Chapter 161: Deepwood Motte Changes Ownership
The next morning, the sun broke through the dark clouds that had been there all night.
In the open space in front of Deepwood Motte, four hundred and forty Ironborn knelt on the ground.
A total of 129 iron races were killed last night, and the rest all chose to surrender.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these iron species? I suggest that we kill them all to avoid wasting food." Saigon said directly.
The most worry-free approach is to kill all these prisoners. Otherwise, we will have to provide food for these prisoners, which is a pure waste of food.
"No need to kill them. Spare these ironmen's lives. When Asha Greyjoy returns, we can use these ironmen to win her over." Daenerys rejected Segun's proposal.
The Forest Clan, Trunk Clan, Bough Clan, and Tree Clan near Deepwood Motte are loyal to the Glover family and are also its fiefdoms.
These four clans established villages near Deepwood Motte. Although they were still clans, they gradually moved away from hunting.
After Deepwood Motte was captured, the four major clans tried to rescue it, but most of the men followed Robb south to fight.
This indirectly led to the fact that not only did they fail to retake Deepwood Motte, but they were robbed by the ironborn in Deepwood Motte instead, and many women were abducted.
At this time, Lady Glover and her daughter Aina, who were under house arrest, were also released by Daenerys, but at this time, only Lady Glover and her daughter Aina Glover were left in the Glover family.
In response, Daenerys directly appointed Aina Glover as the Earl of Deepwood Motte.
Mrs. Glover was very grateful. Since her husband left, the steward of Deepwood Motte became the real owner of the castle, and she and her daughter were imprisoned in the castle.
Later, Asha Greyjoy led a thousand men to capture Deepwood Motte. Although Asha treated the mother and daughter well, they were still prisoners after all.
For this reason, Lady Glover told Asha Greyjoy that the North would definitely exchange Dragonhorn and the Stone Shore for Deepwood Motte.
Asha readily agreed, and was prepared to use this achievement to gain the support of everyone at the kingselection meeting.
Mrs. Glover, who had been captured twice, finally regained her freedom and swore allegiance to Daenerys without any hesitation.
Daenerys then asked Cassar to arrange people to guard the Iron Men and arrange for the captives to repair the castle and clean it.
At the same time, let Kasa move all their tribes to the vicinity of Deepwood Motte and build a small town with Deepwood Motte as the center.
After making all these arrangements, Daenerys wrote another letter to Jack in Hearth Castle, informing Jack that Deepwood Motte had been captured.
The raven quickly delivered the letter to Jack.
Last Hearth City.
After Jack finished reading the letter in his hand, he immediately called Tormund.
"Tormund, go and gather a hundred archers and a hundred footmen, and conscript some farmers to carry thirty days' worth of fodder to Deepwood Motte. Also bring a blacksmith and a tailor."
"Understood." After receiving the order, Tormund went to arrange the personnel.
Jack rode on Korakshuk to Deepwood Motte himself. Deepwood Motte was a nice place with plenty of wood.
Jack planned to use Deepwood Motte as a supply point and build a shipyard near the sea. With the timber from the Wolf Forest, shipbuilding would be more convenient.
Deepwood Motte is not far from Last Hearth, but the road is difficult to travel on. However, Korakshuu didn't have to walk at all and flew to Deepwood Motte quickly.
At this time, Deepwood Motte was full of busy figures, not only the captured Iron Men, but also the people of Deepwood Motte and the people of Kasar and Saigun.
They cut down nearby trees and gathered them together to light them. They were all soaked from fighting in the rain last night.
During the battle, I didn't feel very cold because I was constantly expending physical energy and secreting adrenaline.
But now that the war is over and things have calmed down, I feel the cold.
Korakshuu falling from the sky made everyone look sideways. They didn't expect there was a dragon bigger than Drogon.
Moreover, Korakshu's scarlet scales and slender body made them feel evil and weird, completely lacking the domineering aura of Drogon.
When they arrived at the hall of Deepwood Motte, Lady Glover was holding her daughter. Daenerys, Cass and Segun had all changed their clothes and were sitting in the hall.
When Jack came in, Daenerys immediately stepped forward to greet him and gently kissed Jack on the lips.
"Everyone, this is Jack Poseidon, my husband, the King of the Atlantis Sea, and the rightful owner of the Iron Throne." Daenerys took the initiative to introduce Jack.
Jack waved his hand gently to stop Mrs. Glover who was about to stand up and salute.
"Madam, since you are holding the child, you don't need to stand up and salute."
"Thank you, your heart is amazing," Mrs. Glover said.
"Are you Kasa?" Jack looked at Kasa, who was sitting on the right side of Saigon.
"Lord Poseidon, I am Kasa. You are younger than I thought." Kasa said.
Before Jack came, Daenerys briefly explained the current situation in the North, and they also learned that the North would soon become a province directly under the jurisdiction of the Atlantis Empire.
Although the North has not been completely pacified yet, in Kasa's opinion, this is a foregone conclusion. After all, Drogon's strength was fully demonstrated last night.
"Since everyone is here, I'll make it short. Kasa, you take 500 people and follow Saigon back to Hearth City, and the rest of you stay behind to guard the Ironmen.
In addition, I have arranged for 200 fully armed Children of Winter to come and assist Lady Glover in controlling Deepwood Motte and protecting her own safety.
At the same time, one month's rations were also delivered. Kasani needs to migrate your tribe to the vicinity of Deepwood Motte as soon as possible.
After everyone has migrated here, you will start cutting down trees in the Wolf Forest towards the northwest. Use the cut trees to build houses, and store the unused trees to prepare for the long nights in a few years.
Saigon, leave all your one-handed axes behind, and I will forge new ones for you when we get back."
The tribe of Kasa and others was basically out of food and ammunition, and they were living a tight life every day. It was impossible for Jack to support them for nothing.
At that time, all we need to do is provide them with a full meal a day and let them cut down trees towards the northwest coastline.
Once a passage had been cleared, Jack arranged for a road to be built and then a shipyard.
Some time ago, Atlantis also built a shipyard in Meereen.
But there is only slightly more wood in Meereen than in Neptune's Island, and there is still not enough wood suitable for shipbuilding.
The limitation of raw materials greatly reduced the shipbuilding efficiency of Atlantis, so Atlantis had to import wood from other places.
But the cost of imported wood is too high, and even with a large trade surplus it cannot be wasted like this.
So Jack wanted to build Atlantis' overseas shipyard in a place with abundant timber.
