#376 - Chapter 110: Horses Trampling the Temple (IV)
If I choose to back down at this moment, all the efforts I've made before will be in vain. What's more, I still hold a trump card in my hand: Lyanna is being held as a hostage. If things really develop to the point of no return, then secretly sending her back afterward and giving more compensation is also a viable solution.
However, at this moment, I must not compromise easily! The High Sparrow raised his voice and shouted, "Perhaps we are all afraid of death, but please believe me, behind us stand the omnipotent Seven Gods! We firmly believe that as long as we have the protection of the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Maiden, and the Stranger, we will have the courage to face death without fear. We are all insignificant lives, and we can live to this day entirely thanks to the grace of the Mother. We have neither noble surnames, nor remarkable family backgrounds, nor famous reputations. But precisely because of this, we represent the vast majority of people. And the faith of the Seven Gods has become the bond that closely connects us. As long as we work together, we can change the whole world, and no force can stop us from moving forward!" His voice was passionate and full of inspiring charm. Many of the civilians who were originally crying after being beaten were encouraged and raised their heads, staring at the soldiers with hatred in their eyes. Some even began to look around for stones and wooden sticks to use as weapons. The people of King's Landing have a tradition of rioting, and they have even killed dragons.
Countless Sons of the Warrior in black robes poured out from the Great Sept. There were many of them, as many as four or five thousand. These people had seven-pointed stars engraved on their foreheads, holding crude weapons in their hands, filling the steps in front of the Sept.
Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the surging crowd nearby. He spoke softly, "Alas~ I originally wanted to give you a way out. High Sparrow, you have ambition and ability. But coming from the bottom, you will never be able to see through the truth of this world. Do it! Everyone, pay attention, don't hurt my sister." His voice was not loud, but it resounded in everyone's ears.
After receiving Liu Yuan's order, Marga and Wang Wang led the giants to the forefront of the队伍. They slammed their battle axes heavily on the ground, making a dull sound. Then they took out an extra-large slingshot from their waists and reached out to touch a cantaloupe-sized stone ball.
"Buzz~ Buzz~" With two ear-piercing sounds of air being torn, two stone bullets were launched at an astonishing speed. The bullets flashed through the air like lightning, carrying unparalleled power, heading straight for their targets.
The two Faith Militant closest to Lyanna didn't even have time to react and were instantly hit by the stone bullets, turning into a cloud of blood mist. This terrifying scene stunned everyone. No one had thought that the giants would use such weapons.
The cantaloupe-sized bullet was nearly one hundred millimeters in diameter. Such a huge bullet was comparable to an eighteenth-century eight-pound cannon. The kinetic energy released was no less than that of the M82A1 in later generations. Even wearing sturdy plate armor could not withstand its power. The upper bodies of the two Faith Militant were shattered in an instant, bloody and horrible.
Seeing the tragic death of their comrades, the remaining Faith Militant were furious. One of the Starry Knights roared, "You damn bastards! How dare you hurt our people!" However, what responded to his anger was a bullet flying towards him. His eyes widened, and an unbelievable expression appeared on his face. He tried to dodge, but it was too late, and then the bullet accurately hit his face.
Long before the giants launched their attack, Liu Yuan gave Lyanna a look. Lyanna was also clever and immediately understood her brother's meaning. She quickly squatted down, reached out and grabbed the headdresses of the two nuns, tightly strangled their necks, and pulled them in front of her, using their bodies to shield herself.
And those Faith Militant were enraged by the scene in front of them. They raised the weapons in their hands and prepared to launch a charge against Liu Yuan and others, and a fierce battle immediately began.
The bullets carried a sharp whistling sound, like shooting stars streaking across the sky. Then, only a dull impact sound was heard, and the bullets slammed into the crowd. The Faith Militant near Lyanna were the main targets. The bodies of those hit by the bullets instantly became bloody. Even the powerful Sword of the Morning could not resist such an attack, even with a shield to block. Their heads, limbs, and even their entire bodies were shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.
The whole scene suddenly became chaotic, with shouts of killing and screams rising and falling. And the emotions of the surrounding crowd were completely ignited. They rushed forward, attacking the soldiers' lines with stones, wooden sticks, and even fingernails and teeth.
Of course, some people were afraid and wanted to escape from here. They screamed in terror, and some fell in the chaotic crowd, trampled by countless feet, and gradually lost their voices. These trampled people may have been ordinary citizens, but now they have become victims of this war. On this cruel battlefield, death can come to anyone at any time.
Liu Yuan rode on his horse with a cold expression, holding a bow and arrow tightly in his hand, his eyes full of coldness and determination. Whenever someone tried to approach Lyanna, he would shoot arrows without hesitation, and every arrow hit its target. The area where Lyanna was located had long become a bloody hell. Around her, countless bullets fell like rain, completely washing the area. The fragments produced after these stone bullets landed also had powerful lethality, and rubble splashed after the stone steps were broken.
The people around were either dead or seriously injured and unable to stand up and fight. Even if some people were lucky enough to be alive, they could only lie painfully on the ground, moaning weakly. And the two nuns who were pulled over by Lyanna as shields had also been smashed to a bloody pulp at this moment. Their bodies twitched from time to time, with only a breath more than the dead.
Although the number of troops that came to the hill at this time was not large, only more than three thousand, they had to face an siege of more than ten thousand people, but their line was still unbreakable, like an unshakable barrier. Their warriors cooperated closely and tacitly, forming a solid line of defense.
