The army entered the Ghost Forest.

Jon Snow left his Left Wing and came along.

"Lord Will. ”

Will nodded slightly, watching Jon Snow, who had not been seen for a long time, become more burly, the childishness on the young man's face disappeared, and there was already a faint black fluffy beard on his lips, and those eyes became powerful.

Recruit instructors must have a pair of powerful eyes, and the Roaring Stone Folk are not so easy to train. There is no tough side, and no one will listen to you.

Jon Snow has grown and matured.

Despite this, Jon Snow was attracted to the two little ones on Will's shoulders, and his eyes stayed on the two griffons for a little longer, which showed that his mind was not trained enough. However, after this expedition, he will grow up quickly.

"Lord Will, I request to bring a group of light cavalry to the front to reconnoitre. ”

"No!" Will said.

"Don't you have to scout?" said Jon Snow.

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

"Steadily, step by step. ”

"Lord Will, you may not understand the current situation, in the Ghost Shadow Forest now, there are many small groups of savage scouts, and there are many groups of savage farmers. I judged that their great forces would necessarily be behind. ”

"When encountering savage scouts, those who surrender are grouped into the ranks, and those who do not surrender are killed. "We're all cavalry, and we have an absolute speed advantage. ”

"What if it's a peasant contingent?"

"They won't take the direction of Black Castle, they will only take the canyon of the Shadow Tower and the waterway of the East Sea Wang. I have ordered Colin of the Shadow Tower, the Broken Palm, to advance along the foot of the Frost and Snow Fang with three hundred cavalry, and when they meet the peasant ranks, the obedient ones will send them across the Great Wall, and they will be put into the villages of the Night's Watch, and those who will not be returned will be killed. As for the smuggling peasants in Donghaiwang, they were lucky to succeed in smuggling, and those who were caught were all assigned to the naval fleet, those who could swim became sailors, those who could not swim were to do miscellaneous labor, and the elderly, women and children were put into the fishermen's villages of the night watch, and those who did not obey the arrangement were all killed. ”

The more Jon listened, the more uncomfortable he became: "My lord, are you going to bloodwash the wildlings this time?"

"The long summer is over, Jon, the Wraiths will soon arrive, we don't have time to sit down and do any convincing work with the wildlings, the news of the Wall's opening of its gates to welcome them has long been spread, but the wildlings don't appreciate it, and instead kill all our patrol brothers. You are at the Great Wall, and you know these situations better than I do. ”

Jon was silent.

"In this expedition, all the savages who are obedient are our own people, and those who have land and basic rations for them are to be put into the ranks, and those who are not obedient are to be killed, and the previous strategy of letting them free is no longer to be carried out. Because as far as I know, all the wildlings we let go go of each time come back with someone and kill our patrol brothers. ”

Jon stops!

As it turned out, Will's previous policy of tenderness did not receive any kind feedback from the wildlings, and instead they seized the opportunity to organize their men again and again, killing many patrolling rangers.

The hostility of the wildlings forced Will to abandon his previous Huairou alliance policy, which also aroused the anger of his brothers, and in the face of more and more wildlings moving south, Will did not intend to hold the Great Wall, so he had this expedition.

"Master Snow, put away your vulnerability and pity. Chief Ranger Sauron said contemptuously, "You haven't been slashed by the wildling's sword, and your brothers haven't been stabbed by the wildling**, and when you watch your brothers get their heads cut off by the wildlings one by one, you'll feel ashamed of the hypocrisy in your heart." ”

Tough guy Soren had a clear undisguised contempt in his words.

His veterans laughed together.

In the eyes of the veterans, Jon Snow and his gang of recruits are unplanted garbage.

"Those who convert live, those who resist die, and this time there is no third way for them to go. Will whispered, "Jon, are you going to do your bidding, or do you turn around and go back to the Wall, and I'll arrange for someone else to lead the recruit corps?"

Jon Snow's face flushed.

Tough guy Sauron and his brothers burst into laughter.

What if it's an old man or a child who won't submit? For example, an eight-year-old boy. He said stubbornly loudly.

"You can tie them down with a rope and take them as your captives, and drag them behind your horse, but I will not allow you to send troops to protect them. Our soldiers came out this time to fight. Will frowned and said, "Jon, do you have anything else to say?"

Jon Snow gave Will a deep look and returned to his left flank.

His mind was filled with confusion.

Capture the wildlings without killing them, give them freedom, let them go back and spread the word that the Great Wall Legion is willing to accept them, give the wildling farmers land, give them the right to live, and fight the strangers together, this is Will's previous strategy. Now, as soon as Will returned, he immediately went on an expedition and overturned his strategy entirely.

Jon thinks that Will's strategy is excellent, but with a little more patience and time, it will work well.

No one wants to fight, and neither will the wildlings, especially the wildlings' farmers.

But Will wouldn't listen to him.

Behind Jon Snow, the laughter of the veterans followed him.

The ranks spread out and advanced in a zigzag. Will gave the order.

As a result, the three legions on the left, center, and right lined up for several miles, and the distance between the three legions and the legions was hundreds of meters, and the distance between the cavalry and the cavalry was more than three meters.

There are a lot of small scouts of savages in the Ghost Forest, and this time they are going to be strangled in a carpet way.

As the procession reached noon, it was met by two groups of savage scouts hiding in the leaves of the trees, fourteen in all, all killed, with their heads cut off and the tips of their spears inserted. The two squads of scouts had only seven horses, but this was a heavy blow to the savage scouts.

A horse is extremely precious to savages.

The path Will chose was the only way for the wildlings to go south to find out what was going on. It can be crossed in other places, but thorns, lakes, rivers, rocks, and snow are huge obstacles, and there is no way at all.

The route on which Will's army traveled, there was a road.

Big Gilly rode to Will's side, leaned into Will's ear and said, "Lord Will, this is no longer a green land, this is outside the Great Wall, a place that belongs to the free people, those etiquette and customs of your seven kingdoms have lost their binding force on us free people, and our king is Mance Reden." In the green land, I worship you as the lord and abide by the kingdom etiquette, but outside the Saiwai, I still respect you as the lord, but I believe in the customs and etiquette of the free people, I hope you can understand. ”

"I respect the customs and laws of the freedmen. Will said.

Big Jili nodded, patted the horse and walked away.
