69: Of the millions of Dahe souls, only two are left!
Immediately after, the Sky Curtain provided a brief introduction to this special missile.
[Sky Curtain Tip: Eagle Country's Hypersonic Intercontinental Missile, as the name suggests, is a top-tier missile with speeds far exceeding the speed of sound that can strike from one continent to another, possessing extremely high maneuverability and a vast flight range...]
[The speed of the AGM-183 ARRW can reach fifteen times the speed of sound, taking only ten minutes to travel from the Eagle Country mainland to the Eastern Sea Island! The two missiles that just destroyed the Kure and Maizuru Military Bases were launched from Seattle in the Eagle Country!]
Eagle Country would not reveal the principles of the dungeon technology to the Challengers within the dungeon; it was a matter of principle, so they only introduced the basics.
But even this small hint was enough to shock the Emperor and Ito Hidekazu beyond measure!
This single intercontinental missile alone could be said to have shattered all the Emperor's thoughts, causing his remaining hope to vanish instantly.
This kind of weapon completely widened the gap in combat capability by an untold number of levels!
The Emperor could not even imagine a missile that could strike from one continent to another; with such a weapon, Eagle Country could bomb the Eastern Sea Island without ever leaving home.
Even in an active offensive, they would hold all the initiative and wouldn't need to take any risks at all.
The Emperor's previous thoughts of turning defense into offense and reversing the tide of battle were nothing more than wishful thinking.
The enemy can strike you at will, yet you have no way to counter them.
What turning point could there be? It was simply impossible, without a single chance.
Crucially, the Sky Curtain also mentioned the concept of hypersonic speed!
The Emperor felt his head buzzing, his vision blurred, and his thoughts became a complete mess. He felt like his decades of knowledge had been completely shattered...
What is the concept of the speed of sound?! If measured, it's 340m/s!
The Emperor was considered well-informed on the Azure Star, yet the current technology on the Azure Star had nothing that could exceed the speed of sound—whether it was armaments or shells, they were far from it!
Yet the missile Lin Ye placed in the dungeon could exceed the speed of sound by fifteen times!!
This wasn't just being ahead of the times; it was crushing the world, playing with it!
Putting everything else aside, although Lin Ye's ranking on the Sky Curtain Hero Ranking was only in the TOP 50, in terms of military technology alone, he was absolutely a top-tier existence that crushed the Azure Star.
"Why?!"
"Sky Curtain, why on earth is this?"
At this moment, he was too weak to vent his confusion and could only throw the question to the Sky Curtain.
"Why does Lin Ye alone possess so many world-leading technologies? Any one of his technologies might be something an entire Settlement could never fully research."
"Sky Curtain, is this really reasonable? Can a dungeon Designer really achieve this much on their own?! I challenge this!"
[Sky Curtain Tip: To help Challengers clear the dungeon, the Sky Curtain has already reduced the difficulty of Raging Sea multiple times. If the Designer Lin Ye were to utilize all the technology in the dungeon, it would be even more terrifying than it is now...]
"How can he achieve this much by himself?!"
"If he is supported by a massive power, then there's clearly a problem with the dungeon's audit! Or is the Sky Curtain's descent originally intended to torture us!"
The Sky Curtain immediately gave a response:
[Sky Curtain Tip: All the technologies used by the dungeon Designer Lin Ye in the Raging Sea dungeon are supported by sufficient principles! Therefore, the appearance of these advanced military weapons in the dungeon is completely reasonable!]
[The Sky Curtain's audit is very strict. Challengers do not need to question the fairness and reasonableness of the dungeon... Only by continuously challenging dungeons and gaining experience can long-term progress be achieved.]
The Sky Curtain would not lie.
If the Sky Curtain said all of this was the result of Lin Ye's individual effort, then it could not be false.
The Emperor didn't even dare to think about what would happen next; after one missile, there couldn't possibly not be a second or a third.
He turned his gaze back to the light screen.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Several other military bases on the Eastern Sea Island were also blasted into ruins almost simultaneously by Hypersonic Intercontinental Missiles.
These repeated loud bangs sounded like a death sonata to the Emperor at this moment.
In an instant, seventeen of the remaining eighteen military bases were razed to the ground.
[Kadena Air Base has been destroyed. Remaining dungeon participants: 300,000...]
[...]
[Nagoya Army Factory has been destroyed. Remaining dungeon participants: 150,000...]
[...]
[Ominato Navy Third Base has been destroyed. Remaining dungeon participants: 50,000...]
Watching the number of participants in the dungeon backend rapidly decrease, the Emperor even felt a sense of dread that made him unable to watch further, and he looked away from the light screen.
Just then, a violent tremor like a sudden gale caused the Imperial Garden Pine Pavilion to shake violently.
All sorts of exquisite decorations inside the Songzhi Pavilion fell and shattered, and the cries of the Imperial Garden maids could be heard from outside.
For a moment, the entire Imperial Garden was in chaos!
Unlike watching the broadcast on the light screen, this vibration was actually happening.
Under the shockwave, both the Emperor and Ito Hidekazu stumbled and fell to the ground.
The Emperor's Katana also rolled around the Songzhi Pavilion during the jolting.
At the same time, all the broadcast images on the light screen disappeared!
"Lord Emperor!"
Ito Hidekazu used all his strength to help the Emperor up, and at the same time, the shockwave gradually subsided.
"Lord Emperor... it must be the Edo First Army Arsenal that was destroyed!"
"The Edo First Army Arsenal is on the outskirts of Edo, less than twenty kilometers from the Imperial Garden. The shockwave just now must have been from Eagle Country bombing the Edo First Army Arsenal," Ito Hidekazu said hurriedly.
The Emperor coughed twice. His face was completely devoid of color, and his whole body ached as if it were falling apart.
In fact, there was no need for Ito Hidekazu to remind him; since the images on the light screen had all disappeared, it meant the Emperor, as the dungeon commander, had lost all the broadcast perspectives of the Challengers.
Naturally, it also meant that besides the Emperor and Ito Hidekazu, there were no other Challengers left in the dungeon!
The last military base, the Edo First Army Arsenal, was also declared destroyed!
[Edo First Army Arsenal has been destroyed. Remaining dungeon participants: 2...]
Two people...
Two people!
Only two remain!
"Hahaha!" After a brief moment of daze, the Emperor suddenly burst into hysterical laughter. "Good! Hahaha. Good!!"
"Well done, Lin Ye! My million Great Harmony heroes, killed by you until only two remain!"
The Emperor seemed to be laughing, but it was actually a form of deep sorrow.
"Ito-kun, a million-strong army killed by a single dungeon until only two are left—have you ever heard of such a joke?"
From the time the Challenger camp's Navy and Air Force were attacked by the Extinguish Country Fleet until now, only half a day had passed, and yet a million-strong army had been slaughtered down to just two people.
Such an event would be a significant chapter in the entire dungeon history of the Azure Star.
All Azure Star people would remember Lin Ye, and they would also remember him and his million subjects.
However, Lin Ye would be seen as a super dungeon genius who defeated a million alone, while he, the Emperor, would only be treated as a joke!
Treated as the background for Lin Ye's ascent to divinity!
"Amaterasu... Susanoo... is this how you favor the people of Great Harmony?"
The Emperor stumbled again and knelt at the entrance of the Songzhi Pavilion, looking up at the sky.
Yet even so, the voice of the Sky Curtain continued to chatter incessantly in his ears.
[Sky Curtain Tip: The Sky Curtain has detected that only two people remain in the Challenger camp, and there is no longer any possibility of defeating the Eagle Country. Now, the Eagle Country is willing to give the remaining Challengers one last chance: surrender and submit to the Eagle Country!]
[Otherwise, the Eagle Country will launch the most brutal ultimate sanction against the Eastern Sea Island!]
