That worked too?

Well, damn. That was really something.

Li Wei stared at the enormous crater in the distance, at a loss for words.

When did you make these guided missiles this powerful? Fuck, if you hadn't told me, I'd have thought that was a small tactical nuclear warhead!

Are you kidding me?

"Excellent. Truly excellent."

Unlike Li Wei, however, the Queen was studying the distant crater through her binoculars, growing more pleased the longer she looked. Then she turned toward General Haig.

"General Haig, do you think this weapon could break through the Kingdom of Kront's defensive lines?"

"Well... I think it should be able to."

General Haig was also staring at the crater, his face deathly pale and a chill running down his spine. This weapon was far more terrifying than a cannon. After all, mortars and the like made a noise when they fired, giving everyone a warning to take cover. But this thing had been launched from a hundred kilometers away. By the time you noticed it, it would clearly be too late.

He even imagined himself in the Cront Army's position. If he were standing guard or training here, minding his own business, and a shell suddenly fell from the sky without warning...

At that thought, General Haig couldn't help shuddering. There was a little more fear in his eyes as he looked at Li Wei.

As a general of the Empire, he genuinely loved this thing. As a soldier, though, he was genuinely afraid of it...

Being blown sky-high without even seeing the enemy was simply too terrifying.

"Sir Li Wei."

Her Majesty the Queen turned to look at Li Wei.

"How do you launch this... guided missile? I remember you saying it could fly on its own and didn't need a gun barrel?"

That was indeed
