#374 - Chapter 108: Horseshoe Cathedral (II)

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

Earl Aegan shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Cersei: "Then quickly call him back! And Varys, we still have questions for him."

Earl Aegan didn't answer, but turned to look at the Queen, his meaning clear: you have no right to order me.

Margaery was secretly pleased, but on the surface, she pretended to be anxious. She nodded, "Go! Please bring my father, we need him."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Earl Aegan Lywell accepted the order and left.

Cersei watched Aegan's departing figure, a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes. She knew that her power and prestige had been greatly weakened, and there were people in the Red Keep who didn't take her seriously. She had to find a way to regain everything she had lost.

Qyburn suddenly said, "Your Majesty! Lord Jialong's army has moved!"

Everyone came to the window again, watching the surging tide of steel.

Liu Yuan led the army out, he didn't ride a horse, just stood quietly. The soldiers behind him held weapons, ready for battle.

They slowly advanced towards the Great Sept, the atmosphere tense and oppressive all the way.

At the entrance, Liu Yuan stopped, and the soldiers brought several children forward.

Liu Yuan asked, "Have the things been found?"

The leading captain nodded and handed him the things in his hand. He respectfully reported to Liu Yuan, "Reporting to the Lord, according to your instructions, we found those cellars. There are six in total, containing about eight thousand barrels. These children were also caught in the cellars, and they carried ignition items."

Liu Yuan took the items, carefully inspected them, and nodded. His gaze fixed on the distance, as if thinking about something, and then asked, "Are you sure there are no omissions?"

The officer immediately replied, "I can be sure, I personally explored it, at least there are none near Visenya's Hill. Unless the church has other storage internally." He spoke with a hint of certainty, as if full of confidence in his judgment.

After hearing this answer, Liu Yuan showed a satisfied smile and nodded in approval. He turned to look at Becket beside him and issued a new order: "Take good care of these children and deal with them later. Strictly prohibit anyone from approaching the things below."

The soldiers answered in unison, "Understood!"

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

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

The outer perimeter of the Great Sept was filled with ordinary believers and citizens, who couldn't even squeeze through the church gates. Seeing such fierce troops, they naturally honestly hid aside, not daring to provoke trouble easily.

On the other side, the High Sparrow stood on the marble platform in front of the main hall of the Sept, his eyes sharp, revealing a kind of unwavering firmness. His robes fluttered in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding environment. He looked down at the crowd gradually gathering below, his heart full of confidence in his faith.

"Lambs of God!" The High Sparrow shouted in a high-pitched voice. The platform was specially designed, and the sound resounded like thunder throughout the square. His voice was full of passion and power, making everyone who heard it moved.

"The Seven Gods teach us that all are equal before God. Whether you are nobles or commoners, whether you are noble or humble, we are all children of God. Therefore, you are no different from those nobles. Anyone who commits a sin must accept God's judgment! And on this day, we will face another judgment!"

The High Sparrow stood on the high platform, his aged but firm voice resounding throughout the Great Sept. The believers raised their heads, their eyes focused on him, their eyes flashing with piety and fanaticism. His words ignited the passion in people's hearts like a flame, making them feel extremely excited.

The believers were moved by the High Sparrow's words, they were moved to tears, and responded with excitement, making deafening shouts. The sound seemed to break through the sky, shaking the entire city. The High Sparrow's speech aroused the enthusiasm deep in the hearts of the crowd, and they raised their hands and shouted, "Glory to the Seven Gods!"

The slogan echoed in the air, carrying the believers' reverence for the gods. They firmly believed that only through faith could they obtain true glory, and the Seven Gods were the core of their faith.

"Justice will be served!" Another believer shouted.

"Down with the blasphemers!" Someone shouted angrily.

"Judgment! Judgment!" More believers joined the shouting.

These slogans echoed in the air, forming a powerful wave, making the Great Sept full of a heated atmosphere. The believers expressed their loyalty and belief in the gods with their voices.

At this moment, Liu Yuan, Becket, and Riverlay finally led their troops to the front of the Great Sept. Their appearance was like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly breaking the original tense atmosphere, making the whole scene more dignified.

The fully armed soldiers acted quickly. They held weapons, their steps were uniform, and they separated the surging crowd at the fastest speed, opening up a wide passage for Liu Yuan and others. The originally noisy square was now as if it had been magically cast, and it was instantly quiet. People's eyes turned to Liu Yuan and others, all the sounds seemed to disappear, leaving only heavy breathing rising and falling.

Liu Yuan and the other two stood there quietly, silently observing everything that was happening in front of them. Their eyes were calm and deep, without any fluctuations, as if they didn't care about the surrounding noise. Their eyes finally fell on the High Sparrow, with a hint of scrutiny, as if to see through the other party.

The High Sparrow felt the gaze from Liu Yuan and others. He greeted their gaze without fear, his eyes flashing with a firm light, as if to show them his position. The two sides confronted each other like this, their eyes met in the air, as if silently communicating something. In this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the entire square fell into silence, with only a few slight coughs occasionally coming, which seemed particularly abrupt.

At this moment, a large number of Star Warriors poured out from the Great Sept. They were agile and well-trained, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a solid wall in front of the steps. These Star Warriors were dressed in gorgeous armor, holding sharp weapons, and exuded a powerful pressure. Holy Sword Knights wearing rainbow cloaks also appeared behind the High Sparrow.
