Casting spells

But in fact, throughout the history of mankind, there are very few strong people who dare to face difficulties and dangers, and most people subconsciously choose to escape.

But Zhang Cheng is just the opposite. He hates fatalism and never thinks that the future is fixed. He is even unwilling to learn any prophecy magic, and firmly believes that his own power can change the future.

The differences in personalities and ways of thinking between the two have resulted in their completely different styles of acting.

Just when Volent hired a carriage and left King's Landing and went north along the King's Road, intending to visit the Great Wall and inquire about the White Walkers, Casterly Rock finally ushered in the prelude to destruction.

……

Early in the morning, hundreds of catapults parabolicly hurl jars of wildfire-filled containers into the city.

In the blink of an eye, a large green flame rose into the sky and spread rapidly among the wooden houses. In just ten minutes or so, half of the city was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and screams and desperate cries were heard endlessly.

You don't need to ask to know that these dangerous things were all found in King's Landing City.

They were originally terrible weapons that the Targaryen family entrusted alchemists to secretly research after losing their dragons, to deter those nobles with evil intentions, and they finally came in handy today.

"attack!"

"attack!"

"Archers! Projectiles!"

……

Accompanied by the hoarse shouts of the noble officers, about [-] infantrymen began to approach the east wall that had been melted by the dragon flames.

In front of them, there were only less than [-] soldiers holding shields and spears, stationed in place intending to make a final resistance with flesh and blood.

No surprises!

After the soldiers on both sides endured the short-term baptism of arrow rain, they immediately entered the tragic hand-to-hand link.

As we all know, hand-to-hand combat is an anaerobic exercise that consumes a lot of energy, and even after a long period of exercise, it can't last long.

Generally speaking, an army with a sound system usually adopts a rotation system, that is, let the veterans in the first row fight for a period of time, and then retreat and be replaced by the soldiers behind in order to obtain a short rest and recovery time.

Due to differences in race and training level, this time varies from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.

This also means that the upper limit for a person holding a weapon to fight fiercely with the enemy is 5 minutes, and after 5 minutes, he will immediately fall into a state of fatigue.

A one-on-one duel with a hundred and eighty rounds is a deceptive story.

Real masters can often decide life and death in an instant, without even seeing the slightest bit of gorgeous tricks, skills and movements.

Unfortunately, the army of Westeros is still in a backward state full of ignorance and confusion. Most of the soldiers are either private troops of nobles or mercenaries hired temporarily. Once they enter a state of melee, Tactical instructions are completely ineffective, and it depends entirely on personal performance.

With the advantage of numbers, Daenerys' army quickly destroyed the enemy's formation, cut and surrounded them, followed by annihilation bit by bit.

When the death toll on both sides reached about [-], the soldiers loyal to Lannister finally broke down, dropped their weapons and turned around and ran away, even though there were green wildfires everywhere behind them.

Seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, the rest of the soldiers rushed in like a swarm. While killing every enemy that fell behind fiercely, they kicked down the houses unscrupulously, some robbed property, some raped women.I

Gazing at the hellish scene ahead, Oberyn took a deep breath and sighed: "They are finished! After today, Casterly Rock City and Lannister will become history. But I have a question, how do you plan to deal with the West Territory? You must know that without a strong family sitting in town, this land will be full of chaos, killing and death."

"Don't worry, I plan to promote at least fifty knights, four barons, and two viscounts from among the soldiers who have made great contributions. These guys who have been promoted from the bottom of society are naturally loyal allies of the royal power. They will replace the Queen Your Majesty keeps an eye on the western region, and whoever dares to make trouble will be met with ruthless destruction and death." Zhang Cheng responded nonchalantly.

Although he understands that promoting civilians from the bottom to become nobles means greed and corruption.

However, the history of the earth has proved many times that the only way to overthrow the nobles who occupy a monopoly position is to promote civilians and suppress and tear this huge interest group from within.

"Wow! Great work! I have to admit that although many people have said that I am a madman before, compared to you, I am obviously not crazy enough. Promote fifty knights, four barons, two As a Viscount, I can guarantee that this will definitely attract countless protests and opposition." Oberyn raised his eyebrows, his tone full of gloating jokes.

What is nobility?

Have a noble lineage!

To put it bluntly, it is to fight for ancestors.

Your father, your grandfather, your grandfather's father, and your grandfather's grandfather must have a noble title for at least five generations, otherwise they will be rejected by all nobles.

The most typical example is "Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth.

Although he was trusted by Stannis, those old nobles never really recognized him, and even laughed at his poor and humble origin time and time again.

"Protest? Oppose?" Zhang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful sneer. "Do you think I care about these things? No! Dear Oberyn, I will use practical actions to prove that the resistance of the so-called nobles is as powerless as a teenage girl facing a strong hooligan."

After all, Zhang Cheng turned his gaze to Daenerys who was frowning not far away.

The queen was obviously not used to this kind of brutal scene of massacres. She opened her mouth several times to order to stop the massacre of civilians and looting of property. Unfortunately, the current chaotic situation made her lose control of the army, and even The noble officers in command were nowhere to be found.

Chapter 983 The Land of the Extreme North

"What, do you feel unwell?" Zhang Cheng came quietly behind Daenerys, and asked softly in a low voice.

Because anyone who is not blind can see that the young Her Majesty the Queen does not like war, especially this kind of war full of cruelty, violence, robbery, and killing.

"Do we have to do this? I mean the complete destruction of Casterly Rock. After all, the civilians are innocent, and they should not pay the price for the mistakes made by the Lannister family." Daenerys frowned subconsciously, her eyes filled with revealing unabashed disgust.

"Naive!" Zhang Cheng explained with a sneer: "Remember! My dear! No one in this world is innocent! Think about it carefully, if there is no support from the residents of Casterly Rock, the remnants of the Lannister family would have the guts to rely on this City, refuse to swear allegiance to King's Landing? Don't forget, they have ruled this land for too long, and even many commoners subconsciously believe that Lannister is their object of allegiance. So in order to announce to the world that the Lannister family has To be history, you have to destroy the foundation of their existence, which is Casterly Rock, and the people who live in it. This has nothing to do with good or evil, just political considerations. In short, you can't let those who hide in The guys in the dark are delusional and want to use blood, killing and death to declare who is the supreme ruler of this country."

"But don't you think it's too cruel?" Daenerys sighed slightly.

"Cruel?" Zhang Cheng shook his head without thinking: "No! I don't think it's cruel at all. On the contrary, it was your indecision that led to today's disaster. If you can make up your mind earlier , use force to destroy the Lannister family, then Casterly Rock City could have been preserved intact. So let go of your ridiculous compassion. As a monarch, you can only abandon hypocritical kindness and maintain absolute coldness and reason. to rule a country."

"You mean...all of this is my fault?" Daenerys clenched her fists subconsciously, with a slightly excited expression on her face.

"Isn't it? Please tell me, what is the duty of the king? Have you fulfilled your duty? No, you have not, you are just like an ignorant little girl, letting the nobles play with you On. If it weren't for me, you might have already become the object and reproductive tool of those male nobles. Don't always think how proud the Targaryen family is. You and your ancestors are nothing more than the ancient Valyrian civilization. survivors."

Zhang Cheng didn't show even the slightest bit of face to the other party, and directly tore through history, pointing directly at the most vulnerable, most fearful, and most helpless place in Daenerys' heart.

Lineage and Surname!

Never something to be proud of!

Especially in this world where blood cannot provide powerful power, always remember that you are just an insignificant mortal, so that you can live better.

"In your eyes, I'm just a stupid, pompous idiot, right?"

Daenerys was obviously irritated by what she said just now, and flames of anger burst out from her pupils, but she finally endured it for some reason, and turned back to her own tent, her face so gloomy that she could almost drip water.

Watching her receding back, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "What is the saying? Oh, yes, politics makes women go away. Too emotional thinking makes them never be able to Qualified careerists and schemers."

……

At the same time, in the wild land far away from the Great Wall, the death knight Huma is leading his ever-growing army of undead, constantly attacking the barbarian tribes encountered along the way.

Among them, those whose soul energy is strong enough are all transformed into banshees, death knights, and necromancers, while those whose bodies are strong enough are transformed into skeleton soldiers, zombies, and stitched abominations, and many of them are transformed into undead craftsmen , all kinds of tools and war weapons needed to build a large army day and night.
