Chapter 961 Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch Legion
, Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon
"You said Horos stayed in the Riverlands to control the plague?"
Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the empire, has a healthy and energetic figure. She is a female knight who is excellent in swordsmanship and archery.
At the same time, Diana also had a beautiful face, short curly silver-blond hair that reached her neck, a heart-shaped face full of exotic charm, and a pair of lavender eyes.
She was slightly surprised when she heard Arya's words, then turned around and leaned on the window sill, because in her opinion, her brother Horos was not a person willing to risk his life for the fate of others.
To put it simply, Diana felt that Heros was a very self-centered person.
In fact, Diana knew this when the two siblings were young. Heros liked to be immersed in his own world, low-key and restrained, although this seemed to others to be the demeanor of a future wise king.
"He probably wouldn't do that."
Then Diana hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Why?"
Arya, who was wearing a white cloak, heard Diana's words and asked with some confusion.
"His Royal Highness Heros doesn't know how to control the plague?"
"No, I dare say there is nothing in this world that this nerd doesn't know."
Diana stood in the castle at the Queen's Gate, looking at the scenery outside the wall in the distance, then shook her head and said.
"Because no one knows him better than me."
Growing up together, no one knew her brother better than Diana.
Because of his outstanding talent, Holos was actually extremely conceited. He had no other rivals in his eyes, not even his sister.
Will he risk staying in the Riverlands in order to save the lives of the people?
"But that's not necessarily the case. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"If he really did this, I would like to go and see him."
Then Diana changed her words, suddenly smiled, and then spoke expectantly.
Because the age difference is only two or three years, the relationship between Diana and Herros is very good.
At least it's better than his little brother. The age difference between Aemon and his older brothers and sisters is so big that they haven't been able to play together since they were young.
Ten years have passed on the Great Wall of Despair, and a group of old faces have passed away, replaced by a group of energetic young people.
Jeor Mormont, the former 997th Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, closed his eyes forever in a snowstorm, Maester Aemon of the Night's Watch, and the faction who was later exiled to the Great Wall.
Grand Maester Schell has all passed away one after another.
Grand Maester Pycelle was born in 216 Aegon Calendar. When he first arrived here, he slipped and broke his leg. Everyone thought he would die soon because he could not adapt to the harsh environment in the north.
However, what people didn't expect was that this bachelor, who was good at following people's influence and was incompetent for his job, was actually very tenacious.
He lived until the year 315 of Aegon's calendar and the year 24 of the new calendar. He survived the long night of suffering, and finally lived to be ninety-nine years old, almost reaching a hundred years old. Only then did he finally not make it through and swallowed in the hospital bed.
With his last breath, he could be considered to have a happy ending and die.
The body of Grand Maester Pycelle was buried behind the Great Wall, on an unnamed hillside outside Mole Village, and a stone monument was simply erected.
In the future, people may forget this name in a few years, and then this tomb will become another nameless tomb on this land. However, there have been many nameless tombs in the world throughout the ages, and they will not mind the addition of one more.
After the death of Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont, the brothers of the Night's Watch were voted into office. Eddard Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, who was the former Warden of the North and voluntarily put on black clothes to atone for his sins, became the Night's Watch Legion.
The 998th Commander-in-Chief.
But he is also likely to be the last commander-in-chief elected through voting.
Because the rules for recruiting soldiers to the Night's Watch have been changed. In the past, due to manpower shortage, the members of the Night's Watch were a mixture of people from all seven kingdoms, including farmers who couldn't afford to eat, people who couldn't pay off their debts, and poachers.
rapists, thieves and illegitimate children.
Only a few of them come from noble families or families with titles, and most of them join the Night's Watch as a last resort because of their defeat in the political struggles within the kingdom.
However, since the two White Walker Wars and the Long Night, this rule of the Night's Watch has changed.
People learned that the White Walkers really existed, and the Night's Watch Legion, which had been neglected for thousands of years, became important again, and the remnants of society naturally could not fill the Legion.
Nowadays, the Night's Watch Legion recruits people as usual like legions in other parts of the empire, and the proportion of criminals among them has been seriously reduced. The size of the legion has also increased from about a thousand people during King Robert's time to 30,000 people now.
And because of this, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch has gradually become more important, becoming a legion that truly guards the north of the empire and is stationed in the north.
If the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch intends to rebel, just like the Night King back then, 30,000 heavily armed legions will march south and engulf the entire northern territory in an instant.
So now Ed Stark, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, is actually just taking it one day at a time.
Because of the news revealed from the King's Landing court, it may not be long before the empire's top brass will appoint a new Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch to replace Ed Stark's position, and Ed will also change his position.
A handrail for this person.
This news comes from Eddard Stark’s eldest son-in-law, Willas Tyrell, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court, so the accuracy is quite high.
This internal information is not very important. His father-in-law is not a person who is greedy for military power, and he is not prepared to rebel. Therefore, Vilas revealed this information to him, which can be regarded as allowing Ed to prepare in advance.
.
According to the information revealed by Willas, the person who may replace him in the future is the current Princess Diana Targaryen who is currently relaxing on the Great Wall.
As a bystander who had always stayed away from imperial affairs, Eddard Stark felt deeply worried about this.
Because the Emperor was missing, the Red Keep claimed that Viserys was not dead but was recuperating somewhere. However, the country could not be without an owner forever, especially as the Emperor's three children were growing up.
The empire is heading in an extremely dangerous direction.
