Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 79

Defeating the free folk is not difficult, the difficulty lies in ruling.The free people despise those who kneel, they are free and loose, but Ed will not ask the free people to kneel, he believes that there must be a way when the time comes.

Once the land beyond the Great Wall is merged, the people of the Frozen Coast riding bone chariots, the Hornfoot people walking barefoot in the snow, the Thenns wearing bronze scale armor and bronze weapons, the wildling aliens who can control wild beasts, riding A mammoth, a giant four meters tall, can work for Ed.

An army of savages, Ed gets excited just thinking about it.Giants can even help Ed build a castle, and giants can easily move boulders. Legend has it that Brandon the "City Builder" built the [-]-foot-high Great Wall with the help of giants.

"Iron Bitch" Helen Pike was still shivering in the cold, wearing a green linen coat and mink cape, "It's so cold here, it's the end of the world."

"This is the coldest place in the Seven Kingdoms, but it is the warmest place for wildlings." Ed pointed to the snow-covered forests and mountains in front of him, "It's summer, and the scene outside the Great Wall is still the same. , in winter, it’s unimaginable. The savages are very envious of the black land in the north.”

Theon smiled and said, "Master Ed, the savages are just uncivilized savages. Although the land beyond the Great Wall is barren, it is large enough. Give me a thousand well-trained soldiers, and I can wipe out all the savages."

Benyan Stark didn't take it seriously, "Theon, you obviously haven't dealt with the wildlings, the raider leaders among the wildlings, none of them are easy to deal with. Similar to Rattleshirt, 'Crow Hunter' Afin, 'cries ', 'dog head' Harmo and his ilk are all titans."

Theon didn't take it seriously, "These wildling raiders would just sneak around and snatch women and children. How can they compare with Ironborn? Ironborn once controlled the entire Sunset Sea in history, starting from Bear Island in Ice Bay in the north, South to Redwyne Strait, Old Town, and the vast territory of Fairy Isle, these places either pay tribute or submit."

Helen Pike agrees, "When the ironmen pursued the ancient roads, Sea Front City, Lannisport, it was difficult to compete with the ironmen. They could even occupy the Shield Islands in the Reach, go up the Mander River, and threaten Highgarden. The ancient gardener The descendants of the king and the green-handed Gals can only tremble."

"The wildlings should be thankful for themselves that their Beyond the Wall is far away from the Iron Islands, otherwise the King of the Iron Islands on Seastone would have brought the Ironborn fleet to conquer the entire Beyond the Wall, and the Wildlings would have become slave labor and salt concubines of the Ironmen. "

Domilik frowned, "What's the use of the ironborn's longship in the snow and ice beyond the Great Wall? Many coastlines are frozen, and the Ironborn might get rusted outside the Great Wall."

Jon Snow looked at the ice and snow beyond the Wall, but said nothing.Bunyan led the crowd towards the east, and Jon said while he and Ed were alone by his side, "Father, when I grow up, I want to join the Night's Watch."

Even though Jon proved himself on Skaggs Island, he captured the son of the leader of the Stern clan in Driftwood Hall and made military exploits, but he was still an illegitimate child after all.Jon knew there was no place for him in Winterfell because there was Catelyn and her children there, and he was Snow, not Stark.

Ed patted Jon's head, "Jon, don't be stupid, Winterfell is your home, and I don't allow you to join the Night's Watch."

Jon still wanted to fight, "But, I, Mrs. Caitlin"

"Stay honestly in Winterfell, I have the final say in Winterfell, Lady Catelyn can't do anything to you." Ed whispered in Jon Snow's ear, "One day, I will tell you, Who is your biological mother."

Jon Snow was instantly relieved, and he nodded, "I see, Father."

The next day, Ed left Castle Black with his entourage and arrived in Houcrown Town.Ed called the captain of Houguan Town, Tomard.Together with Thomas, Ed selected soldiers from the soldiers in the army.

Most of the soldiers in Houguan Town Army Tunnel were recruited from the winter shelter town, and some were criminals such as thieves, robbers, and poachers, and were exiled here.Houguan Town is located in Zengdi, less than a day's ride away from Castle Black, but this place is not the Great Wall after all.

Hundreds of soldiers and residents of Houguan Town surrounded them.

Thomas shouted loudly: "Duke Ed wants to recruit soldiers, go to the Great Wall to rebuild the fort, and serve as soldiers there."

When they heard that Duke Ed was going to recruit soldiers to defend the Great Wall, the soldiers in the military camp were afraid, and the soldiers talked a lot.

"When we came, we agreed that we would serve as soldiers for the Stark family in Winterfell. Why do you let us go to the Great Wall? Would you let us be night watchmen?"

"The night watchmen don't allow them to marry wives and have children. Who will do the work of cutting off children and grandchildren?"

"That's right, the lifeblood of that damned place on the Great Wall has froze."

"As a soldier in the army, as long as there are no savage raiders, you can plant land. When you get to the Great Wall, you may have to fight! Those savages are not easy to deal with."

Tomard yelled for a long time, but no one answered the call. He looked at Ed helplessly.

Ed raised his hand, and the surrounding soldiers and people immediately fell silent.

"Going to the Great Wall is still a soldier of Winterfell, not a night watchman. Going to the Great Wall is for you to repair the castle. The castle is to the south of the Great Wall. You have no chance to go outside the Great Wall. There is a high probability that you will not meet wildlings. Wildlings The attack is coming, and there are night watchmen to support it!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but still no one stepped forward to apply.Ed said: "These castles are used to store food. In the future, the northern fishing boats will fish at sea. There are seafood in these Great Wall castles, and there are so many meats that you can't finish them. Whoever goes there will be able to feast. Go to the Great Wall Fortress of Impossible Soldiers, Winterfell will give you ten extra copper coins every month."

Although ten copper coins are not much, the salary of soldiers in the army station is only fifty copper coins a month, and the extra ten copper coins make some people excited.

"There are seafood and meat, it sounds good!"

"The salary has also increased, maybe you can try it."

Some people started to sign up, but there were only dozens of people who signed up, and more people were still waiting and watching.

Ed continued: "In the future, relying on the castle of the Great Wall, Winterfell will open up a manor, and then there will be beautiful girls to settle there. If you go there to serve as a soldier, you have the opportunity to marry a wife and have children. Eastwatch, Castle Black and Shadow The tower's night watchmen don't have this kind of treatment."

"I know that many of you were farmers, fishermen, woodcutters, etc. in your ancestors. You all want to change your destiny and serve as soldiers in Winterfell. You will have the opportunity to earn more money and change your destiny by killing the enemy and doing meritorious service. "

Ed called the sharp archer Feilan, "Feilan, what did you do before?"

"Poachers."

The people and soldiers on the side were shocked. Today, Ferran is wearing a gorgeous velvet coat, covered with exquisite chain mail, and a sable velvet cape with gold thread on his shoulders. He looks like an aristocrat.

Ordinary soldiers wore woolen or woolen overcoats, and they were ashamed. Seeing Ferran's style, he couldn't help but envy and hate him.

"How does this look like a poacher?"

"Not only was this poacher not sentenced to beheading, why did he become a warrior?"

Ed smiled and said: "Ferlan is a poacher. He was supposed to be sent to the Great Wall. I forgave him. He fought bravely on the battlefield. On Skagos Island, he captured the leader of the Stern clan alive and established For his military exploits, I rewarded him with a golden dragon and a manor."

A gold dragon can buy a group of plow horses, which is a lot of money for big soldiers and ordinary people.

Ed patted Ferran on the shoulder, "Choose to play for Winterfell, you have a chance to become the next Ferran!"

"I want to sign up to serve as a soldier on the Great Wall!"

"Lord Ed, take me in!"

Excited soldiers and civilians stepped forward one after another and signed up enthusiastically.

Ed showed a smile. In this way, the source of soldiers on the Great Wall will not be worrying.
