Chapter 643 This World Needs a Balance Ψ(? *`?′ * )???

On the continent of Westeros, there are currently only two of the most powerful strategic weapons that can be used in wars, and that is: the wildfire and the dragon controlled by Queen Cersei Lannister in the city of King’s Landing Mother Daenerys? The three dragons in the hands of Targaryen.

Other than that, nothing else!

Oh, sorry, it seems that there are only the last two dragons in the hands of the Mother of Dragons...

Speaking of "wildfire", we have to talk about its origin:

The real owner of Wildfire should belong to the mad king of the Targaryen dynasty—Aerys Targaryen II! At the same time, he was also the seventeenth Targaryen family member and the last family member to ascend the Iron Throne and be overthrown and killed.

The Targaryen family generally uses a red fire-breathing three-headed dragon on a black background as its family emblem, representing Aegon the Conqueror (reigning Aegon calendar 1-37) and his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys. The phrase is "blood and fire from the same source". Their house is based in King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea east of King's Landing and south of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

Under normal circumstances, the king of the Targaryen family usually sits on the Iron Throne in the Red Castle of King's Landing, ruling the extremely vast and fertile land of Westeros. To the first heir of his family! Because, it is said that Dragonstone Island is the habitat of giant dragons, and giant dragons are the guarantee of the rule of the Targaryen family, so this place is extremely important to the Targaryen royal family!

However……

Because the last weak dragon of the Targaryen family—Dawn, the dragon that belonged to Rhaena, was too young to participate in the Blood Dragon Dance, the "giant" dragon that survived by chance, when it died of " After the reign of Aegon III Targaryen (Aegon 131-157), there were no more dragons in House Targaryen.

Therefore, when it came to the mad king Aerys II (Aegon 262-283 years), there were no dragons, and he was almost defeated by the rebels in the battle of the "Battle of the Bell", and even let the rebels After the leader Robert Baratheon fled calmly, Aerys II, the king, began to fear that Robert's rebels would eventually win the war?

Therefore, in order to save the decadent unfavorable situation, he recruited a magical alchemist, and finally developed a magical "wildfire" in time, and formulated a plan to "burn King's Landing", so that the entire city and the rebels would burn together, thus to achieve the goal of winning the war.

And this is the origin of 'wildfire'.

At that time, Aerys II commissioned three alchemists, Earl Rosate, Gorgos, and Belis, to jointly manufacture thousands of bottles of powerful wild fire jars, and secretly buried them in various places in King's Landing...from the bottom of the Great Cathedral to the The shabby houses in the flea nest, the stables of the knights, the warehouses of the kingdom, the seven gates of King's Landing, the hotel, the sewer, the square, and even the cellar of the Red Castle, etc., all contain a large number of monsters that can directly destroy the entire city. Wildfire jars.

Aerys II's idea is actually very good, because if his plan is successful, even if the last Robert Baratheon's rebel army successfully invaded King's Landing, as long as he withdraws in time and ignites the 'wildfire', Let the whole city die with the enemy's army, and then he will still be the victor.

Although this plan is cruel and evil, once it succeeds, it will definitely quell the rebellion of the rebels in one fell swoop, continue to maintain the rule of the Targaryen family, and at the same time deter those nobles who are about to move, making them bow down from now on , dare not be different again!

Unfortunately……

The idea is very good and feasible, but the reality is cruel.

Aerys II didn't do a good job of keeping secrets like this top-secret plan to blow up the rebels and millions of people in the city...

Because, this top-secret plan was not only personally arranged by several alchemists, but at the same time, there was also a Kingsguard who knew about it.

That is, the one-on-one invincible James Lannister who was known as the "Dawn of Buddha Sword" before he became disabled!

So, in the end, Aerys II's destruction plan undoubtedly failed...

In the end, he died under the sword of the young Jaime Lannister, his most trusted Kingsguard, and thus... Jaime Lannister's widely-spread title of 'Kingslayer' , which is derived from this.

No matter what reason Jaime Lannister killed Aerys II, and no matter how insane the mad king was, the fact that he personally killed the monarch he was loyal to is indeed indisputable fact!

Therefore, the "wildfire" stored under King's Landing fell into the hands of Jaime Lannister and a few members of the entire Lannister family after the fall of the Mad King and the demise of the Targaryen dynasty! And this is why, in the battle of the Blackwater River, the little devil Tyrion Lannister could use the 'wildfire' to burn Stannis' battleship!

"Now that we have found out..."

"Then you go, go and get rid of all those people, no one is left! I never want any can of wildfire to fall into the hands of outsiders!!"

In the huge cellar under the Red Castle of King's Landing, Cersei Lannister first explained to a certain figure in the dark, and then turned around and walked to the light. The servant who was busy working under the supervision of the soldiers, little Anne who looked a bit sleepy asked:

"Well, little Anne, aren't these wildfire reserves of mine stunning?"

"As long as we have them, whether it's the Dragon Mother from the east, the Crow's Eye from the west, or the Tarly from the south, or the Starks from the north, or even the White Walkers, I I'm not afraid of anyone....If they come, I'll burn one, and if they come, I'll burn two groups!"

Yes, because of the large number of 'wildfires' hidden under King's Landing, and because of their existence, she, Cersei Lannister, would not be afraid of the three dragons of the Dragon Mother, or those White Walkers at all! And this is the real reason why she rejected the proposal and persuasion of her younger brother James, and refused to send troops to fight against the rebels with the rebels!

Because Cersei knows that Dragon Mother's dragon is not invulnerable, nor can it be killed! In fact, the other party's three big reptiles have now been killed by the ghosts! That huge monster, apart from being able to fly and breathe fire, is actually nothing special!

As for the ghosts, let alone...

Before, when she met with that woman, Jon Snow, and others in that rotten city outside King's Landing, she had seen that Jon Snow with his own hands. Use ordinary flames to burn the severed hands of the other ghosts, then, there is no doubt that those different ghosts are afraid of fire!

And now, Cersei has a huge amount of 'wildfire' in her hands, a powerful flame weapon that can directly burn the entire King's Landing, how could she be afraid of those strange ghosts?

"But……"

(?_?)

"If they only come in one group, how can you burn two groups?!"

∑('△')? !

This kind of "wildfire" is actually nothing special in Little Annie's opinion.

They are nothing more than that kind of oil, the mixed liquid obtained by heating, cooling and refining the mixture of various alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. Compared with the pure aviation kerosene, gasoline, and diesel oil on the earth Power fuels that are backward and expensive, and only increase prices without reducing prices are far behind!

These people use this kind of 'wildfire', but they just ignite them, and then let this unstable fuel detonate and explode in a small space. It's just the most basic and superficial use. Moreover, this kind of thing can't be thrown far even with a trebuchet. If it is buried in advance, it can only be buried under the city in advance as if it were imagined.

but……

At the same time, Annie also felt that these people really have a big heart. They have hidden so many dangerous goods and these deflagration fuels under the whole city for so many years. Seeing that the shoe barrels are covered with dust, they are not afraid. One day accidentally set fire to blow up the whole city? !

You know, even at those gas stations on Earth, even Uncle Coulson’s broken Laura car, when they go to refuel, they always remind themselves not to play with fire, and then dare to go in to refuel Yes, what I'm afraid of is that she accidentally set the entire gas station on fire, blowing up some unlucky people and people around them to the sky?

Speaking of Uncle Coulson, I don't know how the other party is doing now...

Seriously, Anne is a little weird missing them now!

"correct!"

"Annie, besides being able to control flames and conjuring that kind of snowman, what else can you do?"

After so many days of contact and understanding, Cersei has almost understood it now, and is very relieved of this little girl! Now, the other party can even freely enter and leave Queen Cersei's bedroom without any notification.

Because, both she and the other party have already regarded each other as friends. Although she has some utilitarian purposes, at least she is sincere and does not have too many other purposes, at least not now. The other party treated her as her own daughter, Myrcella, and even gave her the princess bedroom where Myrcella used to go to get married. This is enough to show her force field.

"I can do magic!!"

(＾ω＾)

"..."

"Magic? What is magic and what is it for?"

These days, Cersei has heard the word magic countless times from the little girl's mouth, but she has never been able to understand what magic is. She agrees with those objective things, such as the little girl's ability to control fire, such as Little girls make snowmen and more.

"Magic is magic. I am now a very powerful arcane wizard. My magic is omnipotent!"

(*?′╰╯`?)?

Yes, Anne is strong and strong now...

But to what extent she was strong, she didn't even know how strong she was or the cubs... After all, she, Queen Anne, was a good girl, so she wouldn't just pick someone up to fight! In these countless worlds and planes, there are so many interesting and fun things to do, but she is very busy, so she won't be like a fool looking for fights every day to show off!

"Magic is omnipotent?"

"Oh! Little Annie, I still can't believe it..."

There is no omnipotent ability or character in this world, not even the Seven Gods! Therefore, Cersei obviously doesn't believe in this matter.

"But, my magic is omnipotent now!!"

(..??_??..)

Anne's own abilities are genuine, and she has learned and grown up step by step from a gifted little girl. Of course, the various opportunities involved will not be mentioned, just now, such as this world, this West Luo Dalu, as long as she wants, just one thought, can make it die or reshape directly!

It's just that Annie definitely wouldn't do that kind of thing. She just came here to play and have fun, not to cause damage or dominate. Such things really have no meaning at all.

"..."

The corner of Cersei's mouth twitched, ignoring the little girl's nonsense or innocent words, she just turned her head dumbfounded and looked to the other side, at the bachelor who was under her command.

"Bachelor, how are you doing with the task I assigned you?"

Cersei's method of using wildfire is not simply like Tyrion in the Battle of the Blackwater River, throwing it into the water and then igniting it, or hiding in the city like the mad king Aerys II. Underground, passive defense ready to come and die with the enemy?

Compared to those two idiots, she, Cersei, is more keen on attacking. She is keen on transforming wildfire into a magic weapon that can be attacked, just like the trebuchet that the group of rebels used to assassinate themselves a few days ago. They directly used the 'wildfire' as stones and oil pots, and threw them out after the fire was sealed and ignited. The power was terrifying, and it almost burned her to death...

That's right, if Queen Cersei hadn't happened to meet that little girl at that time, and she happened to be in a good mood to receive her, I'm afraid those rebels really succeeded!

Therefore, being inspired, she ordered the bachelor in King's Landing to research a safe and effective method of using 'wildfire' to attack from a distance in the shortest possible time! Catapults are not enough, at least she needs ones with longer distances and higher throws! Otherwise, whether it is against the White Walker or the Dragon Mother Daenerys? Targaryen, Cersei will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

"Of course, my Majesty the Queen..."

"Look, according to your instructions, we spent three days and three nights, and finally came up with a plan that is more in line with your expectations..."

Noticing that the murderous Queen Cersei turned around and asked himself, the old bachelor didn't dare to be slighted, so he hurriedly took out a large roll of parchment from his desk tremblingly, carefully placed it on the table After spreading it out, he signaled the other party to come forward and watch.

"Huh? Is there anything interesting here?"

o((*^▽^*))o

Little Annie thought it was something fun, and when she saw it, she jumped off the wooden barrels filled with 'wildfire', and then jumped to the table, watching the old man with the white beard open his eyes. The drawings looked up.

Joining in the fun or something, she likes it best!

Of course, if it is fun to join in the fun, it will be even more perfect!

"..."

The old scholar squinted his presbyopic eyes, first up and down and then a lot of this little girl rushing forward, thinking of the other party's great achievements two days ago, thinking of those chasing a group of children in the city and beating them to death After jumping, and even nearly causing a commotion in the snowman, he shook his head.

Whether it's the little girl who has special abilities that he can't understand, or Queen Cersei who is frowning at the blueprint and waiting for his explanation, they are not to be provoked, so he can only stick out Finger, explaining to the things on the drawing:

"Look..."

"This is our modified 'Wildfire' clay pot. In addition to the normal sealing, we also painted a layer of fire-resistant raw paint on the outside of it, and then coated it with flammable grease to ensure that it will not be damaged before it hits the ground. Burned and exploded suddenly, or exploded in one's own position?"

"There's another..."

"This is an improved counterweight catapult. The more counterweight, the farther the projected distance, and the direction can be adjusted... After calculation and testing, it can probably launch our wildfire on flat ground more than three times the normal catapult The distance is about eight hundred to one thousand feet..."

Since the time is really tight, and Queen Cersei ordered it to be completed as soon as possible, so they can only use the methods of those assassins to improve on the idea of ​​catapults and clay pots... but the effect is abnormal good.

Anyway, this thing, in the eyes of him, a bachelor from the book city, is already very good, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if used to defend King's Landing!

As for the offense.....

Then really can't ask for too much, they have really tried their best.

"..."

"Not enough! What I need is something that can attack the enemies in the sky!!"

Looking at the blueprint for a while, Cersei's face was still a bit uneasy, because she knew that in the future, no matter whether her enemy was the Mother of Dragons or those White Walkers, what she would face would be nothing but the enemy's ground troops. , and a giant dragon from the sky!

If the White Walker wins and goes south in the end, then she will have to face one to three giant dragons...

And if Daenerys Targaryen and her group are the ones who win at that time, what she needs to face is not only the elite veterans who take advantage of the victory and go south, but also the two dragons of the enemy! Therefore, she must have a weapon that can deal with enemies in the sky, not this kind of catapult, or the meaningless bed crossbow that Cobain recommended to you before.

"from the sky……"

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, there is really nothing we can do..."

Of course the bachelor understood what Queen Cersei meant, but looking through all the books in the entire academy, he couldn't find a way to attack enemies in the sky, that is, to attack that kind of giant dragon! Once those giant dragons grow up, whether it is bows or bed crossbows, the effect against them is very limited.

Of course, unless they kill themselves and fly down to the ground to be attacked by the enemy? But obviously, the dragons prefer to breathe fire in the sky, rather than flying down to play hand-to-hand combat!

"I don't want to hear your nonsense, I just need to see the result! You must find a way to target the enemy in the air before the battle in the north is over!"

Cersei delivered an ultimatum straight away.

"this……"

The old bachelor was a little anxious, there was such a thing, how could he find a way to deal with the dragon? Not to mention him, even if he gathers all the bachelors in the entire academy and rummages through the books in the entire academy, he is sure that they will never find any good solution!

Otherwise, the Targaryen dynasty would not have lasted for so many years, and it was not overthrown until there was no dragon.

"that……"

|??ω?`)

"Actually, I have a good idea!"

(*^▽?*)☆

Blinking and smiling mischievously, Anne simply grabbed out a blank piece of parchment, and then with a mage's hand, let a quill quickly copy on the paper the two pages she saw from the library when she was in New York. A drawing was drawn quickly.

Of course, except for the pattern, she used the common characters of this Westeros continent.

"Here! Here you are!"

(′▽｀)ノ?

"You don't have to thank me, I'm going out to play first, you guys don't play with fire here!"

-=????=??????(?)?

After finishing speaking, Annie ran to the stairway of this huge underground facility like an air-raid shelter. The air here is very dull, and there is also the pungent gasoline smell of wildfires. She doesn't like it very much, so she wants to go back Get to the ground!

(Dear little master, do you need to be so troublesome? You might as well just give them a batch of electromagnetic rifles and cannon missiles! At that time, no matter what the ghosts or flying dragons are, one shot will definitely not need a second shot .

(?ˉ?ˉ?)

——In Tibbers’ view, based on the productivity of this era, the production of weapons and armor is all by hand in the era, not to mention steam engines, and even the ignorant era when windmills and waterwheels have not yet been used. With detailed drawings, they don't even think about making a few qualified gun barrels in a month! On the contrary, it is easier to make stupid and crude cannons, but you don't have to think too much about the quality. )

"Tibbers, they have already helped them a lot, it is impossible to let me do everything, I don't like that kind of war games!!"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

"..."

"What's this?"

Cersei obviously couldn't understand, so after she was shocked by the way the little girl controlled the quill to write, she looked at the old scholar suspiciously.

"this……"

"It's amazing..."

The old bachelor's eyes almost reached the blueprint, carefully looking at every pattern and every detailed description down to size.

"gunpowder……"

"Musket..."

"And this cannon..."

"Deflagration, sealing and thrust...so that's it..."

The old bachelor looked at it as fast as he could, and after half understanding, he raised his head, looked in shock at the direction the little girl was leaving, and then nodded to Queen Cersei who was waiting. :

"Your Majesty, this thing is amazing!"

"I need manpower, and blacksmiths, a lot of copper, iron, lead, saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur!!"

"..."

"What exactly is this?"

"..."

"An amazing weapon!!"

"How powerful is it?"

"It may be more powerful than a dragon, only a weapon that can be mastered by us mortals!!"

"!!"

"I'll let Cobain deploy everything you need tomorrow. When can you show me the finished product?"

"..."

"I don't know, this thing is very difficult, I need to study it for a few days!"

"You must hurry, maester!"

"Of course, my lord..."
