Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

"This is the information about King's Landing that Balin just sent over. Please take a look at it!" Linde summoned his subordinates and handed them the documents in his hands.

After everyone took the document, they looked at it carefully, with expressions of surprise and worry on their faces.

"Tell me what you think!" After everyone had read the document, Linde asked, "Tell me what you think."

Bert Falwell was the first to speak: "Judging from Duke Tywin's character and temperament, he will definitely avenge his heir's kidnapping. War is inevitable. Even if King Robert wakes up, he may not be able to stop the war." , You must know that the Reyes family was just humiliated by attitude and words, and they had already ushered in Duke Tywin's genocide revenge. Now Lady Caitlin's kidnapping of the heir to Casterly Rock is much more serious than that. "

"I also think that war is inevitable, but I don't think that Duke Tywin launched the war just for revenge." Jon also expressed his analysis, saying: "The West has always been suitable for the Riverlands in recent years. The cultivated land is coveted, and various small actions have never stopped. Now Lady Catelyn has just given him the most suitable excuse, whether it is to go to the north and directly attack the Stark family's territory, or to go to the valley to rescue His heirs all need to pass through the Riverlands so that he can legitimately lead his troops into the Riverlands."

"Don't forget, Lady Catelyn's last name is Tully, which is also a good excuse." Moose added.

Jason Fried, who had recently become the Army Commander of Summer Hall, was also qualified to participate in this meeting. He used his military qualities to analyze the current situation, and then said: "I received intelligence some time ago, and He Lord Hoster Tully, Duke of Riverrun, has become seriously ill and is unable to govern. All affairs in the territory have been handed over to Edmure Tully. Edmure Tully has made several comments about peasant land and He sided with the peasants in the ruling on public security matters, which offended the lord of the Riverlands. His control over the Riverlands also had problems. Duke Tywin is now leading troops into the Riverlands. Although it is not the best time, But it’s also very appropriate.”

"It seems that you all believe that this war will inevitably break out." After listening to everyone's analysis, Linde asked: "Then when do you think it will officially break out?"

Several people looked at each other and said in unison: "When the king passes away."

After hearing this, Linde fell silent.

"Sir, should we make preparations?" Balin asked after seeing that Linde had not spoken for a long time.

Linde asked: "What are you preparing for?"

"Whose side are we on?" Balin asked.

Everyone looked at Balin in surprise. Obviously Balin should not ask such a question. Balin also realized the problem, and the blood on his face disappeared instantly and became a little pale.

Linde looked at Bahrain thoughtfully and said: "You have to take out all the bribes you have received this year. In addition, you have to pay a fine twice the amount of the bribes. Your position will be temporarily replaced by a deputy. You go to the Salvation Temple to accept it." Punishment trial, when Elder Colin thinks you have passed the trial, when will you resume your duties? If you never pass the trial, then you will stay in the Redemption Temple forever!"

"Yes, sir." After hearing this, Balin breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting Linde, he turned and walked out of the study, returning to the headquarters to hand over the matters at hand. There was no resistance in the whole process.

Watching Balin leave, Linde couldn't help but rub his forehead, and then said to the others present: "I'll say it again, I don't care what you collect or who you collect it from, but the premise is that it is not allowed to harm the interests of Shengxia Hall. ,Understand?"

"Understood, sir." Everyone bowed their heads and responded.

Linde returned to the topic and made a decision, saying: "We will not participate in this war, continue to observe, be prepared to receive refugees, and send an army of 5,000 people to Bailu Wenda to garrison Tengshi Town. These five Thousands of people plus Tengshi Town’s original 5,000-person garrison should be enough to deal with some accidents.”

"Accident?" Musi was stunned and asked, "Will they attack Tengshi Town again?"

Linde said in a deep voice: "Be prepared, because there are always some crazy guys on the battlefield."

After saying that, he ordered everyone to go down and do their work, and he sat on the chair and picked up the intelligence document on the table again, looking at the information on Robert's assassination.

The situation in King's Landing can be said to be changing rapidly. As the news came out that Eddard Stark had placed the queen and the king's children under house arrest, Tywin Lannister, the already impatient Guardian of the West and Duke of Casterly Rock, began to A tentative invasion of the Riverlands.

He sent two vicious dogs, Gregor Clegane and Amory Lodge, disguised as thieves, from the King's Road north into Stone Pond Town, killed Sir Wilbert, the lord of Stone Pond Town, and then followed the On the north bank of the Blackwater River, villages and towns along the way were looted, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

Some of the surviving farmers in the Riverlands went to Riverrun to complain, and some went to King's Landing to complain.

After Riverrun learned of the situation, they immediately sent people to summon the ministers to prepare for the battle with the West. On the other hand, in King's Landing, after Eddard Stark learned of the situation, he sent Beric Dondarrion, who was serving as a sinecure in King's Landing. He and the red-robed monk Thoros led a group of mercenary knights to form a capture team and went to the Riverlands to capture the Magic Mountain. They also allocated a group of their own few northern warriors to the two of them.

Not long after Beric Dondarrion left King's Landing, King Robert, who had been unconscious for several days, regained consciousness. When he was awake, he left a will and passed the throne to Joffrey Baratheon. Let Eddard Stark remain regent of the kingdom until Joffrey comes of age.

However, when Joffrey succeeded to the throne, Eddard Stark claimed that King Robert had passed the throne to his younger brother Stannis Baratheon. When Robert read his will, Fearless, who was also present Barristan immediately refuted Ed's statement and accused Ed of being hypocritical.

Subsequently, Queen Cersei led the dignitaries of King's Landing who opposed Eddard's regency, and the golden robes she bribed, besieged Eddard and his men, and finally captured him. He was imprisoned in the dungeon for usurping the throne, and then Joffr Li also successfully ascended the throne and became Joffrey I, the second monarch of the Baratheon dynasty.

In the process, Renly escaped from King's Landing with Loras Tyrell, returned to Storm's End, and gathered his ministers.

Although Lind had almost lord-like influence and control over the major lords in the Stormlands, these lords still nominally obeyed the orders of the Duke of Storm's End, so they all went to Storm's End, and under Renly's If requested, pledge allegiance to him.

Loras Tyrell also returned to Highgarden by water overnight, and then a letter was delivered from Highgarden to Lynd's desk.

Lind picked up Garlan Tyrell's letter and looked at it. The content was just as he thought, asking him for his views on Robert's death, Eddard's imprisonment, Joffrey's ascension to the throne, etc. Although It's just asking for his opinion on these things, but really it's asking him how he wants to choose a side.

Obviously Highgarden did not immediately turn to Renly because of their relationship with Renly and Loras as a lobbyist. They still had expectations for Joffrey, because Little Rose Margaery Tilly You and Joffrey are still engaged, and now that Joffrey has ascended the throne, as long as Joffrey maintains the engagement, then Highgarden is a natural henchman and there is no way he will side with Renly.

Lind had no intention of answering Garland's questions one by one. He only wrote in his reply that as long as it did not affect the plan to fight the White Walkers, he would not participate in the internal battles of the Seven Kingdoms, nor would he take sides.

After writing this reply, Lind left the study and went to the dragon's nest in the castle. He ordered someone to equip the lava dragon Neltharion with a specially made dragon saddle, then he got on the lava dragon and walked out of the dragon's lair. He spread his wings and jumped out from the cliff, and after gliding in the sky above Redemption Town, he flew towards King's Landing City.

Although the palace coup that broke out in the Red Keep has ended, and the new king has ascended to the Iron Throne, the aftermath has not ended, and continues to spread outward with the Red Keep as the center.

The residents of King's Landing City were the first to bear the brunt. Originally, the people of King's Landing City thought that the power struggle in the palace had nothing to do with them, and they were just spectators. However, what they did not expect was that after Joffrey ascended the throne, he immediately began to take action against the power struggle in King's Landing City. People went through a wave of purges.

All the dignitaries, businessmen and even ordinary people who had befriended Eddard Stark when he served as Hand of the King and Regent of the Kingdom were arrested and charged with usurping the country.

Originally, Jinpao wanted to arrest people based on evidence, but with the emergence of some interests, the arrest became groundless. As long as they think you are, you are. Many of them were unjustly imprisoned, and their family property was also stolen. The robe was confiscated, and part of it went into the pocket of the gold robe, while the other part was given to Cersei and Joffrey.

Gavin was just an ordinary blacksmith on Steel Street. He didn't know Duke Eddard Stark at all, but when the Golden Robes found him, they accused him of being an accomplice of usurping the country, just because of Eddard Stark's The servant sent Ed Stark's long sword scabbard to him for repair.

At that time, Jinpaozi was about to arrest him. He knew very well that once Jinpaozi was caught in the prison, he would never be able to come out again, so he took advantage of Jinpaozi's unpreparedness and knocked over the two captors, and then used his strength to attack the surrounding people. The environment was familiar and he escaped the pursuit of the golden robe.

However, even if he escaped capture, he was still in great danger, because Jinpao had blocked all the city gates and only allowed in, but not out. He had no way to escape. Once Jinpao was under full martial law, he would be searched. Prosecutor, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.

Therefore, he must now find a place that the golden robes dare not search and can provide him with shelter. There is only one place in King's Landing, and that is the Great Temple of Baelor.

Thinking of this, he immediately stole a piece of clothing, then disguised himself as a homeless man and walked along the path of Steel Street towards the Great Cathedral of Baelor.

Originally, he planned to enter the interior of the Great Cathedral through the back door of the Great Cathedral of Baelor, but the back door was now blocked and there were golden robes guarding the door, so he had to go through the front door.

At the front gate, there were several teams of gold robes patrolling back and forth, and there were also gold robes standing guard in the square in front of the gate, because at this moment King Robert's body was placed in the Great Sept, waiting to be buried in the royal tomb.

Under such circumstances, the Great Cathedral would basically not receive outsiders. Gavin obviously did not think of this and walked directly into the Great Cathedral, so he was quickly stopped by the golden robe.

At first, the golden robe thought that Gavin was just an ordinary believer, so he just used a spear to drive him away. However, he soon found that Gavin looked strange and looked very panicked, so he stopped him and prepared to ask.

Gavin was also completely panicked. He never thought that he would be seen through by the golden robe. The hand in his sleeve also held a wooden stick tightly, preparing to knock it over when the golden robe was not paying attention, and then escape again.

However, the golden robes and the sudden screams from the people in Baylor Square not far away made Gavin and the golden robes who stopped him couldn't help but look over there, and then they saw countless people pointing their fingers. Staring at the sky, shouting loudly.

The two of them followed everyone's fingers and looked up into the sky. They saw a huge, weird dragon gliding through the air. It circled a few times over the Great Temple of Baelor and then headed towards the Great Temple of Baelor. It fell on the square.

The power of the dragon's fall and the ferocious appearance of the dragon itself completely frightened everyone. They fled towards the buildings and alleys around the square, but after escaping for a distance, they all invariably He stopped and peeked towards the square.

After the dragon landed, it spread its wings diagonally on the ground. Then a knight in gorgeous armor stood up from the dragon's back, stepped on the dragon's wings, and walked to the ground. Then he walked along the steps towards the Cathedral of Baelor.

Seeing the dragon master leaving, some people couldn't help asking: "Who is that? Is it a member of the Targaryen family?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that is Lord Linde Terra, the God's Chosen One." A believer of the Seven Gods immediately retorted: "As we all know, Lord Linde Terra has tamed a sea dragon, a giant dragon, and this is obviously that giant dragon. ”

At this time, someone couldn't help but muttered: "This dragon looks so weird! It feels like a resurrected undead dragon."

Someone immediately retorted: "Shut up, is that an undead dragon? That is a power given by God."

Linde ignored the movement behind him and came directly to the door of the Great Temple of Baylor. At this time, the monks in the Great Temple had been alarmed by the dragon and stood at the door one after another. When they saw Linde coming over, They all saluted Lin De.

"Is King Robert's body in the Great Sept?" Lind asked.

The archbishop lowered his head in an extremely humble manner and replied: "In the wake hall, but His Majesty's body is a bit rotten, even if you use spices..."

Lynde raised his hand to stop the High Bishop from continuing, and then asked a monk to take him to King Robert's coffin.

Soon he came to the wake hall where the coffin was parked. As the Archbishop said, Robert's body was highly decomposed, causing a stench to envelope the wake hall. However, there were still some silent sisters next to Robert's body. To perform the sacraments for him.

Lind walked directly to King Robert's coffin. Looking at Robert lying in a large amount of spices, he sighed and put his hand on the coffin. Then he saw that the coffin was gradually covered with a layer of ice, and finally formed There was an ice coffin, and the surrounding stench gradually weakened.

After completing all this, Linde did not disturb the Silent Sisters' ceremony, but sat on the stone steps aside, sitting quietly like this.
