With every report from the information officers, the Archon's face grew a shade paler.
Some of the personnel had even begun to panic.
No one could withstand this kind of targeted strike!
They were afraid.
Who wouldn't be?
But they had no way to strike back.
Few countries could launch strikes from Blue Star's poles.
Even against Great Xia's Underground Cities in Antarctica, they could only fire ordinary missiles as a token retaliation.

Even if any had been held back, they were only a few reserves kept within the Underground Cities, nowhere near enough.
Without the Dwarves' Sharpness Runes, striking an Underground City a thousand meters underground would take at least fifty bombs.
But Great Xia's air defenses worked far, far better than theirs.
That number might have to be multiplied tenfold to succeed!
That meant five hundred!
So not a single country could carry out a retaliatory, targeted saturation strike against Great Xia!

"Distance to the dome... only two hundred meters!"
The Archon slumped in his chair, bracing both hands against the desk.
His fingers dug into the edge, and sweat drenched his back!
Great Xia was going
