Here in Westeros, there are currently only two of the most powerful strategic weapons that can be used in war, and that is: the wildfire and dragon controlled by Queen Cersei Lannister in King's Landing. The three dragons in the hands of Mother Daenerys Targaryen.
Nothing else!
Oh, I'm sorry, it seems that there are only the last two dragons left in the hands of the Mother of Dragons...
Speaking of 'wildfire', we have to talk about its origin:
The real owner of the wildfire should belong to the Mad King of the Targaryen Dynasty - Aerys Targaryen II! At the same time, he was the seventeenth and last Targaryen to sit on the Iron Throne and was 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 (r. Aegon 1-37) and his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys. The idiom is "blood and fire come from the same source". Their family's base is 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. Under normal circumstances, Dragonstone will remain. To the first heir of his family! Because it is said that Dragonstone Island is the habitat of dragons, and 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 Dance of the Blood Dragons, and the 'giant' dragon that survived by chance was treated as if it had died. After the Dragonbane 'Aegon III Targaryen's reign (Aegon 131-157), there were no more dragons in House Targaryen.
Therefore, when the Mad King Aerys II (Aegon 262-283) came, there were no dragons, and he was narrowly defeated by the rebels in the Battle of the Bell, and even let the rebels After the leader Robert Baratheon escaped calmly, King Aerys II began to fear that Robert's rebels would eventually win the war?
Therefore, in order to restore the decadent and unfavorable situation, he recruited magical alchemists, and finally developed the magical 'wildfire' in time, and made a plan to 'burn down King's Landing', so that the entire city and the rebels would be burned together, thus achieve the goal of winning the war.
And this is the origin of 'wildfire'.
At that time, Aerys II commissioned three alchemists, Count Rosat, Gorgoth, and Belis, to jointly create thousands of powerful jars of wildfire, and secretly buried them all over King's Landing... from under the Great Sept to The shanties in Flea Bottom, the knight's stables, the kingdom's warehouses, the seven large and small gates of King's Landing, hotels, sewers, squares, and even the cellars of the Red Castle, etc., all contain a large amount of weapons that can directly destroy the entire city. Wildfire Jar.
Aerys II's idea was actually a good one, because if his plan succeeded, even if Robert Baratheon's rebels succeeded in attacking King's Landing, as long as he withdrew in time and ignited the 'wildfire', Let the whole city be destroyed along 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 be able to quell the rebellion of the rebels in one fell swoop, continue to maintain the rule of the Targaryen family, and at the same time, it can also deter those nobles who are ready to move and make them obey from now on. , Don’t dare to be dissatisfied again!
Unfortunately……
The idea is good and feasible, but the reality is cruel.
For such a top-secret plan that planned to blow up the rebels and millions of people in the entire city, Aerys II did not do a very good job of keeping it secret...
Because, in addition to the personal arrangement of this top-secret plan by several alchemists, there was also a member of the Kingsguard who also knew about it, that is, the so-called 'Sword of Dawn', who was invincible in single combat before becoming disabled. •Lannister!
Therefore, in the end, Aerys II's plan of destruction 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 circulated name as the 'Kingslayer' , which is derived from this.
No matter what the reason was for Jaime Lannister to kill Aerys II, or how unconscionable the mad king was, the fact that he personally killed the monarch he was loyal to was beyond dispute. fact!
Therefore, after the death of the Mad King and the demise of the Targaryen dynasty, the 'wildfire' stored under King's Landing naturally fell into the hands of Jaime Lannister and a few people in the entire Lannister family! And this is why the little devil Tyrion Lannister was able to use 'wildfire' to burn Stannis's battleship during the Battle of the Blackwater!
"Now that we've found out..."
"Then go ahead and get rid of all those people. No one is left! I never want any jar of wildfire to fall into the hands of outsiders again!!"
In the huge cellar under the Red Keep of King's Landing, Cersei Lannister first said something to a figure in the darkness, then turned around and walked to the light. She held her chin in front of him and looked at a group of people in boredom. The slaves who were busy working under the supervision of the soldiers, little Annie, who looked a little depressed, asked:
"How about it, little Annie, aren't these wildfire reserves of mine impressive?"
"As long as we have them, whether it's the Dragon Mother from the east, the Crow's Eye from the west, the Tullys from the south, the Starks from the north, or even the White Walkers, I Don’t be afraid of anything... I’ll burn one of them if they come, and I’ll burn two of them if they come together!”
Yes, it is precisely because of these large amounts of 'wildfire' hidden under King's Landing, and precisely because of their existence, that she, Cersei Lannister, will not be afraid of the three dragons of the Mother of Dragons, or those White Walkers! And this is the real reason why she rejected her brother James's proposal and persuasion, and refused to send troops to fight against the White Walkers with the rebels!
Because Cersei knows that Dragon Mother's dragons are not invulnerable, nor can they be killed! In fact, one of the opponent's three big reptiles has now been killed by the White Walkers! There's nothing special about that huge monster except that it can fly and breathe fire!
As for the White Walkers, let alone them...
Before, when she, the Dragon Mother, Jon Snow, and others met in the bad city outside King's Landing, she had seen the hand of Jon Snow. Use ordinary flames to burn off the severed hands of the White Walkers. Then, there is no doubt that those White Walkers are afraid of fire!
And now, Cersei has a massive amount of 'wildfire' in her hands, a powerful flame weapon that can directly burn down the entire King's Landing. How could she be afraid of those White Walkers?
"But……"
(ಥ_ಥ)
"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 petroleum, a mixed liquid obtained by heating, cooling and refining a mixture of various alkanes, naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Compared with the pure aviation kerosene, gasoline and diesel on earth, It’s far worse than power fuels that are backward and expensive, and only increase in price but not decrease in price!
These people's use of this kind of 'wildfire' is just to ignite them, and then let this unstable fuel deflagrate and explode in a small space. This is just the most basic and simple use. Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be thrown far even with a trebuchet. If it is buried in advance, it can only be buried under the city in advance as usual.
but……
Anne also felt that these people were really big-hearted. They had hidden so many dangerous goods and explosive fuel under the entire city for so many years. Even if the shoes and barrels were dusty, they were not afraid. One day, he accidentally lit a fire and blew up the entire city? !
You know, even at the gas stations on Earth, even Uncle Colson's broken Laura car, when they go to refuel, they are all warned not to play with fire before they dare to go in and refuel. Are you afraid that she accidentally set the entire gas station on fire, blowing up some unlucky people and the people around them?
Speaking of Uncle Colson, I don’t know what’s going on with him now…
To be honest, Annie feels a little weird about missing them now!
"correct!"
"Annie, besides being able to control fire and conjure up that kind of snowman, what else can you do?"
After so many days of contact and understanding, Cersei now understands this little girl very well and is very relieved! Now, the other party can even freely enter and leave Queen Cersei's palace without any notification.
Because both she and the other party have regarded each other as friends. Although she has some utilitarian purposes, at least she is sincere and does not have many other purposes, at least not now. She has The other party treats her like her own daughter Myrcella, and even gave her the princess's bedroom where Myrcella used to live before she went to get married. This is enough to illustrate her force field.
"I can do magic!!"
(＾ω＾)
"..."
"Magic? What exactly is magic and what is it used for?"
Cersei has heard the word magic countless times in the past few days from little girls. However, she has never been able to understand what magic is. She prefers those objective things, such as the little girl's ability to control fire, such as Little girls conjure snowmen and more.
"Magic is magic. I am now a very powerful arcane mage. My magic is omnipotent!"
(*๓´╰╯`๓)❤
Yes, Annie is very, very strong now...
But to what extent she is stronger, it is not clear even when she or Little Bear play games... After all, she, Queen Anne, is a good girl, and she will not just pick up fights with others! There are so many interesting and fun things in these countless worlds and planes, but she is too busy to act like a fool looking for fights every day to show off!
"Magic is omnipotent?"
"Ha! Little Annie, I still can't believe it..."
There is no omnipotent ability or person in this world, not even the Seven Gods! Therefore, Cersei obviously doesn't believe this.
"But, my magic is now omnipotent!!"
(..•˘_˘•..)
Anne's own abilities are genuine. She learned and grew up step by step from a gifted little girl. Of course, not to mention the various opportunities involved, just now, such as this world, this West As long as she wants to, Luo Continent can be destroyed or reshaped with just one thought!
It's just that Anne would definitely not do that kind of thing. She was just here to have fun, not to cause destruction or dominate. Such things are really meaningless.
"..."
Cersei's mouth twitched and she ignored the little girl's words. She didn't know whether they were nonsense or innocence. She just turned her head and looked to the other side, dumbfounded, and looked at the maester who was obeying her orders.
"Bachelor, how did you complete the task I assigned you?"
Cersei's method of using wildfire is not simply to throw it into the water and set it on fire like Tyrion did in the Battle of the Blackwater, or to hide in the city like Mad King Aerys II. Underground, passively defending and preparing to come and perish together with the enemy?
Compared to those two idiots, she, Cersei, is more keen on attacking and transforming wildfire into a magical weapon that can be used to attack, just like the trebuchet used by the rebel group to assassinate her a few days ago. They directly used 'wildfire' as rocks and oil cans, sealed and ignited them and threw them out. The power was so terrifying that they 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 would have really succeeded!
Therefore, she was inspired and ordered the bachelor in King's Landing to develop a safe and effective method of using 'Wildfire' to attack from a distance in the shortest possible time! Something like a trebuchet was not enough. She at least needed something farther away and something that could be thrown higher! Otherwise, Cersei will definitely not be able to take advantage of the White Walkers or Daenerys Targaryen.
"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..."
Discovering the murderous Queen Cersei turned around to ask herself, the old bachelor did not dare to show any slightness, and quickly took out a large roll of parchment from his desk and carefully placed it on the table. After spreading it out, he motioned for the other party to come forward and watch.
"Huh? Is there anything interesting here?"
o((*^▽^*))o
Little Annie thought it was something fun. When she saw it, she jumped down from the barrels filled with 'wildfire' on the side, then jumped directly to the table and watched the white-bearded old man open his mouth. The drawings looked up.
She likes to join in the fun the most!
Of course, it would be even more perfect if joining in the fun is fun!
"..."
The old bachelor squinted his presbyopic eyes and glanced up and down again at the little girl who rushed up with noisy noises. He recalled the great achievements of the other party two days ago and those who chased a group of children in the city and beat them to pieces. After jumping, and even almost causing a commotion, the snowman shook his head.
Whether it was this little girl with special abilities that he couldn't understand, or Queen Cersei who was frowning at the drawings, waiting for his explanation, they were all untouchable, so he could only reach out. Point your fingers and explain the things on the drawing:
"Look..."
"This is our improved 'Wildfire' clay pot. In addition to the normal sealing, we also painted a layer of fire-resistant raw paint on the outside, and then applied flammable grease to ensure that it will not burn before it falls to the ground. Was it burned and exploded suddenly, or did it explode in one's own position?"
"There is another..."
"This is an improved counterweighted catapult. The more counterweights, the farther the throw, and the direction is adjustable... After calculations and tests, it can probably launch our wildfires on flat ground three times more than ordinary catapults. The distance is about eight hundred to one thousand feet..."
Since the time was really tight, and Queen Cersei ordered it to be completed as soon as possible, they could only use the methods of the assassins to improve on the ideas of catapults and clay pots... but the effect was unusual. good.
Anyway, this thing, from the perspective of a bachelor from Book City, is already very good. Used to defend King's Landing, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
As for the offense…..
Then you 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!!"
After looking at the drawings for a while, Cersei still looked a little unhappy, because she knew that in the future, whether her enemy was the Mother of Dragons or the White Walkers, she would face nothing but enemy ground troops. , and the giant dragon from the sky!
If the White Walkers win in the end and go south, then she will have to face one to three giant dragons...
And if Daenerys Targaryen and her group are victorious by then, she will have to face, in addition to the elite veterans who took advantage of the victory and went south, there will also be the enemy's two dragons! Therefore, she must have a weapon that can deal with enemies in the sky, not this catapult, or the meaningless bed crossbow that Qyburn recommended to you before.
"from the sky……"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there's really nothing we can do..."
Of course the bachelor understands what Queen Cersei means, but looking at all the books in the entire city, he can't find a way to attack the enemy in the sky, that is, to attack the giant dragon! Once those giant dragons grow up, whether it is bows, arrows or crossbows, their effectiveness against them is very limited.
Of course, unless they commit suicide by flying down to the ground and allowing the enemy to attack? But it's obvious that the dragons prefer spitting fire in the sky instead of flying down to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
"I don't want to hear your nonsense, I just need to see the results! You must come up with a way to target the enemy in the air before the battle in the north ends!"
Cersei delivers an ultimatum directly.
"this……"
The old bachelor was a little anxious. There was such a thing out there. How could he possibly find a way to deal with the giant dragon? Let alone him, even if he gathered all the bachelors in the entire city and looked through the books in the entire city, he was sure that they would never find any good solution!
Otherwise, the Targaryen dynasty would not have lasted for so many years and was overthrown without the dragons.
"that……"
|ू･ω･`)
"Actually, I have a good idea!"
(*^▽−*)☆
Blinking and smiling mischievously, Anne simply grabbed a blank piece of parchment, and then with a mage's hand, she used a quill to quickly copy the two things she had seen from the library when she was in New York. A drawing was quickly drawn.
Of course, in addition to the patterns, she used the common characters of this Westeros continent.
"Here! Here you go!"
(´▽｀)ノ♪
"No need to thank me, I'm going out to play first. Don't play with fire here!"
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ﾍᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
After saying that, Annie ran towards the stairwell of this huge underground facility like a bomb shelter. The air here was very dull, and there was also the pungent gasoline smell of wildfires. She didn't like it very much, so she wanted to go back. Get to the ground!
(Dear little master, do you need to go to that trouble? You might as well just give them a batch of electromagnetic rifles and cannon missiles! At that time, regardless of whether it is a white ghost or a flying dragon, one shot at a time, there is absolutely no need for a second shot. .
(๑¯㉨¯๑)
——In Tibbers' view, based on the productivity of this era, the production of weapons and armor was all done by hand, not to mention steam engines, even windmills and waterwheels were not yet used in the ignorant era, even if there were With detailed drawings, they couldn't even think of making a few qualified gun barrels in a month! On the contrary, it is easier to build something as silly and thick as a cannon, but there is no need to think too much about the quality. )
"Tibbers, I have already helped them a lot. It is impossible for me to do everything. I don't like that kind of fighting game!!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"..."
"What's this?"
Cersei obviously couldn't understand, so after she was shocked by the little girl's ability to control the writing with the quill, she looked at the old maester in confusion.
"this……"
"It's really amazing..."
The old bachelor's eyes were almost on the drawing, carefully looking at every pattern and every description down to the size.
"gunpowder……"
"Musket..."
"And this artillery..."
"Detonation, sealing and thrust...that's what it is..."
The old bachelor looked at it as fast as he could. After he seemed to understand something, he raised his head. He first looked at the direction where the little girl left in shock, and then nodded to Queen Cersei who was waiting. :
"Your Majesty, this thing is amazing!"
"I need manpower, and a blacksmith, and lots of copper, iron, lead, saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur!!"
"..."
"What exactly is this?"
"..."
"An amazing weapon!!"
"How powerful?"
"It may be more powerful than the giant dragon. There is only one weapon that can be mastered by us mortals!!"
"!!"
"I'll ask Cobain to prepare 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 carefully for a few days!"
"Quickly, Maester!"
"Of course, my lord..."
