Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 246

c243 Shooting dragon crossbow, useless!

“Where does he get the money?” The High Sparrow blurted out.

“The Poseidon family has a foundation on the other side of the continent, and they make money faster than the Iron Bank.” Cersei laughed, “Now do you know what I meant by the previous few sentences?”

“My Lord Bishop, I’ll wait for you in the Royal Hall. I believe you will make the right choice. The faith of the Seven Gods is in your mind.”

After that, Cersei turned around and left. She felt that the High Sparrow would definitely stand on the side of the Iron Throne, unless the High Sparrow really wanted the faith of the Seven Gods to disappear.

The High Sparrow looked at Cersei’s back as she left, his face unchanged, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The next day, the High Sparrow went to find Cersei. After the High Sparrow left, Cersei convened a royal meeting and pulled the High Sparrow in. At the same time, he once again gave the church the power to form the Sons of War.

After getting the power, the High Sparrow returned to the cathedral and immediately began to set up the Sons of War. Even under the High Sparrow’s deception, more than a hundred wandering knights joined the Sons of War.

However, Cersei did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and even disbanded the capital garrison on the spot.

In order to maintain the faith of the Seven Gods, the High Sparrow began to preach in King’s Landing, portraying the Poseidon Cult as a heretical cult that eats human flesh and drinks human blood.

The people of King’s Landing began to fear the Poseidon Cult and the Poseidon family.

Jack, who was not aware of the changes in King’s Landing for the time being, assembled 10,000 navy and personally took Korak Hugh to join the war.

Because of Alexander’s affairs, Elizabeth has now become the new crown prince of the Empire. She was taken back to the Sea King Island by Daenerys and taught by Asidolph.

And now the adult Poseidon is rushing to Westeros and will arrive in three days at most.

The 10,000 navy is composed of the Northern Fleet, which was expanded from the Iron Fleet and the White Harbor Fleet. After the assembly, it quickly sailed towards the Iron Islands.

When Jack’s navy arrived at the Iron Islands, Euron’s fleet was still attacking the Arbor.

Euron didn’t care about the negotiations between Cersei and Highgarden at all, and went straight to the Arbor.

This move made Highgarden feel that Cersei’s negotiations were simply delaying time, so the two sides went to war directly.

But Cersei had already made preparations. Jaime assembled 50,000 elite troops in the Westerlands, and the Stormlands and the Crownland assembled 10,000, a total of 60,000.

The Frey family in the Riverlands assembled troops in the Twins to prevent the North from taking advantage of the chaos to attack.

Highgarden directly raised 120,000 people, but unfortunately the gap between the conscripts in the Reach and the elite in the Westerlands was too large. Even with the command of Randyll Tarly, they could only shrink the front line.

After all, Jaime and Kevan were not just eating for free, and their ability to lead troops was also not weak.

Because the Qingting Island fleet did not expect Euron Greyjoy to suddenly attack during the negotiations, it was beaten back by Euron’s fleet for a while. When it was about to fail, Euron’s fleet suddenly retreated.

The reason for Euron’s retreat was that he had just received news that the Iron Islands were occupied by Asha Greyjoy.

This made Euron very excited. Ever since Asha Greyjoy and Jack Poseidon joined forces, he had always wanted to kill Asha Greyjoy completely.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

Euron hurried back to the Iron Islands. At this time, the nobles on the Iron Islands had been almost liquidated by Asha Greyjoy.

All those who actively supported Euron Greyjoy were ordered to be executed by Asha Greyjoy, and their property was confiscated.

Due to the strength of Carax, these nobles did not organize any decent resistance.

Any castle and army, in front of Carax, is like paper, and will break at the touch.

The 10,000 navy was divided into two, and the Iron Fleet stayed in the Iron Islands to prepare to fight Euron Greyjoy’s fleet.

The Northern Navy traveled between the Iron Islands and the North, sending the Northern nobles who were about to watch the show to the Iron Islands to assist Asha in managing the Iron Islands.

At the same time, Jack also equipped these nobles with varying numbers of Unsullied, who could protect and assist the Northern nobles while also being able to monitor them well.

Soon after, the news of Euron’s return reached Pike City.

Jack, who was deploying troops on the ship at this time, rode directly on Korakshuu after receiving the news and entered the dragon spirit state.

He wanted to tell the world with his actions that the dragon crossbow is useless!

With a roar from Korakshuu, one man and one dragon disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Euron on the Silence had a confident and elegant smile on his face, and under his Silence, a huge shadow was wriggling.

At this time, Euron’s giant squid was already 80 meters long, and the dragon of the Poseidon family was probably not even 20 meters long. As long as it found an opportunity, the giant squid could strangle the dragon in an instant.

The dragon crossbow was simply a cover, and the dragonbinder horn was not sure whether it could really control the dragon. Only the giant squid was the confidence for Euron to face the dragon!

Just as Euron Greyjoy was thinking about the possibility of controlling the dragon with the dragonbinder horn after beating the dragon to death, the giant squid at the bottom of the ship suddenly became restless.

Euron frowned and looked up with a feeling. Suddenly, clouds surged in the distant sky, and a scarlet figure was rushing towards him rapidly.

“Dragon!” Euron shouted. Korakshuu was too fast, and he had no time to aim the dragon crossbow. If he didn’t want to be roasted like a suckling pig, he could only jump into the sea quickly.
