Chapter 245 Poseidon
When Jack returned to the Iron Islands, the Iron Islands nobles who supported Euron were completely disheartened.
Euron fell. The man they had placed high hopes on fell in front of the dragon. His head was impaled on the halberd blade for public display.
Unlike this group of nobles, some lords who supported Asha were still ecstatic, not knowing that the reform was about to begin.
Asha Greyjoy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the head on Jack's halberd blade.
"Are you okay?" Asha went forward to check Jack's body. After finding that he was not injured, she continued to ask, "What's going on with the storm and the blue light column rising into the sky? What happened?"
Jack remained silent, stabbed the Poseidon Trident heavily into the ground, and turned to look at the sea.
The Unsullied stationed in King's Harbor seemed to sense something and began to rhythmically strike the ground with their spears.
Asha looked at the fanatical Unsullied, a look of doubt flashed between her brows, and then she also looked towards the sea.
Many nobles who chose to support Asha and followed Asha also looked towards the sea.
Just as they were wondering, the originally calm sea surface began to show layers of waves, and it seemed that some huge creature was swimming under the sea surface.
Before Asha could ask, a huge dorsal fin emitting a striking blue light appeared in everyone's sight.
Everyone's pupils suddenly shrank when seeing this scene. They have lived by the sea for many years and could naturally estimate how huge the body under the dorsal fin is.
Gulp—Asha swallowed.
"What is this?" she asked Jack with difficulty.
"You will soon know that the glory of the sea god will shine upon the world."
As Jack finished his words, Poseidon, which was slowly slowing down, also arrived at King's Port.
In order to prevent King's Port from being razed to the ground, Poseidon chose to land on a beach not far away.
"hold head high--!"
"When the first roar of the sea god appeared in Westeros, I knew that no one could stop your father's footsteps." This is what Asha often said to her daughter after she was born.
The height of more than 200 meters seemed to block out the sky and the sun, causing an indescribable shock to Asha.
Asha used to often curiously ask Daenerys why she voluntarily gave up the Iron Throne and married Jack, who only had one dragon, with three dragons.
Daenerys never told her, and she initially thought it was because Korak Hugh was a level stronger than the three Drogon brothers, but she still wondered if three dragons could not be better than one.
Now she finally knew why Daenerys would rather give up the Iron Throne and become Jack's legal wife.
Compared with an Iron Throne that rules Westeros and may be overthrown at any time, and an Imperial Queen who can take over two continents at any time, anyone with a sound mind knows what to choose.
Poseidon slowly bent down and stretched out his right hand. Looking at the hideous face so close to her, Asha was so frightened that she stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, Jack gently hugged Asha's tough waist and said, "Today, I will take you to experience the feeling of ruling the world."
Asha didn't react until Jack held her and she walked into Poseidon's palm. Just as she was about to say something, Poseidon came in person.
The perspective quickly rose, and Asha hugged Jack in panic.
"Don't panic, Poseidon is very gentle, of course, provided you don't make her angry."
Jack's voice came, and Asha slowly tried to look elsewhere.
Poseidon walked slowly towards Pike City. Jack wanted to take action to tell the people on Pike Island that in the face of an absolute gap, everything would be in vain.
The feeling of being in Poseidon's palm is completely different from being on the dragon's back.
When Poseidon arrived at Pike, there was a great panic in the city. The Iron Men fled in all directions, and screams of terror were heard one after another.
Fortunately, the Unsullied in the city had received orders long ago and quickly brought the unrest under control. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob was executed. The manpower cost of capturing them was too high, so it was more convenient to kill them directly.
Looking at the Iron Men fleeing in panic like ants under his feet, a sense of fear inexplicably surged in his heart, but of course, there was more of a sense of satisfaction in being the ruler of the world.
After Jack destroyed Euron's fleet, he began to speed up the elimination of hidden dangers within the Iron Islands.
At the same time, Jack ordered the nobles of every island in the Iron Islands, including barons and property-owning knights, to immediately respond with an oath of allegiance upon receiving a raven.
And you must reach Pike in the Iron Islands within a week, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
There are seven main islands in the Iron Islands, namely Pyke, Halfall with the largest population, Great Wyke with the richest iron ore, Old Wyke where the kingsmoot is held, Oak Island which was once the base of the Iron King of the Greyiron family, and a Black Tide Island.
Most of the nobles who received the ravens chose to reply and swear allegiance, but only a small number of minor nobles chose to go to Pyke Island.
Most of the nobles on other islands chose to wait and see, or simply refused to pledge allegiance.
They didn't know yet that Jack was clearing up Pike Island. It all happened so quickly that they had no idea of the current situation and were afraid that they would be wiped out if they went to Pike Island.
But Jack didn't care about all that. There was a war in the North, so Jack took advantage of the war to eliminate some old nobles.
But there has not been a major civil war in the Iron Islands yet, and he is worried that if these nobles come over obediently, there will be no excuse to eliminate them.
A week later, only a handful of barons and wealthy knights arrived on Pyke Island.
When they saw the giant dragon in the sky and Poseidon outside the city that looked like a mountain range, they began to be glad that they had come.
Jack did not treat these people badly. He absorbed them into the House of Lords and the Cabinet according to the model of the North.
They originally only managed one or more small villages, but they became the future top dignitaries of the Iron Islands in a daze.
Jack didn't know how grateful they would be for their choice today in the future. At this moment, he was already riding Koraxus and taking Poseidon to attack the other six islands.
When Poseidon appeared on the land of the remaining six islands, Jack did not give any chance to surrender to those nobles who refused to pledge allegiance and took a wait-and-see attitude.
Atomic breath and dragon fire ravaged the six islands, and many nobles were reduced to ashes before they even had a chance to react.
This purge lasted for half a month and caused a large number of civilian casualties.
Jack didn't care about it. The Iron People admired the strong, and being too nice to the Iron People would make them think Jack was weak, which would be detrimental to his subsequent ideological transformation.
Only by scaring the Iron Men will they honestly cooperate with Jack's subsequent work.
Because of the experience of reforming the North, the future framework of the Iron Islands was quickly completed, and Asha temporarily served as the Prince Governor.
The Iron Fleet was also stationed in Kingsport and did not move. They needed to assist Asha in managing the Iron Islands.
If the remnants of the old nobles rebel after Jack leaves, Asha can also command the Iron Fleet to quell the rebellion among the seven main islands of the Iron Islands.
