"Good, very good! Her Majesty is right. The Long Night is everyone's common enemy. The one who ends the Long Night will be the king. This will directly end the dispute over the Iron Throne and unite the seven nations to fight against the Other Ghosts. "
Amidst the silence, Old Crab suddenly stood up excitedly. He waved his arms and cheered loudly. His excitement was not disguised at all.
'Father, are you out of your mind?
Being a wretched thief is your style. Saving the world is not something you should be doing.
Crab Junior widened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief.
Old Crab pretended not to see his son's strange gaze and continued to praise the Dragon Queen. "Her Majesty is wise and benevolent. She has a true spirit of sacrifice. She is the role model for the nobles of the seven nations and a role model for the kings to learn from.
I believe that as long as the nobles of the seven nations see the Queen's determination and sincerity, they will put aside their prejudices and work together to get through the Long Night. "
"Father, a-are you alright?" Crab Junior stuttered, his eyes filled with panic.
'Father is crazy!'
"I'm fine." Old Crab glanced at the nobles at the table and said loudly, "The King's Landing is full of clowns. Have we not been waiting for a noble king to stand up and clean up the old mountains and rivers, cleanse the world and return a brand new Westeros to the world?"
Some of the knights nodded silently, some looked excited, and some reluctantly agreed. The rest looked at their companions blankly and decided to go with the crowd.
"Your Majesty, I will carry out your will." Bronn heaved a sigh of relief.
At least there was a guarantee. That was not bad.
"I will listen to the Queen," Count Monterey said.
The three heads of the Dragon Party, the knights, and the knights all agreed with the Dragon Queen's idea. Thus, the guiding ideology of the Long Night battle was unified.
"Then, let's move on to the next step. How to take down Dragonstone Island …"
.....
Two hours later, the first Dragon Party Congress ended. Three main tasks were completed. First, determine the core ideology of the Dragon Party. Second, attack Dragonstone Island and the subsequent defense. Third, the division of positions.
As for her position, Danny did not follow the system of seven ministers in the Westeros, which were the Hand of the King, the Captain of the Kingsguard, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Justice (Judiciary), the Chief of Intelligence, the Minister of Marine Affairs, and the Grand Secretary.
It wasn't that she couldn't gather seven ministers, but that her main focus was still at Slave's Bay. She couldn't maintain a small court on Dragonstone Island.
Based on the current manpower and the needs of future battles, the First Fleet General, the Second Fleet General, the First Honorable Knights Legion Commander, the Second Honorable Knights Legion Commander, and the Dragonstone Island Garrison Commander were established.
The position of General of the First Fleet was held by the old crab. He had many ships, many sons, brothers, and sailors. He could barely build the framework of a fleet.
The First Fleet was mainly responsible for gaining control of Blackwater Bay. At the very least, they had to ensure the safety of Dragonstone Island, Tidehead Island, and Crab Island.
The second fleet was led by the big crab, and it was only a fleet that existed on paper. Danny would buy ships to fill it up later.
The giant crab had rich sailing experience and was especially familiar with the narrow sea.
It was most suitable for him to be in charge of transporting food and receiving the barbarians from the Great Wall.
The First Honorable Knights Legion Commander was the young Count Monterey in name, but the actual command was controlled by his vassal, Sir Thordas Bush.
The middle-aged knight with missing front teeth was originally the garrison commander of Hightide City. He was in charge of the safety of Count Valerian's family. There were no issues with his loyalty and ability.
The Second Honorable Knights Legion Commander was Bronn.
The Dragonstone Island Garrison Commander was in charge of the safety of Dragonstone Island and the Queen. Naturally, the White Knight was also in charge.
Right, the "Honorable Knights" was a new thing that Danny came up with. It was to distinguish them from the knights and mercenaries of the Seven Kingdoms.
She changed the names of the knights under her, just like the White Knights. It was a new profession.
The Honorable Knights were different from the normal knights of the Seven Kingdoms in two aspects. The oath and promotion system were different.
As long as one swore the eight Knight Vows (Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces Version) made by the Knight King Dani and followed the vows with their actions, there was no need to apply Holy Oil, have a warhorse, or use Knight Battle Skills to become a Glorious Knight.
It seemed like a child's play, but in reality, it was the fastest way to promote her ideas.
Danny wanted to quickly seize a share of the "Knight market".
But this didn't mean that the quality of the Honorable Knights couldn't be guaranteed.
If an Honorable Knight violated the oath, and this was known and confirmed, the local monks had the right to strip him of his title.
It sounded a bit complicated, and taking off his pants to fart was superfluous. What was the use?
Or, there were too many Honorable Knights to supervise?
Danny didn't want to create a perfect world. She was just promoting her ideas.
In other words, Danny wanted to turn the Westeros' knight civilization into a Wuxia one.
Yes, she changed glory to chivalry, "Chivalrous Knight", "Knight on a Horse".
Currently, in Westeros, the promotion system for knights was like this: Commoner (working hard to earn money), Commoner with a little money (arming his son), Commoner with a horse and sword (training), Free Knight (looking for an employer), Mercenary Knight (working for the nobles), Productive Knight (performing meritorious deeds), and Knight with a title.
See, there was no need for benevolence, righteousness, morality, or noble character. There were two most important things: money and enough viciousness.
Only with money could one have good equipment. Good equipment could save one's life. Only with enough viciousness could one kill. Killing was equivalent to performing meritorious deeds. After performing meritorious deeds, one would become a noble.
The whole promotion process was despicable and bloody. The typical example was Bronn.
What about after Danny's Honorable Knights?
Commoner (having good ideals and a heart of chivalry), Honorable Knight (strong martial strength and outstanding moral character), Famous Honorable Knight (Honorable Knight hired because of his reputation), Disreputable Commoner
Or, Honorable Knight hired (doing good deeds, or doing bad deeds without being discovered), Productive Knight
Did you notice that it was very similar to the promotion process of the heroes in the Wuxia world?
Commoner (yearning for quick revenge in the Wuxia world), Wuxia people (martial strength and moral character), Heroic Knight (using his reputation to buy property (doing bad deeds without being discovered), Disreputable
Heroic Knight (doing good deeds without being discovered, or doing bad deeds without being discovered), Heroic Knight who was never short of money and could be passed down for generations
In today's Westeros, knights were not afraid of being discovered when they did bad deeds. In other words, they openly bullied the good, burned, killed, and plundered.
Wasn't it natural for nobles to bully commoners?
Because the identity of a knight was bestowed by the nobles and the church, commoners could not remove the title of a knight even if they cursed loudly. Commoners could not crown an ordinary person with true chivalry with the title of "knight" even if they praised loudly.
It was different when it came to Honorable Knights. Their identity, honor, and shame were all determined by the common people's sense of right and wrong.
Anyone who swore to be a good person (abiding by the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces version of the Chivalry Spirit) would immediately receive the title of an Honorable Knight.
Anyone who fulfilled the knight's oath of the Knight King would be praised and sung by the common people and become a famous Honorable Knight (Heroic Knight).
Anyone, even the king, who violated the oath would be spurned by the common people and nobles. It would be useless even if he insisted that he was an Honorable Knight.
In the Wuxia version of the Knight civilization, no noble would dare to kidnap commoners in public, commit murder, arson, and other crimes …
At most, they would quietly drip dry, and Westeros would evolve into a large number of Yue Buqun.
.....
Tidehead Island, High Tide City, Floating Wood Fort, inside the newly built Holy Church.
Under the statue of the Seven Gods, the Knight King Danny had a solemn expression. The sunset was projected on her body through the mosaic glass window, giving off a sacred and majestic aura.
It was just like when Stannis converted to the Red God Religion and gathered all his vassals on Dragonstone Island to witness the red-robed woman burning the statue of the Seven Gods.
The Knight Queen restored the Floating Wood Fort's Holy Church and gathered all her mounted knights. There were more than a thousand of them and redefined the meaning of a knight.
The three heads of the Dragon Faction knelt before her, followed by the knights and knights under the three heads. Behind them were Bronn's two hundred mercenary knights, hundreds of the young count's retainers, and more than four hundred marines led by the old crab.
The Holy Church was not big enough, so many people could only kneel on the stairs and in the courtyard.
Under the Double Dragon Spirit state, the Knight Queen Danny had a domineering aura and said loudly, "I swear to be kind to the weak!"
"I swear to be kind to the weak!" The knights in front of her shouted in unison.
"I swear to fight against rape!"
"I swear to fight against wrongdoing and injustice!"
"I swear to hold the sword in my hand and fight for the people of the world!"
"I swear to not harm children and infants!"
"I swear to help my brother knights!"
"I swear to be honest and trustworthy, to abide by the basic laws of the country and the traditions of all races!"
"I swear to be ashamed of ignorance, to be ashamed of being lazy, and to be ashamed of being extravagant!"
The Knight Queen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, you have become the first batch of honorable knights in Westeros. Please remember and uphold your oath. The Seven Gods, Megalosaurus, and I will watch over you together. "
Nighttime.
In the tower where Count Setiga lived, in the old crab's bedroom.
"Dad, this is another Saint Baylor." The second son of the Crab sighed.
The old crab shook his head and said, "Although she is overly righteous and even gave herself the title of archbishop, she is much smarter and more rational than Baylor.
In fact, I am very happy to see a Queen who sincerely believes in the Seven Gods. "
When Stannis burned the statues of the Seven Gods on Dragonstone Island, the old crab was also present. At that time, he used a piece of linen cloth to cover his face as a sign of protest. The nobles who dared to openly oppose the Red Gods were burned to death.
The second son of the Crab said emotionally, "The Seven Kingdoms are in chaos and the kings are in conflict. Only the despicable can survive and obtain the final victory. The Queen is too benevolent. My heart is burning with worry! "
The eldest son of the Crab said solemnly, "To be able to serve the benevolent and righteous Queen, we should be happy."
"The long night is dangerous. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are shameless and cunning. If we are not careful …" After a pause, the second son of the Crab said solemnly, "Brother, you have to understand the principle of 'act within your means'. The Queen seems to have the absolute advantage, but she clearly wants to fight the Deviants. The Dragons are not invincible!"
Following that, he looked at the father of the Crab and asked, "Father, do you think the Deviants are real?"
"Of course they are real. Would the Queen lie?" The eldest son of the Crab immediately said.
The second son of the Crab ignored his eldest son and only stared at his wise father.
"They might be real." After a moment of silence, the old crab said worriedly.
