The setting sun is completely swallowed up by the distant horizon, and the whole world gradually dims.

As the last glimmer of light faded into the sky, bursts of fire lit up the gloomy arena again!

"Bang.....!"

Revolver! The biggest advantage is that it won't get stuck, and it belongs to a weapon with a high upper limit and a low lower limit, so if you use it well, it will be very ornamental! It's like the body of a gun in the west to punish rape and eliminate evil!

If it's bad...

It will be like a newborn weak chicken cowboy, only to be beaten! Laughed at by everyone!

It's just that this time, Steve got rid of the weak chicken hat that was buckled on his head!

Compared to the imaginary situation where he didn't hit after shooting for a long time, he fired six shots in a row, and each shot hit the target!

"Whew... The trial is complete! There are three more maggots missing from this world! ”

Emptying the magazine, Steve still learned the plot, blew a puff of smoke from the muzzle, and said the specified line...

The Administrator not far away thought there would be a bloody battle! After all, Steve didn't carry weapons like those in Ted's hand! If you want to defeat the enemy, you can only rely on 'skill' to fight hard!

It's just that insight limits imagination, and the devil knows that a weapon as big as a slap can kill an outlaw fanatic in seconds!

So, he could only raise the banner and declare with some shock and some disbelief: "Winner! Steve! Successfully challenge 3 A-rank outlaws! ”

...

On the stage, a nobleman who did not stand in line took out his drawing board, and then the light from the torches on the side, tried to reproduce the scene just now...

"Clothes don't poke needles! It's a new fashion! ”

Seeing this, Ted didn't say much, because although there were not many nobles who didn't stand in line, there were still them!

It's not because they don't stand in line, but because their strength is too weak, no one wants them, so they can only arrive at the scene and exchange their hospitality for the 'favor' of a certain prince...

Such a goal was not originally considered by Ted, but their land was still very useful, after all, no one knew what was buried in the ground, if there was oil... Or metal mines... Then it becomes a wise choice to recruit them in advance!

Even if there are no mines, the land can be used for grazing to increase meat production!

So, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal! Under their own 'kind' management, they will not dare to rebel!

If there is an intention to rebel, Ted will definitely be the first to know, and when the time comes, as long as the 'pro-North faction' gives a little 'special' humanitarian aid, they will solve it themselves!

When the time comes, 100% control of this nobleman will be more convenient for the next development!

...

Emperor Lester was not overly shocked to see the howitzer and bazooka in Ted's hand, because the kind of weapon with wide area of damage is very conspicuous and can be stopped!

It's just that... The palm-sized weapon in Steve's hand is not only easy to hide, but also amazingly powerful!

If this thing is equipped on a large scale, the aristocratic advantage of nearly 10,000 years will collapse in an instant.

Even a beggar on the street can beat a knight who has been training for 20 years!

No matter what class of nobles or who, if you take such a shot, even if you don't die, you will lose your ability to act for a long time...

"Hmm... It seems that the empire has to ban these things...! ”

When a ruler sees something new, the first thing he does is not to pay attention to the convenience it brings, but to whether it will harm his own interests.

Large weapons can be seen to keep them away from their own imperial capital, and let the soldiers use them as cannon fodder to protect themselves! At least that's what he thought, because Lester didn't know the range of the thing, and thought it was close.

But what Steve has in his hands... Small and deadly! It's the last thing he wants! If someone hides him and uses it to assassinate him! The consequences are unimaginable!

"Not only do you have to ban it, you have to search your body! Well! Right! ”

...

The duel is over, and according to tradition, everyone will definitely go to the dinner, led by the emperor, and then play and dance...

But Ted and Steve have something else to do!

That was the first military 'aid' order that he ushered in...

Help the second prince eradicate the enemies at the mouth of the sea, create fishing revenue for them, and by the way, let him collect pearls, corals and other luxury goods on the bottom of the sea!

This time, the cost was 100,000 gold coins, and the price was just casually said, because gold coins were not worth much in the north, only a little more expensive than iron...

The main purpose... By the way, the second prince of the empire, who is the most warlike, has 'respect' for himself!

A smart man like him, knowing the gap between strengths, will definitely open the way for himself.

If tomorrow's first foreign military operation can be carried out smoothly, there will be fewer troubles in the future.

If the second prince doesn't know the current affairs and forcibly fails to pay the final payment, he will shout with himself...

The quarries in the North don't mind having one more person.

Ted's move is for the future of the empire! Reduce the avoidable casualties of unnecessary conflicts!

Death of a prince is for the sake of the overall situation!

...

When Steve found Ted and Galen, Ted pulled out the walkie-talkie, "This is Ted, where is the transport plane I called?" ”

"Oh? Sir? Transport... I'm Kangkang... It's about 15 minutes away from Dehrim, and you'll land in a newly opened space outside the city! In order for our pilots to spot you first, it's best to mark it with some road flares or high-end glow sticks! ”

"I see! Then I'll go that way now... That's right! Over at the airport, don't forget to send a National Guard, we're here... An outsider will go with him, and you have to watch him and don't let him run around..."

"Yes! Sir! ”

After doing this, Ted temporarily requisitioned the unused off-road delivery vehicle in his shop, and took the royal token all the way to the open space outside the city.

At this moment, it is already dark, and in this dark time, it is time to sleep!

Because I can't see my fingers! Only the nobility and royalty had enough money to light lamps and torches to keep them entertained.

It's just that... These two things have great safety risks, if they don't do it, they will set the wooden houses on fire, and they don't have corresponding fire protection measures, so it's easy to burn down the whole city because of a little accident...

The newly built palace is only twenty years old, because every once in a while, some nobleman who has drunk too much accidentally knocks over a candle...

But they didn't mind, because the emperor thought it was their honor for the untouchables to build a palace for everyone! Even if you are tired to death, you will glorify your ancestors.

...

For the sake of lighting, the vehicle did not turn off.

As the second prince of the 'turtle', when he saw the headlights, an inexplicable sense of pleasure came to his heart.

"It's a nice thing, huh... No taste! And it's bright! I just don't know how long it can burn? ”

At this time, the driver of the car came over and patiently explained to the second prince: "Back to Your Highness, this thing is called an electric lamp, and the one in front of you is called a car headlight, as long as there is electricity, you can use it until it is scrapped!" ”

"Oh? What is that electricity..."

He knows lights and goods very well, but things like electricity have touched his blind spot in knowledge... Even if you make it up, you don't know how to make it up...

"It's... Your Highness, I don't know, I just know that this thing is very convenient, it doesn't have to burn wood, and it can ignore most environmental factors... As for the specific... Mr. Earl Hellington knows best... Because he is the holder of the patent..."

"Huh? Ted, you're still doing this stuff? ”

"It's funny, Second Prince, this is just a name made out of frivolity, it's not worth mentioning!"

Just as the second prince was about to continue asking, the roar of an airplane engine suddenly came from the sky...

"Call Chief Ted, we've reached the skies above Dehrim and have roughly found your location, but some lights are needed to land..."

"No problem, I'm ready!"

As he spoke, Ted motioned to the people who followed, and in a straight line, broke the powerful glow stick in his hand and threw it at the target location.

As a portable light source, this thing is not quite the same as the regular light stick, this time the powerful version used for lighting, the aging is only ten minutes, and the food will stop after ten minutes, which is completely different from the kind of light stick that focuses on the lighting time.

"Sir, I saw it, and this is landing!"

What was originally intended to be a low-key itinerary is now executed in the exact opposite way! So Steve sneaked up next to Ted and whispered, "Ted, you're very high-profile now, can I take more showers?" Keeping it clean? ”

"Of course, it's just that you have to live with your wife and son for a while..."

"You got it back?"

"Yes, after they had their health checked, they stayed in the reception hotel provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs... It's just that there is bad news, that is, your wife's physical condition is a little not very good, according to the description, there have been intermittent epilepsy recently, there are certain cognitive disorders, your son's condition is not very stable, the high fever has not gone away for half a month, even if it is our medical means, there is nothing we can do now, the chief doctor of the North Territory Doucott said, at most only two months to live..."

"It's... Ay... Leave it to God..."

Although he said so, in fact, his heart had already blossomed!

But in addition to the excitement, there is also some bitterness.

This marriage was a political marriage, imprisoning Steve, an honest man...

Now, this chain is about to be broken, and it should be time to celebrate, but after all, it is his first woman and first child, even if his appearance is difficult to speak, but there is still family affection...

"Ted, when the time comes, let me keep them company..."

"No problem, I've already told 'her', don't worry, it's only two months, during this time, someone will take good care of them..."

"Thank you..."

Three minutes later, a plane slowly descended along the marked light source and came to a precise stop in front of Ted.

The accompanying escort planes were still hovering overhead, escorting the flight.

I thought that the second prince would be surprised by what he saw and heard, but he didn't show anything, he seemed to be very calm, like a nouveau riche who forcibly showed a literate appearance when he saw the aristocratic shell lang.

"Second prince, please..."

"Good..."

As soon as the words fell, Galen collapsed in shock and forgot which leg to take first...

"Damn!"

"Your Highness, are you alright? Do we need our help? ”

"No... I'm okay... The butt I was sitting on just now was a little numb...", he pretended to be calm, and followed Steve's appearance when he entered the cabin, and came inside.

After Joseph went in, Ted came to the front of the car and took out a few gold coins to pay for the rental car: "It's okay!" We're going to take off, and that's the cost this time..."

"Sir, it doesn't have to be so, you are our boss... How can I collect your money? ”

As one of the richest people in the world, you should minimize external 'emotional debts', especially your own employees, and you can only owe others to yourself, and you must not owe others: "Then... Assume it a tip for you! ”

If the driver refuses again, it will be a little uncomfortable, so he accepted the huge tip: "This... Thank you, sir... Have a nice trip..."

"Well... Lend you auspicious words! ”

Even if he is an ordinary citizen, Ted will not rely on his identity to oppress him, but will talk harmoniously with everyone as an old man.

And this behavior will be spread by this person to his own store, and then it will be spread to ten or hundred, or it won't be long before Ted's behavior will be known to everyone in the imperial capital~

This is also an indispensable part of the face project, and the hearts of the people that can be bought with money can be bought as much as you can!

...

Inside the cabin, the pilot turned on the lights to get all the passengers ready!

"Passengers, fasten your seat belts, wear noise-canceling headphones, there is a microphone on the right side of the headphones, press the right ear to talk to us!"

"Right now, we're warming up, and we'll take off in about three minutes, and the lights in the cabin will be turned off!"

In the dark night, enjoying the lights is what human beings yearn for, and the second prince doesn't know why he wants to turn off the lights? "Close? Isn't that invisible? ”

The pilot turned to look at the stranger, who was dressed in a big attire, and immediately understood what was going on... So he made up a random reason: "If you keep the lights on all the time, it will take a lot of electricity..."

As a matter of fact... It's not because the lights are turned off because of electricity, it's just that the pilots don't bother to explain!

After all, if you want a person who lives in a dark period to understand some scientific truths, it is better to fool the past first! Let him learn slowly on his own afterwards...

"The surface temperature is 32 degrees, the wind is level 3, the pressure is normal, we are about to take off, and the destination is the city of Valentine in the north..."

After the broadcast, it was time to take off, and the pilots turned off the lights and followed the course towards Valentine.

At the same time, Ted receives a message from Thomas, listening to a loud voice, and it seems that John is also inside...

"Oh~ My dear lord, I heard that we received a big order, right?"

"Oh? Thomas, you already know? ”

"Hehehe, of course, because we have some weapons that don't have experimental data, and we need your help?"

Hearing this, it means that the R&D department has something new: "Oh? What kind of weapon? Need you to call me in person with John? ”

"My lord! It's me! John~! I added a 105mm howitzer to the newly made aircraft, plus two Vulcan cannons! ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this configuration, Ted is a little familiar...

Put it on the plane, and use this kind of thing, it is most likely the AC-130 changed from the C-130 transport plane, which is commonly known as the air gunboat in the game.

This thing is used to bully small countries, it's a must!

"C-130 transport aircraft? Didn't use it as a transport plane? Directly changed to a gunboat? ”

"Yes, my lord, because the transport plane or something, the benefits are not large, and it is in line with the priority regulations to change the newly built transport vehicles into weapons!"

"That's... Is this plane safe? ”

Hearing the safety, Thomas on the other end was anxious, and he took over the topic and explained anxiously: "Look at what you said... Security: We've tested it! It's just that some actual combat data is missing! So..."

"Ok, I see! Tomorrow I'll be on this plane with Steve to receive the experimental data! ”

"No problem! My lord! That's right... If Joseph comes back, it's better to let him be the captain! He is better at driving than anyone else! ”

"He's back... Just let him do it! ”

As he spoke, Joseph lifted the stealth camouflage, and the walkie-talkie handed by Ted responded: "We just took off, and it won't be long before we get home!" ”

"Then I'll wait for you!"

...

Observing through the light, the second prince Galen only felt that something seemed to appear in front of him, but he didn't know what it was...

"That's it! Let's go home, and talk slowly! ”

"No problem, sir! We will make the final investigation and preparation at the airport, and you are welcome to come and check at any time! ”

"As soon as I get off the plane, I'll rush over there immediately~"

...
