Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

302AC, November.

Support from Essos finally reaches the north.

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

The Mandalay family, who was 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 fall of the Bolton family.

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 northern nobles who sincerely surrendered 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?"

Count Wyman Manderly looked at Jack who got off the dragon's back with an ugly face, and asked loudly.

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

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

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

During the Dance of Dragons, Daemon Targaryen's Clark Hugh was very sensitive to his master's emotions and could even make his own judgments.

It's a pity that Daemon's Clark Hugh was seriously injured and died 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 returned his attention to Lord 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 said his purpose with a smile. Now that the northern nobles have made their choice, it won't work if you don't make a choice, and it won't work if you don't support me!

Wyman Mandler obviously heard the meaning of Jack's words.

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

Wyman had made it very clear at this time that he could be loyal to Jack, but he was swearing allegiance as a vassal of the Stark family.

When the Mandalay family was expelled from the Riverlands, only Stark, the King of the North, was willing to take them in and even gave them a fiefdom.

The Mandalay family will never forget this kindness, and will never give up helping Stark when the Stark family is in the most difficult time.

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

Wyman has been searching for the whereabouts of Rickon Stark and sent five waves of people one after another.

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 North. At the same time, in view of Earl Weiman's loyalty, I have decided to make you the Marquis of White Blade River and go to White Blade River to take office immediately."

The White Blade River is located east and west of Winterfell. There is a large territory there and the land is fertile. At the same time, because it is close to the White Blade River, transportation is also very convenient.

For the Mandalay family, no matter how you look at it, the fork of the White Blade River is an excellent place. Not only has its territory expanded several times, but it has also been promoted from an earl family to a 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 it is the direct territory of the Stark family!

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

Looking at Colakxiu behind Jack, Wyman Mandler 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 was developed with great effort was given away just because of the lord's words?

it's out of the question!

If the lord dares to do this, he will be pushed to the gallows by everyone.

Wyman Mandler bets that now that the North has just stabilized, Jack doesn't dare to force him!

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

It's better to let the family members go to the fork of the Bairen River to claim the title of Marquis, or I can just give up, what do you think? "

Wyman Mandler was very smart. He first said that he could let family members claim the title of Marquis of White Blade River, or he could directly give up the position of Marquis of White Blade River.

Comparing the before and after, it is a direct matter of advancement and retreat. As long as Jack chooses to retreat for the sake of stability in the north, he can temporarily keep White Harbor.

Weiman had no choice but to make this move.

When he faced Roose Bolton, the opponent only had more than 10,000 troops, and Roose only received the support of half of the nobles in the north.

Therefore, even though Roose Bolton has an absolute advantage in military power, he does not dare to take action against White Harbor, so he has the confidence to negotiate.

But now facing Jack, the situation was completely different.

Jack has gained the support of the nobles of the North. Although the North can only muster no more than 3,000 troops after a great battle, Wyman still has no confidence to negotiate with Jack.

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

Facing the dragon of the sky overlord, the soldiers who escaped from the battle on the night of death said that in front of the dragon's flames, people are like ants, and a large number of them can be burned to death at will.

So Wyman knew very well that the 4,000 troops that the Manderly family could muster might not even make a splash in the face of this red beast.

Jack faced Wyman's move of retreating in order to advance, and there was no ripple in his heart.

Why?

Because the fleet of Atlantis had already docked at the outer port of White Harbor.

Jack smiled and said nothing. As the warships docked, large numbers of Unsullied came behind Jack in uniform steps.

As more and more Unsullied appeared, soon 5,000 Unsullied appeared at the outer port of White Harbor.

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

Wyman Manderly looked at this scene, his cheeks trembling. He did not expect that so many elite troops would disembark from these ships.

Looking at the discipline of this army, it is definitely not an ordinary elite. In terms of discipline alone, even the elite of the West Territory cannot compare to these thousands of people.

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