Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

It could be said that he was more deserving of the title of monk than any of the monks in the Great Cathedral of Baelor, including the archbishop.

Because it can't get any worse. The current archbishop is like a fat pig that can wear clothes and talk, dressed in a gorgeous robe and wearing an exquisite crystal crown.

There were even rumors that the archbishop frequented a high-class brothel in King's Landing.

He was the most extravagant customer here, often entering through the back door and then booking the entire brothel, driving away the other customers, which aroused the dissatisfaction of others.

However, although the believers had high hopes for this virtuous monk, the "High Sparrow," they dared not stand up to support him at this time.

Yesterday, the spies from the Ministry of the Interior and the soldiers of the capital's garrison had just wiped out the sparrows in King's Landing, leaving the city in a bloodbath and littered with corpses. Many civilians witnessed this scene and even applauded.

Now, if believers dare to stand up and support the High Sparrow, wouldn't that be like lighting a lamp in a toilet—looking for trouble?

The true and devout followers of the Seven Gods could only secretly pray that the High Sparrow would escape this calamity and change the corrupt and decadent style of the church.

However, the believers' prayers did not seem to work, and the seven gods did not send down their holy light to protect the high sparrow.

The news of his death spread throughout King's Landing the next day. The High Sparrow's body was found outside the city in a magnificent manor, a stark contrast to the image he cultivated of being honest, frugal, and dedicated to serving the people.

Moreover, the High Sparrow died from internal strife within the so-called religious armed group, which seems to have resulted in problems such as unequal distribution of benefits.

But that's just speculation. No one knows why they started fighting amongst themselves, but the fact that the High Sparrow owns a magnificent manor is undeniable.

The Seven Gods followers who had prayed for him not long ago were greatly disappointed upon hearing the news.

It turns out that the infamous High Sparrow was no different from those monks and bishops who held their positions without doing any work; they were birds of a feather, except that the High Sparrow was better at hiding and had a greater talent for performing.

The High Sparrow's reputation was so bad that people's disappointment with the church continued to decline.

As the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, King's Landing is a place of constant political upheaval, requiring utmost caution and trepidation. Otherwise, the slightest misstep could lead to utter destruction and disgrace.

If the High Sparrow hadn't so easily ventured into the Targaryen royal domain, it might not have met with such a swift and devastating blow.

No matter the world or the era, the issue of royal succession is never something to be taken lightly.

This monk, who was destined to seize a historical opportunity and become an archbishop, could face certain death if he made a single wrong step.

The aftermath of this incident in King's Landing was far from over. Ramsay continued to follow the trail, searching for the influential friends who had sponsored the High Sparrow.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

bang——

The Ministry of the Interior's spies moved out in the dead of night, like ghosts seeking death, breaking down the gates of the magnificent courtyards of King's Landing, and then taking their masters away with a wave of their hands.

"Ministry of Internal Affairs, please!"

"take away!"

Based on evidence and clues, they arrested several high-ranking officials and nobles in King's Landing and imprisoned them in the Ministry of the Interior's dungeons without any formal trial procedures.

For the Ministry of the Interior, all orders came from the King, and the King's orders were the law; his order to arrest someone was the final judgment of the gods.

Countless high-ranking officials and nobles in King's Landing have been purged, and the underground dungeons of the Ministry of the Interior have been filled to capacity.

Ramsay Snow also personally took charge of the interrogation throughout the night. His interrogation skills had always been unparalleled in the Seven Kingdoms, and his ability to torture people was even more professional than Oberyn's.

The methods of rip-offs are extremely cruel, often not only harming the body but also touching the soul, enough to cause a person's mental defenses to collapse in the shortest amount of time.

After his severe torture, these people spilled the beans, revealing even more people involved, even including a free trade city-state overseas.

But it wasn't Braavos; after being taught a lesson by Viserys last time, Braavos had become much more cautious.

...

A bloody storm erupted in King's Landing.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the last of the Seven Kingdoms, the banner of resistance against the Iron Throne still flies.

The nobles of the valley have united to form an allied army, which, under the leadership of Earl Jon Royce, leader of the League of Justice, is attacking Seagull Town.

However, the war did not go very smoothly, mainly because bad news from all seven kingdoms came like snowflakes, which greatly affected the morale of the soldiers.

Stormlands fell, Stannis killed his own family to seize the city, and then he was assassinated.

The Reach was conquered, the Tyrells were almost wiped out, and the Hightowers of Oldtown were also destroyed.

The Lannister family in the Westerlands was wiped out.

This series of devastating news indicates that the Targaryen army is advancing with unstoppable momentum, rapidly destroying all rebel resistance, wiping out countless ancient families, and leaving only the Vale unconquered.

However, while the Vale nobles were fighting amongst themselves in Eyrie, the Targaryen navy annihilated the Vale's navy and captured Gulltown, the Vale's largest city.

The nobles of the League of Justice then remembered that they needed to unite to face their main enemy.

However, with the Vale army unable to break through the Targaryen forces' control for a long time, coupled with a series of bad news from the outside world, the morale of the Vale army began to waver, and the nobles of the League of Justice gradually began to split.

Some nobles advocated surrendering to the Iron Throne, while others advocated negotiating and fighting for their rights. The rest vowed to resist to the death and refused to surrender.

The nobles of the valley each had their own ideas, and they argued endlessly without reaching a conclusion.

Meanwhile, Littlefinger Petyr Baelish continued to work tirelessly, exacerbating the conflicts among the Vale nobles and guiding events under his control.

Count Jon Royce, leader of the League of Justice, was once a staunch opponent of the Iron Throne, but now he is somewhat wavering.

He intended to make contact with Viserys and sell himself for a good price in exchange for the title of ruler of the Vale.

At the same time, he also firmly controlled the Duke's widow and young son, so that he could more legitimately take over the Eyrie and become the future master of the Vale.

But there are many others who share the same idea as Jon Reus.

Apart from the Allied forces' deputy commander-in-chief, 'Blackfish' Brynden Tully, he was truly single-mindedly focused on avenging his brother, without any ulterior motives.

However, one day, an accident suddenly occurred.

Chapter 562 Intensification of Conflict

The Valley Alliance army was besieging Seagull Town. One night, inside the camp of the Runestone City army.

"Lord Jon Royce."

The young Duchess of the Eyrie looked tired and haggard, but she still forced a smile.

Primarily due to her lover's coercion, Petyr constantly instilled in her the idea of ​​obedience and used psychological manipulation, coupled with the power of love, Lysa Tully abandoned her thinking and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the beautiful future her lover described.

In Petyr's account, he will become the master of the valley in the future, and Lysa will marry for love.

Even though she was pinned down and forced to have sex with other men, and even subjected to more perverse acts, and suffered all kinds of humiliation, Petyr promised Lysa that he would never hold it against her. He said that the pain and humiliation Lysa suffered was only temporary, and that the future would surely bring light, and that she would become a true noblewoman of the Eyrie.

Therefore, Lysa looked at the Earl of Runestone, who, although he was getting on in years, was still vigorous and energetic. Then, with tears in her eyes, she took off her clothes and seduced Jon Royce into bed.

Count Jon Reus was indeed not as upright as he appeared to be.

He once forced a handsome young man to marry his daughter, who was as robust as himself, because his daughter liked the man. Count Jon also used this opportunity to seize the man's family's business and bring it under his control.

Moreover, he was one of Lady Lysa's suitors, and the two had already slept together several times when they were in the Eyrie.

Therefore, the Earl of Runestone had no suspicions.

...

Meanwhile, night fell over the camp of the League of Justice, and the torches of the servants dispelled the darkness.

"Think about it some more, Lord Brynden Tully."

Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, impeccably dressed and polite, stopped in his tracks and spoke.

Beside him stood 'Blackfish' Brynden Tully, his brow furrowed and his face grim.

He didn't particularly like Littlefinger, but out of basic politeness, he nodded slightly.

"Yes, Lord Petyr, I understand."

Petyr ignored Sir Blackfish's impatient tone and simply smiled slightly.

"Since that's the case..."

"grown ups."

He then nodded politely and led his attendants to take their leave.

Littlefinger disappeared into the darkness, while Brynden Tully, the Blackfish, frowned as he watched Petyr Baelish's departing figure.

He had a bad feeling for some reason.

He always felt that Petyr's words had a hidden meaning.

It was quite obvious that Brynden Tully disliked this man.

Petyr Baelish was fostered by the Tully family as a child. Brynden met him many times and was very kind to him. Petyr was intelligent, quick-witted, and knew how to please people. Even Ser Blackfish once regarded him as his junior.

However, this adopted son took the 'first blood' of a Tully girl, Lysa Tully, who later married into the Eyrie and became pregnant.

Petyr Baelish even went so far as to propose to his brother, wanting to marry Lysa's sister, Catelyn Tully, and claiming that he had also taken Catelyn's virginity.

A foster son in Riverrun, the son of a small, insignificant family on the Fingers Peninsula, dares to seduce both the noble Tully sisters.

Lord Horst Tully was naturally furious, and he banished Littlefinger from Riverrun. He later found his daughter a husband of equal status, Jon Arryn, Duke of the Vale, who cared little about her virginity but only about her status and fertility.

Meanwhile, Ser Brynden Tully, the "Blackfish," was having a falling out with his brother at that time, and took the opportunity to escort his niece away from Riverrun to the Vale.

He swore allegiance to Jon Arryn and was knighted as a Bloodgate Knight.

Brynden Tully loved his niece dearly, so he naturally despised this hypocrite who had defiled his niece's little finger.

"Humph--"

"Making a mystery out of nothing."

Watching Petyr Baelish's disappearing figure, Ser Blackfish snorted coldly, no longer thinking about what the other had just said. He then pressed the hilt of his sword at his waist, turned around, and walked into the military camp.

The Vale army's camps were organized by clans, with each clan separate from the others and not integrated, unlike the unified camps of the Targaryen army.

Brynden Tully, the "Blackfish," did not have many soldiers under his command as a Bloodgate Knight, but he had borrowed several thousand men from Storm's End before Renly's death, which made him a very important general in the Vale army, second only to Commander-in-Chief Yorn Royce.

However, when the weathered-looking, unshaven Sir Blackfish entered the camp, he inadvertently discovered that his niece's tent was unlit.

Where is Lysa?

"Are you already asleep?"

Brynden Tully frowned and asked, but received an answer from Lysa's personal maid that he had not expected.

"Reporting, sir, Lady Lysa has been taken away by Lord Jon Royce."
