Student An Le was mistakenly captured by the Black Impermanence, forcing her to reincarnate into a poor farming family in another world, equipped with the Seven-Colored Pastoral System given by the...
The potential crisis of Apocalypse was thus resolved.
If the Kingdom of Kro really takes over this golden city and opens its border defenses wide, then conquering Tianqi in the future will be a piece of cake.
With the Kingdom of Islail currently vulnerable, it dares not even think of attacking Jincheng or going against Anle, who possesses these powerful weapons.
It is likely that in the eyes of the King of Islail, Anle has a powerful backer behind him, a force that they cannot shake.
Of course, he also felt that this little girl was far too mysterious.
The antidote for the black fungus snake venom that they had previously produced, and the powerful weapon they had just brought out, were all things he could not comprehend.
This batch of weapons will cause a dramatic change in the world.
Giving it to the Kingdom of Islaile would become a source of future trouble.
**
Anle and Yurong moved into the palace under the king's arrangement, while the cannon that had been used as a show of force remained in the king's palace.
This cannon was a powerful argument the king used to persuade his ministers.
Anle will naturally not be taken away.
Besides, whether she takes it away or not makes no difference to her; she can stop it at any time by controlling it with her mind.
As long as she cuts off the communication between the Tianyuan System's energy and the external thunder cannon with her mind, the thunder cannon becomes useless.
Since this thunder cannon originated from her farmland, or she could retrieve it with her mind, it was also possible.
Therefore, it makes no real difference to her where Lei Pao is placed.
All she has to do now is wait for the king to successfully negotiate with the two powerful ministers.
Having been treated as an honored guest and entertained in the palace for a whole day, I was anxiously waiting but could only pretend to be calm and at ease. Finally, I received a message from the king.
"Two guests, we have come on the King's orders to bring you to the royal palace."
Anle and Yurong exchanged a glance and followed the person to the royal palace. This was Anle's second time entering the royal palace. Unlike her first time when she forced her way in, she appeared relaxed and composed. In fact, she was extremely nervous. Although she knew that there should be no major problems, she couldn't help but fear that some unexpected changes might occur.
"My esteemed guests, is there anything I have done wrong in our hospitality? Are you resting well?" Upon seeing Anle and Yurong enter, the king immediately rose, put down his official duties, and came to greet them.
Anle nodded with a smile, eager to know the final decision.
"That's good. They let us over, so it seems things have come to a conclusion."
"The matter has been settled. After seeing this incredibly powerful weapon, the ministers unanimously decided to send troops to the Kingdom of Kro. However, this weapon—"
The king paused, hesitating for a moment, unsure whether Anle would suddenly change his mind if he knew the preconditions for the ministers' agreement.
Anle's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and asked in a nonchalant manner, seemingly a little indifferent.
"What's wrong with this weapon? Is there something wrong with it?"
"While these weapons are indeed excellent, the ministers felt that sixty of them were far too few. Compared to the more than two hundred thousand troops of the Kingdom of Kro, they were still a drop in the ocean."
"If you could give my Kingdom of Islaile another two hundred guns, then taking over the Kingdom of Kro would be a piece of cake."
Anle's face froze, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes. Truly, greed knows no bounds.
"Does the King know the immense power of my Thunder Cannon, capable of destroying the peak of a mountain range?"
No matter how skilled a fighter is, they cannot withstand the power of this shot. Yesterday's use against the Queen's statue was merely a small test.
What does your Kingdom of Islail intend to do with the two hundred rifles you've taken from me? Do you want to completely annihilate the Kingdom of Kro and raze the entire Kingdom of Kro to the ground?
I don't recall ever mentioning in my terms with you that we would destroy the Kingdom of Kro. Our condition was simply to help you defeat the Kingdom of Kro, make it surrender, and submit to the Kingdom of Islaile.
Your ambitions are truly outrageous; I'm afraid no amount of artillery or cannons could satisfy you."
Seeing Anle's aura turn cold, the king quickly smiled apologetically.
"Please don't be angry, sir. Isn't this a discussion with a wise person?"
"Hmph, negotiations? What a joke!"
Wasn't the negotiation already concluded with the King last night?
"It was the King who said he would give you one day, but he didn't say he wanted to renege on our terms and agreement. Since the King is so inconsistent, then this cooperation ends here."
Anle was actually angry, but she turned around and left. She was just trying to scare them and didn't really intend to leave.
“Master, wait a moment. Why don’t you bring out the person behind this so I can speak with him personally? We did reach an agreement last night, but I don’t even know who the other party in this transaction is.”
Anle paused, then turned away without looking back.
"The goal has been achieved, that's enough. Your Majesty's curiosity is a bit too strong. However, Your Majesty, you've probably missed a key point."
To achieve our goal, we don't necessarily have to come to your Kingdom of Islail; we can do the same thing in the Apocalypse Empire.
Alternatively, we could choose the powerful Kingdom of Kro, which would achieve the same goal. I think the Kingdom of Kro would certainly welcome our arrival.
As long as the objective is achieved, I don't care who gets to hand over these weapons.
The Kingdom of Islail is not the only one I can cooperate with. The Kingdom of Islail is just one of the many I can choose from.
The reason we chose your Kingdom of Islail is simply because we wanted to do you a favor by offering help in your time of need.
I wanted to give you a good record of the Kingdom of Islaile, but instead you've gone too far and tried to make exorbitant demands on me. You're really clueless.
If I were to point this weapon at the territory of your Kingdom of Islail, your Kingdom of Islail would probably cease to exist by now.
So utterly oblivious to the state of their own country, ha! Go ahead and struggle here, Kingdom of Islail, I'm not playing with you anymore.
"And a word of advice to the King: perhaps it's best to avoid things like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
Upon hearing this, the king's expression changed drastically. He had personally witnessed the power of this weapon, and if it were used against his Kingdom of Islaile, then his Kingdom of Islaile would indeed be doomed.
Compared to the Kingdom of Kro, the Kingdom of Islael was still a small country, with a territory smaller than that of the Apocalypse Empire.
How could they withstand the bombardment of these thunder cannons?
“Master, I was ungrateful. You must not treat me, Israel, like this.”
King Islay was thrown into a panic. He was short-sighted and narrow-minded, and had not thought of these things. He only thought about how to get more benefits from them. He was so tempted by the weapons that he lost his mind.
