But it is strange to say that after the invention of the nuclear bomb, it did not immediately lead to the end of the world as predicted by the people of "Ess Tianyu", but became the defender of the peace of that world - for the next whole century, the "Ess Tianyu" countries that possessed nuclear bombs did not dare to take the lead in using nuclear bombs in war for fear of nuclear retaliation by hostile countries, and then did not dare to launch high-intensity wars, and no longer slaughtered prisoners and civilians in warring areas at will. It is also out of fear of the devastating power of nuclear bombs that people have become more cautious about war and more willing to settle disputes between nations in a peaceful way.

The fact that a weapon of destruction originally created for war turned out to be an "angel" to maintain world peace is really a living black humor.

In Veronica's view, the legendary spellcaster of the world of Varess is like the nuclear bomb of "Ustianyu", a very destructive strategic weapon. Its value is mainly reflected in the aspect of deterrence, forcing the enemy to dare not break the bottom line in war, which has been fully demonstrated in the current conflict. For example, the Imperial Navy kidnapped six Parnia merchant ships not long ago, blew up the merchant ships and used them to block the shipping route of the Parnia Military Port, but the officers and men of the Imperial Navy did not harm the sailors and civilians on the merchant ships in the process of carrying out this mission, and specially sent two frigates to send them safely to Coral Port, and then released them all. Of course, the above-mentioned acts caused varying degrees of damage to the owners and passengers of merchant ships, but after all, they did not threaten their lives, which is the embodiment of the "bottom line" and "rules" in modern warfare.

On the contrary, if Prince Carol gathers legendary friends to join forces to assassinate Charles Lucien, the commander of the Imperial Navy, it will break through this bottom line, and it will inevitably lead to fierce retaliation from the legendary powerhouses of the Empire, just like the two sides drop nuclear bombs on each other, and the war will turn into an unprincipled vendetta, and this is an act that cannot be tolerated by both warring parties and even neutral countries.

Although Prince Carroll was unable to assassinate the Imperial generals himself, his daughter's idea of a "night attack" reminded him. Parnia's fleet was blocked in the military harbor and could not move, but fortunately, the naval aviation unit - the "Griffin Knights" - was not hindered by shipwrecks and mines, and could fly above the Imperial warships under the cover of night to drop bombs.

Prince Carroll immediately stated his intentions, winning the unanimous support of all the participants. The Knights of Parnia's griffons were dispatched overnight, with two hundred griffons carrying heavy bombs and another three hundred griffons carrying bombs to provide cover for the bombing company.

Before setting out, all the griffons, along with the cavalry on their backs, were given "Invisibility Potion" and "Dark Vision Potion". When everything was ready, the Griffin Knights quietly left the harbor and flew straight to the anchorage of the Imperial fleet.

The commander of the Order, General Andrew, believed that the Imperial Navy was exhausted after a full day of fierce fighting, and the news came from the "Little Dolphin" that the flagship of the Imperial Navy was brightly lit, the military band played all night, and it seemed that a banquet was being held, so it must have been a good opportunity for a night attack. However, when he led his troops to the sky above the anchorage of the Imperial fleet, he immediately found that the real situation was not as optimistic as he expected: above the warship were groups of vultures and horses, clearly the Imperial Navy sentinels on night patrol, the waters where the capital battleship was located were pitch black, and the lights were strictly controlled, and the frigates and destroyers surrounding the perimeter of the capital battleship were lit up above the bridge. These searchlights, which are placed on the high ground of the warship, can rotate 360 degrees like an anti-aircraft battery, and the searchlights made by magic technology are all blessed with "Eagle Eye", "Immortal Flame", "Invisible Detection" and "Magic Alarm", projecting a blazing and straight pillar of light, sweeping back and forth above the warship, illuminating as bright as day.

A griffon in charge of approaching the reconnaissance was accidentally swept by the searchlight, and the light immediately turned from white to bright red, and a piercing magic alarm sounded, and the scream was terrifying. The night guard on the frigate immediately reported the news of the enemy attack to his superiors, and then conveyed it to the fleet headquarters and even the commanders of the entire fleet at all levels.

Frigates and destroyers fired hundreds of "Invisible See" flares into the airspace where Parnia's griffons were spotted, illuminating the night sky brighter than day, and all griffons were forced to show their tracks, blinded by the bright light.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft guns of the battleships on the sea let out a rapid roar, and the dense shells weaved into a glittering net in the night sky, and within a minute more than twenty griffons were shot and fell in mourning. Most of the griffons who were shot didn't have time to drop their bombs, causing a detonation that exploded in the air and left the knight on the griffin's back with no bones.

Seeing this situation, General Andrew knew that the enemy was well guarded, and it was difficult to succeed in a night attack, so he hesitated whether he should retreat decisively.

While he hesitated, a large flock of vulture cavalry rose from the deck of the Imperial fleet. The four escort battalions of the 1st and 2nd Knights of the Imperial Navy, with a total of 1,200 vulture cavalry skilled in aerial combat, were ordered to take off urgently to expel the night raiders from Parnia.

In a one-on-one head-to-head match, the Imperial Vulture Cavalry is no match for the Parnia Griffin Knights, but the Vulture Cavalry is more than twice as numerous as the Griffin Knights, and has an overwhelming advantage of two against one. General Andrew had to admit that the night attack was a complete failure, and that continuing to fight would only pay more unnecessary sacrifices, so he immediately ordered all the knights to drop the bombs on the spot, and personally led an escort company to take charge of the break, while the rest of the vulture knights withdrew to Parnia's airspace as quickly as possible.

The Griffin Knights carried out General Andrew's order in a hurry, and on this terrible night, less than three hundred of the five hundred Griffin Knights successfully withdrew to Parnia. The knights in charge of the broken rear fought until the last moment under the heavy siege of the vulture horse cavalry, and almost all the troops were destroyed. General Andrew, who took the lead, became the first high-ranking general to die heroically since the war between the two sides.

When the news of the failure of the night attack and the death of General Andrew reached the palace of Parnia, Lady Theodora and Veronica could not help but cry on the spot, and Prince Carroll's eyes were also red.

The failure of the night attack weighed on people's hearts like a boulder, and what was more important now was how to defend their homes and how to survive the next two days, which were destined to be even more difficult, than mourning the dead.
