In the seventy-fifth year of Norton, the war on the Southern Continent raged for five whole months without stopping. Such a terrifying war terrified the natives of the Northern Continent, who turned pale and their people dared not even set foot on the coast, and slunk back home.
They had thought that the massacres they suffered in the Northern Continent were already terrifying, suffocating, and cruel enough, but they never expected that the civil war between the same clans in the Northern Continent would be even more horrific, far exceeding anything they could have imagined.
On the contrary, the army of the East Continent was in high spirits. They did not expect that these slaves imprisoned by monsters would have such a high fighting spirit, which was even more tempting to these warlike races and made them even more excited.
For months, the East Continent continued to send troops, attempting to conquer the race enslaved by the monster in the Southern Continent, in order to seize all their wealth and women.
Their ultimate goal wasn't even wealth or territory, but rather to take away that immortal, Pale God and bring him back to their country for careful study.
Even so, the scale of the renewed northern war was still like child's play compared to the eastern battlefield of the Northern Continent and East Continent earlier were actually logistics personnel.)
To that Pale God Norton, it was utterly insignificant; even news from the northern rear came several times with only a few words: 'No fighting on the northern front.'
However, the number of lives contained within these five words is enough to reach hundreds of thousands.
However, compared to the fierce fighting across the eastern front and the northern Northern Continent, this was truly insignificant.
Both the Holy Empire and the Gothic Empire originally thought that the war would end in defeat and retreat due to insufficient logistical supplies from the Northern Continent. However, a piece of news came from the Northern Continent that shattered all their predictions.
Miles XIV, the first emperor of the Gothic Empire, returned his soul, was blessed by the Holy Lord Church, Ascension.
Jacob Gauss succeeded to the throne, was crowned by the Holy Lord Church, and became the new emperor, wielding absolute power.
This news swept across the entire Northern Continent Southern Continent like a storm, causing huge public opinion not only in the rear but also destabilizing the morale of the troops at the front. As a result, they retreated 60 kilometers to verify the accuracy of the news.
The truth is that he didn't want to call anymore, not that he was actually confirming the message's accuracy.
No one wanted to continue this horrific war, so they used the pretext of confirming the news to retreat.
In reality, both soldiers and commanders were secretly praying that the new emperor would issue a truce order so that the entire army could retreat and return home safely.
But no one could have imagined that this new emperor, Jacob, would be far more insane than Miles XIV!
In May of the seventy-fifth year of Norton, new orders were transmitted from the rear of the Northern Continent to the front-line military camps of the Southern Continent.
The war continues, and with double the force deployed again, the aim is to completely wipe out the entire Southern Continent!
In addition, this order completely liberalized the regulations on indiscriminate killing, denying the human legitimacy of the people of the Southern Continent in both a legal and Church sense, and allowing frontline soldiers to slaughter and torture at will!
These two orders brought devastation to the entire front lines of the Southern Continent.
However, the new emperor Jacob, was even more insane than they had imagined.
As soon as the order was given, a steady stream of newly recruited soldiers arrived on the battlefield within a month, followed by a ship full of superweapons—nuclear bombs.
As it turns out, Miles XIV was quite humane after all.
Now that this humane emperor is dead, everything is completely over.
In July of Norton 75, the first nuclear bomb was dropped on the front lines.
The Northern Continent missile system has not yet been successfully developed. Although the shells it fires can travel more than 200 kilometers, they are not suitable for the still immature nuclear weapons system.
So the method of dropping the first nuclear bomb in this Garden of Eden was almost identical to Norton's memory—dropping it from an airplane at high altitude.
To ensure a sufficient kill radius and a tremendous deterrent effect, the nuclear bombs released by the Northern Continent had a yield far exceeding that of Little Boy. Although they did not reach the level of the Tsar Bomba, they were still more than ten times the yield of Little Boy.
Norton, 1975, one night.
An airplane roared through the sky towards the frontline city.
Because the conflict between the Northern Continent had temporarily ceased due to the death of Miles XIV, both sides finally stopped their endless war and began to regroup for a larger-scale battle.
This led to a large number of soldiers gathering at the front-line military camps in the Southern Continent, and even forming a small town outside the city to temporarily station and rest.
However, this also greatly facilitated attacks from the Northern Continent.
The sun had not yet risen, but the roar of airplanes overhead had already put all the soldiers in the camp on alert.
Countless soldiers hid in strongholds or buildings, looking up to see how many planes would attack that night.
Air defense personnel immediately set up anti-aircraft weapons and began firing into the sky, attempting to use anti-aircraft cannons to shoot down the aircraft.
However, the plane was flying too high, making it almost impossible for current air defenses to deal effective damage.
"Damn it, what's the Northern Continent up to? Coming to scout in the middle of the night?"
"Where's the plane? Where's our plane? Go intercept it!"
After the planes had flown far away and there had been no more bomb whistling sounds in the sky, the soldiers hiding in the buildings and tunnels finally emerged one by one, some sighing deeply, others filled with rage.
I finally got to enjoy a peaceful life for a while, but then this Northern Continent comes to harass me at night. It's disgusting!
In the sky above, planes from the Southern Continent roared away, attempting to intercept the planes from the Northern Continent. Birdmen even took to the air, armed with guns, to chase after the planes.
Although the air power of the Northern Continent is strong, the war has been going on for several years, and the air power and air defense of the Southern Continent have also improved. Now they are no longer so afraid of this so-called air power.
After all, at this stage, the biggest use of this thing is just dropping some bombs.
Unexpectedly, the planes from the Northern Continent dropped not bombs, but the sun.
The soldiers of the Southern Continent rested again, and several officers even traveled together, wanting to enjoy themselves in a nearby city.
The night was deep, and I really didn't want to waste such a rare and leisurely opportunity.
However, just as they began to move, a point of white light suddenly appeared in the sky above the distant city.
"What is that?" an officer asked, pointing in confusion to a bright, star-like dot in the distance.
However, before he could finish speaking, the bright little spot of light began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it was as bright as the sun, hanging in the sky above the city!
However, this is only the beginning.
The blinding sun continued to expand, as if it had struck the Garden of Eden, spreading in an instant to the point that it completely obscured one's eyes.
By this point, their eyeballs were burned off.
Before the pain in my eyes could even fully surface, the enormous sun high in the city sky exploded completely.
"Boom!!!!"
A giant fireball shot into the sky, its waist surrounded by a semi-transparent circle.
The intense heat instantly incinerated everything at the epicenter of the city explosion; even the concrete could not withstand the terrifying temperature.
A shockwave swept across the city in an instant, visible to the naked eye. Houses swept by the shockwave collapsed almost instantly, and the people caught in it were almost instantly vaporized, leaving only a dark trail on the ground.
A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and a huge fireball, accompanied by a shockwave, released terrifying temperatures.
The city's power went out in an instant, destroying all the glass and wooden houses, and the entire city came to a complete standstill in that moment.
"Call!!!"
A scorching wind and shockwave swept in, turning the officers, whose eyes had just been burned, into charred remains and sending them flying into the sky.
The night was barely lit when half the city was destroyed.
The infrastructure was completely paralyzed, and there was even more terrifying radiation, which continued to pollute the city.
The entire course of the war was completely altered by this single nuclear bomb, and tonight is just the beginning.
