I have a Mount and Blade panel and I kill people in the Game of Thrones
Chapter 64 Rebellion
I wonder what Cotter Pyke is thinking.
If any upright Night's Watch leader heard what he said, one of the two would probably end up being killed on the spot.
Maybe he was thinking that Leon was still young, naive, and not as rigid-minded as the other old guys, and was loyal to his oath.
It has to be said that there is a lot of gambling involved in what Carter Pike said.
"Are you going to break your oath as a Night's Watchman?"
Lyon thought for a moment, glancing at Cotter Pyke's neck from time to time.
His hand involuntarily placed on the hilt of the Black and White Kiss, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.
However, these actions were performed under the table, and Carter Pyke did not notice anything unusual about Lyon.
But Lyon's gaze made Carter Pyke very uncomfortable. His neck felt itchy, as if a scar was about to grow.
"No, no, no, it's just... a title without substance. To outsiders, Eastwatch is still in my hands, Carter Pike." Carter explained hurriedly, paused, and seeing that Leon did not express his opinion, he continued:
"Before I leave, I can manipulate the election to make you the commander-in-chief. There are not many people with weight in the Night's Watch now, especially those two guys, Qhorin Halfhand and Bowen Marsh, who followed the old bear north and are missing. The only person who has a say in the Dark Iron Keep is Grand Maester Aemon."
At this moment, Cotter Pyke has played all his cards, but what he doesn't know is that Lyon, who is familiar with the plot, has never intended to abandon the Night's Watch from beginning to end.
Given Old Xiong's personality, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent to what happened in the north after witnessing the corpse ghosts with his own eyes. He would definitely lead his troops to patrol the north, but as a result, they were almost wiped out.
By then, the Dark Iron Keep will be empty, Alliser Thorne will have died at his hands, and he will have trained a large number of confidants through his position as chief coach. You know, even Jon, who has only a shallow foundation, can become the commander-in-chief, so there is no reason for Lyon to fail in the election.
In Lyon's view, Carter Pike's help was icing on the cake, and his role could even be completely ignored.
Thinking of this, Leon suddenly smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "Captain of the Garrison, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word after becoming the commander-in-chief?"
Seeing that Lyon expressed his concerns so frankly, Carter Pyke unexpectedly let out a long sigh of relief.
In his opinion, if Leon was willing to tell the truth in front of him, then there was room for discussion on this matter. It was better to say the ugly words now than to stab him in the back later.
"To be honest, Master Coach, I didn't know you before this, and I don't even know much about your family, but the suggestion I made is a win-win situation. If you refuse, I can just train another obedient person to be the commander-in-chief. I won't lose much, but your loss will be immeasurable."
Cotter Pyke, before he even became a mercenary, was already talking about trade terms like "loss," which made Leon feel sick.
Seeing that Leon had a sneer on his face and was not enthusiastic about this matter, Cotter Pike, a shrewd man, also understood it, so he stood up and looked down at Leon, his tone full of threats: "Why not tell you the truth? I have reached a consensus with the leader of the Windblown in Pentos. He has great confidence in my ability and that of my men, and is even willing to give me the position of deputy leader."
"And right now, a group of 300 elite Lancers from the Windblown are at Driftwood Hall across Dolphin Bay, waiting for news from me."
"There is a consensus among the Seven Kingdoms that the Night's Watch is a fully self-employed army, even if most of its members are scum, its combat power is still the best among the Seven Kingdoms. The elite Lancers of the Windblown have gone through countless fierce battles on the continent of Essos and are much stronger than the Night's Watch Rangers. It would probably only take a charge to wipe out your new recruits, who have been trained for less than a month and are mostly composed of bandits and villagers."
Cotter Pike made no secret of his threat. In his eyes, apart from Lyon himself, the biggest threat among Lyon's troops was Spesium, who followed Lyon closely. In his eyes, the rest were just recruits and not worth mentioning at all.
As they were talking, there was a pushing sound outside the door of the tavern's private room. From the sound, it seemed that Spesium, who was guarding outside the door, was arguing with Carter's men.
Lyon listened carefully and there seemed to be the chaotic footsteps of no less than twenty people outside, as well as the sound of armor and swords colliding.
Then, there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air like rain, and the dull sound of arrows hitting shields, which lasted for quite a long time.
Carter was not deaf, so he naturally heard the noise, but his face looked a little ugly. According to the plan, after the failure of the negotiations, his men should have captured Spacium and then rushed in to threaten Leon.
But somehow, no matter how tough Spiesium was, he was only one person. More than 20 skilled Night Watchmen with crossbows should have succeeded.
Now Carter Pyke is in a very passive situation. Without the help of his men, Carter Pyke has no confidence that he can defeat Lyon, who can fight against a hundred Night's Watch Rangers alone.
"So, based on what you just said, I can declare you a traitor to the Night's Watch, right?"
Lyon listened for a while until the sound stopped, then he slowly looked at Carter Pike.
The latter did not respond to Leon's question, but just stared at the door to see whose subordinate it was who pushed the door open.
Unfortunately, after Spesium's big hands pushed open the door, he threw a shield that was as sharp as a hedgehog on the ground, and then a living night watchman who was shot in the leg was thrown in.
The corridor could be seen through the open door. Cotter Pyke craned his neck to look behind Spethium, who turned sideways at just the right moment to allow Cotter Pyke to get a closer look.
Several night watchmen near the door were killed by sword strikes in the vitals, while those further away were all shot in the head and fell on their backs.
It was obvious that the battle that had just taken place in this narrow corridor was extremely fierce.
Lyon could even deduce the general course of the battle from the postures in which the Night Watchmen fell.
A group of Night Watchmen pretended to be friendly and approached Spethium, but it was not known whether some idiot exposed the hostility or Spethium was too vigilant. After the battle started, the first few Night Watchmen were barely able to match Spethium.
Then Spiethium picked up a shield on the ground, blocked a round of powerful shots from the Night's Watch crossbowmen, and then slowly fired back. Except for those who ran away when they saw the situation was not good, most people closed their eyes forever.
"Captain! Save me!" Maybe it was because of the pain in his leg or the emotional pain caused by Spacium, but the Night Watchman's voice had a hint of crying. He was thrown to the ground and subconsciously called for help from Carter.
But Cotter Pike's face was livid, and he didn't even look at him. In the end, it was Lyon who stepped forward and gave the Night's Watch traitor a quick death.
"Lord Carter, I think it's time to talk about your oath." Lyon wiped the black and white kiss off the traitor's body, slowly stood up, and said to Carter Pike.
