Chapter 130: Tormund the Clever

If it was during the peaceful years, even before the War of the Five Kings, no one would support Jack.

But this is a different time. The Night's Watch was established in the Age of Heroes. At its peak, there were more than 10,000 people, all of whom were elite.

Later, as time went by, people forgot the existence of the White Walkers. By the time of the Baratheon Dynasty, there were only more than a thousand people left in the Night's Watch.

And the Night's Watch was no longer elite, nor was it glorious. Instead, it became a place of exile for criminals.

More than a year ago, the Night's Watch discovered the traces of the White Walkers and began to ask the North for help for the 100,000 wildlings going south, but the harsh living environment did not allow them to obtain enough soldiers.

And it coincided with the Rebellion of the Five Kings, and there was no southern noble to support them. Only some nobles in the North provided them with a batch of supplies and some prisoners.

In addition, now that they are attacked by wildlings, the Night's Watch is basically dead in name only.

So as soon as Jack finished speaking, Tormund suddenly asked, "Then, can we wildlings join the Royal Night's Watch?"

Night's Watch present: "."

The grievances between the Night's Watch and the wildlings have lasted for thousands of years, and no one expected Tormund to say such a thing.

Tormund looks big and strong, but he is actually quite cunning.

He heard about the recent situation in Westeros when he was browsing the Great Wall and the Westerly Village. The Rebellion of the Five Kings and the Seven Kingdoms were in chaos.

Otherwise, the wildlings will face the peak combat power of the North, led by Eddard Stark.

But now the man in front of him obviously has conflicts with these nobles in the south, and is the royal Targaryen of the previous dynasty.

In this case, if the wildlings help the Targaryen Dynasty to retake Westeros, they should at least have a place to live.

It is precisely because of this that Tormund said something that confused both the Night's Watch and the wildlings.

"Of course, the Royal Night Watch welcomes everyone, but there are requirements for strength. All those who join will be canonized as knights."

Knights are divided into property knights and propertyless knights, but whether they are propertyless or propertyless, the knight title is the same.

Then Jack looked at the former Night's Watch, led by Donald, and said softly:

"You have paid everything for the Night's Watch oath, and you deserve higher honor and better treatment."

"You can choose to stay or leave. If you choose to leave, I am still the Hand of the King of Daenerys Targaryen, and I can pardon you on behalf of Daenerys."

"If you choose to stay, I will make you a knight, and you will become the backbone of the Royal Night's Watch in the future."

"You can choose to stay or leave. I don't want you two gangs to fight again before I come back."

Then Jack said to Tormund: "Come here."

Tormund was a little confused, pointed at himself, and asked uncertainly: "Me?"

"What else?"

Tormund swallowed his saliva and walked towards Jack carefully. At this time, Korakhu behind Jack put great psychological pressure on Tormund.

Korakhu, with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, is an absolute behemoth, and even the giant is only four meters.

Jack turned over and came to Caraxhu's back, then entered the dragon spirit state.

Caraxhu flew into the air, grabbed Tormund with his hind claws and flew outside the Great Wall, leaving the wildlings and the Night's Watch looking at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing this, Donald was the first to throw down the long sword in his hand, and sat down on the ground gasping for breath.

He was originally an experienced blacksmith, and later Commander Mormont went out and temporarily entrusted the Black Castle to him.

As a result, Mormont died in Craster's Castle, and Donald had to shoulder the burden of resisting the wildlings.

But now everything is finally over, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.

"What do you guys think?

Stay or not?

I remind you that from now on there will be no Night's Watch, only the Royal Night's Watch Corps, and the regular army will have military pay.

But we will also be enemies with the southern nobles, and we will no longer have a neutral political position, but will fight for the Targaryen family."

Donald's words made the group of people fall into silence, and soon a young man said: "Whatever you choose, we will choose."

Obviously, after Donald took over Mormont, everyone in Castle Black was convinced.

"Me? I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Then join the Royal Night's Watch Corps." Suddenly an old voice came.

Everyone looked over and saw Fat Sam trembling with an old man.

The man was Maester Aemon, he was a hundred years old, and there was no doubt that he was one of the most knowledgeable people in Westeros.

"That man is of the Targaryen family. Although his hair has been dyed, his purple eyes and handsome appearance will not deceive people."

When the people in Castle Black heard what Maester Aemon said, they suddenly remembered that Maester Aemon seemed to be a Targaryen.

But he has worked in Castle Black for so long that most people have forgotten that he is still a Targaryen.

Maester Aemon can be said to be the most respected person in Castle Black except Mormont.

Aemon came to the crowd and persuaded: "Valyria conquered Essos with the help of dragons, but was destroyed by the Doomsday Catastrophe."

"Targaryen conquered Westeros with the help of dragons, but was destroyed by the Dance of the Dragons and was overthrown by Robert 18 years ago."

"Now that the dragons have returned to the hands of the Targaryen family, it is not a problem to conquer Westeros again."

"So follow him. You have paid half your life for honor, but you are criminals in the eyes of the southern nobles. This is unfair."

Aemon Targaryen was born in 198AC. It is now 302AC. He can foresee that his life is coming to an end.

When the Targaryen family was destroyed, he did nothing for the oath of the Night's Watch.

But now, he began to look forward to seeing Targaryen rule Westeros again before he died.

In this way, he would have no regrets even if he died.

Maester Aemon's words undoubtedly made the group of Night's Watch put down the last hesitation in their hearts.

They looked at the wildlings around them, then threw away their weapons and slumped on the ground.

Seeing this, the wildlings also threw away their weapons and slumped on the ground. They didn't want to fight, but the White Walkers would not give them a chance.

Now the survival crisis has finally been resolved, and everyone, including the Night's Watch, is gasping for breath on the ground.

Aemon looked at the starry sky and thought to himself: "This sky will eventually be controlled by dragons again."

Aemon firmly believed that as long as the little girl Daenerys had enough fleets, she could immediately return to Westeros and take back the Iron Throne of her family.

But what he didn't know was that Carax was different from the three brothers Drogon.

Carax enjoyed the gifts of the gods Godzilla and Jack, so he was huge and had strong defense.

The three brothers Drogon were still ordinary dragons. Now it was very dangerous to face bows and spears at close range. Once they encountered a dragon crossbow, they might be shot through directly.
