iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 470 Green's Military Order

Archbishop Zari sighed: "A monk who picked up an axe is no different from a bandit. Obviously, the High Sparrow also regards himself as the leader of the bandits and points the butcher knife at the believers of the Seven Gods."

Green nodded slightly: "When the High Sparrow chose to use force to seize the Great Sept of Baelor, it was destined that the bloodshed of the Church of the Seven would continue until..."

He turned his gaze to the man beside him: "Put down your axes, monk, or you will all die."

Archbishop Zari shuddered and said quickly, "Of course, according to the teachings of the Seven Star Bible, monks should use faith as a weapon to purify the souls of the people."

He clenched his fist and said, "All the monks who picked up the axe are evil people who have betrayed the Seven Gods. They should wail forever in the seven levels of hell."

"As your friend, Kleber will continue to protect the safety of the Great Cathedral of Heron, and the 'Paladin' and 'Holy Warrior' (Chapter 416) that I left for you will also remain the same as before..."

Green patted Zari's arm: "...They are at your disposal."

Zari first bowed and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Green, then he hesitated and said, "Lord Green, I heard that you will lead 100,000 troops into King's Landing for the peace of the Seven Kingdoms..."

Seeing Green listening patiently, Zari wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and there was a hint of tears in his voice: "When I heard the news, I knelt in front of the altar of the Seven Gods and cried all night. I was so excited. God bless you, when the people of the Seven Kingdoms were struggling in misery... You came, you brought the light of hope to the desperate people of the Seven Kingdoms, you are the true savior of the Seven Kingdoms..."

Archbishop Zari paused and bowed deeply to Green: "Thank you for everything you have done for the Seven Kingdoms, Lord Green. May the gods bless you."

Green placed his hand on Archbishop Zari's thick shoulder and said gently, "May the Seven Gods have mercy on the world. I can end the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms, but I cannot appease those uneasy people without your help, especially the people of Stormland... and the people of the West."

As he finished speaking, Zari's hand trembled.

He smiled slightly and said, "Archbishop Zari, I hope that you can become one of the greatest archbishops in the history of the Church of the Seven Gods and be forever respected by the world."

Zari's face flushed, and his voice could not hide his excitement: "Lord Green, the Great Sept of Heron is at your disposal."

"very good."

Green patted Zari again, and the two of them started walking again.

The Duke's temporary tent.

Seeing Green's figure appear, Beric Dondarrion, who was studying the Dragon Horn, and the red priest Thoros saluted him (Chapter 428).

"Thank you, Berry, Soros."

The dragon's horn was placed on the table, and when Grimm came and sat down at the table, Lord Beric and the red priest also sat down.

"Have you deciphered all the runes?"

Clap, clap—the waiter brought the wine jug and glasses and poured wine for them.

"Lord Green, thank you for your trust. This interpretation will be my lifelong honor."

Green nodded his chin and signaled Sir Ange, who was standing not far away, to let everyone else leave the tent.

Then he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Please continue, loyal Soros."

Thoros stood up and pointed at the stripes covering the horn. He said slowly, "Lord Green, what this means is: I am the Dragonbinder, and the dragons obey my call."

He moved his finger down, pointing to another stripe. "No mortal can make me make a sound and live."

He moved his finger down again and continued, "Blood for fire, fire for blood."

Green's brown eyes moved slightly, and he murmured: "Fire for blood...burning blood..."

Thoros nodded his chin. "It's obvious that if a mortal blows it, he will burn to death."

After a slight pause, he continued, "It is said that among the pure-blooded descendants of the Dragon King, there is a chance that the Unburnt Ones who are not afraid of fire will appear. Perhaps the Dragon Horn is made for them."

Daenerys the Unburnt

While Green was still thinking, Lord Berry suddenly said, "Lord Green, perhaps you can let me confirm it."

Beric Dondarrion has been resurrected three times by the red priests. Obviously, he wants to dance again... in front of the Stranger's door.

Green smiled, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "Thank you for your courage, but there is no need to do this. Euron Greyjoy had someone blow the dragon horn at the king selection meeting in the Iron Islands, and the result was that the man's lungs turned into charcoal."

Lord Beric looked at Thoros beside him, and frowned, "If he is not the Unburnt, then it means that the owner of the Dragon Horn will be burned to death if he uses it?"

The red-robed priest reached out his hand again, his finger stopped at the stripe at the tail of the dragon's horn, and said, "According to the runes above, the person who blows the horn does not have to be its master, but can be someone else, and the dragon still obeys its master."

After a moment of silence, Lord Beric could not help but ask, "Thoros, how does it identify its master?"

Soros smiled slightly: "The owner of the magic horn is naturally its master."

In the afternoon, the ravens carrying the battle reports from the Twins and the Golden Tooth arrived at the Crow's Nest in Harrenhal almost at the same time.

Lord Green, who had been caressing and training the "Dragon Horn", put it back into the box, then came to the table and opened the letter.

Green first read the battle report of the Twins.

Luanhe City was forcibly captured with the help of "wildfire". In this battle, the Earl of Haijiang City suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

Green thought for a while, then picked up another battle report. Brynden Tully led soldiers disguised as Lannister fleeing soldiers and entered the Golden Tooth City smoothly and captured the castle that night.

What surprised Green a little was that Lord Brynden did not take bloody revenge on the Lannisters in the Golden Tooth.

Another important piece of information is that the gold mines near Golden Tooth City are safe and sound.

Green looked at the map on the table and pondered for a long time. Then he reached out and pulled out a blank parchment and picked up a quill.

With a wave of the quill pen, Green first wrote the order for Sir Martial Baker, the retainer knight and eldest son of Mason Baker, as the temporary governor of the Twins.

He also ordered Sir Martir to reward the entire army, including the army in Seamarsh, in his name according to their military merits with the spoils obtained in the Twins.

After stamping the paper with wax, Green pulled out another blank piece of parchment.

Tapping the table with his fingers, Green lowered his head and began to write. The recipient of this letter was his fiancée, Daenerys Targaryen, who was waiting for the wedding in the Eyrie.

When he had finished writing, Green called in Ser Anguy and bade him take the orders for the Twins to the maester.

And another letter...

Green told Ange: "Choose a small team from the tribe's soldiers, each with three horses, and have them deliver the letter to the princess in person."

Sir Ange straightened his chest and said, "As you command, I'll arrange it right away."

Finally, on the third parchment was an order for the Trout Banner to continue flying over the Golden Tooth.

The next day.

Lord Green, who claimed to lead an army of 100,000 into King's Landing... led less than 10,000 Crabbe soldiers along the King's Road and continued to march southward.

Located in the northeast of King's Landing and south of Rosby City, Crabbe Barracks.

The new commander of the "King's Landing Regiment" - Sir Monton squatted at the door of the tent, reading the Duke of Green's military orders over and over again.

Footsteps sounded, and Monton's adjutant, Sandor Clegane, walked over, paused, and said, "Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

Monton scratched his head and said, "I'm worried about how to ensure that the news is not leaked. Whether we have reinforcements or not cannot be hidden from the patrol cavalry in Rossby City."

Sandor had an ordinary-looking sword on his waist. He held the hilt with his left hand. He paused and said, "Lord Rosby dare not reveal Crabbe's information."

Monton chuckled, he stood up and patted his big thick legs: "Lord Green doesn't like that kind of people."

Sandor was silent for a moment, then said, "Everyone knows the consequences of making him unhappy."

Sir Monton chuckled again: "Lord Green is very kind to us. You are now one of us."

Sandor shrugged. "That sounds like good news."

Then, the hound was dragged into the tent by Sir Monton.

Sitting in front of a table covered with a map of King's Landing, the Hound looked a little helpless: "Ser Monton, this is the fourth identical combat meeting between the two of us."

Sir Monton scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "My mother said that I was not smart enough. She told me to think twice before doing anything important and to think through what I was going to do."

The Hound took a quick look at Monton's hilly figure and said, "She is a smart woman."

He stood up from his chair, turned his gaze to the map, and asked, "Is there anything else that worries you?"

Monton's eyes, which seemed to lack wisdom, looked at Sandor and said, "According to Lord Green's orders, we will have to bring two thousand soldiers into King's Landing every day. With the cooperation of Sir Damien (Captain of the Iron Gate Guard), I am not worried during the day... but mainly at night. Will we have too few secret passages out of the city? After all, more than two thousand people will make a lot of noise."

After a moment of silence, Sandor said, "I will split our forces. I know there is a secret passage out of the city under Aegon Plateau."

King's Landing, the Great Sept of Baelor.

Qyburn, who had disappeared for almost two days, finally appeared, and Cersei stopped to "taste" the sour and inferior wine.

As soon as the cell door closed, she couldn't wait to ask, "Coburn, what was the result of the negotiation?"

Qyburn took Cersei's hand and asked her to sit down. Then he said slowly, "Your Majesty, I met with Grand Maester Pycelle, Prime Minister Harris, and Lord Gyles respectively. They all rejected your proposal."

Cersei suppressed the urge to raise her cup and said with anger, "Will a pardon not satisfy them? What else do they want?"

Coben shook his head slightly. “Your proposal is attractive enough, but they don’t have the courage to turn this sacred place into a slaughterhouse.”
