Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond?
Chapter 76 Journey to the North (IV)
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Jaehaerys stated his purpose. When he escaped from the Red Keep, some guards had helped him leave without hesitation. Those who died were not counted, and many of those who survived were exiled to the Wall.
The Night's Watch is an extremely special existence in Westeros, and his inner guards have not yet been able to place their intelligence network there.
The north is bitterly cold, and the Wall is even more difficult. The inner guards believe that there is nothing worth working on except guarding against wildling raiders.
This view is not wrong from common sense. For southerners, the so-called white walkers, giants, and children of the forest are just legendary things...
Jaehaerys believes that he can guide the ideas of the inner guards and the Queen's Council, but he cannot interfere too much. As long as it is within the reasonable range, his subordinates must have their own work ideas. He cannot take care of everything. It is too tiring to be a steward like that.
And haven't the inner guards done a good job in the past ten years? The overall development of Dragonstone is booming, which shows that the queen's ministers are also fulfilling their duties.
Old Bear expressed his understanding. Gratitude has always been a good virtue of knights. He asked the officer to call all the Red Keep guards who were exiled to the Wall by Tywin Lannister during the Usurper's War.
Some of the Night's Watch had already recognized Jaehaerys. At this moment, they all stepped out after hearing Old Bear's order.
"Are you Ser Alliser Thorne? Are you Ser Jamery Ryker..." Jaehaerys carefully identified them. Those who survived that year were distributed in the three fortresses of the Wall. Only a small number of people were in front of him.
After Jaime opened the gate of the Red Keep, many Red Keep guards chose to fight to the death.
For example, the father of the then Gold Cloak Commander-in-Chief, Manly Stokeworth, and his eldest son and heir Cyril Stokeworth, Ser Darren Tunston from Raven's Roost, Old Hart shot to death by the Lannister army, and the Water brothers who were blocked in the cellar and stabbed to death...
The dead are gone, and the living are always sad.
The Thorne, Ryker, and Darry families were all famous families during the reign of Aerys II. Although Robert pardoned them later, he also deprived them of a large number of their fiefdoms and people. Now these families have become third-rate families.
The Stokeworth family is the worst. Now Countess Tanda is in charge. Only two daughters are alive. The eldest daughter, Faris, married a son-in-law, but their marriage was unhappy. They have been married for more than ten years without any offspring. The second daughter, "retarded" Lollys, is a cowardly and stupid person. She is already in her 30s and has not yet married.
According to the intelligence report of the inner guard, Countess Tanda has been looking for a suitable husband for Lollys in recent years. She has found Littlefinger and Tyrion Lannister successively, but the people of equal status do not like her. She has become a joke of the king!
The Darry family also suffered the same fate...
People who have fought for our Targaryen family have such a miserable end! Jaehaerys will never allow it. The heart of a loyal minister must not be cold.
Dragonstone will give back the hard shoes Robert put on them!
Alliser Thorne is now the instructor of the new recruits in Castle Black, and Jeremy Lake is a famous ranger.
Jaehaerys hugged the two of them separately. He specially picked a few good weapons and armor from the armory of Dragon Castle, and sent them to Eastwatch together with equipment and supplies, and asked the steward to personally deliver them to the former guards of the Red Castle.
It was the first time he met Ser Jeor Moramont, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch. Based on a few words, he judged that this man was smooth, but he was still a northerner in his bones.
He asked this man to leave some space for him and the two old acquaintances, and then quietly asked them about their wishes. If possible, he would like to bring these former Red Castle guards back to Dragonstone from the Night's Watch.
There was a hint of desire in the eyes of the two, but unfortunately, it was only for a moment. They shook their heads together and expressed their refusal tactfully.
As expected by Jaehaerys, not everyone in this world has lost the honor of a knight and loyalty to their oath.
More than a decade ago, the two of them were able to remain loyal to the Targaryen family until the last moment. Now that they have taken the oath of the Night's Watch, they can naturally abide by it.
Perhaps they have shortcomings of one kind or another, such as Sir Thorne's mean and sharp words, and Sir Lake's self-righteousness, which makes him look arrogant, but they are generally good people.
The White Walkers are about to attack, and the wildlings will attack the Wall before the White Walkers. The future of the Wall can be said to be full of dangers.
Human power is limited, and Jaehaerys has no way to guarantee their safety. Of course, he will not watch them die, so he gave each of them an amulet to show his kindness.
He has a lot of this stuff, and the materials are not valuable, but it has been blessed by the incense clone. It has no effect on people, but it still has some restraining effect on evil things such as wights and White Walkers.
Similarly, the exclusive weapons he sent to several people this time were also blessed. They are no different from ordinary weapons at ordinary times. Once they encounter wights and white walkers, the effect is no different from Valyrian steel.
Never underestimate the incense clone now. Even if it is a lower-level god, with all the mana and consciousness of the original body, ordinary middle-level gods may not be its opponent.
Middle-level gods are already considered high-end gods in this world. After all, there are only two upper gods!
As for others, they should just use fire or obsidian weapons honestly!
Do you really think that blessing does not require energy?
If we don’t put some pressure on them, can these arrogant lords lower their noble heads? Offer a strong knee?
At dinner time, Jeor Mormont arranged for the official to invite Jaehaerys to attend the banquet at Castle Black. It must be said that the Great Wall is absolutely not short of supplies now.
Thanks to the stability of the kingdom and the ten-year long summer, the fiefdom of the northern lords also won a good harvest. Although the gifted land of the Great Wall is sparsely populated, the Great Wall also has few soldiers, so the supply can still be guaranteed.
At the banquet, the old bear implicitly expressed the request for conscription from Dragonstone and other places. Jaehaerys certainly agreed to this.
As the economic momentum of Dragonstone continued to rise, many smugglers and tax evaders were also punished. The Dragonstone Customs punished these people quite severely, thanks to the arrangement of former Admiral Tretimont.
Dragonstone's tax collection ships and anti-smuggling ships are all from the Caesar's rapid response fleet. On the sea, no smuggling ship can escape its pursuit.
Now Dragonstone's prison is overcrowded! And these people have more or less been influenced by the Dragon God's faith. Instead of letting them atone their sins through labor year after year, it is better to let them spread the Dragon God's faith to the Great Wall.
It can be regarded as a waste utilization!
