Chapter 123 -Moat Cailin (III)
"Fear not. The enemy is powerful, but your king is more powerful." - Aenar Targaryen to all the lords before him.
----------
Tyrion looked at all the lords and ladies of the North and realized that they were present. He noticed the look of confusion on their faces when they saw the weapon called Bombard. This, however, did not surprise him.
The metal weapon itself wasn't large and didn't look particularly threatening, just an ordinary bronze cylinder.
If Tyrion hadn't personally seen the power of these weapons, he would probably have had the same expression of disbelief. But after witnessing its destructive force, he realized that the world was much vaster than he had imagined. Who would have thought that an apparently simple and unimpressive weapon could contain such overwhelming destructive power?
Aenar watched the Sardaukar loading the cannonballs.
The three soldiers of his private army stared at him, awaiting his orders.
With a simple nod, Aenar gave permission for the attack.
BOOOOMMMMM!!! BOOOOMMMMM!!! BOOOOMMMMM!!!
In an instant, Tyrion heard a huge explosion. His ears were filled with a deafening ringing before three more detonations reverberated across the field.
The Northern lords opened their mouths in shock at the sight of the craters in the ground. Never in their lives had they witnessed a simple metal ball cause such destruction. But the proof was right in front of them, and they couldn't deny it, that power terrified them.
