Chapter 33: How to fight the White Walkers and recruit men to strengthen the Night's Watch
Not long after, Jon, who had led his men to search the storage room, came to report.
"Sir, we did not find Oser's body."
"Got it. Inform Bowen to arrange three times the number of patrols tonight."
Jon took the order and left.
The atmosphere in Black Iron Castle at night was more solemn than usual.
On the Wall near Black Iron Keep, almost every sentry post was manned by a Night's Watch brother with good eyesight. It seemed that Oser's misfortune foreshadowed that there might be a large-scale attack by the wildlings that had been planned for a long time tonight.
Even Lyon was tasked with patrolling the Great Wall tonight. He was currently patrolling the Great Wall with a team of trained Night's Watch rangers.
"Jon, have you also received the patrol mission?"
As he was walking, Lyon saw a figure coming towards him. It was Jon.
"I can't use your sword, but I have to say you picked a good sword in the armory." After just a short time together, Jon felt a little reluctant to let go of the extremely sharp Black and White Kiss. He thought that this sword was picked out by Leon from the corner of the armory.
Lyon took the sword and said nothing. It was clear from the situation that Jon had something to say.
"As the officer of Old Bear, I have nothing to do after delivering the order. I came to the Wall just to ask Sam, how did you conclude that Oser was transformed by a White Walker?"
Sure enough, Jon's reason for finding Lyon wasn't surprising.
To be honest, Lyon knew very little about the rumors about the White Walkers in this world. Apart from knowing that there was a mineral called dragonglass that could kill White Walkers, he also knew that the Valyrian steel sword, which contained a hint of magic in the steel, had a miraculous effect against White Walkers.
But there are only dozens to hundreds of Valyrian steel swords in the entire continent of Westeros, and most of them are heirlooms that serve as a symbol of a family. The family heirloom in front of Sam is a steel sword called Heartbreak, which should have been inherited by Sam along with the castle at Horn Hill.
But even if Lyon said it, it would not change anything. The major lords would definitely not rush to hand over the Valyrian steel sword to the Night's Watch. However, the dragon crystal could fully explore its potential.
"Yes, they are the White Walkers. I have read books about them in the Maester's Castle of the White Tower of House Hightower. The condition of Other's body is the same as described in the books. People killed by White Walkers will soon be resurrected and become like beasts without fear of pain. Ordinary swords are almost useless to them. Even if their heads are cut off, they will continue to fight. Their eyes are also like the White Walkers, azure blue."
"I... I prefer to believe that Oser faked his death. He was bribed by the wildlings, and then sent to Black Iron Castle to cause sabotage." Hod, who was standing by, was horrified after hearing Sam's description, so he bit the bullet and expressed his opinion.
"Oser is really dead. His blood has frozen into snow foam, and his face is as pale and blue as someone who has been dead for many days. If you saw him, you would definitely not think he was still alive."
The explanation given by Sam was reasonable and convincing. When it came to other things, Sam always looked timid, but when it came to knowledge, Sam's fat face and eyes always sparkled with wisdom.
"It seems that they are wasting your talent by sending you to the Wall. You should go to the Citadel for further studies so that you can become a maester for a lord in the future." Jon was obviously convinced.
But then Jon asked another key question, which is how to deal with the White Walkers?
"The book says that White Walkers are extremely cold magical creatures, so they should be afraid of fire."
After thinking about it carefully, Sam gave his answer.
"Fire? Are the White Walkers afraid of our torches like wild beasts? That makes me feel better."
Another Night Watch ranger nearby looked at the torch in his hand and smiled with some relief.
"Pay attention to increasing vigilance. In addition to being careful of the White Walkers, you must also be wary of the wildlings." Jon seemed to have thought of something. As the old bear's affairs officer, he also came into contact with a lot of intelligence.
As the long summer is coming to an end and winter is approaching, even if there is no threat from the White Walkers, the wildlings will usually go south to look for weak points in the Great Wall and sneak into the pass on a large scale to launch surprise attacks on the residents living on the land given by the Night's Watch.
In this way, they plundered ironware, good seeds and other necessities of life that were not produced outside the Great Wall.
However, such a large-scale action of the wildlings could not be concealed from the spies of the Night's Watch Rangers scattered outside the Pass.
Before they parted, Jon whispered to Leon, "Old Bear has sent ravens to all the lords of the Seven Kingdoms asking for help. If possible, you'd better train the new soldiers as quickly as possible. I think the more people you have, the happier Old Bear will be."
"I heard about what happened at the training ground during the day. You don't have to worry too much about those undisciplined recruits. You can go to the gifted land to see if there are any young men who want to be soldiers. You don't have to force them to take the oath of the Night's Watch. Just tell them that they need to protect their property and lives by themselves when the wildlings come."
"Is this what Mr. Xiong meant?" Leon asked curiously. After all, Leon had heard a lot about conscription. Although he despised it, it was the rule of this world.
As residents living on the territory, while enjoying the protection of the lord, they naturally have to assume certain military service obligations. Although the residents living on the gifted land do not have a nominal lord, it is naturally their duty to provide assistance to the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch at critical moments.
"Believe me, now that this has happened, Old Xiong is in urgent need of troops more than ever, so he won't say anything more."
