Upon hearing King Islay's words, Anle was not frightened. He paused for a moment, and to the king's surprise, he showed a slight astonishment.
"I never imagined that the disparity in strength between the Kingdom of Islail and the Kingdom of Kro would be so great."
"That's perfect. I have a batch of military equipment here, which should be very suitable for the current Kingdom of Islaile."
"Military equipment and weapons?" King Islay frowned.
Didn't this little girl understand what he just said? Did she even understand? The insurmountable gap between their two countries can't be bridged by acquiring some military equipment.
Moreover, the mere mention of military equipment and weapons made him even more agitated.
The reason why the army of the Kingdom of Islail was so easily defeated by the Kingdom of Kro was not only due to a lack of manpower, but also due to a lack of weaponry.
This is also why his Islail Kingdom was defeated so utterly without any chance of fighting back.
"Hmph, the Kingdom of Kro not only has tens of thousands of troops, but also excellent weapons. My weapons are simply no match for those of the Kingdom of Kro."
Do you really think the weapons and equipment you've brought out are comparable to the superior equipment of the Kingdom of Kro?
The king glanced sideways and instructed, "Captain of the Guard."
The captain of the guard understood and took down a long sword from the rack, drew the hilt of his own sword from his waist, put all his strength into it, and slashed the long sword horizontally with the blade.
The long sword remained, but the captain of the guard's scimitar suddenly broke in two.
Yu Rong's eyes narrowed slightly as he fixed his gaze on the intact longsword, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a fine weapon manufactured by the Kingdom of Kro in the last two years. It is incredibly hard and indestructible."
Yu Rong explained to An Le, who nodded in understanding, her tone quite normal, showing no sign of surprise or shock. "Oh, I see."
King Islay, seeing Anle's reaction, inwardly mocked himself, wondering what Anle was expecting.
There were no more opportunities for him to fantasize.
He's arguing with a child about something again; a child is still a child.
I don't understand the significance of such a weapon.
Such a weapon marked the beginning of an era, a symbol of a nation's strength, and a manifestation of its status among the great powers.
It is precisely because of such weapons as military equipment that this country has the opportunity to maintain its unshakeable power and status.
In a single leap, it became a powerful nation, and the Kingdom of Kro rose to the pinnacle of strength.
Under the suppression of the Kingdom of Kro, the Kingdom of Islail will gradually decline and may even perish.
On the road to ushering in a new era, Islall's elimination by the end of the system is now a foregone conclusion.
"Take these two men away," the king coldly ordered the chief guard.
Anle raised an eyebrow. What chance did he have to not even listen to her? She hadn't even said two words before he started rambling on and on, and he was already getting impatient?
You haven't even seen her military equipment, yet you've already concluded that her weapons are useless?
Well, it seems we can't cooperate with a king like this for long. We can only choose to cooperate temporarily and do a one-off deal.
"You didn't even look at my weapon before arrogantly denying the opportunity I mentioned. You, king, still need to work on your temper."
Anle's face also turned cold. After coldly uttering his words, he directly unleashed the weapon, the Thunder Cannon, in the main hall. He aimed it at the wide-open stained-glass window and then at a huge stone statue of a queen, no smaller than a castle, in the distance.
"boom--"
A lightning strike shattered the Queen's statue, reducing it to a pile of rubble.
The king and the chief guard couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound—
quiet--
The hall was completely silent!
The king and his chief guard stared in shock at the destroyed statue of the queen, their eyes wide, frozen in place, unable to react for a long time.
It's unclear whether they were shocked by the destruction of the Queen's statue or by the power of the thunder cannon.
Or perhaps they were shocked by the weapon's sudden appearance.
Yu Rong pursed his lips almost imperceptibly, then raised them slightly.
Shocking, isn't it? That's a pretty good reaction.
Anle glanced at the two horrified and dumbfounded people, then looked out the latticed window at the large number of soldiers below who had been alerted and had surrounded the stone statue. She then softly parted her lips.
"How about it? My weapon should be pretty good against those mortal soldiers of the Kingdom of Kro, right?"
"...You?" The king opened his mouth, speechless with shock. He was completely confused and didn't know what to say.
It was the chief guard who reacted first. He had originally intended to hold a knife to their throats to deal with them, but now his attitude changed drastically. His face stiffened, he coughed with his fist to his lips, unsure of how to treat them, and could only remind the king first.
"Your Majesty—"
Having witnessed this scene, it's definitely not feasible to arrest them now; the display of power should not be underestimated.
The king's eyes flickered, and he came to his senses.
"Two esteemed gentlemen, I was very rude just now. I was blind to your abilities. Please forgive me."
The king raised his hand to his chest and bowed to Anle and Yurong with the highest level of hospitality, his attitude completely opposite to before.
Anle sneered.
"Is His Majesty still going to take the two of us away now?"
King Islay blushed with embarrassment.
"As the wise man said, I was just being presumptuous."
Anle's expression softened slightly, and she got back to the main topic.
"I won't waste time with pleasantries and will get straight to the point: this batch of weapons can be used by your Islaile Kingdom to deal with the Klo Kingdom."
No matter how large the manpower or military strength, it will be blasted into dust by this weapon. He glanced at the fine longsword made in the Kingdom of Kro in the captain of the guard's hand and scoffed disdainfully.
"This broken knife was no exception; it was also blasted into scrap metal."
King Islair stared intently at the thunder cannon before him, a weapon of immense destructive power.
It is absolutely unmatched in terms of military strength.
How did this little girl manage to get that weapon into his palace in the blink of an eye?
It seemed to appear out of thin air.
He opened his mouth, about to ask a question, when a knock came from the palace door.
"Your Majesty, I have important news to report—"
King Islay swallowed back the question that was about to come out, glanced at the palace door, and said, "Come in."
A guard rushed in and reported, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Queen's statue has been destroyed by an unknown force, and that force is moving from the direction of Your Majesty's palace—"
The king interrupted the guard's report, glancing involuntarily at the culprit beside him. "Alright, I understand. Go."
The guard nodded, puzzled, and prepared to leave.
As if remembering something, the king said to the departing guards, "This matter need not be publicized. As for the Queen's statue, we can simply find a few more sculptors to recarve it."
