Chapter 0370: Alchemist: Exploding Fireball
The south bank of the Ruhe River.
Where the wildlings could cross the river - the Ranger brothers dug deep trenches along with about four hundred captured wildling warriors to ensure that horses and mammoths could not jump over.
To the left of the Ruhe River is the unattainable Frost and Snow Fang, which stretches for hundreds of miles and connects with the Thern Mountains, the birthplace of the Ruhe River.
Mance Red's large army could not cross the Milk River.
A section of the river near the Ancestors' Fist Peak is covered with solid ice, and the terrain on both sides is flat, which is the best place for the savage army to cross the river. Not only is it a long way downstream, but there must also be a boat.
In just three days, Will led the legion of fifteen hundred—three hundred for recruits, three hundred for veterans, three hundred for the Ash Tribe, three hundred for the logistics advance force, three hundred for the Shadow Tower—and nearly four hundred captured savage warriors—to dig trenches, lay down antlers, and dense stakes formation.
Seven large trebuchets were thrust into the river with a bang.
Early in the morning, the four rangers and the advance army of the nobles of the four countries had 300 horsemen, and the recruit service team composed of about 400 savage warriors lined up in an array in the riverside position, and Will, together with the commanders, leaders, and chief rangers of the various legions, rode on horseback, watching the alchemists Adonis and Yalvis busy in front of the trebuchet with dozens of alchemists.
A large stone ball with a hollowed-out center rolled out, and Adonis and Jarvis pulled out a wicker-shaped green round bottle from a black bag filled with yellow sand, and the sealed bottle was filled with a pale cyan liquid, wildfire.
The dozen or so alchemists and more than twenty alchemists here are the most powerful and experienced people in the Alchemists' Guild in King's Landing. This time with the army, it's time for Will to need them to show up.
When Will was in King's Landing, he used the beautiful girl in Littlefinger's nest to first invite the leader of the Alchemists' Guild, Adonis, and the vice president, Yanovis, to the ship in King's Landing, and then put them in a large wooden box when they were drunk and full of dreams in the girl's gentle nest.
Then, in the name of Adonis and Yanovis, holding the tokens of the two, he invited all the people in the Alchemist's Guild to the flower ship in King's Landing, and wiped out all of them, bringing them all to the Great Wall of Despair.
In King's Landing's Big Wooden Box Project, Will not only packed Eddard Stark, but also the Alchemists' Guild of the whole group, and brought a lot of raw materials and finished products such as wildfire. Simply burying the finished wildfire in tons of yellow sand minimizes the risk of explosion.
The raw materials used to make wildfires, as long as they are not combined, do not pose any risks.
King's Landing and kidnapping Eddard Stark are just one of Will's many plans.
Taking away the raw materials of the wildfire and capturing the best alchemists in the kingdom was the top priority of his King's Landing plan.
Fire is also the nemesis of strangers and ghouls.
*
Adonis and Yanovis themselves stuffed a small vial into a hollowed-out stone ball, and each time they put a layer of vial, they coiled a black thread on the surface of the vial, which could be a twist of fire or velvet, but maybe not at all.
Gilly the Great, Clankler, Ygritte, Hound Dog, Sauron, Robert Royce, Daisy Mormont, Jon Amber Jr., and others at Will's side were all staring at each other, completely unaware of what these mysterious alchemists were doing.
In the end, dozens of finger-long vials were all put into the hollowed-out stone balls, several black threads were put into several vials with open caps, and then the mouth of the bottle was tightly plugged with cotton velvet and other substances, and several black wires made as leads were twisted together and dragged out of the stone balls.
Then, an apprentice poured water into it cup by cup, and soon, the water overflowed through the hole in the stone ball, and in the blink of an eye, the water froze.
The gap in the middle of the pale cyan vial that had been placed in the stone ball was all filled with frozen water, and there was no longer a single gap.
A very young alchemist sealed all the holes in the ball, which were larger than a fist, with a paste of perhaps glutinous rice and a small bag of yellow sand. Water is then poured on the surface, and in the blink of an eye, the water freezes into transparent ice.
Only the thick black lead remained outside the strange and mysterious stone ball. Several alchemy apprentices brought longer thick black wires and made this black thread longer.
Not a single person in the 2,000-strong contingent made a sound.
In the cold wind, everyone didn't understand what this group of alchemists was doing.
However, this has aroused everyone's curiosity and sense of sacredness. With such a large group of alchemists, what kind of thing they will give everyone to come out, everyone is looking forward to it.
Will is looking forward to it too!
Adonis and Yanovis were cautious, and after they had carefully examined the ball, Adonis ran up to Will's horse, "Lord Will, the fireball is done. ”
"How many times have you tried it before? Will jumped off his horse, his tone full of respect.
Since the disappearance of the dragons, the status of alchemists has ceased to exist, because their fire secret methods have gradually become ineffective, and the income of alchemists has become more and more unbearable, and after losing the support of the royal family, their survival has been difficult.
But the pride of alchemists remains, and they prefer and want to be revered as wise men rather than alchemists or fire magicians. Fire magicians, in particular, are tantamount to humiliation in the eyes of alchemists.
Will was the first person in the entire kingdom of Westeros to kidnap the entire Alchemists' Guild, and the first to order the officers and soldiers of the Great Wall of Desperation to call the Alchemists the leaders of the Wise.
He himself has always honored Adonis and Yanovis as great sages.
This is unique in the entire kingdom.
This made Adonis and Yanovis feel respected like never before.
Prior to this expedition, the Welts had been in King's Landing, but the ravens were in constant contact with Adonis and others in their letters, discussing the use of wildfire to make explosive weapons. In his letters, he called Adunis the Great Wise Man.
Despite this, the legions and soldiers of the Great Wall of Desperation still did not respect Adonis and the others, but they did not dare to embarrass them because of Lord Will's military orders.
The status of an alchemist, like the night watchman of the Great Wall of Desperation, is a very embarrassing existence in people's minds. The night watchman became rich under the leadership of Lord Will, purchased a thousand war horses and thousands of sets of armor, a large number of living materials, and increased the number of troops several times, so naturally the waist was straightened. There is no respect for alchemists at all, which is a common problem among the leaders and soldiers of the Great Wall.
Adonis and Yanovis knew this.
The alchemists and apprentices who had been kidnapped here also knew it.
However, in front of the most arrogant rangers of the legion, Will now dismounted and honored Adonis as the Great Wise Man, a courtesy that moved Adonis and the others.
Unique!
Adonis came to ask Will, Will dismounted and replied, not daring to sit on his horse, and all the leaders and generals around him, who thought highly of themselves, had to dismount one after another and stand honestly behind Will.
The leaders dismounted, and the Rangers on their horses looked at each other, not quite understanding whether they needed to dismount or not.
This has never been the case before.
The atmosphere is subtle and awkward.
Will inadvertently glanced at his eight ash guards, and the black girl's heart jumped, and she immediately dismounted.
The other seven guards immediately dismounted.
Taryn Ash glanced at the neat Ash cavalry behind him, and the cavalry dismounted with a bang, and the footsteps on the ground sounded exactly the same.
Tyron Ash was so tall that standing on the ground, all the Ash Cavalry could see his movements.
These cavalrymen are veterans who have been fighting with Tyron Ash since childhood, and they have a heart!
Chief Ranger Taryn suddenly had a fever on his face, and the actions of the ash cavalry he despised dismounted were neat and consistent, which was not false. How strict the discipline is, how strong the combat effectiveness is.
Sauron drew his sword and shouted, "All of them, dismount!"
Rumble!
The veterans dismounted together, and the neat movements were not at all inferior to the ash cavalry.
However, Tyron Ash only needs one look, while Sauron still needs a sword to order, which is a loss of momentum.
So, the recruit team, the cavalry of the advance army, all dismounted.
On the banks of the Ruhe River, 1,500 cavalry dismounted and lined up in arrays, not moving at all, occasionally horses stepped on the snow, and some horses sneezed, but they saw the excellent quality of the army.
Will slowly swept through his cavalry ranks, and all the cavalry straightened their chests in this silent military might.
Will then looked back at Adonis, smiled, and said respectfully, "Great Wise Man, how many times have I tried the fireball I want?"
"One hundred and two, Lord Will. ”
"Success?"
"It basically meets the requirements of the adults in the letter. ”
"Okay, light the fire, project it on the ice of the Ruhe River, I want to see the effect. ”
"Yes, Lord Will!"
