Chapter 661
Time is like water, and soon another month has passed.
This month, the situation in Westeros has changed dramatically, and the battle situation in Slaver's Bay has gradually entered the highest tide.
Westeros first.
Tommen's death has no effect on Dany, whether Arya comes out, or Euron plans Iron Throne, who cares about her?
But King's death has had too much impact on the people of Seven Kingdoms and the political situation in Seven Kingdoms.
King's Landing is in a new wave of turmoil: Cersei is to be crowned the true Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, which High Sparrow won't allow.
To this day, Lannister's stealing of Baratheon's throne is like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
it is known Great Emperor Joffrey, Tommen, the lion in the garb of Baratheon, the offspring of Cersei and Jaime.
Also because Tommen is young, his political presence is relatively weak. The common people and nobles do not like Cersei, but they are also used to her rule of seeking death in various ways.
Therefore, the coronation of Cersei oneself as king in Game of Thrones is not entirely impossible.
——A few years ago she was the regent anyway, Tommen was Lannister anyway, the royal family was so bad anyway, Cersei being Queen didn't make the country worse...
Such notions are common among commoners and nobles.
Therefore, this time Cersei became king did not cause too much disturbance in King's Landing.
But Westeros has a custom, only the King who has been recognized by Church and put the crown on his head by High Septon himself is the real legitimate King.
If Dany takes Iron Throne, she must kneel to High Sparrow and High Sparrow puts the crown on her head.
Even Aegon the Conqueror knelt.
normally, King, Queen, Princess Prince, Seven Dukes, whenever they see High Septon in the Great Sept of Baelor, they all have to kneel and kiss his hand.
Dany couldn't stand it, so she gave oneself a High Septon identity - when faced with an unacceptable rule, either change it or abolish it; or change oneself and make oneself the rule beneficiaries.
Obviously, becoming a beneficiary is simpler and more effective.
But Cersei is an aboriginal in Ice and Fire World. He often kneels, and he is used to kneeling since he was a child.
She was happy to kneel under High Sparrow and let him put the lion crown on oneself's blond head.
However, she wants to kneel, but High Sparrow doesn't allow her to kneel - how can ordinary people be qualified to kneel?
Aegon wants to kneel too!
At that time, Tommen's identity was in doubt, and High Sparrow, who had just ascended the throne, was reluctant to crown him, or Cersei personally found him, armed with the restoration of the Holy See, and replaced High Sparrow to crown Tommen and exempt the royal family from millions of dollars. Golden Dragon Church Bank owes money.
Don't think that the coronation is simply finished by putting the crown on King's head. Why does King kneel to you?
Why did the royal family kneel to High Septon?
Do you really think they are cheap and like to kneel?
It's King!
Only one reason: Profitable!
High Septon represents The Seven, acknowledging and protecting the King's jurisprudence.
It is also the divine right of the king, and King is the man of destiny.
Under normal circumstances, if someone wants to rebel against Tommen, High Sparrow should stand up and call on the believers of The Seven to resist the rebels.
Even though Aegon seems to have a Saint Dany shadow behind it, Church has never opposed Tommen's rule - no public opposition, but the greatest support.
Because of Euron's madness, Priest Evil God; Cersei betrayed the teachings of The Seven and raised the monster (The Mountain). They should all be slaughtered by The Seven Septon.
Chinese people see the Western King kneeling down to Pope, laughing at them for not being as arbitrary as the Imperial Emperor.
I don't know that people in the West are also laughing: "The princes and generals have a good relationship with each other" in the social environment, how can King sleep peacefully while seeking death in tricks?
...
Cersei lost all her children (in her mind, Myrcella of Slaver's Bay was almost tortured to death by the Dragon Queen), there was nothing to fear.
Already known as Mad King III, now she can surpass the sages, crazier and more ruthless.
High Sparrow is a firm believer, and has recently been favored by Mother as The Seven Holy Son. He even died once.
To tell the truth, he quite misses the Heaven that cleans the body and mind, so he is purer and less afraid of death.
How can a woman who kills husbands, kills monarchs, is incest, blasphemes, raises devils, and engages in blood sacrifice (Euron's sin is also counted on her head) become King of the Seven Kingdoms?
The conflict between Church and the royal family is imminent.
......
Aegon's True Dragon Alliance.
At Sansa's request, Aegon changed strategy and decided to send a cavalry team to take down The Twins.
Two days away from The Twins when news of Tommen's death came, Tyrion, grieving the death of his nephew and guessing who the killer was, immediately advised Aegon to turn around and leave Walder Frey alone. .
"If Tommen dies, King's Landing must be chaotic, and Tommen is the last legitimate King of the Baratheon Dynasty.
You attack King's Landing at this time, and you must encounter minimal resistance." Tyrion vs Aegon persuaded.
When Aegon hesitated, Sansa said: "The Twins are just around the corner, it's only a few days away, anyway, we have dragons, so we can fight on both sides."
"Wyvern is not invincible As I said earlier, the enemy may be ambushing the Scorpion, or they may invite the Allied Wyrmrider to catch us.
We can't leave the group, we have to minimize the time we spend alone, and... ."
Looking at Sansa who looked unhappy, Tyrion hesitated.
—and taking The Twins is just the beginning, you have to ask for more, like Winterfell in close proximity, like Riverrun in Riverlands...
Yes She is no longer a lonely, dependent little girl in King's Landing, now she is his queen, Protector of the Vale, guardian of Robert Arryn, and Vale's tens of thousands of armies follow her lead.
She has Brienne by her side, and Brynden Blackfish.
She's full of wings.
Well, "Seven Kingdoms number one uncle" Edmure Tully isn't as bad as in "Game of Thrones" and wasn't played as a monkey by Jaime (ps). Although he offered Riverrun, he quietly released his uncle, Brynden Tully the Blackfish.
Brynden escaped by jumping into the river.
Later Sansa rehabilitated and married Aegon, and he defected.
Speaking of who is Brynden, who deserves a special introduction?
He is Catelyn's uncle, the most qualified person to inherit the position of Duke of Riverrun, the second grandfather of Robb and Sansa, the top five of the Seven Kingdoms, and the resume of "Knight of the Gate" , served as Young Wolf's military advisor, Southern Border Great Marshal...
Knight of the Gate is Vale's title, responsible for guarding the Vale entrance, often by Duke Arryn's most trusted person in charge.
With his help, Sansa was barely able to command the Vale nobles.
It was him that persuaded the nobles of the Riverlands to declare their surrender to King Aegon one after another.
He also served as King Aegon's Cavalry Commander and Military Advisor.
If there is no transcendent power, after Aegon marries Sansa, he needs contacts, generals, soldiers, and territories. The territory of Vale, Riverlands, and North is infinite.
His Iron Throne is basically stable, it doesn't really matter if Dorne and Dany aunt are willing to help.
...
In the King's study at the Gates of the Moon, Aegon rejects Tyrion's suggestion to go south to King's Landing immediately.
"The troops are divided into two groups, going north to The Twins and going south to King's Landing. Our attack on The Twins will not affect the operations of the South Route Army," he said.
"This was the previous plan, but now the situation has changed, we should abandon the slow approach of the army.
Directly one person and three horses, three thousand Vale cavalry out of Bloody Gate, two Thousands of Golden Company cavalry head north to King's Landing," explained Tyrion.
"There are 15,000 lions in King's Landing, and 10,000 Reach Knights are stationed outside the city. How can our 5,000 cavalry win?" Aegon asked.
"High Sparrow will help us, there are thousands of Church Forces in King's Landing. And I'm also a Lannister, so I can convince some of the defenders."
"Why High Sparrow will help us I am not Cersei, I will not allow Church to intercept tax revenue from the treasury, let alone Septon to seize the royal family's gardens, minerals and other property." Aegon said resolutely.
"You think my old sister can bear it? I dare to swear with my father's corpse, she will not bear it, can't bear Church's encroachment on the interests of the royal family, can't bear the humiliation Church once did to her, can't bear it High Sparrow refused to crown her.
High Sparrow helped us, not because of how much you liked, but because of the lesser evil.
You just want his money , but my old sister wants to kill him." Tyrion said helplessly.
"I don't believe that Cersei is that crazy. The Mother came, everyone saw it, and she dared to desecrate The Seven?" Aegon shook his head again and again.
Even he, a crooked nut who grew up in Rhoyne, now goes to Sept to pray every week. He is extremely devout. How dare Cersei dare to take the world?
A day later, at around two in the morning, Tyrion, Aegon, and Sansa quietly left Gates of the Moon and landed at Brynden Blackfish's camp on the second day when the morning light showed.
Well, Uncle Finger can think of inviting the Allies to ambush Aegon, and Tyrion has long thought that his response is to follow the big army, go out late at night, and at random times.
The army has crossbow machines, even if ten Wyverns chase after them, as long as they enter the range of their army's crossbow machine array, they will be victorious.
Attack The Twins is much harder than Aegon thought before, because Frey is not stupid and understands what oneself does, and what Queen Sansa outside the city will do with oneself, so they are all fighting for their lives, everyone is working hard die.
Without two Wyverns constantly smashing kerosene bombs, Brynden Blackfish's 3,000 Vale and Riverlands mixed army might not have been able to take The Twins.
It took them one day to break through the city gate, and two days to clear the 2000 defenders in the city.
When a thousand prisoners were taken to the school grounds outside the city, Sansa rode on "Lady"'s back and ruthlessly pronounced: "None of them are innocent with the blood of North soldiers on their hands."
Well, Lady is the name of her Striped Wyvern.
In the end, The Twins were bloodbathed, except for the elderly, children and women, even the groom could not escape, and about 5,000 people lost their heads.
More than 20 immediate family members of House Frey, more than 250 Frey collaterals, but no distinction between old and young women, only two newborn babies named "Dany" were spared, the remaining The next one was all hanged and fed to Wyvern.
Sansa forgave the baby, but not House Frey's child.
Is it cruel?
At least "kinder" than Robert and Tywin.
Aegon and Tyrion only frowned and didn't object.
——Just because of House Reyne's disrespect to Lannister, Tywin killed the entire Reyne family, and the singer instead wrote "Rain of Castamere" to praise this.
The people of Seven Kingdoms have nothing but awe for Tywin, but do not criticize him for being brutal.
Because he appreciates Tywin's very ruthless determination, Aerys specially invited him to come to King's Landing as prime minister... Later Tywin also gave him a song "Rain of Castamere" as their 20-year friendship testimony.
However, Frey wasn't exterminated, and Walder Frey wasn't dead either.
Frey has more than twenty direct descendants.
