However, what changed was that the Nights Watch took this matter very seriously. Old Bear Jeor Mormont immediately reported it to the Iron Throne and sent letters to the Dukes and Wardens of the Seven Kingdoms. He also personally sent someone to Na Sa Star to inform Lynd of the matter.
It was no wonder the Old Bear was so nervous, as the place where Waymar was attacked was too close to the Wall; it would only take a day to reach the base of the Wall. The Others' southward advance to such an extent made him suspect that the Corpse Ghoul Army would appear before his eyes in a few days.
Lynd instructed the Nights Watch Official who came to Na Sa Star to take a letter back to the Old Bear with a simple message: unite with the Beyond the Wall Wildlings.
In fact, Lynd had already made this suggestion to the Old Bear when he concluded his journey Beyond the Wall, believing that in the face of the Others, a great enemy to all life, the Nights Watch and the Savage Tribes should have a chance to ease relations and cooperate against the enemy.
However, he clearly underestimated the millennia-long hatred between the Beyond the Wall Wildlings and the Nights Watch. Over the years, not only have relations between the Nights Watch and the Beyond the Wall Wildlings not improved, but they have deepened due to the Nights Watch's increased strength and repeated encirclements of Beyond the Wall Wildling settlements. There is virtually no possibility of cooperation between them.
The scenario in the previous life's TV series, where Jon allowed the Beyond the Wall Wildlings south of the Wall, would also absolutely not happen, because the main reason Jon was able to persuade the Nights Watch to allow the Wildlings south of the Wall was because the Nights Watch's numbers were too few, less than a thousand, and they needed the Beyond the Wall Wildlings to jointly guard the Wall against the Others.
However, now, with the support of various territories for the Nights Watch, especially after Velas also joined the Nights Watch, and The Reach's support for the Nights Watch increased several times, the Nights Watch has gradually returned to its historical peak. All the castles garrisoned along the Wall have been activated, and they can defend the Wall without the help of the Beyond the Wall Wildlings, so their cooperation with the Beyond the Wall Wildlings is virtually zero.
Lynd also knew this, but he still hoped that the Nights Watch could let the Beyond the Wall Wildlings cross the Wall, because in his opinion, even if they couldn't cooperate, they shouldn't let the Beyond the Wall Wildlings stay north of the Wall and be recruited by the Others. Moreover, settling the Beyond the Wall Wildlings in The Gift south of the Wall could also build a new line of defense, so that if anything unexpected happened to the Wall, they could use the Beyond the Wall Wildlings to delay the Others' southward advance for a while.
However, from the attitude shown by the Nights Watch Official of the Old Bear who left, Lynd could guess that his proposal would likely have no effect.
Therefore, after the Nights Watch messenger left, he sent instructions to Daisy of Bear Island and the Three Sea Monsters stationed in the Iron Islands, telling them to prepare ships, monitor the movements Beyond the Wall, and be ready at any time to transport the Wildlings who fled to Frozen Port to Bear Island, the Iron Islands, and the Neck.
In addition, he also sent a letter to the Lord of the Neck, Howland Reed, asking him to prepare the Neck to receive refugees from Beyond the Wall at any time.
Lynd had always maintained contact with the Neck. Initially, he merely sought to facilitate contact with the Forest Children residing in the great swamp. Later, he engaged in a swamp business with the Neck, excavating large quantities of mud from the Neck for use as agricultural fertilizer. This trade further strengthened their relationship.
Later, Lynd discussed with Howland about slightly transforming the Neck, establishing a temporary settlement in the coastal area. In case the Iron Islands and Bear Island could not accommodate so many Beyond the Wall Wildlings, the Beyond the Wall Wildlings could be sent to the temporary settlement to live for a period, and he would send people to gradually bring them to Summerhall.
Now, both Summerhall and Lorath need a large population, and while the Beyond the Wall Wildlings are difficult to tame, it is undeniable that both their men, women, and children are excellent laborers. As for whether these Beyond the Wall Wildlings will continue their old way of life, Lynd is not at all worried. Once they come over, many things will not be up to them to decide, and besides, at Frozen Port, Daisy and Asha will screen these people, and only those who are easily adaptable to new systems will ultimately be sent over.
Besides the matters of Beyond the Wall and the Wall, Lynd was most concerned about the happenings in King's Landing.
Joffrey's twelfth naming day martial arts tournament was held as scheduled. In the martial arts tournament, the perfect knight Brienne defeated the Knight of Flowers Loras Tyrell in the final to become the champion of the jousting tournament. After the tournament, Brienne accepted the invitation of her liege Renly and became the captain of his guard.
After the martial arts tournament, Kings Hand Jon Arryn, for some unknown reason, suddenly had a big quarrel with King Robert. It was said to be about Joffrey's marriage.
