"Special explanation: Promoted knights who meet the merits of beheading and pass the review of the noble review team do not only have the title of being officially canonized.
Your majesty Robb will give you golden dragons, fields, and even castles as substantial rewards!"
"Oh my God!
!”
"Isn't this the equivalent of a wealthy knight? Once you have your own land, you can recruit farmers to cultivate it and raise soldiers to protect your private property."
"The Seven Gods bless the King of the North! His new law will be a bright road that we civilians can also embark on!"
"Yes, it's too difficult for civilians to get promoted!
In the past few decades in our Western Region, the founder of the Clegane family risked his life to save Duke Tytos, received a reward, and became a wealthy knight family."
The clerk's announcement of the second new law did not arouse much reaction. But as soon as the third new law was announced, all the civilians near the execution platform broke out into more heated discussions than when the first new law was announced.
"Ah! It's true. That rumor is true. Tomad, we can also be promoted to citizens and knights through military exploits!"
Maier, like other civilians around him, was very excited after hearing the third new law, shaking Tomad's arm and shouting excitedly at him.
"Hey, Miles, don't be so excited. You make me feel like you have become a knight now."
With a smile on his lips, Tomad turned his head and replied to the excited Maier.
"Since this new law is true, then the rumors about recruiting new soldiers should also be true. I want to join the army, and I want to gain military merit. I want to become a knight, so that my grandma and younger brothers and sisters can live a good life."
Looking at Tomad, who was relatively calm, Maier gradually calmed down. He turned to look at the clerk who was waiting for the crowd to calm down, and said with very firm eyes.
Maier's family situation was worse than Tomad's. When the battle broke out in Lannisport, his parents were selling catch in the port area. During the hasty escape, they both died under a stone as big as a millstone that fell from the sky.
.
After the strong Maier, grandma, brother, and sister came to the North, they were not afraid of hard work and did dirty work to support the family. With the supplies distributed by Winterfell, the family survived with difficulty.
Tomad looked at the expression on Maier's side face and thought about his mother who couldn't find a suitable job at home and could only make money by cleaning clothes. His eyes also became firm.
At this moment, many civilians who heard about the third new law, including Tomad and the two young men from the West, came up with the idea of joining the army to change their destiny.
"Article 4: Call for labor. His Majesty Robb announced the construction plan for the next five years. The first is to build a city wall that includes the Winter Fair and Winterfell. Now there is an urgent need for a large number of laborers to carry out the construction work.
The workers recruited this time will be paid daily and will be given two meals. There is no age limit for recruitment, and the specific salary will be calculated based on the workload of the day."
When the clerk first heard that workers were being called for, the crowd fell silent and looked down at the ground. It was as if the clerk was here to select them as laborers.
But I heard him say later that the workers were also paid and provided with two meals. Immediately, everyone was eager to try and prepared to ask questions and discuss.
"Don't worry, everyone, let me explain in detail!"
Seeing that the crowd of onlookers was a little restless, the affairs officer immediately spoke first and continued,
"The workers recruited this time will be paid according to normal market prices. There is no restriction on the age of recruitment, which means that no matter you are young, old or children, you can participate in the work.
There are specialized affairs officers who will allocate and calculate your salary based on your age, physique, and work experience.
For example, if you carry ten large bluestones for the city wall in one day, your salary will be calculated based on this workload.
If you only dig one basket of soil a day, you will also be billed based on this amount of work.
To borrow the words summed up by His Majesty Robb, the more you work, the more you get, the less you work, the less you get, and the more you work, the less you get!"
As soon as the steward finished speaking, the crowd broke out into heated discussion again. However, this time, all the comments were overwhelmingly positive about Robb.
After all, when the lord recruits his subjects to work, even if they don't give them any payment or food, you have to bring your own dry food to do the work.
"Article 5, the Winterfell army will recruit new recruits, and anyone aged 16 or above can participate. As long as they can pass the recruitment screening, the citizen level will be given priority in recruitment, and those who join the army will have the qualifications to be engraved in the warriors' tombs.
As long as one person is beheaded at the civilian level, they will also be eligible to be engraved in the warrior's tomb. As for what a warrior's tomb is, just ask other people to know.
Well, that’s all the new law announced today, and will be supplemented in the future.”
After the clerk announced all the new laws, he left in a hurry. It seemed that he was afraid of being constantly questioned by the crowd of onlookers and would be unable to get away for a long time.
After hearing what the warrior tomb was from the people talking around him, the determination on Maier's face became even stronger.
"Tomad, did you hear that? Your Majesty Robb is simply too thoughtful. As long as we can join the Winterfell army, our family will not have to worry about life.
If we are lucky, we can continue to use our merits in battle to be promoted until we become a knight. Even if we are unlucky enough to die in battle, our families will receive generous pensions and will be properly arranged."
Looking at Maier who had completely forgotten that his parents died because of the Northern Army, Tomad couldn't help but feel that the new law promulgated by the King of the North was a bit scary.
He forced a smile on his face, nodded and replied to Maier: "Well, we meet the age requirements and are relatively strong, so we can definitely join!"
The new law promulgated today spread throughout Winterfell and the Winter Fair as the crowds of onlookers dispersed. For a time, there were endless debates about the new law, but overall it received good reviews and avoided negative reviews.
The changes after the promulgation of the new law slowly emerged, the former northern civilians are now northern citizens.
Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, your face begins to show a sense of recognition and pride for your current status.
When they faced the current civilian class in the north, they already had a feeling of superiority, which filled their hearts with a certain indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Correspondingly, the sense of gap in the hearts of the civilians in the northern border is very strong. In the past, although it was difficult to integrate into the environment of the aboriginal people in the northern border, there was no such obvious class contrast as now.
Some civilians in the North thought that as long as they lived for more than two years, they could become citizens of the North, and they gradually started to get used to it.
Another part of the northern civilians are unwilling to accept it and want to join the northern citizen class as soon as possible. Then, there is only one quickest way, and that is to join the army and make military exploits!
With the promulgation and implementation of several new laws, the former civilians of the Western Territory completely abandoned their previous guest-like attitude and began to slowly and truly integrate into the entire Northern Territory.
These situations were actually expected by Robb. He had been thinking about how to solve this problem as early as the way back to Winterfell.
In fact, the core of the household registration system implemented by Robb is based on the Eight Banners system of the ancient Chinese country in the previous life, or to explain it in more modern terms, it is like the Giant Comics and Honorary Malay system in the previous life.
The core of these systems is to use external threats to one's own advantage and divert conflicts between the two parties.
The new law takes advantage of the sense of class gap to allow some civilians who are unwilling to accept the status quo to strive to join the citizen class.
Robb will let these people manage other civilian classes in the future. At that time, these people will become the targets of resentment and hostility from other civilian classes.
This system is very consistent with the current situation in the North in a short period of time. The new recruits recruited by Winterfell this time will definitely have high morale and be brave enough to fight due to the encouragement of the new law.
Time passed slowly like this, and the new law slowly spread from Winterfell to the entire North.
Robb supervised the Wolf Guard training every day, and the four fruits produced by Leaf every day were also carefully stored by Sam. Gendry kept trying to design a fruit belt...
After nearly half a year of turmoil among the kings, Westeros seemed to have entered an intermission, and no more wars involving more than ten thousand people broke out.
Of course, the chaotic wars in Dorne are still going on in the valley, and the heads of some false kings who have proclaimed themselves kings have become the showpieces of the victors.
Powerful forces such as the Stark family, the Lannister family, the Tyrell family, etc. began to gather strength for the upcoming second half.
…
Late one night two months later, three figures were walking through various alleys in the winter market of Winterfell.
With their agility, they avoided various obstacles and drunkards in corners, and quickly headed towards the outermost city wall being built.
call!
When they jumped over the half-finished city wall that only reached their waists, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"We have been doing it honestly during this period, and the terrifying direwolf has finally not appeared in the prison again in the past few days.
Leaf, shall we use True Shape now?"
Wood Dancer Vine looked back behind him, then turned to the leaves next to him and asked.
"Bloodwind is indeed very scary, but it is definitely not a direwolf. Thorns, how is your health?"
Hearing this, Ye Zi first corrected the mistake in Vine's words, and then talked about the thorns that had been seriously injured before.
"No problem. Although I have been pretending to be seriously injured in prison. But after your secret herbal treatment during this period, my body has almost recovered and I can use true transformation."
Thorns smiled at Ye Zi and nodded to confirm that there was nothing wrong with him.
"Okay, although I used the 'Whisper of the Forest' to put the entire prison guards into sleep, I don't know when others will find out.
Thorns has just recovered, so Vine can form a direwolf first! Then you will take turns to rest, and we will head to the Great Wall as quickly as possible and return home through the secret passage."
Seeing Jingjie confirming that he was fine, Ye Zi nodded and directly stated his decision.
"good!"
The vine replied, and its entire body once again turned into squirming plasticine, finally shaping into a direwolf covered in gray fur.
Leaves and thorns quickly climbed up the vine-shaped direwolf's back. The two leaves were so light that they weighed as much as a strong adult man.
The direwolf, whose shape-changing vines carried the two of them, exerted no pressure on its back. It exerted force on all four limbs at the same time, and suddenly shot towards the north of Winterfell like a sharp arrow.
About twenty minutes after they left, a large cavalry team consisting of horses and direwolves arrived outside the city wall.
"Captain Weil, judging from the traces, one of the Wood Dancers should have transformed into a direwolf and led the other two people towards the north.
Their goal must be to go to the wolf forest next to the Long Lake. Then use the wolf forest as a cover to cross the Last Hearth and head to the Great Wall of Despair."
A wolf guard who was good at tracking traces got off his horse. After a general inspection, he reported his judgment to the wolf guard commander Weir.
"Well, the wolf knight will follow me in pursuit quickly. The others will try their best to keep up with us on horseback."
Riding on a huge black-furred direwolf, the burly Will thought for a moment before giving his order.
"yes!"
All the Wolf Guards responded in unison, and four Wolf Guards, also riding black-furred direwolves, came out of the crowd and came to Weir's side.
Will nodded to them, immediately patted the black-furred direwolf on his crotch, and galloped towards the long lake. The other eight Wolf Guards, with their slightly smaller gray-furred direwolves, chased them on horseback.
go.
It is strange to say that Robb's blood bond points have always been distributed evenly. But among the thirteen direwolves of the Wolf Guard, the five black-furred direwolves grew faster than the other eight gray-furred direwolves.
However, the remaining eight gray-furred direwolves only need to grow a little more before all of the Wolf Guard can become Wolf Knights.
I don’t know if the three leaves felt the pursuit of the Wolf Guards. They had not rested all night since they escaped from Winterfell. They would only stop for a short time occasionally to let the vines and thorns rotate and easily form direwolves on their way.
The next day, Chaoyang had just squeezed out half of his body, and the five of Weir were already chasing behind the three of Ye Zi.
The reason why she was able to catch up quickly was due to Thorn's injury. Although she said there was no problem at all, when she transformed into a direwolf and rushed on the road, her speed was slower than that of vines.
Rest, rest, rest!
The five arrows missed and made a sharp sound as they shot towards Ye Zi and the others.
The direwolf, which had transformed from vines, heard the sound of breaking through the air, and jumped directly to the left to avoid missing these arrows.
However, the three Yezi people, who needed to avoid missing arrows and could no longer escape in a straight line, were chased by the five Weir people behind them after escaping the fourth wave of missing arrows.
"Soldier, run towards them!"
Will called his direwolf's name, and while using his right hand to pull out the long sword from its scabbard, using the training signal, he stretched out his left hand and patted the left side of the direwolf's neck to help it understand.
Whoosh!
After two months of training, the smart direwolves can already understand their own names and roughly understand specific hand signals. It directly hit the vines with its whole body, and Weir also took advantage of the situation and quickly swung his sword.
.
clang!
Thorns used the long sword that came from the guard when he was escaping to directly receive Weir's attack. But then the fierce collision between the two direwolves caused Thorns to fall from the direwolf.
As wood dancers of the melee type, their physical fitness is very strong. When the Thorns fell to the ground in the air, they immediately took a correct posture. At the moment of landing, they used the rolling force to unload the force and performed a final somersault to stand firmly on the ground.
Clang, clang!
As soon as she stood firm, the two Wolf Guards drove their direwolves, passing her from the front and back, and swung their swords to attack at the same time. However, their attacks were easily resolved by the thorns.
When the thorns were dealing with two wolf guards, Leaf, who was sitting in front and firmly grasping the vine's neck, did not fall, and Weir, who was sitting firmly on the wolf saddle made by Gendry, also began to fight.
As a singer, Ye Zi did not have the physical fitness of a wooden dancer. But she took out a handful of green powder from the small bag on her waist and threw it directly towards Weir beside her.
At the same time, a chant-like pronunciation of the original language came out of her mouth.
Oops!
A flash of green light flashed, and all the green powder in the air exploded, and sparks filled the sky toward Weir and the warriors.
Upon seeing this, Weir immediately threw away the sword in his hand, turned over and jumped out of the wolf saddle. The warrior's back suddenly felt light, and it nimbly jumped forward, letting all the sparks fall behind it.
Weir, who fell to the ground, did not have the physical ability of Thorns. He could only hold his head in his hands and roll along, trying his best to reduce the damage to his body.
Although Weir fell to the ground, the other two wolf guards were tightly entangled with Vine and Leaf. In addition, they had not caught the thorns, so they could not leave directly.
Weir took a short rest and mounted the warrior again to join the battle. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate, attacking back and forth.
Da da da!
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and suddenly there was a loud sound of horse hooves in the distance. After receiving the order, the eight gray-furred direwolves accelerated their speed, broke away from the cavalry team, and galloped towards the battlefield, preparing to assist Weir and the others in the battle.
Seeing that his side was about to fall into an absolute disadvantage, Ye Zi took out a handful of materials from his waist and prepared to use a wide range of magic.
