Chapter 105: Horses Trampling the Temple (7)
Varys lay quietly in the cabin, waiting silently. As time passed, his anxiety grew. He didn't know whether the wildfire had been ignited, nor did he know what the situation was like in King's Landing. At this time, it had been nearly three hours since Garlon's army entered the city.
He waited and waited, but the explosion he expected never happened. This made him feel very confused and uneasy. Did his little bird betray him? Or was there something wrong with the wildfire? All kinds of questions flooded his mind, making it impossible for him to calm down.
After a long wait, Varys sighed helplessly: "It seems that our plan has failed. The gods do not favor us." Varys said heavily, "Minali, we can't wait any longer. Go and inform the captain to set sail!"
The dwarf Minelli nodded, knowing that there was no other choice. She picked up the tray and left the room, ready to follow Varys' instructions.
Varys took a deep breath, then reached out and slowly opened the cabin window. He stared at King's Landing outside the window quietly, with a complex emotion in his heart.
His original plan was to ignite the wildfire hidden in the cellars while Garon led his army to attack the Great Sept of Baelor. Aerys II had ordered the pyromancers to set a large number of wildfires in the cellars, and he witnessed it all on the spot.
According to the pyromancer's estimate, once the wildfire is ignited, it will cause a devastating explosion that will completely envelop the area from Visenya Hill to Dragon's Lair, including Silent Sister Street, Flea Bottom, Silk Street, and Eel Alley.
In this way, not only the attacking army, but even Garon himself is likely to be buried in this disaster. Garon has a huge power overseas. If he unfortunately dies here, the power he controls will fall into chaos and will be torn apart by the struggle for power. In this way, Illyrio and Illyrio will have the opportunity to win over some of them and turn them into powerful helpers for Aegon VI.
However, even if Garlon had not been killed by the wildfire, the damage done to his army would have certainly broken his relationship with the Iron Throne, and the death of Lord Tyrell would have exacerbated this situation, and the two sides would have been in a life-and-death struggle.
More importantly, the Church of the Seven will definitely fully support Tommen in his desperate fight with Garion, and even Daenerys, who is behind Garion, may be rejected. After all, the Church has a strong control over the people of the Seven Kingdoms and can quickly raise a sizable army. In this way, the war between them will consume a lot of their strength, and Storm's End will be able to get a precious breathing space.
Varys waited for a long time, but never heard the expected explosion. He knew that the operation had failed, and the "little birds" responsible for carrying out the mission could not get close to the cellar where the wildfire was stored.
Varys showed a resolute look on his face and decided to evacuate immediately, because the bodies might have been found in the Red Keep, and based on his experience, the enemy should soon notice their actions. He was secretly upset and felt that this action was a big loss. Not only did he abandon the intelligence network he had worked hard to build in King's Landing for many years, but he also lost one of his eyes. Although he left some secret hands, they did not succeed. The only result was the Duke of Mace.
Varys's guess was correct. Just as the merchant ship was leaving the Blackwater estuary, there was a visible commotion on the Red Keep not far away. It was clear that the guards were being moved around in an unusual manner. Such large-scale movements only occurred when major events occurred. Obviously, Mace Tyrell's death had aroused vigilance. However, it was too late now. Varys and his men had already left the port and sailed into the sea.
At this time, Liu Yuan slowly walked out of the dark alley. He held a glass ball in the shape of an American football, and inside it was a emerald green liquid that was glowing with fluorescence. This liquid was the famous "wildfire" on the continent, which was left by the Mad King Aerys II as a means of mutual destruction. This was the eleventh cellar, and the harvest inside was much less than expected. There were about 45,000 of those five-liter pottery jars, but even so, this was the Mad King's inventory for more than ten years.
Liu Yuan was secretly thinking in his heart that he was going to transform these wildfires into a more terrible weapon. In fact, he had collected some wildfires in his early years. If he put all of them into the battlefield of the Great Wall of Despair, it would bring a huge threat to the enemy.
The officers had been waiting anxiously outside. When they saw Liu Yuan coming out, they immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully. Liu Yuan gently waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to salute, and asked, "How is the war going in the church?"
An officer quickly replied, "Your Excellency, we have occupied most of the area of the Baelor Cathedral. The Hall of Lights, the Rainbow Pool, and the Crystal Tower have all been taken down. The High Sparrow and the remaining people, about a thousand people, are defending the Altar of the Seven Gods in the main hall. Lord Muto is in charge of the on-site command, and Lord Becot and Count Reverey are also there."
Liu Yuan sneered: "They are still quite tenacious. Is there anything else?"
The officer said, "Sir, there is a visitor from the Red Keep, a Kingsguard, who wishes to see you."
"Oh!" Liu Yuan was quite surprised: "Interesting, bring him to see me!"
After Glenn Caswell informed him, he was told that the Marquis had something to do and would meet him when he was free. Glenn had been waiting anxiously, and he was very nervous when he was brought in.
He walked quickly to Liu Yuan's horse, knelt on one knee, saluted with a knight's salute, and bowed his head and said, "Greetings, Lord Garon. I am Glenn of the Caswell family, and the current Kingsguard. I came here on the orders of His Majesty the King, and I have a message for you."
Liu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Oh ~ Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Grelan said carefully: "Lord Garon, His Majesty knows that you have defeated the church. But Ser Loras Tyrell is imprisoned in the dungeon of the church, but he is the queen's brother. His Majesty hopes that you can guarantee his safety. His Majesty said that this is his personal request."
Liu Yuan thought for a moment, then turned to the officer beside him and asked, "I seem to remember that the church's dungeon has been occupied. How are the people inside?"
An officer stepped out and said, "Sir, the Crystal Tower has been occupied and the prisoners inside are being detained for the time being. Their identities are being verified according to your orders, and some of them are indeed nobles."
