Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 93 92. The High Sparrow Waiting for the Opportunity

There are a total of seven ministers in King's Landing's Royal Council.

Prime Minister Merson Hubbard; Commander of the Gold Robe LaRue Guerrero; Commander of the Navy Mycia Valencia; Chancellor of the Exchequer Christopher Haddad; Grand Maester Pycelle; Minister of Justice Hebert Boyle;

Captain of the Kingsguard Kahalman Lucero.

LaRue Guerrero is Cersei's hand-picked Commander-in-Chief in Gold Robes.

After Cersei dismissed the royal council, LaRue returned to his residence, changed into plain clothes and hurried out.

Along the way, he arrived at the Great Temple of Baelor in a secretive way. After looking around, Lalu entered a secret room through the back door after making sure that no one was following him.

Through the long tunnel, Lalu finally saw the goal of his trip.

"What has Cersei summoned you for?" The person asking was none other than the High Sparrow.

LaRue is actually from the High Sparrow!

Cersei always thought that LaRue was promoted by herself, but in fact, LaRue had been brainwashed by the High Sparrow a long time ago.

"Your Majesty the Pope!" A trace of fanaticism flashed in LaRue's eyes, "Cersei wants to sneak attack on the Crab Claw Peninsula. She believes that the Crab Claw Peninsula is the gateway to the king's territory. If it is not taken back, the king's territory will always be in danger!

"

"Western Realm?"

"Yes, just like that little sea monster, if he hadn't risen for two years, I would never have let you marry Tommen."

"Tommen is a good king, he is very obedient, but because of this, he is also a good and obedient child to Cersei!" Olenna said unhurriedly.

When Stormland was crippled at first, the High Sparrow didn't have enough strength to operate. Later, Stormland slowly regained its strength, leaving the High Sparrow with no absolute certainty.

While Cersei was listening to Christopher reporting information about the Rose, Olenna was also discussing Christopher.

Margaery said in surprise: "I want to be the queen. Do you really think Theon can withstand the siege of the Iron Throne when he becomes the queen?"

While the High Sparrow was planning secretly, the captain of the Kingsguard, Kahalman Lucero, hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it back to the West.

After Missia left, a child came to the garbage dump, took away the letter, and hurried to a tavern.

However, unlike Margaery who was worried, Olenna still looked indifferent, "After all, he is just an earl. He occupies one of the richest places in the Reach, so he definitely doesn't feel safe."

"Who will lay siege to the Salt Throne, which sits on the Riverlands, the North, and the Iron Islands?"

For this reason, both parties began to prepare for this situation.

"Or the Royal Domain and the Stormlands?"

Moreover, his territory is constantly being spied on by the surrounding earls and marquises.

But now a perfect opportunity is in front of him. Once the Stormlands directly under Tommen's jurisdiction are crippled, and the royal nobles are almost useless, the High Sparrow is absolutely sure that the divine power will override the imperial power.

.

So Christopher chose to work for Cersei secretly, and now he is still a member of the Rose Party with the Minister of Justice Herbert Boyle.

Christopher was originally a noble from the Reach. His fiefdom was extremely rich and his family's financial resources were astonishing. However, due to the strict aristocratic system, as an earl, he never had the opportunity to improve his fiefdom and title.

Olenna mentioned several places in succession, but when Margaery thought about it, it seemed that it was really impossible to encircle the Riverlands.

"Alas, the best opportunity has been missed. The development of the Riverlands is too fast. There are at least 50,000 retired soldiers. According to the intelligence, a soldier earns at least 13 gold dragons a year. It is conceivable that Theon spends a lot of money on Rayjoy every year.

How much money is spent on the military!”

Olenna looked disdainful. This kind of person occupies one of the most fertile lands. Not only does he not think about how to strengthen his military strength, but he blindly seeks the protection of others. It is extremely ridiculous!

"In my family, he did not get absolute protection, so he set his sights on the Iron Throne, expecting Cersei to give him protection. He didn't even know who Cersei was."

A trace of shock flashed across the High Sparrow's face, "What are you talking about? Cersei wants to take back the Crab Claw Peninsula? She didn't take advantage of the riverland army to go north to attack, and she went to attack now? What is she thinking?"

After a while, a messenger crow flew from the tavern yard to the west.

"We in the Reach?"

One day later.

"Valley?"

"Like Theon Greyjoy, right?" Margaery asked curiously.

How could the aged Olenna not see Christopher's betrayal? If she couldn't see this, she wouldn't be called the Queen of Thorns.

After delivering the letter to the tavern owner, the child returned to wandering on the street as if nothing had happened.

And Cersei was shaking the red wine glass in her hand, listening to the report by Christopher Haddad, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

What's more, the Golden Robe is one of his own, and with the power of the Golden Robe and the Sparrow Order's armed forces, he can completely control King's Landing.

But after all, he was just a money manager, and he didn't really have much real power. This was far from the position he expected of the golden-robed commander.

Navy Commander Mycia Valencia wrote a letter. Mycia came to an alley and threw the letter into the trash.

Kahalman only hopes that the letter will be returned to Kevan Lannister as soon as possible so that he can make some preparations in advance. With the current situation of the Iron Throne, it is somewhat unwise to start a war with the army of the Riverlands.

But a flash of excitement flashed across the High Sparrow's face, and he suddenly realized that this was his chance!

As long as Theon cripples the Stormlands army, then the Stormlands, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the Iron Throne, will return to the dilapidated state of a few years ago. Then it will be his chance to override the royal power!

"Siege?" Olenna shook her head.

Olenna held Margaery's hands and taught: "You have to understand that only by being strong can you be truly safe. Especially when your wealth is so large that it attracts attention, you have to become extra strong, otherwise you can rely on

Others are still the fish on the cutting board!"

Kevan Lannister in the West and Theon Greyjoy in the Iron Islands both learned of Cersei's movements.

"Do we really not need to worry about Christopher?" Margery asked worriedly.

Faced with Cersei's coercion and inducement, it is undeniable that Christopher's heart is moved.

"And since Xion can have at least 1.3 million golden dragons in the army, it means that he has more money to build weapons and strengthen the castle!"

For this reason, he spent a lot of money to build connections, and ended up being regarded as a minister of finance. Although for a count, the minister of finance had a high official position and was qualified to participate in the royal council.

It happened that at this time, Cersei came to him and promised to give him the position of marquis and give him the position of Lord of the Admiralty in the future.

"The Reach just heard about Essos from the caravan. Do you know what the Iron Fleet's two hundred large ships and a total of twenty thousand people did?"

Margaery shook her head. She had been brainwashing Tommen recently and didn't care about this news.

"He went to capture Astapor, and then said that Yunkai had stolen his refined salt technology, and he first sent out troops to attack the city in a sneak attack, and only then claimed it after the troops came to the city."

Olenna shook her head with disgust and vigilance, "I would rather believe that Yunkai has stolen Daenerys Targaryen's dragon than believe that the technology for making refined salt will be stolen by a group of slave traders!"
