After sending out the warning, the Dragon Queen gathered her officials to discuss how to deal with the coming catastrophe.
Actually, there was only one topic: how to support the trading cities?
Well, the question of whether or not to support them was not even considered.
As long as Danny was not out of her mind, she would not refuse to help.
Even the people of Braavos had been discussing how to support the King's Landing with their own rations.
The Dragon Queen could not be less knowledgeable than them.
Don't forget, half of the western continent of Ursos belonged to her!
Slave Bay, Horse King City, and Queen's Corner were all in Ursos.
Moreover, if Ursos fell, the Frost God would be able to occupy more of the Heavenly Axiom of the Song of Ice and Fire world.
Not just the Westeros Heavenly Axiom, but the entire world.
That was why Dani had to support the free trade city-states.
The problem was, how?
After discussing with the officials of Dragonstone Island, Danny quickly came up with a preliminary decision: first, provide each city with enough atonement scrolls and Dragon Crystal weapons to ensure the fighting spirit and ability of the people of the city.
Secondly, he would transfer some of the experienced Volunteers from Westeros to the Free Trade City-States to serve as instructors for the city guards.
Finally, select a group of priests of the Seven Gods who had mastered the Eye of Justice to guard the newly built churches in the cities. With the Eye of Justice, they would investigate the faceless people and other ghosts in the cities.
Moon Singer Zanza was at least right about one thing: the Dragon Queen did not dare to personally help the city of Ursos.
She was afraid of being stabbed in the back.
It was not that the Westeros had higher moral integrity than the people of Ursos, but mainly because of their faith.
In the Westeros, no matter how low the moral integrity of the nobles were, after all, they had been believers of the Seven Gods for their entire lives. Their values and morals were in line with the teachings of the Seven Gods — although most of the time, they did things that went against their own values.
If the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms wanted to murder the Dragon Queen, it would definitely be for political reasons, and politics was the art of compromise.
As long as the nobles did not lose their minds, they would not stab the Dragon Queen in the back when she was helping them defend the city.
In most cases, they would be subdued by the Queen's charisma and power.
In the past, even some of the lesser lords had looked down on the Mad King's daughter. Now, even the most stubborn Randall Tarley and Madam Stoneheart, who had lost her kindness, were convinced by her.
But in the city-states of the Narrow Sea, other than political factors, what could influence the decisions of those in power was actually faith.
Politics can be compromised, but faith is blind and resolute.
Even if the Prince of Trade knew rationally that the Dragon Queen was helping them deal with the deviant ghosts and saving their city, once the gods intervened, reason and everything else would be replaced by faith.
Believers were willing to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of their beliefs, so why would they care about their rationality?
Care about the safety of the city?
Therefore, if the Dragon Queen could overturn the seas and rivers in the Westeros, she would rather have two heads when she went to the free trade city-states. The other head would be on guard against the arrows from the back.
She did not have two heads.
That was why she didn't dare to rescue Ursus.
Even if she couldn't do it herself, she would still provide great support to the free trade city-states.
That afternoon, the Sea King was still having a meeting with the priests. Blackie led 30 pterosaurs to form the Sky Army, carrying millions of atonement scrolls and hundreds of tons of Dragon Crystal weapons. They started from Braavos and went all the way south, dropping supplies to the Great Cathedral in every city.
Well, they weren't airdropped in the palace, but handed over to the Seven Sacred Halls in the city-states.
When the supplies were airdropped, the messenger crows of Dragonstone Island had not yet flown to the palaces of the city-states.
The next day, the combination of two priests and two holy knights began to descend on the Great Cathedral in each city-state.
The priests preached, explaining the current dire situation to the people, as well as the appearance, characteristics, habits, weaknesses of the deviant ghosts …
The holy knights recruited warriors to form the church's armed forces, publicly teaching combat skills against the deviant ghosts, providing free Dragon Crystal weapons, and arming the city guards.
The whole of the western continent of Ursus was shocked by the news announced by the Dragon Queen. Before they could recover from the shock, they were shocked by her efficiency and generosity.
"So swift and decisive, as expected of the Dragon Queen!"
Before the meeting with the priests ended, the Sea King received the news that the Dragon Queen had airdropped supplies against the deviant ghosts. While the Sea King was happy, he was also a little embarrassed.
His work efficiency was too low.
But soon, Danny was embarrassed too.
She hurriedly airdropped supplies, sent priests, and sent hundreds of Westeros volunteer knights after obtaining the consent of the princes of the city-states.
The people of the city-states were in a state of panic. They were on alert in every alley, checking every house day and night, and soldiers were on guard both inside and outside the city.
Her spiritual power was highly concentrated, and after half a month of torment …
Nothing happened, and not a single Faceless deviant ghost was found.
Of course, the princes and grand dukes of the city-states did not suspect that the Dragon Queen was lying, because the people of Braavos had already proven that the Faceless deviant ghost incident was not a misunderstanding.
The Sea King began to take action that day, piling up sandbags to encircle the House of Black and White, and throwing kerosene bombs to burn the House of Black and White.
But as soon as Jia Kun's identity was exposed, the Frost God sent a message to all the Faceless deviant ghosts.
At this time, there were not many deviant ghosts in the House of Black and White.
The Sea King's attack on the House of Black and White seemed to have lit a fuse that broke the tacit understanding on the surface.
The deviant ghosts then launched a tide of the living dead in the slums.
There were also Faceless disguised as assassins, madly assassinating the nobles, doctors, and key keepers in the city. More than a dozen nobles were wiped out, and even the Sea King was assassinated twice, and a chief swordsman died.
Half a month had passed, and not only did the tide of corpses in Braavos not subside, but it was also slowly but surely spreading in all directions like moldy spots.
Fortunately, Braavos was made up of many islands, and it was easier to divide the cataclysm area.
.....
What happened in Braavos clearly told everyone that the Faceless deviant ghosts were real, and the Dragon Queen was not lying.
After that, they found that the tombs of famous warriors inside and outside the city were empty, and a large number of babies were missing, which proved one thing: their city was on the verge of crisis, and it might fall tomorrow, or their families might be torn apart by the corpses in the next moment.
If terror came, they would numb their nerves and deal with it.
But now, terror was hanging over their necks like a guillotine, and it could fall down at any moment. The terror became more and more terrifying, and it made people anxious.
The princes, grand dukes, royalty, nobles, trade princes, freedmen, and slaves in the city-states were all in a state of anxiety and fear, and they began to frantically search for a way out.
Then, a secret message from the Sea King's palace about the gods spread like a plague, quickly spreading through the major city-states of Ursos.
Six thousand years ago, the Mandate of Heaven had predicted that Danny Rize would sacrifice herself to help Lahlo end the long night quickly.
Now, the Dragon Queen was afraid of death and resisted the Mandate of Heaven, but the gods insisted on the original track of fate.
So, the two sides were in conflict, and countless creatures in the world were used as chess pieces to play a game of savior.
Just as the Dragon Queen announced to the public, the gods knew that the Faceless deviant ghosts were scattered in the cities, but they still pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not care. It was because they wanted to fight for the title of savior, and they wanted to force the Dragon Queen to return to the path set by the Mandate of Heaven.
.....
Another week passed, and in front of the Pentos Holy Church, there was suddenly a group of civilians sitting quietly to show their power. They did not make a fuss, and they held up signs that said "Obey the Mandate of Heaven, End the Long Night" and "Quell the Wrath of the Gods", and with numb and hateful eyes, they stared at every monk and believer entering and leaving the Holy Church.
When the Dragon Queen heard about this, she was more surprised than angry, and through the center of the Magic Net, she gathered all the Holy Church Bishops in the Free Trade City-States for a meeting.
"Sigh, there were many people in the Sea King's palace at that time, and when the Red Bull Priest Niu Ben revealed the secrets of the gods, everyone was very shocked, and they would definitely tell the people around them.
Then the news spread, and everyone knew about it. "Bishop Sterling said to the glass candles that were shining with milky white holy light.
The cause of the incident was the mysterious news that the Red Bull Priest exposed.
However, the Red Bull Priest did not encourage the people to force the Dragon Queen to sacrifice herself for others, and he only objectively explained the conflict between the Dragon Queen and the gods.
After understanding the purpose of the gods, some people scolded the gods for being vicious, saying that they had worshipped them for thousands of years in vain, and since then they no longer believed in the gods that joined the Alliance of Justice.
Even more people were pressured by the threat of the deviant ghosts, but they never dared to resent the gods, and only hoped that as a "mortal", the Dragon Queen would consider the big picture, follow the will of heaven, sacrifice herself, and help the Red God.
This way, they would be able to escape the calamity of the Faceless Deviant Ghosts.
There was more than one person with this idea, and even more than a group of people.
"Not only Pentos, I also heard similar rumors in Tylosi, and it seems that the Grand Duke of Tylosi is behind this." The Holy Church Bishop of Tylosi said worriedly.
"I think we should take countermeasures, we can't let such rumors continue to spread." The Holy Church Bishop of Myer said seriously.
The Holy Church Bishop of Pentos said angrily: "Those people are crazy, His Majesty has always been at the forefront, fighting on the front line against the deviant ghosts, what is Lahlo doing, what can he do?
What are the gods doing?
They know that the Faceless Deviant Ghosts are spreading everywhere, but they don't report it, raising bandits for their own sake, can such gods be trusted?
Your Holiness, how about you cancel the Holy Church of Pentos and let me return to the King's Landing!
I'm not afraid of sacrifice, but I really don't want to sacrifice myself for such a Pentos person. "
The Holy Church Bishops were all furious, but as the person involved, the Dragon Queen wasn't too angry.
It wasn't that she didn't have a temper.
A long time ago, when Pale Moon Chu Nu came to turn herself in, she was told the Alliance of Justice's plan: to end the Long Night first, then use their power to pressure her, forcing her to bear the pressure of the entire world.
At the time, she was already angry, but now it was just a prediction that became reality.
Yep, it was a few years earlier than predicted.
The gods originally planned to end the Deviant Ghost King by summoning the sun to force her.
Who would've thought that the humans' performance was even worse than what the gods predicted, before the Deviant Ghost King was killed, they were already urging her to sacrifice herself for the big picture.
If she really sacrificed herself, would Lahlo be able to end the Long Night immediately?
The Dragon Queen sighed and ordered the Holy Church Bishops: "From today onwards, imitate the King's Landing Holy Church of Baylor, and transform your respective Holy Churches into castles.
Try not to go out and preach as much as possible, and don't go door to door to distribute Dragon Crystal weapons and atonement scrolls. If they need them, let them go to the Holy Church to get them.
Moreover, the atonement scrolls and weapons are no longer free, even if it's only a copper coin, you have to pay for it.
As for you, gather the true believers and stay in the Holy Church to recite scriptures, accumulate magic slots, and wait for the corpse tide. "
"Your Holiness, wouldn't this be too passive?" A Bishop asked.
The Dragon Queen warned seriously: "You have to understand one thing, the number one enemy of humans has always been the deviants.
The gods are shallow and despicable, the civilians are cowardly and ignorant.
Is the Church of the Seven Gods, the light of human civilization, as ignorant and shallow as them? "
In a split second, the Archbishops' blood surged, and their emotions surged.
Yes, the civilians and the nobles are ignorant and cowardly, the gods are cunning and evil, only the Seven Gods, only the disciples of the Church of the Seven Gods, can truly save the world.
Even if they walk alone in the long night, they have to be like Her Holiness the Pope, and maintain a pure and holy heart.
As soon as she went offline, the Dragon Queen called Dr. Marwin, gnashing her teeth: "I have unwillingness and resentment in my heart, I want revenge, I want to take the initiative to attack, help me contact Fat Sam!"
