Because people have limitations, they cannot escape from their own limitations, their powerlessness in the face of suffering, their helplessness in the face of pain, their incomprehension in the face of confusion,
By nature, they want someone to take them beyond the ordinary.
The fluctuations emitted when Lin En's mental power surged, at this special moment, led everyone's spirit to transcend and merge with everything. They seemed to be truly kneeling in front of God!
Vast, infinite, joy!
That kind of extraordinary experience is extremely strong! Even if you experience it only once, it is enough to conquer anyone, and it will eliminate all doubts and make you unswervingly commit to it from now on!
No matter how many sermons others preach to them or how many ecstasy soups are instilled in them, it will be of no use. Compared with the real experience, illusory language is too weak to convince, too weak!
No matter how devout the Seven Gods are in their faith, no one has ever seen or felt it before!
If someone tells them that the Seven Gods are the true gods again, they will probably spit in his face!
…
Since Lin En became king, the situation has changed even more strangely.
from north to south,
After Jon of the North killed Little Flay, he established himself as the King of the North with the support of many nobles in the valley and the north. In addition to the entire northern territory, the territory also included the valley and including Jingze and Luanhe City.
A large area between the rivers. In terms of area, all north of the Sancha River is his territory, occupying less than half of the Westeros continent.
The only pity is that except for the valleys, most of these places are icy and snowy, vast and sparsely populated. Moreover, after years of wars, the war potential has been drained to the extreme!
The situation of the Lannister family in the West is much better. After allying with Dorne, they support the Messiah Foundation!
Queen Myrcella named Jaime the Warden of the West and the Duke of Casterly Rock.
The army of the Lannister family was stationed all the way in Riverrun, controlling most of the fertile land in the Riverlands, and at the same time faced off with the army of the North across the Sancha River.
Another group of troops followed the coastal road directly into the Reach. The army loomed threatening Highgarden, and the Tyrell family hurriedly summoned an army to defend Highgarden.
At the same time, Dorne's army marched out along the Prince's Pass. The nobles of the Reach, led by Randyll Tarly, fought hard. The two sides fought on the vast plains of the Mander River Basin.
Including the King of the Iron Islands, King's Landing of the Papal Kingdom, and Lyn, the King of the Stormlands.
The second War of the Five Kings has completely kicked off with a bloodier, more thorough, and grander start!
…
The war that lasted for many years spread throughout the continent of Westeros, leaving bones exposed in the wild in many places, no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and countless people displaced.
A life of suffering is a fertile ground for religion to breed. The strength of the Papal State has grown crazily! The number of Star Knights composed of civilians has increased dramatically! Since there are churches everywhere, knights are being formed, and there are no restrictions on joining, the number of people is almost impossible to count.
, I only know that the approximate number has exceeded one hundred thousand!
As the top force of the church, the Knights of the Holy Sword also have more than 20,000 members. Their soldiers are of extremely high quality. Most of them are strong knights or nobles from well-off families. They are well-equipped and their training intensity is terrifying with the blessing of faith.
!
The land controlled by the church is also expanding, and the edge of power to the north has crossed the Lake of Tears, Harrenhal, Lannister and the northern border in the Sancha River Basin.
The territory of the River Tully family, one of the Seven Kingdoms, was divided up among the three families, and a large number of people migrated into the Papal State.
Across the Blackwater River to the south from King's Landing is the Forbidden Forest. This is the territory of the Stormlands. Lynn has established a defense line here and will not cross the line. He will never allow the Papal State to cross the border!
If the Papal State is the biggest beneficiary of the Northern War, then Lynn of the Stormlands is the beneficiary of the War in the Reach. In terms of population alone, in just one year, the influx of people has increased the population of the Stormlands.
More than double!
The Reach is located in the Great Plains of the Mander River Basin. There has been almost no war for a hundred years. It has been peaceful for many years. The population is huge and the quality of the personnel is extremely high. At least there are many more literate people than in other places!
In addition, Rose Margaery of Highgarden is Linn's fiancée. In the eyes of the common people of the Reach, she is their family.
The administrative talents trained by Lin En have gradually become qualified and experienced. Under a set of effective policies, all immigrants have been properly resettled.
The younger ones enter school, the older ones who are literate can go for further training, and those who are illiterate can also join the army.
With the help of these river bend natives, the edge of Stormland's influence gradually expanded eastward, reaching the vicinity of Green Valley City.
The nobles of the River Bend, who were struggling to resist the two-sided attack of Lannister and Dorne, only dared to protest in a low voice, and did not even dare to speak louder, for fear that Linn, the fierce dragon, would tear off his disguise and rush into the chessboard, and then the River Bend would really
It’s beyond redemption!
In this delicate balance,
A shit stirrer appeared,
The Iron Islands change ownership!
The Iron King Balon died mysteriously, and the Iron Islands held their first King Selection in thousands of years. In the end, King Balon's exiled brother, the pirate Yoren, became the new Iron King!
King Balon's two children, Theon and Asha, fled with the fleet.
Queen Cersei, who was almost under house arrest in Dorne, made great achievements. She successfully formed an alliance with Yoren, and Yoren promised to hold off Highgarden's Arbor fleet.
Ever since the Young Dragon King discovered Dorne's fatal weakness, the Green Blood River, Dorne, which lacks a navy, has been afraid to stab it. Now the ferocious and ruthless Yoren has surrounded the Qing Pavilion. Dorne no longer has any worries. The eldest princess Arianne personally
Leading troops on an expedition,
Dorne almost devoted all its strength, sent out all its capable soldiers, and conquered the Dornishmen who were good at fighting. They struck the Reach with a heavy blow from the beginning!
Along the mountains of the Dorne Frontier, we headed southwest, continuously attacking Starburst Castle, Rivendell Castle, and Horn Hill Castle along the way.
And they bypassed the heavily guarded High Court and went straight into the sacred land of Liangshui City.
Princess Arianne’s reputation for being able to fight resounds throughout the world!
Moreover, once Brightwater is captured, the Dornish people can go down the Mead River and attack the old town at any time!
At this time, the nobles in the entire river bend seemed to suddenly wake up!
Dorn's purpose this time is definitely different from before. They are not just taking advantage of the past and leaving, as they did in the past, but they want to establish a firm foothold in the Reach!
If Arianne is really allowed to attack Old Town, then as long as she blocks Horn Hill with heavy troops, she can easily take over a large area of land from Old Town to the Mander River!
This land has a prosperous economy, fertile land, and a large population, and its area is only slightly smaller than the Stormlands!
And geographically, there is only a not-too-wide bay separated from Dorne, and opposite is Dorne's Starfall City!
Arianne can completely rely on this land to become her own country.
The Queen of Thorns in Highgarden could no longer care about the opinions of the nobles in her territory, and wrote a letter to Linn personally asking for help!
