Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 270

c264 The God is there

The Red Castle was built separately from King’s Landing. The Red Castle was built on a huge rock in the southeast corner of King’s Landing.

This is a very popular construction layout. Building on the rock wall can not only increase the castle’s defensive capabilities, but also overlook the entire King’s Landing from the top of the Red Castle, making it a real “King’s Landing” in terms of visual effects.

Aiel was one of the earliest refugees in King’s Landing. After the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, he was forcibly conscripted.

Later, after the war, he returned home and found that his wife and daughter had been insulted to death by the defeated soldiers. The family’s food, land and even the house were also taken away by the new lord.

He had no choice but to join the team of refugees, and eventually wandered all the way to King’s Landing and became a refugee in King’s Landing.

Fortunately, there was the holy and merciful Pope who gave him food. In this way, he lived up to the Pope’s expectations and became a loyal believer of the Seven Gods.

Just today, he heard the news of the expansion of the Sons of War, so he immediately signed up, hoping that he could fight for the Pope. Thanks to his combat experience in the War of the Five Kings, he was lucky to get what he wanted.

Just as Al was happily heading to the Baelor Cathedral, a roar exploded in his ears, and a fear that penetrated deep into his soul burst out.

Al couldn’t help but look in the direction of the Red Castle. In his horrified eyes, a huge monster wrapped in blue and white mist appeared not far from the Red Castle.

The blue light rushed through the mist, like thunder wrapped around the monster, for it to drive.

The fear spread in his heart until it enveloped Al’s whole body. With a plop, Al knelt on the muddy road.

He trembled all over and folded his hands, his head firmly pressed to the ground.

“Seven Gods, Seven Gods, please bless your loyal servant”

The King’s Landing, which had forcibly gathered 800,000 people, was completely in chaos after Poseidon appeared.

Despair, collapse, robbery, rape, crying, praying, fleeing, the law and order that was barely maintained completely collapsed.

When Poseidon, who was more than 200 meters tall, appeared outside King’s Landing, everyone in King’s Landing discovered her. If dragons make people feel fear, then Poseidon will only make people feel despair!

“Please go back, three of you. Since you don’t want to surrender, let’s fight on the battlefield.”

Jack’s voice pulled everyone back to reality from the storm in their minds. All those who had never seen Poseidon looked at Jack in shock and couldn’t say a word.

Looking at the monster that was taller than the Red Castle built on the rock wall, Cersei’s face turned pale, and her lips trembled for a long time without saying a word.

Finally, Jaime said in a trembling tone: “What is this. Monster?”

“I have said it, haven’t I? Dragons have never been the foundation of my rule. The glory of the sea god will shine on every land in the world!”

“I will give you half a day to think about it. If you don’t take your army out of the city to surrender before the sun sets, I will raze the Red Castle to the ground.”

After speaking, Jack did not stay any longer, but got up and left directly. Tormund and others also followed Jack after making a gesture of waiting to die to Cersei and the other two.

Cersei stayed there, at a loss. She didn’t know how she got back to the Sept of Baelor. She couldn’t go back to the Red Keep anymore, and everyone in the Red Keep had evacuated.

In the Sept, Cersei still stared blankly at Poseidon next to the Red Keep. After an unknown amount of time, Cersei seemed to have accepted Poseidon’s existence.

She immediately called Qyburn and asked him what to do now?

However, Qyburn had no other choice. Jack didn’t care about the lives of the civilians in the city. The city walls couldn’t even stop the dragons, let alone the behemoth that was eyeing the Red Keep.

“What did the Iron Bank say?” Cersei said without giving up.

“The Iron Bank rejected us. They thought we were incapable of repaying the loan or hiring the Faceless Men. The Golden Company also withdrew.”

“What a short-sighted fool. If the Iron Throne fails, do they think Jack Poseidon will acknowledge the Iron Throne’s debt?”

Coburn looked at Cersei who was beginning to go crazy quietly. His expression did not change at all. He just looked at the tall Poseidon with some yearning and fear.

He felt a certain texture similar to the magic of the dead on Poseidon. This feeling was indescribable.

“Cersei, Cersei.” Jaime’s voice came from a distance.

After entering the church, Jaime saw the crazy Cersei and quickly stepped forward to hug Cersei to make her calm down.

“Give up, we have no chance. Come back to the Westerlands with me. From what they said, Myrcella is still favored by Jack. Jack will not kill us and Tommen, but if we continue to resist, we will really die. If we die, we will have nothing.”

If Carax can still make Jaime want to gamble, then the appearance of Poseidon made Jaime completely give up the idea of ​​gamble.

In the end, Cersei agreed with Jaime’s suggestion. She planned to preserve the strength of the Westerlands and slowly look for opportunities in the future.

To put it bluntly, Cersei realized a truth. A man who knows the times is a hero. It is not shameful to admit defeat first. The Targaryen family had more than a dozen dragon riders, but they also declined.

Before the sun set, Jaime led 20,000 people out of the city and swore allegiance to Jack.

Jaime has inherited the position of Duke of Casterly Rock, and his oath of allegiance represents the surrender of the Westerlands.

After Jaime swore allegiance, he proposed two conditions to Jack. The first condition was to ensure the safety of himself, Cersei and Tommen, and the second condition was that the Westerlands would be autonomous and could not reform.

Jack agreed to Jaime in his own name, and then Tommen Baratheon went out of the city to announce his surrender.

Tommen was not only the nominal king of the Iron Throne, but also the Duke of Stormlands. His surrender represented the complete change of the Iron Throne.

Looking at Tommen Baratheon kneeling in front of him and offering the crown with both hands, Jack felt that this kid was not sad at all, but more fearful and happy.

In fact, Tommen was not sad at all about losing the throne, and he was even a little happy.

Because according to Jaime, as long as he surrendered, he could go back to the Westerlands with his mother and live a carefree life, which was what he dreamed of.

After Tommen surrendered, Jack immediately let the Son of Winter take over the security of King’s Landing. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of the fire would be killed regardless of age, gender, or age.

The armies of Dorne, Vale and the Reach were all waiting outside the city, and even the army of the Westerlands had to wait outside the city.

As for the Reach stationed in front of another city gate, although they were shocked by the appearance of Poseidon, they were mentally prepared.

Because before they came, Olenna had sent a letter, telling them to be surprised at everything they saw, especially things that came out of the sea.

Olenna’s information naturally came from Alexander Poseidon.

While Margaery was taking Alexander to play in the High Garden, Margaery also got a lot of information about Atlantis.

At this moment, they also received a message from Jack, asking them not to leave their military camp or bring people into the city, and to wait for Jack’s notice on the spot, otherwise it would be considered a war.

Although Randyll Tarly was angry, he could only obey. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Jack would really go to war with them. The beast would definitely be able to kill them all and flatten any castle in the Reach.

After the Son of Winter took control of King’s Landing, Jack rode Carax to the Red Keep.

Carax blew up the door of the throne room with his tail, and then squeezed in first, destroying it all the way. After checking around and finding no danger, he protected Jack and walked in.

It’s not that Jack is too careful, but that Cersei, this crazy woman, can do anything without considering the consequences.

After Jack entered the hall, Hecarim also followed in with a team of people. Jack’s safety was the first priority in Hecarim’s heart.

Looking at the Iron Throne covered with swords in the throne room, Jack had no interest in his heart. This tetanus blade has killed many Targaryen kings in history.

Almost all the wars in Westeros later were related to this broken chair.

If Aegon Targaryen had not given this iron chair a special meaning, it would have been thrown away by a generation of Targaryen kings.

Jack gently stroked the cold black throne, “This seat is a complete lie, as if whoever sits on it can rule the world and live forever.”

Korax tilted his head, and then the dragon flames spurted out, instantly melting the Iron Throne into a pool of molten iron.

Jack: “.”

It’s time to show off. Jack wanted to pretend to say a few dirty words, so that his highlights will be recorded in history books in the future.

Although Karakhu is very smart, his thinking is still very different from that of humans. He twisted his head and gently rubbed Jack, indicating that Jack didn’t need to thank him.

I should have maintained the half-dragon spirit state earlier. It’s bad luck!

But Jack didn’t care. As the founding emperor of Atlantis, he believed that future generations would have all kinds of positive comments on him.

Looking at the pool of molten iron in front of him, Jack shook his head slightly. He was going to melt the Iron Throne, and he even wanted to flatten the Red Castle.

After leaving the Red Castle, Jack rode Carax to the Great Sept of Baelor, which is a holy place for all the believers of the Seven Gods. When Poseidon appeared, a large number of believers gathered here to pray.

Carax landed with a strong wind, and the High Sparrow had been waiting for Jack here for a long time, or when Cersei decided to surrender, he began to gather the Sons of War here.

But the Sons of Winter received Jack’s order before entering the city. After entering the city, they immediately arranged 1,500 people to surround the Great Sept of Baelor and confronted the Sons of War gathered around the Great Sept.

Looking at Jack who came down from the dragon’s back and walked towards him, the High Sparrow exclaimed: “It’s so beautiful, like a ruby.”

The High Sparrow looked at Carax calmly, but his heart was full of desire. If the church could also have dragon riders, the faith of the Seven Gods should be able to spread to every corner of the world, right?

“Yes, he is beautiful, but the more dangerous he is, the more beautiful he is. Countless people have died under his dragon flame.”

“No matter how many people he kills, it cannot deny the fact that he is beautiful, right? I wonder why His Majesty let so many people surround the cathedral?”

“Do you know that I have another identity?” Jack said to the High Sparrow.

Looking at the linen clothes and bare feet on the High Sparrow, if you haven’t read the original book, you would really think that this is a sincere and wise believer who is devoted to practice.

As for the other identity that Jack mentioned, the High Sparrow naturally knew that Jack was also the Pope of the Sea God Church.

At the same time, this also surprised the High Sparrow, as it is rare to see a situation where he is both a king and a pope at the same time.

So the High Sparrow continued to speak slowly: “Of course I know, you are the Pope of the Poseidon Cult, we are all servants of God and God’s spokespersons.”

“No, you are wrong, you are the servant of the Seven Gods who do not exist at all.

I am different, I am the Poseidon, and my will is the will of the Poseidon.”

Jack pointed to the towering Poseidon, “Look, God is there, Westeros can only have one faith, that is me!”
