Chapter 230: Further

"Collapse, collapse, collapse!"

Sean opened his mouth and didn't make any sound, but there was a loud sound of the ground collapsing and cracking on the other side.

That section of the cliff, which was more than 30 meters high, was like a soft cheese, disintegrating and collapsing.

Lyric!

Except for Sean's mount, which was not startled when he stepped on the fire and did not even raise his head, the other horses were frightened to varying degrees, raising their hooves and screaming.

Fortunately, the knights present were all experienced in battle, and their reflexes were even more one by one, and they each made strange moves, and they quickly pacified their mounts.

However, the mixed shock and horror on his face could not be concealed.

They were frightened, and they are still not completely sure whether the scene that just happened was Tianwei or man-made.

If it was the latter, it would be too terrible, and even those champion knights would not have the confidence to resist such a heavenly attack.

From beginning to end, Princess Regent Sophia, who was not shocked, as if the sky would not change color when the sky fell, in just a dozen seconds, her face changed several times, pale, blue, and finally fixed on a slight flush.

In just a dozen seconds, she thought of a lot of things.

It is not only the feasibility of the re-flow of the Jacob River, but also the impact that the use of this kind of thing will have on the world.

The mode of war, I am afraid that it will change dramatically, especially in terms of siege, many myths of castles that are claimed to be impregnable and cannot be attacked from the outside are only afraid of being bombed to pieces.

It has to be said that there is a huge difference in the way Sophia and Sean think.

When Sophia saw the power of black powder, the first thing that came to mind was the use of military affairs.

And Sean is thinking more about how to use it in the construction of people's livelihood, with its help to open the stone and build the road is much simpler, even this test explosion is not purely for the regent Princess Sophia to see, but the main road to the northern fortress is being built here, and the small hill that has just been blasted will be leveled, and it can be connected to another valley, and there will be a smooth road within thirty kilometers.

The emergence of such differences is not only related to the life experiences of both parties, but also inseparable from the personalities.

At this moment, Sophia was sincerely glad, glad that she didn't beat Sean out as a madman and a liar, and she was glad that she had secretly sent out the Eternal Night Army this time.

It is precisely because of this series of causes that the power of black powder can be seen in the way it is now, not on the battlefield.

After the shock, Sophia didn't say anything, just looked at Sean quietly, because she knew that since the other party unveiled this hole card in front of her, she must have made all preparations, including explanations.

"This thing is called the wrath of the mountain god, originated from the alchemy secret art of the ancient Andis Empire, at that time it was mostly used to make alchemy bombs and mining, after a series of restoration and improvement, they have stabilized, although not as powerful as recorded in the ancient books, if the number is enough, it can still exert the power of destroying the world. ”

Sean waited four or five minutes for them to calm down from the shock and shock before he could explain.

He knows very well what kind of impact this kind of human power will have on a person.

It can easily crush a person's self-confidence and faith, such as Ban Hebrew, it was the explosion of the ice city that made him fundamentally change his attitude towards the Eternal Night Army, and no longer tried to make small moves in the middle, otherwise the merger and merger of the Walled City Alliance would not be so smooth.

Of course, when Ben Hebrew secretly went to observe the attack and defense of Ice City, he thought that he was doing secretly, but in fact, from beginning to end, there were people from the Eternal Night Army who induced him to see it and deliberately let him see it, so as to achieve the purpose of breaking his last psychological defense.

It can also build the self-confidence of the forces, since the successful explosion of the black powder, the top brass of the Eternal Night Army who know about it has always had a self-confidence that they did not have before, not only the confidence in the re-flow of the Jacob River, but also the confidence in the rise of the Eternal Night Army.

Sean's prevarication of black powder to the Ancient Andes Empire was not pure inertia, but as the Ancient Andis Empire collected more and more information, the whole picture of the empire that shrouded this continent like a curtain background became more and more complete in his mind.

Due to the black technology of magic that has been piled up by them, the entire empire has developed seriously in a deformed manner, and the social form should be in the transition from slavery to feudalism.

The output of the entire empire is used to give back to the infrastructure of the empire is pitiful, and most of it is used for magic research, resulting in the entire social structure and living standards remaining the same for hundreds of years, and in the long run, even with absolute force, the whole society will enter violent turmoil.

The study of the original social situation was only incidental, and Sean was really interested in warlock creations similar to the soul beast card.

Although the Warlock Creations have not been found, there are more and more records of the Warlock's creations, not only all kinds of magic equipment similar to enchanted equipment, but also alchemy bombs that can cause various explosive effects.

Because there is no record of the recipe and the actual object, the explosion principle of these alchemy bombs is not different from that of black powder, but it does not prevent Sean from using their name.

This can be seen from Sophia's performance, from beginning to end, the shock she showed was within the controllable range, and it was obvious that similar descriptions had been seen in other sources.

It's just that I haven't seen the real thing, and I didn't expect someone to be able to imitate it, and I didn't question Sean's explanation in the slightest.

With a long exhale, Sophia regained her initial calmness: "Since Your Excellency General has the wrath of the mountain god in her hands, then there is no need to go to the barrage, I think our cooperation can go further." ”

Of course, Sean knew what Sophielia had in mind, so he directly blocked the road and said: "The production of the Mountain God's Wrath is limited, and now all of it is stored to prepare for the blasting of the barrage, and it will not be sold to the outside world." ”

Even if there is inventory, Sean is not ready to let this thing flow out of his hands easily, because he knows very well that this kind of thing is not difficult to imitate, especially the alchemy of this world is not to be underestimated.

Even if it is a detour, if you go far enough, the power that bursts out is quite terrifying.

Once it floods, it is not known what kind of impact it will have on Ashan.

However, even if it is covered, it may not be able to cover for a long time, there is no shortage of smart people in any world, and it may be difficult to find a feasible path from the thousands of possibilities, and it is accidental, after all, many times do not know what to want, let alone know a clear direction.

But with a direction, it will be much easier to target research.

The R&D department of the Eternal Night Army is the best example.

Not to mention far away, just say that after the regent Princess Sophia returns, she will inevitably devote a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct research in this area.

The Eternal Night Army was ready for Sophia to watch the on-the-ground blasting, and they didn't expect a permanent monopoly on black powder.

But before that, the most important thing is to accumulate more advantages and earn more benefits.

"There are no absolutes in anything, and if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. "Princess Regent Sophilia didn't take the lead and forced the Eternal Night Army to sell her black powder, which was not the way to cooperate in the long run.

As a good politician, it's important to take a long-term view.

Feng Shui takes turns, and when she takes the initiative, the Eternal Night Army will naturally obediently send black powder.

Sophia is confident in this, the Eternal Night Army has an unavoidable weakness, and this is the advantage she has.

"What a terrible woman. Sean smiled wryly in his heart.

Dealing with such savvy people is very comfortable in many cases, but sometimes it is really a headache, and it is difficult to take advantage of it.

The Eternal Night Army had just lifted a little curtain, and the other party could already guess the panorama hidden behind it.

Showing Sophia the hole card of black powder, the Eternal Night Army naturally has multiple considerations.

Boosting Sophia's confidence is only one aspect, the main thing for the Eternal Night Army is to increase its value in Sophia's eyes, so as to ensure that the purchase of food can be carried out smoothly after the resumption of the Jacob River.

Sean will not pin the safety of the Eternal Night Army on the thoughts of others, he has a trade in his hand that the other party cannot refuse, and it is the right way to let the other party take the initiative to trade with him.

However, judging from Sophia's performance just now, she has already gained insight into the plans of the Eternal Night Army.

This is more passive, and when the time comes, you may be bled by the other party!

As long as it doesn't go too far, the Eternal Night Army will have to pinch its nose and admit who makes what they are lacking now more deadly.

A field trial speaks louder than words.

Since then, Princess Regent Sophia has never questioned the re-flow of the Jacob River.

However, she did not change her itinerary for this reason, and stayed in the Eternal Night Army for two weeks as planned.

During this period, Sophia was of course not idle, but accompanied by Sean, she basically turned around the places where the Eternal Night Army could be opened to the outside world.

Obviously, the shock brought by the black powder blasting test to her was far stronger than it appeared, and she was making an assessment of the true strength of the Eternal Night Army hidden under the water, and to what extent the two sides could further cooperate.

Even though Amelia had already brought back an assessment of the Eternal Night's potential before secretly sending out the Eternal Night's Army, Sophia still didn't regard the Eternal Night Army as a close ally.

It hurts to put it bluntly, but it's true.

I want to be close.

It has to be attractive enough.

Sophilia has enough power and food to attract the Eternal Night Army.

The Eternal Night Army hadn't been enough to attract Sophia before, and ships and agreements to constrain the Kingsley family weren't enough.

Just like Sophia threatened the Eternal Night Army, she also has more options, which are nothing more than a matter of high price and low price.

And to restrain the Kingsley family, the Eternal Night Army wants to plot the Swamp of Despair, and the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, whether there is an agreement with Sophia or not, it is the same.

Black powder is only a rocker, and it is not enough to fully support the relationship between the two forces.

The Eternal Night Army is now a bit like a peacock on the screen, trying to show its most valuable side within its own bottom line.

Such as the Northern Fortress and the Energy Reaction Chamber, Sophia didn't even have a chance to get close to Baili, let alone the Institute of Biological Anomaly, and even the Medical Research Base, which was also a restricted-level opening, only let her see what the Eternal Night Army wanted her to see.

Rao is like this, when the regent princess and her party left, the relationship between the two sides also warmed up, and it was not a little bit closer, after all, there are not a lot of good things in the Eternal Night Army, even the well-informed princess regent is a little dizzying.

For example, the new paper that the Eternal Night Army has just baked.

In Sean's view, it is still a substandard product, not to mention the poor quality, the paper is either as thick as cowhide, or it is too thin, and the scratch paper of the previous life is a virtue, and it will be scratched and soaked in pen and ink if you are not careful.

Sophia was like a treasure, and when she left, she didn't care about the inconvenience caused by hiding her identity, and loaded a carriage alive.

Many of the things that the Eternal Night Army seems accustomed to may be rare to the outside world.

Now, not only is the Eternal Night Army desperately hoping that the Jacob River will be restored, and the food in the Princess Regent's army can be transported as soon as possible, but Sophia is also desperately hoping that the various unique commodities of the Eternal Night Army can be brought down the river as soon as possible.

And then there is the aforementioned princess Sophia, the regent, who is desperate and enters the full arena, taking a series of dazzling and incomprehensible measures.

There are lessons from the past of the liquidation of the Holy Aether Holy See, even if many of Sophia's current actions seem to be very brainless, no one dares to question and ridicule, on the contrary, they are racking their brains to find out if there is any unique intention hidden behind it, and there is something they can't see?

All kinds of spy intelligence agents, frequent activities.

Unfortunately, very few people know about the whole plan, and they are all Sophia's diehards.

Many of the people who implemented the plan below only knew a little bit about it, and even if the news was leaked, it was a leopard in the tube, and they couldn't figure out the direction at all.

After all, the Eternal Night Army took a lot of trouble to persuade Sophia with real evidence, let alone guessing by itself based on rare evidence, and there are only people in this world who are not as big as their brains.

However, there is no shortage of smart people in this world, and it doesn't matter if they can't understand Sophia's plans, it doesn't mean they can't follow suit.

Either she held on to the land that the princess regent wanted to buy and refused to sell it, or she spent a lot of money to grab the seemingly inconspicuous land, which caused some difficulties for Sophielia to integrate her land.

That's all.

Compared to those competitors, Sophia had an absolute information advantage, and before the project was launched, she had fully considered all kinds of possibilities, including the fact that they knew too well the virtues of those lords and nobles.

Therefore, in the purchase and merger action, the real and the false are mixed, and even those who implement the plan are not sure, let alone the opponents.

Most of the real acquisition plans had been completed secretly in private before the lords and nobles reacted.

Many of the things that are on the table are deliberately thrown out by Sophia in the later stage to attract the attention of those who are interested in it, if they really dare to compete with the princess regent on this, eighty percent will lose even the pants.

Sophia has never been a gentle person, especially when it comes to her enemies.

There is a faint rumor that Princess Regent's unusual behavior is closely related to the newly rising force in Andes Mountain.

Someone tried to start here, but unfortunately found that compared to Sophia's fiefdom, this is the real monolith, and the difficulty of blending in is quite high, not to mention, the spy detective worked hard to get in, but found that he entered a confined space, and there was no news to be delivered.

In this era of economic underdevelopment, the floating population is not as simple as scarcity, but rare, and many villages and towns do not see a single outsider for months or even years.

Spy sentinels, whether it is infiltration or information transmission, rely heavily on caravans.

However, the Eternal Night Army's external trade channels are all officially controlled officials and businessmen, and many of them are eagle eyes with special missions, and outsiders have no possibility of mixing in them.

As for the Hawkeye who rebelled against the Eternal Night Army, this difficulty is even higher.

Not to mention this unit, even in the Eternal Night Group Army, it is a unit with a high level of secrecy, and the personnel information in it is only in the hands of a very small number of people.

Not to mention digging out the eagle eyes that lurk deep and digging out the news from the mouths of these people of strong faith.

The difficulty is no longer a question of high or not, but an impossible task, at least not in the current situation.

The spy training methods of the Hawkeye Special Service of the Eternal Night Group Army, which are several eras beyond this era, are not blown out, but Acharn's use and methods of spies, which are far from improving.

In the end, he had no choice but to turn his head and continue to fight with the princess regent, even if there was a gap between them, it was visible to the naked eye, and there was still a few points of chance.
