Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 271
c265 Don’t scream
Jack’s words made the High Sparrow’s face change. He didn’t expect that Jack had no intention of letting other beliefs stay.
But the High Sparrow still didn’t give up. He tried:
“Your Majesty, 80% of the people in Westeros believe in the Seven Gods. If you force them to change their beliefs, they will only rebel. It’s better not to…”
Jack interrupted the High Sparrow directly:
“I have prepared enough food from the Free Trade Coast.
People who believe in the God of the Sea will not starve to death this winter, and those who don’t believe in the God of the Sea will not have to live this winter.”
Jack’s light words made the High Sparrow’s face change suddenly. Since ancient times, food has been the best way to control people’s hearts. Obviously, Jack is not short of food!
The Church of the Seven Gods is different. It can be said that it was poor before Cersei supported the church. It was not until Cersei began to support the church that life became better.
But now looking at this situation, it is impossible to get Jack to support the Church of the Seven Gods.
“Your Majesty, the kings of all generations have no power to forcibly modify the beliefs of all living beings. This is not allowed by the gods and will make the gods angry!”
“Don’t scream at me. I’ll give you a glass of wine to withdraw from the Great Sept of Baelor. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
After speaking, Jack waved his right hand, and the Son of Winter immediately understood what was going to happen and hurriedly followed Jack to retreat.
Jack’s move made the High Sparrow awkward.
For most of history, the church was on an equal footing with the royal family, and even had more power than the royal family.
This situation changed until the arrival of the Targaryen family, and the church’s military power was abolished, which made the church unable to recover.
This situation continued until Cersei restored the armed forces of the church.
At the same time, in the intrigue with Cersei, the High Sparrow unknowingly became a little floating.
He instinctively believed that whether it was the King of the Sea or the King of the Seven Kingdoms, as long as they wanted to rule the Seven Kingdoms steadily, they must maintain a certain respect for the Church of the Seven Gods.
But in the conversation with Jack, he found himself like a clown. Jack, who had dragons and behemoths, didn’t care about his reliance at all.
And Jack did have the confidence, because whether it was military power or material reserves, Jack, who had overseas territories, was far superior to the Seven Gods Church.
As Jack said, those who did not believe in the God of the Sea would wait to die this winter, and those who believed in the God of the Sea would receive food aid.
Anyway, after every long night, Westeros would always lose 90% of its population, and Jack could completely control everyone with food.
But the High Sparrow was unwilling!
The church finally regained the power to build military power in his hands, how could it be so easily lost?
The High Sparrow immediately ordered the bishops around him to gather all the believers in the Great Sept of Baelor.
He, the High Sparrow, didn’t believe that Jack dared to massacre the Seven Gods believers in front of so many people in King’s Landing.
Jack watched more and more people gather in the Great Sept of Baelor from a distance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He chose the latter between “weak people” and “rich people”.
This is unique in Westeros, where civilians are treated as livestock, so that many people feel that they can be threatened with the lives of civilians.
Today Jack will let everyone know what a god who decides the fate of the continent is!
After a glass of wine, seven thousand people have gathered in the Great Cathedral of Baelor, as densely packed as an ant nest.
And the High Sparrow was looking at Jack from afar on the steps in front of the Great Cathedral, with determination and madness in his eyes.
Although he, the High Sparrow, is eager for power, he is also a believer of the Seven Gods. Since he became the archbishop, he has not enjoyed any luxury and even saved many refugees.
The believers who came to the Great Cathedral also knew why they came here, but they still came without hesitation.
Just because the High Sparrow is their savior!
Jack looked at the High Sparrow from afar, as well as the believers gathered around the Great Cathedral of Baelor.
If Poseidon had not embarked on the path of becoming a god, he would be happy to leave the Church of the Seven Gods and just abolish the military power.
But unfortunately, the fact is that he must wipe out all the beliefs in the world, especially the beliefs of the Seven Gods and the Lord of Light.
Taking advantage of the power reshuffle in Westeros, it is just the right opportunity to cut the Gordian knot.
Jack only needs one long night to spread the belief in the god of the sea to every corner of the two continents.
In the eyes of the High Sparrow, blue and white power of faith appeared around Jack.
Poseidon in the distance seemed to have received an order and looked in the direction of the Cathedral.
Poseidon had not made any movements since he appeared, but now he suddenly moved, and the movement made everyone startled.
In the horrified and puzzled eyes of the crowd, a blue light appeared on Poseidon’s back, as if thunder was gathering.
Atomic breath suddenly burst out and rushed straight to the Cathedral of Baelor.
In the dull and terrified eyes of everyone in King’s Landing, the Cathedral of Baelor was razed to the ground in an instant.
The power of atomic breath is far greater than Clarke’s dragon fire.
When the atomic breath stopped, only a huge pit remained at the location of the original Baelor Cathedral.
After erasing the Baelor Cathedral, Poseidon launched the atomic breath again.
This time the target was the Red Castle. According to Jack’s order, Poseidon cut the huge rock where the entire Red Castle was located from the road.
This extremely shocking scene is destined to be deeply engraved in the minds of everyone present.
Separating the continents is something that only gods can do!
After doing all this, Poseidon returned to the sea.
He was no longer needed for the next thing, as the purpose of strategic intimidation had been achieved.
In the next three days, Jack quickly took control of King’s Landing.
And after receiving the letter of allegiance from the Reach, the imprisoned Duke of Mace swore allegiance to Jack.
