Chapter 138 A new oath: The Night's Watch only guards the people

When Sam finished reading the contents of the letter, the expressions on the faces of all the night watchmen almost unanimously became extremely embarrassed.

The grumpy chief craftsman immediately cursed:

"Did the incestuous King's Hand really say that?"

"Lord Osel, the letter is here. You can take a look at it."

After Sam finished speaking, he quickly walked to Osel and handed the letter to him personally. Osel quickly read the contents of the letter, and suddenly became furious, and threw the letter on the map in front of him.

At first, some high-ranking members of the Night's Watch were skeptical about Sam's words, but after they circulated the letter one by one, they had to believe the facts stated in the letter.

"Since I became Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, I have never been told what to do by any king, not even Stannis, and I have never had the support of any king, including Joffrey."

"It was us, the Night's Watch, who defeated the White Walkers and the Wildlings!"

When Leon's voice resounded throughout the conference room, many night watchmen fell silent and listened. They looked serious, and knew that what Leon was going to say next was extremely important.

Lyon's words will determine the future of the Night's Watch after they lose the meaning of guarding the Wall.

"Everyone," Lyon looked at the Night Watch leaders and said slowly:

"Wars have been raging in Westeros for years, causing the people of the Seven Kingdoms to be displaced and unable to live a peaceful life. The elderly are left without support, and the young often die and are unable to grow up healthily.

"And who is the culprit that caused all this?"

Lyon's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing many of the Night Watchmen to fall into deep thought.

Before they could come up with a few tentative answers, Leon gave his own answer:

"It's the king, the lords, any ambitious person on the continent of Westeros, and Essos across the narrow sea!"

"As far as I know, the Iron Bank has funded many kings from different camps during the War of the Five Kings."

"These villains are peddling war in Westeros, spreading the plague of war."

"When they ask us not to marry, not to be granted land, and not to have children, we should also ask them not to be greedy, not to be corrupt, not to be tyrannical, not to be harsh on the people, and not to wantonly provoke wars! If they cannot do this decently, we will help them to be decent!"

"We, the Night's Watch, should not only defend against enemies in the north, but also suppress all criminals in the Seven Kingdoms!"

"This is the new oath I will swear for the Night's Watch: The dawn is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die. I will not be numb, I will not escape, and I will not be afraid. I will not wear a crown, and I will not fight for honor. I will be loyal to my duty, live or die. I am the sword of the Judge, the defender of the Seven Kingdoms, the flame that resists the cold, the light at dawn, the horn that awakens the sleepers, and the shield that protects the people. I dedicate my life and honor to the Night's Watch, this night, and all the nights to come."

When many of the Night Watchmen who were of noble birth heard that everything Leon said was only for the common people who they normally regarded as ants, they were unable to react for a moment.

But the Night's Watch, full of a sense of justice, led by Grand Maester Aemon, chanted the new version of the Night's Watch's Oath dictated by Lyon.

Then, Benjen Stark, Samwell Tarly, and old Night's Watch Ser Vinton Stout began to recite together.

During the second round, many high-ranking members of the Night's Watch joined in. During the third round, even though they were disdainful in their hearts, all the Night's Watch spoke in the same voice.

A Free Folk elder asked during the Night's Watch chant:

"Are we free folk also under the protection of the Night's Watch?"

Lyon immediately replied:

"Yes, the Night's Watch protects all seven kingdoms."

Therefore, even the elders of the free folk followed suit and solemnly recited the oath with the Night's Watch.

After the oath, Grand Maester Aemon first looked at Benjen Stark, then at Lyon, and said:

"Commander-in-Chief Lyon, what do you think of Benjen's request?"

"From today on, our old watch has ended and a new watch has begun."

"Benjen Stark, I order you to set off first and head to Winterfell immediately to stop the war between Roose Bolton and Stannis."

"This? Isn't this too arrogant?"

"With just a few hundred of us Night's Watchmen, will Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister behind him give Lyon this face?"

Many of the Night Watchmen immediately thought to themselves, but even Osel maintained his respect for Lyon on the surface and did not rush to refute.

After all, Lyon had just given everyone freedom, and many of the Night Watchmen had begun to daydream and fantasize about the aristocratic life after returning to their hometown.

Lyon looked at the expressions of the night watchmen and sneered in his heart.

After he decided to set everyone free, many people were moved from the bottom of their hearts, including the chief craftsman Osel, who submitted an application to join the team without hesitation. What the other ulterior motives of the Night's Watch thought was no longer important.

As long as they are willing to leave, Lyon will never stop them.

After eliminating this group of people, Lyon's control over the Night's Watch reached an unprecedented 100%.

Only in this way can Lyon begin his plan to unify the entire territory.

The previous words were just a precautionary measure for his loyal subordinates.

At this time, Grand Maester Aemon asked the questions that many Night Watchmen had in their minds:

"Captain Lyon, what if the lords of the seven nations disagree with our mediation, or even threaten us in return?"

"Regarding this point... Before I propose a solution, the senior members of the Night's Watch who wish to leave may do so first."

As soon as Lyon finished speaking, at least half of the Night Watch leaders in the conference room immediately set off without hesitation.

Some people said goodbye to Leon politely, but some people didn't even bother to say goodbye after Leon changed his oath and just left.

Chief Craftsman Osel originally planned to leave, but after seeing so many people leave without hesitation, he not only gave up the idea of ​​leaving, but also asked Commander-in-Chief Lyon with worry:

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, if those nobles really take away the soldiers of the Night's Watch, how should we respond?"

Osel's worries were very reasonable. After regaining their freedom, the nobles would inevitably recruit a few powerful Night's Watch soldiers to escort them back to their families. You must know that even the lowest-level soldier in the Night's Watch Corps is a rare warrior in the Seven Kingdoms.

"Don't worry, Sir Osel. They can't take anyone away."

Lyon seemed very confident when he spoke, and the source of Lyon's confidence came from the powerful power of the Mount and Blade panel.

Now, all the rangers in the Night's Watch and the Realm Defenders are from Lyon. I'm afraid that these nobles won't be able to take even one person away no matter how hard they try.

At this time, Grand Maester Aemon saw that most of the people who were supposed to leave had left, so he looked at Lyon in confusion:

"Lord Lyon, those who have ulterior motives towards you have left. Can you tell me your solution? Are you going to use your vast wealth to hire a group of Essos mercenaries to help us maintain order on the continent?"
