Volantis is the headquarters of the Red God Cult. Originally, Dophas Panymion would be greatly hindered from carrying out this order. Not to mention him, even the three former consuls were against the Red God.
The teacher dares to be angry but dare not speak.
After all, almost more than one-third of the soldiers in the Tiger Robe Army are followers of the Red God Religion, and Benero, the supreme priest of the Red God Religion, is the earthly emperor of Volantis.
But now times have changed, and a bloody massacre has made the entire Volantis panic. When people see the Red God Religion, they are like seeing the god of plague, and they avoid it.
Even many people who originally believed in the Red God, but whose faith was not firm, hastily distanced themselves from the Red God Church for fear of being implicated.
Therefore, the three axes of the new governor of Volantis struck down, and the sword struck the vital point, almost directly digging out the foundations of the Church of the Red God and the gods of R'hllor's camp in Volantis.
Overnight.
The gods of the Red God Cult and R'hllor camp were reduced from the earthly emperors of Volantis to street rats that everyone yelled at.
When such drastic changes broke out in the mortal world, it was inevitable that the gods in the sky would be alarmed. Countless prayers full of resentment flew to the kingdom of R'hllor, directly impacting the kingdom of the Lord of Light.
The King of Light, who was fighting, was affected. His face looked slightly ugly and he looked towards the lower world.
In the city of Volantis, the resurrected believer of the Red God Cult was hiding in his hood, his eyes glowing with a faint blue light.
He looked at everyone around him with resentment, including the soldiers of the Targaryen family and the people of Volantis.
...
The city-state of Volantis was captured by the Imperial Army, the largest war to break out in humanity since the Long Night.
However, this war lasted less than a month before Volantis fell. Two of the three consuls died. Benero, the supreme priest of the Red God Cult who was the culprit of this war, was executed in the street.
end.
The war in Volantis was over, but the imperial army was in no hurry to return.
Because their mission is not just to sweep away the city-state of Volantis, but to participate in this war of gods and destroy the foundation of the gods of the R'hllor camp from the mortal world.
Therefore, their next goal is to continue to advance, clear more lands that believe in R'hllor, and uproot them.
Just like the Crusades, in the name of the Empire, to wipe out all the evil gods that do nothing to help humans and harm living creatures, the Targaryen army will continue to advance eastward, sweeping across the Church of the Red God and a series of people in Essos.
Faith in God.
…
At the same time, on the other side of Westeros is the distant Winterfell.
A thin girl with brown hair and gray eyes was wearing light leather armor, with a short sword hanging on her waist and a bow on her back.
She tied the heavy package to the horse's buttocks, then climbed on and grabbed the saddle ring.
In front of the brown-haired young man, there was a burly young man with a beard holding the reins for her.
"Remember to find your sister when you get there."
"And take care of yourself."
The young man under the horse held the reins for his sister, then raised his head and spoke seriously.
"Miss Brienne should also participate in this competition."
Gu Hui
"If you need help, remember to mention my name to her."
"We have fought side by side, and she will definitely do her best to help you, just like I did to you, do you understand?"
The brother was chattering before leaving, which made the girl on the horse a little impatient, especially since the other party spoke highly of the female knight named Brienne.
"Well, I understand."
This made the girl dressed as a knight even more angry. She hummed twice, but said nothing more and agreed.
"Arya."
However, at this moment, a woman's voice came from above.
It turned out that there was a middle-aged lady with auburn hair and a haggard face on the second floor of the Library Tower in Winterfell. She was standing here with her hands crossed. It seemed that she was passing by accidentally and spotted the two brothers and sisters.
She is the mother of the current Earl of Winterfell, Lady Catelyn Tully, and she is also the mother of the girl who is preparing to embark on a long journey.
"Mother."
When they heard the sound coming from upstairs, Arya and Robb below both raised their heads, and then couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
Arya was preparing to leave Winterfell and go to King's Landing to participate in the tourney. She only told her eldest brother Robb and hoped that he would keep it a secret for her.
Because Arya knew that once her mother knew about this, she would definitely object to it.
Arya is seventeen years old this year, and has already had her menarche for several years. According to the cultural customs of this world, she is already at an age where she should get married.
But Arya has very high standards, or she doesn't want to get married at all. She looks down on the husbands her mother and brother selected for her, so she has always refused to get married.
And Arya also has her own reasons, because her sister Sansa is still in King's Landing and has not returned to Winterfell, let alone married. As a sister, she should not get married earlier than her sister.
As Arianne's maid, Sansa is indeed twenty years old this year. Logically speaking, given Sansa's character, she might have already chosen a husband to marry.
But the reality is that Sansa has not yet gotten married, and she has not chosen to return to Winterfell, but insists on staying in King's Landing.
Because when you come to a prosperous big city like King's Landing, how can such a colorful world be compared to a bitter and cold place like Winterfell?
Sansa fell in love with King's Landing from the first day she arrived, so she didn't want to return to Winterfell, let alone marry a northerner she didn't even know.
She would stay in front of the dilapidated fireplace all year round, wearing thick fishy-smelling furs and holding her children.
She never wants to live such a life again.
However, although Sansa is not married yet, her life-long affairs do not require her mother Catelyn to worry too much.
Because Sansa is the maid of the Great Queen Arianne, and Arianne also likes the smart Sansa. Now she is using Sansa as a bargaining chip to match her with the Queen's Prime Minister Willas Tyrell. Together.
Although Willas is a cripple and is more than ten years older than Sansa, he is still unmarried, and his appearance is very talented. At the same time, as the prime minister of the empire, he does not have to be picky about his background.
Sansa was very satisfied with Willas, and Willas did not refuse the wife introduced to him by the great queen, and expressed his gratitude.
After all, how many wives in this world are more suitable than the daughter of the Stark family?
