Chapter 458 counter soldiers with arms, and water with earth weirAs far as Igor knows, North and Without any weapons or military preparations for the dragon, Daenerys is enough to run wild in the North even if only Rhaegal is a dragon, when the north-south shipping is blocked by Dragonstone's Targaryen fleet, and Stannis in King's Landing cannot provide equipment and technical support to the outside world.
In addition, the land-grant army that just defeated and eliminated the invasion of Others, relying on an efficient command system that was unseen at the time, a good level of combat literacy and training, and the morale that was flourishing after the victory, the battle The strength is definitely not low. As long as you cooperate with Rhaegal a little bit, carry out step tank... No, "step-dragon synergy", donate land and cooperate with Dragon Queen, you will be completely invincible militarily.
Is it true?
Igor was puzzled by the results of oneself's simple strength assessment. He frowned and carefully re-examined the judgment process, and quickly found a loophole.
There are two types of conflict, hot war and cold war. Igor may be true to the war, but you must know... the land grant he controls is only a theoretically equivalent force to Seven Kingdoms. However, it has a rather complex and unstable internal composition.
Tywin once said: "Some victories are won by sword and lance, and some victories are by pen and paper and Raven."
If oneself is North's The decision-maker, who has no perfect means to deal with dragons, and really wants to oppose Night's Watch's behavior of breaking neutrality and competing for Iron Throne for Dragon Queen, there is actually a better choice than launching a war to interfere with martial power: use soft Strength, solve problems with no blood or rare blood.
……
Others have been repelled, and the three major forces that make up land grants: the foreign aid mountain clansmen, the surrendered new land grantors, and the original Night's Watch have lost their unity the biggest reason. At the same time, the supreme leader of oneself is neither a natural lord nor a ruler in the ordinary sense, nor has his own family or heir, nor does he have a teacher or a dísciple - he seems to have firm and very control over the land grant. After all, I am afraid that none of North's counts has a solid control over Fiefdom - the legitimacy of power and the legitimacy of what they do are their biggest shortcomings and weaknesses at the moment. North does not need to be able to defeat the entire land grant, as long as It is enough to overthrow oneself!
House Stark only: contact the mountain clan to make a statement, at the same time declare support for beyond the wall people to choose to stay or stay, and then contact the opposition within Night's Watch to cooperate with the inside and outside...
There are not many Game of North The Thrones player is not fake, but the other party can't think of this move, but the oneself must not be unprepared for this move. Zhuge Liang will be the top of the three idiots. In case these rude people come up with the right idea through discussion, they can easily weaken the strength of oneself without using too brilliant means, making him scrambling and making mistakes while busy!
How to prevent?
Don't panic, the easiest and most direct way...counter soldiers with arms, and water with earth weir.
Igor breathes deeply and begins to think about countermeasures one by one.
＊＊＊
Among the three land granting forces, the mountain clan should be the best to settle. Don't look at how they are nominally part of North, how respectful Eddard is rumored, how loyal to House Stark... That's when North adopts a policy of mild restraint: they hardly pay taxes and pay their wages, and they don't need them to do corvée— - There is no conflict of interest, and there is a natural harmony.
But, in this winter, it is Night's Watch Legion that provides them with clothing, food, territorial lodging and housing, and fights with them against the wildling south and the invasion of Others, more precisely. Said to be the logistics department. As long as you have a good talk with those clan chiefs first, the permanent territory of the land grant is enough, it may be a little difficult for them to make North, but just asking them not to be used by House Stark as a knife to stab oneself, should not What a hurdle.
Then came the "new land grantors" who joined at the latest and accounted for the largest proportion. This group of visitors from beyond the wall gathered under the banner of Mance Rayder to avoid the threat of Others. After being blocked from the Wall by Night's Watch, they cut off their wrists and attrition in order to survive in exchange for the qualification to enter within the wall... In Night's Watch" Under the strict management of "big stick and radish", although there were still many incidents, the great contribution to the development of land grant and the war must not be erased. Now that the presence that occupied their home and forced them to leave their homeland has disappeared, and among the beyond the wall visitors who have become land-grant residents, there must be some who would like to continue to be well-fed, warm, and safe residents of the Seven Kingdoms after the war. , There are also those who are unwilling to be "Kneelers" and want to return to beyond the wall to enjoy "freedom" and the per capita resources that have become more abundant after the population has been greatly reduced.
This kind of differentiation is the weapon most easily used by external forces to deal with oneself.
By claiming that "beyond the wall is still not safe," Igor can drag the trouble back for a while, but he won't get around it. Well - maybe, it's time to let the "pro-Seven Kingdoms people" who have invested in education and training in the early stage, the personality cult that has already laid a solid foundation, and the public opinion to seize the lead and other means to play.
Playing tricks is what he is good at. With a certain idea, the general idea will quickly take shape, and then...
Night's Watch Legion, even in the case of oneself reducing restrictions and lowering the entry threshold and greatly expanding the situation It is still the force with the smallest number of land-donors. However, it was the smallest group of people that made Igor the most fearful - through the improvement of treatment since taking office and the preparation for his excellent performance in the defense of Others, oneself really suppressed the voices of opposition and doubts, and made Legion go up and down. Officers and soldiers all respect and obey oneself. But he knew very well: this state only existed when he was truly diligent in carrying out his own duties as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, preparing for the common challenge. Now that the enemy has been eliminated, and the oneself, the Lord Commander, has begun to do "extraordinary things". The discipline can be maintained to a certain extent, and it is really impossible to predict by simple rational judgment.
Black shirts, vowed brothers...the common label, vows made together, and victories fought together bind them together. Igor can't use those ordinary methods simply and rudely. And the knowledge, experience and brains far beyond the mountain clan and the beyond the wall people also make many of them have high resistance to cheating, especially the bad thing is: after overthrowing oneself and oneself's forces, Night's Watch Legion The Lord Commander + a bunch of high-level positions will be freed up - this alone is enough for countless old-school Night's Watch to respond to North and plan a conspiracy against oneself.
The oneself person is the most motivated to turn the gun on the oneself.
Fortunately, moving the headquarters of Night's Watch from Wall to Queenscrown, so that oneself and the old-school Night's Watch have an excellent buffer and isolation zone, as long as you are vigilant and guard against everyone who is not like an enemy. The black clothed brother of all the way, Igor may have to deal with a little trouble, but at least he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded by people and stabbed dozens of times.
I was planning step-by-step ways to block various open guns and dark arrows and countermeasures, when a familiar female voice sounded in my ears.
"Lord Commander, it took a lot of effort for me to persuade me to bring the group of people not to be your enemies, but you can think... how to arrange your little prophet. already?"
...
It was Melisandre, who accompanied the Queen along with Moqorro, Igor and the others to oversee the construction of the temporary dragon's nest, while Daenerys was engrossed in it, ignoring a The members of the entourage, the red robe priests are very relaxed and happy, and they have completed their duties, and there are not so many troubles to consider.
The priestess just asked casually for nothing, but brought back two things that Igor had forgotten to the back of his mind: the so-called "the gang she brought" was naturally Refers to the group of nobles who originally served Stannis, but followed Melisandre to Wall to support Night's Watch because of their fanatical belief in the Lord of Light. Their ability level is much higher than average and indeed helped before and after the construction of land grants and wars. It's been a lot of work, and Igor didn't cause trouble after he swore allegiance to Daenerys. I have to say... Melisandre, as a "huobao friend", is really doing his best.
As for "Minor Prophet", it's Bran Stark who returns to the Seven Kingdoms after a trip to beyond the wall. Although he had joined the Night's Watch Legion and read the oath in the presence of Igor, as a Stark and heathen who suddenly had transcendent abilities, both Igor and the two high-ranking Red God priests have always maintained his oath. Be prepared.
Coincidentally, after the bloody night at Long Lake, Bran suddenly fell into a constant coma, sleeping most of the day, only to wake up occasionally, and only explain that oneself is I consumed too much energy in the confrontation with the Night King and needed a good rest... Although it is indeed a strong explanation, but to be honest, Igor doubts this routine to reduce the sense of presence - it does work, no, oneself almost ignore him.
Such a guy who possesses great magical power and whose stance is unclear, but who can't be killed because of many considerations, what he wants to do next after solving Others... It's a bit chilling just thinking about it.
"You two, can you tell if he is really in a coma because of excessive energy consumption? Do you have any suggestions?"
"It is true that the energy consumption is a lot, but is it excessive? I have doubts about the degree of sleepiness that has been going on like this." Moqorro lightly said, "Of course, there is no evidence... Since this child brought Lightbringer back from the wall, I don't want to overly maliciously speculate on him, the adults may be oneself. Make up your mind."
Igor slowly nodded to express his understanding, sighed: "Well, I know, I know how to place him."
It's weird to have numbers, it's a big thing Heap, how can you still think about this?
However, taking such a huge variable out of consideration can be devastating when things go wrong.
What should I do? Lay in bed tonight and think about it.
Just after the decision was made, another soldier gasping for breath ran over to report the situation.
"Lord Commander, finally, in the backyard of the main castle of Hearth, we found the nitrification room built by the original residents here. There is still a lot of niter that has been produced. What should I do?"
