Chapter 72 The greedy beast

Although the old bear could not refute Robb's words face to face, it would be too idealistic to expect the Night's Watch to simply fall to Robb.

Robb knew that it would take some time to completely take back the power of the Night's Watch.

But this will not prevent you from getting what you want in advance.

Robb knocked on the table: "I know that the oath of the Night's Watch has been passed down for thousands of years, and I respect you. I will not interfere in your affairs for the time being.

But in order to better deal with the White Walkers, I need someone to help me protect Winterfell and allocate resources from the North and the Great Wall.Therefore, Snow wants to go back with me. "

Old Xiong subconsciously seemed to refuse: "But he took the oath of the night watchman..."

Robb said calmly: "I am his king and the current head of the Stark family. I have the right to cancel his oath. However, I will not make it difficult for you. Let him keep the name of the Night's Watch and return to The rear handles logistical resources.”

Robb didn't care whether Snow was a Night's Watcher or something else, as long as he could fulfill his responsibility to protect Winterfell.

And it's a good thing that Snow remains a Night's Watchman. In the election for the next Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Snow will definitely be elected under Robb's control.

In this way, the connection between the Night's Watch and Stark becomes closer.

Old Xiong opened his mouth, but this time nothing came out.

He knew clearly that the King of the North in front of him did not seem to inherit his father's kind character. Instead, he was as aloof and decisive as the previous Starks.

And Stark with this kind of character is more able to win the support of people in the North.

The Northern Territory is such a cold and hard race. They would rather have a tyrant who leads them to destruction than a weak monarch who leads them to survive.

More importantly, the Night's Watch cannot and cannot lose the support of the North.

Being in the northern border, all their logistics and supplies need to pass through the northern border to reach the castles on the Great Wall.

So when faced with the King of the North's request, he couldn't easily refuse.

"Okay, I agree."

In the end, Mr. Xiong nodded and agreed to the matter.

He secretly regretted that he originally trained Snow as his heir.

Now he has to look for a new candidate.

-

Robb got what he wanted and tested the Night's Watchman's attitude, and left the drawing room with satisfaction.

After leaving the warm room, the cold wind outside instantly made Robb sober up.

In the martial arts field inside Castle Black, several rangers who are not afraid of the cold are practicing.

It looked like they were drilling a fat night watchman.

The fat man's actions were a little funny, but it could be seen from his expression that he was serious about what he did.

There is a man in the team, he is strong and has excellent swordsmanship. The most striking thing is that he is accompanied by a huge white direwolf.

Robb recognized the white direwolf immediately, Ghost.

Whoosh!
The gray wind around Robb jumped out from Robb's feet like the wind and rushed towards the white direwolf.

oooo~

Gray Wind is the largest and strongest of all the adopted direwolves of House Stark.Even though the white direwolf looks more elegant and agile, he still has to lower his head in front of Gray Wind.

Seeing the strong Hui Feng, everyone in the martial arts arena was startled and stopped.

They have never seen such a huge direwolf filled with blood!
Gray Feng has been on the battlefield several times and has killed as many enemies as some soldiers, so he looks more and more fierce and fierce.

"Robb...no, Your Majesty!"

When Jon Snow saw Gray Wind, he instantly realized that his brother was coming. His face lit up and he looked around for Robb's location.

Robb smiled and waved: "Come and walk with me on the Wall."

Jon Snow couldn't wait to leave here with Robb, walking and chatting on the Great Wall.

Jon has learned the news of his father's death, and what he is most concerned about now is his two sisters: "Robb...uh, Your Majesty, are Sansa and Arya okay?"

"There are no outsiders here, and it's not a formal occasion. Just call me Robb as before." Robb paused and told him about the current situation of his sisters: "Sansa is already in Winterfell. Arya ran away from King's Landing and is wandering somewhere now."

Jon's heart tightened. Among the Stark family, only Arya was the closest to him and he was not treated as an illegitimate child. However, Arya's whereabouts were unknown.

Jon was a little embarrassed and said: "I...I originally wanted to help you, but I am already a night watchman..."

He had run out of the Wall twice before to aid Robb, but the oath had bound him.

Robb waved his hand: "Families must understand each other."

Jon was stunned, his family...

Robb continued: "I am here this time to get you out of the Great Wall. I also want to go south to fight. You have to protect Winterfell and take care of Bran and Rickon."

Jon was a little puzzled: "Why are we still fighting? Our father's body has been returned, and the two sisters are out of their control. Why are we still fighting and increasing innocent casualties?"

Robb looked outside the Great Wall: "You are right, but you only think about our Stark family. Have you ever thought about the people in the North?"

Jon was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Robb asked rhetorically: "War is a continuation of political goals. I have fought so many wars for our father and sister, and the food in the North has been squandered for a long time. If I stop now, this winter, the food in the North will What should people do?”

Jon was speechless. The winter of the people in the North relied on the protection of the Stark family.

If the Starks eat all the food for their own family, what should those who are loyal to the Starks and rely on Stark to survive the winter do?
"War is a greedy beast. Once it starts, we are not driving it, but it is oppressing us."

Robb watched the snowflakes flying and said with emotion: "There is food in Highgarden, but why should it be given to the King of the North who has retreated to the north?

Why do the Westerlands and Iron Islands let us send food to us?

Only war can make the people in the north survive.

Moreover, I have also heard about Uncle Benyan. The North Kingdom alone will not be able to resist the White Walkers when they move south. The entire continent of Westeros must be at my disposal to fight against the White Walkers. "

Jon was convinced by Robb, who was also from the North and knew the cruelty of winter.

"I'm willing to help you, but what about the oath I made to the Night's Watch?"

Robb glanced at him: "Although I won't make things difficult for you, Mr. Bear and I will jointly order you to do logistics work in Winterfell.

But I want you to remember one thing: do the right thing, not the superficial thing. "
