Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

In the next month, Ian temporarily put the matter of 'Lightbringer' behind his mind. It was not that it was unimportant, but that he had no way to verify these conjectures before he actually met the Night King.

Of course, what really reassured Ian was that the King of Light, whose strength had greatly increased due to the new believers in the empire, did not convey any new revelations to him. This meant that in the future that the King of Light saw, Yi With the 'elements' he currently possesses, En is enough to win this holy war of life and death and fulfill the prophecy of salvation.

In other words, ‘Lightbringer’ is already in Ian’s hands.

Therefore, the biggest challenge that Ian needs to face now is not the Night King, but the military morale that continues to decline over time.

Fortunately, those legions who followed Ian from Gith, whether they were the Unsullied, the Slave Iron Legion, or the proud New Gith Citizen Army, they regarded Ian as a god, and naturally they would not question Ian's orders. .

But rumors have already spread among the armies of the major nobles in Westeros and even in the camps of some Volantis legions.

Through the vision of the crow deployed on the Lance Castle, the tallest tower in Castle Black, Ian can see Eddard Stark rushing towards the place where he currently lives. He can basically guess that Eddard's trip is Here for these rumors.

Ian had just finished reading a report from Volantis when he heard a knock on the door and the voice of the guard at the door, "Your Majesty, Duke Eddard Stark wishes to see you."

"Let him in." Ian put down the pen and paper and stood up.

"Please come in, Your Majesty the Duke." The guard immediately helped Ed open the door.

"Your Majesty." After Ed Stark walked in the door, he immediately bowed respectfully to Ian. In fact, in Gith and Volantis, anyone who meets Ian needs to bow down, but Ian has not made such a request to them for the time being.

"Rise, Duke."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Eddard Stark stood up and got straight to the point, "Actually, the reason for my visit is..."

"For the nobles and sergeants in the army, maybe ask me a question." Ian said first.

"Ah" Ed was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, you are just like General Belicio said, you know everything." He sighed, and then continued, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have been praised by many colleagues and confederates." There is a question asked by me, and they want to know the answer." Ed said, hesitating again, and seemed to be unable to speak.

"They doubt the authenticity of the existence of the Cold God, the Night King and the White Walkers." Ian once again helped Ed speak, and then shook his head with a smile, "No, it's not doubt. In fact, they have never believed in these things. Existence, for my actions, they think this is just a means for me to promote the belief of the Red God in Westeros.

This idea mainly stems from the advice given to them by the monks of the Church of the Seven Gods and their bachelors these days. I can’t kill them all, that will only make things worse. So I could only watch such remarks spread in the military camp, first among the nobles, and then among the soldiers. After I forced them to build the second line of defense after the Great Wall, but the White Walker army failed to come, these rumors became even more widespread. . "

"Your Majesty, you know everything?" Ed said in surprise.

"Didn't you just say that? I know everything."

"But, if that's the case, why don't you stop them?"

"How to stop it?"

"Clear the rumors and tell them the truth."

"Didn't I do this? The red-robed monks in the camp tell them the truth every day, but people will only believe what they want to believe. Unless I catch a living corpse and put it in front of their eyes, I won't say anything. Many times it was in vain.”

"this"

"Relax, it won't be long before the army of White Walkers arrives under the Great Wall, and these ridiculous rumors will be dispelled. Think about it, wasn't there still a rumor among the nobles that I tried to use winter to eliminate them? Was it the rumor that they would then divide the land of Westeros between the Volantis and the Gith? When sufficient rations and warm clothing were distributed to the sergeants, wouldn't that rumor be self-defeating? "Ian smiled very naturally and confidently, but he knew that this smile was actually forced.

Ian is just in the heart of Eddard Stark. As long as Ed believes in him, he can help him stabilize a large number of Westeros nobles, and those nobles can help him stabilize the people below. knights and soldiers.

In Westeros, Ian has not established the "absolute authority of the emperor." Although the Battle of the Boat River made the Westeros nobles fear the strength of the Imperial Legion, this is two different things from making them trust Ian. . On many issues, things would be much easier if Eddard Stark stepped in to solve them.

"Go," Ian continued, "tell them that everything is under my control, and all they need to do is to be patient and courageous. If they really have nothing to do, let them visit me more The generals of Gith, the veterans of the Legion, will tell them stories about me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Encouraged by Ian, Ed Stark's doubts and uneasiness were suppressed. After saluting Ian again, he left Ian's study.

As Ed left, the smile on Ian's face gradually disappeared.

The Night King's delay made him very irritated. If the White Walker army began to invade in a short time, then the current problem would not be a problem, but what if the Night King really delayed for three to five years? By then, not only will their various resource supplies be in trouble, but the mentality of these nobles and soldiers who have to garrison endlessly in this ice and snow because of a "ghost that does not exist in the old nurse's story" will also collapse.

Although this time can allow Ian's dragon to further grow, facing the Night King, the dragon may not be the decisive weapon. After all, if the Night King may kill the fire dragon with a javelin sneak attack, he may not be able to kill him. The ice dragon resurrected by the Night King.

Prolonged delay is definitely not good for Ian. If the Night King really doesn't take action, maybe Ian will be forced to take the initiative to march to the land of eternal winter.

"No, this won't work either." Ian thought and quickly shook his head.

With the current morale of the army, they are strong enough to hold the line, but are they allowed to take the initiative to march into the snow? They probably mutinied immediately. Although it is not difficult for Ian to suppress the mutinous soldiers with the help of the Gith Legion, these people have their own fighting power.

"Wait a minute. What did I just say to Ed?" Immediately afterwards, Ian suddenly remembered what he had said inadvertently - unless he caught a living corpse and brought it back to show everyone.

Maybe it works?

Although the future food and grass problem has still not been solved, being able to show the evidence of the existence of the White Walkers to the army and stabilize the morale of the army can be regarded as solving a big problem. (End of chapter)
