Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 184 The Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch

"Jon!"

The wind and snow blowing from the East China Sea, scattered on the cloak and leather, the world of the Great Wall will be wrapped in silver the next day, if it encounters snow falling day and night, the activities of the night watchman can only be diverted to the worm tunnel.

Although the blockade of heavy snow can slow down the offensive of the savages, it will also trap Cole and the others here. Chased out.

Jon turned his head when he heard the shout, and the strong wind hit him in the face, and his black curly hair danced accordingly. Various emotions such as anger, disappointment, and sadness were intertwined in his eyes.

Footprints can already be pressed on the ground, but the snow has only fallen for a while.

"You have to calm down, brother." He came over.

"brother?"

Cole nodded, "Brother Night Watchman, isn't it?" He continued, "I know a lot has happened recently, but you must stay calm at this time."

"Calm down." Jon's glove gripped the cane tightly. "How would you know?"

Cole sighed, "Although I can't empathize with your pain, but from the perspective of an outsider, I think maybe a bystander can see it more clearly than you. Why don't you listen to my advice?"

Jon looked at him.

"Sadness and anger won't help you break out of a situation," he said. "Do you know what Slynt and Alliser have in store for you?"

"Prepare?"

"A savage, they captured a savage who called himself Lord of Bones at Eastwatch."

"Rattleshirt!" Jon called out his name, he liked being called the 'King of Bones', and his bones were always his pride.

"Rattleshirt will be a witness against you for killing Qhorin Halfhand," Cole told him.

Jon was stunned for a moment, then turned to anger. They would rather believe a wildling than themselves.

"They have legitimate grounds and evidence to accuse you of crimes."

"I never betrayed." Jon was very firm.

"I know." Cole agreed, "Just like Maester Aemon and Donal Noye, we all agree with your reasons, but you can't produce evidence to prove your innocence, Jon." He continued "I've been in two trials by combat for Tyrion in the South, and once your mother is sorry, Lady Catelyn Tully thought he had framed Brandon Stark. You should know, though the world calls He was a little devil, but Tyrion was not one of them.

"Without proof, you'll have no answer, Jon."Do you have any evidence, or witnesses? "

Jon Snow fell silent.

"No? Very good." His words suddenly changed. "It's like this. Then you can only get rid of the crime in a different way."

"Have you ever considered being Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, Jon?" Cole asked.

Jon's head froze for a moment, and then he remembered what Sam had said to him, that Xiong Lao chose him as the commander-in-chief's clerk in order to train him to be his heir, and Sam said that this was the usual way for nobles to train their heirs.

"The wind and snow have come to the Great Wall, and the defenders of the Great Wall are still like a piece of sand at this time. I know that Slynt is planning for the position of commander-in-chief. He is definitely not a reliable person. Do you know why he was deprived of his right to come to the vigil? He was famous for bribing and buying and selling garrison positions when he was Lord Commander of the City Watch. Besides, Lord Eddard Stark was jailed for his treachery."

Cole shook his head, "You would never want such a person to be the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall, would you?"

"He may not be elected." On the Great Wall, there are Pomegranates, Carter Pike, Dennis Mallister and others, all of whom are quite prestigious.

"And what if I told you he had Tywin Lannister's backing?" Cole said. "And Pomegranate has decided not to run for Commander-in-Chief in favor of Slynt."

"How do you know?" Jon looked at him in surprise.

"I've lived with the Night's Watch for 15 years after all," Cole replied.

He patted Jon on the shoulder, "I know Mr. Xiong is optimistic about you, and even gave you his sword and long claws. I believe in his vision, Jon. I also believe in your character. I will help you As the commander-in-chief of the night watchman, Duke Eddard Stark worked tirelessly to come here precisely because he understood the importance of the Great Wall. Do you want him to entrust the place he will guard with his life to someone like Slynt? Are you alone?"

Cole looked into his eyes and knew that Jon Snow had been shaken.

"Master Eddard Stark, how could you expect you to feel sorry for yourself like a child, you have to take up your own responsibilities, Jon. Now is not the time for you to be sad and angry."

"I..." Jon swallowed the words in his mouth. He knew that what Cole said was true, but he was not a fool, so he paused for two breaths before turning to ask, "What do you want?"

Cole patted his breastplate, "I will tell you when you become commander-in-chief. Don't worry, I won't do anything to harm the brothers of the Night Watch, otherwise I won't go all the way north. "

"Be prepared." He turned and left after saying that.

Jon Snow's eyes followed him closely, shuttling through the white falling snow.

In fact, what Cole doesn't know is that Jon can see many things from Bai Ling, just in his dream.

The sword that pierced the eyes has always been firmly in Jon's heart. He saw Gray Wind jump up and saw Robb injured on the ground.

The sudden snowfall did change Cole's plans.

He had no intention of interfering with the internal affairs of the Night Watchman, and he also knew that Jon would become the commander-in-chief, and Addison Tollett was the attendant of the old bear. As the old bear's confidant, he would help Jon, Black There are also many Mormont supporters in the castle, and they will all support Jon Snow along with Addison.

Cole was anxious to make Snow the commander-in-chief. Naturally, considering the matter of those savages, he made a promise to Mance Rayder to let them go south. With the ships in Cole's hands, he couldn't take so many away. savages, not to mention giants and mammoths.

If you want to move the wildlings south, you have to discuss it with Stark, and Jon is the link Cole intends to use to negotiate with the Stark family. His main purpose of going north is to form an alliance with the Stark family. Reaching for nature is best.

The tricky thing is that Eddard Stark died at the hands of the wildlings.

If the Stark family attributes the culprit of killing Ed Stark to the wildlings or Mance Rayder, then they will never let Cole lead people south easily.

He remembered that there were still many ships in White Harbor. It was with the help of Earl Wyman Manderly that Cole was able to bring the free people of the Bright Moon Mountains southward.

But if this is all in vain, Cole is not reconciled. He doesn't know what Robb Stark will think, and he is not sure whether this former enemy will agree to form an alliance with him.At this time, Kordo hoped that it would be Eddard Stark sitting in Winterfell.

Standing under the king's tower, he sighed, and the white mist filled the air. Cole looked up at the tower prepared for the king.
