Chapter 42: The Power of Magic
"Do you think what he said is true? Has the Wraith really returned? ”
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I believe what the teacher said. He said he was from north of the Great Wall and had seen them with his own eyes. ”
Instead of dwelling on the issue, Rob asked, "Do you think your teacher is capable of doing that?" ”
"To do what?"
"Break the gates of King's Landing."
"Hehe, you're underestimating the power of magic. We don't need a teacher to do it, a few of us can do it. ”
"That is King's Landing, it has not been conquered in thousands of years."
"Then it should start preparing to accept the first fall." Sassanid said confidently.
In the early morning of the next day, Rob invited Lin Xuan to the coach's tent early.
"If you can really break the city, I want to know how you can break it, how much time it will take, and in what way?"
"Looks like you've made up your mind. Then assemble your army. The show is about to begin. Lin Xuan didn't answer Robb's question directly, he just got up and started to prepare.
King's Landing's walls are more than fifty meters tall and have never fallen for thousands of years. Even the end of the last Targaryen dynasty was fought from within. The Lannister soldiers defending the city looked very relaxed. The enemy had only carried out a few painless sieges, and the lightness did not feel like a war.
Several soldiers were chatting about the two huge dragons and birds that had fallen in the opposing camp yesterday.
"I think it must have been the same magician in King's Landing who saved Sassanid Stark, and this time he must be on the northern side."
"There's nothing absolute, don't forget that we're behind the Lannisters. It doesn't matter who it is, if you smash it down with a pile of gold, you will immediately become your own person. ”
"But that's a magician, how do you know he likes gold? Maybe he could turn a stone into gold with just a breath? ”
"That's, there's no magic, and no one doesn't like gold."
"But......" The other person was just about to refute, only to see the opposite camp suddenly change and make way for a passage. Then they saw a couple of fifteen or sixteen-year-olds coming out.
"Kids, what are you doing?"
Katie was at the forefront, this time she was the main attacker, and the rest of the people were all here to assist her.
Katie pulled out a fist-sized crystal bottle. Inside the bottle is an emerald green, viscous liquid. The bottle was densely engraved with a large number of runes. This is specially made by Lin Xuan for Katie, and it is used to hold the ultra-high condensed version of Katie's Fire. The bottle is engraved with runes, which are used to stabilize Queen's Fire from naturalness and enhance its lethality.
A flame appeared in Katie's hand. The flames enveloped the crystal bottle, but under the protection of the runes, it did not touch the 'Katie Fire' inside. Behind her, Ray and the other three magic apprentices began to prepare a trick at the same time.
It's still a few kilometers from the city gates. With Katie's level of magic, it's hard to shoot fireballs directly at the gates. That's why you need the help of your teammates. Four magic apprentices team up to create an extraordinarily long downwind passage for Katie's fireball. As Katie's magic was completed, fireballs shot out wrapped in crystal bottles, rushing down the constructed downwind passage towards the gates of King's Landing.
The soldiers on the city wall saw the movements of Katie and the others, but because of the distance, they could only see it, and they released a fireball from a distance.
"What can a fireball of this size do? It's hard to burn down the city gates. "That's what most soldiers think. But there are also veterans who have experienced a lot of battles and feel the danger coming, but it is too late.
With the blessing of precision, the fireball accurately hit the gates of King's Landing. The fireball exploded instantly, destroying the crystal bottle. A condensed version of 'Katie's Fire' is exposed to the range of fire elemental burns. All the energy exploded and amplified in this instant.
In the eyes of the soldiers in the north, they only saw the little girl release a small fireball beyond the city gate. However, the next moment, the gates of King's Landing seemed to be deformed in an instant. Immediately afterwards, a green flame erupted at the city gate.
In the stunned eyes of all the soldiers, they saw the city gate fly into the sky. Flew into the sky in a fragmented way. The flames mixed with the shockwave spread out at a seemingly slow but terrifying speed. In the eyes of everyone, a wave of green fire hit the military camp in the north. It was only then that the loud explosion reached everyone's ears.
All the northern soldiers stared at everything in front of them in amazement, and no one even thought to dodge. Lin Xuan raised his hand and wanted the current wave of heat. But after thinking about it for a while, I still didn't move. He needed to let the soldiers experience the power of magic first-hand so they could remain in awe. At the same time, they will have hope when they face the undead legions. Moreover, the distance of thousands of meters is enough to consume the power of the heat wave, and even if you reach the barracks, there will be no deaths.
The heat wave still blew to the military camps in the north. For a moment, the soldiers in the front row only felt a hot wind blowing on their bodies. The scorching air entered the throat, making it impossible to even shout.
"Is this the power of magic?" Rob's tone even trembled a little.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg of magic. A few gadgets made by children who have just been in magic for half a year. True magic is far more terrifying than that. ”
King's Landing, all the soldiers standing above the gates were burned to ashes by the explosion. The rest of the soldiers stared blankly at all this in front of them.
"Where are the gates? Where are our gates? Why is it gone. ”
The hot air burned everyone's skin. But no one cared, they still couldn't accept the fact that the city gates were gone. All the inhabitants of King's Landing heard the explosion. They didn't know what was happening, so they could only kneel on the ground in vain and beg for forgiveness from the old and new gods.
The news reached the inner city. Duke Tywin was in disbelief at first hearing the news. But from the top of the cathedral, you can see the city gates. Everything was clearly displayed in front of his eyes. Duke Tywin only felt a softness under his feet, and he actually sat down directly on the ground.
In fact, in this explosion, the dead and wounded soldiers were far from being broken to the point of breaking their bones. But all the soldiers were frightened by the earth-shattering explosion. More than thirty percent of the soldiers dropped their weapons and began to run back. The Warlords didn't work as well as they should. Because even they are thinking about whether it is time to withdraw. The entire city wall is now in a state of mid-emptiness. The soldier who held on to his fear was so nervous that he couldn't even hold his sword.
