After the fall of New Guise, the Allied Army carried out a vigorous "Rectification and Elimination of Traitors" campaign.
They believed that there were two possibilities for the military secrets of the Allied Army to be exposed. First, the Allied Army Commander had a big mouth and spread the contents of the high-level meetings everywhere. Second, there was a traitor in the Allied Army's upper echelons.
The rectification targeted the first possibility. The elimination of traitors targeted the second possibility.
In the operation to catch the traitor, the thing that shocked the Allied Army the most was the conflict between Cui Ge and Zaro.
Their positions were too high. One was the representative of Queers, the commander of the Third Fleet. The other was the representative of the Reese, Terosi, and Mill sisters alliance. They controlled almost a quarter of the Allied Army's logistics fleet.
If even those two betrayed the Allied Army, what hope did the Allied Army have?
The operation to catch the traitor almost destroyed the morale of the Allied Army. Fortunately, Jenny found out that the Dragon Queen was the real spy. She helped the two Commanders, who were already in prison, to unify their thinking. The Allied Army's higher-ups were united against a common enemy.
Speaking of which, how did Cui Ge and Zaro get involved?
Remember the second Dragon War in Meereen?
That was when Benny was ambushed by the Dragon Queen and destroyed by the Dragonslayer Horn.
After that incident, the Allied Army suspected that there was a traitor. Wargod Yuan Kai's suspect was Cui Ge.
Cui Ge's way of getting to the top was unreasonable. There seemed to be the shadow of the Dragon Queen behind him. His wife, Lynnis, and White Knight Garth were siblings. This relationship …
Wargod Yuan Kai secretly found Zaro and told him his suspicions. He also asked Zaro to ask his old friend when he went to Astapor to redeem the captives. (Chapter 524)
Zaro remembered his mission and really went to find Danny and Tyrion to ask for their opinions.
Damn it!
He just happened to find the two smartest and most cunning people in Slaver's Bay. They were also plotting against him. They intended to send the Winged Dragon Knight captives, who had a positioning system on them, back to the Allied Army.
Zaro naturally returned to New Guise with the answer "Cui Ge is suspected to be a traitor." Danny also knew that Zaro suspected Cui Ge.
On the night of the surprise attack on New Guise, she had deliberately arranged for Danny Si to go to Cui Ge's house to put on a show.
The letter that Danny asked Cui Ge to copy was written by Danny, who asked Scholar to imitate Zaro's handwriting and style.
At the time, Cui Ge only felt that the handwriting was a little familiar. Later, he secretly found Zanetti (who was from Xingis and could be considered a local) and asked him to help him collect the letters and documents of the commanders of the alliance.
Finally, Cui Ge found the scapegoat Dragon Queen had arranged for him, the "real" traitor in the alliance army: Zaro.
Zaro was an old acquaintance of the Dragon Queen, a friend who had gone through life and death together!
This was the reason why Zaro had betrayed Saudi Arabia.
In the beginning, Cui Ge remembered what Danny Si had said, "You two aren't the only spies in the upper echelons of the alliance." She didn't immediately report Zaro.
This was not a very smart decision, but it was a very safe one.
Thinking about Chen Yongren, if he was as calm as Cui Ge, after discovering Liu Jianming's identity as a black cop, he would not have been shot in the head.
But Zaro took the initiative to drag him down with him …
After Xingis fell, the commanders of the alliance army who had escaped death started to look for the reason for their failure.
Without thinking, even an idiot would know that there was a traitor in the army.
Then, the first person Zaro thought of was Cui Ge. He only needed to find Linnis to scare her, and Cui Ge was "exposed."
But from Cui Ge's point of view, Zaro betrayed the alliance army. Now that he was worried about being exposed, he naturally used him as a scapegoat.
How could he tolerate this?
He showed his cards.
He directly revealed the cause and effect of the matter to the public.
Dragon Queen framed him and made him fill in the hole for the real traitor.
Speaking of which, it was quite logical.
So, he and Zaro were both arrested.
Then, War God Yuan Kai was implicated from Zaro, and Zanetti seemed to be Cui Ge's accomplice. Then, they investigated Grazidan and Zanetti …
The entire upper echelons of the alliance army were panicking. It would be strange if their morale was not low.
If not for the sudden outbreak of the Blood Plague and the frequent activities of the shapeshifters, who knew how far the "Rectification and Elimination of Traitors Movement" would have developed.
Later on, although the two of them were rehabilitated, they still had a deep grudge against each other. They even suspected that the other was a traitor, because …
They were traitors themselves!
"… That's it. Jenny did have a trump card, but she didn't trust us and didn't say it in public during the meeting.
But don't worry, Your Majesty, I will continue to follow up on this matter. "
After the meeting, they returned to the flagship of the Third Fleet. Zaro was in the captain's room. He spoke softly to the petrel that landed on the table.
"… The Ragged Prince is a believer of Bellerion. He knows Jenny's secret. The Long-Nosed King seems to know something as well. I suspect that it has something to do with the elephant soldiers.
I suggest that Your Majesty invest more espionage resources in the elephant soldiers.
Also, the East Army is about to make a strategic shift … "
After the meeting, they returned to Jean Island. Without telling his wife, Cui Ge spoke to a raven in his study.
Uh, they weren't traitors, but after being locked up as traitors for a period of time and being coerced by Danny multiple times — through the raven, they really became traitors.
First of all, they were both wronged and had resentment in their hearts.
They blamed the Dragon Queen for being cunning, and secretly hated their allies for not trusting them.
Secondly, Dani had both of them on the hook.
Cui Ge was able to rise to the throne because the Dragon Queen rode a dragon and burned Prince Reis to death. But the Dragon Queen was able to accurately locate the locations of the Princes because of Linniss' guidance.
Linniss was Cui Ge's wife. Cui Ge benefited the most from the deaths of the Princes.
Zaro didn't have anything on him, but the Dragon Queen knew his house number.
Last time when she went to Kuers' Raging Flames City, she purposely avoided Zaro's mansion and the warehouse at the docks.
If he didn't agree today, she might correct her mistake tomorrow — burn Zaro until he was penniless.
Lastly, and most importantly, benefits!
The Dragon Queen promised them wealth and status.
When the alliance was first formed, the Dragon Queen's promise wasn't worth a single copper coin. Because in the beginning of the war, in everyone's hearts, she was bound to lose.
What was the use of a loser's promise?
But the Battle of Toros, the Battle of Meereen, the fall of Xingis, the Blood Plague of the Eastern Army, the departure of the Centaurs of the Northern Army, and the daily attacks of the Dragon Queen …
The alliance wasn't made of iron, and it was even more impossible for everyone to have an iron will.
After going through this series of events, how could they not be discouraged and depressed? How could they not be shrouded in a shadow?
.....
Oros.
Outside the Holy Church where Danny received the inheritance of the Great Wizard.
In the sea of lava, black pillars of smoke rose from the endless dark red sea. The seawater boiled, and white steam rose from the surface.
"I understand that there is a traitor among the higher-ups of the alliance, so I only told you the secret. “
At the edge of the cliff, the hot sea breeze mixed with the smell of sulfur fluttered Jenny's cloak. Her porcelain doll-like face was illuminated by the red light surging from the bottom of the sea.
"What do you want to do?" The Prince in Ragged Clothes was drenched in sweat as he asked with a hoarse voice.
He was an old noble of Pentos, a descendant of Valleglia, and even a branch family of Belleris. After the Great Calamity, he still believed in the ancient god of Valleglia — Bellerion.
So, after seeing Jenny, he completely gave up on all contact with the Dragon Queen.
But he was still a normal person, and he was not used to the high temperature and high magic radiation of this cursed land.
"Under this sea, there is still the earth fire of the fourteen Fire Peaks." Jenny opened her arms and embraced the entire world. Her voice was loud and her expression proud. "Do you know what this means?"
"It means that I can rebuild a core of the Magic Net at any time in Oros, in the Holy Church by the sea. Its power is a hundred times, a thousand times greater than on Dragonstone Island."
"Core of the Magic Net? What's the use of it for the upcoming battle of Meereen? "The Prince in Ragged Clothes was confused.
"Hehe, in an information war, I can seal off all the glass candles in the world and turn all the wizards in the world blind and deaf. In a magic war, I can …"
Jenny's voice stopped abruptly. The fervent look on her face suddenly turned into regret.
"Unfortunately, the gods have sealed this world. The power of the magic power tower cannot be transmitted out, so it cannot provide me with unlimited magic power on the frontlines."
"Even if we can obtain an information advantage, it's already good enough." The Prince in Ragged Clothes said excitedly, "Coincidentally, You Lun contacted us at the King's Landing. Perhaps we can send a team of pterosaurs to the Westeros and seal off the Magic Net on Dragonstone Island before taking down Aegon!"
Jenny's eyes lit up. She nodded with a smile and said, "Good idea. If we take down Aegon, we might be able to threaten her. Even if she wasn't threatened, sacrificing him before the final battle would still cause her to go crazy, and then … "
"Then, my little baby will be able to make a grand entrance. “
"Boom!" Before she finished speaking, the steaming sea of smoke suddenly exploded with a splash that was forty to fifty meters tall.
"Ang —" The gray clouds in the sky seemed to have been blown away, revealing a thin layer of sunlight.
The Prince in Ragged Clothes widened his eyes and knelt on the ground. He muttered with a trembling voice, "Belerien above, so big …"
"Big? No, this is still in its infancy. Wait until I build the magic crystal tower and inject magic power into its body …
At that time, even Danny Rize's five little worms will not be enough for it to chew on, hahahaha! "
— — Valleglia is indeed powerful, and Belerien is indeed powerful. She actually has such a powerful weapon. No wonder 200,000 centaurs could not move her.
The Prince in Ragged Clothes was excited.
.....
When Danny received the report and began to think hard about what other powerful weapon Jenny could bring out, something happened in the Westeros.
Toman the First was dead.
Toman was ten years old this year. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was a chubby little fatty. His personality was as harmless as his body. He was gentle and shy, liked to read, and loved to play with cats, dogs and other small animals.
The past two years had been quite difficult for Fat Toman. First, his mother was arrested by Da Sparrow and paraded through the streets.
Then, his wife drank moon tea and everyone knew about it.
The people of King's Landing did not think that Margaery was wrong. Instead, they thought that he was incapable and could not satisfy "Holy Mother Margaery".
He was still young and didn't know much about the matters between men and women, so no one would gossip about him.
However, his mother suddenly locked his wife up and even killed his father-in-law's family … Not long after, it was revealed that his own biological brother, Emperor Joffrey, was killed by his wife … Oh, no, she was still his sister-in-law at that time!
Now, Toman was finally free. He had completely jumped out of the mud pit of King's Landing and returned to the embrace of the Holy Mother. Er, that was what Da Sparrow said. Blackie and Danny did not agree with it.
This morning, the maid waited outside the king's bedroom for a long time. When she did not hear Toman the First's call, she went into the bedroom with White Knight Marin Tran. She was shocked to see that the king's face was swollen and purple. There was a black blood scab at the corner of his mouth.
Sir Marin put his hand under his nose to check if he was breathing …
There was no need to. His body was stiff and had no temperature. There were also livor mortis below his neck.
The Red Keep immediately fell into chaos.
Cersei almost broke down. She hugged her son's body and cried. She was heartbroken.
Just as she ordered the Demon Mountain to slaughter the attendants in the Thoman Palace, her cousin Sir Davon reminded her that the dead might not necessarily be unable to be resurrected. It was better to leave the attendants for interrogation and go to the Great Sage Hall to invite the Great Sparrow.
Since the trial, Cersei returned to the Great Cathedral of Baylor for the first time.
When she arrived at the Great Cathedral, she found that there were more believers praying to the Seven Gods.
There was also a long queue in front of the marble square. There were people in gray clothes, nobles in brocade robes, and knights with swords on their waists …
Cersei had just woken up. She was still in her pajamas. Her clothes were messy, and her hair was loose. She was barefoot. She carried Toman and galloped over on her horse. She only stopped when she reached the stone steps of the podium.
She did not wait in line. She carried her fat son, who was almost 100 pounds, and squeezed through the crowd like a crazy woman. She shouted, "Chief Archbishop, Da Sparrow, help!"
Da Sparrow was at the door of the Holy Mother. She pressed her hand on the head of a sick little girl and treated her. She did not know what illness it was. Anyway, the Holy Healing Spell did not have any side effects.
"Your Highness?"
Cersei's face was distorted like a crazy demon. Da Sparrow was so scared that she almost could not recognize her.
"Chief Archbishop, the Holy Mother is merciful. Please save my son!" Cersei no longer had her usual fierceness and pride. She knelt in front of Da Sparrow. She was as fragile as a reed flower in winter, crying and begging.
"Ah, King Toman, King Toman —" Da Sparrow did not see the person in Cersei's arms. They also saw Toman's bruised and swollen face.
Hesitation flashed across the Old Sparrow's face. He was about to ignore them, but when he saw Cersei's miserable state, he remembered the doctrine of 'Mother of Mercy'. He sighed and said, "Let's go to the inner hall."
Da Sparrow saw a few white knights coming from afar. He said coldly, "Demons are not allowed to enter the sacred place."
In the end, only Cersei and Sir Marin entered the Great Cathedral.
Danny then knew that Toman was dead.
Da Sparrow did not fool Cersei. Da Sparrow prayed to the Holy Mother. Although Toman the First was a bastard, he was usually obedient and kind. Every month during the festival, he would come to the Great Cathedral to pray, hoping that the Holy Mother would show him mercy and give him a miracle.
Da Sparrow was not just being kind. If the Seven Gods could resurrect a king, it would mean …
However, the Holy Mother could not resurrect a dead person whose soul was nowhere to be found.
Toman might believe in the Seven Gods, but he did not even have the 50 faith points of a devout believer. He was far from the 200 faith points of a Saint.
In other words, he could not open the Gate of Faith. His soul could not enter the Space of Faith of the Seven Gods.
"This is fate. He has been dead for too long …" Da Sparrow said regretfully.
