Chapter 408

Chapter 408 "Master Recapture Battle"It's not all about pretending, Igor does have a lot of Things are busy.
Being mixed up by three dragons, the arrow technique tournament should have ended and awarded awards. It is obviously not worth it to call the whole Queenscrown people again for such a mess, but things have to have a beginning and an end. , Igor plans to take the time to do a small-scale supplementary ceremony in the castle, meaning to finish the program at once.
This is not a major event, but the preparations for war will never end: although there are many ships brought back from King's Landing, most of them need to be purified, and the final high purity Fire salt is only a thousand kilograms - but it is the largest mass ratio in the Blackfyre formula, and it is consumed terribly fast. A Dragonglass bomb... but there's a lot of charcoal and sulphur left.
At this time, Qyburn, whom Igor named and brought back to Queenscrown, had a new mission: the climate in the North was definitely not suitable for nitrification, but the nitrification was not affected by the weather. As long as he is sent to many castles and winter towns in the North, on-the-spot training of personnel, the method of digging soil and boiling salt, and finally purchasing the finished product and transporting it back to Queenscrown, even if it is not in time to deal with Others, it can be well prepared for the future.
Ideally, a Dragonglass bomb can kill ghouls within a radius of more than ten meters. As a hidden great killing tool, this formidable power is basically sufficient. And the number of more than 400 sounds even more massive - after all, even the big signboard "Lightbringer" has only forced 77 ... Unfortunately, considering that there are 21 fortresses in the whole land grant, after allotment, this Numbers are nothing.
In addition, Dragonsteel arrows, as props with more encouraging effect than actual combat formidable power, are also impossible to pile up on Queenscrown... All the fortresses along the Wall except Castle Black did not send anyone to participate in the arrow technique tournament due to the long distance. , but Igor hopes to spread the news of the Lightbringer's presence throughout the Land Grant - and the best way to do that is to have it appear everywhere and show it in person.
Looking at the schematic diagram of the land-grant defense, Igor pondered for a while, and gradually completed the Dragonglass bomb delivery arrangement that he had roughly planned before: Ice Gorge Harbor, Shadow Tower, Nightfort, and Eastwatch. The top priority of defense is to allocate thirty Dragonglass bombs and two "Lightbringers" to each fortress. Among the remaining fortresses, those controlled by the Mountain Clan and Night's Watch have military value and will be defended at any cost in the decisive battle. Those seven—twenty bombs and a "Lightbringer", with a few more along the Gorge line... As for the remaining nine, full of new land-grants, not very strong due to mediocre repairs, and not up to scratch A residential fortress on the Wall ladder, when threatened in war, it will be evacuated without allocating resources.
Soon, a large amount of precious combat equipment will be dispersed and transported along the Wall, which seems to greatly disperse valuable materials, but the existence of The Wall actually provides an unexpected benefit: as long as the Wall Before the top has fallen, the personnel and materials between the fortresses can be transported through the straight Great Way on the top of the wall. If the enemy attacks any fortress except Ice Gorge Harbor, as long as it is not captured instantly, it is actually tantamount to fighting against the entire Wall.

After dinner, Igor was greeted by waves of visitors.
Melisandre came over and asked Igor whether the Queen was successful or not - I wonder if there are "customers who have been fooled by other priests can't be robbed" or "a priest only serves one Child of Unwritten rules such as "Prophecy", Red Woman clearly cares about Daenerys' every move, but she refuses to accept Igor's suggestion to "oneself to chat with Queen". go with.
And then there's the Blackhaven count, Beric Dondarrion as Stannis' bannermen and somehow not hostile to the Dragon Queen, but Igor doesn't take it easy because of his performance, when he asks " Talking to the Queen", Igor made up some lies and fooled the past.
The first two visitors were just casually asking, but as the night wore on, Warner Buckwell came to see him mysteriously and secretly.
This young Crownlands noble who once rebelled, betrayed Stannis and took the Red Keep for Renly, does have the passion, ability and means to make people feel "no wonder he dared to rebel" - even when clothed Black clothed exiled to Wall, but still overviewed: After swallowing the pie Igor painted for him, Warner not only organized and integrated many Crownlands nobles who had the same fate as Renly and suffered the same fate, but even with their paternal male Cousin Jarman Buckwell acted as an intermediary and lobbied to win over a large number of nobles from all over the country who were exiled by Robert for supporting House Targaryen in the slaughter war more than ten years ago... Successfully persuaded them to support Igor's campaign for Lord Commander and reform.
Whether it was sending him to the top job, or later helping Igor manage the land grant, Warner Buckwell was a huge help.
In addition to this seemingly innate activity and organizational ability, Warner is also a military leader who can lead and command the army alone - suppressing the rebellion of the Tur clan, patrolling to ensure new land grants A series of deeds have proved its ability to keep the people safe and to recover the unavoidable tribes when misreporting occurs. The soldiers of the logistics department are barely enough as middle and low-level officers, but when it comes to their comprehensive ability to take on tasks alone, the young men of the commoner background are still not as good as these Aristocratic Family backgrounds, who have been familiar with each other since childhood, and have experienced all the way in the King's Landing garrison. people who come.
Warner came to Igor today for an unusual purpose: he also saw the great potential and value of Daenerys Targaryen—Dragon Queen is Igor's promise to the noble faction within Night's Watch and lead them The best springboard to get out of the land grant and return to the Seven Kingdoms arena of power!
The analysis and advice of the young aristocrats are correct, but after listening to Warner's serious advice, Igor is laughed: If you remind me of this kind of thing, I can see, how can I be this land grant Lord?
"I have already negotiated and arranged everything about the Queen's side. The specific details...At the moment of the enemy, I won't talk to you in detail to prevent you from being distracted. In short, keep your spirits up and finish the fight. In this battle, there will be a time for everyone to show their skills." Igor put away his smile, and added the second half with a stern face, "Go back and say hello to all the Ser and adults, and take care of your people--don't allow it. Anyone skip me and go straight to the Queen to talk nonsense or something!"
The advice and dedicated service of a large number of exiled nobles did make Igor's control of land grants handy, but this gang of criminals It's not because of admiration and worship of oneself that he is loyal, it's just because of the binding of interests - Igor has no one in his hands, he has to use them, but he also stares at them... As a transmigrator without foundation, if he is betrayed once like Stannis , but definitely skeleton doesn't exist, and there is no chance of turning over.
Igor talks to Queen: she fights for Night's Watch once, Night's Watch will give her Iron Throne...but if Daenerys suddenly learns from other people: Night's Watch Legion has a big inside. To make people eager to turn to her to get rid of black clothed would obviously make all his previous posturings worthless.
After some explanation and flickering conversation ended, Igor finally got this guy satisfied and sent him away. Before he settled down for a while, the last visitor came to the door today.
......
Arya aggressive, as soon as he entered the door, he didn't stand firm and asked angrily: "Where is my sword!"
"Not even the master. Scream?" Igor raised his head and glared at her, let out a secret breath through his nostrils, and took out Miss Stark's Needle and put it on the table: "I'll give you the sword back, but what I told you today, do you understand? I don't want to go outside the tower to catch you again!"
"humph."
Arya took back the sword, pulled it out to make sure it was her little sword, put it back, and sat down. Across from Igor's desk...in the chair that Warner had sat in a moment ago, his eyes were staring at him with piercing eyes.
Under such unblinking gaze, Igor could no longer handle government affairs, and put down his pen helplessly: "What else?"
"You didn't come to dinner just now. , where are you going!"
Why did it look like he was checking the post, Igor shrugged: "I didn't go anywhere, I just ate here, if you don't believe me, ask the guard at the door...or The little brother in the kitchen. I'm afraid I will have to be so busy for a while in the next few days."
There was indeed a smell of food in the room, Arya bit her lip and continued to ask: "I just went Look at the lake, there's light in the tower! You...you actually left Mad King's daughter here for the night!"
I just kept her for the night, and I didn't accompany her for the night. Flip over? Afraid that the girl would do something else, Igor could only explain in a good voice: "She's my guest now, you've heard - can the host not arrange accommodation for the guest just because he doesn't like it?"
"Are you...are you in love with Mad King's daughter!"
"Don't think about it, didn't I explain it to you, recognize her as my guest , just to get those three dragons to fight!" Igor put on a stern look and raised his voice a bit: "You little girl, it's a waste of my time to ask these mindless questions, I'll rush you back. The room is over!"
......
"Master's majesty" is used once in a while, but it still has some effect... The questioning was hit back without any relief, and Arya's arrogance was suppressed , was soon speechless, and could only sit there sulking with a distressed look on his face. I'm angry that my parents didn't give birth to oneself more beautiful than Mad King's daughter, I'm angry that oneself is sure that the master has changed his mind but there is no evidence, and I'm angry that there are no powerful killers among the guards...
Oneself's assassination ended in failure and was sent After returning to the room, she mentioned it to her guards again and asked them to find a way to deal with Mad King's daughter - but, the gang of normally pretentious and "nothing can't trouble our North man" big man Everyone, when things came to an end, they acted as cowards one by one: this one said that their mission was only to protect the two young ladies, and the assassination of the enemy was not within the scope of their work; that one said that it was extremely impolite to mutilate the host's other guests on other people's sites; There is also a serious look to her "how the dragon is so scary", and even the ancestors of House Stark kneeled to acknowledge allegiance.
In any case, none of them are willing to do things, and I don't know if the eggs between their legs have been shrunk by the dragon.
The master is about to be snatched away, but oneself can only watch helplessly and can't do anything... The more the girl thinks, the more flustered she wants to ask Myrcella if she has any tricks and sorry, she is so anxious as if she is hot Like an ant on the pot, it would run into Igor's room and talk nonsense, and even oneself was a little dizzy.
Arya put away her questioning posture, put her sword aside, lay on the table and rested her small head with her arms, raised her face and blinked at Igor.
She spends all day with Myrcella, and has long noticed that oneself, this little sister, has beautiful big eyes and fluttering eyelashes. , at this moment trying to find anyone or anything in a crisis, and also want to learn Myrcella's appearance, maybe the master sees that oneself is cute and forgets Mad King's daughter again.
Arya's eyes are huge, and she's really cute when she blinks. It may be useful to deal with some weird scorpions with special hobbies, but Igor is very normal, and she's on guard at the moment for fear of revealing weak spot, how can you guess Arya's careful thoughts?
......
Face to face, after being blinked for half a minute, he couldn't help asking: "Are your eyes uncomfortable? Have someone show you?"
"Your eyes are uncomfortable!"
Arya's Face is red with anger, gnashing teeth for a moment, and the little sanity in her little brain is finally swallowed up by shame - can't come out any more Faint trick, use the big trick directly! She stood up and ran into the inner bedroom.
This little girl, what's the nerve?
Igor touched his head, determined to leave her alone, and immersed himself in some official business. After about ten minutes, he finally finished this piece and closed the document, but still no girl came out... this There was already some bad premonition in my heart, and I walked into the bedroom with the oil lamp and saw it. Sure enough, there was no silhouette, only a bulging piece protruding from the bed.
