Moreover,theinaccuratedatawasmeasuredonlyaftertheexperimentwentoutofcontrol,andthetemperatureatthecenteroftheexplosionmayhavebeenmuchhigherthanthisnumber.

Accordingtolaterdataanalysis,thepowerofthatnuclearexplosionreachedanunimaginablelevel,surpassinganyforbiddenspellinhistoricalrecords.

Eventhoughthe"nuclearexplosion"itselfisnotaforbiddenspell,itisadisasterthatoccurswhenacertainforcelosescontrol.

However,ifthereisanyforceinthisworldthatcaneasilywipeouttheEmpire’sstrongestFirstMagicArmyLegionfromthefaceoftheearth,perhapsitisonlythis.

"Hastheresearchthatfailedeveninthedivineerasucceededhere?"GeneralRyderlookedatthescrollcontainingaseriesofshockingdataandrealizedthatonlysuchapowercouldexplainthedemiseoftheEmpire’sFirstMagicArmyLegion.

Assomeonewhovaluesreason,hewasreluctanttobelievethattheseseeminglyfantasticaldatashouldexistandthatcallingthe"nuclearexplosion"afantasy-basedforbiddenspellwasnotanexaggerationatall.

Eventhestrongestwararmorcreatedbytheempire,withspecialmagicalpowersandtitles,isjustaslightlyhardertoyinthefaceofanuclearexplosion,andcanonlylastforthreeseconds.

"Tap!Tap!Tap!"GeneralRydertappedthetablewithhispipe,notconsideringthoseimaginarymagicspells,butlookingatthepracticalobservationsandconclusions.

Theforbiddenspellthatcompletelydestroyedtheempire’sproudfirstmagicarmylegionisundoubtedly"nuclearexplosion".

"Someone,gatherthecommandersofthesecondandthirdarmycorpsasquicklyaspossible."

"SuspendthesiegetacticsonthecapitalofthekingdomandreportwhathappenedheretoHisMajestytheEmperor."

"Theentirearmy,stayinpositionanddon’tallowanyonetoapproachwithina150-kilometerradiusofthecapitalofthekingdom!"

Withcertaintythatthisphenomenonwasa"nuclearexplosion"andnotsomeimaginary"grounddissolution"orromantic"fallingstars,"GeneralRyderpromptlygavetheordertosuspendtheinvasion.

Justbylookingathistremblinganddemoralizedsubordinates,anyonecouldunderstandhowterrifyingthedeterrentpowerofthenuclearexplosionwas.

Ifthisproblemcouldn’tbesolved,thewarcouldn’tcontinueatall.

Attheveryleast,theyneededmilitaryforcethatcouldcounterthenuclearexplosioninordertocontinuetheconquestofthekingdom.AndbasedonGeneralRyder’sunderstandingoftheempire,thatkindofforcemightnotbenonexistent.

Thekingdombroughtouttheirstrongestweapon,andtheempirehadtoshowsomeresultstoo,otherwisenotonlywouldtheynotbeabletoinvadethekingdom,buttheempireitselfwouldfaceahugecrisis.

Aslongasthekingdomstillhasthispowerfulweapon,itwillbedifficultforotherforcestoconquerthem.

Anyonewhohaswitnessedtheterrifyingaftermathofanuclearexplosionwouldbeoverwhelmedbyitspower,includingGeneralRyderhimself.

"Ineverexpectedthatthelastprincessstillheldthiscard."Afterissuingtheordertopausetheattack,GeneralRydergazedintothedistanceatthehorizon.

Intermsofgenerations,hewasactuallyconsideredtheelderoftheprincess;onthefamilytree,heisaboutthreegenerationsolderthanher.

"Iunderestimatedyou."GeneralRyderknockedalltheashoutofhispipe.

"Now,youmustbesmiling,theprincesswhoinheritedthedivineerabloodline."

"Now...whatshouldIdo?"Ain,astheprincesswhoinheritedthepuredivineerabloodline,maysoonbecomeaqueen,butshehadneverfeltsohelplessbefore.
