Lynn walked slowly up the high wall of the Kerosene City. This was the best place to watch the explosion. Only wizards and some guards were qualified to come here.
"Are you all ready, Speaker Vittorio?" Lynn did not rush to meet everyone's expectations and show off his new magic, but asked cautiously.
"The formation you asked me to set up has been completed!" Vittorio's expression was just as solemn.
"That's good!" Lynn nodded.
Although hydrogen bombs are different from nuclear bombs and there is no so-called critical point, theoretically even one gram of heavy hydrogen can be detonated, but before breaking through the legend, he obviously cannot control it at will.
The hydrogen explosion technique used this time is also an 'ancient' and 'simple' method - using an atomic bomb as a fuse to detonate the hydrogen bomb! This means that the equivalent of the hydrogen explosion cannot be too low, which is roughly equivalent to the power of 300,000 tons of TNT explosion, which is 15 times that of the previous atomic bomb! Its killing radius, even the most optimistic estimate is more than 20 kilometers! In other words, if it is not restricted, the entire kerosene city will be engulfed by the powerful energy wave...
Because of this, he asked Vittorio to set up an alchemical array in the center of the expected detonation point to restrain the power of the nuclear explosion, or to artificially limit the spread of the energy wave so that most of the power of the hydrogen explosion would be released at the core.
This also concerns a new magic that Lin En envisioned using hydrogen explosion. If the experiment is successful, then maybe next time there will be no need to use this almost mutual destruction method to kill the enemy!
While thinking, Lin En slowly rose into the sky under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The citizens of the kingdom who were watching were talking about the matter. Some thought that the magic star was going to fly to the sky and knock down the sun, while others thought that Lin En was summoning a meteorite to fall. Only such power could form a terrible land of death.
Several speaker's chairmen and a dozen great wizards were concentrating their attention. They were responsible for stopping the horrific energy aftermath in the worst possible situation.
The most leisurely person present... oh, no, the energy beast was MUTO. It didn't care what these two-legged beasts were doing. After climbing up the city wall, it found the best and most spacious spot and lay down.
The scorching heat on his body made the surrounding wizards retreat spontaneously, and the already crowded space on the city wall became even narrower.
Yolande and the others dared to be angry but not to say anything. After all, the other party was Master Lin En's "pet". It was rumored that it could chew several extremely hard and extremely dangerous radioactive elements as if they were beans... Any wizard with a little bit of brains would understand that this strange monster was definitely not something they could deal with.
After a short delay, Lin En had already flown to a height of one hundred meters. This time, he did not choose to use the clone blasting method for the hydrogen explosion, but prepared to project it directly!
Lin En opened his hands, and his domain as a great wizard instantly expanded to a hundred meters around him. Then the uranium, deuterium, and tritium elements stored inside began to gather rapidly, followed by a large amount of magic power, which mimicked the various elements to form an oval shell...
In just a dozen seconds, a hydrogen warhead appeared in front of Lin En. The uranium 235, which was close to the critical mass, as well as the deuterium and tritium elements inside were placed at the two centers of the circle inside the elliptical warhead.
"Thunder!" Lin En opened his mouth slowly, and strong lightning appeared all around.
Yes, his long-range projection method refers to the electromagnetic cannon!
Although due to material limitations, the maximum attack range of this thing is only twenty-five kilometers!
But this 'only' compares to the missile's range of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers. In this alien world, an attack from twenty-five kilometers away is already extremely terrifying!
But there is a prerequisite, that is, you must hit the target...
Such a long distance and such a fast speed, if there is even the slightest deviation, the final landing point will definitely be very different!
Fortunately, for Lin En, who has the assistance of an intelligent brain, this level of computing power will never cause any problems!
After everything was ready, Lin En raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. The hydrogen warhead turned into a dazzling stream of light amid a sharp sonic boom and headed towards the core of the land of death, the crater caused by the last nuclear explosion.
The speed was Mach 25, 7,000 meters per second! Under the gaze of the people of the City of Oil, the light had just appeared and disappeared from their sight, and then they heard the deafening sonic boom! Only the great wizards could barely see it clearly, but this speed was beyond their reaction limit. Unless they could avoid it in advance or were a thousand meters away, the moment they were pointed at, it was equivalent to a declaration of death!
However, such a powerful electromagnetic cannon is only a tool for throwing! At 25 times the speed of sound, the hydrogen warhead, which originally had a silvery luster on the surface, has turned red. In just two seconds, the outer insulation layer has quickly dissolved, and the core of the Land of Death is already within reach!
The uranium 235 stored in the hydrogen warhead was detonated first, and thousands of neutrons began to hit the radioactive uranium element, breaking it into pieces. Then, under the action of a chain reaction, more neutrons were produced, and the process continued in a continuous cycle...
Within one ten-thousandth of a second when fission occurs, before the explosion even rises, light is already produced!
A large amount of high-energy rays generated by the collision rushed in all directions and then hit the solid reflective layer.
According to the ellipse law, any ray emitted from a focus will be focused on another focus after being reflected by the ellipsoidal surface.
And the fusion fuel is placed at the center of the circle on the other side!
An even more terrifying force emerged from within the nuclear explosion, swallowing up the flames produced by the fission, and then erupted with a force ten times more powerful!
…
Ten minutes ago, at the border of the empire, Thesis led 20,000 imperial soldiers and quietly set out. Under the cover of divine magic, they detoured through a valley, and then cautiously and fearfully stepped into this land of death.
"Hurry... keep up, the land of death is ahead, wear protective gear, everyone get through here as fast as possible!" Thesis' voice, blessed by divine power, rang in everyone's ears.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind them, as the imperial soldiers were all holding their hearts in their throats.
Under their feet was cracked wasteland, and the surroundings were devastated. Huge tree trunks that were burned and destroyed fell in the blood-stained soil. It was foreseeable that before it was destroyed, this place should have been a dense forest, but now it was flattened! The closer they got, the more frightened the imperial guards became. The interior of the Land of Death was empty, and even the wreckage could not be found. It was as if they had entered a desert, but what they stepped on was not sand, but pieces of broken glass that shone in the afterglow of the setting sun! After walking for a few minutes, the morale of the legion showed signs of collapse.
Over the past two months, various rumors about this land of death have spread throughout the empire.
There are rumors that wizards opened the gate to hell, right in the center of the land of death, and some people believe that wizards pulled down the stars from the sky...
Thesis' heart was beating fast, but he still spoke with forced calmness.
Thesis spoke in a high-pitched voice, not only to comfort the soldiers, but also to boost his own confidence and courage.
And just as Monroe said, after entering the Land of Death, he did not feel the slightest discomfort in his body, nor did he see any guards or cruising airships...
Everything was going so smoothly. As long as they passed through here, they could bypass the wizards' defenses, enter the kingdom, carry out harassment, and force those wizards to send troops to support, thus creating a favorable situation for the empire to launch a general offensive.
Just as Thesis was fantasizing, a Divine Punishment Knight beside him suddenly spoke.
"Lord Tethys, it seems to be a meteor..."
Thesis looked up in surprise, but saw nothing. The Divine Punishment Knight quickly said, "It's too fast. It was right in my sight just now..."
Thesis did not question the other party's words, but a trace of uneasiness arose in his heart. Then this uneasiness continued to intensify, and the warhorse under him began to neigh violently.
In the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly fell on the horizon, and then, another bigger sun rose in front of them! Everyone present was looking at the incredible scene in horror - this sun was so huge and so majestic that it could not be described in any words. The strong light occupied all their vision in an instant...
The divine spell that was originally cast upon everyone to protect their eyes was torn apart in an instant.
The eyes of an imperial guard were burned blind at this moment, but he could no longer feel the pain and shouted in fear, "The sun, the sun has fallen..."
Thesis felt a chill running straight up from the soles of his feet to his heart.
"No... No, no! This is not the sun, this is the wizards' destructive magic!"
"Retreat, run!"
Thesis shouted at the top of his lungs, then without hesitation urged his horse to flee madly in the direction he came from.
The 20,000 neatly-lined imperial legions instantly became a mess. At the moment the 'sun' rose, all those who looked up at the sky became blind and could only flee in all directions.
Countless soldiers were knocked to death or trampled to death by their companions. For a while, screams and cries were heard one after another, and the smell of blood filled the entire land of death.
But no one cared about the lives of these people anymore, everyone was running desperately.
However, no matter how fast they ran, it was no match for the shock wave of a nuclear explosion. The five-kilometer distance was reached in an instant, and the first to be swept into the flames were the imperial soldiers who were knocked down and trampled by their companions.
The whole process was painless. In less than one tenth of a second, their bodies were evaporated by the high temperature and then torn into pieces by the high-energy shock wave.
Thesis waved the whip in his hand frantically. The warhorse under his feet almost left an afterimage with its four hooves under the blessing of divine magic. But even so, he could still feel death approaching step by step. He had no feeling on his back, and it was probably roasted...
"Monroe... I *****" Tesis kept cursing a spy from the church with the most vicious words.
Is this the natural disaster you mentioned? Thesis was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. Compared with the wrong intelligence, he believed that this was a trap!
Monroe must have betrayed the church and the great Lord, and conspired with those evil wizards to plot this conspiracy in order to destroy himself and tens of thousands of the empire's elite troops.
The Divine Punishment Knights, who were galloping on their horses like Thesis, were also racing against the god of death, and then were swept into the horrific flames one by one.
Faster... faster... Thesis hammered the horse under him madly. In front of them was the valley they entered, which meant he had left this land of death.
Suddenly, the warhorse under his feet let out a painful neigh, as its body had reached its limit after running endlessly. The horse twisted its body and fell to the ground, and Thesis also rolled to the ground in fear...
"Monroe!"
Before being completely engulfed by the nuclear explosion shock wave, Thesis's angry roar was heard several kilometers away, but was then drowned out by the earth-shattering explosion.
Intense flames covered the area, annihilating everything. More than 20,000 imperial legions disappeared in the hydrogen explosion without causing the slightest ripple.
After everything was over, a warhorse with a scorched exterior was moved away with great difficulty from the outskirts of the hydrogen explosion zone. Miller, the adjutant of the Divine Punishment Army, was covered in blood, his hands were burned red by the scalding ground, and even his brain was shaking from the violent shock wave.
Dead, all dead... Miller collapsed on the ground, mouth wide open, looking at everything around him, feeling extremely devastated and desperate.
Tens of thousands of people disappeared before his eyes, and he survived only because he was the last military supervisor in the queue and started to escape the moment he discovered something was wrong.
No one could muster the desire to resist after seeing the sun rising in front of them... Miller was no exception. He relied on a safety distance far exceeding that of others, the protection of the divine shield and the warhorse as a meat shield, and he was able to barely stay alive.
But this was only temporary. Miller, who was frightened to death, felt that the wind in the air was thorny, rushing into his lungs and stirring like a blade.
It was too late to mourn his boss and colleagues. Miller fled towards the Holy City without any hesitation. He had to bring this news back!
The church's spy Monroe has been corrupted by the wizard!
He betrayed the faith of the Lord and led the Empire's army into the trap set by the wizards!
Resulting in the annihilation of tens of thousands of imperial troops!
