Chapter 703
King's Landing consists of three hills, and the Red Keep is built on Aegon's High Hill by the sea.
Standing on the balcony of Red Keep Maegor's Holdfast, plus the height of the hills, you can almost overlook half of the King's Landing block.
At this moment, Cersei looked around, only to feel that the city that was once so familiar suddenly became unfamiliar.
There seems to be a city sand table in front of you, and a large bag of soybeans is poured up. Each soybean strip represents a mob, densely packed, layer upon layer, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
"Death to Blasphemer Cersei!"
"Blood For Blood, only whore Cersei's life is worth High Septon's life!"
The roar of the mob Like a tsunami, the tall and majestic Red Keep seems to have become a floating and sinking boat on the sea.
Every tsunami can overturn it.
For the first time, Cersei felt fear in civilians.
"You said that putting the blame on Wyrmrider will quell the outrage." She shrank, her pretty face twisted, and growled loudly at Euron.
Euron's eyes flashed several expressions, and he said helplessly: "I said, as long as you give the nobles a proper reason, they will definitely stop, and then your rule will be as stable as a mountain."
"Because King's rule has never been based on commoners, but nobility!"
Then, he changed his tone and said seriously: "Nobles have indeed been appeased, recently The Chancellor isn't bothering you anymore, is he?
But you still need the Church, and the new High Septon to crown you.
You need the commoners, too, and they need to be quiet.
Tens of thousands of people gather around the Red Keep every day to demonstrate - how dare you go out on horseback to hunt?
Are you still in the mood to listen to an opera by Archmaester Walgrave?
When you have a masquerade, the nobles will talk about what the mob outside the Red Keep did today, how can you still be happy?"
"But three years behind closed doors. It will kill me." Cersei looked at her husband pitifully.
“Stay in the tower for a month or two, and when the Church and the commoners’ anger over the death of High Sparrow fades away, you’ll be able to go wherever you want.”
"But..." Cersei was a little moved.
Euron added: "Anyway, High Sparrow is dead, Aegon is exiled, and Stannis has never been a threat. Your enemies are gone, it's not too short of time."
Cersei shook his head. , "Even if I am only absent for a month or two, the country will fall into chaos because of the loss of a wise leader?" You are the Heaven Supporting Pillar of Westeros, and you can't miss it for a day."
"It's better than this, I'll be your squire officer, just like eunuch Seneschal of the Eastern Kingdom, helping the Queen convey the decree to the ministers. "
"eunuch Seneschal?" Cersei was stunned.
Then Euron told Yi Ti God-Emperor to use eunuch to manage the palace, oneself happy and happy.
"This system is good!" Cersei said immediately.
"Just, will you be an eunuch..."
She looked at her husband's lower body with a hesitant expression.
Euron's face turned black, and he said in a muffled voice: "It's just a metaphor! Isn't our relationship closer than eunuch and King?"
Cersei heard this, but watched it vigilantly He glanced and thought: Even Jaime is unreliable, even more how you?
"The plan is good, but you are my husband after all, and you can't be an errand, so let..." Cersei slapped regretfully and shook his head: "If Qyburn is still alive, let him be This henchman is the most suitable, and now I can only let my cousin Daven try it."
Robb's head is what Qyburn pressed on The Mountain's neck, how could Arya let him go?
"Also." There was no strange expression on Euron's face, "Daven is a good guy, everyone says he looks a lot like the former Kevan Regent King!
With his master , I'll take my troops out to conquer Vale, so you can listen to operas and dance parties in Queen Dowager's Tower at ease!"
"Uncle Kevan..." Cersei's eyes became dark and deep, "Maybe Taena (ps) should be called."
...
Euron's idea is a good one, when such a stubborn, so cheap Queen Cersei "guilt" Edict", declared the Wyvern mercenary group to be wrongly believed in the accidental and tragic death of Saint Sparrow, and the people of King's Landing were shocked when three years of self-imposed confinement atonement, and then the demonstrators decreased day by day.
When Euron invited four old Septas to personally lock Queen Cersei into Queen Dowager's Tower, even the parade Sparrows gradually dispersed.
—Whore Queen Dowager has voluntarily fasted and prayed for three years, what more could they ask for?
Even those radical Warrior's Sons only clamored for a debt of blood must be paid in blood, calling on The Seven to arm the East and West Other Alliance.
That is, to launch a religious war, the Church Forces formed a volunteer army to support the Dragon Queen across the sea to fight the Allied heathen.
...
"The situation in King's Landing is not right now, the Lannister's power is fading and the Ironmen's power is rising rapidly!" Maester Pylos said solemnly.
Dragonstone, the control center of the Magic Power Tower, Dany sits in a large Weirwood armchair, opposite Marwyn, Pylos, Alleras and Gerold Dayne.
Bronn is visiting Dragonstone and Big Crab is stuck in the North and hasn't come back.
"Cersei's fake confinement is going to turn into a real one," Dany sighed.
"It's very possible." Marwyn nodded, "In the last battle of Blackwater Rush, a Golden Company of 10,000 casualties was nearly 40% injured, almost maimed; Dorne was even worse, with only 4,000 desert cavalry left. More than 1,200 people.
But Iron Throne is not feeling well either. There are only 5,000 exhausted soldiers left in 10,000 Lannisters. Coach Ser Daven broke his left leg.
Reach Less than 1,000 people were lost, and Euron's Ironmen heard that only 300 people died."
"This," Dany was stunned, "is it too obvious? Is Cersei a fool?"
“I heard that Cersei was involved in the formulation of the battle plan,” Maester Pylos said.
"Uh, what was she thinking?" Dany was completely speechless.
——In fact, the reason is very simple, Euron told Queen Cersei: This battle is to defend your Iron Throne, and the Reach army commanded by Randyll Tarly must not be the main force.
Cersei agreed with this statement and formulated a battle plan based on this policy.
In fact, the battle plan itself is not a problem, because Euron is right, the Reach army is impossible to kill for Lannister, and the Lion Family army must be the main force.
Otherwise, the Iron Throne's frontal battle collapses and the Ironmen's rear raids become a joke.
The key is when the Ironmen play.
According to the original plan, the Lion Family army resisted the Golden Company, making the war enter the most anxious and fierce state, and then Euron led the Ironmen along the Roseroad to raid the enemy's rear.
Euron let the Lion Family's army keep on top, and when it was about to be overwhelmed, he killed the army and swept the battlefield.
Therefore, as long as the teammates have bad intentions, the perfect battle plan will also have big flaws.
Like the War of Four Kings, Robb's tactics are both Heavenly Horse and mature and prudent, and his personal record is also superb, but Bolton has a different heart and keeps sending North people to send people off. The good situation is forcibly corrupted .
"What about the Allied Wyvern squad?" Dany asked again.
Marwyn said: "A Dragonrider and a Wyvern were killed in the Battle of Blackwater Rush, and Alleras shot a Wyrmrider.
Three Dragonriders were left on the same day after the murder of High Septon. Landed at Euron's camp in the afternoon, and was ambushed and annihilated."
"Golden Company shot a Wyvern?"
Alleras shook his head and said strangely: "Just now At the beginning, Cersei prepared a lot of Wildfire for the Wyrmrider to throw.
But Guild of Alchemists' Wildfire didn't have Tyrion oil to increase stability, and there was an accident, and they burned a Wyvern and a Dragonrider on the spot, and then they never again Dare to throw Wildfire bottles."
"What a pity, five Wyverns rushing all the way to Westeros and doing nothing, seems to be doing 'Dragonrider's Wicked Death' for the people of the Seven Kingdoms." Dany mouthed. twitch.
"Euron is too bold to tease the Allies like this." Marwyn exclaimed.
"Maybe he has a good eye and sees that the Queen will win." Alleras said with a smile.
"The responsibility may fall on Queen Dowager Cersei, who, after all, even owes Iron Bank what she owes," Pylos said.
Dany thought for a while, and said, "Euron killed a Thousand Man Squad in the New Ghis Iron Legion, and a fleet of more than ten ships.
The Ghis people are the main force of the Allies. One of them.
Compared with today's five Wyverns, he may have more lice than itching."
In short, Euron and Cersei's Top Grade pair is bold, Not at all worried about the Allies.
"That's right," Marwyn said about King's Landing's request, remembering about Myrcella, "Would you like to return Myrcella?"
"Don't, return to King's Landing, Myrcella is dead," Alleras said quickly.
Hei Mei and Myrcella both live in Great Pyramid and have been with Dragon Queen all the time.
Dany mused, "If Cersei sends two more letters asking for Myrcella, I'll consider sending her to Dragonstone. If not, just pretend you haven't contacted me."
Everyone nodded to promise.
Maester Pylos asked again: "Your Majesty, what arrangements do you have for the Great Sept of Baelor?"
"Why, Church has also written?" Dany said curiously.
"Well, Most Devout Matthew is asking if you'd like to serve as Seven Kingdoms High Septon, and Iron Throne is contacting the Oldtown Starry Sept's Most Devout and seems to want to intervene in the election for the new High Septon.
High Sparrow died in Wildfire in public, skeleton doesn't exist, even Mother can't revive it, but the Great Sept of Baelor lacks a strong leader to replace High Sparrow.
King's Landing Church lost its backbone, naturally people were alarmed, and some of the Most Devout thought of you." Pylos said.
"I have an idea," laughed Dany, "to create another position above High Septon, Pope.
I'll be number one for the Church of The Seven. On behalf of Pope.
Slaver's Bay and Westeros belong to two different Major Sect areas, each have a High Septon is responsible for helping Pope to take care of academic affairs."
"Pope?" The crowd murmured in shock , looked incredible.
“Your Majesty, if you rule the world, the Church of The Seven will inevitably become the mainstream religion in the world.
Compared to Lord of a Country, Pope, who holds the power of the world Church, has too much power. I'm afraid it will threaten the kingship!" Archmaester Marwyn advised.
"I have two questions," Dany raised his index finger. "First, is a High Septon like High Sparrow more good than bad for Seven Kingdoms, or more bad than good?"
"It depends on who is right," the Bull Neck Archmaester pondered. "To the nobles and the King, he committed a heinous crime, seriously violated the rights of the nobles, and provoked conflicts between the Church and the nobles.
But who It is also undeniable that High Sparrow is upright and honest, and Church's benefits are all used to help the poor people.
High Sparrow lives nothing!"
"So, the world needs High Sparrow People like that," Dany said.
"But you're King..." Marwyn scoffed.
——King is the representative of the nobility!
