The king on the Great Wall

After that, it is the stage of wrestling between the "background" behind these businessmen and the hand of the future king's father-in-law, the current king.It is conceivable that while Robert is still alive, Ed is actually invincible. Whether this mighty dragon can suppress the local snake, how much compromise will this northern man make with the local interest groups in King's Landing and the market itself in the end? : How much material suppliers are allowed to raise prices... It depends on the final outcome of the open and secret battle between him and the nobles and rich people of King's Landing.

No matter who wins or loses, the Night Watchman Industry has already received the liquidated damages at that time, and has paid off the debts required for redemption. With the advantage of being the first to obtain information, it has passed the most dangerous start-up test of fund-raising and entrepreneurship, and embarked on On the bright road of expansion and development!

……

The above is Egger and Tyrion's idea. In the plan, these steps are likely to be completed slowly within a few days to a week. In case any diligent cargo owner finishes counting the goods early and prepares to ship them to the Great Wall of Impairment, As the chief logistics officer, I may have to find some excuses to delay - after all, once the ship sets off, I will have to worry about the remaining [-]% of the payment.

……

But in reality, everything went through with astonishing speed.

***

Iger is not the only one who has ears in court.

Since the news of the civil strife in the Valley was sent to King's Landing by the party who initiated the mutiny, Varys' intelligence network did spread all over the Seven Kingdoms, but this incident happened too suddenly. The flying speed is better than the ravens in Runestone City.

Therefore, Maester Pycelle, who was in charge of the management of the ravens, first learned about this upheaval from the official declaration letter of the League of the Righteous, and the second person who learned about it was Queen Cersei, but this old lady with zero political points I didn't think or think about whether this matter would have anything to do with her—and then Varys, but the eunuch's cooperation and support were far across the narrow sea. There is no way to make war fortune in King's Landing... The fourth person to hear the news was the King's Hand, and it was not until he convened the imperial council and informed Robert that the news finally spread to the remaining ministers and the king.

In the end, it was the spies from all sides in the Red Castle with their ears pricked up.

These spies will try to secretly pass the news to their masters, and when the masters realize what the civil strife means, they will send people to the market to inform the merchants of their own interest groups to keep the goods that are about to increase in price.

Each of these steps takes time: The ears and internal agents of the interest groups in the palace, as well as the errand runners who convey information, are generally maids and servants, and the entry and exit of these low-status people will be strictly controlled. , Only at a fixed time in the morning and evening can you pass through the gate every day.

Even if you go out of the gate, you still have to find ways to get the information to the hands of the masters, but it is impossible for the masters to stay in a fixed place all day long and wait for their ears and eyes to send information-in this era without telephones, what is needed to deliver information Too much time.

But what about Arya?During lunch, she heard the discussion between her father Ed and his staff about the civil strife in the valley and the discussion on the specific time of the emergency imperial meeting in the afternoon.Afterwards, the girl followed her guards out of the Red Castle and rode all the way to the Night Watchman's office as usual, met Iger and chatted with each other jokingly. Before the swordsmanship class started, she ostentatiously told Iger this information as a story. .

The idea in the girl's head is simple: Iger always tells her adventure stories, and in return, he must tell her the most exciting and interesting news like "the aunt I have never met is besieged in the Eagle's Nest City" as soon as possible. master.

In this thrilling information race, Littlefinger, who was more likely to be the winner, was put under house arrest in the Chancellor's residence in the Red Castle because of the rumor... So, Iger became confused, lucky and inevitable. Race champion.

After purchasing, the sun has reached the top of the head, and Iger and Tyrion returned to the office.By noon, all the things on the market that might be useful in the war had stopped being sold outside with clearly marked prices. Before sunset, the first sum of six hundred gold dragons plus penalties for breach of contract had been sent to the night watchman's office for release. When they arrived at Iger's table, the person who brought the money also brought a word from their master to Iger and Tyrion: Next time you have inside information, you can cooperate, don't play this kind of trick.

Looking at the large bag of gold coins on the table, Iger and Tyrion were lost in thought.

The Chief Logistics Officer of the Night Watchman broke into a cold sweat and was terrified: Without Arya's first-hand information this time, wouldn't it be that his business in Westeros hadn't even started yet... stillborn? !

The dwarf of the Lannister family frowned and thought of a deeper level: If even a royal residence like the Red Castle is so riddled with information secrecy, is the peace and stability of the Seven Kingdoms completely an illusion?

Chapter 93 Don't talk nonsense, it's just you

Arya had no idea that she had unintentionally become the biggest contributor to the Night Watchman industry. Under the girl's timely report, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as "worth a thousand dollars", Iger survived this journey without any danger. The biggest financial crisis since the ice and fire world.

This wave of operations is all based on luck, and it is not shameful to admit it honestly, but as the old saying goes, this is also part of strength?Under the dual effects of luck and operation, the Night Watchman industry not only survived the crisis in one fell swoop, but even completed a leap in capital.Now, in theory, the funds owned by the Night Watch Corps and actually managed by Tyrion have exceeded the debt in an instant, and the capital chain can now withstand 100% withdrawal and redemption!

On the day the order was completed, more than half of the deposit was miraculously doubled and returned to the Night Watchman's office, and the rest was reluctantly handed over to him after Iger brought his men and the agreement to the door to urge the delivery—— It is worth mentioning that Tyrion suggested that Iger remember the order in which these consignors pay liquidated damages: the first to know the inside information means the bigger the backstage, making a list, in the formation of future interest groups, the largest Probability can come in handy.

Iger readily accepts valuable suggestions.

……

Immediately afterwards, there will be successive bond redemption stages.

King Robert, the most powerful and irascible old man in Westeros, didn't even have a few rounds of negotiations with the "League of the Righteous"-he directly issued an ultimatum, and after a few days of sending the ultimatum, there was no response. Then a mobilization order was issued to formally convene the royal princes and all the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to gather the army of all Westeros to quell the rebellion.

Under such circumstances, it is completely reasonable for the owners of the bonds to take back the golden dragon to buy food, grass and equipment for themselves and their knights and attendants.This is not a malicious redemption, so Iger and Tyrion also "humanized" and took the initiative to cancel the penalty for early redemption of bonds: every bond buyer, as long as they come to the office with the bond, they can take away the principal Plus at least one month's interest, the first buyers who held the bond for more than a month even got a two-month return.

One decision means extra expenses of dozens of gold dragons, but this is not a random distributing of wealth in a flash of the brain, but the hope that through the "easy to gather and disperse" of borrowing and repaying, it is not difficult to borrow again, so that these wealth can be distributed. After the war is over and the owner returns to the king's land and King's Landing, he can still think of putting money into the capital chain of the night watchman industry.

Although the remaining net assets that belong entirely to the Night Watchman industry itself are not a small amount, but with the expansion and development of the project - no one will think that there is too much money in hand.

***

Under the bright summer sun, the king's army began to gather more than a dozen miles north of King's Landing. Similar scenes were also seen in the West, the Reach of the Rivers, the Stormland, and the North, and even Dorne at the southern end of the mainland. are happening simultaneously.That's right, the person sitting on the Iron Throne only has the title of king, and is actually at the same level as the other seven families in terms of status and strength. The control over the seven kingdoms is completely determined by strength and means.

But fortunately, Robert's own force and winning record are extremely deterrent, and under Jon Arryn's management for more than ten years, the original alliance between the several families has not yet broken down, plus Littlefinger, who originally planned to provoke conflicts between the Stark and Lannister families, was also knocked down. In this peaceful atmosphere, the "League of the Righteous" who suddenly jumped out of the valley became the target of public criticism.The lion, wolf, deer, and fish naturally want to rescue the Eagle's Nest City with all their strength, and even the remaining two who once stood on the side of Targaryen in the War of the Reavers became Robert's enemies, so after the establishment of the new dynasty, they have always The Tyrell family and the Dorn Martell family in the Reach outside the core of power, under the circumstances of "both subordinates and legal vassals", faced the king's mobilization call, and did not dare to risk the disgrace of the world open disobedience.

Tyrion directly asserted: More or less, Tyrell and Martell's family will also send some important figures, bringing an army that is just enough to make Robert speechless.

Westeros suddenly showed the appearance of a united army preparing for war with one heart and one enemy. The last time this happened was when the Greyjoy family rebelled in the Iron Islands.And this time, even the ironborn who rebelled against professional households also responded to the call and sent a fleet to come. Although the ships were basically useless when attacking the Vale of Arryn, the attitude must be in place.

***

All of this has little to do with Iger, at least he thinks so.Taking a share of the war is not something that a rootless outsider like him can do. What he wants to do now is to quickly establish the first factory, quickly digest orders from the church and other sporadic small customers, and collect The final payment will inject vitality into the capital chain, and continue to expand after stabilizing its position.

One advantage of the backward era is that it is not complicated to do anything. Two weeks after passing the first capital test in a thrilling manner, the first production line has already started in the factory building that has not yet been completely completed. Hundreds of catties of papermaking Raw materials began to be put into a large stone mortar, and a wooden pestle thicker than a person was driven by a waterwheel to crush the put raw materials one by one.The mashed paper paste is added with alkaline medicinal powder and then flows into the next cooking process. The secret of the assembly line production to ensure a continuous flow of products is: as long as the initial feeding is continuous, no matter how many days the intermediate process takes, the production can continue without stop.

The engraving blocks of the "Seven-Star Bible", calendars, etc. have already been prepared, and only waiting for the large batch of paper to come off the production line.The hired bards and authors also began to continuously transform the stories from word of mouth into words and entities. Since Iger promised them the right to sign their works, the writers worked very hard.Among these stories, the one that Iger cares about the most is a novel based on "his own" story. This book is called "The Fantastic Adventure of the Night Watchman". At the beginning, it tells the process of his travels, travels and explorations... After experiencing countless adventures and growing up, the protagonist begins to be curious about the shape of the world.

At the beginning of the final volume, the adventurer has traveled all over the continent and resolutely set foot on the ship to make the first attempt to circumnavigate the world... Finally, he was shipwrecked and came to Westeros, forced to join the night watchman, and by chance He became an officer of the Blackshirt Army and came to King's Landing to collect food, supplies and manpower for the defenders of the Great Wall.

There are no full-time story writers in this world, and the things written by bards are somewhat rough and fragmented, but the stories themselves are novel and interesting enough, and that is enough.The name of Igger West does not appear throughout the story, but anyone with a little knowledge will know that this is the "Chief Logistics Officer" in the Office of the Night Watchman in King's Landing.

***

This is a bold public relations attempt. The more the novel sells, the more people will know about my "experience". When I really leave the Night Watchman one day in the future, the negative impact and opposition it will cause will be smaller... Iger looked at the drafts of several other novels. Compared with the novel that he outlined and instructed to write, the knight stories passed down by word of mouth among bards are too old-fashioned. He has an intuition: even if only In terms of economic benefits, my own story is also the most profitable one.

In addition, the content of what Tyrion said "can't be put on the table" has also begun to be prepared. Since there is no expert in this field, Tyrion simply invited painters and bards to move into his favorite Brothel, in this place where the atmosphere is most suitable for joint creation, strive to combine pictures and texts.

The dwarf showed Iger the draft of the little yellow book. To be honest, compared with the famous pornographic publications Iger came from in the world, such as "XX Son", "X Gang" and "XX Health", the thing in his hand is simply Garbage, Iger said that he didn't even see Shigeng after watching it... Of course, as a new thing, it remains to be seen how this thing will perform after it enters the market.

Since he had promised his little apprentice a long time ago, Iger handed over the booklet to Arya who was waiting and watching.I thought the girl would throw things back with a blushing face soon, but she giggled and watched with relish while scolding "Master, you are so bad" with a slightly dizzy face-Tyrion almost failed to follow her I want this lonely draft back in my hand.

……

Everything is going well, and the paper produced in the experimental workshop is only used for the printing of the "Seven Star Bible" and the calendar for the time being. When the production line of the factory outside the city is running smoothly, all the preparations will come in handy.

Iger was looking forward to this day, but he waited for other uninvited guests first.A servant from the Red Keep suddenly arrives at the office, claiming that King Robert needs a sworn "true Night's Watch man" to go with his army.

Unfortunately, Iger was the only one who met the conditions in King's Landing.

"Why, do you want the Night Watchman to go out with the army?" Iger asked with wide eyes, and immediately took out the most reliable and useful shield: "The Night Watchman swore not to participate in the internal battles of the Seven Kingdoms."

"His Majesty the King said that when the Blood Gate is breached, he will put on black clothes the few nobles who allowed the rebellion." The servant said proudly with his nostrils upturned: "This requires a real night watchman to receive it and be responsible for it." Escorted to the Great Wall."

"But this is the matter of the 'Wild Crow'. In the department, it is under the control of the chief affairs officer of the night watchman. I am the chief logistics officer!"

How can the visitors tell the difference between your night watchman affairs officer and logistics officer?The servant frowned: "Either you go with me to explain to His Majesty the King, or I go back and tell His Majesty that you rejected his request, I don't care so much. Don't talk nonsense, it's just you!"

Chapter 94

"What are you worried about? You won't be allowed to go to the battlefield, just treat it as a tourist." Tyrion shrugged and comforted: "If you don't climb the mountain and just look at the scenery, the scenery in the valley is still good... Are you still afraid of labor?" Bo Neng lost? No matter how bad it is, it's a draw, okay?"

"I'm not worried about my personal safety, it's just... now that our business is in its infancy and rising, if one of the two giants behind the Night Watchman industry suddenly leaves, this will definitely have a negative impact!"

"Two giants? Chi...thank you!" Tyrion rolled his eyes, this guy is always so different even in flattery, he expressed his admiration for this ability. "With me here in King's Landing, there will be no big trouble. As for you, the king's order, it's best not to use any kind of brains, go this way obediently, and do what you are asked to do. When you come back, the factory will definitely I'm already working in full swing, maybe I'll help you set up a whole interest group, just give you an introduction at that time, and you will become one of the guys with connections and status in King's Landing in minutes, the 'background' in the eyes of others, night watchman In the minds of industry members, they are the 'people above'."

"Well... well, then I can only work hard on you."

"You're welcome, I have to be worthy of your 'giant' compliment. You sign a statement announcing that you have entrusted me to handle everything in the Night Watchman's office while you are away on business, and leave one of your seals, and the rest will be handed over to you. Give it to me, and enjoy your trip to the Vale."

……

Iger decided to act according to what Tyrion said, and he couldn't help himself. He wasn't really thinking about what would happen if the Night Watchman industry left him. A "peerless" level existence, in addition to knowledge, professional knowledge, and height and shape, is not comparable to this time traveler, whether it is the level of means, or brain connections, it is far above the average person like me.Now that the biggest financial crisis has been passed safely, the sky will not fall without him... and with Tyrion's character, he doesn't have to worry about being left alone when he is not around.

Iger is not afraid, but depressed: Tyrion doesn't know that this war can be said to be caused by himself in a sense... I watched it helplessly under the first castle of Winterfell a few months ago When Bran fell from the building, he had the illusion that fate and the plot could not be changed, but it was not until today that he discovered that the plot can not only be changed, but also changed very easily.

As long as you can find the key position of four or two, and touch it lightly, the subsequent plot will be like a domino, and it will be completely changed. Now, not only have I lost the advantage of knowing the plot, but the impact of flapping my wings has also spread back to me. .

It's not a good feeling.There is a word that can describe this situation, what is it called... By the way, "backlash" - I was backlashed by the rumors I spread.

***

The king is the one who gave the order, and Iger is not under his control "in principle", but Ed Star is the only man in Westeros who can defy Robert Baratheon head-on without getting hurt for the time being. Grab one, not to mention that finance needs to be released and even participated by the ruling class in order to continue to play.No matter how you think about it, Gu Di's business cannot escape.There are still a few days before the king's army sets out, and it seems that all Iger can do is to take advantage of this period of time to quickly inform Tyrion of his plan or give instructions, and then hope that his partners and other people under his command can Done.

There is still one month until the next time he "delivers the ransom" or supplies to the night watchman. Iger originally planned to do something with this batch of goods to pave the way for his plan: except for the items on the commander-in-chief's list I will also be obliged to "donate" some supplies—the food on the Great Wall is mediocre, so I arrange that every time I provide supplies, I will bring a few thousand catties of meat and a few buckets of wine to improve the diet of my brothers; There is only one set of cold-proof clothes and shoes and socks. If they get wet or washed, they have to shiver in the room and wait for drying. I will gradually replenish the cold-proof clothes for my brothers.

As long as this cycle continues, the night watchman army will soon form such a phenomenon: every time the "logistics department" supplies goods to the Great Wall, the defenders of the Great Wall can eat and drink a few good meals, receive new clothes, pants, shoes and socks, and even Hats - with these tangible benefits, the new department you created will have a sense of presence... The best part is that these things are actually cheap compared to food, grass and armaments, and you can earn popularity with a little money. Absolutely no loss.

……

Not only should I provide these things, but I will also clearly mark on the boxes or bags that these items come from the "Night Watchman Logistics Department", raised and provided by myself, Iger West - lest those guys far away on the Great Wall enjoy Looking at the big fish and meat and warm clothes that he provided for them, he was blind to his hard work.

The plan was originally highly affirmed by Tyrion, but Iger counted the days and found that there was a high probability that he would not be in King’s Landing when the next batch of supplies was delivered this time. The businessman introduced by Ang, as for where he purchases and sends it to the Great Wall, he is free to do so. Anyway, as long as the final products go to the Great Wall and don’t eat bad people, it will be fine.As for the clothes... Iger found Nina and asked her to organize this for herself: Not only did she have to prepare a batch of black thick warm items, each item had to be embroidered or embroidered in various ways that were not easy to remove. Labeled "Night Watch Logistics", "Executive Produced by Iger West", etc.

Nina's family was originally engaged in industries related to textiles and clothing, so this was not a problem for her.By the way, I can also test this girl to see if she is not only smart, but also beautiful in doing things.

I hope that these smart people around me will not let me down. Being in the safe rear, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the frontline commanders for credit and prestige. not difficult.

……

The redemption of the bonds is coming to an end, and those who haven’t come to get the money up to now either forgot, or they didn’t miss the hundred gold coins at all. In the end, the two thousand golden dragons were redeemed for more than 1000 two hundred—just in In the middle of the two important dividing lines of 50.00% and 70 originally defined.Three days after being appointed by the king to accompany the army, Iger packed his things, took the young attendant named Casey whom he had recruited in King's Landing, and rushed out of the city to the gathering place of the king's army.

The horses galloped, the reins and the metal rings on the bit clinked, bathed in the morning sun, the Chief Logistics Officer and his valet rode out of the gate of the gods, and soon shook the walls of King's Landing together with the stench behind.There was still some riding away from the assembly point, and Iger saw the smoke of the army camp, and then, various voices flooded the farmland on both sides of the road and rushed in, hazy, like the call of the distant sea.

The closer they got, the louder the voices became. When they climbed a dirt slope, the voice became clear instantly. The tents all over the mountains and plains under the summer sun caught their attention: countless campfires filled the air with Pale mist.The horses lined up stretched for miles.The surrounding woods were cleared to make the poles for the banners.Some siege engines that were not easy to rush to work before the war were lined up on the ground on both sides of the King's Road, and some of them were taller than a person with their wheels alone.Countless spear points gleamed red in the sun, and the camps of the princes and knights were like mushrooms after the rain, scattered all over the fields, large and small.

Countless soldiers walk among these "mushrooms", some are riding horses, some are holding spears, some are holding swords, and some are holding bows... Around the barracks, there are busy cart pullers and handymen feeding livestock...

Noisy, the clash of metal and iron between weapons, the neighing of horses, the noises made by humans and poultry mixed together to form a chaotic symphony, and the unique laughter of children was even mixed in during the period... There was still a lot of noise in the air. I can smell the smell of food and excrement, which is much "fresh" than the one in King's Landing City, but it still smells bad after all.People gather together, they need to eat, and then they need to meet their physical needs—thus, Robert’s mobilization order, here in the north of King’s Landing, forms what is in front of the two of them at this moment: the princes and soldiers, and A huge army gathering place formed by the servants, merchants and surrounding people who followed to serve the former.

-

Chapter 95

Not to mention Casey, a young man in King's Landing who has just grown up, even Iger, who has "been in the army", is still involuntarily dumbfounded by the huge barracks in front of him.

Compared with this army gathering place, the Night Watchman's Castle Black is like a small outpost—of course, from a functional point of view, the Night Watchman is indeed the sentinel of the Seven Kingdoms, and there is nothing wrong with this contrast.

How many people are here?Ten thousand, twenty thousand?Or [-], [-]?

The so-called "one thousand people, the ground reaches the sky, and ten thousand people, there is no limit".For ordinary people who have not received professional scouting training, when the number exceeds a certain level, estimating the number becomes an impossible task-ten thousand, fifty thousand or one hundred thousand, if you get close, you can see it with the naked eye. There is no difference, and this is the important confidence that countries in the ancient world dared to wantonly lie about their strength in an attempt to deter the enemy when they fought each other.

To be honest, Iger couldn't tell how many people there were in the army staging area in front of him at all, but in fact, after hearing Tyrion's introduction of the population and economic situation of the king's land, he still had a rough idea of ​​the number of soldiers in the army staging area in front of him. A little bottom.

……

The so-called royal territory is actually a direct-controlled territory. You can understand that the duke of this territory is the owner of the Iron Throne, Robert himself.

This plain is just south of the valley, east of the riverland, and north of the river bend and the stormland. If it weren't for the proximity to the sea, it would be a place of the Four World Wars... In history, there has never been an independent country here. However, it was often under the contention of many forces such as the Riverland and the Stormland. This kind of chaos was disorderly until Aegon the Conqueror landed here on a dragon and began to conquer Westeros, and used the landing point as his The main base of the country and later the territory of the royal capital ended.

Before the Dragon King conquered, the total population of this area was less than 300. After the [-]-year rule of the Targaryen family, under the dual effects of a large number of people moving in and multiplying, it has become the largest city with the largest city, King's Landing, It is a fertile place with the highest population density and the highest per capita wealth in Westeros.

Wealth aside, the population density is the highest—because the royal territory is really small, if the abnormal case of King's Landing is removed, its total population is about the same as that of the vast and sparsely populated northern border.In view of the lack of complete population statistics in this era, it is estimated that the total population of the Royal Land is about 200 million based on various factors.

This time, Robert’s going to the valley to suppress the rebellion was a small-scale local war, and the initiation was naturally not a general mobilization. Under such circumstances, the ruling class will generally try to ensure that the war does not affect the safety of the lives and property of the remaining people and the sustainable development potential of society. .With the level of productivity in this era, the initial mobilization rate should be between 0.5% and 1%—that is, [-] to [-]. This refers to soldiers, not counting those who come to do business and servants.The specific number depends entirely on the authority of the ruler and his ability to control the princes.

Iger couldn't judge how many people were in the army gathering place in front of him, but it was definitely more than [-], and you must know that Cersei later frantically recruited troops to defend King's Landing, and she only gathered a few thousand in hysteria-this huge gap in the number of responders, In fact, it is the most intuitive manifestation of the ruler's control in this "man-rule era".

***

"There are so many people!" the young attendant Casey muttered to himself, his eyes were completely straight.

Iger actually wanted to say this too, but he is the Chief Logistics Officer of the Night's Watch after all, and the "big man" in the eyes of the teenagers. No matter how shocking he is, he still has to show calmness on his face.

"It's quite a lot, let's go, let's see what accommodation the king has arranged for us, and how we should move with the army."

Seeing how calm his parents were, the boy suddenly felt that he must be too ignorant, so he agreed, and quickly drove his horse down the slope with Iger, approaching the assembly place.

If this army goes to the Great Wall, it can beat 10,000+ savages beyond the Great Wall until their parents don't know each other, but now... these people are going to the valley to rescue a crazy woman who murdered her husband... just because her surname was once Tully is also the mother and guardian of the current Duke of the Vale.

……

On the road before, Iger was still complaining: before the fight started, he started thinking about allowing the parents of the Royce and other families to wear black clothes after the fight. For this reason, he even summoned himself, the "night watchman with the army" in a whimsical way. Well, Robert the fat pig is really optimistic enough.

After seeing this army gathering place, he understood where the warrior king's "mysterious self-confidence" came from.

Even though he is so dissolute, he is not a qualified ruler at all in Iger's eyes, but in terms of dominance and prestige, this guy is definitely above the excellent line.Although the fat man's years of distributing wealth and waste indiscriminately caused the Iron Throne regime to be heavily in debt, he personally gained amazing support and great prestige among the middle-class nobles and lower-level knights who had gained "interests and honors".This advanced idea of ​​"overdrafting the future and stabilizing the current ruling situation" through loans, I don't know if Robert is playing the right way, or if he is really wise and foolish.

Granted, the prestige and control gained by spreading money is shaky—but not if the person who uses it often wins battles himself.As long as Robert doesn't die, don't suffer a crippling defeat. This kind of unreliable control power, played in a short-term war for 3 minutes, is no less than any regular army under any excellent social system.

This is just the soldiers of the king's collar, plus the other six countries... If there is no blood gate, the "Alliance of the Righteous" in the valley will not even be able to fight a battle!

***

When he worked as a monk in the office of the night watchman in King's Landing and struck the clock for a day, Iger also knew the coats of arms of the nobles in Westeros. As he rode into the army assembly area dressed in black, many of the coats of arms he seemed to know Chapters appear on the banners that are planted here and there.The stag with the golden crown that symbolizes the Baratheon family is the most, which is nonsense... Besides, he also saw other people on the chests of soldiers and servants, silk banners adorning spears and wooden spears, and tent curtains. Patterns: the crossed hammers of the Lakers, the goblet-carrying sheep of the Stokeworths, the light green waves of the Harvards, and more...

Iger didn't continue to count, Robert personally initiated the mobilization order, and he could guess without thinking: all the families in the king's land must be absent, even if there is only one family left, they will insist on climbing here with the flag, Try to win military exploits in the war to revive the family.

With so many nobles gathered together, it is a good time to engage in financial scams and brainwash them to make money, but now the chief logistics officer needs to find the king first...or at least relevant personnel for placement.

After asking several soldiers in a row, Iger didn't get any valuable reply. It seems that everyone didn't know that King Robert had brought a "night watchman with the army" over.This made Iger feel a little uncomfortable. This is the helplessness of the great gap in power and status: he had expected that the so-called night watchman with the army might just be a sudden magical idea after Robert was drunk——from that servant to find I can see it when I don't even have a token of proof or a letter of commission.

But there is no way, he has to come no matter what, the reason is very simple: he came to the king but completely forgot about this small matter, if he did not come, but the king remembered it, then he would not be able to go around.In any case, the precious farming time of myself, a time traveler, has to be wasted in a boring expedition with the army!

Iger scolded that fat deer countless times in his heart, but he has already come, so naturally there is no reason to go back, if that is the case...not to mention the big reason, his position in the mind of the personal servant will at least drop a lot .
