Chapter 134 Sophia's Joy (310)
Although Old Muka felt a little strange, he still led his men down. Even if there were conflicts between nobles, there was no need to use such means. Besides, the soldiers in his territory were on the high platform next to him.
At such a long distance, the other party could not attack him, but his people could cause a lot of casualties to the other party.
Old Muka walked to the front and saw that the other party had pulled a large number of trucks. The leader stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am Hogarth, a subordinate of Baron Farah. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, I am Muka, a subordinate of Hongshaling. You can call me Old Muka. Nice to meet you."
Old Muka knew his identity. He was no longer a subordinate of the Bailan family, but a subordinate of Hongshaling. Therefore, when introducing, he would not put the former Bailan family at the edge.
"These are compensations for the losses of your territory. This time it was actually a misunderstanding. Our master didn't see it clearly at the beginning and thought that this place was a no-man's land. We are really sorry for the misunderstanding caused by this. Now, the higher-ups have issued an order for us to make compensation. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Old Muka sneered in his heart. Is this what you call not seeing clearly? One of the three people died, the planted mouse grass was burned, and our flags were taken down. What else can be considered seeing clearly?
But Old Muka didn't say anything. Civilians have no say. Today they are just going through the motions. "So it's all misunderstandings. Then I'm relieved. Put the things down. I will notify my master."
Old Muka looked at the list and nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with it. Not only was there a one-time compensation of one thousand gold dragons, but there were also ten thousand iron ingots. But how to use these iron ingots? Their territory will not use them. Do they have to grind them into powder and let the iron bark tree absorb and reuse them? That would be a waste of time. There is no need for this at all.
Forget it, put it away first and wait for the Lord to come back. After the two of them exchanged some polite words, Hogarth left all the wagons, including the animals pulling the wagons, and left the place quickly with his men.
At this moment, Chi Nan was still walking slowly on the road. He was not in a hurry, but the nobles behind him were. A large number of letters were sent to the capital through various channels.
On the second day of the pneumatic cannon demonstration, a maid in the castle where Sophia lived delivered several letters to her room. Sophia waved her hand, asked people to leave, and left the letters.
"Sister, why did you receive so many letters at once?" Soya raised her little face and asked excitedly.
Sophia didn't know, so she could only shake her head. You know, they don't have too many supporters under their command. Generally speaking, the two of them are ignored and it is impossible to see a letter for a long time, not to mention that these are all sent from the border province of Remas. Sophia walked up and looked at the letter.
These letters were all written on parchment, and they were all in very special specifications. You can tell at a glance that some were sent by the earl and some were sent by the viscount. After all, the envelopes themselves have different specifications.
Different statuses have strict requirements for the specifications of the envelopes themselves.
"All of them were sent by Remas, and one was from the commander, Count Longgen. How did it get to me?"
Sophia knew that Count Longgen was from her eldest brother and had no connection with her. Isn't it strange that he rashly sent a letter to her, isn't he afraid of causing any misunderstanding?
Among all the letters present, only Count Longgen had the highest status, so Sophia picked it up directly. Opening the letter, while reading it, Sophia's face became more and more surprised, and finally turned into a smile.
"Sister, why are you smiling so happily? Is your future brother-in-law coming?"
Sophia tapped Soya on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are together every day. How could you not know whether your sister has found a boyfriend? This was sent from the front line."
"Oh." Soya covered her head and looked at her sister with tears in her eyes. This made Sophia couldn't help but rub Soya's face with both hands, with a doting look on her face.
"Sister, let go of my hand, it's about to break. Tell me what's going on and why you're so happy."
Sophira's smile became even brighter: "Remember when we canonized a half-elf? I didn't expect that guy to be so powerful. We really underestimated him. This time we got a big reward."
"What reward? Did he send someone to give a gift? But that's not right. Isn't this a letter from Count Longgen?"
Sophira nodded gently: "Yes, it's a letter from Count Longgen, but the things mentioned above are from Baron Chi Nan. Pea cannon, pneumatic cannon, I really didn't expect that Baron Chi Nan could do this."
Sophira felt that Chi Nan's ability to control plants was very powerful, but she never thought that Chi Nan's ability was so terrifying that he could actually manufacture weapons in large quantities through plants. Judging from the letter, these weapons have great lethality to the wild orcs and can even change the form of war.
In the absence of powerful mages and warriors, this kind of weapon can make an army invincible. But in the northern border area, you can still find a few official warriors, but there is no way you can find mages.
"What are pea cannons and pneumatic cannons? Are they very powerful?" Soya came up curiously.
Sophia nodded happily: "Of course they are very powerful. Isn't there detailed data here? The maximum range of the pea cannon is more than 300 meters, and the effective range is more than 100 meters. The power is equivalent to the ordinary attack of the Black Iron Warrior without using weapons. This kind of attack is also very deadly to the Black Iron Warrior."
"And this pneumatic cannon is even more powerful. Each attack is equivalent to an attack of the Black Iron Mage. The maximum range is more than 1,000 meters and the effective range is about 500 meters. The main reason is that it is not easy to aim beyond this distance."
"In a previous battle, three attacks of the pneumatic cannon killed a wild orc leader. That was at the Black Iron level, and the defense was very strong. The most important thing is that Baron Chi Nan actually gave the sales rights of the pneumatic cannon to me, my sister. Isn't this the best reward? With this right, at least no one else will dare to harm us in the future."
This is what makes Sophia happy the most. There is basically no need to think about competing for the throne. She just wants to leave a way out for herself. In this way, even if any accidents happen in the future, he and Soya can survive safely.
