Chapter 495: The Power of the Sun
A beam of light pierced the dark clouds, leaving a striking hole in the thick clouds. If you looked up, you could even see the blue sky behind the clouds through the holes.
But this beam of light shone towards the city wall and moved slowly along the city wall.
The light was so dazzling that no one could open their eyes. Even if they closed their eyes, they would still feel the strong light penetrating their eyelids and entering their pupils. Many soldiers had to turn their backs to the beam to feel better.
When the general guarding the city saw this situation, his heart skipped a beat on the spot.
If it's broken, something will happen, right?
The messenger from the palace once assured that this blocking magic circle was enough to protect the army. In fact, it did prevent direct intervention, but...
Why can't it block the light?
Besides, the light looks like sunlight no matter what, but it just makes the soldiers on the wall temporarily unable to open their eyes?
Something is wrong.
A strong sense of crisis enveloped the general's heart. At this moment, he saw that the area on the city wall that had been illuminated by the light seemed to be smoking.
Of course there is nothing combustible on the city wall. The smoke looks like moisture coming out of the bricks. Looking from a distance, the air is a little distorted.
Wait, is the temperature already this high?
A heat wave spread across the air, and even from a distance, the general could feel the hot wind blowing against his face.
Then he saw the soldiers on the city wall turning around and running down the city wall regardless of military orders. It was originally a crowded place, and many soldiers even fell off the city wall in panic.
Some soldiers who had no time to escape were engulfed by the slow-moving light in the blink of an eye. After a while, the light moved away, leaving only a human-shaped mass of charcoal.
It was only then that everyone discovered that the stones on the city wall had obvious signs of being burned red, and even some places had begun to melt, which showed the high temperature.
"Impossible! Does Princess Viola have the help of the power of the sun?"
Even though it is the Demon King who is helping Viola, the Demon King does not have the sun priesthood. Where does this high-temperature sunlight beam come from!
The light was still moving relatively slowly along the city wall, and the originally low morale was restored, and it roared and rushed towards the city gate.
Of course, Enwei Demon King's army wanted to go back to defend the city, but the temperature on the city wall was already so high that it was impossible to attack people. The ballistas, trebuchets and other defensive equipment placed on the city wall also turned into a ball of flames under the light. , and was eventually burned completely.
The defending general's only idea now is to call the mage who maintains the blocking formation, pull him by the collar and talk to him.
Is this the fucking guarantee you gave me?

On the other side, Li Chengqi was staring at the computer screen.
To be precise, Li Chengqi was standing by the window on the second floor, holding a laptop in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, looking at the computer screen.
Although June and July have not yet reached the hottest period, the sunshine is already quite strong. Generally speaking, this operation will destroy the laptop screen, but the computer running the AAI game is surprisingly strong.
Li Chengqi tried it at the beginning, and it was really indestructible with a hammer, and it didn't break even after being thrown into the microwave oven twice.
The light focused by the magnifying glass seemed to pass directly through the screen, shining on the pixelated city wall, burning the shit out of the soldiers.
When the armies of the Three Kingdoms attacked Kaimen City, they also used blocking formations, and even found some of the formations that had not been destroyed by the enemy.
Aldai studied it carefully and confirmed that this kind of magic circle can block the direct intervention of gods. Unless the intensity of the intervention exceeds the upper limit, no matter what kind of fire rain or Li Chengqi reaches out to hammer, it will be blocked.
But as long as the trump card is revealed, it is easy for someone to find a way to crack it. By coincidence, Aldai actually researched it.
The blocking circle can only block the direct interference of gods, but cannot block indirect interference. So, what counts as indirect?
For example, in the open sea outside the city, Li Chengqi used a remote-controlled speedboat to kill everyone. That was a typical indirect example.
Once you know how to crack it, there are too many ways.
It is easiest to just reach in and hammer open the city gates and walls. It is very troublesome to use a magnifying glass to burn ants. You have to adjust the angle and focus all the time. But I have to say that Li Chengqi found the pleasure of burning ants with a magnifying glass as a child. When he was a child, he could burn ants in the sun. Spend a day in the fields.
Adas, who was originally watching the drama, was a little confused when she saw Li Chengqi's operation. She raised her head and asked:
"What are you doing?"
"My followers are at war and are at a huge disadvantage. In order to prevent my followers from suffering too serious losses, I have no choice but to intervene."
"Just use a magnifying glass?"
"It's almost the same. Anyway, it's quite powerful after being blessed by divine power."
Li Chengqi also saw the burn marks left on the pixelated city wall. He moved the magnifying glass along the city wall, and soon no one dared to go up.
The city wall has two defensive functions. One is to allow soldiers to stand tall, and the other is to block the enemy's advance. Li Chengqi's operation directly caused the city wall to lose the former function.
"I am only interfering slightly. When the fight actually breaks out, it still depends on the performance of the believers."
slight?
Aida looked at Li Chengqi's feet. There were a bunch of remote control cars, toys and even a lawnmower...
Are you sure the intervention in these things is Weiwei?
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The sun fell down through the big hole in the dark clouds and moved along the city wall. The high temperature almost melted the bricks and stones that made up the city wall.
This operation not only confused the Enwei Demon Kingdom army, but Viola also looked at it with question marks on her face.
Demon King God, you have a priesthood without the sun, how did you get this high temperature sunlight?
This made Aldai who was watching the battle couldn't help but wonder if it was the Lord of the Dawn, Lathander, who was on Li Chengqi's side. They seemed to have a good relationship.
But most of the soldiers obviously didn't care about the principle. Anyway, as long as they knew that the light beam in the sky was on their side, they rushed up like a tide.
Since there were no soldiers guarding the city wall at all, Viola's army rushed to the siege distance with almost the ease of a walk. If it were normal, this distance would have at least been hit by several waves of arrows and crossbows, and maybe even more. You have to take a few hits from the boulders thrown by the trebuchet.
The beam of light falling from the sky was indeed on Viola's side. When her soldiers rushed to the city wall carrying the siege ladder, the beam of light immediately disappeared without a trace, as if they were afraid of accidentally injuring friendly troops.
--boom!
A muffled thunder exploded from the sky, and the hole that had just been opened was quickly filled with dark clouds. Rain almost fell from the sky with the thunder, pouring on the scorching city wall with a crackling sound, and large amounts of steam and thick fog rose up.
This directly cooled the city wall quickly, causing many red-hot bricks to crack.
The general who defended the city took a look and quickly ordered his people to return to the city wall, but at this time, some of Viola's army had already climbed up the ladder and broke into the large amounts of rising water vapor.
Because the mist was too thick, no one could see clearly who was who, but Viola's soldiers knew very well that the people who appeared from the other side of the mist were all enemy soldiers, and they directly transformed into evil spirits in the smoke. A blow to the head and face.
