The garrison commander's expression didn't change as he pointed toward Eagle's Nest Mountain in the distance: "Our scouts discovered a strange type of stone there."

"Huh?" Lucina instinctively wanted to ask what this had to do with magic bombs, but the words reached her lips before she suddenly realized he definitely wouldn't say meaningless things. She immediately got curious: "Strange stones?"

"Dense, hard stones, mostly gray and black. When you break them open, they show shell-like fractures." The garrison commander's face showed incredible disbelief as he pulled a small stone from his chest: "Feel it for yourself."

Lucina took it and examined it carefully, but didn't see anything special. "Just rub or tap this with anything, then sense for magic fluctuations. If I remember correctly, you're a high-level magician, right?"

Magic fluctuations?

Hitting this stone would produce magic fluctuations?

Her first thought was: impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Everyone knew that to trigger magic power, you needed a spellcaster. Magic triggering was related to intelligent beings' mental power—how could stones trigger it?

But this was a battlefield! A general couldn't possibly joke about this kind of thing right now!

Though her heart was full of confusion and she found it incredible, Lucina still held the stone and casually knocked it against her armor. Instantly, her expression changed dramatically—it really could trigger magic power!!!

Eagle's Nest Mountain actually had such miraculous creations?!

"Pretty incredible, right?! I think so too. Though I have no magic talent, I know that until today, everyone believed magic power couldn't be triggered by non-living things. But that's the reality. Using two such stones to rub and collide works even better. Because of this... one of our unlucky mid-level magicians is still lying in bed."

With the two countries about to go to war, the scouts he'd sent out had become increasingly capable, naturally including some supernatural beings.

Not long ago, his scouts met some Teylir Emirates guards in that area. His people used ranged weapons to crush the opponents almost overwhelmingly. Probably panicked by being crushed, with no effective ranged attack methods, the Teylir Emirates soldiers just started throwing stones!

Then something weird happened.

When a stone hit a magic bomb... the magic bomb actually exploded!

How could a magic bomb just explode like that?

Everyone found it incredible.

You have to know, magic bomb explosions required two major conditions. Many people had tested this skeptically—there were even rumors of legendary knights violently attacking them. Even when magic bombs were beaten to pieces, they couldn't be detonated. In the end, they had to admit these things could only be triggered after magic power input.

That mid-level magician, his mind full of disbelief, started looking for what variable was different after killing those enemy scouts... The final result was that he verified the stone was special. For this, he also took several direct hits from magic bombs...

Hearing the garrison commander's words, Lucina was dumbfounded: "You just need to hit magic bombs with that kind of stone to detonate them?"

"Don't even need to hit them. Regardless of size, as long as these stones experience impact, they'll trigger magic bombs." The garrison commander took a deep breath: "If we put these stones together with magic bombs and they get impacted together, couldn't we possibly..."

"They'd definitely explode! As long as the impact is sufficient!" Lucina said with absolute certainty.

After confirming this stone's properties, her first thought was exactly this—combine some highly sensitive magic bombs with this stone type, place them in specific positions, and the moment someone stepped on them, the magic bombs would detonate directly?!

"That's what I think too." The garrison commander nodded slightly: "In fact, our magicians have already verified this—it really can successfully detonate... Though according to our verification, only people weighing over 300 pounds stepping on them might cause detonation."

"That's enough for now, isn't it?" Lucina's mouth turned up slightly. This garrison commander really was reliable: "Don't forget—the minotaur tribe's war giant bull knight regiments and similar units will definitely be charging at the front. Forget 300 pounds—1,000 pounds would be easy... We can also have Viscount Roster and his people make a batch of more sensitive magic bombs later. Then the requirements would be even lower, right?"

"This... sensitivity can also be adjusted? Also, regarding Viscount Roster... shouldn't capital personnel communicate with him?" The garrison commander was somewhat worried.

Though Viscount Roster was just a mere viscount, he'd been red-hot these past few days. Supposedly many major nobles were trying to curry favor and invest.

No wonder though—as long as there was money and resources, Roster territory could mass-produce magic bombs and ray guns. Supposedly their territory had some kind of array that could automatically charge power modules!

Really too incredible!

Much more incredible than those strange stones!

"I'll communicate with the capital. Even without the capital, I believe Viscount Roster would definitely help us accomplish this." Lucina smiled: "Because he's a fanatic of the God of Technology!"

The garrison commander was somewhat confused.

He didn't understand much about the God of Technology, but since this Wolf General said so, there probably wouldn't be problems.

"Alright, according to messages from our scouts, the Teylir Emirates army will arrive before noon tomorrow. Let's lay some down first. Low sensitivity has its advantages—we can easily handle ordinary enemies, but war giant bulls are different. We're bombing them specifically."

Once war was involved, whether new or old style, Lucina always showed extraordinary ability.

Laying traps combining these special stones with magic bombs wasn't particularly difficult. Under Lucina and others' direction, they quickly laid large quantities near the natural gap not far from Twilight City.

This was practically the only route from the Kingdom of Dawn to the Teylir Emirates. Twilight City was built here precisely to guard this natural passage formed by two mountains.

This passage was called—Eagle's Nest Pass!

The Teylir Emirates army moved slowly. The war giant bull knight regiment led by Raging Horn couldn't go too fast either, but the assembly point wasn't far from the Kingdom of Dawn to begin with. Now they could already see the two mountains forming Eagle's Nest Pass in the distance.

Watching enemies getting closer, the heat in Raging Horn's eyes became even more intense. As long as they could take Twilight City, they could drive straight in and enter the Kingdom of Dawn's heartland... there were countless stores of food and treasure there!

Just as he was lost in fantasy, a small bird flew over. In the sky, it suddenly started talking: "Great Chieftain Raging Horn, the High Priestess wants you to come over... regarding the God of War's miracle..."
