Chapter 112 Where is Cersei?

James' expression was extremely sad,

He has had this expression ever since he learned that Myrcella was missing, and sincerely asked everyone to pay attention to the news about Myrcella. If possible, he would be willing to pay any price in exchange for her safety.

Tyrion comforted him and said: "Myrcella will be safe! No matter how crazy Cersei is, she will never hurt her daughter!"

James shook his head and said: "She is really crazy. I really can't guess what other terrible things she can do!"

After saying that, he said goodbye to Lin En feebly and left.

Brienne hesitated several times, Tyrion saw it,

"Sir Brienne, I am worried about Jaime's condition. Can you please take care of him?"

This is of course an excuse,

Many people are aware of the slight anomaly between Brienne and Jaime. Tyrion's words also mean that they can help the situation and kill two birds with one stone.

Brienne couldn't think of that much, but sometimes all it takes is a simple excuse to take a step forward.

She nodded and quickly followed James.

Tyrion then said goodbye and left with Snow.

In the few days after everyone returned, they received more news about the war between the Kingdom of Storms and Dorne.

When they learned that Lin En had mobilized a hundred thousand troops to attack Dorne in two groups, together with a huge fleet, the expressions on everyone's faces were indescribable.

Horror? Or despair!

Or both!

What's even more frightening is that it has only been twenty days since the army started attacking, and most of the cities in the entire Dorne Territory have been captured.

Unimaginable speed!

Dorne was once known for its proficiency in battle and extraordinary toughness. It fought against Aegon the Conqueror for more than ten years without fail, and even killed a dragon and the queen, forcing Aegon to stop.

It’s unimaginable that it could be destroyed in such a short period of time!

Linn's army hardly looked like they were fighting, but running at a rapid march to capture Dorne.

If they came to Linn with this question, he might explain why he issued the order to occupy Dorne for a month.

In fact, the reason why there are such exaggerated results is

One is because Dorne really has no troops. Linn wiped out one-third of their troops in the Mesopotamia peninsula.

Then the eldest princess led a large army out of Yesong City and captured the city in the river bend. It seemed that they were winning every step of the way, but what kind of war can avoid death?

Not to mention the subsequent defeat of the Golden Company at the gates of Highgarden City, which was an even more disastrous defeat!

Third, after Dorne was controlled by Cersei, she recruited a new group of new soldiers to fight.

It can be said that Dorne, which has a small population, has almost been drained of its war potential.

Under the thunderous blow of Lin En's 100,000-strong army, these untrained, unequipped, and unqualified recruits were defeated in a single battle.

Not to mention that the leader of the army was Arianne, the eldest princess of Dorne. This identity destroyed the will of the Dornish people to resist, and failure was inevitable!



Tyrion began to withdraw from the valley with the remaining troops, and Snow and his northern army retreated to Riverrun.

Jaime simply retreated to Casterly Rock.

Everyone unanimously and deliberately avoided Lin En's overwhelming military pressure.

Everyone knows that that day will come sooner or later, but before then, bury your head and try your best to fight against the long winter in front of you.

The most important thing to fight against the long winter is food. There are only two ways to obtain food, either grow it yourself or buy it from outside.

Nowadays, the grain production in the land has been greatly reduced, and most of them are harvested. If you want to buy it, you have been fighting for so many years. Who still has money? Besides, can you buy it if you have money?

Only the south of the entire continent has been least affected by winter and can still continue to grow food.

And Linn has completely occupied the entire south of Westeros.

Some people have even decided to surrender to Linn when the extreme cold reaches its extreme! This can at least save their lives.

There are not a few people who think this way, and as winter gets longer and longer, more and more people will think this way, eventually forming a wave.

By that time, Linn's army didn't even need to fight. It only needed to bring food, and people would rush to open the city gate and chop off the heads of anyone who stopped surrendering.

In addition to the food problem, which has almost no solution, there is another thing that has been attracting the attention of many people, and that is,

Where is Cersei?

If there is anyone in the world who wants Cersei to die immediately, it is Jon Snow and Tyrion!

Both of them had loved ones who died at the hands of Cersei, Tyrion's Shae, Snow's Eddard and Daenerys.

The hatred between them and Cersei is as deep as the ocean, and only one of them survives in this world!

Fortunately, Cersei didn't keep everyone waiting.

A month later, all the forces received a letter from the church.

The letter stated that Myrcella, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, would receive the Pope's blessing at King's Landing.

Queen Myrcella and Queen Mother Cersei returned to the Red Keep?

"How is this possible?" Arya exclaimed after reading the letter.

"Cersei escaped from King's Landing after blowing up the Great Sept of Baelor and causing a riot. Now she can actually go back? Are the people of King's Landing so forgetful?"

Lin En stretched out his hand to press down the hair that exploded on her head, and said without surprise: "Why is it impossible?"

"The temple was blown up, but no one saw with their own eyes that it was Cersei who blew it up, and the old sparrow didn't die, nor did the main members of the church. Most of the dead were nobles in King's Landing."

"With the overwhelming situation of the church in King's Landing now, those half-dead nobles can't make a sound. This has been evident since the last truce at Harrenhal and the peace talks."

Arya was still in disbelief, "Then why would the church be willing to accept Cersei back?"

"The church needs a titular king to accept the Pope's blessing, so as to show the status of the Pope. Who is more suitable than Myrcella? Let Myrcella return to King's Landing, which will be beneficial to both of them! Cersei gets

The church’s forgiveness may also be one of the conditions.”

Of course the church is willing to accept the Messiah. Their current status depends on two decrees to restore the church's judicial power and armed power.

And these two decrees were both issued by King Tommen. The church must recognize the legitimacy of Tommen, so it must recognize the legitimacy of Messila.

"And, look at this report."

Linn took a document from the thick pile on the table and handed it to Alya.

She took it and looked at it doubtfully. It was an ordinary record, recording the daily rations that ordinary people in King's Landing received.

That's right, since knowing the news that winter has arrived, the church purchased all the merchants' grain, then hoarded it and distributed it in quota.

This move was considered swift, decisive and effective at the time.

They collect food from various places and transport it to King's Landing. Then the church distributes it uniformly. This can not only concentrate efforts to reduce waste, but also improve the image of the church and consolidate its dominance.

But this is not foolproof. The biggest shortcoming of the church is that

Don’t create it yourself!
