Chapter 252: Encirclement
As the waves hit, the merchant ships around the dock began to sway.
"What is that?" John Royce looked at Jack uneasily.
"What? Didn't I say that I would let Poseidon cure Duke Irene's illness?" Jack looked at John Royce.
As the waves grew bigger, a huge mountain appeared on the sea.
When John Royce saw it clearly, he realized that it was not a mountain at all, but a dorsal fin.
What creature's dorsal fin alone is so large?
John Royce couldn't figure it out, but he now understood where the roar he heard at the beginning came from.
But Poseidon's appearance this time was not so gentle.
She did not slow down at all when she was approaching the coast, and rushed directly to the shallows far away from Seagull Town with huge waves.
When Poseidon stood up with blue and white smoke all over his body, John Royce's brain was no longer able to think.
Not only him, but all the valley nobles present were in the same situation.
Until Jack's voice brought them back to reality again, "Now, kneel down and pray, and the sea god will heal all the suffering in the world!"
With a thud, as the first person fell to his knees due to weakness in his knees, the nobles began to kneel down one by one.
They could not understand the horror before them and ultimately could only attribute it to a miracle.
But they are different from the Ironmen of the Iron Islands. The Drowned God, whom the Ironmen originally believed in, was also one of the sea gods.
So when facing Poseidon, the Iron Men who believed in the supremacy of strength smoothly shifted their beliefs.
So the Iron Men will kneel from the bottom of their hearts.
However, these nobles in the valley only knelt down uncontrollably because of the fear brought by Poseidon. The two are fundamentally different.
Poseidon slowly came to Jack's side, and with every step he took, people could feel the ground shaking.
Many of the free people who had come to their senses had already started to run away, while the rest were so frightened that their legs became so weak that they could only kneel on the ground and beg the other party not to discover them.
At this time, young Robert Arryn was already terrified.
He was already mentally unstable and had lost the ability to think.
Most people had come to their senses, but he was still standing there with tears in his eyes.
Poseidon gently flipped his palm, and a ball of blue and white mist-like energy condensed, and then the energy ball flew towards Robert Arryn who was standing there in a daze.
The blue and white mist-like energy quickly merged into Robert Arryn's body.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Robert Arryn grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, his complexion became healthier and no longer as pale as before.
This is the terrifying nature of the power of faith. It is a panacea. There is almost nothing that the power of faith cannot do.
But for those who accept the power of faith, they can easily be "corrupted" by the power of faith and become fanatical believers of the sea god, especially those with weak wills.
For example, Robert Arryn in front of Jack, when he looked at Poseidon, there was no fear in his eyes, only fanatical admiration.
But this will waste a lot of power of faith. Generally speaking, it is a losing business to use it on ordinary people.
Otherwise, Jack could just let Poseidon arrange an "ascension" for everyone in Westeros and then he could directly rule Westeros.
Of course, Jack can control the top families of Westeros at all costs to achieve his goal of ruling Westeros.
But there are some families he must clean out, and therefore Westeros needs war.
For example, in the Riverlands and the Iron Islands today, a large number of nobles are being liquidated every day.
At this time, Yohn Royce also noticed that something was wrong with Robert Arryn and frowned, "What did you do to him?"
"Can't you see? I made him healthier. I gave you a healthy and intelligent lord."
"I mean the look in his eyes, his look is wrong!"
Yoan Royce couldn't accept Robert Arryn's current state. It was obviously the state of a fanatic!
Jack frowned, wondering if he had given Yoan Royce too much patience.
"Do I seem easy to talk to you? The Sea God saved him, and he worships and believes in the Sea God. What's the problem?
This is the last time I remind you. Now, take the nobles of the valley to the Blood Gate to join the Northern Army, or I will destroy the entire valley."
As Jack spoke, Poseidon released his atomic breath, slicing several distant mountains into pieces.
Now Poseidon's atomic breath has already undergone a qualitative change. The atomic breath in the growth stage is more like a blue high-temperature flame.
In adulthood, the atomic breath begins to transform into energy flow.
Although Poseidon's atomic breath is still an energy stream, its power is a level stronger.
Looking at the shredded mountains, John Royce's face was instantly covered with cold sweat.
In his understanding, Poseidon was a powerful creature worshipped as a god, an enhanced version of Korakshu.
But John Royce didn't expect Poseidon to be so powerful that he could tear a mountain apart so easily.
Jack knocked John Royce and turned towards the sea.
Poseidon roared at the nobles of the valley and turned into the sea.
After reuniting with Jack, Poseidon immediately began to dive and moved quickly towards Dorne. It was time for Prince Doran to send troops to take revenge.
Ever since the Iron Throne gathered the forces of the Westerlands, the Crownlands, and the Stormlands to go to war with the Reach, Dorne has not responded at all.
It seems that he does not want to get involved in the war in the north.
But in fact, if it were not for Prince Doran's forced suppression, Dorne would have been unable to hold back and would have sent troops to attack the Iron Throne.
Prince Doran is the real venomous snake. He is much more venomous and dangerous than Oberyn Martell, who is proficient in all kinds of poisons!
Jack didn't expect Dorne to be so patient and had no plans to send troops until now.
So he planned to take Poseidon to Yangji City in person to persuade Doran to send troops.
The battle in the North was in full swing, but Dorne, who had supported him in the first place, was sitting still to preserve his strength. How could this be possible?
If you don't go to war, won't that increase the difficulty of my subsequent reforms?
After Jack left, Korakshuu, which was hovering above Seagull Town, let out a dragon roar and flew away from Seagull Town.
Robert Arryn looked at the direction where Jack left with a fanatical look, and only turned back to look at John Royce and others after the sea became calm.
"Everyone, don't worry about me. I feel very good now. Pass on my order and gather all the forces in the valley to head to the Blood Gate!"
Robert Arryn's voice was sonorous and powerful, without any of the madness and weakness that he had before.
John Royce, Countess Waynwood and others looked at each other, unable to adapt for a moment.
Robert Arryn no longer had the fanatical expression he had just now, nor did he look morbid as before. He now looked very serious, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Finally, it was Yohan Royce who took the lead and said with his head down:
"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke, the Royce family will fight for you."
Seeing this, others also expressed their opinions.
At this point, Jack's purpose in inviting them to Seagull Town to swear allegiance was clear, which was to show them his strength.
However, this strength is not a powerful army, nor an invincible dragon, but it is like, no, it is a "sea god" with the power of gods!
John Royce felt a little uncomfortable.
He had a hunch that the Vale, or the entire Westeros, would become like the North in terms of operating mode.
Anyone who dares to obstruct Jack Poseidon will face a devastating blow from that "sea god".
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the Manderlay family in White Harbor in the North.
After the Mandalay family was moved inland, they went to Sujiang and established a shipbuilding company.
At first they didn't understand what a company meant, but when they learned that it was an organization of businessmen doing business, they almost laughed their heads off.
It is a disgrace that a dignified Northern Earl family is engaged in the shipbuilding business like those lowly merchants.
But now, he has to think about it carefully.
If the valley becomes like the North, should the Royce family open a maritime trading company or a shipbuilding company like the Mandalay family?
After all, Fushi City's shipbuilding technology is not bad. Perhaps, we can open two companies at the same time and then merge them?
