  Chapter 158: The Mountain Clan on the Verge of Extinction

Dark clouds suddenly began to cover the North. After months of drought, the North was finally about to experience its first rainstorm.

On the main branch of the towering tree, Drogon opened his throat slightly, and wisps of flame were brightly visible in the suddenly dark environment.

"Wait, stop your dragon and let me go. I can get people from other tribes to surrender!" Kasa said quickly.

Kasa is a very sensible person. For the mountain clans, nothing is more important than survival, especially for a shrewd person like Kasa, who understands the saying "he who knows the times is a hero" very well.

Seeing Kasar's statement, Drogon grabbed him and glided under the woods.

In the blink of an eye, Kasa was thrown to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with leaves, so Kasa did not suffer any serious external injuries.

As Drogon roared, a flash of lightning exploded from above his head, illuminating the originally dark forest.

"Stop, stop!" Kasa shouted loudly, but at this time Kasa had been separated from the main force and could only run forward while shouting.

Fortunately, Kasa's prestige was relatively high, and the wildling tribes and the Sen people were soon separated from the state of war.

"We surrender, we surrender!" Kasa shouted to Saigun, which stunned Saigun. He did not see the moment when Kasa was caught by the dragon.

At this moment, Drogon fell from the sky, and Saigon quickly led his men to surround Drogon, or to be more precise, to surround Dany.

If something happened to Dany and she was shot down by a hidden arrow, Jack would never forgive him.

All the mountain clans except Kasa looked at Drogon in shock, the terrifying beast seemed a little crowded among the trees.

At this time, Kasa put down the weapon in his hand, and asked others to put down their weapons as well, and then slowly walked towards Drogon.

"We can surrender to you, but you must accept 12,000 people, old and young, women and children, otherwise I can only return to the tribe. They can't survive without us."

At this time, Kasar had recovered from the shock of seeing the dragon for the first time. If Dany did not accept the old, the young, the women and the children, then they would never fight for Daenerys. He did not believe that Dany could find their tribal gathering place in the vast wolf forest.

"You have 12,000 people, young and old?" Saigon's face changed. In his opinion, the other party was simply fooling the queen and didn't understand the savages.

No matter what, the supplies in the Wolfwood are richer than those outside the Wall. Among Mance Rayder's 100,000 wildlings, 30% are capable of fighting.

The enemy now has about a thousand men, and even the spearwomen have been dispatched, which means that this is the maximum force they can mobilize.

From this perspective, Kasa was obviously lying. There were only three thousand people, young and old, behind them.

As if seeing through Saigon's confusion, Kasa Zhengneng quickly explained:

"The mountain clans of our Wolf Forest were all subordinate to the Stark family before, so we sent 3,000 wildlings to follow the Starks south, but most of them died in the first battle."

"And the Stark family promised to send some of us to Winter Haven every winter to spend the cold winter.

But now, Winterfell is occupied by the Bolton family, they can't help us. We asked them before, but were rejected. "

"That's why we plundered the troops near Wolfswood. We even tried to attack Deepwood Motte in preparation for the coming long night.

But it was already occupied by the Ironborn, and we had no siege equipment, so we had no choice but to give up. "

"Finally, on the way back, our scouts discovered your team.

As long as we get your equipment, we can exchange it for a lot of food, and we can also keep some axes to chop trees."

After hearing this, Daenerys and Segun roughly understood that the mountain clans surrendered to the Stark family, but were used as cannon fodder in the war and died in the first battle.

As a result, there are only one thousand main laborers left. The Stark family has been disbanded, and the Bolton family will naturally not allow the lowly wildlings to go to Winterhaus.

Then the rejected mountain clans tried to attack the undefended Deepwood Motte, but it was occupied by the ironborn again, and finally met the team led by Daenerys on their way back.

"My dear Dragon Knight, if Winter Haven doesn't accept us, we may not even survive the first three years of the Long Night. All the old people and children will be swallowed by the long night. Please help us."

Kasa looked at Daenerys with some hope, thinking that this woman looked young and should have a kind heart.

If the long night came and they did not send the "seeds" to the winter town, the mountain clans would definitely not survive the long night after the long summer that would last for a generation.

But Kasa is lucky, Daenerys's fate is different from that in the original book.

Because of Jack's intervention, Daenerys did not experience the Meereen Knot, nor was she forced to marry a slave owner, so the kindness in her heart was not eroded by the hegemonic power.

"Is what he said true?" Daenerys looked at Segun.

Saigon nodded. "In the past, we outside the Great Wall would end the war between tribes in advance during the long nights, and then start to store a large amount of food. But even so, we can only survive one tenth of it."

Dany frowned. The horror of the long night was far beyond her original prediction. Jack had told her that after the long night, the world's population would drop sharply to one-fifth of its current value, or even less.

At that time, she thought Jack was exaggerating. Dany felt that as long as the civilians worked hard to store food and warm supplies before winter came, the long nights would not be so terrible, it was just that there was no sun.

But Dany forgot that it was the Free Trade Coast after Jack's reforms and economic development.

Most of the world's civilians and slaves had to face increasingly severe exploitation from the nobles and slave owners before the long night came, and most of them died slowly after the long night came.

Dany exhaled heavily, as if she had made up her mind.

"You arrange for your people to take your tribe and migrate all of them to the vicinity of Deepwood Motte. I will capture Deepwood Motte and then ask Jack to help you. At least I won't let all of you die in the long night."

Dany bit her lower lip. She knew that some food was nothing to Jack.

While at Neptune Island, Newgate took her to visit the grain cultivation base behind Neptune City, where high-yield wheat was screened and cultivated every year.

She didn't understand any of the strange knowledge that Newgate talked about, but the wheat yield per acre they cultivated was 187 kilograms, more than twice the normal yield per acre.

But Dany knew that if she asked Jack for help, Jack would probably make some strange requests, but she wanted to help these mountain clans more.

At most, Jack would put her in some strange and shameful positions, but if she didn't beg Jack, this group of people would die in the long night to come.

"But you have to stay and take seven hundred men with you to fight for me, otherwise nothing can be discussed." Daenerys said finally. She couldn't let Jack torment her for these wildlings in vain.
