Chapter 171 - 171 - War of the Four Kings (XVIII)

"Victory is victory, regardless of the means used." Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock and Guardian of the West.

-----------

Watching the army retreat towards the walls, Tytos and Raymun approached Sigismund and Kinvara. The expressions on their faces still showed shock and disbelief. There was no way not to feel that way after witnessing what had just happened.

"Are we going to let them retreat, Milady?" Tytos asked with a still confused tone. He looked at the woman and man before him with a touch of fear. He had personally seen the fight between Jaime, Sigismund and Kinvara. How could he not feel fear in the face of two beings who could kill him at will?

"Yes, the fight has just begun." Kinvara said. "Jaime Lannister will die at Harrenhal, but not now."

Looking at Tytos and Raymun, Kinvara spoke with a warm tone. "From now on, by the King's orders, the Faith of the Seven is forbidden to be preached in the Seven Kingdoms."

Tytos was indifferent to the woman's words, House Blackwood follows the Old Gods, it didn't matter what happened to the Faith of the Seven. However, he was an intelligent man, knowing that the Faith of the Seven would not be tolerated in the future, he also knew that the Faith of the Old Gods would not be tolerated either.

"Reverend Mother, whom should the people worship?" Tytos asked with a serious tone. Since he was on the King's side, he might as well take the King's side completely.

Kinvara looked at Tytos with a look full of appreciation, she really liked working with intelligent men. "The God Emperor of Mankind." The Reverend Mother spoke with a gentle tone full of respect.

Tytos' expression changed dramatically when he heard Kinvara's words.

"Humanity doesn't need Gods, only Your Grace is enough." Kinvara spoke again with a reverent tone. Although the words were contradictory due to the fact that she had faith in R'hllor, in her eyes, R'hllor and Aenar were the same being, so she felt nothing wrong in speaking such words.

Tytos made an extremely quick decision, he knelt before Kinvara and spoke with a reverent tone. "House Blackwood had followed the King in everything, since the Faith of the Emperor of Mankind is the only god, I, House Blackwood and my vassals have followed the New God."

Honestly, he wasn't that reluctant to accept the new religion, he had personally seen the miracle on the battlefield and even received the miracle himself. Instead of believing in gods who didn't care about him, he might as well believe in the God Emperor of Mankind.

Kinvara looked at the man kneeling before her with a smile on her lips. "God thanks you for your devotion and will not forget you, Lord Blackwood."

Tytos knew he had entered the heart of Aenar's government with Kinvara's words, he couldn't help but feel happy. He finally saw his chance to destroy House Bracken!

If House Blackwood joined House Targaryen, House Bracken will not join House Targaryen and destruction awaits this ancient royal lineage.

At the thought of House Bracken dying out in his generation, Tytos' mood was so happy that he smiled. When he died, he would be able to tell his ancestors that he had destroyed the odious House Bracken.

Seeing his expression, Kinvara remained indifferent. She was a woman of two hundred years, she knew very well that Nobles and important Houses only had interests in their eyes, anything else was irrelevant in the eyes of these Noble Houses.

But that didn't matter to Kinvara, as long as these Noble Houses allowed the preaching of the God Emperor of Moisture to the peasants, she could give power to these nobles.

Raymun hesitated for a moment, although the miracle was impactful, he had followed the Faith of the Seven for decades, asking him to change the faith he had believed in and prayed to for decades was somewhat difficult, but thinking about the continuity of his House, he made the decision quickly.

As a qualified Lord, the survival of House Darry was the most important thing, even if he was forced to betray his own faith.

"I am willing to follow the Faith of the Emperor of Mankind, Priestess." Raymun spoke with a serious tone, looking at the woman before him with a touch of fear and reverence.

Kinvara nodded, satisfaction showing on her beautiful face. "Lost lambs have returned to the fold, God will be pleased. There's nothing happier for a preacher than to see her religion growing and receiving new believers. Especially believers who believed in other gods. It just showed that her religion was better than other religions.

"Let's regroup, we'll attack Harrenhal with the cannons, the enemy can't sleep tonight." Sigismund finally spoke, looking at Oberyn and Tyrion, who had just arrived.

"Yes, My Lord." After seeing what Sigismund could do, neither Oberyn nor Tyrion dared show any casualness in the face of a monster capable of slaughtering thousands of people in a few minutes. They both saw what happened to the men of House Lannister when they attacked Sigismund.

Sigismund didn't mind the respectful tone of both men, he didn't want to earn the respect of others, that respect belonged only to the king and no one else.

"Let's begin." Sigismund ordered and walked towards the camp of House Targaryen's army.

Everyone followed Sigismund and arrived at the main tent, where Visenya, Rhaenys, Arianne and the Sand Snakes were waiting.

"That was shorter than I expected." Visenya commented when she saw the people entering the main tent. She looked at Titus and Sigismund with a clear expression of displeasure. She was still unhappy about not fighting alongside the soldiers.

"It was a victory." Sigismund answered the queen with a calm and respectful tone. Yes, in his eyes, it really was a victory, the God of the Seven Faces had been wounded to the point of having to retreat, if that wasn't considered a victory, he didn't know what else could be considered winning.

Visenya's expression relaxed at Sigismund's words, although she was still dissatisfied with previous events, she was genuinely happy with House Targaryen's victory. This will only boost the army's morale and make the still undecided noble houses turn towards House Targaryen again.

"What happened? I heard a painful moan a moment ago, it sounded like it came from my own mind." Rhaenys was also happy about House Targaryen's victory, but she couldn't help wondering what had happened on the battlefield.

Kinvara didn't hesitate to talk about the conspiracy that Aenar had planned and when he finished speaking, all but Titus, Sigismund and Kinvara showed shocked expressions.

"We've really managed to hurt a god." Visenya muttered with a still incredulous expression at Kinvara's words.

Aenar's plan could no longer be described as heresy, it was complete blasphemy.

If this plan was leaked to the peasants, she could imagine that there would be revolts everywhere, especially in the fiefdoms where the House Nobles were especially devoted to the Faith of the Seven.

"Don't worry, my queen." Kinvara certainly knew the consequences of Aenar's plans.

"Unlike King Jaehaerys, the King does not plan to have any peaceful relationship with the Faith of the Seven. My purpose on this continent is nothing more than to destroy the Faith of the Seven." She continued speaking with a cold tone. "It's best to kill all the fanatics and deeply devout before indoctrinating the less devout. That will greatly reduce the difficulty of indoctrinating people."

When she finished speaking, Tytos and Raymun looked at Kinvara with fear, the woman had decreed the death of hundreds of thousands of people with an indifferent expression, how could that not make them afraid?

Visenya and Rhaenys felt sad for these people, but this was a war for reconquest, and like any subversion of the state, the foundation for building a new order is hundreds of thousands or even millions of human lives.

"Just don't kill too many innocent people, try to indoctrinate them before you kill them." Visenya said with a sigh.

"My queen is very worried, although the fanatics have to be killed, the believers who deeply adored the Faith of the Seven can be saved. In the face of true miracles, even the strongest faith can crumble." Kinvara commented with a laugh, noting the expression of pity on the queen's face.

Visenya showed a more relaxed expression listening to the Reverend Mother's words. Although, as she said, the Fantastic Ones must be killed, other people had the chance to change their beliefs. Even if the chance was small, saving a few thousand or tens of thousands of people was a very good thing.
