King of The Wall

Chapter 311 New...start?
No one here in Giant's Nest would be prepared to eat and drink to entertain the North Patrol Group. Even if there was, a group of nobles and soldiers were eager to get on the road, and most of them didn't want to enjoy it. wants to walk to walk, less than one minute after Robb said goodbye to the Giant leader, all the soldiers got on their horses, and the patrol that lasted for several weeks came to an end. In the snow, the backs of North's elites who were about to rush to the battlefield in the hundreds , and soon disappeared into a vast expanse of white.

It seems that I should regret that I had made a series of preparations to deal with the inspection team, but never had the opportunity to play it again. In fact, Igor was happy for the first time that the work he had done was in vain. Although he was supposed to be the enemy of Euron Greyjoy, Igor couldn't help but thank the lunatic in his heart.

This invasion really came just in time.

It turns out that emergencies aren't always bad.

……

On the other side, Arya, who was also watching the group away, the grievances and dissatisfaction she acted out a moment ago disappeared in an instant, revealing that she couldn’t hold back like a face change. He was delighted: Robb, who had taken over the responsibility of North's guardianship, seemed to have changed a person. He was no longer spoiled and coddled in the past. All day long, this and that were not allowed, and she was stricter than her parents. The days with him by his side have suffocated the girl.

Rather than go to the West Coast with him, of course she would rather stay at Wall and be with Igor and Jon who she likes more!

She turned and squeezed to Igor's side, wrapping his arms around him -- something Arya wouldn't have dared to do when in front of the parents.

"Master!"

"What's the matter?" Igor turned to look at her. Although they had always been close to each other, there were still a few Winterfell soldiers here. , like what words.

Arya lowered her voice mysteriously and secretly: "You look back and tell Ser Roderick that the snow is too heavy to travel - let me stay in the Wall for a few more days."

What's there to do in this icy cold place?

Igor smiled helplessly. He probably understood why Arya liked Wall: in her opinion, the site of Night's Watch is probably like the "grandfather's house" in the eyes of oneself when he was a child - both interesting , and there is no parental control, naturally want to rely on it.

Intellectually, when oneself is about to take over as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and has a lot of work to do, Igor doesn't want to keep such a troublesome girl in Wall, but Arya can do it two days ago. I've only been very helpful...oneself promised to take her to see the tree if there was a chance. Men, you have to keep your word.

"Your brother entrusted you to Ser Roderick, can my words work?"

"It definitely works! Don't look at Ser Roderick's face all day long. He looks like a bastard, but he's actually very good at talking. You drink some wine with him at night, you can brag, and when you're drunk, he will talk about it, and he will definitely not object."

Okay. , Even the means and process have been thought out for oneself? This kid.

Seeing that Igor was still hesitating, Arya shook his arm vigorously: "Hey, whoever said that two days ago will hurt me, don't talk about it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll try—well, it's public, restraint." Igor looked up at Roderick, and the old Knight was approaching with a puzzled face, seemingly wanting to hear about one big and one small were whispering something, so they quickly waved their hands away from Arya, coughed and said resolutely: "Okay everyone, the North guardian has left. The weather is so bad, we also hurry back to Icemark City and hide in the house to bake a fire. Go!"

＊＊＊

In this between Heaven and Earth, everyone has a place for oneself.

Robb rushes to Deepwood Motte to command the war against the Ironmen, and Igor needs to return to Castle Black as soon as possible to take responsibility for oneself. After the last night in Frozen City, he also brought oneself's subordinates and rushed back to Castle Black without much delay.

Arya wanted Igor to convince Roderick Ser to allow her to stay in the Wall under the pretext of "too much snow", but unfortunately what she said was: the snow is really getting worse day by day... Reluctantly arrived at Nightfort in the bad weather, and fulfilled the promise to stay for a day to accompany Arya to see enough of the glowing Heart Tree, the weather suddenly became bad enough to travel - at least not suitable for traveling with Miss Stark.

No way, Igor had to hide in the old fortress for two more days, hoping the weather would improve.

The strength of the raven is reflected in this moment. Even in this kind of weather where people are afraid to go out, the information exchange between Wall's various fortresses is still uninterrupted under the support of Raven - Denys Mallister's series of actions, including withdrawing from the election, swept the entire Wall in an instant.

Igor didn't expect it at all, and was delayed by this blizzard for two days, and he became not only the first foreign Lord Commander in Night's Watch history, but also the first... when he won the election Lord Commander who was not on the campaign site.

Sam sent the final votes from Castle Black: After being tucked into a row of a hundred or two at Igor's arrangement, the Night's Watch Legion total reached a fifty-year high of 1,205 . In the last day of voting, the proportion of abstentions also set a record: 219, nearly one-fifth. Of the remaining 986 valid votes, Igor got 661 votes, with a slight surplus of just a few more than 2/3/2022, and finally ended the months-long election and was elected the 998th commander of the Night's Watch Legion.

In the following detailed account, Igor learns why the election ended earlier than oneself expected: Shadow Tower 236 Night's Watch soldiers, 3 abstained, 5 supported Cotter Pyke, leaving 228 All votes for oneself.

Ser Mallister not only withdrew from the election, causing a large number of abstentions in Castle Black, reducing the base of valid votes and lowering the threshold for election... but also in the form of sending Shadow Tower 96.6% of the votes - high profile Demonstrates oneself's powerful control over the commanded fortress, and is also equivalent to directly announcing that oneself has reached an agreement with Igor.

Faced with this extremely powerful certificate, even Igor had to admit that the commander's influence on the fortress may be far beyond oneself's expectations.

This signal, almost impossible to understand, ultimately shattered the hesitant and wait-and-see attitude of those in Castle Black who were hesitant to set up Sect after learning that Denys had withdrawn from the election. The Night's Watch Legion has chosen the next commander-in-chief for oneself in the third day, the day after the election, with only two candidates remaining.

Relying on decisively avoiding the limelight and returning in a timely manner, accompanied by continuous internal infiltration and continuous external actions, under the circumstance that all means are used, and many friends and supporters help together... In the end, After a daring adventure, oneself: transmigrator Night's Watch Igor West, after coming to this world for nearly three years, stands at the starting point of countless heroes and story protagonists: finally truly owns a piece, whether legally , or are in fact all controlled by oneself.

Allies are so powerful, but oneself can't keep up with the rhythm? Under these circumstances, the new Lord Commander couldn't wait any longer, even if the storm was only showing signs of weakening. Ignoring Arya's sloppiness, Igor left her in Nightfort...with his cronies in the wind and snow, he headed back to Castle Black first.

......

Night's Watch headquarters, the gate of the fortress was opened for the new supreme commander, Igor took oneself's entourage slowly through the door, and returned to this familiar place, but again A place that cannot be seen through the eyes of the past.

Whether they like it or not, Castle Black officials and soldiers at all levels, especially Igor's supporters, have gathered in the courtyard to welcome the new Lord Commander.

Melisandre smiles behind the crowd with a profound mystery, her red robe stands out, but Igor notices something else in particular: Cotter Pyke and the Eastwatch crowd don't really leave , and the atmosphere is a little too dignified. Even close friends like Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly didn't have the slightest smile on their faces.

"What's the matter, all face?" Igor rolled over and dismounted, walked towards oneself's supporters, and asked Jon in the lead.

"Maester Aemon passed away last night, and Sam, who was taking care of him, found out this morning." The appearance of crying: "I really didn't expect that Aemon master could still talk to me the day before yesterday... He persisted until the end of the campaign, but he never had the chance to give even a single piece of advice to the 998th commander himself. ."

Igor was immediately stunned.

There are already signs of the accelerated decline of Maester Aemon's body. He has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has indeed reached the age where he can be called "end of life" when he dies. It's just that Igor didn't expect: oneself, the first page of the 998th Commander's story, will start this way.

If Night's Watch Legion and people he really admires, no matter how narrow the list is, Maester Aemon will definitely occupy one of them...he is not only a Maester who is well-versed in modern times, but also Castle Black The medical teacher of everyone up and down, countless benefactors of Night's Watch including oneself. The passing of such an old man is undoubtedly a huge loss to Night's Watch Legion - this is by no means official.

oneself, because he accompanies Arya to see the tree, and misses seeing Maester Aemon for the last time?
A strong regret swept through his heart, he looked all around, and suddenly lost the mood to take over as Lord Commander as originally planned, frowning for a few seconds, he was determined to push the oneself thing back, and first show the right Respect for this venerable old man.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned and announced loudly, "Farewell! Maester Aemon's funeral will be here in an hour, and then I have something to say to everyone, and at the same time announce that I am The first orders from the Lord Commander!"

...

The crowd dispersed, and Igor walked to the tower where they lived with Jon Sam and the others.

“Is there anything you can tell me before Aemon master dies?”

“Yes...he wants you not to take any revenge on your opponents after you take over, and at the same time proposes that as much as possible Reduce the changes in Legion's senior staff... If you really want to change people, he also prepared a shortlist for reference."

These things, oneself and Denys Mallister have already agreed. Igor waved his hand: "Keep the list, I know what else?"

"No...no more." Sam sucked his nose and said with a sad face, "What should I do next? , I...I still have a lot of things to learn."

"Oneself groping, or asking and discussing together, the solution is better than the difficulty!" Igor snapped, first giving the weakness on fatty's face to the Scared away, he slowed down his tone again: "Give you your first mission: write a letter to Citadel and ask them to either send someone who is as reliable as Aemon master to take over, or admit your Maester identity. Before that, You put it on first. Then write to Eastwatch and order them to fully cooperate with the unloading of the loan to the Iron Vault, and bring James back to me by the way! Well, first, let's talk about it at another night - Jon, get someone to watch Firewood preparations, we'll see you later at the funeral."
