Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 93. The Big Sparrow Waiting for the Opportunity
There are seven ministers in total in the imperial council in King's Landing.

Merson Hubbard, Prime Minister; Lalu Guerrero, Admiral in Gold Robe; Micia Valencia, Admiral of the Navy; Christopher Haddad, Chancellor of the Exchequer; Cahalman Lucero, Captain of the Kingsguard.

Lalu Guerrero is Cersei's golden-cloaked commander-in-chief.

After Cersei dismissed the imperial meeting, Lalu returned to the residence, changed into plain clothes and hurried out.

Along the way, he came to the Great Cathedral of Baylor 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 did Cersei summon you for?" The person who asked was the big sparrow.

Lalu is actually a High Sparrow!

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

"My lord pope!" A frenzy flashed in Lalu's eyes, "Cersei wants to attack the Crab Claw Peninsula, she thinks the Crab Claw Peninsula is the gateway to the king's land, if she doesn't take it back, the king's land will always be in danger! "

A look of shock flashed across the face of the Big Sparrow, "What are you talking about, Cersei wants to take back the Crab Claw Peninsula? She didn't take advantage of the time when the army in the river was heading north to sneak attack, but now? What is she thinking?"

But a flash of excitement flashed across the face of the random big sparrow, and he suddenly realized that this was his chance!
As long as Theon cripples the army of the Stormlands, the Stormlands directly under the Iron Throne will return to the dilapidated state a few years ago. At that time, it will be his chance for the Great Sparrow to override the kingship!

When Stormland was disabled at the beginning, the Big Sparrow didn't have enough strength to operate. Later, Stormland slowly regained its vitality, so that the Big Sparrow was not absolutely sure.

But now there is an excellent opportunity in front of him. Once the Stormland under Tommen's direct control is crippled, coupled with the almost useless royal nobles, he is absolutely sure that the divine power will override the imperial power. .

What's more, Jinpao is his own person, and with the power of Jinpao and the armed forces of the Sparrow Cult, he can completely control King's Landing.

While the Big Sparrow was planning secretly, Cahalman Lucero, captain of the Kingsguard, hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it back to the Western Territory.

Cahalman only hoped that the letter would be sent back to Kevan Lannister as soon as possible, so he had to make some preparations in advance. With the current situation of the Iron Throne, it would be somewhat unwise to go to war with the army of the Riverlands.

The naval commander, Micia Valencia, wrote a letter. Micia came to an alley and threw the letter into the trash.

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

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

Presently a raven flew west from the tavern yard.

a day later.

Kevan Lannister in the Western Territory and Theon Greyjoy in the Iron Islands learned of Cersei's movements one after another.

For this reason, the two sides began to prepare for this situation.

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

Christopher was originally an aristocrat in the Reach Land. The fief is extremely rich and the family's financial resources are astonishing. However, due to the strict aristocratic system, he has never had the opportunity to improve his fief and title as an earl.

And his territory is being watched by surrounding earls and marquises all the time.

For this reason, he spent a lot of money to make connections, and ended up becoming a chancellor of finance, although for an earl, the position of chancellor of finance is not low, and he is eligible to participate in the imperial meeting.

But after all, he was just a man in charge of money, and he really didn't have much real power. This was far from the position he expected as the commander of the golden robe.

Just at this time, Cersei approached him and promised him the position of Marquis, and would give him the post of Lord of the Navy in the future.

Facing Cersei's coercion and temptation, it is undeniable that Christopher was moved.

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

While Cersei listened to Christopher's report on Rose's intelligence, Olenna was also discussing Christopher.

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

"Should we really leave Christopher alone?" Margaery asked worriedly.

However, unlike Margaery who was worried, Olenna still had a face of indifference, "After all, I'm just an earl, occupying one of the most affluent places in the Reach, and I definitely don't feel safe in my heart."

Olenna looked disdainful. This kind of person occupies one of the most fertile lands. Not only does he not want to strengthen his own military strength, but instead seeks protection from others, it is extremely ridiculous!
"My family, he didn't get absolute protection, so he set his sights on the Iron Throne, expecting Cersei to give him protection, and he didn't even know what kind of person Cersei was."

Olenna took Margaery's hands and taught: "You have to understand that only being strong is the real security, especially when your wealth is so much that you attract attention, you have to become extraordinarily powerful, otherwise rely on Others, after all, are fish on the cutting board!"

"Just like Theon Greyjoy?" Margaery asked curiously.

"That's right, just like that little sea monster, if it hadn't been for two years after his rise, I would never have let you marry Tommen."

"Tomen is a good king, he is very obedient, but because of this, for Cersei, he is also a good and obedient boy!" Olenna said unhurriedly.

Margaery said in amazement: "I want to be the queen, do you really think Theon said that the queen can withstand the siege of the Iron Throne?"

"Siege?" Olenna shook her head.

"Who is going to besiege the Throne of Salt, which occupies the Riverlands, the North, and the Iron Islands?"

"Our Reach?"

"Western Territory?"

"Valley?"

"Or royal territory and stormland?"

Olenna mentioned several places in a row, but Margaery thought it was really impossible to encircle and suppress the Riverlands.

"Sigh, I have missed the best time. The development of the river land is too fast. There are at least 13 full-time soldiers. According to intelligence, a soldier can earn at least [-] golden dragons a year. It is conceivable that Sean gave Ray Joy a yearly reward." How much money is on the army!"

"And since Theon can get at least 130 million golden dragons to invest in the army, it means he has more money to build weapons and strengthen the castle!"

"The Reach just heard about Essos from the caravan. Do you know what the Iron Fleet's 2 ships and [-] people are doing?"

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

"He went to capture Astapor, and then said that Yunkai stole his refined salt technology, and he sent troops to sneak attack first, and then declared it to the outside world after the soldiers approached the city."

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