Chapter 0517 Everything is ready
(5,000 words guaranteed)
The next day, in the throne hall, Kavon Lannister sat on the Iron Throne, courtiers, generals, noble knights, and ladies and ladies were lined up on both sides of the hall, and the people of Dorne were also there, among them, led by Lady Laura Black, and only Sir Deakon Woode was left in the Manwudi family.
The Dornish were happy to learn that Queen Mother Cersei was being held in the Baelor Sanctuary, and they were even more happy to see the palace in chaos.
A guard came in to tell you that the Basil Sanctuary had strengthened its defenses, and last night, the steps at the gate were still full of star warriors and holy sword knights, and some poor people began to gather in the square early in the morning, and some people probably thought that the royal power would not stop there, and they took the initiative to gather in the temple square to protect the safety of the archbishop in their hearts.
The Council was convened under the chairmanship of the new Prime Minister, and Kevon informed everyone in the hall of what had happened yesterday, and in a heavy tone, he threw all the blame on Cersei, and explained the reasons why Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Queen had been detained by the Archbishop. This kind of thing, as long as it is publicized publicly, is a disservice to the reputation of Queen Cersei and Her Majesty the Queen. It seems that Kaivon does not mind hurting the honor of two generations of queens. Finally, Kaivon asked for a proper solution to the conflict.
Moshan didn't attend the meeting, he took a leave of absence, and Kaivon wouldn't pay attention to his advice and role anyway. In yesterday's conflict, Magic Mountain and his people were marginalized by the Prime Minister.
When Kai Feng became prime minister, he had the slightest hint of targeting the Magic Mountain, perhaps the tragic death of Duke Tywin did not touch him enough, or it could be that he did not have enough political wisdom, or he thought that it was right not to let the Magic Mountain appear.
Because the Magic Mountain once killed the star warriors of the archbishop in the square!
Steel Street. The Magic Mountain and his guards.
Steel Street is a weapon street, where the best weapon masters of the Seven Kingdoms gather, and the masters who can open a blacksmith shop on Steel Street are all first-class.
Magic Mountain walks into one of the largest stores.
One of the apprentices panicked at the sight of the tall figure of the Magic Mountain, he dropped the hammer and ran to the small room inside, and soon the blacksmith came down from the rest room on the second floor, nodded his head and bowed respectfully.
There is no need to have any unpleasantness with the worst murderers of the Seven Kingdoms, and if humility keeps all trouble away, then humility is worth it.
The little attendant beside the magic mountain, Com Warner, took out a drawing and handed it to the master: "Five hundred small round shields, delivered within a week." ”
That's a big deal.
However, will the Magic Mountain give enough capital?
If it is a long sword, a helmet, and several pieces of armor, the blacksmith can also give it away for free. Five hundred small round shields, made of pure iron, delivered in a week, which his blacksmith could not make. He was bankrupt and couldn't give it away to Lord Magic Mountain for free.
The blacksmith's smile stiffened on his face, and he had a lot to say in his heart, but he only glanced at the magic mountain, and all the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't be spoken.
The coercion of the Magic Mountain is like the overwhelming power of a giant mountain. His arms, as thick as tree trunks, were naturally terrifying.
Moshan spoke, his expression was very cold: "Master, iron shield, small round shield, sharp edge like a knife, five hundred sides, delivery in a week, how much is the advance payment?"
A small iron round shield with a edge as sharp as a knife, this is a shield that has never appeared before in the Seven Kingdoms. The shields are triangular shields, rectangular shields, round shields. The triangular shield is a favorite shield used by infantry sword and shield bearers, and the triangular pointed shield is easy to erect on the ground and does not need to be lifted by the strength of the arm alone. Compared to the rectangular shield, the triangular shield is wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, and the reduced part saves material and is also lighter. The sharp angle of the triangular shield strikes at a fallen enemy, and the effect is comparable to that of a spear.
There are many kinds of round shields, but there has never been an iron shield with a knife-sharp edge. The shields are also mostly made of wood, which is to be lightweight and to reduce costs.
Iron is very expensive, iron ore is very expensive, all pure iron casts shields, and the price is expensive.
The Magic Mountain requires five hundred iron shields, all round shields, with edges as sharp as knives, this is a new weapon that combines defense and offense, and the blacksmiths have never forged such shields before.
In the end, the Magic Mountain and the blacksmith made an agreement, he paid ten gold dragons in advance, and the rest of the coins were paid a week later when the shield was delivered.
Magic Mountain left a drawing of the size of the shield, and this blacksmith shop can't make 500 small round shields in a week, but there is no need to worry about it. Once the blacksmiths receive a big order, they will mobilize the blacksmiths of the whole street to work together, and finally everyone will settle the account and divide the money.
Although the blacksmiths are very afraid of the Magic Mountain, but the performance of the Magic Mountain in the Battle of the Blackwater River has won him a good reputation, last time the Magic Mountain and the little demon Tyrion worked together to find the blacksmith masters, and it was the treasury that paid the money, this time, the Magic Mountain paid out of his own pocket.
It is unknown whether Moshan will pay in full afterwards, but whether it can not take this order is obviously not.
Then do it!
The time of the week was very tight, and the blacksmiths had to sleep in shifts at night. People rest, work can't stop.
In the evening, the Great Church of Baylor.
The old bishop had trouble sleeping, and the archbishop had the audacity to detain Queen Cersei, much to his uneasiness with the other four bishops. The friars, nuns, and sisters of silence are equally disturbed, and the archbishops who have been armed have brought many catastrophes to the development of the Church throughout history. And most of the fanatical star warriors are illiterate and have no knowledge of the bloody deeds of history.
The old bishop and other bishops, as well as a large number of monks, were very worried that when the conflict would be aroused, the jade would be burned, and the monks who had never participated in the seizure of the archbishop would also be exterminated.
Once they thought of the future contradictions erupting and the swords meeting, the old woman bishop couldn't help but envy the expelled warrior bishop, the warrior bishop was expelled, did not violate the doctrine of the "Seven Stars Bible", if they secretly escaped, the first is to give up their faith, and second, to defect privately, it is a blasphemy of the faith, until the last moment, the bishops will not do it.
There was a polite knock at the door.
The old woman and the bishop got up, it was so late, it was early in the morning, who would come to him? If it was a star warrior or a knight of the holy sword, they would not be so polite to knock on the door.
The old lady opened the door through a crack, and a familiar voice came: "It's me, Lord Bishop." ”
The old bishop was taken aback, and hurriedly opened the door, and let a man with his face hidden in his hood into the room, and he looked out of the door, and looked left and right, but no one paid attention to it, and he hurriedly closed the door, and then he realized that his heart was beating, and his heart seemed to be beating out of his chest.
If it were discovered that he had infiltrated the Great Chapel of Old Baylor, both of them would have escaped judgment and would probably have been beaten to death by the enraged warriors of the stars.
The stakes were too great, and the Warrior Bishop, who had served in the Baelor Chapel for many years, had never made a mistake, but he had become a sinner who could no longer appear in the Baelor Chapel.
"Lord Bishop, how did you get in?" the old woman and bishop lowered her voice, very alarmed.
"Underground Secret Passages. ”
"The situation has been very tense these days, you leave quickly, otherwise the news will leak, and we will all be affected by you. ”
"Old lady bishop, you are not affected by me, but by the sparrows and the little sparrows. The hemp finch has seized the queen mother, imprisoned the queen, resisted the power of the royal family, and flouted the authority of the prime minister, and the bane has been planted, do you still want to stay out of it?"
The old bishop's voice trembled: "We do not approve of what the archbishop has done...... Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister, and the courtiers and generals are wise......"
"The Archbishop is guilty of a crime, and he is armed with the faith, and he dares to detain and judge Her Majesty the Queen Mother and the Queen, and who else would not dare to move? Sir Osney has his legs broken and is worse than dead, and Sir Loras, the captain of the Kingsguard, is in an underground black cell. The news spreads, and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms will not watch the archbishop run amok, old lady and bishop, it is time to save our faith, our Church, our believers, and ourselves! ”
"Warrior Bishop, what do you want us to do?"
"Be the inner response of the warriors of the kingdom. "It's time to make a choice, old bishop, whether to sink and die, or to fight back and fight back with us to destroy the sparrow and win back the faith and the Templar." ”
Captain Erin, the warrior of the North, Calwin, the young squire Comwarner, the adopted son Langtengar, all the tribal chiefs and chiefs of the Crab Claw Peninsula, gathered together to listen to the court scholars explain on the map the location of each tower of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor, the hall, the Temple of the Seven Gods, the library, the silent room, the entrance to the dungeon, the bishop's tower, the location of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Queen......
Magic Mountain requires everyone who leads the team to remember the area they are responsible for. The tribal leaders of the Crab Claw Peninsula basically didn't know how to read, but it didn't matter, they didn't read words, but graphics.
If you can't remember it once, you can do it twice, three times, a hundred times, until you know it all by heart.
Early in the morning, the Red Fort barracks.
The heavy cavalry of the Magic Mountain, all dressed in chain mail, shields and one-handed swords, practiced offensive and defensive combat with each other on the ground. One-handed swords were unaccustomed to the warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula, who were more accustomed to using hammers, heavy axes, double-edged axes, maces, chain hammers, heavy spears, and machetes. But this time it's a death order, and people with poor shortsword skills can't participate in secret raid battles. In addition, it will be remembered once by Lord Magic Mountain.
In the Red Fort, there are many knights who are proficient in swordsmanship, and there are also many knights who are proficient in one-handed swords, and the magic mountain invited the head of the garrison, a total of five senior officers who are proficient in sword and shield combat to train his heavy cavalry in ground sword and shield fighting.
This scene is very strange, the leaders are polite, but the students are fierce and rude, and they are arrogant. They spoke vulgarly and had no honorific salute to the head of the sect, but after three days, the head of the sect became accustomed to the style of the gang of people who put on armor and scolded their mothers, and picked up short swords and practiced hard. Soon, the leaders of the sect were the same, they ate when they took the bowl, and scolded their mothers when they put down their chopsticks.
Taking off their armor and clothes, everyone has the same blood and body, and the noble sect heads and the warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula pick up the sword and shield, in fact, there is no essential difference.
The heavy cavalry of the Magic Mountain suddenly trained sword and shield combat skills, and practiced hard from morning to night every day, as if he was going to give up the cavalry to train the infantry, this is a very strange phenomenon, everyone talked about it after dinner, some people were very vigilant, some people were very vigilant, some people were very vigilant, some people laughed and sarcastic, and some people pondered deeply, but no one thought about what the Magic Mountain wanted to do.
Magic Mountain, a freewheeling wicked person, did some unreasonable things, and the nobles were not surprised to see it.
Prime Minister Kaivon and Duke Metz also discussed privately, Lord Mace is an underground ally of the Magic Mountain, he personally came to ask, and the Magic Mountain told the truth that the heavy cavalry's horse fighting skills are too poor, and they don't like to use swords, he wants to train their swordsmanship, the sword, is the universal weapon of the knights and nobles of this world, people who don't know swordsmanship, are not worthy of being a real warrior, and training swordsmanship, of course, starts with a one-handed sword.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the five hundred small iron round shields of the Magic Mountain have all been put in place, and the selected heavy cavalry leaders and warriors have been training in very strict sword and shield fighting in a small space every day.
On the eleventh day, Kaivon was given a chance to meet Her Majesty the Queen Mother, he thought that he had not violated the "Seven Stars Bible", in life, Kaivon had always been very frugal, did not participate in gambling, did not develop intimate relationships except for marriage, he was a lion who lived in the shadow of Tywin, and his personal qualities were impeccable.
At the meeting of the royal ministers, the Prime Minister decided to take only his own knightly escort, and when he arrived at the gate of the Basilica of Baylor, he went in alone and met with Queen Cersei, Queen Margaery, Sir Loras, and Ser Osney.
Every day for eleven days, in the square of the Basilica of Baylor, poor believers gathered in solidarity with the archbishop's seizure of Cersei and Margaery, in accordance with the teachings of the Seven Stars Bible.
The sword and shield training of the five hundred dead soldiers in the Magic Mountain is very successful, the soldiers are all first-class fighters in battle, not real rookies, they have made rapid progress after getting the guidance of famous teachers, good physical fitness and tempered combat experience have made them quickly master the sword and shield technology, a group of dead soldiers have completed training, and the speed at which they transform from horses to horses is amazing.
Maybe the essence of martial arts is actually the same.
The Prime Minister ventured into the Basilica of Baylor, and two thousand soldiers of the garrison, led by Commander Ben Ronte Blonn, lined up in the Grand Place of Baylor in solidarity with the Prime Minister. Unlike in the past, this time, the Star Warriors did not stand up the steps to confront each other, only the poor believers gathered in the square, and both sides obeyed the discipline of their leaders and looked at each other angrily, but no real conflict broke out.
In the midst of everyone's anxiety, in the evening, the archbishop personally sent the prime minister out, and the waiting soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief.
Osny entered the Templar and was seized, beaten, and tortured, Queen Margaery entered the Templar and placed under house arrest, Queen Cersei entered the Templar and placed under house arrest, and Loras Tyrell entered the Templar and was put in a black cell.
The sanctuary became a place where nobles and royalty felt palpitations when they mentioned it.
His Majesty the Prime Minister entered the Chapel, and he retreated, receiving a courtesy send-off from the Archbishop.
Under the watchful eyes of the warriors on both sides, the Archbishop sent down the steps of the Prime Minister, who was taller than the Prime Minister, still naked, and dressed in shabby gray friar's robes.
"Your Excellency, may you please do me a small favor?"
"Please, Your Excellency the Archbishop. ”
Both sides hated each other, but both were polite and cultured.
"The Magic Mountain trains his heavy cavalry to learn the sword and shield combat skills of the infantry, I know that he is here to enter the Great Sanctuary of Baylor one day, fighting in the Holy Church, and it is not convenient for long heavy axes and war horses to be handy, please tell him, I know his intentions, and warn him not to gamble with the lives of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Queen, if he dares to attack the Great Sanctuary of Baylor, he will be responsible for the lives of the Queen Mother and the Queen. ”
Kai Feng was silent on the surface, and he was stunned in his heart, it turned out that the magic mountain trained his heavy cavalry to learn the sword and shield combat skills of the infantry in order to attack the Baylor Grand Sanctuary.
"Lord Archbishop, I will convey your words to the Magic Mountain, however, I believe that your judgment is misunderstood, the people of the Magic Mountain train swordsmanship, it is very ordinary normal training, a warrior, who does not know swordsmanship, once he becomes a knight, he will be ridiculed by the noble knights. Attending various occasions, such as festivals, king's name days, it is impossible for knights to carry a tomahawk on their shoulders. “
"The archbishop, the knights, and the nobles, all have beautiful swords hanging from their waists. After the warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula became warriors under the royal family, each warrior had to learn the social etiquette of the Seven Kingdoms, learn swordsmanship, and learn to wear a long sword and a short sword, instead of hanging a war hammer or chain hammer around his waist to attend distinguished occasions, which was detrimental to the glory of the Demon Mountain. ”
Prime Minister Kevon's remarks were unassailable and perfectly concealed the true purpose of the Magic Mountain. His eloquence and talent are actually not lost to Duke Tywin, but in the old days, with Tywin, there would be no Kai Von.
The Archbishop stared at Prime Minister Kevon, his gaze like an awl, and Prime Minister Kevon's expression was calm, expressionless, and his face was like iron.
"Prime Minister, I enjoy dealing with you, and I hope what you say is right, but no matter what the Magic Mountain is up to, please tell him, I don't want the conflict to intensify again. Everything I do is to save, not destroy. You are an innocent and noble prime minister, and the armed monks of the Seven Gods will fully support the affairs of the adults, help the country to manage, and let the people live a better life, and the armed monks are not as cruel and terrible as people say. We only punish the criminals and give them a chance to repent, and the monks and the royal family can coexist amicably. ”
"My Excellency, I completely agree with you. "There is no difference between Prime Minister Kevon's lying and telling the truth.
