Chapter 910
The main belief of the Ironmen is the Drowned God, they believe that the Drowned God dwells in the Watery Halls, brings fire from the sea, and carries fire and swords across the world's oceans.
In the teachings of the Drowned God, the Drowned God created the Ironmen and taught them to follow the Old Way: to plunder instead of birth, and to write oneself's life in blood, fire and song.
That is, rape and pillage, burning, killing and robbing, commiting any imaginable misdeed, and doing nothing good.
A very inhuman, anti-social religion.
Storm God is the eternal enemy of the Drowned God, dwelling in halls in the clouds, and the crow is his servant.
Compared to the Drowned God, Storm God's teachings are more apostate: He will lead believers astray and lead to self-destruction.
......
Euron Crow's Eye has never seen Others.
When the Wildlings attacked Wall, he didn't take part; he didn't take part in the Battle of Winterfell.
He knew there were Others beyond the wall a long time ago, knew about Long Night nears, and knew that Others would take the world into the cold and dark abyss like in the story of Old Nan.
But Knowing that, he and the Ironmen had no direct impression of the Others.
So, they're tragic...
Euron Crow's Eye was actually pretty content when he first left King's Landing because he fought the King's Landing war It was so brilliant that it almost played Stannis with applause.
He voluntarily abandoned city gate, inflicted heavy casualties on Stannis' troops in street fighting, and even shot three Wyverns.
Afterwards, he disguised the soldiers as deserters, evacuated King's Landing in one piece, and blew up the Red Keep, almost making Stannis busy.
——No one wants to steal his things!
Before he bombed the Red Keep, he knew it would anger Stannis, so he set up an ambush one last time before leaving King's Landing.
If Second Stag is still normal, he has already been killed by his Scorpion.
Unfortunately, the resurrection has rotted the streets in this era of seeing Others.
Euron has reason to be happy though, everything he did at King's Landing greatly pleased Storm God.
Spiritual God blessed him.
Not only has the magic power that was previously abolished by Saint Matthew restored to its original state, but after sacrificing Red Keep, Iron Throne and King's Landing, he has also taken a big step forward, just a little bit, he can become Half God Storm God priest.
Well, Euron Crow's Eye sniping Second Stag's soldiers in the streets, shooting Wyvern, and finally setting fire to King's Landing and Wildfire to blow up Red Keep are not just venting.
He's holding the greatest sacrificial ceremony of destruction, destruction, and death, both Storm God and Drowned God.
It's just that what he sacrificed was not the Drowned God, but the Storm God.
As Crow's Eye did at Shield Islands, at Highgarden, he pleased Storm God, who gave him power and diving technique.
And Euron didn't leave King's Landing empty-handed.
After the Vale princes betrayed him, Crow's Eye knew that King's Landing would eventually fall - the city wall couldn't stop the Wyvern in the air.
Therefore, the wealth of King's Landing has long been transferred to Reach.
The carriage from Reach brought food, and the carriage from King's Landing back to Highgarden was loaded with gold and jewels.
There are still a lot of them, more than three million Golden Dragons, all of which are exchanged for Reach food.
Iron Throne brought grain from Highgarden to King's Landing, not to distribute it to the people for free, but to stabilize the market with cheap grain, giving the people hope and preventing them from rioting.
Euron himself doesn't care about gold, but the Ironmen love gold, and with this money, even if he leaves King's Landing, he can still keep the Ironmen in his hands.
It's not just the Ironmen, who holds a key to the throne of the King of the Reach.
Margaery Tyrell!
Little Rose is not dead, and has been living in Maidenvault, under the care of Mother Church, and is treated almost the same as Cersei.
Euron picks up Margaery from Maidenvault before the Second Stag takes King's Landing, and when he destroys Cersei and walks back to Highgarden, he marries her.
Reach is the wealthiest, most powerful and most populous kingdom in the Seven Kingdoms, enough for King Euron to toss around!
With Ironmen's support, Highgarden's food, and the Reach Throne's backing, Euron felt that even if Others swept the Seven Kingdoms, oneself could sit on the Shield Islands and watch the Seven Kingdoms changeable situation.
Just like what his ex-wife planned back then, let the heroes go and fight the Others, and when they bleed, when the Others suffer from both sides of the hero, he shines with his preserved power debut.
Euron left King's Landing happily with a good vision for the future.
He then saw the living dead for the first time on the side of Mander, 400 kilometers northeast of Highgarden.
Recently half a month, especially in the past two days, a total of hundreds of thousands and millions of Wights rushed out of the Westerlands, and the Ironmen just hit one of the hundreds of thousands in the wild. of the Wights team.
For Dragon Queen and the Westerlands Volunteers, only 100,000 Wights, they have become accustomed to it, and there are not even more than 100,000 Wights gathered, they will not rush over to stop them.
But for the first time in his life, Ironmen saw dead people on this scale.
From King's Landing to Highgarden, they walked half a month along the Mander, and encountered small-scale dead people wandering outside the city, in the cemetery, and in the village, but faced the large army. Ironmen, both of them voluntarily a strategic withdrawal.
One hundred thousand Wights, running on the snow like a flood of breakthrough dikes.
Ironmen rode their horses and carriage along the frozen river, out of a serpentine array. In the face of incoming enemies, they are defenseless.
But the Ironmen were also brave, and at first, they didn't flee in a panic.
"The dead don't die!" They put down the leather bags carrying the Golden Dragon behind their backs, pulled out the iron swords around their waists, shouted slogans, and greeted them.
Then, Euron's bodyguard Robert Strong's eyes lit up, suddenly turned against the water, and killed the Ironmen beside him.
Without waiting for the Ironmen to react, the corpses flooded in, fight at close quarters, and the living lost one's head out of fear and shouted "The Seven is above", "Blessed by Mother", and "Blessed by Drowned God" , "Seven Hells", "Help" and the like, eventually overwhelmed by corpses.
Not even the slightest splash.
Dany saw this scene when he was chasing the Wights army to Mander's side...the scene of washing his feet with water to wash away rat shit.
The so-called corpse tide is nothing but a rabbit that she chases and kills.
The Ironmen, on the other hand, were a string of mouse droppings on the stone steps in front of the hall, which was suddenly submerged by the splash of foot-washing water.
But the pooping rat wasn't washed away by the water, he was still struggling.
Euron can't walk, of course, he has a gorgeous and spacious dog sled.
Euron felt the cold worsen before the corpse swarmed, and his sled dogs sensed danger ahead. When the corpse tide appears in the field of vision, they have the opportunity to turn around and flee.
In addition to Euron, there are dozens of sleigh cars and hundreds of short-legged knights.
Looking down from the sky, the scene at this time is a bit funny.
The vast and flat Reach snowfield, the remnants of Euron in front, the scattered Wights group in the middle, and the Dragon Queen chasing behind.
Euron snakeskin moves to avoid the pursuit of the dense Wights group.
Wights tracked the breath of the living, all approaching Euron, and the formation became more and more dense.
And Dragon Queen's tornado has an attack range of 20 to 30 meters. Wights run away. She can only choose to chase the most dense Wights team of Killing Formation type and let go of Wights fleeing in all directions.
Perhaps the Others, who control Wights, also noticed this, and deliberately left one team to break, and the rest scattered and retreated.
Since they have decided to give up their lives, they don't mind killing the living person (Euron) in front of them, so they chase after Euron more and more urgently.
In this way, the tornadoes of Euron, Wights, and Dragon Queen are all walking out of the "S"-shaped curve in the snow.
At first, the distance was a bit far, the sky was dark and dark, and the visibility was low. The Ironmen didn't see the tornado a few kilometers away, and Euron was running away, standing on the sleigh, with his arms outstretched, facing the blow A gust of wind on the face, a loud prayer to Storm God.
Mysterious, powerful incantation wafts in the wind, and all the Ironmen around see him in awe and anticipation.
King Euron is the priest of Storm God, he has shown Divine Vestige of Storm God countless times, Ironmen have seen it, and many people even converted to Storm God because of this.
They expect the Divine Vestige to come back.
King Euron is also confident that oneself will survive this time.
In the years before today, he also encountered many dangers, and every time he prayed, he could get the help of Spiritual God.
Using the most popular saying in Seven Kingdoms today, he King Euron is the Holy Son of Storm God, the same level as Saint Dany and Saint Second Stag, all god's child!
Of course, blood sacrifice must be used to repay Spiritual God's efforts afterwards. But King Euron didn't care, it wasn't him who was sacrificed anyway.
Gradually, the wind picked up.
The storm gathers over King Euron's head, and the will of Storm God descends upon the earth.
But this time, Storm God didn't give King Euron any guidance and blessings, instead he laughed loudly: "Euron, my favorite believer, this is your destiny!
Please please me one last time and satisfy me and make me laugh with your oneself's pathetic, funny, unexpected, tragic and desperate way of dying!"
"No, Storm God, my destiny It shouldn't end here." Euron shouted loudly, his face gradually grim.
"Hahaha!" Storm God laughed. "On the sea you sacrificed your passengers and crew to me, and on the earth you offered me death, blood, and wailing lamentations.
blood sacrifice Highgarden Tyrell that time, especially made me extremely satisfied, it was the happiest time in thousands of years, second only to you dedicated King's Landing and Iron Throne to me..."
Storm God smashed his mouth, and seemed to have endless wonderful aftertaste in his mouth, "King has King's Blood, and the kingdom also has Kingdom's Blood. Compared with Kingdom's Blood, King's Blood is just leftovers.
Before R'hllor, let me taste Kingdom's Blood from my ancestral land, Euron, you are indeed my favorite believer."
"Your Majesty, I can even sacrifice more for you. Much!" Euron cried.
"From the sea to the land, from ordinary merchants to the nobles, from ordinary nobles to the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms, from the Duke of a country to the King of the Seven Kingdoms, Euron, my Holy Son, you have reached life The Peak.
Now, it's your turn, and your oneself is the final sacrifice." Storm God's tone became bizarre and greedy.
"No, you just gave me divide power, and I'm going to become a Half God. I'm going to sit and watch the Seven Kingdoms changeable situation, wait for the opportunity, it will rise again, and its momentum will be even stronger." Euron said angrily.
“hehehe, I’m watching to see how you survived today...” Storm God laughed.
Euron's struggles and resistance at this time are already pleasing him.
Luring the Ironborn to the destruction of oneself is the core teaching of Storm God, just as justice is to the Father and mercy is to the Mother.
This is the unique nature of Storm God, divinity!
If the Ironmen and the Iron Islands are separated into a world, then the Drowned God is the God of the Ironborn, and the Storm God is the Satan who tempted the Ironborn to depravity and destruction.
Those who believe in Satan will eventually fall into Hell.
