"Old man, you're courting death."
The internal affairs agent, dressed in black and wearing a mask, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze icy.
He had seen many courageous and tough mobs, but none of them could withstand Lord Rams's methods when they were thrown into the Ministry of Internal Affairs' prison. They either walked out alive or suffered a fate worse than death.
"Kill him!"
The head of the secret service team from the Ministry of Internal Affairs decisively gave the order.
The next second, the spies behind him raised their crossbows and aimed them at the old sparrow that was pouncing on him, and the bowstrings snapped open.
Puff puff--
Several sharp crossbow bolts pierced his chest, pinning the sparrow to the wall, and blood gushed out instantly.
The old sparrow, dressed in coarse cloth, stared wide-eyed. He hadn't expected the group of men in black to be so decisive in killing, not even blinking an eye.
However, what he didn't know was that this was already the greatest favor the other party could do; otherwise, being thrown into the Ministry of Internal Affairs' prison would probably have meant a fate worse than death.
"Father!"
Meanwhile, the old sparrow's son saw his father wounded by an arrow and was filled with shock and rage. He rushed over, wanting to fight these people to the death.
However, they didn't even have the right to fight to the death against the fully armed golden-robed man. His fists struck the armor without moving, and instead scratched and cut his palms.
Then, under the cold gaze of the other party, he was pierced through the chest with a spear and fell into a pool of blood.
"Your Majesty has an order!"
"Your Majesty has an order!"
"Arrest all rioters involved in the unrest!"
The soldiers of the capital's garrison, clad in gleaming armor and wielding blood-stained spears, roared menacingly.
"Anyone who dares to obstruct me shall die!"
The Golden Robes have undergone a complete transformation under the guidance and training of the Unsullied, and are now completely different from the corrupt and ineffective army they once were.
Those remnants of the military have long been purged, or forced to desert because they couldn't endure the brutal training.
The remaining soldiers and newly recruited troops now form a disciplined and highly effective capital city garrison.
"My son!"
"You heretics...you will surely be punished by the gods!"
The old sparrow stared wide-eyed as she watched her son and daughter-in-law die tragically at the hands of their attacker, blood gushing from her mouth as she cursed and swore.
Whether he regretted it or not, his son and daughter-in-law had advised him to stay away from those big sparrows, but he stubbornly challenged worldly power for the sake of an unseen and intangible god.
In the end, the gods he believed in did not stand up to protect him. Instead, the soldiers' sharp spears pierced their chests, and the gushing blood blocked their tracheas, which also implicated their son and daughter-in-law. Then, the old sparrow breathed his last unwillingly.
However, a similar scene was playing out simultaneously in other parts of King's Landing.
"The capital city garrison!"
"Open the door!"
bang——
The people inside were terrified and dared not open the door, so the soldiers kicked the door open and rushed in.
Swish swish swish—
Squads of fully armed men in golden robes marched in orderly formation through the streets and alleys of King's Landing, their menacing aura causing panic among the common people and merchants.
Then they would occasionally find a spot, kick down the door, and break in to capture the sparrows who had participated in the riots.
Countless sparrows were caught, lined up, and escorted to prison for trial, while others were killed on the spot.
The main gathering place for the sparrows in King's Landing who call themselves the 'Knights of the Holy Sword' is, of course, the flea nest.
This place is also suspected to be the hideout of the bandit leader, the High Sparrow. Moreover, it is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including thieves, robbers, rapists, and the poorest people in King's Landing. It is definitely a black hole in the city's security.
The commander of the capital's garrison had long been troubled by this and wanted to find an opportunity to eradicate these problems with swift and decisive action.
Therefore, Black Bug personally took command of the capital's garrison, mobilizing the largest force to surround Flea Nest from all sides of the streets.
To ensure that this battle proceeds without any unexpected incidents and is a resounding success, the leader of the rioters, known as the "High Sparrow," and his henchmen will be captured, and all the gray forces entrenched in the area will be wiped out.
Then the war of 'anti-gang operation' broke out. The soldiers of the capital garrison lined up in formation, wearing armor and holding spears, and advanced into the flea nest.
"drink!"
"drink!"
"drink!"
The large number of sparrows that had taken up residence there tried to fight back, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they were quickly killed and scattered in all directions.
However, it was only then that they realized they were surrounded by enemies, and there was no way for them to escape.
"Spare me!"
Some collapsed, wept bitterly, and knelt down to beg for mercy, while others fought back desperately and were killed on the spot. The sparrows either died or were captured.
However, after a day had passed, the soldiers of the capital's garrison had completely cleaned up the flea nest.
However, they couldn't find the leader of the mob, 'The High Sparrow,' who seemed to have been well-informed and had already escaped from King's Landing.
Chapter 559 Miracle
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
“Our dereliction of duty allowed the leader of the mob, that ‘big sparrow,’ to escape.”
Inside the Red Keep, Black Bug knelt on one knee, his face filled with remorse. He had promised Viserys that he would wipe out these scum, but he hadn't expected that the bandit leader would still escape.
Of course, perhaps having heard rumors beforehand, the High Sparrow also had quite a few 'friends' in King's Landing, and some people were secretly supporting him. Otherwise, the so-called Knights of the Holy Sword could not have developed so rapidly, exceeding all reason, and even be able to give him rice porridge and meat soup every day.
These all need to be investigated further.
Ramsay also knelt before the Iron Throne, with bonfires burning brightly on either side. He repeatedly kowtowed to Viserys, assuring him that he would find the High Sparrow and expose all of the High Sparrow's 'friends' in the court.
However, the silver-haired youth, dressed in a brocade robe, sat on the cold iron throne, his long, soft, silver-gold hair cascading over his shoulders.
The surrounding firelight illuminated his handsome face and the somber hall.
"Oh?"
"The big sparrow ran away?"
His expression was calm, as if he had long anticipated that the Great Sparrow would slip away unnoticed.
After all, the Great Sparrow's eloquence inspired many poor people at the bottom of society to follow him, and these people were his best informants.
The High Sparrow would know about any slight movement in King's Landing before Viserys even noticed it.
His escape was not too unexpected for Viserys.
"It's alright."
Then the silver-haired young man sitting on the Iron Throne slightly gripped the armrest of the throne.
He can't escape...
Viserys's pale purple eyes suddenly shone brightly, like two purple flames burning.
Call ~
Images flashed rapidly in his pupils, as if time was flowing backward until it finally settled precisely on a certain moment.
"High Sparrow!"
A man dressed in coarse cloth ran up to warn the great sparrow, and the gray-haired old man was shocked to hear this.
He wanted to warn all the sparrows to leave in advance, but the man stopped him, warning him that if he made any noise beforehand, he would alert the enemy and might not be able to escape.
After hearing the man's words, the Great Sparrow pondered for a long time before finally gritting its teeth and agreeing to his plan.
"it is good!"
The High Sparrow then greeted all his fervent followers as if nothing had happened, before disappearing into a kitchen and never coming out again.
Beneath the kitchen was a tunnel leading to a house outside the flea nest. The great sparrow crawled out of the tunnel, where a carriage was already waiting.
The High Sparrow then did not show itself outside, but boarded the carriage without stopping. They did not head towards the city gate, as carriages would be inspected there, but instead headed towards Fishermen's Square in King's Landing.
This is the southernmost gate of King's Landing, the Rivergate. It is right next to the Blackwater River, a place where fishing and aquatic products are abundant. Among the people of King's Landing, it is also known as the Mudgate.
This is the best route for smuggling goods out of King's Landing. The High Sparrow appeared near the Mud Gate in a carriage.
He then left King's Landing through a smuggling tunnel, where a small wooden boat was already waiting. The High Sparrow boarded the boat once more and disappeared completely from the water.
Viserys traveled through time using the power of the Old Gods. Although he had no medium, he used the Iron Throne beneath him as an anchor point to turn back time to yesterday. In yesterday's time, he arrived at the flea nest and found the High Sparrow.
The silver-haired youth followed the High Sparrow the entire way, watching how he slipped away from King's Landing under the watchful eyes of Varys's little bird and Ramsay's Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Great Sparrow's series of brilliant maneuvers were not something a powerless and insignificant cultivator like himself should have been able to accomplish.
Viserys knew that he must have some powerful ruling entity backing him.
who can that be?
A quick check will reveal the answer.
However, Viserys doesn't want to continue time travel to find the nobles who secretly support the High Sparrow. These tasks can be left to Ramsay to investigate. The most urgent task is to recapture the escaped High Sparrow.
The silver-haired youth, seated high on the Iron Throne, gripped the cold armrest with one hand, his eyes flashing with pale purple flames.
Below, in the silent throne room, the only sound was the crackling of the campfire. The two kneeling figures looked up and saw what was happening. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised horror.
"This is..."
However, at that moment, the pale purple flames in Viserys' eyes suddenly vanished, returning to tranquility.
"Got you!"
Then the silver-haired youth, holding onto the cold armrests, rose to his feet from the Iron Throne. His calm voice echoed repeatedly in the empty hall.
Call ~
Then Viserys's figure turned into a cloud of black mist before the eyes of Black Bug and Rammus, disappearing without a trace.
Only the flames inside the hall burned slowly, and the Iron Throne, which was placed in the center of the hall beneath the three-headed fire dragon brocade, was empty.
