It''s not easy to cross the Great Wall to the other side, let alone a pleasant spring outing. Even Jon, who is very interested in fighting, knows the risks very well. As the commander of the night watchman, Mormont knew all these things well. The night watchmen have been guarding the Great Wall for hundreds of years. During this period, they have never sent large-scale legions to the north. At most, there are only a few Rangers. So ordinary soldiers only need to consider training, and he has to arrange strategy and tactics.


    It''s not enough to rely on the soldiers of the black castle. He ordered the watchmen of donghaiwang and shadow tower to mobilize. In the wasteland to the north of the Great Wall, there is a place called xianminquan peak, which was once the place where the ancestors fought and built fortresses. Although after countless years, it is estimated that the castle is no longer viable, but there should be debris, at least better than the direct ice lying in the snow.


    Moreover, the Xianmin boxing peak is located on the Bank of the "milk River". It''s a river that is on the ground and underground. Thanks to geothermal energy, the river has never been completely frozen, and there is always living water under it after the ice is cut. Although the river is cold enough to nourish life, a huge "ghost" forest is bred by her, stretching thousands of miles along the tributaries of Ruhe River.


    Where there are trees, there is fire; where there is water, there is life. Commander Mormont ordered the night watchmen of donghaiwang and shadow tower to join the ancestors'' boxing peak, while he led the night watchmen of black castle to advance to the ancestors'' boxing peak as soon as possible to reinforce the fortifications there. He predicted that if the northern savages want to go south on a large scale, they should also adopt the strategy of advancing along the Ruhe River. So if you can get to the xianminquan peak first, you can intercept the enemy.


    But it''s not clear how to go along the way, what you might encounter, and what the ancestors'' boxing peak used to look like. So Sam will was sent to the library to collect maps, information and intelligence for Xiong. It''s a good job for him to do this job. Since he was a child, he liked reading books and was willing to escape from the words to another world, a world where there was no strict father forcing him to practice martial arts.


    He stayed in master Yimeng''s library all day and all night, searching for the old materials. In fact, it has been sorted out by Zhao Mai. All the books are arranged in order, which saves him a lot of time. But even so, it is still quite difficult to restore the old view from history.


    "Hey, it''s time for you to eat," Zhao Mai read with relish, holding a book about how to make poison. God knows how this kind of book got into the data pile. Fortunately, Zhao Mai found it, so as not to poison others. "I have grain reserves to help me with my meals, but you don''t. And aren''t you hungry when you''re fat? "


    "I don''t think so when I read a book. You see, I found an account book of the night watchman in the past. How interesting


    "What does it say? How many needles and thread did you buy?"


    "There are also," Sam said excitedly, "you see, 23 barrels of salted cod, 18 cans of fish oil, three cases of frozen shellfish..."


    "I''ve never seen such a good thing in the canteen." Zhao Mai tilted his mouth and said.


    "Exactly!" Sam licked his lips: "it doesn''t cost money to register these things on the account book. It''s from fishing, so..."


    "Do you think we can catch fish on this patrol?" It wasn''t Zhao Mai, it was Jon. "Sam, you didn''t come to have breakfast with us, and you didn''t sleep in your bed. If you don''t know you very well, people may guess that you are a deserter. "


    "Well, I don''t have the guts..." Sam said.


    Jon also felt embarrassed to mention the word "deserter" in front of his friends. A period of time ago, isn''t he who has courage? If it wasn''t for his friend''s dissuasion and Mike''s slap in the face, he would have killed his brother, or his head would have been hanging on a shelf somewhere, right? "Books won''t run away. They''ll be here when we come back from patrol."


    Patrol two words like an awl, hard into Sam''s ass. The last thing he wants to hear now is the patrol that will start soon, because he wants to go with him too! Originally, he thought that if he had been a affairs officer, he would just take care of the elderly and not have to face the dangerous things outside. But commander Mormont ordered him to go north with the Raven.


    "You can''t let master Yimeng follow us, can you? He''s old and you need to lose weight! "


    Old bear''s words are still in Sam''s ear. He has no courage to retort, but he has no courage to go north.


    Jon saw Sam''s nervousness, so he comforted him: "the more than 200 brothers Mr. Xiong picked this time are all experienced veterans, and three-quarters of them are rangers who have the experience of operating in the north. Moreover, Colin will bring more than 100 brothers from the shadow tower, and so will donghaiwang. Even if you stay in your father''s castle in Jiaoling, it won''t be safer. "


    "I wasn''t very safe in my father''s castle," SAMWELL Tali said with a sad smile


    "Well, don''t worry. I''ll go too." Zhao Mai took out a fresh apple from the wrist guard. "An apple is good for your health. Originally, I thought of throwing it away and going by myself, but I found that it didn''t work. What are you afraid of with me? ""You wanted to go on your own. Why?" Jon didn''t care about the magic apple, but wondered about other things: "isn''t it safer to follow the night watchman''s army?"


    "I''m not a night watchman. Why should I fight for you?" Zhao Mai received the poison of Westeros in his arms, but actually put it in his bracelet. "But I can''t help it, old bear pit me."


    Mormon did agree with Zhao Mai to cross the Great Wall, but it was conditional: "you have been with us all the time, so you know the details of our actions. I know you want to go to the north. I can agree, but you have to come to Xianmin boxing peak with us. I''m afraid you''ll be caught by savages and then you''ll sell us out. "


    "The savage can''t catch me." Zhao Mai said.


    "That''s not the point." Old bear touched his short beard. The beautiful white beard burned off that night, and the rest could barely cover his chin. "Either promise, or you stay at the black castle."


    Zhao Mai is not stupid. He nods and agrees first. Is that allowed? He excitedly tried to cross the great wall of despair, only to be frozen back.


    "No matter how the damned wall builder and the son of the forest built this desperate Great Wall, is this intelligent system really wonderful?" Zhao Mai was lying in the fireplace beside the blanket, and make complaints about the magic of the the Great Wall. But on the other hand, he is also thinking: does the power of language and the restraint of oath really have powerful power in it?


    Therefore, Zhao Mai had to go north with the night watchman, at least to get the ancestors'' boxing peak.


    "Well, Sam, let''s put the things down and have dinner." "Finally, the amber family in mantelpiece sent some bacon and bacon this morning," Jon said. Don''t you always think about it? If you go late, you may be spoiled by the cooks in the canteen! "


    Sam reluctantly put down the book, nodded and went out with his partner.
