His castle! His beautiful castle!
As he flew high in the sky, with Golenich following behind him, Wankel's mind was filled with worry. Care for his beautiful, hard-won lair, his staff of elite servants, and his magical treasure in the vault. Not necessarily in this order.
Thankfully, as he climbed over the top, he found his castle unscathed, protected by a crimson barrier. The one who once protected the Forsaken from the dragon's wrath now saves the treasure.
He couldn't say the same about the rest of the mountain, though.
The explosion caused the entire volcano to collapse, sending lava pouring down the mountain and into the nearby sea. The ground glowed with green light and molten energon shards, and the air was filled with eye-itching dust. The weapon left a noticeable hole in the hill where it hit, a hole large enough to cover the entire city if it had hit Mumulin.
Even if the weapon misses its target, it releases tons of toxic fumes into the atmosphere. "[Control the Weather: Clear Skies]," Manlin Victor rides on Gorinich's back as poisonous clouds engulf Mu

before dispersing them harmlessly.
While his entourage dealt with the weather, Winkle dove into the water to get a closer look at the devastation.
You are entering a [Chernobyl] realm. [Fire], [Nuclear], [Earth] and [Poison] attacks will be greatly strengthened.
Types other than [Undead], [Arcane], [Alien], [Insect], [Elemental] and [Artificial] will lose 10 points of maximum health per minute unless they are protected by [Core].
Vitality check successful. [Irradiation] Disease Denial.
Once his magic finally stabilizes, he will have to use his [Feng Shui] to transform the realm. However, the destructive force of the explosion left him speechless. This isn’t Brandon Moore’s Wind Spear, and it’s not Wota
The powerful [Twilight of the Gods]. To cause that much damage, Fankel would have needed at least a minute of non-stop carpet bombing.
The meteor did it in the blink of an eye.
"They have nuclear weapons," Manlin Victor whispered to himself as he rode Gorinich, deeply frightened even with the Knight Kia behind him. "Arrow of Light."
"They have missiles," Nat Kia added with a frown. "Any idea where they were launched from?"
"They used power stones to propel the missiles," Manlin Victor said, pointing to the debris scattered across the mountain. "Our casters trace the magic back to its source. Finally."
Of course, the timid fairies easily shot his castle without retaliation. It won't be long, Wankel promised himself, not long.
"Some intercontinental ballistic missiles can hit targets more than 10,000 kilometers away," Knight Kia said, although Vai

Didn't fully understand it all. "Why don't they just open a portal in Goo Goo and drop the bomb?"
"Well, we invested -" Manlin Victor couldn't help but said when Winkel glanced at him, "I let the Agartha and Happy Kingdom be established in the cities and larger areas of the V&V Empire. Anti-hostile teleportation defense systems were set up. They blocked any attempts by unauthorized followers or V&V members to open the portal. We also had anti-aircraft systems set up, but apparently the missiles were moving too fast for them to shoot them down."
"Smart idea, Manling Victor," Winkel congratulated his chief of staff, then tried to figure out what was going on.
Intelligence check successful.
"Their target was me," Winkle realized, finding meaning in the chain of events. "But they missed."
"Maybe they have nuclear weapons, but they don't have the infrastructure that would allow them to hit their targets with lethal precision," said Ma

"Do you think that's why they want to scare us?" Cavalier Kia murmured. "Confirm our location?"
"I believe they wanted to call His Majesty first because they wanted him to die himself," the friend Victor explained to his companions. "Then they tried to target me because I was always on Winkle's side. When they couldn't find my location, they tried to find you, Kia, and when they failed, they lost patience and asked Mu

The bomb was launched from a rough location. "
"Why use power stones?" If they had nukes, they should have a whole rocket rig. "
"Well, either they had ICBMs but didn't know how to use them, so they replaced the warheads with copies of Moorish Spears, or..."
"O
?”
"Or they're trying to build their own nuclear weapon and this is just a test."
The paladin was silent for a while before finally speaking. "I'm going to Gadmani to request an invasion fleet and remove my old men immediately. If they develop a nuclear arsenal, the entire European continent will be in danger. No country is immune to bombing."
"The castle's shields successfully protected it from the blast," Manlin Victor said. "Maybe he could design a city-wide version?"
"Yes, go find him." Winkel finally spoke, although he was unwilling to say these words.
His words shocked even his most loyal friends. "Your Majesty, have you agreed to ask Fulipeng for help?"
"I hate it as much as you do, Manling Victor," Winkle replied seriously. "But if he can protect my subjects from these arrows, then the safety of my servants will take precedence."
His decision made this clear to his most capable men.
This is an extraordinary time.
This is a war and anything can happen.
Even summoning the Forsaken.
After the disaster, Mu

The residents were greatly shocked. Winkle decided to appease them with a speech, but first, he summoned all of his elite followers and allies to his treasure. His war council gathered to discuss the threat, inviting guests like Grandrac to offer their opinions.
"I understand now why you called for the secret meeting, young Viktor," the older dragon said with a frown. He is rarely seen disturbed by anything. "I have never seen such powerful destructive power outside of the flight of maggots. When I was awake, the gods had not yet come to this world created by dragons."
"So will you support my career?" Vai

"I want it."G

Ake nodded. "You can also count on me to support you in the coming war, young king."
"We can't wait for the conclave." "We must attack Pladen now."
"The sooner we land on Prydain's shores, the better." agreed the dwarf Mabro. "Fairies aren't stupid enough to blow up their own homes."
Delicious McPhee cleared her throat, a little skeptical. "I'm torn. On the one hand, our assets are fully exposed to the risk of financial collapse, but on the other hand, if we attack the shores without additional support, I expect the market to collapse."
"I'm going to have a class reunion," Isabel Moore suggested, standing next to a heavily armed Manling Victor. "I believe they will share the fruits of victory."
"Yes, most people in our class want to rule the world, not burn it down," Ma

"How reassuring." Knight Kya replied with a frown. "But I stand by what I said. We need Gadmani and I can mobilize them. If we attack from multiple fronts, the enemy will not be able to deploy weapons and blow us into the sky."
"That's just a hypothesis," retorts Unpalatable Alison. "We need a more reliable way to deal with bombs."
Intelligence check successful.
"There are two of us," Winkle said, drawing their attention to him, "Manlin Victor can change the weather and shoot their arrows away, and I can shoot them down with my breath. "
"That's fine, but Your Majesty, the Gugu people will not be protected while you are away."
"Minions who cannot fight or contribute to the war effort will be evacuated to the moon," Winkle announced. "That place was so dark that not even the fairies dared attack it."
"Yeah, even the missiles can't hit it," said the unpalatable Allison, "or at least I hope they can't?"

It will be ensured that smoke does not contaminate the area. "
"We will do it." Man Ling nodded. "Your Majesty, if the secret meeting goes smoothly, how many dragons can we help?"
"It's all tenths," Grandrac replied, confusing everyone.
"Servant Victor, we dragons are greedy creatures," Winkle explained. "We need a lot of cows and fat to stay in top condition. Unfortunately, the world is too small to accommodate all of us, so our geniuses came up with a solution. We hibernated for centuries, usually For thousands of years."
"I understand." Juris nodded. "In this way, the prey population can be restored to a sustainable level. But considering His Majesty's appetite..."
"Only one in 10 is active at a given time," Winkel confirmed. "The Conclave is a gathering of awake dragons to vote to awaken the sleeping nine-tenths for the sake of war. We sing the song of the ancient maggot, and our race as a whole will move to destroy our enemies."
"Like gold-eating insects," Grandlack added. "May their evil never again stain Orremund."
"But if only one in ten dragons is active, that means at least..." Manlin Victor tried to tally the numbers. "Ten thousand?"
"Enough to wipe Prydan off the map," Winkle confirmed. "Is it an arrow of light?"
The rest of the discussion focused on protecting Mu

method, evacuate civilians before an attack; either go to the cursed moon, or go to the underground kingdom of Agartha as Marbro proposed. For months Winkel's army had been preparing for an attack, prepared for any eventuality.
They would not let the fairies win this war, either on the ground or in their hearts.
Finally, Winkel ordered his fleet of servants to prepare for landing in the coming days. Knight Kia will return to Gadmani to summon the aid of her race, while the V&V Empire will summon all of its allies to join the invasion force.
"Is there anything else?" asked Winkle, preparing to dissolve his committee before appeasing his people.
"Yes," Manling Victor said. "King Wotan is still waiting outside. I think he has made his decision."
About time.
Winkle teleported out of the castle with his minions and found Longbain on one of the castle towers with a Valkyrie on his shoulder. The farmer looked at the ruined hillside with disdain.
"An all-powerful arrow that can hit the target from a distance without any retaliation to the user." Wotan shook his head. "This is a cowardly weapon, not fit for a warrior."
"In my world, it's used as a deterrent," Ma

"Clearly Odius doesn't deal with threats," the former Lord said.
"Does this bother you, Longbain?" Vai

Guess. "My advice still stands."
His former rival crossed his arms, thoughtfully. "I cannot send you to House Mel's stronghold in Prydain without the full force of my people upon you." "But there is a place where I can fulfill my oath."
Winkel, like his chief of staff, remained motionless.
"The Mel family has a door to the world you call 'Earth,'" King Wotan explained. "When Mag Mel was not exiled for creating this system, they used it to capture slaves and slaves. His daughter retrieved it decades ago. I can take you there, Seducing the Fairy Queen into a fight.”
"Where is the door?" Victor asked immediately.
"In the dark forest, in a place between the Winter Kingdom and this Czarist country. I could open an elven ring for it. Later..." The former Lord shook his head. "I will not take up arms against my own kind, but if you keep your promise and seek revenge only on the Mel family, I will not stop you."
"Your Majesty, we need to condemn this door before they bring out more weapons," Manlin Victor said to his dragon master.
"This is the gateway to your homeworld, servant," Vai

pointed out. "Maybe the only one. Do you really want to close it forever?"
"My home is with you," his friend replied, warming the dragon's heart. "My family would probably have moved away by now. I can sleep better knowing Odius can't threaten them."
"As long as she lives, the city gate can be rebuilt." King Langtan pointed out coldly.
"You're doing a disservice."
"When?" Vai

Make a screeching sound.
"The sooner I end this pointless fight, the better."
"You can't remain neutral forever," Winkle replied, learning something about his new nemesis. Evil Odius has only slaves and enemies. If you don't serve her, she will kill you. "
Charisma check succeeds.
Despite hearing the news, King Wotan remained expressionless. "Maybe she'll try," he admitted. "But she's still my family."
species. Winkel didn't know what to think of this.
"Manling Victor, get ready," Long said. "As soon as I finish speaking, we will teleport to this door."
The fairies have been attacking his kingdom for too long.
It's time to treat others with their own treatment.
