Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 199: Count Weiman, is it okay now?
302AC, November.

Reinforcement from Essos has finally reached the North.

However, the Atlantis fleet did not dock at Eastwatch, but sailed directly into White Harbor.

The Mandalay family, who were originally extremely nervous, immediately understood the origin of this fleet after seeing the giant dragon rushing down from the clouds and landing at the port.

Half a month has passed since the Bolton family fell.

Now, except for the Mandalay family, all the nobles in the north have surrendered to the Poseidon family, whether sincerely or under force.

Many northern nobles were very resistant to the newly emerged family of Poseidon.

Even some sincerely surrendering northern nobles persuaded Jack to change his surname to Targaryen.

Jack naturally did not agree, but it was normal for them to have such thoughts before they had seen Poseidon in person.

"Master Jack, what do you mean?"

Earl Wyman Manderly looked ugly, looked at Jack who came down from the dragon's back, and asked loudly.

"Hiss—" Clark Hugh roared suddenly, as if to say, who gave you the courage to speak to my father so loudly?

Clark Hugh's sudden roar startled Wyman and the guards behind him.

Looking at the frightened Earl of Mandalay, Jack secretly gave Clark Hugh a thumbs-up, which was very appropriate.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Damon Targaryen's Clark Hugh was very sensitive to his master's emotional perception, and could even make his own judgment.

It's a pity that Daemon's Clark Hugh died of serious injuries in the battle with Vhagar, the mother of dragons.

Otherwise, Clark Hugh is likely to surpass Balerion, the "black death" of the Targaryen family.

After symbolically appeasing Clark Hugh, Jack refocused on Earl Wyman Manderly.

"Earl Mandalay, can we talk about it? All the nobles in the north have made their choice, but you haven't expressed your stance. This is not okay."

Jack smiled and said his purpose. Now that the northern nobles have made choices, you can't do it if you don't make a choice, and you can't do it if you don't support me!
Wyman Manderly obviously also heard the meaning of Jack's words.

"I've already made a choice, haven't I? The Manderly family is a vassal of the Stark family and has always been loyal to the North."

Wyman has made it very clear at this time that he can be loyal to Jack, but he swears allegiance as a vassal of the Stark family.

When the Manderly family was expelled from the Reach, only Stark, the king of the North, was willing to take them in and even gave them a fief.

The Mandalay family will never forget this kindness, let alone give up helping Stark when the Stark family is most difficult.

Lord Wyman Manderly has learned about Rickon Stark, who is on Skagos Island.

Wyman has been looking for the whereabouts of Rickon Stark, and sent five waves of people back and forth.

But so far, no news has come back, and the men sent out have no news at all after they left, as if they disappeared on Skagos Island.

However, Jack would never leave White Harbor, the most important port in the North and one of the five major cities in Westeros, to be managed by a loyalist of the Stark family.

"Of course there is no problem, as long as you are loyal to the northern border. At the same time, in view of Earl Wyman's loyalty, I have decided to make you the Marquis of the White Knife River and immediately go to the White Knife River to take up the post."

The White Knife River is in the east-west direction of Winterfell, where there is a large area of ​​land with fertile land, and because it is adjacent to the White Knife River, the transportation is very convenient.

For the Mandalay family, no matter from which point of view, the fork of the White Blade River is an excellent place. Not only has the territory expanded several times, but it has also been promoted from the earl family to the marquis family.

But Wyman Mandler was not happy at all, and even felt a deep crisis.

Because the fork of the White Blade River is indeed a good place, but that is the territory directly under the Stark family!

And from the look of Jack, Wiman was determined to occupy White Harbor.

Looking at Claxhu behind Jack, Wyman Manderly still wanted to struggle again.

After all, even a lord cannot force his vassals to hand over their territory. Otherwise, who would do their best to develop the territory?

The territory that has been developed with painstaking efforts, is surrendered just because of a word from the lord?

it's out of the question!

If the lord dares to do this, then wait to be pushed to the gallows by everyone.

Wyman Manderly bet that now that the northern border has just stabilized, Jack dare not force him!

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but my family has lived in White Harbor for a thousand years, and I really have no intention of moving.

How about this, I let the family members go to the fork of the Bairen River to accept the title of Marquis, or just give up, you see? "

Wyman Manderly was very smart. He first stated that he could ask family members to accept the Marquis of White Knife River, or give up the position of Marquis directly.

Comparing the before and after, it is straight to advance as retreat. As long as Jack chooses to retreat for the stability of the northern border, he can temporarily keep White Harbor.

Wiman had no choice but to make this move.

When he faced Roose Bolton back then, the opponent only had more than 1 troops, and Roose only won the support of half of the nobles in the northern border.

So even though Roose Bolton had an absolute advantage in military power, he did not dare to attack White Harbor, so he had the confidence to negotiate.

But now facing Jack, the situation is completely different.

Jack has already won the support of the nobles in the northern border. Although after a great battle, the northern border can gather no more than [-] troops, but Wiman still has no confidence to negotiate with Jack.

In the final analysis, it was because of the terrifying beast behind Jack.

Facing the giant dragon that dominates the sky, I heard from the soldiers who escaped from the battle on Death Night that in front of the dragon's flames, people are like ants, and they can easily burn a large area to death.

So Weiman knew very well that the [-] troops that the Mandalay family could muster might not even be able to fight this giant red beast.

Faced with Weyman's move, Jack retreated, without the slightest disturbance in his heart.

why?
Because the fleet of Atlantis has stopped at the outer port of White Harbor.

Jack smiled and said nothing. As the warship docked, a large number of Unsullied came behind Jack in uniform steps.

As more and more Unsullied appeared, not long after, five thousand Unsullied had appeared at the outer harbor wharf of White Harbor.

After the Unsullied disembarked, the sailors carried boxes of golden dragons off the ship, and finally there were 50 officials who would assist Jack in completing the transformation and control of the North.

Wyman Mandalay watched this scene, his cheeks trembling, he didn't expect so many elite troops to come down from these ships.

Judging by the discipline of this army, it is definitely not an ordinary elite. In terms of discipline alone, even the elite of the Western Region cannot compare with these thousands of people.

Jack smiled lightly, and said loudly: "Earl Wyman, now, are you willing to become the Marquis of the White Knife River?"
