The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 479 Public Trial: The King's Supremacy
In the square outside the cathedral, the originally majestic and solemn square was now littered with corpses. A large number of church knights were killed. In addition to the church knights, the originally fanatical church believers also became like stray dogs, and were in a state of panic all day long.

At this moment, the priests who used to be arrogant and domineering were also scared and fled in panic. Everyone's face was full of panic.

Along the way, there were broken arms and legs everywhere, and blood slowly seeped down through the cracks in the stone slabs. The shouts and screams were still incessant, but one could sense that they were beginning to weaken.

In the cathedral, the originally holy church had now become a slaughterhouse, and a large number of fleeing knights, believers, and priests were killed directly in the church.

The hall, which was originally used for mass, was littered with dead and wounded, and the white marble was stained red with blood.

At this moment, the proud Archbishop who had just judged Cersei not long ago looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, muttering to himself:
"How dare you?"

"How dare you do this!"

"My Knights of the Cross!"

"Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the gods?"

"It's impossible, it's impossible."

"I am the spokesman of the gods. You must listen to me."

Gray Worm's iron boots stepped on the floor of the hall. At this time, a lot of blood had gathered on the floor of the hall, and it was very sticky when stepped on. It had turned into a pool of blood.

From time to time, you could step on one or two fingers in the blood. A large number of corpses fell in it, and some were even bleeding.

"High Sparrow, I am under the order of Her Majesty the Queen to eliminate and capture and kill all cult members. Now I declare that you are under arrest!" Grey Worm walked forward and said.

"Impossible, I am the spokesperson for God! You bunch of blasphemers, kneel down and repent immediately!" The High Sparrow Bishop roared madly.

Until now he still can't accept the fact that he has failed.

"Fake, fake, these are all fake!"

"This is an illusion, a wake-up call from God!" The High Sparrow said frantically, "Yes, I am in a dream! Yes, it is a dream!"

"Pa pa pa!" A loud slapping sounded.

I saw the High Sparrow assistant slapping himself madly, muttering, "Wake up, wake up quickly!"

"wake up!"

"You are so stubborn!" Grey Worm sneered, stepped forward and kicked the archbishop directly in the stomach, sending him flying several meters away.

A sharp pain came from his abdomen, and the archbishop felt as if his intestines were about to break. He lay in a pool of blood, groaning weakly.

"Go and lock him up and wait for Her Majesty the Queen to deal with him!" Grey Worm ordered.

"Yes!" Two knights stepped forward, picked up the archbishop like a chicken, and took him out.

"Search for the remaining cult survivors! Kill those who dare to resist, and lock up the rest!"

"Yes!" Accompanied by the clanging sound of armor, a large number of soldiers began a carpet search in the church area, not only the church, but also the civilians living nearby were searched.

In the melee just now, many priests, fanatical believers or church knights, seeing that Daenerys' army was unstoppable and their own side suffered heavy casualties, fled to various places to hide, and some hid in the homes of nearby residents.

Daenerys ordered a complete hunt for these people, and anyone who dared to shelter cultists, fanatics, church knights, and priests would not be let off.

This time, Daenerys wants to take the opportunity to catch all those people in the city who are inclined towards the church.

Although these people will not be killed, harboring a criminal is also a serious crime. They will either be sent to mine or exiled to remote areas.

Daenerys distributed fiefs to the knights, and many of the knights' territories had insufficient population, so these people were given to them.

These people can have great influence in King's Landing, but when they arrive in remote and wild places, they become rootless duckweed, at the mercy of local lords.

Soon a large number of church members were searched out from every corner, and some even hid in toilets and sewers, but even so, they were found one by one by the army.

In addition to these people, the church's cellars, vaults, and granaries were also taken over by the army. The church's grain, gold, and silver were also piled up like mountains.

Only with a large amount of food and money could the church easily form such a large church knight order.

The strength of this church knights is actually very elite, otherwise the church would not be able to rely on it to judge Cersei. But this knight group encountered their lifelong enemy.

The Knights of the Queen's Sword.

All the members of this knightly order were selected from slaves, and their loyalty was unquestionable. Apart from that, all of them were knights.

The church knights were just ordinary trained humans, and they were defeated by these people. A large number of priests were captured, and in addition to these people, many residents were also captured. It can be said that the church area was almost completely emptied.

After these people were captured, a large number of auxiliary soldiers began to enter the area to collect the bodies. If so many people were killed and injured in the city and were not dealt with quickly, it would be easy for a plague to break out.

Truckloads of bodies were pulled out of the church area, while water trucks brought water in one after another.

A large amount of clean water was flushed on the ground to wash away the blood stains on the ground. However, even with a large amount of water, the strong smell of blood could still be smelled.

Residents in other areas of the city pretended to be ignorant of what was happening in the church district and dared not talk about it at all.

But soon, on the third day after resolving the church district, Daenerys ordered all the residents of the city to come to the square and began public trials of those priests and bishops.

Daenerys' accusation against these people is that they used the name of gods to amass huge wealth. The people outside the city have no food or clothing, but these churches have mountains of food and money.

But they were not willing to rescue the civilians at all, and instead let them starve to death!

Inciting residents to confront the country, distorting doctrines, attempting to subvert the country, etc.

Daenerys charged these people with a large number of crimes, and also had people collect a large amount of information about officials and the church's acts of bullying and plundering.

Don’t think that these churches are good people. They have a lot of wealth, but they still continue to exploit the poor.

They squeezed money from the poor under various pretexts, or forced civilians to buy indulgences, claiming that as long as they bought indulgences, they would be able to enter heaven after death.

In order to shock the civilians, Daenerys used thirty carriages to transport a large amount of gold and silver coins and food, and piled all these things in the square.

When those impoverished civilians saw the mountains of money and food in the square, their eyes became bloodshot. If there were not a large army stationed there, these red-eyed people would have rushed up to rob.

But even so, there are still many people who subconsciously move closer here, and many more follow.

Seeing this scene, Daenerys directly ordered Drogon to fly over.

"Ang~!"

The loud roar of a dragon resounded through the sky. The people who had been dazzled by wealth suddenly saw a huge flying dragon descending from the sky, and then the powerful dragon power was instantly released.

Although Drogon's dragon might was not as strong as that of a young red dragon, he was only facing some civilians. The dragon's might was released, and instantly sobered those people up.

The trembling from the depths of everyone's soul made them subconsciously stay away.

After seeing the appearance of these people, Daenerys announced the trial of those priests. Daenerys's action was a clear response to the open trial of the queen by these churches.

Although Daenerys does not recognize Cersei as Queen and looks down on this stupid woman, she must ensure that royal power prevails over divine power.

This must be done.

If Daenerys does not want to be caught up in the power struggle between theocracy and royal power, she must trample on theocracy. In this country, only royal power is supreme.

Soon a large number of priests were brought up by soldiers, and then a judge read out the charges against them and displayed the evidence of their crimes.

In order to strip the so-called sacredness of theocracy, Daenerys has used various means. The public trial in front of her is the most important and crucial link.

These priests often bullied others, so Daenerys found a large number of victims to complain. At first, these victims did not dare to complain, so Daenerys gave them food and money, and then said that all these priests would die, and they did not have to worry about revenge, and then these people agreed.

At first, these people were still a little hesitant, but as they spoke, they became overwhelmed with grief and cried bitterly, denouncing the viciousness of these priests and their oppression and plunder.

The effect of these people's personal stories was very explosive, because many residents knew these people. They had only heard of them before, but now, listening to the stories of the parties involved, they were all naturally drawn into the story.

In just a moment, the civilians in the square were gritting their teeth and hating the priests with great hatred.

Daenerys' public trial directly brought the church's reputation to ruin, and then Daenerys ordered people to read out the decree on the spot.

"From today on, all taxation rights of all religions will be abolished. No religion is allowed to collect a single cent. All religious lands will be returned to the state and then distributed to the people in the city!"

"No religion is allowed to force others to believe in it. Abolish all church decrees!"

"The Church is not allowed to have any form of guards, knights or other armed forces. Otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion and the army will be sent to suppress it immediately!"

"All civilians who come here can receive 20 kilograms of food and two gold royals. This is the grace of Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" For a moment the square was filled with noise, and countless people knelt down to worship Her Majesty the Queen.
