soldier." ”
As soon as these words came out, Robb was stunned.
Carter Peck calmly: "Lord Robb, Lord Will, I will marry Asha as my wife, but it takes time to arrange the wedding, Asha she voluntarily marries me as his wife, and swears in the name of the drowning god that I will never have any coercion and use against her." ”
