Chapter Eighty-four: Prepare for Battle! Prepare for Battle!

  The time for breakfast passed quickly, and Lilith, Vivian, and Emily all went to the office. At this time, some documents from the city had already been sent over, requiring them to integrate and process in a timely manner. As for Mo Yan's work, it was in the afternoon, at which time Lilith would compile yesterday's situation into a report and send it to Mo Yan for review and processing.

  So in the morning, Mo Yan is usually very idle, but today he needs to deal with some things. Yesterday, Aruba was knocked unconscious by him, but the matter has not been resolved. Mo Yan plans to take advantage of this morning's time to go to Aruba's home and have a talk with him.

  When Mo Yan brought the bored Jones to Aruba's home, he found that Sula was already there. Because Mo Yan had a demon guarding Aruba's house, he was negotiating with the corner demon outside the door and hurriedly came forward to explain his intention when he saw Mo Yan arrive.

  "Let me talk to that child," Sura said. "Although the child is a bit stubborn, I think if you can explain the reason, he will still understand your meaning. After all, this is just a fake show, and you also said that after everything ends, you will dissolve the marriage. And Raytheon Cliff joining the opposition to the Congress of the City, can accelerate Azera's destruction and liberation of the Congress of the City, I think Aruba also hopes that Elan can calm down as soon as possible."

  "Let's go in together." Mo Yan nodded and smiled, "If you say so, I think Aruba should be more willing to listen, and I didn't mean to blame him. Anyone would have trouble accepting such a sudden thing, let alone Emily being Aruba's only sister." After talking with Sula, Mo Yan entered Aruba's home with him, but at this time, Aruba was still lying on the carpet in the living room without waking up.

  "It seems that I was a bit too heavy-handed yesterday." Mo Yan looked at Aruba, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said to Sula with some embarrassment: "The armor is too thick and heavy, and I couldn't control my strength well. I'll go check if there's water in the kitchen, this is the only way to wake him up now."

  Mo Yan fetched some water from the kitchen in a wooden bowl and splashed it onto Aruba's face. Due to the stimulation of the water, Aruba slowly woke up. However, after seeing the cow head in front of him clearly, a ferocious expression immediately appeared on his face, and he jumped up towards Mo Yan, grabbing his neck with his hands and roaring loudly.

  "Let go, Aruba! The wedding was over last night!" Sula was startled by Aruba's actions, but after reacting immediately rushed forward to pull him away from Mo Yan, shouting: "It's already the second day now, even if you object now it's useless."

  "Yes." Mo Yan grabbed Jones, who was trying to pull Aruba down, and calmly looked at Aruba, who was pinching his own neck, saying: "As Sula said, your opposition is now useless. Emily moved into my place last night."

  "You beast!" Mo Yan's words did not stop Aruba, but instead made his eyes even more crimson. He continued to punch Mo Yan's head with his fists, regardless of whether his own fists were already bloody. In his mind, he kept repeating Mo Yan's words, Emily's miserable cries and the unbearable scenes that appeared in his brain. A voice roared in his mind: "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

  Those imagined scenes and sounds made Aruba's heart feel like it was being cut by a knife, and the anger in his heart could not be alleviated even if he devoured the demon in front of him.

  "Aruba! The marriage is a fake!" Sula shouted loudly: "Emily just moved into his house, nothing happened between them. It's all just a show for others, just to let Thunder Cliff participate in the internal affairs of the Salt people!"

  "What?" Aruba slammed his fist again and finally stopped, looking at Sura in disbelief and asked: "Everything is fake? So Emily wasn't humiliated by this monster after all? Everything was just for show?"

  "Yes." Mo Yan saw that Aruba was not venting, and finally pulled down the Aruba riding on him and said: "In order to enable Thunder Cliff to have a say in Eran, joining the Sart people and marrying into the Sart people is the fastest way. Originally my plan was to find other people in the city, but Emily volunteered to play such a role, I didn't do anything to her."

  Aruba heard Mo Yan's words, looked at his face, and then looked at Su La's expression. After confirming that everything was as they said, he looked at Mo Yan who had blood all over his head and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was a bit too impulsive just now."

  "It doesn't matter." Mo Yan washed the blood off his face with water and said, "Let you vent a bit too. After all, I didn't explain clearly to you at the beginning that this was my fault. I didn't expect you to rush back from the expeditionary force in Sanfei, and the invitation letter was only sent to the village of Kabinda as a mere formality. Moreover, these blood are yours, I don't feel any pain."

  After Mo Yan and Aruba's detailed explanation, Aruba finally understood the reason behind their actions. At noon, Emily also returned home and explained everything to Aruba face-to-face. Although Aruba was also worried about Emily's future, just like Sula, she didn't say anything in the end.

  As Mo Yan said at the end, if a man really loves Emily, he won't mind about this matter. After all, nothing actually happened, did it? If that man is concerned even with just a ceremonial issue, then it can only be said that what he loves is not Emily herself.

  All the problems have been solved now, and Thunder Cliff has a formal reason to intervene in the Elantris people. Next is the tense preparation for war. After the last battle with the Council City, Thunder Cliff discovered that it had no strategic reserves, so while selling weapons, it also forged many things for itself.

  After Mo Yan got the black gunpowder from the gray dwarf, he didn't just make the Su Fa guns and the throwing explosive packets used by the human-faced birds. A weapon that shone brightly in the era of great navigation was also manufactured - cannons cast with steel.

  Due to the technical and productive limitations of Thunder Bluff at present, Thunder Bluff only produced primitive firearms with pre-loaded ammunition, but this is a major improvement for the Hill Continent compared to cumbersome catapults. The cannons installed with wooden column wheels can move quickly under the traction of two oxen.

  And in terms of accuracy, it is much more accurate than the catapult. After using those genius dwarf people who were inspired by Mo Yan to invent explosive shells, the power of a single cannon has already exceeded that of four catapults. These things were originally intended to be installed on ships, but since the ships were hijacked by pirates, they can only be temporarily stored in warehouses.

  Now that the Thunder Cliff is about to end this battle in Erland, the six cannons stored in the warehouse can also be put to use. And after Rizz watched the gray dwarf's cannon fire, while marveling at its power, he also expressed his own opinion, if there were magical materials, he would add some extra power to this weapon, making it more lightweight and accurate.

  Mo Yan's idea also stimulated his inspiration, following the principle of such a weapon. If only magic is used, then the power will be even more enormous. The magical spirits that exist at all times on the Hilde continent can burst out with incredible force under special spell arrays, far surpassing the power of black gunpowder.

  This made Mo Yan, who was immersed in the creation of technology, realize that his idea had deviated from the beginning. He had always planned to use his own strength and knowledge in his mind to develop technology step by step, but he completely ignored the magical powers on the Hill continent.

  In the continent of Xille, mages are not just about casting fireballs for attacks like in games. Here, mages exist as researchers and alchemists who specialize in crafting magical items are experts in these areas.

  Implementing one's ideas with magic is far faster than relying solely on technology, after all, magical powers have been developing in the Hilt continent for so long that there must be many places worth learning from. Some of the powers that are currently not available in Thunder Ridge can be easily solved if magic is used.

  "Are you going to upgrade the cannon with magic?" Mo Yan asked after hearing Ritz's words: "Then what do you need to complete your plan?"

  "Hmm... the Eagle Eye formation requires magic crystals, magical stones, Smuon mineral liquid and so on. Adding the Light Feather formation would cost around 1,000 gold coins." Riesz thought for a moment and estimated a rough number, saying: "If we make it more carefully, I think we can compress it to around 900 gold coins. After all, I'm not a professional in this field, just have some superficial knowledge. If it were a professional alchemist who specializes in making formations, they should be able to reduce the cost to around 800."

  "Then you might as well not have asked." Mo Yan smiled wryly at Ritz's words. At this price, it would be fine if they only made one cannon, but six or seven? With the current financial situation of Leiting Cliff, it was unsustainable.
