Chapter 90: Shameless Politician

  After the Allied forces occupied Lobito, the three legions, apart from preparing for military statistics and casualties, immediately sent letters to their respective cities introducing the new weapon of Thundercliff. These three letters can be said to be similar in content, which can be summarized as: the weapon is very powerful, I don't understand how that weapon was made, I want it, I want it, I want it, and the last part occupies about 80% of the letter.

  This is why Mo Yan's tent has been visited by envoys from twenty or thirty cities. The three forces have shown extremely high concern for the weapon that was described in detail, and even exaggeratedly, by each of the military commanders. Every city quickly organized an envoy to visit Mo Yan on the front lines after receiving the letter.

  And each city's delegation has a blacksmith in it, occupying a not small proportion, and most of them are good hands in the city. All cities want to get this technology, after all, according to the legion commander's letter, the weapon Thunder Cliff is not hidden, but directly placed outside.

  Everyone was thinking of letting their own craftsmen see it, maybe they could study and come up with something similar. When Mo Yan and the city officials were communicating, they also received news from the dwarves about the cannon being surrounded by onlookers, but Mo Yan didn't care about this. Because the current cannons are really too primitive, directly saying that it's just an iron tube isn't wrong either.

  The truly crucial gunpowder and explosive shells were being kept by the Dwarves like treasures. Even Mo Yan only knew the materials used to make gunpowder, but not the specific manufacturing process or proportions of ingredients. As an important bargaining chip for the Dwarves in Thundercliff, they would never publicly disclose such technology.

  Even the dwarves, who had fought against the dark dwarves for thousands of years, couldn't get that thing out of their mouths, let alone these surface-dwelling Salteans. When the envoy asked if they could provide such a weapon as a trade item, Mo Yan just looked at them and smiled without saying a word, causing most of the envoys to retreat in shame.

  There are also those with exceptionally thick skin, such as Ankude's messenger Hart, who is still arguing with Mo Yan. He made Mo Yan realize once again the extent to which politicians can be shameless. Moreover, he refreshed the bottom line of Sart's moral integrity in Mo Yan's heart, and even though Mo Yan repeatedly confirmed that he would not export such weapons, he couldn't withstand Hart's flattery.

  It was as if Mo Yan, in his eyes, was no longer a man-eating monster, but a brother who had been separated from him for many years. After all the other envoys left, he still lingered in the monster army camp outside the city, coming every day to chat with Mo Yan and inquire about his well-being, and even subtly proposed marrying his own sister to Mo Yan, although that sister was only twelve years old at the time.

  "My sister is a great beauty, she doesn't look as ugly as me." Hart came to Mo Yan's tent as usual and started introducing his sister after the courtesy greeting: "Although there is already a family in the city who has arranged a marriage for her, I don't think that young man is good enough. He can only rely on the power of his own family, but he himself doesn't have any talent. If he had even half of Mo Yan's ability as the castle owner, he wouldn't still be just a clerk."

  "But that's also something that can't be helped, right?" Emily's face still wore a smile, but the falseness in it was clearly visible. Hart's constant visits over the past few days had almost driven her to distraction: "No matter how you put it, we're two people who love each other, and both sets of parents have agreed to our relationship. Even as my brother, you don't have any grounds for objection, do you?"

  "Haha, that's what they say." Hart seemed to have not noticed Emily's expression on her face and continued to speak in a self-absorbed manner: "But as her brother, I still worry about her future if she marries such a man. Perhaps this lifetime will be like that too, who knows, the man's family might decline, and she'll have to suffer with them. It's better to find a better family, not only can they live better but also provide some help to our family."

  "I've had enough!" Emily could no longer tolerate Hart's shamelessness, and she didn't even want to maintain that fake smile anymore. Her face turned stern as she shouted at Hart: "You're the most shameless person I've ever seen! How can a Sault person like you exist? You only care about your own interests and put everything up for sale, including your own sister! You'd sell her off to a monster just to get a weapon!"

  "I agree with my wife's opinion." Mo Yan had endured several days of nagging, and while supporting Emily, he also casually mentioned the fact that he was already married, saying "Although Emily said some excessive things, I can only say that I'm not interested in little girls... roughly. And about the technical aspects of artillery, I will never betray them, this is what I have clearly expressed, please don't pretend you didn't hear it."

  "Ah, so this beauty is your wife, huh?" Hart said with a smile, not minding Mo Yan's refusal. "Indeed, she's young and beautiful. When I heard about your marriage in Ankude, I also wanted to attend as a representative, but unfortunately, that lucky guy won the chance instead, so I didn't have the honor of meeting you."

  "Didn't you hear what I said?!" Emily rushed to Hart's front, staring at his eyes and said: "You are not welcome here, no matter what you do, the artillery will never betray! You're just wasting everyone's time, with this spare time, you'd better go back and think about how to write your report!"

  "Marry my sister?" Hart laughed, looking at Emily and said: "I really don't know what you're talking about, when did I say that I would marry my sister to the lord? I was just chatting with him, having a beautiful sister to be proud of, as a brother sharing that joy with others is not wrong, is it?"

  "But that's exactly what you're implying!" Emily didn't buy Hart's smooth explanation and said bluntly, "Your words are clear enough for anyone to understand the underlying meaning. And don't pretend not to hear us, we've made it clear that we won't give you the cannons. If you continue like this, I'll have the guards escort you out."

  "Hmph...Hart slightly tilted his body, letting his head pass by Emily in front of him, and looked at Mo Yan sitting in the main seat: "The matter of Thunder Cliff should be Master City's decision, right? When did women have the qualifications to comment on these things? Men should let women know who is in charge, otherwise the future will be tough."

  "It seems that our views are different, at times her words are my words." Mo Yan expressed his unconditional support for Emily, saying: "As my wife, she still has a certain right to speak in some aspects. If my wife wants you to leave, I can only ask you to leave here. In the past few days, I think I have done everything that a host should do."

  "Fine." Hart shrugged somewhat helplessly and said, "Since I've already been hated, there's no point in me staying here either." Under Emily's angry gaze, Hart left the tent where Mo Yan lived, now he should go back to pack his luggage.

  "Thank you for supporting me." After Hart left, Emily let out a sigh and said to Mo Yan: "I also know I shouldn't interfere with these things, but he really makes me furious. I couldn't bear to face someone who would betray his own sister like that."

  "I'm also fed up with him." Mo Yan smiled and said, "It's just that I didn't dare to confront him because of An Kude's sake. You took the initiative to play this role, I should thank you instead. I think it's because of your cleverness that you noticed this point and stood out on your own initiative."

  "Ah...yes." Emily was slightly dazed, she couldn't say that she had been furious just because she heard that Hart was going to marry off his sister to Mo Yan, and that she had been thinking about this for days. It left her no time to think of anything else, but obviously this couldn't be said to Mo Yan. Now Mo Yan had given her a reason, so she simply confirmed it.

  After Emily left, Mo Yan thought for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind. He personally wrote a secret letter, sealed it with wax, and stamped it with his own seal. He handed it over to Regal, who had followed him out, and said: "You help me deliver this thing to Hart, do it secretly and don't let others notice."

  Regel nodded his head to understand the importance of the matter and walked out of Mo Yan's tent. Such a secret message transmission, he had done it countless times, so he understood the key points and did not immediately go to find Hart. Instead, he waited until Ankude's envoy team had left for some time after staying in the camp for some time, and then sent someone to catch up.

  "Indeed, just as I thought." Hart, who had already left Lobito a distance away, showed a pleasant smile after reading the secret letter in his hand and said to the SS soldier who handed him the letter: "I agree with what's written in the letter and hope to cooperate happily with Lord City. Also, please tell him that my sister is really beautiful."
