Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 273
c267 Mowgli, Melias, Ekaterina, Renesse
Jack’s words did not liven up the atmosphere, but the stagnant atmosphere at the scene did ease a little.
In the following time, Jack did not waste words and directly started the main content of this meeting – go north to kill the ghosts!
The nobles present were all the most powerful ones in Westeros. After discussion, they found that Westeros could only gather 230,000 troops at most.
Among them, there were 20,000 in Dorne, 100,000 in the Reach, 10,000 in the Stormlands and the Crownland, 50,000 in the Westerlands, 10,000 in the Riverlands, 20,000 in the Valley, and 20,000 in the North and the Iron Islands.
230,000 people are not small. Although they are not as strong as before the War of the Five Kings, they can still resist the White Walkers by relying on the Great Wall.
But Jack did not expect them to fight against the White Walkers, and a considerable number of these 230,000 people were in the south. The supplies stationed under the Great Wall alone were astronomical figures.
Jack’s goal was the supplies in the hands of this group of people, and naturally he would not let these supplies be wasted on a group of conscripts.
So Jack expressed his thoughts.
Atlantis has a new type of weapon, which is as powerful as dragon flame.
Then Jack told everyone about the tsunami cannon developed by Atlantis.
And Jack said that there are 1,200 tsunami cannons on the market, and the human wave tactics have no effect in front of the tsunami cannon.
But Jack needs a large number of dragon crystal shells. After all, ordinary shells can only deal with wights and cannot cause damage to the white walkers and the Night King.
And Dragonstone Island is buried with a large amount of dragon crystal, but it needs manpower to mine the dragon crystal.
Therefore, Jack needs a large number of craftsmen and a large amount of materials.
As long as the southern nobles are willing to support 70% of their own craftsmen and materials, Jack can rely on the northern army and the Unsullied to defeat the white walkers alone.
Jack’s proposal made everyone very excited. Now that the civil war is over, Jack does not prohibit everyone from going to the Great Wall to see the white walkers outside the city.
So the existence of the white walkers is beyond doubt. Facing such a terrifying creature, the nobles naturally would rather not go.
But Jack wanted too much, 70% of the craftsmen and materials, which was no different from directly draining them. Whether they could survive the winter was still a question.
So the southern nobles said that they would give 40% at most, and they would not be able to survive if they gave more. Let’s wait for the White Walkers to come in.
However, Jack would definitely not agree to their proposal. 70% of the materials and craftsmen must not be less, but Jack promised that he would provide them with interest-free materials during the Long Night.
Otherwise, he would withdraw all his forces now, and after the White Walkers occupied Westeros and killed all humans, he would take back Westeros with the dragon and the sea god.
Although the southern nobles knew that Jack would definitely not give up Westeros, they did not dare to gamble.
In the end, they could only sign an agreement with Jack. They provided materials and craftsmen, and Jack would provide them with interest-free material loans during the Long Night.
And they also put forward a condition, that is, to let Jack promise that the status quo of the five places of Vale, Westerland, Stormland, River Bay, and Dorne needs to be maintained.
Jack readily agreed. It happened that there were not enough basic officials on the Sea King Island now, so he let them govern themselves for a while.
When the southern nobles needed his interest-free loans, he directly placed his own forces in five places in the form of a company, and controlled all the local livelihood materials in his hands.
As soon as the long night ended, he immediately abdicated and let Elizabeth succeed him. He promised the autonomy of the five places, but it did not mean that Elizabeth promised!
The meeting lasted for half a month before the details were finalized, and then a large amount of materials began to be transported to Silor.
At the same time, in order to reduce refugees, Jack took the lead in establishing the Poseidon Humanitarian Rescue Center.
Under Jack’s semi-coercion, the southern nobles reluctantly raised 1.2 million gold dragons to the Poseidon Rescue Center.
Jack was not so greedy as to embezzle such money. He counted a large amount of land that was abandoned due to the war.
Then Jack used this part of the land to absorb a large number of refugees, and at the same time hired the remaining refugees to build roads, bridges, and dig dragon crystals.
Although these works were time-consuming and laborious, the results were still very obvious. Jack spent other people’s money and gained all the reputation. Jack even took the opportunity to build a large number of Poseidon churches all over Westeros.
Time soon came to September 6th.
On this day, something happened that was not big or small, but it made several dukes in Westeros feel uneasy.
Asha Greyjoy gave birth to a boy, and with the boy, there was also a blue dragon!
The boy was named Mowgli Poseidon by Jack, and the blue dragon was named Melias.
When Mowgli Poseidon appeared in everyone’s sight for the first time with the blue dragon, Jack used his actions to show the authenticity of his dragon release.
When the child was born, Jack immediately ordered Mowgli Poseidon to be crowned the Prince of the Iron Islands, and at the same time established the Iron Islands’ cabinet, the House of Lords and the House of Representatives.
Because there were 18 members in the House of Lords, and only 9 of them were airdropped from the Empire, and the remaining eight were selected from nobles above the earl level, a fierce struggle broke out among the nobles of the Iron Islands.
The Greyjoy family is now temporarily controlled by Asha, and the true heir of the Greyjoy family, Theon Greyjoy, is still studying in the Sea God Temple on Sea King Island.
September 24th.
Jack had two more daughters, and this time Dany gave birth to two daughters for Jack.
Fortunately, Jack did not have the idea of favoring boys over girls. As soon as his two daughters were born, Jack granted them fiefs.
The elder sister was named by Jack, Ekaterina Poseidon, and was named the Prince of Dragonstone. The crown was renamed Dragonstone, which belonged to the territory of the Prince of Dragonstone.
The younger sister was named by Daenerys, Rhaenys Targaryen, and was named the Duke of Dragonstone by Jack.
Daenerys had given Jack four children. Jack had promised Daenerys that he would rebuild the Targaryen family, and naturally he would not break his promise.
Jack even promised to give Rhaenys the development ideas of thermal weapons technology and the thermal weapons technology of Atlantis in the next 18 years as a gift to help her strengthen the Targaryen family.
This is undoubtedly a very valuable gift, especially the future development ideas of thermal weapons promised by Jack, which is the most important.
Daenerys was very moved by the gift that Jack gave to the Targaryen family. Just a few days after giving birth to the child, she began to give birth to another child for Jack.
After Jack spent some time with Daenerys on Sea King Island, he returned to Westeros.
