War is a catalyst for human civilization.
" The Northern Continent has its own War Knights, so the Southern Continent should also have its own Super Bomb!"
That Pale God believed himself to possess boundless power, but as it turns out, true strength doesn't come from so-called personal force or divine status, but from the wisdom and dignity unique to humankind!
As night deepened, the passionate speeches continued to echo within the Holy Empire Imperial Academy of Sciences.
The senators, led by Senator Anlan and Senator Rothschild, the true rulers of the empire, gathered here for Senator Anlan to deliver an inspiring speech.
As for former Senate President Beinuo, he was selectively kicked out of the political arena after the last parliamentary session ended, and his family and even his business were subjected to an extermination campaign.
There are also differences in strength among senators.
The Rothschild Senate President represented the purse strings of the Holy Empire; his family practically controlled all of the empire's industries, from battlefield medicine and military logistics to the sale of corpses on the battlefield.
Councilor Anlan represents the military power of the Holy Empire; the arms companies, and even the current Imperial Legion, are all under their control.
Only Senate President Beinuo comes from a political family, using his political influence to maneuver in various ways and seek personal gain.
But just as easily, it was also vulnerable.
When the ambiguous attitude of a fence-sitter is perceived by those on either side of the wall, what awaits him is a simultaneous reckoning by both sides.
The reason the Beinuo family was purged was not because of his previous remarks, but because they had begun a premeditated migration to the Northern Continent.
This is an unforgivable mistake.
While it's true that Pale God is their common enemy, that doesn't mean they can be close friends.
This meeting today also carries this meaning.
They were wary of the Pale God, but equally, they were also terrified of the Northern Continent, which possessed magical powers and was capable of developing these so-called War Machine!
With such powerful mechanical creations and such a developed industrial environment, if it weren't for the existence of this Pale God, the Northern Continent would be the greatest enemy of the Southern Continent!
And now, all this fear is about to be ended by this research institute!
At the Holy Empire Royal Scientific Research Institute, a physicist named ' Qienuo ' discovered the phenomenon of uranium nuclear fission using what were then considered advanced instruments. In the following three months, he collaborated with mathematical experts to calculate, using the mass-energy equivalence equation E=mc², the theory that each fission nucleus releases 200 million electron Volt of energy, thus officially opening the door to nuclear physics.
After this theory emerged, almost all participants realized just how terrifying its power was.
Consequently, after they reported it, the current Holy Empire Supreme Parliament immediately decided to begin research on nuclear weapons.
If such a terrifying weapon could truly be developed, it would not only be an effective deterrent against the threats posed by the Northern Continent, but they would even dare to Pale God Says: 'Times have changed, Your Majesty.'
"From today onwards, resources will be supplied without limit, and all research needs will be unconditionally approved. In short, immediately launch the nuclear weapons research program. We must develop a real nuclear weapon within two years to deliver a devastating blow to that Pale God!" Senator Anlan's gaze swept over Senator Rothschild beside him, seemingly with a deeper meaning.
But regardless, this arms race over Pale God has only just begun.
The war between the Pale Crusade and the Holy Empire intensifies, but the overall situation has been completely reversed.
In the past, the Pale Holy See reaped considerable war benefits by virtue of its fearlessness, individual strength, great power, and oppressive methods of conquest.
The corpses of those who died on the battlefield and the seriously wounded were all taken back and transformed into Vampire, becoming new fighting forces. Therefore, the Pale Holy See continued to fight with a spirit of fearlessness and suicidal courage, and its number of people not only did not decrease, but even gradually increased.
This is the fundamental reason why they have been able to gradually expand outwards.
The so-called individual power is just a few numbers, but outwardly it manifests as strong men wielding logs, capable of smashing down city walls with their bare hands; Vampire, like ancient martial arts masters, effortlessly scaling walls in the night and instigating large-scale internal strife; witches spewing acid, melting large holes in the walls and causing the defenses to crumble; and winged Angel using their aerial abilities to drop bombs, even using their flight to drop Vampire from the sky without parachutes, thus facilitating the airborne deployment of soldiers.
All the greatness of an individual human being after acquiring extraordinary abilities can be manifested in this war, which is why the Pale Holy See was able to expand outwards under the fire of gunfire.
But things are different now.
A single shot from a machine gun firing 20mm bullets could shatter half of a person's body. A single shot from a howitzer or even a mortar would turn a person into dust.
Even fourth and Fifth-Generation Vampire were crushed to pieces by the tank. Such injuries were difficult for them to repair, and such corpses could not be transformed back into Vampire.
As a result, the Pale Crusade ' manpower was drastically reduced, and no one could withstand the barrage of 20mm machine gun bullets. This caused their previous advantage on the battlefield to turn into a complete reversal of fortune, and they were even beaten so badly that they could not even lift their heads.
If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Empire's capital hadn't cut corners on weaponry and equipment, the Pale Crusade would probably be sitting ducks on the front lines today.
But they are now suffering from more than just that.
And the current state of that Pale God.
It's very strange that Norton, such a heartless and despicable person, made everyone grit their teeth and endure his most ruthless oppression while he was around, but when he left, it suddenly became clear that all stability depended on that Pale God!
Therefore, during this period of Pale God's current emo, panic and turmoil also arose within the Pale Holy See. This phenomenon was reflected on the front lines of the war, resulting in unstable morale, weakened fighting spirit, and even instilling fear in the army.
Even Abraham, when commanding from the front lines, looked worried.
