122 Opinions and Negotiations(1/2)
The war situation is in a stalemate.
The savage failed to attack for the first time and suffered a lot of losses. Their spirit seemed to be eroded a lot. However, facing this dangerous difficulties, they did not retreat or find other solutions.
Instead, he simply set up a camp in the forest called Bai Shulin opposite the Great Wall.
It seems that he will never give up until he achieves his goal.
The Night Watchers and the people in the north do not care much about this. Compared with the resource-scarce Great Wall, they do not have to worry about supply issues. If they want to fight for losses, the other party will not be able to fight them.
Moreover, the large troops in the northern border will arrive soon, and this group of mobs will not have any good results.
However, just as the senior officials were thinking so, the savage suddenly sent someone to demand negotiations.
...
"Negotiation? It's ridiculous!"
In the Black Castle Shield Hall, the lights were brightly lit, and the senior officials of the Night Watch and the heads of the Northern Army were discussing this matter
"I'm not going to be hard, but I want to be soft. How can I do this kind of good thing in the world?" Sir Elisa, who is currently the coach of the recruit, joking loudly.
The former recruit coach was originally sent by the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch to King's Landing to seek reinforcements, but before he could get to the place, he was frightened by the wildfires. However, after he returned to Black Castle, he found that his recruit coach's position was "robbed" by a notorious murderer.
He was already angry about this matter, but now he could not help but hear this news.
Although at this time, many people in the hall were more qualified to speak first than him.
However, what he said was a general consensus among the people who watched the night watch.
"I don't think we need to pay attention to them. When Duke Ed arrives, he will tell them to cry and call them to mom." Someone responded.
"The savage cannot wait until then. The situation is obvious now, and the fool will keep waiting." A capable middle-aged man said: "At present, we should focus on paying attention to the shadow tower in Donghaiwang. Maybe the negotiations are fake, and numbing us is real."
"Use tricks? Stop teasing, savages don't have this kind of brain."
"The savage doesn't, Mance does."
...
After these words, the senior officials of the Night Watch couldn't help but hesitate.
At this time, the enemy leader outside the Great Wall, the king outside the Great Wall, was born as a night watchman before, and many people actually knew him and had a close relationship with him.
So they knew the king outside the Great Wall and would not underestimate him either.
"We can't be careless. We are now full of manpower and should send more people to defend the two wings. Mance has always been very cunning."
"Most of the brothers in Shadow Tower were brought to the mission by Colin Broken Palm, but there are not many people defending now..."
The brothers in black said, looking at Robb Stark, who was sitting in the front row of the bench, and the young man beside him.
At present, except for the people brought by the Stark heirs, there are only 500 private troops sent by Borton to Kelanston.
The latter only listened to the orders of that person, and the former ignored them.
So if you want to arrange these things, the consent of these two people is needed.
Robb had no objection to this. After all, he came here to help the night watchman, but Charles didn't want to do this.
"Sleeping it will only make the situation worse and worse. Although the savage is a threat, what is it in front of the White Walker?"
Seeing the scene quiet, Charles turned to look at Robb, "I am very interested in negotiations, what do you think?"
"I……"
Hearing that he said this, Robb pondered and had not answered, some of the Night Watchers couldn't help but retort loudly, "The White Walker is the enemy, and the savages are the same! Who knows where the so-called White Walker is running around, but the savages must not let go!"
"That's right!"
"Don't think about negotiation!"
"Sir Airysha is right, all the savages deserve to die!"
...
The vigils reacted fiercely to this, but Charles just glanced at them and ignored them.
For him, the total number of troops that the Night Watch can really fight is less than 100, and they are just rookies. Their opinions seem insignificant to him.
Although this is a bit overwhelming in some sense.
...
"It's a fucking good idea to divide the troops." The scene was noisy, and Sang Feng, who was hiding in the corner, sneered, "If you remember correctly, there are dozens of old crows who can't even pick up swords, hiding in the house waiting to die. How about sending them to defend the Shadow Tower? There is no one else. I think the Wizard won't listen to you."
"You don't have the say here, you're dead dog!" The former recruit coach was particularly disliked by the current recruit coach.
As soon as he finished speaking, Charles suddenly glanced at him. "This is not enough for you to speak."
Facing the young face, the other party gritted his teeth and did not dare to say anything.
So all the opposing vigils were a little weak.
These guards at the end of the world basically ignore foreign affairs, but have also heard of the name of Charles. Compared to others, it is impossible for Arisha, the one who has just finished his journey, to understand.
Before, he just subconsciously refuted, but he regretted it when he said it. Now it is naturally impossible to be the first to be a bird.
He was annoyed by the current situation, but he was not stupid.
...
"Does the White Walkers really exist?" Seeing that the scene was a bit cold, Robb hurried out to smooth things over.
"See it with your own eyes." Charles replied, and then he looked at Jon Snow, who was silent on the bench in the corner. "In your customs, the wolf spirit is like the White Walker, and they are all legendary existences, but now a wolf spirit is not sitting next to you in a big way."
"What?" Robb was shocked when he heard this, and Jon looked at Charles in a daze, not sure why he knew about this.
“But it doesn’t matter.”
Shire ignored them, he sat in his chair and turned to the others, "I propose negotiations, who do you object?"
Many people objected, but no one dared to speak.
So the situation fell into a strange calm.
In this regard, Charles smiled and didn't care about the cold treatment at the moment.
After all, this place is someone else's territory, and it is already beyond the reach of a rash move.
In fact, if it is not necessary, Charles would not be so "unreasonable", but as he said, in front of the real enemy, the so-called savage is not important at all.
To be honest, continuing to fight has actually had many benefits for him. After all, he can rely on "fighting monsters and upgrading" to improve himself.
But the enemy is not a fool, and it is impossible to die without any need.
If you can't attack for a long time, you may retreat or fall into civil unrest. If that time really comes, staying north of the Great Wall will only send soldiers to the real enemy.
So instead of greeding for the little profits of flies, it is better to treat the unknown enemy with caution.
Coupled with the three-eyed crow's request for help, he felt that negotiations were necessary at this time.
Unfortunately, these people didn't think so much about the worldly feud, and even Robb, hesitated about it.
Negotiation, what can this situation be discussed? Isn’t it the difference between letting savages come in and not letting savages come in?
The other party demands negotiations, and the purpose is naturally to cross the Great Wall and enter the north, but the one side does not want to negotiate. The same is true.
No other options.
Therefore, the reaction of the night watchers was so intense, because the so-called negotiations had not yet begun, and the content was already very obvious.
Unable to put himself in his shoes, Charles naturally could not feel the hatred of the northerners towards the savages.
For thousands of years, despite the Great Wall blocking and large savages were unable to cross, but small groups of savages had never stopped operating in the north. They robbed, raped, and set fire, and basically no grass was left in the land they passed by.
So although his words are actually very credible, despite the threat of White Walkers, they are still very resistant to it.
The meeting ended in silence that day, and then the next day, no effective plan was discussed. However, on the third day, the return of a group broke the current deadlock.
...
"I would never agree before this, but now..."
Under the bell, a group of brothers in black who returned from the wild were welcomed into the Black Castle by all night watchmen. The old and sloppy Geo Mormon, supported by a fat man in black, slowly sat on the first chair in the shield hall. Facing the inquiry from the affairs officer and facing the many sights below, he coughed weakly, and then said: "Agree with their negotiation requirements, Bowen, you go and discuss the specific negotiation rules with Mance."
"Master Commander!"
Hearing this, someone's expression changed and he stood up to object, but what he received was the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch.
He was not willing to give up on this and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by an old Ranger who returned with the commander-in-chief.
"You have never seen the power of those monsters, we have seen them, if not..."
He said, shaking his head involuntarily.
When they set out, they had 300 brothers, but now they only had more than twenty people back. The attacks of a large number of corpse ghosts at the Qiang Peak caused most of the night watchmen to lose.
A lot of people were separated from the team halfway through the road because of civil strife.
In fact, if it weren't for the "resurrected" little Paul who had not been following the fat Samwell's butt and suddenly went crazy and bit a traitor to death, their commander-in-chief might have died in civil strife.
At this crisis, if the commander-in-chief dies, the fate of the night watchman can be imagined.
So, what are the savages in front of those real enemies?
To be continued...
