Chapter 0523 - Unprecedented prestige
() (Add more to the tip of the imam.) )
The fanaticism of the cultists of the Sparrow is no less than that of the Star Warriors and the Knights of the Holy Sword.
Believers are predominantly poor.
The poor have always been in a bad mood, and the sparrow provides them with an outlet to vent their inner dissatisfaction and support them.
This led them to mix their gratitude with faith, which they regarded as the children of the Seven Gods of Truth. Although, the Seven Gods never answered the prayers of the poor.
When the bell rang, it was the people of the city who heard it.
The ringing of the holy bell in the middle of the night is extraordinary in itself.
The people of the Seven Kingdoms knew that the holy bell did not dare to ring it easily.
The people of the city had an army, a nobleman, a rich merchant, a mercenary, and of course the poor.
The poor people spontaneously rallied in solidarity with the Sparrow and his Order.
The nobles and the wealthy also spontaneously rallied to their aid to the noble legions of their rank.
Just as both sides were gathering and clashes were about to erupt, the sound of horses' hooves exploded on King's Road.
The garrison had finished assembling and set out from the Red Fort at Aegon Hill and rushed to King's Road.
The cavalry in front and the infantry in the rear, rushed to the Basilica of Baylor.
The royal legions appeared, and the golden-robed men held torches in their hands and swords held high, as bright as a forest.
The roar of horses' hooves and the roaring march of infantry gave courage to the nobles and riches, and in the streets, the private armies gathered by the magnates raised their swords and forced them into the streets.
Ben Ronte Blonn rode his horse and saw the ominous atmosphere in the streets.
The guards of the powerful are flashing their swords, and the poor are gathering.
Commander-in-Chief Ben Longt didn't want to make a fuss, but his heart was on the side of the nobles, and he decided to use suspicious tactics, most of these poor believers had no opinions, and they dared to gather mainly because of one person: the Sparrow.
Ben Long shouted: "The Sparrow has been decapitated, the Star Warriors and the Knights of the Holy Sword have been basically annihilated, the people of the kingdom, please disperse, the Prime Minister has an order, no free people are allowed to assemble in the middle of the night, otherwise they will be killed." ”
As long as the news of the death of the sparrow is spread, these foolish believers will inevitably be in chaos, and they will lose their backbone. Once a spiritual leader falls, their spirit will soon fall as well.
There are many mercenaries, free riders, and guards gathered by the magnates, and the number of people is still increasing, and the speed of the assembly on the opposite side is also getting faster, in a short time, thousands of people have been gathered.
None of the people in the streets knew what was going on at the Baelor Chapel, and when they heard that the Sparrow had been beheaded, the faithful were filled with confusion, frustration, and helplessness, while the guards and mercenaries of the magnates were overjoyed and their morale was high.
The Star Warriors and Knights of the Holy Sword did something that all the nobles and the rich hated very much, that is, whenever a poor person accused a rich man of guilt, that person would be 'admonished' by the Star Warriors, and this exhortation could range from donations and apologies to beatings and mutilations.
Even the queen and the queen mother dared to arrest them, and it was only natural that the people under them did not take the nobles and rich people in their eyes, and they had no sense of awe.
This kind of thing has the advantage of being supported by the poor, and it also has the disadvantage of making all the rich and powerful hate the sparrow and his armament.
In the middle of the night tonight, the holy bell rang, and the royal family launched a surprise battle, and the opportunity came.
However, Ben Lunte, the commander of the garrison who came to the streets, did not allow the two sides to fight.
The garrison regiment quickly passed through King's Street.
The private armies of the magnates, who had reined in a little in front of Benlunt, suddenly launched a surprise attack on the poor believers who had gathered in the streets.
The battle broke out suddenly, and the poor believers, most of them bare-handed, fell. However, more poor people joined the warband.
There were many wealthy people in King's Landing, and the governors, archdukes, princes and nobles on the other side of the Narrow Sea all had their own houses and properties in King's Landing, and they all had their own personal guards around them, most of them were a whole army of mercenaries and family knights, and the few were also a few knights and squires.
These people were all powerful people, and many of them were not familiar with each other, but whenever there was a war against the poor, they naturally gathered closely.
Fighting broke out in the streets suddenly, and the fighting was very fierce.
The poor believers fell one after another, and after a brief panic, the poor believers began to fight back, and they did not retreat.
Believers believe that the other person will do it first, which gives them solidarity with their common hatred.
Solidarity is definitely a strength.
As the number of poor people grew, the personal guards of the elite began to feel the strain.
Suddenly, the gates of the Red Keep opened again, and more horses' hooves roared, and more infantry ran like a torrential downpour.
Three thousand knights and the knights' guards rushed out, and the cavalry numbered at least five hundred, and the elite infantry numbered more than two thousand, in a row of four, in a long array.
Galan Tyrell rushed to the front with the family's most elite knights.
They rushed to the streets of the King's Road and saw warriors in armor and poor people in ragged clothes fighting in the streets.
So, the team jumped headlong into it.
The Tyrells hated the poor for arming.
Hundreds of elite knights charged, slaughtering among the poor who had 'no swords, weapons, and armor protection', cutting melons and vegetables. The battle immediately became a one-sided situation. Soon, the poor believers on the streets of King's Road were crushed, scattered, and fled in all directions.
Although there are many poor people in flea nests, a considerable number of these poor people work as hooligans and dock handymen, and relatively few believe in hemp finches.
The hooligans of King's Landing, ten out of ten ** come from flea nests. And the hooligans of the flea nest were all united by Bernick Rigane. When the people of the flea nest came out of their homes, there were hooligans they knew standing at the door, who had grown up here and knew each other well, some of them still related to each other. And most of these hooligans also have an impressive new identity, a star warrior who helps others.
As a result, the believers in the flea nest were not able to gather together in the first place to form a force of resistance.
Hundreds of hooligan brothers effectively delayed the reaction of the flea nest believers.
When Bernie exterminated the Star Warriors, hundreds of thugs gathered with Bernie as Star Warriors, and the combined team was half a street long, making the people of the flea nest even more fearful.
The poor are more afraid of hooligans!
By the time the flea nest believers had come out of their homes and gathered in twos and threes, Bernie had already led the team to Silent Sisters Street. And Galántillir and his cavalry are also slashing and slashing on the streets of the Silent Sisters.
Bernie slapped his horse forward and blocked Garland.
"Sir Garland, don't slaughter innocents, it's time for you to go to the Basilica to retrieve Queen Margaery. ”
"These people are Star Warriors. ”
"They are not Star Warriors, they are believers in the Seven Gods. I also believe in the seven gods, and you also believe in the seven gods, and we are no different from them. “
"We believe in the Seven Gods, but they believe in the Sparrow. ”
"The Sparrow is dead, and they will no longer believe in Him. The sparrow was abandoned by the Seven Gods, and they will understand. You see, among my brothers, they are the true warriors of the stars who have joined the assembly of the poor, but they know right from wrong, and know that they believe in the Seven Gods, not the evil Sparrows. These believers, there will be a new archbishop to teach them, to give the lost lambs a way to live, sir. Bernie said.
Garland heeds Bernie's persuasion, and his first task is to protect Margaery.
"Lord Bernie, Duke of Magic Mountain launched a surprise attack?"
"Yes, for the Queen Mother and Queen!" Bernie said in a slogan.
"Queen Margaery, Ann?"
"Very safe!" said Bernie, who only knew the plan for the raid, as if he had seen Queen Margaery get out of danger.
The 3,000 men of the House of Tyrion, hundreds of Bernie's rogue warriors, and 500 naval warriors, formed a force of more than 4,000 men, and they marched towards the Great Sanctuary of Baylor. Along the way, the armed forces of King's Landing magnates also spontaneously followed, and the ranks became more and more crowded, and the long streets, torches were lit, and a long line of invisible torches was drawn.
Seeing this momentum, the believers who wanted to show solidarity with the sparrow were silent, and they avoided the streets, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
The Star Warriors also had wooden sticks, and some of the believers didn't even have them.
The royal legions were armed with swords, armor and helmets, which were more difficult to mess with than with their bare hands or a wooden club.
Before the procession reached the square of the Great Chapel of Baylor, a herald came to report that the Queen Mother and Queen were all well, and that the Sparrow had been beheaded.
Galan Tirel's hanging heart landed peacefully.
That night, Queen Margaery returned to her maiden home at the Red Keep. She and her maids were unharmed.
Queen Cersei returned to the Red Keep, and with her the captive Lannister. He was covered in blood, fought to the death, and was captured alive by Wagner and his family warriors.
Kaivon Lannister, who greeted the Queen Mother and Queen outside the bronze gates of the Red Keep, saw Lancel but did not say anything to ask for forgiveness for Lancer.
The seven archbishops of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor accompanied the Queen Mother and the Magic Mountain back to the Red Keep, and in the procession, the head of the Sparrow was inserted into the tip of a spear and displayed all the way to the public. He was accompanied by the bishop and the white-robed friars, who advised the gathered believers to disperse.
The garrison gathered in the city, the naval soldiers, the legion of the riverlands, the queen mother's guard, and the private armies of the magnates had exceeded 10,000 people, and such a powerful legion, which occupied the length of several streets, could not be defeated by the believers who had lost the sparrow.
The horses were iron-clad, the infantry soldiers were in a hurry, and the entire city of King's Landing was engulfed in the power of slaughter. The poor believers dared not speak out, and remained silent in the streets, watching the procession roar past, and no one dared to come forward and hit the stone with an egg.
The slaughter of the sparrow shakes the self-confidence of the believers!
If the sparrow were the son of the Seven Gods, it would not have been killed.
The Son of God is immortal, he sees prophecies, and he has the protection of the seven gods.
But the hemp finch died, and the head was stuck in the tip of the gun!
Is he really evil? He is deceived by demons?
When the believers saw the sparrow's head with their own eyes, it was messy!
Their morale is like a punctured balloon!
The Magic Mountain raids in the middle of the night, beheading the Sparrows, exterminating the Poor Man's Assembly and the Knights of the Holy Sword, the new archbishop will soon take the throne, and the monks will launch a negative propaganda against the Sparrows, and the situation of King's Landing has been decided.
The prestige of the Demon Mountain, overnight, shocked King's Landing, made his potential rivals even more fearful, and also shook the elite fiercely.
For a time, his prestige was unprecedented!
