Annihilation of Blazing Lands.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
"Uh..."
The first to speak was Adalbert, a researcher who had worked with Ian for a long time and knew that his boss, sponsor, and superior would occasionally have sudden fits. So he said quite tactfully: "For The Empire, this could indeed be considered a monumental achievement... But Ian."
"No matter how you put it, Blazing Lands has two Fifth Energy Level powerhouses. It's not something that can be annihilated just because 'the weather is cool', right?"
—The Seven Cities Alliance, perhaps.
If Ian could know what was in Adalbert's mind, he would certainly ridicule him for being utterly crazy. What, the Seven Cities Alliance can be randomly wiped out just because they have only one Fifth Energy Level?
It actually can!
But now, he patiently explained: "Blazing Lands claims to have two Fifth Energy Levels, but in reality, they are about to split."
