Although the location of the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine made it difficult for Animusfia's army to attack the city, he was not helpless.
As you go down the Seine River, the first island you encounter is the island in the middle of the river, later known as the Ile Saint-Louis, and the second is the Ile de la Cité, once the home of the Greeks in Paris.
The Île Saint-Louis is very long and narrow. Along the river to the east, you can easily avoid the harassment of the archers on the city of Lutetia. The closest point of the Île Saint-Louis to the Île de la Cité is only fifty meters—————— They were supposed to be one, and the river wasn't that deep.
"We can't capture that city. Its walls are too high."
Boudica, who landed on Saint-Louis Island with the legion, shook his head and said.
Boudica, who had led the British-Celtic coalition to capture several Roman cities, was well aware of the difficulty of siege. He knew which cities could be captured and which ones could not.
In fact, it was the underestimation and laziness of the Romans in the early days that allowed her to conquer several previous fortresses that could easily resist the Picts and Scots moving south. In the end, it was the high walls of the Romans that shattered Boudica's final fortress. hope.
Even the Mongols, who once conquered half of the world, were helpless against the Chinese walls before they obtained the siege technology from the Persians and Arabs.
How could Animusfia not know this?
Now their situation is not as good as that of the Mongols, but the Mongolian army is more brave.
"Our legions cannot be taken, but not by me, nor by you, General Boudica."
Before Animusfia could finish her words, the sound of soldiers on the wall not far away tightening their bowstrings could be heard clearly in everyone's ears.
"Archers prepare————"
Animusfia could even hear the orders of the sergeants on the city wall, and the arrowheads made of pig iron shone coldly in the midday sun.
"They're waiting for us to cross the river."
"Who said we were going to cross the river?"
Animusfia moved her gaze away from the archers on the wall of Lutesia and turned back to Boudica.
"what are you up to?"
"Please show me my 'magic', General Boudica."
The ripples of magic power radiated around Animusfia, just like the distorted air in hot weather. The vision in front of Boudica and Nero became blurred.
The dark curtain gradually replaced the original space, and an image that Nero seemed familiar but completely unfamiliar with appeared.
It's not so much an image as it is the exact model that appears in front of her.
She had seen Animusfia do the same thing before, but that time Animusfia showed Nero the direction of time and history, and this time it seemed that something was running rules.
The pendant Animusfia had given her last time was still hanging under Nero's neck.
Nero couldn't help but touch the moving celestial spheres, but as if he had touched the water's surface, the images that appeared on the "water's surface" were blurred and trembled.
"Governor, what is this?"
"This is the universe... no, the solar system, Your Majesty."
"Solar system?"
Animusfia confirmed Nero's doubts and said:
"That's right, the solar system, the sun, moon, and the brightest zodiac planets that appear in our sky."
"Then, its name is——————"
Nero's finger happened to rest on a deep cobalt blue planet.
Animusfia raised her eyebrows and said:
"Neptune, Your Majesty."
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning that was as winding as a mountain range was dancing wantonly in the sky. The midday sun was nowhere to be seen, and from time to time a few cracks were torn open in the dark cloud curtain.
The flash of light makes it difficult to look straight at it.
Only the loud rumbling sound that followed made people realize that it was actually thunder and lightning.
Fierce winds swept across the plains around Lutecia, and the water in the Seine turned into water lines swirling in the air under the strong winds.
If viewed from the sky, a small hurricane is forming over this land in Gaul.
It is the power of Neptune Poseidon, the god of ocean earthquakes and storms.
It's funny to say that almost all of Animusfia's great magics so far have been performed on the troubled land of Gaul.
Last time, in order to block Krasin who had occupied Fafnir's body, Animusfia used Neptune magic to tear a large rift in the French land. Although this time it was not as powerful as the magic she performed last time, it was only For the land of Lutetia/Paris, and just for the Ile de la Cité, it is still a devastating blow.
"This is...the power of the gods..."
Boudica looked at the vision in the sky and murmured.
Even if she became a heroic spirit, she would never be able to achieve this level of power.
It was hard to believe that such a magnificent scene actually came from the man in front of her who had communicated with her before and seemed ordinary.
"Or maybe there is no God at all, it's all human power."
Animusfia smiled slightly and said pointedly.
Nero was completely attracted by such a spectacular scene, looking up at the lightning flashing in the sky from time to time.
Is this really something that "Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin" can do?
Boudica couldn't help but wonder, are all the heroic spirits in the far east such a group of monsters?
It's hard to imagine what kind of existence Zhuge Kongming is who wants to overpower Zhou Yu in the novel.
However, Animusfia's subsequent words answered Boudica's doubts and told her that Zhou Yu did not have this ability, and not every servant from the east could do this.
"Anima Animusphere (God is the void)."
Animusfia chanted softly.
This is a great deed that only he can accomplish at present, a great deed that spans time and space and is accomplished with complete "selfishness".
With the complete fall of Animusfia's spell, the ground began to tremble, and then Boudica felt that the entire island under her feet began to move.
Even the Ile de la Cité on the other side started to waver and moved closer.
--------earthquake.
Only these two words appeared in her mind.
"Your Majesty, please hold on to me and stand still."
Animusfia said softly to Nero beside her.
The soldiers on the distant walls of Lutetia could no longer hold their bows, and the arrows in their hands could no longer aim.
They fell off the city wall in large numbers, while a small number of people clung to the city wall and prayed to the gods.
The whole city seemed to be tilted and swaying up and down, but surprisingly, there was still not a single crack in the white jade marble city wall.
