Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 138 Bear Island's Example

Westeros, the North.

Jack had led four thousand infantry to surround Hearth City at this time.

Of course, it is impossible to make the nobles in the northern region obediently bow down with only one bloodline and name.

In the end, you have to speak with military power, such as Hearth City.

After receiving Jack's letter, a civil unrest broke out in Hearth City, with Heather Umber claiming that Morse Umber had betrayed the family, but did not specify why.

Because Luther Amber gathered hundreds of people and began to hastily prepare supplies for the defense of the city.

In the end, Heather Amber couldn't stand the pressure from below, saying that it was the illegitimate son of the Stark family who instigated the night watchmen, and united with the rude wildlings to seize the North.

The Stark family has ruled the North for 8000 years. Although it is now torn apart, the power is still there. Heather Amber can clearly feel the hearts of his subordinates.

Fortunately, the Last Hearth City, as the castle of the Amber family, still has strong defense capabilities.

Although the strength of the Amber family was greatly reduced after the Scarlet Wedding, they were still able to pull out a 500-man defense team.

After receiving Jack's letter, the nobles in the North had mixed reactions, but no one directly expressed their allegiance.

No one knows whether the content of the letter is true or not. If the dragon and everything else are false, then rashly swearing allegiance would be suicide.

Although the aristocrats are usually arrogant and stupid, they are especially cautious when it comes to the restoration of the dynasty. If they don't do it, the family inheritance will be cut off.

Jack was not disappointed in this either, but after besieging Hearth City, he first brought the long claws of the Mormont family to Bear Island.

The windswept Mormont guards were blinded as Coraxhu's great sail-like wings fluttered.

After seeing the creature in front of them clearly, the two guards froze for a moment, and stayed where they were with some fear.

"Jack Poseidon is visiting, please inform me."

When Jack's voice came, the guards noticed that Jack was on the dragon's back, and crawled to Bear Castle to report.

House Mormont's gate was made of stone, surrounded by a number of clay palisades.

At the door, a woman in a bear's skin is carved.

A child drinks milk in one arm, while she holds a tomahawk in the other.

Because in the old days, wildlings from the frozen coast would often attack Bear Island after the men were out fishing.

Women had to shoulder the mission of fighting against the invaders, which made the women of Bear Island form a unique warrior culture.

The Mormont family's castle is more like a two-story villa, because the barrenness of Bear Island makes the Mormont family have no financial resources to build a decent earl's castle.

Jack wonders whether it is Lyanna Mormont or Alysanne Mormont who rules Bear Island at this time.

When Robb Stark led the army to go south, because Jorah Mormont was exiled, the countess of Bear Island could only take his heir daughter to join the army and go south.

After the Bloody Wedding, Maggie Mormont and her eldest daughter Daisy Mormont were all killed, and Alexandra Mormont was the official heir to Bear Island.

Soon, a small figure came to the gate of Bear Castle.

"I am the current Earl of Bear Island, Lyanna Mormont, please explain your purpose."

The tone and momentum of this speech, Jack knew who it was without hearing the name.

The bear girl who was pinched to death by a ghoul giant left a deep impression on the audience.

Lyanna is 12 years old, and she became Earl of Bear Island after both her mother and sister died at the Red Wedding.

At only 12 years old, she is quite politically minded, and Xiongdao has developed steadily under her governance.

Jack looked Lyanna up and down, and the bear girl was not particularly beautiful, but she was full of heroism.

Especially when facing Kerakxiu for the first time, he was able to remain calm, which was better than some adults.

A perfect little chili loli.

Jack rolled out of the saddle and handed Longclaw to Lyanna.

"This is Longclaw, the inherited sword of your family, and you are more entitled to have it than Jorah Mormont."

Lyanna was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that Jack came to deliver the sword.

"My cousin, serving Daenerys Targaryen? Is he all right?" Lyanna asked.

"Well, he is trying to become better, and now he is the commander-in-chief of the 6000-strong army."

Lyanna was silent for a while, and then asked again: "If you conquer the northern border, can you really guarantee that Stark will become the Duke again?"

"Of course, as long as I conquer the northern border, I will reward the northern border to the Stark family again, and then I will re-rule the Seven Kingdoms and gather the strength of the Seven Kingdoms to fight against the army of white ghosts from the north."

Jack smiled inwardly, and if one were to say that the Stark family was loyal, the Mormont family on Bear Island was definitely one of them.

Of course, loyalty varies from person to person, and Lyanna Mormont happens to be a little lolita full of integrity.

The Mormont family, who have kept the oath for the Stark family for nearly a thousand years, will never break their oath now.

So Jack came to return the sword on the surface this time, but in fact he wanted to persuade Xiongdao to support him face to face.

Although Xiong Dao's strength is not strong, it has a great role model.

Once Bear Island fights for Jack, other nobles loyal to the Stark family who are still on the sidelines will quickly choose sides.

And Jack's practice of returning Longclaw in person obviously made Lyanna's first impression of him very good.

"Okay, since that's the case, the Mormont family is willing to serve you, and is willing to send 60 people to fight for you."

Seemingly feeling that 60 people is a bit small, Lianna said again: "We are not a big family, but the men in Bear Island can be as good as ten."

After receiving Jack's surrender letter, Lyanna, like most lords, did not respond.

But now that Jack came here to return Longclaw, she felt that Jack was a man who kept his promise.

Therefore, deciding to be loyal to Jack can be regarded as contributing to the Stark family becoming the Duke of the North again.

"Now that the Ironborn are about to move, it's better not to move the defense force of Bear Island. I want to be alone."

Lyanna frowned, she felt that Jack was looking down on the men of Bear Island.

But she still asked: "Who do you want?"

"I want you."

Lyanna blinked her big eyes, and asked uncertainly, "You mean me?"

"Yes, I firmly believe that the men on Bear Island can outnumber ten, but they need to protect their families. I can't let Bear Island be plundered by the Ironborn because of a war. I only want you."

"You are the Earl of Bear Island. I need you to call on other nobles loyal to the Stark family to rise up and resist. The cruelty of the Bolton family is obvious to all. The skinned man is not worthy to be the Duke of the North."

Lyanna's face was reddish, she almost misunderstood just now, she is only ten years old now, and her fighting power is definitely not as good as the fighters on Bear Island.

But Jack said frankly that as long as she was there, it's no wonder she would think too much, she thought Jack had a copper smelting addiction.

"Okay, I'll bring thirty people with me and go with you."

In the end, Lyanna insisted on taking the warriors from Bear Island.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll wait for you in the Last Hearth City, and I'll ask Count Lyanna to write to other nobles in the northern border."

Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Jack prepares to leave Bear Island and go to Eastwatch.
