The first few days of the public trial were filled with countless small cases from the Usurper's War. For example, a certain knight from the West had burned, looted, and raped civilian women after he invaded King's Landing. He was accused by the people of King's Landing. A certain noble from the North had
Burnt down the farm etc.
In just ten years, none of the former victims or their relatives had passed away. In addition, as the defeated ones in the West, the royal family supported them, and the Minister of Justice, Prince Oberyn Martell, personally visited these victims.
As a result, more and more people who have suffered have the courage to come forward and accuse the thugs who once persecuted their families, burned down their farms, robbed food, etc.
The Iron Throne requires these nobles who have committed violence to pay in full the money and food they have robbed, and those who have committed murder, rape and other heinous crimes are punished accordingly.
Some were sentenced to years of imprisonment, some had their limbs mutilated, and some were facing hanging or beheading. They knelt down and begged for mercy, crying with snot and tears, hoping to join the Night's Watch and serve the kingdom.
Guard the frontier.
The Night's Watch Legion also refused to accept anyone who came, accepting all orders, and for a time received a huge manpower supplement.
These nobles who joined the legion more or less brought some followers to protect themselves. There were not many who were alone. Even in the end of the liquidation, they brought hundreds of new recruits to join the Night Watch Legion. The Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch, Geo.
Mormont smiled from ear to ear.
The Night's Watch Legion has not yet been destroyed, but after suffering a lot of torture, it once numbered a thousand people, and now there are less than fifty people left.
However, the war brought a large number of criminals, and those who did not want to die were all forced into the Night's Watch. With the addition of such a large number of defeated nobles and soldiers, the size of the Night's Watch returned to around a thousand people.
, which can be regarded as returning to the state before the war.
Of course, this is still far from enough for recovering the northern border or guarding the Great Wall.
In the future, Viserys plans to continue to expand the size of the Night's Watch and form an expeditionary force, allowing them to go beyond the Great Wall to the open space, establish their own bases and castles, and permanently incorporate the land outside the Great Wall into the royal territory step by step.
And one day he will ride a dragon to the end of the world and figure out the secrets there.
Of course, this is the plan later. The White Walkers are still entrenched in the north, the causeway of the Neck has not been repaired, Winterfell is in ruins, and there is a big hole in the Great Wall. Everything in the north of the kingdom is still in ruins.
A prosperous situation.
Soon, the public trial had lasted for ten days, and a large number of defeated nobles were accounted for. Oberyn used the fastest efficiency to clear the prisons of King's Landing.
For example, the coalition nobles who were captured in the Battle of Riverrun have all been deprived of their fiefdoms, and the Velaryon family who rebelled in the Battle of Dragonstone, etc.
Morford Velaryon, the last Earl of Tidehead Island, did not receive redemption and was beheaded in court, and his heir wife had been smashed by trebuchets when Tidehead Island fell, and the ship sank into the sea.
The Velaryon family, a distant relative of the Gillian family, was completely destroyed.
Then there is Grand Maester Pycelle, who becomes an increasingly important figure in influencing the direction of history as he reaches later stages.
"Grand Maester Pycelle"
The old bachelor had been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time. However, when he was escorted to the court, he still had his trousers unpacked, and his feces and urine flowed down his trouser legs all over the floor.
The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms and the people of King's Landing who were watching the ceremony immediately booed when they saw the Grand Master's ugly behavior.
"O-O-Prince Oberyn, I am actually innocent. I did not betray His Majesty. I, I, I did not betray."
As for Grand Maester Pycelle, whose hair and beard were pale, he no longer cared about the issue of face at this moment. He had been held in a cell for such a long time, and suddenly he was interrogated one day. He also knew that his death was approaching and was trembling with fear.
Keep begging for mercy.
He also wore a bachelor's necklace on his chest, which symbolized the grand master. It was made up of twenty-four metal pieces. As his body continued to tremble, it made a sound. However, the Unsullied soldiers roughly tore off the metal pieces.
Scattered all over the ground.
"As a great bachelor of the kingdom, you have betrayed your king, and you are no longer worthy of having a bachelor's link."
Sitting under the pergola, the new Grand Master Dr. Marwyn looked at Pycelle's ugly appearance with disgust on his face.
He himself looked down upon his fellow "grey sheep", and now too many bachelors had strayed away from their original intention of becoming bachelors.
They did not follow their original intention of making the whole world a better place, but instead added many political elements. However, the first priority of becoming a bachelor is to serve the entire Westeros, even abandoning his family and surname, and no adulteration is allowed.
any political interests.
At this point, Dr. Marwyn admires Maester Aemon the most. He is a pure bachelor. His character is unparalleled and he can give up the throne in order to stick to his oath.
"Ma, Dr. Marwin, you"
Seeing his former acquaintance undermine him, Grand Maester Pycelle suddenly became a little anxious. He also hoped that Dr. Marwin could help him because he was from the same school city, but he did not expect that the other party would actually add insult to injury.
.
"Grand Maester Pycelle."
"Whether you have been wrongly accused or not is not up to you alone."
At this moment, Minister of Justice Oberyn interrupted Pycelle. He crossed his legs and looked at the ugly appearance of the former grand maester, with a cold light in his eyes.
The death of his sister Elia Martell was actually caused by Grand Maester Pycelle. Although it was not the main reason, she had already been targeted by him and was one of the people he wanted to kill.
.
Oberyn then clapped his hands and asked for witnesses to be summoned.
The first person to take the stage was Minister of Intelligence Varys. He once served the 'Mad King' Aerys II. Aerys was even present when Pycelle persuaded the Mad King to open the city gate.
Therefore, he vividly described the scene when Grand Maester Pycelle deceived the Mad King.
"The words of the Eight-clawed Spider cannot be trusted, my lords..."
But Grand Maester Pycelle was still tremblingly arguing his case.
However, the girls who had been teased by Pycelle also stood up one after another.
As witnesses, they accused the former academician of the former dynasty who had always been pretending to be senile. He didn't know what kind of medicine he took, but he was still very energetic in bed.
He even unintentionally revealed his flattery for the Lannister family.
Grand Maester Pycelle had betrayed the royal family long ago and had been passing on palace intelligence to the Lannisters, both during the reign of the Targaryen king and Robert Baratheon.
