The Mountain of Ice and Fire

Queen Cersei did not know that the Mountain was going to kill people!

The Mountain had his own plans!

If Osney could be rescued, of course, it would be the best evidence.

Evidence to make Cersei and the High Sparrow turn against each other.

If he couldn't be rescued, it would be a good way to frame the High Sparrow's viciousness and toughness, providing a better excuse for leading the city watch a second time.

Lancel came out with a cold and ruthless expression.

The Mountain didn't take Lancel seriously.

A person who can't withstand a sword, no matter how arrogant he is, as long as he dares to come up, his life will come to an end. For such a person, his cold eyes can't threaten the Mountain. Lancel's faith and the spirit of victory are just a joke in front of the Mountain.

A hundred Holy Swordsmen also came out!

The High Sparrow, who painstakingly prepared to establish an armed force, had developed rapidly, but the Mountain's sudden attack came too quickly.

The Mountain's killing spree disrupted the High Sparrow's steps.

He dared to arrest and torture Osney, but he didn't expect the Mountain to dare to bring troops to attack the Great Sept!

The High Sparrow clearly overestimated his own martial power and underestimated the Mountain's courage and daring.

For those who believe in the Seven Gods, they dare not use force against monks easily, whether he is a king or a prime minister.

But the Mountain seemed to have no scruples!

The High Sparrow also came out, with steady steps, calm eyes, and no fear at all.

Fearlessness is a common characteristic of the High Sparrow and his supporters!

But the Mountain believes that this kind of fearlessness is the same as ignorance.

There must be reverence, no matter who you are!

The Mountain only needs one charge to cut the High Sparrow in two, and then the Holy Swordsmen and the Poor Fellows will lose their core leader, and the essence of a rabble will scatter like birds and beasts.

But now is not the time.

It is necessary to further intensify the conflict so that Cersei supports the Mountain's actions, so that it is justified.

"High Septon, your Holy Swordsmen do not allow a person who believes in the Seven Gods to enter the Great Sept, why is that?" The Mountain's voice was like thunder, full of murderous intent.

A truly sophisticated and scheming villain would not show his戾气and murderous intent, the Mountain is deliberately showing it.

"Ser Gregor, no devout believer enters the Great Sept with weapons," the High Septon retorted sharply.

"The Great Sept is no longer safe. If you don't bring swords into the Great Sept, you may lose your life. High Septon, the only weapon of the Great Sept monks in the past was 'The Seven-Pointed Star', so I naturally wouldn't bring weapons and cavalry into the Great Sept, but now the Great Sept's weapons are sticks and swords. Entering a Great Sept full of sticks and swords, I bring weapons and warriors, which is in line with the faith of the Seven Gods, and is a respect for the High Septon."

The Mountain's counterattack was impeccable!

The High Sparrow changed the rules of the game first, and the Mountain followed suit!

For this point of logic and debating eloquence, the transmigrated Mountain spoke eloquently.

"Ser Gregor, you are sophistry. The Great Sept is as safe as before."

"Oh, then why was Ser Osney detained in the underground black prison and had his legs broken?"

The High Sparrow's eyes narrowed!

The Mountain knew about Osney's situation?

How did he know?

The High Sparrow confirmed that no one had leaked Osney's situation. Osney was tortured all over his body and eventually had his legs broken. These persecutions were all secret.

"Ser Osney has committed a crime," the High Sparrow said in a deep voice.

"If he commits a crime, the royal judge will naturally try him, and the royal law enforcement officer will enforce the law. When can the Great Sept arrest a royal courtier and punish him? When does this kingdom dare to arrest a city watch officer loyal to the royal family without the consent of the king, prime minister, and queen mother? From what time did the Seven Kingdoms only have the theocracy of the Great Sept? High Sparrow, where do you put the kingship? Do you want to rebel?"

The High Sparrow was eloquent, but he was choked by the Mountain's series of questions!

The Mountain rambled on: "High Sparrow, and you poor fellows who follow him, you need to carefully understand the history of the Westeros continent. For hundreds or thousands of years, which time have the Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen achieved true victory? In modern history, do you still remember a golden dragon for a Holy Swordsman's head? Do you remember a copper star can be exchanged for a Poor Fellow's hand?"

Two hundred years ago, Maegor I cruelly suppressed the Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen. Anyone who killed a member of the Poor Fellows or the Holy Swordsmen would be rewarded with money. Anyone, anywhere, could kill or cripple members of the Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen without liability, and receive rewards from the royal family or the lord.

In the end, the Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen were completely wiped out by Maegor I.

The High Sparrow suffocated again when he recalled this history!

The Mountain's greatsword pointed to the Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen who were eyeing him: "You, the guys from the Poor Fellows, most of you are illiterate, haven't read books, and don't know words, so do you know why the kingdom is always ruled by the king instead of the High Septon? Once you want to abandon 'The Seven-Pointed Star' and use swords to preach your faith, you will be dead. Knights of the Holy Swordsmen, think about the origin of the name Bitterbridge."

Bitterbridge is named because the noble armed forces killed nine thousand members of the Poor Fellows on that stone bridge. That battle was very bloody and cruel. A bitter word fully expresses the bitterness and cruelty.

The whole place was silent!

The High Sparrow and Lancel were both shocked. When did the Mountain become so knowledgeable and eloquent?

This is unbelievable!

Why would the Seven Gods make the Mountain, such a villain, become wise and resourceful?

The High Sparrow was awe-stricken!

The six hundred heavy cavalry behind the Mountain were six hundred bloodthirsty monsters! The iron hammers and maces of many tribal warriors were no different from smashing watermelons when they hit people's heads. A smash means a life. No matter what fearless credit the Poor Fellows or the Holy Swordsmen had, it would all disappear in the powerful strangulation.

"High Sparrow, hand over Osney. If you don't hand him over, you will all die!" The Mountain's greatsword pointed at the High Sparrow.

Intimidation is one of the basic qualities of a villain.

The knights of the Holy Swordsmen began to form a formation. They adopted a defensive formation: a shield wall.

This proves that they are not completely stupid and still have a bit of reason.

The Mountain ignored the shield wall. He alone could defeat this hundred-man phalanx, but his plate armor would definitely have to be replaced with a new set, and Unicorn would probably be hit by a sword or two.

The Holy Swordsmen are all proficient in martial arts. They are not afraid of death and will definitely fight to the death.

Although under the heavy cavalry's cover, the hundred Holy Swordsmen will eventually become flesh and blood, I am afraid that several people on our side will be lost.

The High Sparrow looked at the Mountain coldly, without saying a word.

The hundred-man shield wall protected the High Sparrow, and the star warriors of the Poor Fellows were also densely packed together at the gate.

They thought the Mountain would launch an attack!

The Mountain said lightly: "High Sparrow, hand over Ser Osney. He is a city watch officer of the royal family. You have no right to arrest him, and you have no right to try him."

"The Seven Gods have given me supreme power," the High Sparrow said quietly.

"Okay," the Mountain said, "Since you don't hand over the person, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lancel shouted: "Holy Swordsmen, prepare to fight!"

"Hoo!"

The Holy Swordsmen roared in unison, with a momentum like a rainbow.

"Star Warriors, let us fight to the death with the Mountain. The Seven Gods protect us, we will win," Lancel waved his long sword and raised his shield.

"Hoo!"

The Star Warriors roared, everyone holding the ambition to fight to the death!

The Mountain said lightly: "Brothers, our mission has been completed, retreat!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the six hundred heavy cavalry laughed loudly and left under the leadership of the Mountain!

The sound of horses' hooves still echoed in the night sky, the bloody smell still permeated the square, and the Mountain and his party had already left cleanly, like a hurricane.

The Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen, who had accumulated full of morale to fight to the death, watched the Mountain and others swept away like a whirlwind, and most people felt like they were dreaming.

The Mountain, known for his ferocity and ferocity, actually ran away before the battle?

Doesn't he want the glory of a warrior?!

How could this be something that a tyrannical person like the Mountain could do?!

Shouldn't his next step be to attack the gate of the Great Sept?

The warhorses of the Mountain and others were all purebred horses from Crabb's Claw, tall and handsome, coming and going like the wind. They left a ground of corpses and the monks inside the gate looked at each other.

*

Red Keep, the tranquility of the night was shattered by the sound of horses' hooves slowly entering the Mountain and his party.

Thousands of horses' hooves rang crisply on the marble floor of the Red Keep.

The horses' hooves clicked, the patrolling soldiers stood still, put their right fists on their left chests, and bowed slightly.

The Mountain is the highest military officer of the Seven Kingdoms.

He rode on Red Smoke, wearing full plate armor, tall and mighty like a giant, with a majestic aura, which was admirable.

*

Maegor's Holdfast, Queen Mother's Hall.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Osney was arrested by the High Septon and his legs have been broken."

Cersei's body stiffened!

"What's the reason?"

"I couldn't enter the Great Sept of Baelor. It's too dangerous for heavy cavalry to enter the Great Sept. The current Great Sept of Baelor is full of Holy Swordsmen and star warriors of the Poor Fellows, no different from a real military camp,"

Cersei was shocked!

Kevan's warning to her rang in her ears.

"Osmund, go and invite Lord Kevan."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Queen Mother."

Osmund Kettleblack is the father of the Kettleblack brothers. He secretly serves Littlefinger Petyr Baelish. Osmund is the steward of the Queen Mother's Palace.

Cersei ordered the maid to pour wine for the Mountain!

Osney went to see the High Sparrow on Cersei's order, but was detained by the High Sparrow and had his legs broken.

Cersei wanted to know why?

At the same time, she was worried that her framing of Margaery Tyrell had been leaked.

The Mountain didn't dare to enter the Great Sept with six hundred heavy cavalry to ask for someone. The terror of the Faith Militant was indeed not what she thought.

The Mountain, as fierce as the Mountain, was still submissive in front of her, listening to orders, but the High Sparrow was different from the Mountain. He was a monster who served himself as his master and could never be a knife in Cersei's hand.

"Ser Gregor, did you lead the troops to conflict with the High Sparrow?"

"We killed hundreds of star warriors of the Poor Fellows, but each bishop's gate was blocked by densely packed star warriors and Holy Swordsmen, unless two thousand city watchmen are mobilized," the Mountain said.

Mobilizing the city watch to fight against the Faith Militant for Ser Osney?

And this armed force was raised by Cersei herself!

"Wait a minute," Cersei said.

Her mouth was dry and she just wanted to drink water!

The maid brought her water, Cersei moistened her throat, forgot to put down the water glass, she walked back and forth in the room, frowning.

*

In Kevan's stone house, Kevan and Mace were secretly discussing a major event.

"The Mountain didn't dare to enter the Great Sept to ask for someone?" Duke Mace Tyrell said in surprise.

"Yes, it's true. He killed a lot of star warriors in the square, but facing the open gate of the Great Sept, the Mountain didn't dare to attack strongly," Kevan's gloomy face, "My people were watching the Mountain's heavy cavalry and the Faith Militant fighting in the square, I believe the people of the whole city will know about this tomorrow. From ancient times to the present, the Poor Fellows and the Holy Swordsmen have never been beneficial to the stability and prosperity of the kingdom."

"But Her Majesty the Queen Mother issued a政务令allowing the Great Sept to have armed forces, we have no right to withdraw it."

"Tomorrow I will become the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, but at the same time, I want you to vote to support me to become the Regent. We must take the power from Cersei's hands, otherwise, the kingdom will be buried by her. King Tommen is only nine years old. In the next few years until Tommen comes of age, Cersei can no longer be in power. We cannot let her become the Regent."

"The Tyrell family only has two votes in the Small Council," Mace said.

"Lord Mace, the country needs your support," Kevan said in a heavy tone.

Mace Tyrell was silent.

If Kevan becomes the Prime Minister and also becomes the Regent, holding the power in his hands, what will the Tyrell family get?

Kevan's political skills were not much different from Tywin's. His whole life, he had lived in Tywin's shadow, making it impossible for people to see his true talent.

But anyone who underestimated his political maneuvering was sorely mistaken.

"Lord Mace, if you support me, I will support Margaery Tyrell as Tommen's queen, and support General Randyll Tarly as Hand of the King."

Mace remained silent.

What was Mace thinking? Did he still think it wasn't enough?

"The Queen Mother Cersei needs a match," Kevan said softly, "and as far as I know, Willas Tyrell is not yet married. If Willas Tyrell marries the Queen Mother Cersei, and Margaery Tyrell marries King Tommen, the Tyrell family's glory in the Seven Kingdoms will be unmatched."

Mace's heart pounded.

Once Tommen comes of age, the power Kevan holds will be returned: the Lord Paramount and Regent powers will no longer exist.

In the long run, Tommen's power is Margaery Tyrell's power.

"But Cersei is King Tommen's mother," Mace said softly.

Kevan said lightly, "The Targaryen royal family all practiced internal marriage. When there were no suitable marriage partners among their peers, the family would also marry across generations. They ruled the Seven Kingdoms of this continent for three hundred years and created the legends and glory of the dragon people…" Kevan's eyes were piercing, and he was imposing without anger, as if Tywin had come back to life, "Moreover, after Cersei marries, she will leave the royal palace to reside in Highgarden, and there will only be one true queen in the royal palace: Queen Margaery Tyrell."

Mace was silent for a long while, and said, "Even if I support you, you still won't have enough votes."

"I will visit the Mountain and persuade him to support me!"
