As the first person to perform military merit, Will got the reward he wanted.

There was a light laugh among the nobles.

Whether it was a thousand cattle and sheep or a thousand bags of grain, or three thousand sets of armor and weapons, they were all despised by the nobles.

What kind of cattle and sheep grain can't be converted into gold?

With gold, isn't it very simple to buy cattle and sheep grain?

Asking for gold, facing the Lannisters in Castle Rock, fools know how to ask for gold.

Only lowly and short-sighted peasants, inferior freemen, would want cattle and sheep and grain. This has to do with their living habits and the limited state of mind of the small peasants.

In a word, although Will is the Earl of Dragonstone, he is still the lowly commoner of Haijiang City in his bones. I have not seen the world and wealth.

Three thousand sets of armor, to pull to the Great Wall of Desperation, this is also a stupid physical work. It is very risky to go by sea, because of the threat of the Iron Islands and pirates. At sea, the fleet of the Iron Islands is very powerful. By road, it would have been a two-month trek.

Will's combat power is good, and no one dares to underestimate the Ash Legion he has, and Sir Tyron Ash is even more invincible, and the Stark family's clan sword is cold and icy, and no one can stop him from advancing.

Contrary to Will's prowess in battle, it was not the blood of the nobility that flowed in his veins. This can be seen from the reward he asked for for military exploits.

With the exception of Eddard Stark, only a handful of people knew Will's true purpose for asking for these things: to recruit the natives of the Bright Moon Mountains who had never been conquered by the sword.

Neither the Targaryens with their dragons, nor the invincible ancestors, nor the Andals who landed on the sands of the valley, have failed to conquer the natives of the Bright Moon Mountains. They were poor, barbaric, aggressive, rude, free, self-sufficient and primitive, and in the eyes of the nobility, no matter how unbearable and backward the aborigines were, one thing was clear: they had never been conquered!

This is very similar to the Ash tribe of the Wolf Forest Mountains, the Stark family has ruled the north for more than 8,000 years, but the aborigines of the Wolf Forest Mountains have never been conquered, no matter how harsh the conditions and how difficult their lives are.

It has also been proven that once these unconquered aborigines come out of the mountains to participate in the battle, as long as they train a little to cooperate with the queue and team battle, their combat effectiveness is very amazing. As for the combat strength of individuals, there is no need for training of the head of the army, and their combat strength is the best among all branches of the military.

The first legion that Will pulled up was the Wooden Shield Tribe in the Wolf Forest and the Ash Tribe in the Wolf Forest Mountain Range, which proved that the combat effectiveness of the two tribes was very strong, and after professional battle formation training, it was almost an invincible legion.

Will hoped that the aboriginal tribes of the Bright Moon Mountains would give him the same reward.

If you can't conquer the aborigines with the sword, then try the cattle, sheep and grain. Tribes that can't be conquered by violence, then try friendship.

Gold can buy the hearts of tribal leaders, because most of the gold will only fall into the hands of a few. But with cattle, sheep and grain, you can buy the hearts of the tribesmen. The difference is subtle, but very, very important. The leader is the authority, but the tribal people are the will of the people.

Eddard Stark said to Tywin, "Lord Tywin, between heroes and fortune, do you choose between heroes and fortunes?"

Tywin hesitated slightly, glanced at Sir Kevon, and said, "Lord Eddard, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"The Hall of Heroes is a collection of 100 Lannister heroes, but they are made of gold. I don't think it's appropriate to recreate the glory of a defeated lord's city with such a grandiose ostentation, and such a Hall of Heroes would be better suited to build a Hall of Heroes in the Red Keep of King's Landing, in the King's Maegor Tower, or next to the throne room. ”

The nobles of the Three Lands Alliance had a playful look on their faces.

The nobles of the Western Realm all had grim faces.

Eddard Stark looked around at the nobles of the Four Kingdoms, "Everyone here is a hero. In particular, there are indeed many heroes in the alliance of the three places, such as Sir Tyran of the Great Wall of Desperation, who can block his blow in the Seven Kingdoms? Lord Will, the leader of the Black-Clad Legion, is very wise, who can block his stab? Angai, the sharpshooter, who can take his chain of arrows? Longbow hanging, who can shoot farther and more accurately than him? These are all heroes of the day, but there is no golden statue. ”

The hall was silent, and everyone breathed heavily.

"Lord Tywin, the Westlands no longer deserve to have a Golden Temple. Eddard Stark said lightly.

The Golden Hall is famous, and the other side of the Narrow Sea is also proclaiming, but Eddard Stark wants to pull out this pride and glory from the West. To destroy the enemy is not only a military victory, but also a spiritual symbol of the enemy.

After both sides laid down their swords, the war did not end, but continued in another way. - It's like life, after the prince and princess get married, they will continue to experience the same ups and downs as before they got married, maybe the wind and rain will come more violently!

Tywin said, "Lord Eddard, the Golden Temple is the resting place of my heroes in the West. ”

"Heroes rest in peace, there is no need for gold to show off their exploits. Eddard Stark said in a deep voice, "Lord Will, you can choose one of the hundred golden statues. He didn't wait for Will to answer, his eyes swept over the audience, "All the nobles of the three regions who went to battle this time, those who have devoted their military strength and built great military merits, will be rewarded with a golden statue, which can be transported back to the family, and can be broken and brought home with gold." All the remaining golden statues will be transported to the Red Keep in King's Landing, and the golden heroes will be dissolved, and next to the throne room, a new golden hall of heroes will be built based on the heroes of the Westeros continent in the past. - Sir, who has any objections?"

The nobles of the alliance of the three places were overjoyed and echoed one after another. Anyone who sends a lot of troops and has military merits will be rewarded with a golden hero statue, and the nobles of the three places are all surprised and delighted.

Only the nobles of the Western Frontier were silent.

Although the Lannister's Golden Hall of Heroes is made of gold, the heroes are all recognized heroes of the Westlands, not only the heroes of the Lannister family.

These heroes are the common heroes of the West. - Each statue is based on a real heroic figure, and each character has an extraordinary experience - but only in the West. These heroes are not the heroes of the entire Westeros continent.

Eddard Stark said in a deep voice, "Since everyone agrees with my handling of the Hall of Heroes, it has been decided. Lord Will, you can choose a golden statue first. ”

Tywin felt like he had been punched in the face.

The destruction of the Hall of Heroes, and the impact of the Lannisters in the hearts of the people of the Westlands has been catastrophic.

Tywin looked at Kaivon, and it was Kaivon's idea to surrender and save his strength first.

Kaivon's face was expressionless.

Will said to the guards beside him, "Go ahead, pick the biggest golden statue, and carry it all or break it up." ”
