Bab 12: 12
Chapter 130: Clever Tormund
If it were in peacetime, even before the War of the Five Kings, no one would support Jack.
But this is a different time. The Night's Watch was established in the Age of Heroes. At its peak, it had more than 10,000 people, all of them elite.
Later, as time went by, people gradually forgot the existence of the White Walkers, and by the Baratheon dynasty, there were only a thousand or so Night's Watchers left.
And the Night's Watch was no longer an elite force, nor was it glorious. Instead, it became a place of exile for criminals.
More than a year ago, the Night's Watch discovered the traces of the White Walkers and began to seek help from the North regarding the 100,000 wildlings moving south, but the harsh living environment did not allow them to obtain enough manpower.
Moreover, it coincided with the Rebellion of the Five Kings, and there were no nobles in the south to support them. Only some nobles in the north provided them with a batch of supplies and some prisoners.
Coupled with the attacks by wildlings, the Night's Watch is now basically in name only.
So as soon as Jack finished speaking, Tormund suddenly asked, "Then, can we wildlings join the Royal Night's Watch?"
The night watchman present: "."
The feud between the Night's Watch and the wildlings has lasted for thousands of years, and no one expected that Tormund would say such a thing.
Tormund looks big and strong, but he is actually quite cunning.
After browsing the Great Wall, he heard about the recent situation in Westeros when he was in the village in the West. The Rebellion of the Five Kings and the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms.
Otherwise, the wildlings will face the top fighting force of the North led by Eddard Stark.
But the person in front of him obviously had conflicts with these nobles in the south. He was a Targaryen from the royal family of the previous dynasty.
In this case, if the wildlings help the Targaryen dynasty to retake Westeros, they should at least have a place to survive.
It is precisely because of this that Tormund said something that confused both the Night's Watch and the wildlings.
"Of course, the Royal Night's Watch welcomes everyone, but there are certain requirements for strength. Anyone who joins will be canonized as a knight."
Knights were divided into wealthy knights and propertyless knights, but regardless of whether they were wealthy or propertyless, the title of knight was the same.
Then Jack looked at the former Night Watchmen, led by Donald, and said softly,
"You have given everything for the Night Watch oath. You deserve higher honor and better treatment."
"You can choose to stay or go. If you choose to leave, I am still the Hand of the King of Daenerys Targaryen. I can pardon you on behalf of Daenerys."
"If you choose to stay, I will knight you, and you will become the backbone of the Royal Night's Watch in the future."
"It's your choice whether to go or stay. I don't want your two gangs to fight again before I come back."
Then Jack said to Tormund, "Come here."
Tormund was a little confused. He pointed at himself and asked uncertainly, "Me?"
"What else?"
Tormund swallowed and walked towards Jack cautiously. At this time, Korakshu behind Jack put great psychological pressure on Tormund.
With a wingspan of nearly ten meters, Korakshuu is an absolute behemoth, and even the giant is only four meters.
Jack rolled over onto Korakshuu's back and then entered the dragon spirit state.
Koraxhu leaped into the air, grabbed Tormund with his hind claws and flew outside the Wall, leaving the wildlings and the Night's Watch looking at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing this, Donald was the first to drop the sword in his hand, then sat down on the ground and gasped heavily.
He was originally an experienced blacksmith. Later, when Lord Commander Mormont was away, he temporarily entrusted the Black Castle to him.
As a result, Mormont died in Craster's Keep, and Donald was forced to shoulder the burden of defending against the wildlings.
But now everything is finally over, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"What do you guys think?
Stay or?
I remind you that from now on there will be no more Night's Watch, only the Royal Night's Watch, a regular army with pay.
But they will also be enemies of the southern nobles, and will no longer have a neutral political position, but will fight for the Targaryen family."
Donald's words caused the group of people to fall into silence. After a while, a young man said, "We will choose whatever you choose."
Obviously, after Donald took over as Mormont, everyone in Castle Black was convinced.
"Me? I haven't decided yet."
"Then join the Royal Night's Watch." Suddenly an old voice came.
Everyone looked over and saw Fat Sam supporting an old man who was trembling as he walked out.
It was Maester Aemon, a hundred years old and without a doubt one of the most learned men in Westeros.
"That man is of the Targaryen family. Although his hair has been dyed, his purple eyes and handsome appearance cannot deceive anyone."
When everyone in Castle Black heard Maester Aemon's words, they suddenly remembered that Maester Aemon seemed to be a Targaryen as well.
But he had worked at Castle Black for so long that most people had forgotten that he was still a Targaryen.
Maester Aemon can be said to be the most respected person in Castle Black besides Mormont.
Aemon came to the crowd and then persuaded: "Valyria conquered Essos with the help of dragons, but was destroyed by the Doom."
"The Targaryens conquered Westeros with the help of dragons, but were destroyed by the Dance of the Dragons and overthrown by Robert 18 years ago."
"Now that the dragons are back in the hands of the Targaryen family, it won't be a problem to conquer Westeros again."
"So follow him. You have paid half your life for honor, but in the eyes of the southern nobles you are criminals. This is unfair."
Aemon Targaryen was born in 198 AC. It is now 302 AC and he can sense that his life is coming to an end.
When the Targaryens were destroyed, he did nothing for the Night's Watch.
But now, he began to hope to see the Targaryens rule Westeros again before his death.
In this way, he would have no regrets even if he died.
Maester Aemon's words undoubtedly made the Night's Watch put aside the last hesitation in their hearts.
They looked at the savages around them, then threw away their weapons and collapsed on the ground.
Seeing this, the wildlings also threw down their weapons and sat on the ground. They didn't want to fight either, but the White Walkers would not give them a chance.
Now that the survival crisis has finally been resolved, everyone, including the night watchmen, are lying on the ground gasping for breath.
Aemon looked up at the starry sky and thought to himself, "This sky will eventually be controlled by dragons again."
Aemon firmly believed that as long as the little girl Daenerys had enough fleets, she could immediately return to Westeros and take back the Iron Throne of her family.
But what he didn't know was that Caraxeus was different from the three Drogon brothers.
Korakshu enjoyed the gifts from the gods Godzilla and Jack, so he is huge in size and has strong defense.
The three Drogon brothers are still ordinary dragons. It is very dangerous for them to face bows and spears at close range. If they encounter dragon crossbows, they will probably be shot through.
