Chapter 982 Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch

"You said that Helos stayed in the riverlands to fight the plague?"

Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the empire, has a healthy and energetic figure, and is a female knight with excellent swordsmanship and archery.

At the same time, Diana has a beautiful cheek, she has short silver-blond hair curly around her neck, a heart-shaped face full of exotic flavor, and a pair of lavender eyes.

She was slightly surprised to hear Arya's words, then turned and leaned against the window sill, because in her opinion, her brother Heros was not someone who was willing to risk the fate of others.

Simply put, Diana felt that Helos was a very self-centered person.

In fact, Diana knew this as early as their siblings were young. Helos likes to be immersed in his own world, low-key and restrained, although this is the demeanor of a future sage in the eyes of others.

"He probably wouldn't do that."

Then Diana hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"why?"

And Arya, who was wearing a white cloak, heard Diana's words and asked in a puzzled way.

"His Royal Highness doesn't know how to deal with 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 beyond the fortress in the distance, then shook her head and said.

"Because no one knows him better than I do."

Growing up together, no one knew his younger brother better than Diana.

Because of his outstanding talent, Helos is actually extremely conceited in his heart, and he has no other opponents in his eyes, even his sister.

Will he risk staying in the riverlands in order to save the lives of the people?

"But... not necessarily. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"If he does, I'd like to see him."

And then Diana's voice changed, she suddenly smiled, and then said with anticipation.

Because the age difference is only two or three years old, the relationship between Diana and Helos is a good brother and sister.

At least a little better than the little brother. Aemon and his older brothers and sisters are so different in age that they couldn't play together since they were young.

The last ten years of the Great Wall of Despair have passed, and a group of old faces have passed away, replaced by a group of energetic young people.

Jeor Mormont, the 997th commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, closed his eyes forever in a snowstorm, Maester Aemon of the Night's Watch, and Piet who was later exiled to the Great Wall. Scholars have all left the world one after another.

Maester Peysir was born in the 216th year of Aegon's calendar. When he first arrived here, he broke his leg because of a slippery foot. Everyone thought that he would soon die because he did not adapt to the harsh environment in the north.

However, what people didn't expect was that this incompetent scholar who was good at gaining momentum and incompetent had a very tenacious vitality.

He lived until the 315th year of Aegon's calendar and the 24th year of the new calendar. He survived the torment of the long night, and finally lived to the age of ninety-nine, and almost reached the age of one hundred. He finally did not survive, and swallowed it on the hospital bed. The last breath, it can be regarded as a good ending, and it's dead.

The body of the great scholar Paisil was buried behind the Great Wall, on an unnamed hillside outside Mole Village, and a stone tablet was simply erected.

In the next few years, people will forget this name, and then this tomb will become another nameless tomb on this land, but there are still many nameless tombs in this world throughout the ages, and I wouldn't mind another one.

After the death of Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont, the Brothers of the Night's Watch were voted for, and Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, who had voluntarily put on a black coat to atonement, became the Night's Watch. The nine hundred and ninety-eighth commander-in-chief.

But he is also likely to be the last commander-in-chief elected by vote.

Because now the rules for recruiting soldiers of the Night's Watch have changed. Due to the shortage of manpower, the members of the Night's Watch are mixed with all kinds of people from the seven kingdoms, farmers who can't afford food, people who can't pay their debts, and poachers. rapists, rapists, thieves and illegitimate children.

Among them, only a few members are from nobles or families with titles, and the reason why most of them join the Night's Watch is often a forced choice because of the defeat in the political struggle within the kingdom.

However, since the two White Walkers and the Long Night, the rules of the Night's Watch have changed.

People learned that the White Walkers really existed, and the Legion of the Night's Watch, which had been neglected for thousands of years, became important once again, and the remnants of those society should not be flooded in the Legion.

Today, the Night's Watch is recruiting as usual as the rest of the Empire, and the proportion of criminals in it has been severely reduced, and the size of the Legion has gone from about a thousand in King Robert's time to 30,000 now.

And because of this, the position of the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch has gradually become more important, and has become a corps worthy of the name guarding the northern part of the empire, stationed in the northern border.

If the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch Legion intends to rebel, just like the Night King back then, the 30,000-strong fully-armed legion will devour the entire northern territory in an instant.

So now Eddard Stark, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, is actually doing a day.

Because of the news revealed from the King's Landing Hall, it may not be long before the top of the Empire will assign a new commander of the Night's Watch to replace Eddard Stark's position, and Eddard will also be transferred. Handrails for this person.

This news comes from Eddard Stark's eldest son-in-law, Vilas Tyrell, the former Prime Minister of the Royal Palace, so the accuracy is still quite high.

This piece of inside information is not very important, and his father-in-law is not someone who is too greedy for military power, and he is not going to rebel, so Vilas disclosed this news to him, which is also considered to let Ed prepare early. .

According to the information revealed by Vilas, the person who may replace him in the future is the current eldest princess, Diana Targaryen, who is currently relaxing on the Great Wall of Despair.

As a bystander, Eddard Stark was deeply worried about this as he had been away from the affairs of the Empire.

Because His Majesty the Emperor disappeared, the Red Fort claimed that Viserys was not dead, but was recuperating somewhere, but the country could not be without a master forever, especially the three children of His Majesty the Emperor were growing up.

The Empire is heading in an extremely dangerous direction.
