Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 199 Temple Riot
The Trinity is a deity worshiped at Essos who has three heads.

Near the Temple of the Three Heads in Tyrosh there is a huge statue of the Three Heads, and in Braavos Field there is also a tower with three turrets dedicated to the Three Heads.

Sailors who believed in the three-headed god said that the first head devoured the dead, and the third spit out new life, but they did not know what the middle head represented.

"It seems that I still underestimated the theocratic system of the trading city-state..." The departure this time can also be regarded as leading a snake out of its hole.

The trading city-state is actually a theocratic city-state. Although the nobles and merchants occupy a dominant position and can change the name of the city after controlling them, the sacrifices and temples seem to be a lingering shadow.

When Tyrosh fell, they did not come out to fight against Rhaenyra in the first place. Instead, they hid their strength and even obeyed the Targaryen coalition forces to help appease the civilians.

But once the inside loosened, they were like snakes that found an opportunity, and took a bite.

As long as Tyrosh still abides by the previous beliefs, as long as the nobles still have lingering prestige, as long as the temple can continue to attract the congregation, no matter how long Rhaenyla occupies here, as long as she leaves for a while, this place will return to the notorious slave capital.

"Massacre the city..." This dangerous thought only stayed in Rhaenyla's mind for a while, and then dissipated.

This would certainly solve the problem—even the people who raised the problem, but Tyrosh was not yet a Targaryen city-state in name.

Slaughtering the city means going to war with all city-states and regions.

In the Seven Kingdoms, there are still issues such as Lannister, Hightower and other nobles, as well as Dorne.

Cut constantly, the rationale is still chaotic.

But the priests in these temples will never stay!
"Catch me, even if the cell is full."

"Follow Your Majesty"

In fact, Daemon has already maintained order in the city. Prince "Flea Lair" played the fine tradition in King's Landing, and subdued the troublesome thieves, pickpockets and robbers.

However, the priests in the temple have a high position and authority, and there are a large number of believers to protect them, so Damon couldn't find a breakthrough for a while.

In fact, Damon had never stormed into the Cathedral of King's Landing to arrest the archbishop and severely repair him. To say he is "Maegor II" is too exaggerated.

Seeing Rhaenyla's arrival, the head priest straightened the crown of the three-faced statue, and said slowly, "Princess Targaryen, we are because of the statue..."

Rhaenyla clapped her hands, not wanting to listen, so a group of Unsullied and knights in elite armor rushed towards the mob armed with kitchen knives, farming tools and sticks.

Still want to start a "Dragon's Lair Riot" in front of me?
This is a massacre with a huge gap!Just like an adult charging at a child with a mad look, the hot-headed crowd suddenly woke up as if they were being splashed with cold water when they saw the knights raising their swords and shields to greet them without hesitation.

The crowd became chaotic, and those who wanted to sneak away dropped their weapons, but the guards on the periphery quickly found the hidden people and tied their hands and feet.

blood!The front of the temple was sprinkled, and the high priest was in a trance. This kind of thing has never happened in any city-state.

They alone are the uncrowned kings of the city-state, the souls of Tyroshi.

"Pfft!" The steel sword was inserted into the body of a mob who wanted to raise the hammer and rush towards Rhaenyla, the knight pulled out forcefully, the blood from the heart splashed in the air, splashing the priest's head and face.

"Ah!!" The priests screamed in fright, the pride of the uncrowned king had been thrown to the extreme north, and was frozen into dross by the ice that Rhaenyla showed.

"Don't let any one go." Rhaenila sneered, and all those who tried to resist were killed on the spot. Those who lost the ability to resist or knew that they could not resist threw their weapons on the ground, and squatted on the ground in a daze.

The proud priests formed a circle, looking at Rhaenira tremblingly.

"Your Highness, we are not trying to overthrow your rule..." The voices of the priests were almost crying, trying to explain, "The believers are just dissatisfied with the statue being toppled or rebuilt... That's why..."

"There is no need to explain." Rhaenila knew that it would be useless to say more, and it was absolutely impossible for these diehard priests who launched the riot to stand by her side.

"Retreat!" The knights surrounding here quickly retreated to a safe distance, and even the captives and civilians who were squatting down were caught and retreated.

The priest of the city-state didn't understand what it meant, until there was a roar from the sky that seemed to come from a giant beast from ancient times: "Sigh!!!"

The flames of Syrax's rage slanted down from the sky like a rainstorm of flames, burning the sinners of the land like... divine punishment!
"Dragon!" Seeing the priests transforming in the flames, howling, and being burned, the mob couldn't restrain their fear anymore, and they were so frightened that they cried out. They seemed to have forgotten that Tyroshi was burned. Those nobles and mercenaries who were burned to ashes at night!That memory is only now being awakened.

"I don't feel pain until the fire burns on me." Rhaenila is not surprised at all. The mobs are coerced by faith, and blood rushes to their foreheads. They are so fierce that they can kill dragons, but as long as they are hit, their morale will be like running water Hurry up, no fighting power at all.

"Arrest them all! If you dare to resist, go and accompany those priests." Rhaenyla's flat tone was like a magic voice that irritated the ears, turning the mob into frightened quails, tied together by ropes and iron chains .

Back at the Grand Duke's Mansion, the young boy and Chris Darrow were already waiting outside the door.

"Your Highness, you are back."

Both the boy grand duke and the mercenary captain were a little ashamed, lowered their heads, wanted to say something but couldn't speak.

"Hey, it's not your fault. The mercenaries and slaves didn't participate in it, and it's your fault."

In fact, citizen merchants and craftsmen participated the most, minor nobles followed, and none of slaves or mercenaries.

This riot was also limited to a small area, and did not cause major damage to Tyrosh. The only repairs needed were a temple or two that Syrax accidentally knocked down when he landed.

...Whether it was intentional or not, no one dared to ask.

Rhaenyla could hear the shouts of the mob at the port because the temple area was only a few steps away from the port area.

But for her, it was still a great shame!
The boy and the mercenary retreated, and the bachelor Gladys came in from the outside to report the situation.

"Princess, those mobs have been subdued, and the order in the city has been restored."

"very good."

"Then these people, do you want to... contact the... dealers in Mill or Rhys?"

Hearing this, Rhaenyla was surprised.

Gladys, you are a bachelor!

She wouldn't be surprised if Dimon suggested it instead.

But it was this gentle and polite old scholar who gave her advice, and this image did not fit her at all!
"Your Highness, population is a very precious thing, and it is a bestseller everywhere." There are only five cities in the Seven Kingdoms, and the rest are all villages and towns, not to mention the northern border and other places, which are truly vast and sparsely populated.

"Population is important, and it's expensive..." So it would be a waste to kill those mobs.

He is a bachelor, but he is not a fool, nor is he pedantic.

Westeros will also exchange large ransoms for noble captives. Although slavery is taboo in the Seven Kingdoms, this is Tyrosh.

Do as the Romans do!
The princess just asked the slave trader for the "ransom" of these people. What's the problem? These merchants and nobles might have been acquaintances of the trader before, so they should be entertained.

How to entertain them is not the business of the Seven Kingdoms.
