Free Web NovelChapter 2758: Chapter 920: His Highness Prince Hu Fu Demonstrates Overkill
Due to the division of forces at Charldo Harbor, the manpower that the Sanghai Empire could invest in the ground assault was less than expected. To ensure the smooth progress of the God-slaying action, the Origin Pioneer did not hold back its firepower at the beginning of the operation.
The first solar bombardment was chosen to be in the middle of Moss Valley, a bit distant from the shrine of The Master of Hunting, to create a sufficiently complete assault environment for the God Slayers to eliminate the pursuers from behind.
Of course, it was also to intimidate the enemy.
A hundred years ago, the most outstanding leader among the Wolf People, the King of Bone Biting, who stirred up a frenzy of war on the continent, met his defeat in the flames of the solar bombardment, thus the Solar Fire had an immense deterrent effect on the Wolf People.
It was obviously a "special attack" type of thing.
However, it’s somewhat embarrassing to say that although this is one of the top weapons in the arsenal of the Sanghai Empire, and the Sanghai people have had the Sunship for over a thousand years, to this day, the most skilled creatorsmith technicians among the Sanghai people still have not fully mastered the principle of solar bombardment.
Uh, well, saying they have researched and mastered it would be an exaggeration. They are actually still in the stage of clumsy imitation.
Despite the "historical legacy reasons," the Sanghai people are not short of creator technology items, and can even learn primary creator knowledge through some explored means, yet the high-tech nature of things like the Sunship cannot be smoothly mastered after millennia of exploration and learning.
Just the energy issues and manufacturing precision alone are enough to require the Sanghai Empire to painfully maintain its current seemingly endless accumulation of technology. But according to the current educational system and talent reserves of the Sanghai people, conservatively estimated, it will probably take them a few hundred more years to crudely create an extremely downgraded version of a creator airship.
However, although the Sunship has immense destructive power, it indeed is not a standard war weapon of the Sanghai Empire.
The Sanghai people, who extremely revere the creator, are unwilling to use the treasures bestowed by the creator for vile slaughter; at least until before the desperate situation of the fourth Black Disaster, the Sunship has always played the role of a rather mysterious faith sanctuary in the Sanghai civilization.
It is said that in the 200th year of the new era, the Sunship was even used as the flagship for Sanghai travelers.
The official delegations dispatched by the Pharaoh King once toured the world aboard this vessel, and it was during that very first global journey that the Sanghai established diplomatic relations with the empire of the Eastern Dragonborn and forged an alliance of mutual support.
It is said that due to the persuasion from the Dragon Emperor, the Pharaoh King resolved in future civilization observations conducted every 200 years to cease using the relics of the creator, opting instead for transportation that could be produced by the Sanghai people for this highly commemorative ceremony.
The Sanghai consider this a way to express respect for the wisdom of the creator and a test and trial to advance their civilization level. Of course, in the global journey that they pride themselves on, as the "Eye of the Creator" and "Observer of Civilization," there is also no lack of the unique arrogance of the Sanghai people.
These blue-skinned people clearly do not consider themselves on the same level as other civilizations on the continent, and although they maintain diplomatic relations with various countries on the continent, up to now, the Kalem Ancient Country is the only nation with which the Sanghai have formed a mutual aid alliance.
This attitude is almost arrogantly high-strung, but considering the Sanghai Empire’s civilizational heft being indeed not on the same level as other countries, no one officially condemns this behavior, and after the shocking bombardment of the Sunship brought peace to the continent a hundred years ago, no one has expressed more opinions on it.
The Sanghai have had the capability to annihilate other civilizations since the dawn of the era, they just chose not to.
In this regard, other countries should all be grateful that the creator’s teachings to the Sanghai were sufficiently successful. However, it can also be inferred that the Ancient Eastern Country, which the Sanghai hold in such high regard, likely possesses similar means of destruction.
After all, the dignity of a nation, regardless of the world, is founded upon the edge of the sword. Lions can sit at the table with tigers, but if they also invite pigs, it surely must be for reasons beyond mere goodwill.
"Transylvania will soon rise; from the performance of these Undying Spirits, I have already been convinced of this.
Their bravery and resilience are by no means mere manifestations of violence; they clearly have lofty ideals and goals, which have been excellently taught, piquing my growing interest in the Lord Morphy whom Nifytelli lauds."
In the command bridge of the Sunship, His Highness Prince Hu Fu, seated in a special seat next to the captain’s position, softly spoke.
Before him, the observation platform with numerous illuminated optical screens tracked and displayed the battles of the Undying Spirits on the ground, and this mysterious Crown Prince from another realm had already removed his lion mask.
Uh, despite his blue skin and small tusks, which do not conform much to the aesthetic standards of gamers and humans on this side, judging solely from the features on His Highness Prince Hu Fu’s youthful face, his appearance exudes a sort of androgynous elegance and slight delicacy, perhaps lacking some deterrent force as a future sovereign.
It’s no wonder then that he takes to wearing a mask in this war zone to augment his aura.
