  Chapter 264 God is There

The Red Fort was built separately from King's Landing. The Red Fort was built on a huge rock in the southeast corner of King's Landing.

This is a very popular construction layout. Building it on the rock wall not only increases the castle's defensive capabilities, but also allows one to overlook the entire King's Landing from the top of the Red Castle, achieving a true "King's Landing" visual effect.

Aiur was one of the earliest refugees in King's Landing, and was forcibly conscripted into the army after the War of the Five Kings broke out.

Later, after the war, he returned home and found that his wife and daughter had been insulted to death by the defeated soldiers, and the family's food, land and even house had been taken away by the new lord.

He had no choice but to join the group of refugees, and eventually wandered all the way to King's Landing, becoming a refugee in King's Landing.

Fortunately, the holy and merciful Pope gave him food. In this way, he lived up to the Pope's expectations and became a loyal believer of the Seven Gods.

Just today, he heard the news of the expansion of the Sons of War, so he immediately signed up, hoping to fight for the Pope. Thanks to his combat experience in the War of the Five Kings, he was lucky enough to get his wish.

Just as Al was happily on his way to the Great Sept of Baelor, a roar exploded in his ears, and a fear that penetrated deep into his soul burst out.

Al couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Red Castle. In his horrified eyes, a huge monster covered with blue and white mist appeared not far from the Red Castle.

Blue light surged through the mist, like thunder entwining the monster's body to drive it.

Fear spread in his heart until it enveloped his entire body. With a thud, Al fell to his knees on the muddy road.

He folded his hands and trembled all over, with his head pressed firmly to the ground.

"Seven Gods above, Seven Gods above, please bless your faithful servant"

King's Landing, which had already forcibly gathered 800,000 people, was thrown into complete chaos after the appearance of Poseidon.

Despair, collapse, robbery, rape, crying, praying, and fleeing. The law and order that was barely maintained completely collapsed and disintegrated.

When the 200-meter-tall Poseidon appeared outside King's Landing, everyone in King's Landing spotted her. If dragons made people feel fear, then Poseidon only made people feel despair!

"The three of you please go back. Since you don't want to surrender, let's fight on the battlefield."

Jack's words brought everyone back to reality from the storm in their minds. All those who had never seen Poseidon looked at Jack in shock, unable to say a word.

Looking at the monster that was taller than the Red Castle built on the rock wall, Cersei's face turned pale, her lips trembled for a long time and she couldn't utter a word.

Finally, James said in a trembling voice: "What is this. Monster?"

"I've already said it, haven't I? Dragons have never been the foundation of my rule. The glory of the sea god will shine on every land in the world!"

"I'll give you half a day to think about it. If you don't lead your troops out of the city and surrender before the sun sets, I will raze the Red Fort to the ground."

After saying that, Jack did not stay any longer, but got up and left. Tormund and the others also followed Jack and left after making a gesture of waiting to die to Cersei and the other two.

Cersei stayed there at a loss. She didn't know how she got back to the Great Sept of Baelor. She could no longer return to the Red Keep, and all the people inside had been evacuated.

In the Great Sept, Cersei was still staring blankly at Poseidon beside the Red Castle. After an unknown amount of time, Cersei seemed to have accepted Poseidon's existence.

She immediately called Qyburn and asked what to do now?

However, Qyburn had no choice. Jack didn't care about the lives of the civilians in the city. The city walls couldn't even stop the dragon, let alone the giant beast that was eyeing the Red Castle.

"What did the Iron Bank say?" Cersei said, still unwilling to give up.

"The Iron Bank rejected us. They believed that we had no ability to repay the loan, nor to hire the Faceless Men. The Golden Group also withdrew."

"What a short-sighted bunch of fools, do they think Jack Poseidon will acknowledge the Iron Throne's debt if it fails?"

Qyburn quietly looked at Cersei who was beginning to go crazy. His expression did not change at all. He just looked at the tall Poseidon with some longing and some fear.

He felt a certain texture from Poseidon that was similar to the magic of the dead. The feeling was indescribable.

"Cersei, Cersei." Jaime's voice came from a distance.

After Jaime entered the church, he saw the crazy Cersei. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Cersei to calm her down.

"Give up, we have no chance. Come back to the West with me. From what they said, Myrcella is still favored by Jack. Jack will not kill us and Tommen. But if we continue to resist, we will really die. If we die, we will have nothing."

If Caraxus could still make James want to take a gamble, the appearance of Poseidon made James completely give up the idea of ​​taking a gamble.

In the end, Cersei agreed with Jaime's suggestion. She planned to preserve the strength of the Westerly and look for opportunities later.

To put it bluntly, Cersei has realized a truth: a man who knows the times is a hero, and it is not shameful to admit defeat first. The Targaryen family once had more than a dozen dragon knights, but they also declined.

Before the sun set, James led 20,000 people out of the city to swear allegiance to Jack.

Jaime has inherited the position of Lord of Casterly Rock, and his oath of allegiance represents the surrender of the West.

After Jaime swore allegiance, he put forward two conditions to Jack. The first condition was to ensure the safety of himself, Cersei and Tommen, and the second condition was that the Westerlands would be autonomous and could not be reformed.

Jack promised Jaime in his own name, and then Tommen Baratheon left the city to announce surrender.

Tommen is not only the nominal king of the Iron Throne, but also the Duke of Stormlands. His surrender represents the complete change of ownership of the Iron Throne.

Looking at Tommen Baratheon kneeling before him and offering the crown with both hands, Jack felt that this boy was not sad at all, but more of fear and happiness.

In fact, Tommen was not sad at all about losing the throne. He was even a little happy.

Because according to Jaime, as long as he surrendered, he could return to the West with his mother and live a carefree life. This was what he had always dreamed of.

After Tommen surrendered, Jack immediately let the Son of Winter take over the security of King's Landing. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of the situation would be killed, regardless of age or gender.

The armies of Dorne, the Vale and the Reach were all waiting outside the city, and even the army of the Westerlands had to wait outside the city.

As for the people of the River Bend stationed in front of another city gate, although they were shocked by the appearance of Poseidon, they were mentally prepared.

Because before they came, Olenna had sent them a letter telling them to be surprised at everything they saw, especially things that came out of the sea.

Olenna's information naturally came from Alexander Poseidon.

While Margaery was taking Alexander to visit the Highgarden Gardens, she also obtained a lot of information about Atlantis.

At this moment, they also received a message from Jack, requiring them not to leave their military camp or bring people into the city, and to wait for Jack's notification on the spot, otherwise it would be regarded as a war.

Although Randyll Tarly was angry, he had no choice but to obey. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Jack would really go to war with them. The giant beast was definitely capable of killing them all and flattening any castle in the River Bay.

After the Sons of Winter took control of King's Landing, Jack rode Korakshuu to the Red Keep.

Korakxiu blew up the door of the throne room with his tail, then he was the first to squeeze in after destroying everything along the way. He looked around, and after finding that there was no danger, he protected Jack and walked in.

It's not that Jack is too careful, but that Cersei, this crazy woman, can do anything without considering the consequences.

After Jack entered the hall, Hecarim followed in with a team of people. Jack's safety was the first priority in Hecarim's mind.

Looking at the Iron Throne covered with sword blades in the throne room, Jack had no interest at all. This tetanus blade had killed many Targaryen kings in history.

Almost all the subsequent wars in Westeros were related to this broken chair.

If Aegon Targaryen had not given this iron chair a special meaning, it would have been thrown away by a generation of Targaryen kings long ago.

Jack gently stroked the cold black throne. "This seat is a complete lie. It seems that whoever sits on it can rule the world and live forever."

Korakshuu tilted his head, and then dragon flames spurted out, instantly melting the Iron Throne into a pool of molten iron.

Jack: "."

Let's be frank. Jack wanted to show off and say some dirty words so that his highlight moment would be recorded in history books in the future.

Although Colax was very smart, his thinking was very different from that of humans. He twisted his head and rubbed Jack gently, indicating that Jack didn't need to thank him.

If I had known, I would have maintained the half-dragon spirit state. What bad luck!

But Jack didn't care. As the founding emperor of Atlantis, he believed that future generations would have all kinds of positive comments about him.

Looking at the pool of molten iron in front of him, Jack shook his head slightly. He was going to melt the Iron Throne and even raze the Red Castle.

After leaving the Red Castle, Jack rode Korakshu to the Sept of Baelor, a holy place for all believers of the Seven Gods. When Poseidon appeared, a large number of believers gathered here to pray.

Caraxus landed with a strong wind. The High Sparrow had been waiting for Jack here for a long time, or rather, when Cersei decided to surrender, he began to gather the Sons of War here.

However, the Sons of Winter received Jack's order before entering the city. After entering the city, they immediately arranged for 1,500 people to surround the Great Sept of Baelor and confront the Sons of War who gathered around the great spire.

Looking at Jack coming down from the dragon's back and walking towards him, the High Sparrow exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, just like a ruby."

The High Sparrow looked at Korakhu calmly, but his heart was full of desire. If the church could also have dragon riders, the faith of the Seven Gods should be able to spread to every corner of the world, right?

"Yes, he is beautiful, but the more dangerous he is, the more beautiful he is. Countless people have died from his dragon flame."

"Killing many people won't negate the fact that he is beautiful, right? I wonder why His Majesty allowed so many people to surround the cathedral?"

"I have another identity, did you know that?" Jack said to the High Sparrow.

Looking at the linen clothes and bare feet of the big sparrow, if you haven't read the original novel, you would really think that this is a sincere and wise believer who is devoted to spiritual practice.

As for the other identity that Jack mentioned, the High Sparrow naturally knew that Jack was also the Pope of the Cult of Poseidon.

This also surprised the High Sparrow, as it was rare to see someone serving as both king and pope at the same time.

So the High Sparrow continued to speak calmly: "Of course I know. You are the Pope of the Poseidon Cult. We are all servants of God and God's spokespersons."

"No, you are wrong, you are the servant of the Seven Gods who do not exist.

I am different, I am the god of the sea, and my will is the will of the god of the sea."

Jack pointed at the towering Poseidon and said, "Look, God is right there. There can only be one faith in Westeros, and that is me!"
