"But I still cannot believe something like missiles or artillery doesn't exist."
"It exists," Stella said.
Bartrem and Mary glanced at her. "Really?"
"Believe me. I have seen how all empires rise and fall. That weapon exists, but I don't think it will be used in skirmishes. I once saw the pope of Montcresia use it before. I think it was called Divine Arbiter. It basically fired a thick golden light from the sky and vaporized everything nearby."
"The bible never said something like that," Mira said.
"Has your bible said something about angels coming out of holy light?"
"Yes?"
"That holy light vaporized the area around it before your angels secured the region."
"What about the Ceraisian Empire?" Mary asked. "Does the empire have that type of weapon?"
"It does. And it's very powerful."
"How powerful?" Aldred asked.
"It can almost reach every corner of the entire continent."
They all trembled in fear when they heard that.
"What's stopping them from using this weapon?"
