Chapter 161: Deepwood Castle changes hands
The next morning, the sun tore through the dark clouds that had lasted all night.
In the open space in front of Deepwood Motte, four hundred and forty ironmen knelt on the ground.
A total of 129 ironmen were killed last night, and the rest all chose to surrender.
"Your Highness, how should these ironmen be dealt with? I suggest that they be killed in a pit to save food." Saigon said directly.
Killing all these captives is the most worry-free way, otherwise you have to provide food for these captives, which is a pure waste of food.
"No need to kill, keep these ironmen alive, and when Asha Greyjoy comes back, we can still use this group of ironmen to win her over." Daenerys rejected Saigon's proposal.
The forest clans, trunk clans, branch clans and tree clans near Deepwood Motte are loyal to the Glover family, and they are also the fiefdoms of the Glover family.
These four clans have established villages near Deepwood Motte. Although they are still clans, they have gradually moved away from the hunting life.
After Deepwood Motte was captured, the four major clans also tried to rescue it, but most of the men followed Robb to the south to fight.
This indirectly led to the fact that they not only failed to recapture Deepwood Motte, but were robbed by the iron race of Deepwood Motte, 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.
Lady Glover was very grateful. Since her man left, the steward of Deepwood Motte became the real owner of the castle, and the mother and daughter were imprisoned in the castle.
Later, Asha Greyjoy took a thousand people 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 Sea Dragon Cape and the Stone Coast for Deepwood Motte.
Asha readily agreed and was ready to use this as an 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 hesitation.
Daenerys then asked Kasar to arrange people to take care of the Ironborn and arrange these captives to repair the castle and clean up.
At the same time, she asked Kasar to move all their tribes to the vicinity of Deepwood Motte and build a town with Deepwood Motte as the center.
After arranging these, Daenerys wrote another letter to Jack in Hearth Castle, informing Jack that Deepwood Motte had been taken.
The raven quickly delivered the letter to Jack.
Finally Hearth Castle.
After Jack finished reading the letter in his hand, he immediately called Tormund.
"Tormund, you go and gather 100 archers and 100 infantrymen, and then recruit some farmers to transport 30 days of food and grass to Deepwood Motte, and bring a blacksmith and a tailor."
"Understood." Tormund went to arrange the manpower after receiving the order.
Jack rode on Korakshu to Deepwood Motte, which was a nice place with a lot of wood.
Jack planned to use Deepwood Motte as a supply point and build a shipyard near the sea. With the wood from the Wolf Forest, shipbuilding would be more convenient.
Deepwood Motte was not far from the Last Hearth, but the road was difficult to walk on. However, Korakshu did not need to walk at all and flew to Deepwood Motte soon.
At this time, Deepwood Motte was full of busy figures, not only the captured Ironborn, but also the people of Deepwood Motte and the people of Kasar and Saigon.
They cut down the nearby trees and collected them to light them. They were all soaked by fighting in the rain last night.
During the battle, they did not feel very cold because of the constant consumption of physical strength and adrenaline secretion.
But now that the battle was over, they felt the cold after calming down.
Korakshu, who fell from the sky, made everyone look sideways. They did not expect that there was a dragon bigger than Drogon.
And the scarlet scales and slender body of Korakshu made them feel evil and weird, and there was no domineering power like Drogon.
When they arrived at the hall of Deepwood Moor, Mrs. Glover was holding her daughter. Daenerys, Kasar, and Segun had all changed their clothes and sat in the hall.
When Jack came in, Daenerys immediately went forward to greet him and gently kissed Jack on the lips.
"Everyone, this is Jack Poseidon, my husband, the Sea King of Atlantis, and the legal owner of the Iron Throne." Daenerys took the initiative to introduce Jack.
Jack waved his hand gently to stop Mrs. Glover who wanted to stand up and salute.
"Madam, you don't have to stand up and salute since you are holding your child."
"Thank you, your heart is amazing." Mrs. Glover said.
"Are you Kasar?" Jack looked at Kasar, who was sitting on the right side of Segun.
"Lord Sea King, I am Kasar, you are younger than I thought." Kasar said.
Before Jack came, Daenerys briefly talked about the current situation in the North, and they also knew that the North would soon become a province directly under 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 will make a long story short. Kasa, you take 500 people and follow Saigon back to Hearth City, and the rest of you stay to guard the Ironborn.
In addition, I have arranged 200 fully armed winter sons to come and assist Lady Glover in controlling Deepwood Motte and protecting her own safety.
At the same time, a month's worth of food was also delivered. Kassan needs to move your tribe to the vicinity of Deepwood Motte as soon as possible.
After everyone has moved here, you will start to cut down trees in the Wolf Forest in the northwest direction. The cut trees will be used to build houses, and the unused trees will be stored to deal with the long night in a few years.
Segun, leave all the one-handed axes under your command. I will make new ones for you when I go back. "
Kasa and others' tribes are basically out of ammunition and food, and they live a tight life every day. Jack naturally can't support them for nothing.
At that time, he only needs to provide them with a full meal a day and let them cut wood towards the northwest coastline.
After cutting out a passage, Jack will arrange people to build a road and then build a shipyard.
Some time ago, Atlantis also built a shipyard in Meereen.
But the wood in Meereen is only a little more than that in Neptune Island, and the wood suitable for shipbuilding is still not enough.
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, even if there is a large trade surplus, it cannot be wasted like this.
So Jack wanted to build Atlantis' overseas shipyard in a place with abundant wood.
