The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]

In the grand and solemn Cathedral of Beile, the High Sparrow was standing in the chapel praying devoutly. Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Sister Unia limped in with a bruised face.

The High Sparrow merely glanced at her, then quickly turned his gaze to the nobles who were still kneeling on the ground, and said calmly, "Well, today's prayer is over, and you can go back."

The nobles quickly responded in unison: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Archbishop! We are very happy to listen to the teachings of the gods and be baptized under the glory of the Lord." After that, they stood up and left respectfully.

The High Sparrow was quite confident in his ability to brainwash others. The noble knights in front of him only needed to be fooled by him a few more times to successfully join the Holy Sword Knights. However, when he saw Sister Unia's very funny face, he couldn't help but burst into an irrepressible smile. Can't laugh! Can't laugh! He tried to restrain himself. He was a professional. No matter how ridiculous it was, he must not laugh out loud.

So, he pretended to be concerned and asked softly, "Sister Unia, it seems that you have gone to Lady Lyanna again?"

Unia's face was filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Archbishop. I failed again. This person is too stubborn."

The High Sparrow smiled and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, dear sister. This is actually a test set for us by the gods. The more we can make such a stubborn person believe in the Seven Gods, the greater our achievements will be. I have heard that Lyanna's brother, Lord Garron, dotes on his sister! So, the person we really need to pay attention to should be Lord Garron..."

"Bang!" Suddenly, the wooden door was slammed open, and a monk stumbled into the house. When he looked up and saw the High Sparrow, he couldn't wait to shout loudly: "My Lord Archbishop, something big has happened! Marquis Garon has led his army to King's Landing and is confronting the capital garrison outside the city. Not only that, the devout believers and clergy in Thorn Territory, Crab Claw Peninsula, Duskdale City and other places have all been forcibly expelled."

The High Sparrow frowned and said, "Calm down, Brother Wayne. It's no big deal. The Golden Cloaks will not allow the lord to bring troops into the city without permission. Even if he leads his army, what can he do? Do you think he dares to attack the temple?"

Brother Wayne said nervously, "No, Your Excellency. Refugees did arrive in King's Landing earlier, but they were stopped in the slums by the gold cloaks. It was not until the gold cloaks withdrew not long ago that believers came to the cathedral to inform them of the news."

The High Sparrow's eyes flickered, and he knew the situation was serious. Marquis Garlon's overreaction was shocking, and Celtigar's move was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the church. If decisive action was not taken, it would probably cause more trouble.

"Brother Wayne, you must go and see the Prime Minister immediately and ask him to mediate this matter personally." The High Sparrow gave the order in a firm tone. "Sister Unia, you must go and inform Lancel immediately and lead some brothers to guard the expelled believers. Tell them that the Seven Gods will protect them. In addition, you must take Lyanna to the Father's Gate and ring the bell to summon the believers."

After receiving the order, Unia and Wayne left in a hurry, leaving the High Sparrow alone to guard the temple and think about countermeasures. He secretly swore that even the king must crawl at the feet of God and never let Marquis Garlon achieve his goal easily. And he will suppress it with the will and public opinion of the people! The supreme dignity of the Church of the Seven Gods must be defended.

Accompanied by the ringing of the cathedral bells, this usually only occurs when major events occur, such as the execution of Eddard, the death of Joffrey and Tywin, Cersei's parade through the streets, and the distribution of free food, etc. A large number of believers and people flocked to the cathedral like a tide, and they did not know that a fierce confrontation between religious and secular power was about to begin.

The High Sparrow was very wise in this regard. He knew that the promotion of God's majesty also required strong military force as support. So he summoned all the Holy Sword Knights and Star Warriors. Those fanatical believers from the Poor People's Assembly also came with simple weapons.

At the same time, the army led by Liu Yuan was gradually approaching Visenya Hill. Looking at the people who were heading towards the Great Sept of Baelor, including the warrior sons in black robes, Liu Yuan raised his hand to signal the army to stop, and then sent a few soldiers forward to bring back a few citizens, and asked: "Where are you going, what happened over there?"

The common people knelt down and answered respectfully: "Respected sir, we are all ordinary people in the city, and we are going to the cathedral. The ringing of the bell means that something important is about to happen, but we common people don't know what it is!"

Liu Yuan quietly watched the crowd going away, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something. After a while, he turned his head and glanced at the generals beside him. Then he gave an order coldly: "The army stops! Since the church intends to gather believers, I will give them an hour to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. Muto, you lead the four battalions of the Black Armor Army and move together with the archers of Ladakh to deploy defense lines along the Mud Road, Steel Street and Eel Lane to completely surround the entire Visenya Hills. Remember, no matter whether it is a member of the Church of the Seven Gods or a person holding a weapon, no one can be let go. But if you encounter civilians without hostility, you can let them go." His voice was cold and ruthless, which made people shudder. Hearing this, the civilians kneeling on the ground were so scared that they trembled all over and could hardly stand.

Then, Liu Yuan called the generals to his side, whispered a few words to them, and then said to them: "Haha, it seems that you have recognized who I am. I will give you a chance, go home, and don't run around on the streets." After saying that, he scattered a handful of silver coins and ignored them. They left with many thanks.

At this time, Liu Yuan still had nearly 5,000 troops, including two heavy infantry battalions and one archer battalion. Three thousand Setiga soldiers were left at the Steel Gate to guard the retreat and baggage. As for the hundreds of soldiers from the Lake family, only the most elite 300 followed.

Inside the Red Keep, Kevan and Jacelyn were leading two thousand gold-cloaked guards to rush back to strengthen the Red Keep's defenses. The White Sword Tower was built at a special angle, from where you could overlook the entire King's Landing and part of the bay.

On the rooftop of the White Sword Tower, almost all the senior officials of the Red Keep gathered here, and the hills of Visenya opposite were clearly visible. When Kevan and Jacelyn arrived, Prince Tommen immediately asked, "Prime Minister, why did you let Lord Garron's army into the city? I did not issue such an order."

Kevan: "Your Majesty, the situation was extremely urgent. Marquis Garlon was very determined and was even willing to go to war."

Cersei: "So you're just going to give up the gates and King's Landing?"

Kevan: "What else? Reject Garon's request and go to war with him? This is the trouble caused by the Church of the Seven. Let them settle their grievances. Do you understand the consequences of going to war with Garon? Once the rupture is complete, it means that the armistice signed by Tywin will be invalidated. The Morningstar family, which occupies half of the land in the crown, will become enemies with the Celtigar family. The Starks in the North and Edmure in Riverrun will definitely send troops again. Even the Vale, whose attitude is unclear, will turn to them. You all know what kind of person Littlefinger is."

Kevan paused and continued, "As for the other nobles, how many of them are willing to fight for the Church of the Seven? You should know better than me. We can't face so many enemies at the same time. And don't forget, the Duke is notoriously cruel."

Cersei was speechless, but still retorted unconvinced: "Then you shouldn't have let them in like this."

Kevan shook his head helplessly. "Do you think I want to? But if I don't let them in, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood in King's Landing."

As if being ignored, Tommen said loudly: "I am the king, they can't do this."

Pycelle reminded quietly, "Your Majesty, forgive my rudeness, but as a Grand Maester I have to remind you. The girl from the Targaryen family has already occupied Dragonstone. And Lord Garron has been operating on the other side of the Narrow Sea for a long time. We cannot push him into the arms of the enemy. You still need to listen to the advice of the ministers."

Tommen glared at Pycelle but said nothing.

Kevan sighed and said to Tommen: "Your Majesty, please trust my judgment. Everything I do is for the benefit of the kingdom. Now we need time to stabilize the situation and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Please believe me, Your Majesty."

Tommen was silent for a while, and finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with Kevan's decision.

Kevan breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, I have to go and arrange the defense of the Red Castle, I'll take my leave for now!" Then he turned and left.

Margaery stepped forward, held Tommen's hand, and comforted him softly, "My dear, don't worry, everything will be fine. We should believe in the character of Lord Garron. He just wants the church to hand over her sister, and he won't even fight. As long as he and the Church of the Seven decide the outcome, he will leave King's Landing. What's more, we have so many troops guarding the Red Castle, and Garron has only more than 10,000 people, and half of them are cavalry. It is impossible to break through the defense of the Red Castle."

Tommen held her hand tightly, looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of gratitude, and said: "Thank you, dear, I'm glad to have you. Without you, I don't know how to face all this."

Perhaps because she couldn't stand them being so affectionate in public, Cersei couldn't help but frown and interrupted their conversation: "Where is Lord Tyrell? I haven't seen him since the meeting. Where's Varys! Why isn't even Varys here?"

Margaery asked a knight, "Lord Aegon, where is my father? Didn't you leave together just now?"

The knight was Lord Aegon Ryvel, captain of the Tyrell family's guards. He stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Duke is not with me. After leaving the throne room, Lord Varys said he had something important to discuss. The Duke asked me to gather the Tyrell army in the city, but I haven't seen him since I came back! The Duke's guards are still there, and he has not left Maegor's Holdfast."

Cersei's expression changed slightly. "What's going on? Where is he at this time?"

Lord Aegon shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the situation either.

Cersei: "Then call him back quickly! And Varys, we have something to ask him."

Lord Aegon did not answer, but turned to look at the queen, his meaning was obvious: you have no right to order me.

Margaret was secretly happy, but pretended to be anxious on the surface. She nodded and said, "Go! Ask father to come over. We need him."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lord Aegon Reville took the order and left.

Cersei looked at Aegon's departing back, with a trace of resentment in her eyes. She knew that her power and prestige had been greatly weakened, and some people in the Red Castle no longer took her seriously. She had to find a way to regain everything she had lost.

Coben suddenly said, "Your Majesty! Lord Garlon's army is moving!"

Everyone came to the windowsill again and looked at the surging steel torrent.

Liu Yuan led the army out, but he did not ride a horse, but just stood quietly. The soldiers behind him were holding weapons and ready for battle.

They moved slowly towards the cathedral, and the atmosphere along the way was tense and depressing.

Just at the entrance, Liu Yuan stopped and the soldiers came forward with several children.

Liu Yuan asked, "Did you find the thing?"

The leading captain nodded and handed him the things in his hand. He respectfully reported to Liu Yuan: "My Lord, according to your instructions, we found those cellars. There are six in total, and they contain about 8,000 barrels. These children were also caught in the cellars, and they were carrying flammable items."

Liu Yuan took the item, checked it carefully, nodded, stared into the distance, seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked: "Are you sure there is nothing missing?"

The officer immediately replied, "It's certain. I've checked it myself, and there's nothing left near Visenya Hills at least. Unless there's other storage inside the church." He spoke with a hint of certainty, as if he was confident in his judgment.

After hearing this answer, Liu Yuan smiled with satisfaction and nodded in approval. He turned to look at Beckett beside him and issued a new order: "Keep these children under watch and deal with them later. No one is allowed to approach the things below."

The soldiers answered in unison: "Understood!"

Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to signal to continue moving forward. He turned around and said, "Becot, order the army to set off! It's time to bring Anna home."

Becot was a little confused, but he still ordered the soldiers to continue moving forward. The Celtigar soldiers walked at the front of the team, their steps were firm and powerful. The people who were originally crowded on the road were rudely driven aside by them.
