The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Chapter 245: Dragon Stone Island·Eastern Guardian·Night Watcher’s Kingdom Shield

"Your Majesty!" Ed Stark said, "Cersei, the widow of the former king, was thrown into a black jail, and Tyrion Lannister was also in jail. Toman and Messiah were left unattended. I want to adopt as an adopted son. I implore your majesty for permission."

"That's right!" Stannis was always brief and concise.

Ed Stark signaled that the North Guard immediately went up and picked up Toman and Messiah, and the two children choked. Jory Kelso knelt down and whispered: "Don't cry, I will take you to find your mother later." Toman said: "You are a bad guy, I don't trust you." Messiah said, "Really. ?uncle."

"Jory Kelso nodded: "Or I will take you there now, okay, Messiah? "

"I'll go too." Toman said.

"Okay, let's go."

The two children followed Jory Kelso, crying less and less.

Ed Stark said: "Your Majesty, Cersei and Tyrion are in jail for crimes, and Tywin Lannister in the west will inevitably raise troops. Please make arrangements early."

Stannis's consistent indifferent tone: "He wants to fight, then fight."

"Your Majesty, please immediately reorganize the important ministers of the Imperial Council. Hello, everyone will perform their duties and serve the country."

Stannis stared at Ed Stark, his gaze slowly moved away, and then glanced at the audience. His dark blue eyes were like the night: "Master Ed, you clean out the treacherous ministers, protect the king, and give you Longshidao. The fief, the guardian of the north, the legal guardian of Robert Aylin, the heir of Aylin Valley, and the guardian of the east."

"Your Majesty!" Ed Stark knelt down and thanked him, "Your Majesty, for the defense of the West, please allow me to leave in the next day, return to the North, and summon the vassal lords of the North and East to rectify. Soldiers and horses, be prepared to guard against the West. For example, if the soldiers and horses of the west attack King's Landing, or other kingdom lords make changes, the minister will lead the army of the north, and then join the army of the east to advance south, and work with your majesty to eliminate the rebels."

As long as Cersei's head falls to the ground, war is bound to go. Renly Baratheon would not recognize Stannis's kingship.

"quasi!"

"Your Majesty, once the ministers return to the northern border to rectify their troops and horses, they will no longer be able to share the worries and solve problems for the adults in the Red Fort of King's Landing. As the prime minister, please choose another lord with noble honor."

"Master Ed, the position of Prime Minister will be reserved for you forever. You will still be the Prime Minister of your country when you leave. But you must nominate a loyal person to temporarily replace you as Prime Minister of King's Landing. Once the kingdom is peaceful, seven The lord of the country surrenders, and the swordsman is not happy, you must come back and continue to be the hand of the king.

"The minister recommends Sir Davos Silvers as a temporary substitute." Ed Stark said slowly after looking around the courtiers.

Davos Seaworth was taken aback: "My Excellency Prime Minister, I don't even know Chinese characters, so don't..."

"The acting prime minister can be equipped with a special bachelor of moral character, and when issuing orders, adults only need to move their mouths. If there are letters, adults only need to have ears." Ed Stark said, "There are many people who can read and write, but dare to speak out. , There are too few loyal people."

"I came from a humble background and it's hard to convince people..." Davos was frightened.

Stannis said coldly: "Davos, I want to bring justice to Westeros, and you deserve justice. Kneel down, Sir Davos."

"His Majesty?"

"Because of the salted fish and onions, I made you a riding soil. Now, with the honorary recommendation of Lord Ed Stark, I will promote you to lord."

"I'm very satisfied to be a knight, Your Majesty..."

"Kneel, your king is ordering you." Stannis' voice was not warm.

Davos knelt down, and Stannis took the long sword handed over by the red-robed woman Melisandre. The body of the sword was shining with weird light, orange for a while, yellow for a while, red for a while, blue for a while, colorful changes, and the surrounding air also changed and glowed, brilliantly dazzling.

Stannis stepped off the Iron Throne and put his sword on Davos's shoulder: "Sir Davos of the Seaworth family, are you my loyal subject from today and forever?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Are you willing to swear to serve me for the rest of your life, to give me honest advice and absolute obedience."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Are you willing to protect my rights and my country, no matter the future is difficult and dangerous, always stand by my side, benefit my people and punish my enemies?"

"I do, Your Majesty."

"Then, get up, Davos Silvers, Earl of Rainforest, Commander of the Narrow Sea Fleet, on behalf of the King."

Davos stood up, his face flushed. In the eyes of other lords and nobles, no matter what high position I reach, I am a despicable smuggler.

Ed Stark said: "Your Majesty, the North has always been an ally of the night watchman. In the battle to clear out the Lannister rebellious guards, there are prisoners who are willing to be the night watchman. Please meet with your Majesty and allow me to send the north. The guards escorted them all the way to the Great Wall in the north."

Escort, that is, escort.

"Good!" Stannis said.

He returned to the Iron Throne, and Bolong and Angai dressed in black, as well as several black brothers, walked out of the dense queue.

"You volunteered to be the night watchman?" the king asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Melisandre stared at these men in black. She saw that their eyes were different. Melisandre penetrated the minds of these men in black: In fact, no one went voluntarily, but was forced by the situation. As a last resort. Her gaze fell on Angai's face, but the freckled teenager was really happy, which made her slightly puzzled.

"I want to hear the vows of your night watchmen."

The eight-claw spider Varys was slightly surprised: The man in black who has not been trained yet can't recite the declaration of the man in black, unless someone has taught it beforehand.

But why did anyone deliberately teach them to recite the night watchman's oath beforehand?

Varys' eyes flickered, and this situation became more and more interesting. In order for the Targaryen family on the other side of the narrow sea to regain the kingdom, he did design something to make the kingdom chaotic, but he did not want the night watchman to participate in it.

Bolongangai and several people in black immediately recited in unison: The long night is approaching, I will watch from now on until I die. I will not marry a wife, will not have a fief, will not have children. I will not wear a crown, nor will I compete for honor. I will do my duty faithfully and live and die. I am a sword in the dark, a guard on the Great Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the horn to awaken the sleeper, and the shield to guard the kingdom. I dedicate my life and glory to the night watchman, tonight, every night. ?

Ed Stark pays attention to Melisandre's reaction, her red eyes are like a beating flame.

Stannis said: "Night watchmen, you are the shields that guard the kingdom. I appreciate this sentence. Lord Ed, courtiers, nobles, knights and ladies, sergeants and soldiers, the kingdom of Stannis I will begin. The new history will be completely different from other kings. I will fully support the cause of the night watchman. I will ask for money for money and people for money.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The night watchman and Ed Stark said in unison.

"Man of the night watchman, you will take my hand to go to the Great Wall, and tell Lord Mormont, the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall, that there is something wrong with the kingdom. The good days of the night watchman holding the kingdom’s money and goods are over. From history From the beginning of Tannis I, the Night Watch Legion will be instructed to guard the kingdom, the savages on the outside, the internal resistance to rebellion, the sharing of worries for the country, and the benefit of the people of the Seven Kingdoms. This is the real kingdom's strong shield."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Several night watchmen replied in unison.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ed Stark replied loudly.

Varys's heart jumped!

There was also a slight disturbance in the hall.

Stannis broke the ice and set a precedent. Because of his words, the forces of the Night Watch have since then had the power to intervene in the Seven Civil Wars.

This is an extremely bad signal.

The night watchman has always been an ally of the northerners, and has almost nothing to do with other kingdoms.

In order to stabilize the Iron Throne, Stannis and Ed Stark did everything they could, and they didn't even let the meager power of the Night Watch Legion be used?

His eyes were secretly aimed at the audience, and most people looked strange. However, no one stood up and raised objections loudly, including the Wabassians.

Except for the North, other lord knights have actually ignored the existence of the night watch. The strength of the night watchman is indeed insignificant for any lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and is negligible.

However, even if the night watchman can only provide one soldier to join the northern army, this is a disturbing signal.

The history of the Seven Kingdoms has already undergone tremendous changes silently.

Could it be that the history of the night watchman, who has never intervened in the battle of the kingdom, turned it back so easily? It is incredible, unimaginable.

Was Stannis a mistake or premeditated?

Varys's eyes were aimed at Ed Stark.

A certain potential force that Varys had never anticipated before, was like a giant hidden underwater, pushing the giant ship of Westeros in silence, heading for its unpredictable course. The vast majority of the tens of millions of people staying on this ship were unaware of it.
