Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf
Chapter 79 The Birth of the Wolf Guard
"Are you curious? I didn't make your duties clear before."
Lord Tytos Blackwood had just returned from King's Landing. Facing Robb's question, he quickly lowered his head: "Your Majesty must have planned it long ago."
Robb nodded and poured a glass of wine for the earl of Wild Crow City: "Try it, this is one of the longest-stored wines in the West."
The earl of Wild Crow quickly took it, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
I was able to be left alone, and His Majesty personally poured me a glass of wine. As a minister of anti-revolution, I must have special work to do.
Robb didn't say it directly, but chatted with him for a while: "It is rumored that the Blackwood family used to be a vassal of the North, but was expelled to the Riverlands by the Stark family, so you are one of the few families that believe in the old gods except the North."
"Yes, according to the words left by our ancestors, we once ruled the Wolf Forest."
Lord Blackwood had no taboos. That was thousands of years ago. Now it's just a story.
Robb took a sip of wine: "And I heard that you performed well in King's Landing, completely shocking Cersei and Joffrey."
"It's all thanks to your majesty's reputation."
Robb laughed: "You are too modest. I have observed you for a while. You are modest and calm. You are a rare talent. When Jaime defeated the Riverlands, you were able to gather the remnants in time. In King's Landing, you were able to show my northern demeanor."
Lord Blackwood did not speak. He knew that what His Majesty Robb was going to say next was the key point.
"So I gave you the position of Minister of Counter-Revolution. What do you think you are going to do?"
Lord Blackwood thought for a while: "Our spoils are now piled up like a hill. There must be some guys with bad intentions. My task is to eliminate these termites?"
Robb nodded: "Yes, this is your job on the surface."
Blackwood was stunned. He also had a special task?
Robb explained: "Maegy Mormont's job is to enforce military law, but it's okay for her to deal with those soldiers. Once those nobles become corrupt, it will be difficult for her to do so.
She has killed three or four small nobles before, and now her relationship with several ministers on the front line has become a little stiff. If she continues to carry out my orders, I'm afraid she will be isolated."
Blackwood vaguely understood what he was going to do. As the Minister of Counter-Revolution, he mainly monitored those nobles.
Robb continued: "So, I want to form a special team. This team is not aimed at the army or the lower-level soldiers, but only at those nobles.
Its power will exceed everyone's imagination now, including you.
It will spread throughout the kingdom, lurking around every noble, and it will only be responsible to me and communicate with me, and it will not interact with anyone else.
This team will cost the most money besides the army, and it will also have the highest power besides me and the Minister's Council."
Earl Blackwood was a little confused when he heard this.
He knew that Robb might give him some special tasks, but he didn't expect that this task seemed to be much more severe than he thought.
If Robb can fulfill what he said, then he is almost the Hand of the King?
No, there is a difference between him and the Hand of the King. He does not seem to handle those political affairs.
More like a spy?
No, how can a spy lurk around his own people?
Just when Earl Blackwood was still a little confused, Robb solved his doubts.
"I have spent so much money and resources on this team, so naturally I have higher requirements for it.
Anyone who lurks down must deliver messages on time, and everything must be compiled into a book.
Daily reports and monthly reports. You must grasp all the movements of the nobles in the kingdom, their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and correspondence.
In case of an emergency, you can act first and report to me later."
This...
Earl Blackwood was completely shocked. What Robb said today was completely beyond his cognition. What is your majesty going to do?
Monitor all the nobles and ministers?
The difficulty and madness of this is beyond any king in ancient times!
"Your Majesty, is this the right way to do it..."
Robb waved his hand: "You should do it according to my idea first, step by step. I don't ask you to do it to the extent I said at the beginning. The development of things follows certain laws. What you have to do now is to monitor whether there are nobles tampering with materials."
Robb knew that this monitoring agency was still a little beyond the cognition of this era, and he didn't expect Earl Blackwood to do it in a short time.
But things always have to start somewhere.
Starting from investigating the corruption of nobles, the power of this agency will be expanded step by step, from the corruption of the army to other places, and then from other places to all aspects of the lives of nobles.
This may be a long process, which will take several years to slowly settle.
Today is Robb's first step.
"You should understand that if you can really do what I said, your reputation and status will also become unique in the kingdom. This is the agreement between us."
Blackwood looked into Robb's eyes and felt for the first time that the blue eyes revealed a chilling breath.
He weighed it in his heart and soon realized that His Majesty was not here to discuss with him.
Other positions may be negotiable, but after listening to Robb's plan today, this is the only way to choose. He could only nod: "I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's expectations."
Robb raised his glass and clinked it with Lord Blackwood: "Do a good job, we still have a long time."
Blackwood drank the wine in the glass.
At this time, Robb suddenly thought of something and added: "By the way, the name of this team should be Wolf Guard."
"I believe this name will become the most terrifying name in the kingdom."
Lord Blackwood said from the heart.
——
After Lord Blackwood left, Robb picked up a pen and paper and began to write a letter to Lord Severn stationed in Harrenhal.
Robb could not give all the responsibility of the Wolf Guard to one person.
The Minister of Counter-Revolution, Lord Blackwood, was in the clear, and he would push it slowly according to his own wishes, just like boiling a frog in warm water, and establish the system of Wolf Guard before everyone could react.
Then Lord Severn is the second person in charge that Robb has placed in the Wolf Guard. He is in the dark, observing everyone's every move.
After writing the letter, Robb finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After defeating the foreign enemies, he reorganized the administrative systems of the North and the Riverlands, and the situation was completely stabilized.
Next, Robb's focus will be on his navy.
The day of the expedition to the Iron Islands is not far away.
