Inside the Strategist Pavilion.
The Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar had yet to plunge into the sea and explode. Long Live and the others were still trying to control it.
Soon.
They discovered something even more outrageous.
So far.
Every Sky-Piercing Pillar the Mortal Domain had used had bombarded targets within 20,000 kilometers, but its stated effective range was actually one million kilometers, the same as the Signal Tower's communication range.
But they discovered that reality was different.
When this Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar reached 100,000 kilometers, it ran out of power and plunged into the sea. Moreover, the flight had consumed so much energy that its explosive power was practically zero, barely louder than a fart.
"Looks like the Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar's effective range should be 100,000 kilometers."
Long Live spoke thoughtfully.
"Then what's the actual effective range of a level-20 Sky-Piercing Pillar carrying a Nuclear Warhead?"
"Let's submit another request to the Domain Lord."
They could make fine adjustments to a Sky-Piercing Pillar during its flight, but they couldn't make rapid corrections. For example, if it was only 1,000 meters from its target and they suddenly wanted to redirect it to bombard somewhere 10,000 meters west of the original target.
That was impossible.
They had to make adjustments in advance, gradually introducing changes.
Soon.
The Domain Lord replied, rejecting his request.
"No!"
Long Live stood and strode out of the Strategist Pavilion. "I'll ask the Domain Lord in person."
The Domain Lord was probably reluctant to spend the eerie stones.
After all, a level-20 Sky-Piercing Pillar carrying a Nuclear Warhead cost a total of 500 million eerie stones per shot. Using one for an experiment was certainly wasteful, but this experiment had to be done. Without precise data, what would they do if they needed to bombard a target at extreme
