  Chapter 243: The dragon-shooting crossbow is useless!

"Where does he get the money?" the High Sparrow blurted out.

"The Poseidon family has a base on the other side of the continent, and they make money faster than the Iron Bank." Cersei chuckled, "Now do you understand what I meant by the previous few sentences?"

"My Lord Bishop, I am waiting for you in the Imperial Hall. I believe you will make the right choice. The faith of the Seven Gods depends on your thoughts."

After saying that, Cersei turned and left. She felt that the High Sparrow would definitely stand on the side of the Iron Throne, unless the High Sparrow really wanted the faith of the Seven Gods to disappear.

The High Sparrow looked at Cersei's departing back, his expression unchanged, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The next day, the High Sparrow went to find Cersei. After the High Sparrow left, Cersei convened a royal meeting and brought the High Sparrow in. At the same time, she once again gave the church the power to form the Sons of War.

After gaining power, the High Sparrow returned to the cathedral and immediately began to form the Sons of War. Even under the High Sparrow's deception, more than a hundred wandering knights joined the Sons of War.

However, Cersei did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and even disbanded the capital guard on the spot.

In order to maintain the faith of the Seven Gods, the High Sparrow began to preach in King's Landing, portraying the Cult of Poseidon as a heretical cult that eats human flesh and drinks human blood.

The people of King's Landing began to fear the Cult of Poseidon and the Poseidon family like the plague.

Jack, on the other hand, was not aware of the changes in King's Landing for the time being. He assembled 10,000 naval forces and personally led Korakhu to join the battle.

Because of Alexander's affairs, Elizabeth has now become the new crown prince of the empire. She was brought back to Sea King Island by Daenerys and taught by Asidorf.

Now that Poseidon has grown up, he is on his way to Westeros and will arrive in three days at most.

The 10,000-man navy was composed of the Northern Fleet, which was expanded from the Iron Fleet and the White Harbor Fleet. After gathering, it quickly sailed towards the Iron Islands.

When Jack's navy arrived at the Iron Islands, Euron's fleet was still attacking the Arbor.

Euron ignored the negotiations between Cersei and Highgarden and went straight to the Arbor.

This move made Highgarden feel that Cersei's negotiations were simply a delay, so the two sides went to war directly.

But Cersei had already made preparations. Jaime assembled 50,000 elite troops in the Westerlands, and 10,000 in the Stormlands and the Crownlands, for a total of 60,000.

The Frey family of the Riverlands gathered their troops and stood ready at the Twins to prevent a surprise attack from the North.

Highgarden directly mobilized 120,000 men, but unfortunately the gap between the conscripts from the Reach and the elite troops from the Westerlands was too large. Even with the command of Randyll Tarly, they could only keep shrinking the front line.

After all, Jaime and Kevan are not just there to do the work, and their ability to lead troops is also very strong.

Because the Arbor Fleet did not expect Euron Greyjoy to suddenly attack during the negotiations, they were defeated by Euron's fleet for a while. When they were about to collapse, Euron's fleet suddenly retreated.

The reason Euron retreated was that he had just received news that the Iron Islands had been occupied by Asha Greyjoy.

This made Euron very excited. Ever since Asha Greyjoy and Jack Poseidon joined forces, he had always wanted to kill Asha Greyjoy once and for all.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

Euron hurried back to the Iron Islands, at which time the nobles on the Iron Islands had almost been liquidated by Asha Greyjoy.

All those who actively supported Euron Greyjoy were ordered to be executed by Asha Greyjoy, and their property was confiscated.

Due to the power of Korakshu, these nobles did not organize any decent resistance.

Any castle or army would be like paper in front of Korakshu and would break at the slightest touch.

The 10,000-man navy was divided into two, with the Iron Fleet remaining in the Iron Islands to prepare for battle against Euron Greyjoy's fleet.

The Northern Navy traveled between the Iron Islands and the North, sending the Northern nobles who were preparing to watch the show to the Iron Islands, and assisting Asha in managing the Iron Islands.

At the same time, Jack also equipped these nobles with varying numbers of Unsullied, who could protect and assist the Northern nobles while also being able to monitor them well.

Soon after, news of Euron's return reached Pyke.

Jack, who was deploying troops on the ship at the time, rode directly on Korakshu after receiving the news and entered the dragon spirit state.

He wants to use his actions to tell the world that shooting dragons with a crossbow is useless!

With a roar from Korakxiu, the man and the dragon disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Euron on the Silence had a confident and elegant smile on his face. Under his Silence, a huge shadow was wriggling.

At this time, Euron's giant squid was already eighty meters long, while the dragon of Poseidon's family was probably not even twenty meters long. As long as it found an opportunity, the giant squid could strangle the dragon in an instant.

The dragon-shooting crossbow was just a cover, and the dragonbinder horn was not sure whether it could really control the dragon. Only the giant squid was the confidence for Euron to face the dragon!

Just as Euron Greyjoy was thinking about the possibility of using the dragonbinder horn to control the dragon after beating it to death, the giant squid at the bottom of the ship suddenly became restless.

Euron frowned and looked up with something in his mind. Suddenly, clouds surged in the distant sky, and a scarlet figure was rushing towards him rapidly.

"Dragon!" Euron shouted. Korakshuu was too fast and he didn't have time to aim with the dragon crossbow. If he didn't want to be roasted into a suckling pig, he could only jump into the sea quickly.
