Chapter 725 Gamble and Promise

The effect of the artillery drill was much better than Roland expected. update the fastest

As expected of a great miracle, in the last round of explosions, 70% of the total reserve of black powder was detonated underground in one breath, and the momentum caused was no less than that of roadside bombs of later generations. When the sub-package was buried, he had a whim and mixed some aluminum powder into the gunpowder. As a result, the light of the fireball became brighter. When it rushed out of the ground, it even had a bit of sunrise and dawn.

This explosion also basically announced the change of the first army's weapons from black powder to chemical gunpowder. As for the distance of the third-level sun, he could only imagine it in his head. Although the content of uranium in the earth's crust is not low, even higher than silver and gold, it is not difficult to collect uranium by decomposing granite a little by Lucia, but deadly radioactivity is always a thorny problem, and lead plates cannot Be foolproof.

Most importantly, he didn't know whether Nana could treat radiation sickness, that is, the distortion of the biological matrix caused by particle ionization.

Therefore, before the time of life and death, Roland did not plan to start the brilliant radiation, an epic mission no less than stealing divine fire.

After all, that thing is too dangerous.

After finalizing the meeting with the Taquila witches, he invited Tilly into the office.

Time to talk about the bet.

Poured her a cup of chaos drink, Roland cleared his throat, and said, "About the previous hunting competition..."

"Although Agatha is indeed a member of the Witch Union, it's not the Neverwinter team that won." Tilly seemed to have guessed Roland's thoughts long ago, her eyes bent into a crescent, "brother, this bet is only It can be called a tie. If you want to count Miss Ye Zi in the Neverwinter team, I will not admit it."

"Of course, this bet is indeed a draw, but I still want you to stay." Roland said frankly.

Such a straightforward statement made Tilly hesitate slightly, "Uh..."

"So it's a win-win situation, how about it?" It was the first time he saw the expression of Wu Wangnv who didn't know how to answer the conversation, and he had to say that he didn't have a feeling of endearment, "I took out 30% of the income of Chaos Drink. Set up a fund to reward those who have made contributions to Neverwinter, whether they are witches or ordinary people, they are all within the scope of rewards. And you settle down in Neverwinter, whether you live in the Witch Building or live with the migrants from Sleeping Island Together."

After talking about the business, Tilly quickly recovered from her daze. She pretended to be nonchalant and coughed twice, "Is it only 30%? It seems that we agreed at the beginning to be 50%."

"Because I estimated that even 30% would reach an astonishing value, and it would be enough to enjoy it as a bonus for a lifetime." Roland explained, "The rest of the money will be used for the construction of Neverwinter, including The witch’s residence and necessary facilities, as well as salary distribution. Generally speaking, they will be spent where they are most needed. If you need it, you can also draw it directly.”

"Even if you use up all the gold dragons you earned?"

"Of course, it's just taking up space in the warehouse," he said disapprovingly. Later, when the precious metal currency cannot keep up with the demand for productivity growth, credit currency will appear. At that time, money will become a simple number for the government, and it will be enough to print it out directly. It will be meaningless for him to collect money.

Tilly pursed her lips, "Sounds like a good exchange."

"That's why it's called a win-win situation," Roland asked slowly, "What do you think?"

She sighed and said, "Since you have talked about this kind of thing, brother, I can only agree." Although it seemed like a helpless answer, the undisguised smile at the corner of her eyes showed her mood .

Roland also couldn't help showing a smile. From the skepticism a year ago to the relaxed smile now, Tilly probably finally believes that he can bring a comfortable and stable life to witches.

"By the way," after chatting for a while, he changed the topic to the recovery plan of the extreme south, "I plan to bring the Sand People's territory under the rule of Graycastle this winter. Their customs and power succession methods are completely different from those of the Four Kingdoms. To take it whole, I need your help."

Then Roland recounted the laws of the sand people and the sacred duel ceremony.

"It's not a problem to let Ashes participate in the duel." Tilly pondered for a moment, "But why do you want to annex the desert land? Ever since Ashcastle was established, no ancestor has ever been interested in that barren land. "

"It just looks desolate there, the ground fire that has been burning for decades, and the salt crystals that stained the ground white, these are the proofs that there are buried treasures." Roland spread his hands, "If I'm not wrong, it's very The southern border will be the key to the next step of Neverwinter's development."

"In that case, I'll explain it to Ashes." Tilly didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded in response.

Now the trust between the two has been established little by little. In the foreseeable future, the Witch Union will be closely linked with the Sleeping Island Witch.

Thinking of this, Roland felt very relieved.

...

After sending his sister out of the office, he immediately called Hui Yin again.

The holy duel can only win him the right to speak, and cannot solve the problem once and for all. He doesn't need a clan quota living in Iron Sand City, but many sand people who can obey orders. For this reason, he must become the legendary chief.

Roland didn't have time to join the army, so it was necessary to choose a spokesperson.

As the princess of the Aosha clan, Echo is undoubtedly the key to subduing Mo Jinsha people.

"I don't know if Iron Ax has talked to you about returning to the extreme south," he said straight to the point. "This winter, the First Army will be stationed in Iron Sand City. I hope you can go there on my behalf."

"No...he didn't mention it to me," Echo seemed a little surprised, then bit his lips, and said with a sad expression, "Your Majesty, don't you want me?"

Roland was quite satisfied with the previous answer. It seems that Iron Ax also understood that the march was a secret of the kingdom, and he did not reveal it to the clansmen easily. However, the second half of the sentence made him almost choke on his saliva. Although he knew that the other party didn't mean that, it still sounded full of ambiguity. At the same time, he felt a cold breath coming from behind him, and Nightingale's hand had tightly grasped his shoulder, "Of course not, this is only temporary. When I become the great chief of the sand people, you can join me with the iron axe." Return to Neverwinter. Besides, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

After listening to his statement, Hui Yin relaxed, "I understand, but you want all the sand people to submit, I'm afraid you can't do it in a holy duel."

"Of course, I have other methods," Roland smiled, and slowly expressed his intention.

"This..." Hui Yin was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes, "Is this... really okay?"

"Of course, I'm the king of Graycastle, so it's fine if I say yes." He said word by word.

"By God, Shamin will never forget your gift." She no longer hesitated, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly bowed to him. "Huiyin is willing to complete this mission for you."

"Very good," Roland stood up and helped the Mojin woman who had gone through hardships, "Then I will leave it to you."

In this way, the preparations for subjugating the extreme southern region are all completed. rw
