"Let's continue with our previous deduction. Since Mansred is learning from me and constantly developing technology …" Danny paused and explained the concept of 'technology' before she continued, "Both sides have the same level of technology. Although the quality of the soldiers' weapons has been improving, the degree of improvement is about the same.
Just like Tormond and Magna, both Tormonds threw away the wooden club in their hands and switched to bronze swords at the same time. Then they switched to steel swords, and in the future, they might even switch to Valyrian steel swords. This meant that technology was advancing and civilization was developing.
At this point, we still can't do anything to each other, so we have to continue to improve the combat power of the soldiers.
Apart from weapons, it's obvious that the cowardly Tormond can't defeat the fearless Tormond, right? "
"Yes." Tormond and Maans were both attracted by the story. They were eager to hear what Dani was going to say next, so they cooperated with her and did not struggle at all.
Jon and Barristan were also fascinated. The queen's words were easy to understand, but they seemed to contain some great wisdom that they had never seen before.
"In order to make Tormond braver, I have to make him understand that winning the battle is more beneficial to him than losing it. As the winner, he can get more."
"This …" Tormond was puzzled. "Isn't this natural? Of course, he can get more if he wins. "
"Is that so?" Danny smiled mysteriously. "The 'crows' you speak of are the Night Watchers. What difference does winning or losing make to them?
To be more specific, Jon Snow did not have a good time at the Great Wall. His family either died or went missing in the war, and his former family fell apart.
The new soldiers on the Great Wall were jealous of his identity as Stark, and the old soldiers hated Stark for some special reasons. The life of the Night Watchers was even more austere and abstinent.
On the contrary, when he killed Colin the Broken Palm and surrendered to the savages, not only did he have your 'freedom', but he also had a good status — he had the gift of the Wolf Spirit!
He even had a lover that the Night Watchers could never have. Yep, Yergret was a good girl.
At that time, he would have two choices. One was to completely integrate himself into the group of barbarians, break into Dark Castle, and let the hundreds of thousands of barbarians go south to wipe out the warlords of the Northern Region. At the very least, he would be able to avenge his family and destroy the Bolton family.
If the barbarians were stronger, they might have been able to destroy Frey and shake Lannister's rule.
To be able to take revenge, have a lover, and be free, that's great!
However, he did not hesitate to make the second choice. He continued to carry out the mission given to him by Colin the Broken Palm. He went undercover among the barbarians, alerted the night watchers of Dark Castle, and ruined Mance Ryder's wonderful plan to seize the city gate.
Think about it, why would he do that? "
"He's stupid and knows nothing!" Mansred stared coldly at Jon.
"Crows are crows. They are not trustworthy." The barbarians were filled with righteous indignation.
"His mind was bound by some useless things," Tormond said slowly as his eyes flashed.
Danny glanced at the red-haired savage and said with a smile, "You understand him better."
"No, I can't understand it at all. Tormond hurriedly shook his head in denial, as if understanding an idiot would make him an idiot too.
Danny shrugged and continued, "Jon did it for honor, Stark's honor, and the honorable oath of the men of the night watchers."
"Your Majesty …" Jon's eyes were red. He was so moved that he was about to cry.
Barristan patted the young night watcher on the shoulder and smiled with relief. No matter how bad the Westeros were at the moment, there were still some promising stars!
"Let's continue our previous topic. I'm against Mance. If I can bring honor to my soldiers, they must work harder, right?"
"Yes." Mance nodded. "But what does that mean?"
"Civilization is made up of many things. Besides technology, there's also spiritual culture. Why does Jon have honor? If he was a savage who burned, killed, and plundered, and abided by the law of the jungle, would he have such honor? "
"I don't agree with that," Tormond said angrily. "You're slandering the barbarians. Let me tell you, I have honor too."
"What honor can bandits and robbers have?" Sir Mallister sneered.
"I didn't surrender even when facing two Megalosaurus. Is that an honor?" Tormond glared.
"Uh …"
"Tormond, you're even robbing your own kind. Surely you won't sacrifice yourself to protect the 'weak', right?
Similarly, you won't feel honored to protect the 'weak', right? " “
Tormond was speechless. He could not lie. In other words, wolves ate sheep.
Beyond the Great Wall, the strong were the wolves and the weak were the sheep. It was natural for wolves to eat sheep. He never felt that there was anything wrong with it.
Therefore, wolves would not protect sheep, and they would not feel honored to protect sheep.
Danny sighed and concluded, "But Jon, Sir Barristan, Sir Mallister, Sir Glendon, and all the true knights of Westeros will.
Because the spirit of chivalry requires us to take pride in eliminating the strong and helping the weak, but the spirit of chivalry should not bind you barbarians. "
"Yes." Barristan was excited. "Your Majesty has completely analyzed the difference between us and the barbarians!"
Jon, Mallister, and Glendon nodded. They could not help but feel proud.
"Hmph, to the lords and kings, aren't the common people lambs to be eaten?" Manslade's eyes flashed.
"Well, you admit that the king of beyond the Great Wall is no different from me?" Danny smiled strangely.
"Uh …"
It went back to the original question. Was the freedom that the freedmen talked about a lie? If Magna beyond the Great Wall was no different from the lords of the Seven Kingdoms, then where did the freedom that the barbarians were so proud of come from?
Then, she said seriously, "I don't deny what you said. The common people are lambs to the lords and kings.
So we have always had a dream, a dream to build a truly fair and just world full of love. For this dream, we have been working hard. Maybe the results are little, but it's better than having no hope and no progress at all. "
Mance's ordinary-looking face turned even paler, but he still managed to say, "Anyone can say something nice, but not even a fool will believe it when it comes from the mouth of a queen who 'chews sheep'."
"A fool won't believe it because he doesn't understand. You're a smart man, so you'll believe it." Danny smiled. "Let's continue the previous topic. The battle between us is not over yet!
Soldiers with a sense of honor are braver. Under the same conditions, my army will win.
At this time, if you don't want to lose, what should you do? "
"Learn from you."
Danny nodded. "Remember I mentioned before that in the war between civilizations and races, the weak are eliminated and the strong survive. If you learn from my social system and develop your spirit and culture, it means that your 'law of survival in the barbarian society' will be eliminated, right? "
"Yes," Manslade said dejectedly.
"Those who are eliminated are the weak. Your current social system is not up to standard! From technology to culture, your civilization has lost to us in all aspects, "Danny declared.
"…" Manslade was speechless. He lowered his head deeply.
Even the most active Tormond looked depressed, as if he had suddenly lost his soul.
Some of the other barbarians were confused, while some understood a little. But whether they understood or not, everyone understood one thing: Manslade, the King of the Beyond the Great Wall, had lost to the silver-haired queen.
Unlike Jon and Barristan, who were beaming with joy, Danny's expression was indifferent. She continued, "The battle between us is not over yet.
Manslade, if you can recognize reality and learn from my strengths, at least you can maintain a stalemate.
In this verbal 'war between civilizations and races,' you have not lost. Let's continue. "
"Yes," the King of the Beyond the Great Wall said in a hoarse voice.
He knew that he had already lost. Even if he could look at the problem rationally and learn humbly, the imitators would at least be one step slower. He had been slower in technology and culture for several times in a row. The quantitative change had caused a qualitative change, leading to an irreversible collapse.
"The more desire a person has, the more motivation they will have, and the chasm of desire will never be filled. With honor, they will ask for more things, such as wealth.
Our soldiers have the same weapons and fighting spirit, but in addition to honor, if I promise them money, will they be braver and more proactive? "
"Yes."
"After that, you also learned how to reward the soldiers, and even increased the amount. After I learned of your actions, I also increased the reward … In this way, the treatment of the soldiers became better and better, and the benefits of our two Kings were gradually divided by them, becoming less and less. What would happen in the end?
"This …" Manslade was stunned. His expression changed drastically, and he said in shock, "The soldiers and the king will be divided equally according to how much effort they put in, and even the land, wealth, and ruling rights of the entire country?!
This is the limit. If the king pays more benefits, he will lose money, so he might as well be a soldier. This … what is going on? "
Jon and Barristan were also shocked.
"As you think," Danny looked around and said with a faint smile, "that is the future of civilization, and the ideal social system. Fairness, justice, everyone is the master of the country, and the interests of the country are closely related to everyone. The king is no longer a wolf, and the people are no longer sheep. They are all the same species, wolves.
There is a difference in strength between a strong wolf and a weak one, but it is much better than the despair of a sheep facing a wolf. "
"Why is this?" Jon was confused.
"As I said, the law of survival of the fittest is actually beneficial to the development of civilization."
Danny leaned back in her chair and looked at the King of Beyond the Great Wall, who was hit hard, and said lazily, "Okay, after saying so much, you should have made a choice, right?
Or you can recognize the reality and change from this moment on, or you can be completely eliminated in this race competition. "
Mansred nodded. His expression was complicated. There was sincere admiration and gratitude, but also a deep sense of helplessness.
After a while, he said, "Danny Rize, you are the first king to convince me, and also the most special king I know. You may even become the greatest king in history. Compared to you, Robert Byra Theon is a tragic sight.
Thank you for letting me understand this … but the King of Beyond the Great Wall is different from the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms. There are some things that you can decide on your own, but I … "
"Sigh!" He shook his head and did not continue.
Danny glanced at the barbarians around her. Some were confused, some were arrogant, some had flickering eyes … There were all kinds of expressions, but few were submissive. She immediately understood his difficulties.
Mansred was most likely convinced by her words, and had the idea of surrendering to preserve the barbarian race.
However, the barbarian tribe was formed by the common goal of invading the Seven Kingdoms. He could not change the barbarians' strategic goal, and could not persuade them to surrender to the "kneeling man."
"You have seen Robert?" She decided to change the topic and ease the atmosphere.
