Chapter 294: Chapter 281: The Miracle-like Artificial Rainfall

“Dean, are you sure this will really work? By scattering these things into the sky, we can make it rain heavily?”

Outside the capital of Hadrata, within a hidden encampment, Lydia glanced at the boxes on the ground and then looked towards Lynn, her words a mix of doubt and belief.

Because just moments ago, Lynn had arranged a special mission for them, which was to transport a unique type of powder thousands of meters up into the sky and then scatter it below.

According to the Dean, this was called artificial rain…

But to Lydia, Darren, Ryder, and the others, it seemed like a scene straight out of a myth.

For example, the Bible recorded that in the year 182 of the Holy Calendar, the empire was hit by a severe drought, and God sprinkled nectar from above, causing heavy rain to pour down and save those poor people trapped by the drought…

...

Even Philip and the others found it a bit far-fetched. To cast a spell that covered the entire city or even the whole capital’s territory, not even a grand wizard could achieve it.

They might be able to extract a large volume of water vapor for irrigating fields, or to create a vast fog, but to use it for rain seemed too extravagant. How much magic power would that require?

Perhaps only the Legendary Councilmen could give it a try?

After all, it had been more than half a month since the capital had last seen rain, which could be a sign of an impending drought, essentially a forced manipulation of the world’s natural order through magic.

At the same time, they were all wondering what exactly was inside these boxes, possessing such miraculous power. Could it be some sort of material to assist in casting spells?

“Don’t worry, it will definitely work!” Lynn said with confidence. He could sense the concentration of water molecules in the air through his magic power and, with the calculation of the smart brain, he was certain that the conditions for artificial rain had been met.

Even if they did nothing, in no more than three days, a heavy rain would come. He was merely advancing the timeframe a bit!

The reason they needed this rain was that Lynn had learned from Anthony that the Cardinal in the capital was a sixth-ring divine practitioner, incredibly powerful.

In a one-on-one situation, not even Anthony was completely confident of defeating him.

The safest course of action, naturally, was to apply to the council for reinforcements.

However, Lynn had previously stated that the plan of the Magic Kingdom was devised by the Secret Magic Society, and now asking the council for help might undermine the towering image that the Secret Magic Society had finally managed to build in these people’s minds.

Moreover, he had ample preparation time this time and could definitely try something new!

“Anyway, when you see the signal I give, immediately pilot the flying vessel and scatter this catalyst in the sky!” Lynn instructed Lydia, then turned his gaze toward Ryder. “When it starts to rain, that will also be your cue to prepare for the attack!”

The people present exchanged glances; though they all agreed verbally, doubts inevitably bubbled within their minds. Could this really work?

What if there was no rain?

Wouldn’t they just be foolishly standing around all night?

…

At night, within the capital of Hadrata, thousands of royal guards, under the cover of darkness and secretly mobilized by the King’s command, quickly gathered in front of Hattar’s residence, sealing it off from all sides. Nearby spies were cleaned out one by one, leaving no stone unturned…

“Are you sure all the Wizards are here?” Anluoke spoke in a somber tone.

“According to Lord William’s investigation, they will all gather in the mansion tonight to finalize their last plan,” Kodi, kneeling on one knee, replied softly. “In addition, we have received news that the miners who started the rebellion in the southern part of the kingdom are also rushing here, and it won’t be long before they reach the outskirts of the royal city…”

Then it would be time to seize the throne through an inside-and-outside coordinated attack!

Anluoke nodded. This matched the information he had received, and by his estimations, the miners would reach the city in about a day.

However, they would be met with a military siege. Without the assistance of Wizards, these slaves armed with hoes and pickaxes would be easily crushed!

“What do you intend to do? This is Prince Hattar’s residence…”

The Imperial Guards surrounding the entire estate soon attracted the attention of the guards inside, and a muscular Knight stepped out of the main gate, glaring angrily at the guards outside. Upon recognizing that the leader was Cardinal Anluoke, his face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly sent others to inform the Prince.

However, it was already too late. Dozens of crossbow arrows flew through the air, accompanied by a chilling wind, killing several people on the spot.

“Act now!”

Anluoke commanded coldly. Behind him, more than seventy bishops stood up, along with over a hundred priests, each holding a Bible. As the pages turned, elusive hymns suddenly echoed throughout the silent capital.

At the same time, a faint white light emerged on the bodies of the thousands of Imperial Guards, who, faces alight with zeal, charged into Hattar’s mansion.

The attack was so sudden that many guards inside the mansion did not even have time to react before being pierced by crossbow arrows…

But this chaotic scene did not last long. After dealing with the outer guards, they quickly encountered resistance.

Dozens of fireballs the size of human heads arrived in a flash, blasting hundreds of the front-row guards away. However, thanks to the protection of Divine Arts, only about ten unlucky guards who were hit directly by the fireballs died on the spot, while the rest suffered only minor injuries and quickly got up from the ground to return fire with their crossbows…

“Those Believers of the Evil God are indeed all hiding here!”

North, the bishop, said furiously, raising his hand, ready to use Divine Arts to eliminate the Wizards who had suddenly emerged.

However, these Wizards were very cunning. They didn’t dare to confront them head-on and retreated to the interior of the mansion without delay after casting their spells from the shadows.

North immediately thought that there might be other passages leading out of the city in the mansion, and these people were probably trying to buy time to help Hattar and others escape.

With this in mind, North became anxious. After reporting his thoughts to Anluoke and receiving his direction, he led three hundred Imperial Guards and a dozen bishops deeper into the mansion…

The rest scattered, locking down the entire mansion to search for the Wizards in hiding…

Anluoke walked through the manor, now filled with blood and severed limbs. The shrill cries of agony—from the enemies and the royal guards—rose continuously from all over; however, he was deaf to them.

He was waiting for the moment when the two great Wizards could no longer contain themselves and would jump out!
