Chapter 0439: Burning the Great Sanctuary of Baylor
(Excuse me tomorrow.) From April, the last day of the month is a regular holiday. )
*
While the city of Lannisport was on fire, the Basilica of Baylor in King's Landing was filled with fire oil by the city garrison.
The mountains of wealth in the treasury have been removed, and all the jewels embedded in the seven sacred statues have been dug up and put into the treasury.
Wildfire material was dumped on the stone façade on the first floor of Baylor's Great Sanctuary.
This substance can penetrate into the rock and burn.
At the command of the cardinal priest Melisandre, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, Berry Dondelion, threw out the torch in his hand.
Soon, the Basilica of Baylor burned into a sea of flames.
The crackling sound began to continue.
On Baylor Square, neat and solemn black armor troops are lined up.
Outside the square, countless city dwellers and sparrows watched the fire burn.
The firelight illuminated their faces and the hatred in their hearts.
However, in the face of the Black Armor led by Berry Dondelion, they dared not speak out.
The Black Armor was the most loyal legion that Stannis I brought from Dragonstone, and the true descendants of Stannis. Their combat effectiveness is also undoubted, perhaps the combat effectiveness of a single person is limited, but with the appearance of the Cheng Legion, the tacit understanding of advance and retreat has doubled.
The firelight also reflected Melisandre's face.
The flames burst into the sky, reflecting half of the sky in King's Landing.
Countless poor people and more patched sparrows began to pour in from outside the city.
Within a few days, word spread that their inner son Sparrow had been killed by the Iron Giant beside the evil Stannis I. The giant tore off the archbishop's arms with his bare hands, and the iron hand slit open the archbishop's chest, gouging out his heart and crushing it......
The sparrows, who had previously left the city by order of the archbishop, began to return.
The archbishop ordered them to leave temporarily, but only out of the city, not really, in order to give Stannis I the illusion of compromise and submission, so that Stannis could relax his guard against the archbishop and them.
The tragedy of the Divine Prayer Ceremony shocked the thousands of sparrows outside the city, and word of mouth spread that more sparrows flocked to King's Landing from all over the city.
The Basilica of Baylor is their holy place, and the archbishop is their god.
They were even more outraged by the rumors of the Iron Giant who had killed the archbishop, and instead of dying or being punished for it, he had become the new squire of the evil Red Witch.
As the flames of the Baelor Chapel grew higher and higher, more and more sparrows silently poured into King's Landing from the five gates.
Melisandre was on her horse, and the tall, terrifying steel giant she was surrounded by none other than Robert Strong.
He was still wearing the armor from the great battle the day before yesterday, and the armor was full of terrible sword scratches, some of which were very deep, and it could be seen that they had penetrated the protection of the armor.
He was also the only king to survive the Templar War.
The six Kingsguards, all the members of the Warrior Regiment except him, were killed.
The fire at the Basil was a signal, and the atmosphere in King's Landing began to grow subtle as the fire intensified and sparrows poured in.
Residents in the city have accelerated their pace to return home, hotels and girls' nests and other places have closed their doors and windows, and small shops on Iron and Steel Street have also closed their stalls, as if there is an invisible magic in the air.
The idlers on the street hurried back home, and everyone closed their mouths and looked grim.
Strangely, the guards of the six gates did not close the gates to prevent the sparrows from entering. Since there was no obstruction, the sparrows poured in like a tide.
When the roof of the Basilica collapsed, so did the bell on top of the tower.
Even in the midst of the flames, the bell made a loud noise, loud and melodious, piercing through the flames and resounding in the sky of the Basilica of Baylor.
The bell was not an extraordinary thing, but it was also a Templar treasure, and it was only ringed at ceremonies such as the death of a king or the marriage of a king, and its sound was heard by the whole city.
The sound of the falling bell rang in the ears of thousands of people at the scene, and most of the people in the city also heard it.
It's like a command from the Seven Gods.
Standing outside Baylor Square among the sparrows who watched the fire in their hearts, someone angrily threw stones, and the stones struck the shield of one of the Black Armorers with a thud.
The military quality of the Black Armor Army is completely different from the golden robes that were invincible in the previous Robert's time, and any civilian believer who dares to throw stones at the Golden Robe is simply looking for death, and the Golden Armor will inevitably swarm up and hack the provocative guy to death with a sword - but the Black Armor Army is motionless.
They were lined up in a whole row, all long contradictory cards, and short swords and short knives hung from their waists. Unlike the day before yesterday, Stannis came to the Great Sanctuary of Baelor, this time the Black Armor Army did not wear a long sword, the long sword was replaced by a spear, and everyone added an oak shield with iron trim.
The stone hit the shield and did not cause any damage, the Black Armor Army did not move, and the squad leader did not jump out to scold, if the matter ended there, then probably nothing would happen.
However, it was clear that this would not end there, and the throwing of the first stone was just a signal of an explosion, and then the rotten cabbage, tomatoes, eggs, and stones began to be thrown at the black armor army in formation. This time, the team was also quite large, and 2,000 Black Armor soldiers protected the national teacher Melisandre who came to burn down the Great Sanctuary of Baylor.
The Black Armor Army remained motionless, no one fought back, no one reprimanded, no one spoke disrespectfully. They just looked at the black-pressed sparrows in front of them with contemptuous eyes.
As evening came, night fell, and the flames of the Basil Basilica lit up all the streets nearby. The shining armor of the black-armored soldiers flickered with the shadows of the flames.
Call!
In the crowd, someone threw a javelin, and with a snatch, the javelin hit a soldier who raised his shield to block.
Sou!
In the crowd, a short arrow shot out, mixed with countless eggs, tomatoes, cabbage, and stones, grazed the edge of a shield and shot in, and with a bang, it shot into the armor of a soldier.
The short arrows were sharp, the distance was close, and it was obviously a machine shot, full of power, and the soldier was wounded in the arm and let out a muffled grunt.
"Report to the captain, there is a crossbow attack, Sergeant Thorm, request a counterattack. The soldier yelled in pain.
The captain gave the order: "Defensive formation!"
Roar!
The soldiers of the first and second rows immediately contracted in line, forming a queue of mandarin ducks, the two teams were one, the shields were close together, the spears were on the upper edge of the shields, and the spears were forward, and when viewed from the side, the spears were like a forest of spears.
"Report to the sir, there is an enemy attacking with bows and throwing guns, and ask for a counterattack. The captain yelled.
