Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 248
c245 Poseidon
When Jack returned to the Iron Islands, the nobles of the Iron Islands who supported Euron were completely disheartened.
Euron fell, and the man they had high hopes for still fell in front of the dragon, and his head was stuck on the halberd blade for public display.
Unlike this group of nobles, some lords who supported Asha were still ecstatic, not knowing that the reform was about to begin.
Asha Greyjoy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jack’s head on the halberd blade.
“Are you okay?” Asha stepped forward to check Jack’s body, and after finding that he was not injured, she continued to ask, “What’s the matter with the storm and the blue light column that shot up into the sky? What happened?”
Jack remained silent, heavily inserted the Trident of the Sea King into the ground, and turned to look at the sea.
The Unsullied stationed in King’s Harbor seemed to feel something, and began to rhythmically strike the ground with their spears.
Asha looked at the fanatical Unsullied, and a flash of doubt flashed between her brows, and then she also looked at the sea.
And many nobles who chose to support Asha and followed Asha also looked at the sea.
Just as they were wondering, the originally calm sea surface began to show layers of waves, as if there was some huge creature swimming under the sea surface.
Before Asha asked, a huge dorsal fin emitting a striking blue light appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
This scene made everyone’s pupils shrink suddenly. They lived by the sea all year round, so they could naturally estimate how huge the body under the dorsal fin was.
Gulp – Asha swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“What is this?” She asked Jack with difficulty.
“You will know soon, the glory of the sea god will surely shine on the world.”
As soon as Jack finished speaking, Poseidon, who was slowly slowing down, also arrived at King’s Port.
In order to prevent King’s Port from being trampled, Poseidon chose to land on a beach not far away.
“Ang——!”
“When the first roar of the sea god appeared in Westeros, I knew that no one could stop your father’s footsteps anymore.” This sentence was what Asha often said to her daughter after she was born.
The height of more than 200 meters seemed to cover the sky and the sun, causing an indescribable shock to Asha.
Asha used to ask Daenerys curiously why she gave up the Iron Throne and married Jack, who only had one dragon, with three dragons.
Daenerys never told her. At first, she thought it was because Korak Hugh was a level stronger than the three brothers of Drogon, but she still wondered if three dragons were not as good as one dragon.
Now she finally knew why Daenerys would rather give up the Iron Throne and become Jack’s legal wife.
Compared with an Iron Throne that rules Westeros and may be overthrown at any time, and an imperial queen who can take over two continents at any time, anyone with a normal brain knows how to choose.
Poseidon slowly leaned down and stretched out his right hand. Looking at the hideous face close at hand, Asha was frightened and stunned.
Seeing this, Jack gently hugged Asha’s tough waist, “Today, I will take you to experience the feeling of ruling the world.”
Asha didn’t react until Jack hugged her and walked into Poseidon’s palm. Just as she was about to say something, Poseidon had come in person.
The perspective quickly rose, and Asha hurriedly hugged Jack in panic.
“Don’t panic, Poseidon is very gentle, of course, the premise is that you don’t make her angry.”
Jack’s voice came, and Asha slowly tried to look elsewhere.
Poseidon slowly walked towards Pike City. Jack wanted to take action to tell the people on Pike Island that in the face of an absolute gap, everything is futile.
The feeling in Poseidon’s palm is completely different from being on the back of a dragon.
When Poseidon arrived at Pike City, there was a huge panic in the city. The Ironmen fled in all directions, and screams of terror came one after another.
But fortunately, the Unsullied in the city had received orders long ago and quickly controlled the unrest in the city. All those who wanted to take advantage of the fire were executed. The human cost of catching them was too high, so it was more convenient to kill them directly.
Looking at the Ironmen fleeing like ants under my feet, a sense of fear inexplicably surged into my heart. Of course, more of it was the satisfaction of being the king of the world.
After Jack destroyed Euron’s fleet, he began to speed up the elimination of hidden dangers within the Iron Islands.
At the same time, Jack ordered the nobles of each island in the Iron Islands, including barons and property knights, to reply and swear allegiance immediately after receiving the raven.
And they must reach Pike City in the Iron Islands within a week, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
There are seven main islands in the Iron Islands, namely Pike Island, Halfall Island with the largest population, Great Wyke Island with the richest iron ore, Old Wyke Island where the king selection meeting is held, Oak Island, which was once the base camp of the Iron King of the Greyiron family, and a Black Tide Island.
Most of the nobles who received the raven chose to reply and swear allegiance, but only a small number of small nobles chose to go to Pike Island.
Most of the nobles on other islands still chose to wait and see, or simply refused to be loyal.
They didn’t know about Jack’s liquidation of Pike Island. It all happened so quickly that they didn’t know the specific situation now, and they were afraid that they would be wiped out after going to Pike Island.
But Jack didn’t care about these. There was a war in the North, so Jack took advantage of the war to eliminate some old nobles.
But there hadn’t been a major civil war in the Iron Islands yet, and he was worried that if these nobles came here, he would have no excuse to eliminate them.
A week later, only a few barons and wealthy knights came to Pike Island.
When they saw the giant dragon in the sky and Poseidon outside the city, which looked like a mountain range, they began to feel lucky that they had come.
Jack did not treat these people unfairly. He incorporated them into the House of Lords and the Cabinet according to the North’s model.
They originally only managed one or more small villages, but they became the future top dignitaries of the Iron Islands in a daze.
Jack didn’t know how fortunate they would be for their choice today. At this time, he had already driven Korakshu and led Poseidon to kill the other six islands.
When Poseidon appeared on the land of the other six islands, Jack did not give the nobles who refused to be loyal and waited and watched a chance to surrender.
Atomic breath and dragon fire ravaged the six islands, and many nobles turned to ashes without even having a chance to react.
This great purge lasted for half a month and caused a large number of civilian casualties.
Jack didn’t care about it. The Ironmen admired the strong. Being too good to the Ironmen would make them think that Jack was weak, which was not good for the subsequent ideological transformation.
Only by making the Ironmen afraid would they honestly cooperate with Jack’s subsequent work.
Because of the experience of reforming the North, the future framework of the Iron Islands was quickly completed, and Asha temporarily served as the Prince Governor.
The Iron Fleet was also stationed in Kingsport and did not move. They needed to assist Asha in managing the Iron Islands.
If the remnants of the old nobles rebelled after Jack left, Asha could also command the Iron Fleet to quell the rebellion among the seven main islands of the Iron Islands.
