Many disgruntled rchants ford a clandestine group in secret, plotting this vengeful act—such as sabotaging the railways, or even defecting to the empire!
But before their plan could begin, most of the grain rchants were already scared off. In their eyes, the empire was probably already struggling to preserve itself…
Who could stop this electromagnetic cannon that fires at thousands of kiloters per second? Who could withstand such a terrifying attack?
It wouldn't take long for the Wizards to take control of the entire continent, and then no matter where they fled, they would be captured and brought back…
Lynn's figure slowly descended from the skies above Fire Oil City, and Rafael and others imdiately surrounded him, endless complints filling the air.
Even Harrov couldn't help but speak with heartfelt admiration, "Such incredible Magic, I didn't expect your Big Nuclear Explosion Technique to increase in strength once again."
When Harrov first heard that Lynn had improved the nuclear explosion technique, increasing its power by eightfold, he was sowhat skeptical. Now, it seed like it was not just eightfold—the power had obviously increased by more than a dozen tis!
If they hadn't laid down an energy-binding Array in the Land of Death ahead of ti, slightly blocking the force, the entire Fire Oil City would probably have turned into ruins by now!
Lynn simply smiled and offered no further explanation. What he ant was that the mass loss ratio caused by the hydrogen bomb explosion was about eight tis higher than that of an atomic bomb, not just the maximum power.
After all, in theory, the power of a hydrogen bomb had no upper limit. If one wished, creating a hydrogen bomb with a yield of hundreds of millions of tons was not impossible, whereas the maximum yield of an atomic bomb was a re 500,000 tons.
"Co on, let's go take a look!" Lynn gazed towards the devastated area in the distance. Taking a few counciln and a host of senior Wizards with him, they flew towards the core of the explosion.
The Land of Death had been 'plowed' through by the nuclear energy wave twice in succession, and the destruction was thorough. The outskirts had previously shown scorched trees and half-lted armor and iron swords, but this ti everything was smashed into oblivion.
The terrain of the entire region also changed from high to low, the closer to the center, the deeper the depression beca, and what ultimately appeared before everyone was a bottomless abyss with a diater of three kiloters!
The river flowing from the west was continuously pouring into it, following the terrain. Due to the heat from the nuclear explosion not having fully dissipated, the alternation of heat caused billowing steam to surge up, gradually enveloping the area.
"In the future, this should form a new lake, right!" Alade, the senior Wizard, said with a click of his tongue. It was hard to imagine, one strike changed the terrain and landscape, this star of Magic was indeed one of their ranks of senior Wizards.
"Let's call it—Starfall Lake!" Lynn stroked his chin and nad this future Fire Oil City landmark.
In fact, using hydrogen bombs to create lakes was not particularly novel in his previous world—people had enjoyed doing this long ago!
But in this other world, it was still quite a trendy thing…
Besides, Lynn had already co up with a na for this hydrogen explosion Magic—Sky Vaulting!
Previously, using the principles of atomic bomb detonation, he had created the Big Nuclear Explosion Technique, and now he had developed a hydrogen bomb, so he couldn't just call it Big Hydrogen Explosion Technique, right?
This would be a bit too revealing—which although the fusion reaction used the hydrogen isotopes "deuterium" and "tritium", it was still better to be cautious.
"Check it out, let's see what the current radiation content in the air is," Lynn turned his head towards Rafael and reminded.
Only then did Rafael rember the serious matter at hand, hurriedly taking out a disk-shaped alchemical instrunt. Due to limited technical levels, they could only detect nuclear radiation by using the property of fluorescent substances glowing after absorbing high energy rays and could not obtain too accurate values, but it was sufficient for their needs.
About a minute later, Rafael solemnly stated that the radiation levels had returned to normal.
Lynn was very satisfied; it looked like the clean-up was thorough, and so the work of oil extraction could also be put on the schedule!
The hydrogen bomb test explosion experint was a complete success!
"Wait a mont... What is that over there…"
Just as Lynn and his company were preparing to return to Fire Oil City, Aurora, with her keen eyes, seed to have discovered sothing and suddenly stopped everyone before flying towards the other side of Starfall Lake.
About five minutes later, Aurora stopped on a glass wasteland, and in front of her was a silver condensed 'stream', which everyone only realized wasn't a river but a massive amount of lted and then solidified iron upon getting closer!
Harrov instantly grasped sothing, and said with a aningful tone, "It seems that your magic wasn't without its rewards!"
Lynn also couldn't help but frown, murmuring to himself with rising doubts.
Could soone really be that unlucky?
After all, the Land of Death's reputation had spread early on in both the kingdom and the empire, and the rumors were as horrific as can be; normally, no one would approach here.
Could they be a group of death-defying smugglers, attempting to transport their goods secretly?
In Lynn's mind, only rchants blinded by the lure of profit would do such a foolish thing.
Curious, the group followed the direction from which the stream of iron had flowed and soon found a multitude of weapons, not yet completely destroyed, and half-lted armor which evidently belonged to owners who had turned to ashes in the terrifying heat.
"So many people wanted to sneak through the Land of Death..." Lynn took a quick glance and judged from the debris that the victims under the Hydrogen Explosion numbered over ten thousand!
And such an abundance of weapons and armor could not possibly belong to a re rchant caravan.
"It looks like this was the Church's border legion..." Rafael picked up a scorching, half-lted badge from the ground, where one could faintly make out the Holy Light Emblem engraved on it!
"But why would they be here of all places?"
Harrov and the others could think of no explanation. Had these people gone mad, planning to invade from the Land of Death? Whose brave idea was this?
For a mont, Lynn found himself between tears and laughter; he seed to have unwittingly wiped out an imperial border legion without even understanding why.
...
As Lynn and the others were checking their 'battle results', the impact of the Hydrogen Explosion was sweeping across the empire at an astonishing speed.
The trendous destructive force was even slightly felt in the Holy City, over three hundred kiloters away!
Pope Alvis stood atop the Sky Do Tower, gazing at the sudden burst of aurora far in the distance, his unease accumulating to an extre. After hesitating for a mont, he took out the Communication Crystal Ball, preparing to contact Monroe in Fire Oil City once again.
Though it had been less than half a day since the last communication, and the device hadn't fully recharged, it was still capable of making urgent contacts!
However, Alvis stood in place, waiting for a full three minutes, yet no response ca from the other end!
The faint glow of the Crystal Ball plunged his thoughts into the abyss...
Just then, the door to the prayer room was suddenly flung open, and an Archbishop rushed to report urgently, "Your Holiness, it's a top-secret report from Fire Oil City!"
"Speak!" Alvis, struggling to suppress his restlessness, calmly said.
"The Wizards... the minions of demons have used Doomsday Magic again, just... just half an hour ago, many people saw another sun rise in the sky," the Archbishop said in terror.
Moreover, dozens of cities along the empire's western frontier felt the ground violently shake simultaneously.
Alvis's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat; he urgently inquired, "Answer , where did those Wizards cast this magic?"
The Archbishop carefully responded, "It appears... it appears to have been in the Land of Death..."
