Chapter 265 Eyes Open and Eyes Closed"No one breaks the rules, my lord." Igor There was a plan to deal with it, so he didn't panic, he replied without hesitation: "Night's Watch Legion did not participate in the war, and I sent people to the south for this trip, and I was the only one accompanying me, and I swore that I did not participate in any battles, not even weapons. I haven't touched it."
"Stop playing this word game, the land grant is the territory of the Wall defenders, and the people you brought are named as the Land Grant Army, so everyone can see it Night's Watch is intervening. As for participating in combat, with your current status, it is not normal to not participate in combat?"
"Please allow me to explain the whole thing." Igor continued: " Because the Wall defenders accepted the wildling entry, the land-donating population increased sharply, and the food was seriously insufficient, and had to seek North's support. Not long ago, the logistics department organized a grain transport team, intending to go around the entire North, as much as possible. As the team approached Glover's homestead, they heard news that Deepwood Motte had been occupied by a group of unidentified pirates."
"'Unidentified pirates'? That's what Night's Watch calls it. Ironmen raiders, interesting." Robb Stark shrugged, suddenly realizing how Igor was going to get this done: just as King Robert called the Lords Declarant a 'rebel', Igor wanted to give the Ironmen a good It is helpful for him to explain the characterization of oneself behavior in order to legalize sending troops. "Then you 'successfully' took back the Deepwood Motte, took a bunch of prisoners alive, and after interrogation found that the pirates were House Greyjoy's people - because you didn't know they were House Greyjoy's people in advance, so they didn't count as meddling in Seven Kingdoms Internal affairs?"
"Let's put it this way, in my hometown, there is a saying that those who do not know are not guilty. But there is one more thing that must be added - beyond the north of the Wall. The wall people moved south on a large scale to avoid the cold winter and the Others. They arrived at the Wall a month ago, and launched an attack on the city gate while overrunning on a large scale. The Night's Watch Legion is sparse and difficult to resist. I requested support, and thousands of clan people were invited to station along the Wall." Igor, who was seen through the routine, coughed awkwardly and stretched out a finger: "And in my food delivery team, there are exactly a thousand clan people. Warrior, the offensive mission to Deepwood Motte is basically borne by them."
"What do you mean, these mountain clansmen, aren't you, the chief logistics officer of Night's Watch, also brought."

"The place where the mountain clans live is legally a part of the North. The clans are only temporarily stationed along the Wall by the invitation of Night's Watch... They only provide manpower support, they themselves are not clothed in black cloth. It's just that the place where they live has changed from the mountains to the land, and their allegiance is still House Stark." Igor replied: "As your people, seeing the Deepwood Motte under your rule is occupied by a group of pirates, out of Isn't it natural for righteous indignation to step in and help? As for me and the soldiers of the Night's Watch logistics security team, it's just out of camaraderie...providing a little insignificant military guidance and support."
Mountain Clan People are the children of oneself. Robb Stark really thought of this after reminding, these so-called clan people are actually wildlings living in the south of the Wall... North rulers have always adopted a policy of coercion and appeasement to manage: giving the clan chief count the same status, as long as these The leader recognizes House Stark's dominance, usually symbolically enshrines some special products and treasures, and also sends some representatives to accompany the army in wartime, and usually does not interfere much in their internal affairs.
These clans are nominally close to Umber, House Karstark, etc., but their relationship with House Stark is far less close than those of the real Earldom lords... The rulers of the North have never been as big as Igor. The commander has mobilized the clan nation Warrior on a large scale. And Robb Stark, who hurriedly took over as North's guardian after father's death and never personally traveled to the territory of the mountain clans, knew all about this group of mountain clans who were nominally oneself people, from father Ed and those who were close The senior members of the affiliated family narrate.
…
(insignificant military guidance and support? Without a complete chain of command, the clan people most likely companies remained organized and marched from their residence to the Deepwood Motte Difficulty, let alone a fight, even Balon Greyjoy's daughter was caught.)
Igor or his subordinates must be in full command. In this regard, Robb's heart is very bright, but he has to admit that these excuses made up by Night's Watch are quite decent, he touched the short beard on his chin, his stern face gradually relaxed: "so that's how it is."
Igor saw this and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "So, the whole thing can be summed up as follows—the North people spontaneously organized to drive away the intruders, and I, the Night's Watch, happened to be in At the most critical time, he appeared in this place, was involved in it, and once again served as the 'Night's Watch' who took prisoners."
Robb looked up and stared at Igor solemnly for a while. Yes, in the end, I couldn't help bending the corners of my mouth: I haven't seen him for a few months, and the guy in front of him has become good at making up nonsense.
This explanation sounds reasonable, but it can only be fooled by an ordinary person... As long as you have a little thinking ability and information source channels, you can be fooled. Intuitively, Robb felt that Igor's unruly behavior was inappropriate, but emotionally, he really couldn't say anything more - people in the other six countries could accuse Igor of wrongdoing, but oneself was the beneficiary. , and where can you stand on the same front as the former?
"Okay, tentatively accept and admit your statement." Robb wasn't fooled, he knew Igor was forcing an explanation, but so what, North in this Night's Watch interview The benefits of bad rules are not small, and now there is a saying that can explain to the outside world, enough. "I owe you a favor, but what you did after all violated the rules. Don't talk about it. I will announce to the public that the mountain clans helped me retake the Deepwood Motte in North."
"Of course, I'm just going south to buy food and grass supplies from the North princes. I don't know anything about other things."
"en." Robb was satisfied with Igor's answer, nodded. One of the two opened their eyes to talk nonsense, and the other turned a blind eye to the former's nonsense... So, the worst episode of Night's Watch in the last ages became more rectangular and was casually ignored. "This place really stinks. It looks like I'll have to go to the north barracks tonight to find a place to stay. That's all for today."
What, it's over? Igor really didn't know what to do this time. He still had a lot of things to talk about with Robb. He prepared the draft and dug a hole and waited for the other side to jump. As a result, he stepped on the edge of the hole and suddenly stopped and couldn't move forward. ?
"My lord, regarding the Ironmen's capture and surrender, as well as the plan to resettle the people beyond the wall..."
"The clan people decide what to do with their captives. Well, since they proposed to wear black clothed, that's your Night's Watch business." Robb turned and walked down the city wall, and finally dropped a sentence: "I have a lot of things to talk to you about, about Bran, About the wildling you put in at Night's Watch...but today is not a good time to talk about it. It's sweet to get rid of the Ironmen and win the battle for the homeland, but I have a lot on my hands. Today and tomorrow, the army celebrates at Moat Cailin Victory, then disband and return to their respective homes. I will also go back to Winterfell immediately, you must go through winter when you return to Wall, when the time comes come to see me."
Speaking of this, Igor is of course impossible Forcing Robb to tell him everything, a few days of preparation time is not a bad thing: "Okay."
