Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 277

c271 Empire, Offspring, Dragon Eggs

October 310AC.

The Long Night has lasted for five years, and its cruelty far exceeded Jack’s expectations.

Even though they were well prepared, and even had the honeycomb coal heating invented by Jack, about 1.1 million people have died so far.

Among them, one million died in Westeros, and 99% of these one million people were civilians under the old noble forces in the south.

In addition, the Free Trade Coast, Lazar Province, Qarth Province under the jurisdiction of the Empire, and the Yilin Province established by Sothoryos before the Long Night, a total of about 100,000 people died.

The situation on Sea King Island was much better, and no one died.

In the third year after the Long Night, Sea King Island completed the construction of the steam heating system.

In addition, dried oil fish is also a perfect combustion material. The price of fast-growing oil fish is about the same as honeycomb coal, and it is also one of the fuels for heating.

The Sea King Palace, as a palace where the Sea King’s administration and residence are combined, here is brilliantly lit, as bright and warm as summer.

Jack listened to Asidov’s report. The death toll in Westeros was rising. Even if he held 70% of the supplies in his own hands and distributed them to civilians in a fixed amount, the amount of supplies was still far from enough.

The impact of the war on Westeros was too great. A large amount of supplies that should have been used to deal with the long night were used in the war.

Of course, the main reason was Jack’s order.

Under Jack’s order, the people of the old nobles could get relief supplies as long as they went to the Church of Poseidon to pray and work.

It was very normal for more than 90% of people to die in the long night in the past. The materials in the hands of the nobles were not prepared for civilians.

For the nobles, as long as there were people to farm for them after the long night, it didn’t matter how many people died.

After discussion, Jack and Asidov agreed that the time was almost right. It was time to completely control the continent of Westeros.

Then 24 Sea Dragon 217 transport ships sailed out of the port, carrying a large amount of supplies to the continent of Westeros.

The Sea Dragon 217 transport ship is a steam warship. Jack has proposed a lot of research ideas. With the huge bonus system, the Sea King Island has begun the steam revolution.

Facts have proved that after thousands of years of development, this world is still in the feudal fiefdom system or slavery system, not because the people here are hopelessly stupid.

As long as you are willing to spend money, provide corresponding conditions, and point out the research path, you can still quickly enter the steam tense.

And Jack has anticipated the arrival of this day.

As early as the arrival of the long night, after he signed a non-aggression treaty with the free trade city-state, he began to buy some unpopular land in various city-states at high prices.

Then build military bases in the name of building factories.

These bases have long secretly stored a large amount of supplies. Even if there is no supply after the arrival of the long night, the empire can still rely on the supplies stored in these bases to travel back and forth between the two continents.

In September 311AC, a large amount of supplies successfully arrived at White Harbor.

In the same month, Poseidon’s first offspring was born. Jack named him Dagon and gave him to Elizabeth Poseidon to raise.

A year passed in a flash.

On August 1, 312AC, Jack Poseidon suddenly announced his abdication and became the emperor, and Queen Elizabeth Poseidon succeeded to the throne.

Elizabeth Poseidon is the most outstanding child of Jack Poseidon. She is very talented in politics. After Jack’s teaching, she is very good at controlling power.

In the third month of Queen Elizabeth’s accession to the throne, that is, November 312AC.

Peasant uprisings began to appear in the south of Westeros. They did not agree with their own fate. He wanted to be the master of his own house, and they wanted to survive!

The scale of the peasant uprising was very large, and it could almost be said that one call was responded to by hundreds. The most important thing was that the rebels did not seem to lack supplies, which made the noble class realize something.

Not only did the south have unrest, but the north and even the Iron Islands also had peasant uprisings.

In this long night without sunlight, war appeared again in Westeros.

The noble class was beaten back step by step, and soon it was a matter of life and death. The armies of both sides gathered in the river, ready to fight to the death.

However, this fateful battle did not take place. At the critical moment, Queen Elizabeth arrived on a dragon, accompanied by Carax and Drogon.

Seeing the Queen of the Empire riding three dragons, the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

Then, under Elizabeth’s mediation, the two sides ceased fighting, but the rebels put forward three conditions.

The first condition was that all places in Westeros must be reformed according to the current system of the North.

The second condition was that the House of Lords must be changed, with the Empire occupying ten seats and the remaining eight seats being divided equally between noble and civilian representatives.

The third condition was that the land should be owned by the Empire, but the civilians should have the right to use, lease and renew the land.

Finally, the representatives of the rebels and the nobles signed a treaty under the witness of Elizabeth, and the treaty was returned to the Empire.

The nobles knew very well that this was a conspiracy step by step, and the peasant uprising was a cover!

But they had no choice. They had expected this day to come years ago, but they didn’t expect it to come so soon, and they didn’t expect Jack to wait even after the long night.

Because Elizabeth was well prepared, the reform of Westeros went very smoothly and took only one year.

315AC.

Lyanna Mormont’s eldest son, Elkan Poseidon, was canonized as the Prince of the North by Elizabeth, and Jack gave him a yellow dragon egg, which came from the Shadow Land.

Sansa Stark’s eldest son, Amos Poseidon, was canonized as the Prince of the Riverlands by Elizabeth, and Jack gave him a white dragon egg, which was the offspring of Viserion.

Viteliel finally fulfilled her wish fifteen years ago and gave Jack a litter of big fat boys. Her eldest son, Ticcas Poseidon, was canonized as the Prince of the Vale by Elizabeth, and Jack gave Ticcas a yellow dragon egg, which was said to be the offspring of a sheep thief and came from the treasure house of the Arryn family.

Ellie and Jager each gave Jack a son and a daughter. Ellie’s eldest son Carol Poseidon and Jager’s eldest daughter Tiana Poseidon were respectively canonized as prince and princess, and jointly governed the West. Jack sent two dragon eggs, one blue and one red, which were the offspring of Carax and Drogon.

Although they ruled the West together, Ellie and Jager were both born as bed slaves, and were originally vases given by others. Jack gave the West to their children because they were the first to serve him, which was considered to be responsible to the end.

Myrcella Poseidon’s eldest son, Dominic Poseidon, was canonized as the Prince of Stormland. Jack sent a blue dragon egg, which came from the Shadow Land.

Margaery Tyrell’s eldest daughter, Lidovya Poseidon, was promoted from an honorary prince to the official prince of the Reach, governing the Reach for the Poseidon family. Jack also gave Aset a red dragon egg without hesitation, which was the offspring of Carax and Drogon.

Arianne Martell’s eldest son, Aset Poseidon, was also canonized as the prince of Dorne. Jack gave Aset a yellow dragon egg, which came from the Shadow Land.
