Chapter 198: Reshuffle of power in the North

Dragon flames fell from the sky, and the hundred or so fully armored knights were completely wiped out in just a few tens of seconds.

After clearing this suspicious hundred-man team, Jack continued to search for suspicious people on the battlefield. Anyone who was targeted by Jack would never survive.

As for whether the person targeted was Roose Bolton, Jack didn't care. As long as he announced to the public that Roose Bolton was dead, then Roose Bolton was dead.

So many charred corpses, any one of them could be Roose Bolton himself.

The war lasted all night.

Overnight, the situation changed drastically. The main force of the family led by Roose Bolton was caught and defeated when retreating at night.

The army of 10,000 people was all dispersed, and some fled back to the Dreadfort, but were horrified to find that the Dreadfort had replaced the flag of Atlantis.

The next day, Daenerys rode Drogon to support the city of Kaho. Kerby, who attacked the city of Kaho, did not choose to fight to the end, but chose to surrender wisely.

Since the main force of Bolton has been defeated, there is no point in his resistance.

Kelby was temporarily detained in Kaho City, and the other nobles were also detained, and the farmers were repatriated.

After all, Kaho City did not have extra food to feed them, and their staying in Kaho City had no purpose except wasting food.

The farmers who were previously put into the city also returned to their homes. Due to the previous wall-building and clearing of the fields, their houses and farmlands needed to be rebuilt and reclaimed.

Fortunately, their lord has now been replaced by Jack. After Jack completely clears the remaining forces of the Bolton family, he will help them rebuild their homes.

With the defeat of the three armies of the Bolton family, a large number of nobles were captured, and the North finally fell into Jack's hands.

At the same time, the North is now extremely weak and almost completely crippled. Perhaps the only one who has retained some power is the Manderly family in White Harbor.

After two wars in the North, most of the noble families can no longer afford the ransom.

In response, Jack gathered all the captured nobles.

"Your family has sent a letter. In short, your family no longer has enough gold dragons to pay the ransom, and you should know this situation yourself."

"Now, I give you two choices. The first choice is to surrender. I will let you go back, but you must declare to the public that you have surrendered to me after you go back."

"The second choice is very simple. Die under the dragon flame and save your reputation, but your castle and wife will be awarded to my heroes."

"Now, choose."

Jack's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

"Hiss--" A roar came from a distance.

In just a few breaths, Korakxiu fell from the sky, and the strong wind made everyone unable to open their eyes.

Korakxiu spread his wings and roared again.

Someone among the crowd immediately knelt on one knee to express his surrender.

As the first person knelt to express his surrender, it was like a chain reaction, and the rest of the people chose to kneel down and surrender.

In the end, only three people were left. They were Roose Bolton's diehards and they worshipped him crazily.

They firmly believed that Roose Bolton was not dead yet, and sooner or later, he would return to the North with the army of the Iron Throne.

For such diehards, Jack was too lazy to talk nonsense. It was difficult to persuade such people to surrender, not to mention that they were not talented.

So Jack directly executed them with dragon flames. They had no money to pay the ransom and were unwilling to surrender. Could it be that he was waiting for them to rebel?

After this batch of captives was released, they returned to their families and declared to the outside world that they surrendered to the Poseidon family and Atlantis.

So far, the North has surrendered to Jack on the surface, but Jack is not sure how many families really surrendered.

And Jack doesn't care whether they surrender sincerely or not. As long as Jack's fist is big enough, he will reform the North sooner or later, making them unable to resist and completely abolishing their power.

Winterfell and Dreadfort are now controlled by Jack, and a considerable part of the territory is vacant because the lord died in battle.

Jack awarded these lands to the brave Sons of Winter and promoted a group of wildling generals.

In this way, after two or three generations, there will be no wildlings outside the Wall, and only citizens of the North will remain.

Then the territory of the Bolton family was awarded to the Mormont family, and the Winterfell and territory of the Stark family were temporarily ruled by Jack.

There are two major duke families in the North today, and the territories of the two duke families are adjacent and at the same latitude.

The nobles in the North can already imagine how fierce the competition between the two families will be in the future if the Stark family still has an heir.

All the nobles thought that this was a decision made by Jack to balance the power of the North and restrict the Stark family.

Little did they know that all this was just a transition. Jack's ultimate goal was to complete centralization and enthrone his heirs as princes of the North.

By then, the Mormont family, the mother's family of the Northern Prince, will be able to hold their own even against the old nobles, the Starks.

Only then will there be a true balance.
