Chapter 167: Where is loyalty and honor in the face of interests?
"You three, if you are dissatisfied, you can just leave together and seek refuge with your most valuable Lord Bolton. But assassinating and betraying our information is wrong, right?"
"Someone, take them down, Zhu Jiu, cough, cough, take them down first."
Jack almost blurted out that if they really wanted to exterminate all nine clans, then considering the marriage relationships between the nobles in the North, they might as well just kill everyone.
Originally, Jack was planning to use the excuse of going out for a honeymoon with Lyanna to ambush three hundred axemen and chop the men into meat paste.
But Lyanna rejected Jack's proposal and said that even if Jack was very strong, he could not put himself in danger, so Jack changed his mind and chose to gather everyone to deal with Cassinoa and the other two on the spot.
As Cassinoa and the other two were controlled, several viscounts wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads unconsciously, thanking them for having rejected Cassinoa's solicitation.
The main military forces in Jack's hands now are the wildlings and two dragons. To be honest, these small nobles are not very important.
Jack had long been prepared for the betrayal of his nobles, because he knew very well that there was no loyalty or honor when it came to interests.
In particular, the reform of the tax system in the future will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some nobles, and it will have to be resolved by force at that time.
Just like the charming ancestor of the Ying family in Jack's previous life, he swept across the six kingdoms by force and then unified the writing system and weights and measures.
By November, the Unsullied will come to support from the Free Trade Coast and that will be the time for Jack to completely clean up and settle the North.
So after Jack captured Deepwood Motte and Kaho, he sent three thousand Sons of Winter to confront Roose Bolton near the End of the River.
The old man Roose Bolton was probably also trying to contact foreign aid everywhere, and Jack even heard that the Valley intended to fight northward.
In addition, although Moat Cailin is currently under the control of the Ironborn, Lord Wyman Manderly of White Harbor has defected to Roose Bolton and is willing to use White Harbor's fleet to transport the Frey army to the North.
But in the original book, Lord Wyman Manderly never forgot the kindness of the Stark family. After they fled from the River Reach, only the North accepted them.
But now neither Jack nor Bolton supports the Stark family becoming the Duke of the North, so Jack is not sure what Wyman Manderly is thinking now.
At this time, Cassinoa and the other two had been pushed to the square outside the castle, and Cassinoa kept cursing Jack and Lyanna.
But Korakhu, who was resting, had already come to Jack. As Korakhu roared, Cassinoa, who was originally spewing shit, seemed to be grabbed by the neck, and his voice stopped abruptly.
"Casinoa, Patrice, Jensen, in the name of the Sea King, I deprive you of your viscount titles and sentence you to treason and be swallowed alive by a giant dragon."
Then Korakxiu roared and quickly came to the three people.
"Jack, you will not die well. The Lord of the Iron Throne will tear you into pieces sooner or later. You and your dragon will go to the seven levels of hell and never be able to be reborn!"
Cassinoa looked at Korakshuu who was so close to him with horror. The scarlet scales and sharp teeth were clearly visible, and a wave of heat hit his face.
However, although Cassinoa's whole body was soft, his mouth was still hard.
There would be snow in the North during the long summer, especially in places like Hearth City, which were close to the Great Wall, where the temperature was very low.
At this time, Korakhu was covered in steam and looked much larger, but even so, Cassinoa was still insulting Jack.
But the next second he couldn't curse anymore, because Korakhuu had already taken half of his body into his mouth.
Then, fierce dragon flames spread out from the gap in Korakshu's mouth, and after Cassinoa screamed, there was no movement.
Koraxus swallowed Cassinoa into his stomach. At this time, the other two people had feces and urine flowing out of their crotches. They were so scared that they had incontinence.
Jack frowned. Korakshuu was his big son. How could he swallow such a mixture of feces and urine?
Korakshuu also looked at Jack. Obviously, he had the same idea as Jack. He couldn't swallow such a mixture of feces and urine.
"Dragon Flame!" Jack gave the order.
Then Korakshuu spewed out liquid dragon fire, instantly melting the two people.
This scene made other people's eyebrows jump, especially the unique dragon flame, which looked much more powerful than ordinary dragon flame.
And many nobles also realized that Jack was not as gentle as he seemed.
Before, they all thought that Jack was a gentle, elegant, humorous person who would not act superior in front of others.
And now they know that when Jack faces betrayal, he will also use cruel means to execute the betrayer instead of simply beheading him.
However, at this time, Jack's image in their minds began to be closer to the king.
Instead of the feeling as before, it was like facing a polite dragon knight boy.
After executing the three people, Jack called out the names of a few more people. The people whose names were called suddenly felt their anus tighten, and they didn't understand what they had done wrong.
But then Jack's words made them ecstatic, because they were the first to express their support for Lyanna, so they were named viscounts by Jack, and the territory of Cassinoa and the other two was rewarded to them.
Among them was Goodwin Holt. Jack fulfilled his promise and gave him the castle and title of Cassinoa. With these, Cassinoa's wife naturally could not escape.
After enthroning several people, Jack announced that he would marry Lyanna Mormont as his concubine, and this time no one raised any objections.
At the same time, Jack promised that as long as they followed him well, he would divide the Bolton family's territory among everyone after defeating Roose Bolton.
After making a big promise, Jack dismissed everyone, while keeping Lyanna, Hecarim, Tormund, Kaesar, and Saigun.
These talents are the real power that Jack can rely on. Although Jack has won over a wave of small nobles today, as long as Jack fails in the next war, most of them will choose to run away without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, are we not going to launch a decisive battle? Roose Bolton has more and more troops at his disposal. As long as he feels that he has accumulated enough strength, he will definitely launch a sudden attack."
Kasa's intuition is very sharp. After understanding the situation of both sides, he quickly realized that Jack needed to launch a decisive battle as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Roose Bolton, with the support of the Iron Throne and other nobles, would definitely be able to slowly wear Jack down.
The best way is to rely on the dragon's air combat capabilities, gather all the strength in hand, head straight to the Bolton's Dreadfort, and end the battle quickly.
"Don't worry, Kasar. Although Roose Bolton has the support of the Lannisters, I am not without foundation.
Five thousand Unsullied and three ships' loads of gold will arrive at Eastwatch in November. Roose Bolton wants to buy time, and so do I."
"Before that, what we have to do is to safely settle the 100,000 savages in the newly added land and ensure that nothing goes wrong in our rear.
Then, Deepwood Motte, Hearthtown, and Kaho will form a horn to defend Hearthtown, and the Three Thousand Sons of Winter can also put pressure on Roose Bolton at all times."
