Chapter 231 The Excited Noble

"ignite!"

At one command, the Lion Soldiers lighted the lead ropes of the cast bronze cannons with torches.

The flame burned into the barrel of the gun along the rope, there was a muffled bang, the flame flickered, and a black shadow shot out.

All the noble lions were a little excited when they heard the muffled thunder of the cast copper cannon.

"Successful, successful again!"

The soldiers manipulating the artillery were more excited than the nobles, clenched their fists and punched the air hard.

The nobles were a little confused when they saw this. Didn’t the king have a successful test shot before? Why are these artillerymen as excited as if the first shot was successful.

As everyone knows, these artillerymen test-fired too many cast-iron cannons, and every time they fired a cannon, there was a danger of bombing.

Up to now, more than [-] lion people have died because of this, and it has become a regular high-risk occupation.

With so many deaths of their predecessors, the artillerymen are used to being afraid. What they are excited about is not the successful launch, but the success of not exploding.

In their view, not exploding the chamber is a successful test firing.

This reason is unknown to the noble lions. Only the lions with military power can understand the joy after the successful launch of the artillery.

About three seconds later, the shell hit the ground and bounced at a distance of about 400 meters, stirring up a small dust.

The cannonball hit the ground and bounced again, rolling slightly for a distance, raising small smoke and dust.

The nobles didn't know the power of cannonballs, nor had they experienced the power of Tomorrow City cannons, but they felt that the range of cast copper cannons far exceeded that of trebuchets.

"The sound of the cannon is very loud. It turns out that this is a cannon."

"I heard that the cannons bombarded the city wall, and it only takes a few shots to open the city wall."

"With the cannon, we can take over Tomorrow City no matter what, and we can even attack the Niutau Kingdom to fight back the breath we have swallowed this year."

The noble lions talked excitedly, and walked towards the point where the shells fell.

At the point where the shells landed, a small pit appeared in front of the orcs. It was not very deep, and the place where the shells rolled was not too far away.

There is no city wall as a test object here, so it is not clear how powerful the cannon is. Seeing this small pit, the nobles thought that the cannon should be considered a success.

In fact, the depth of the pit is twice as deep as that of the cannons in Tomorrow City. The reason for the gap is the ratio of gunpowder, which requires a lot of material testing to find the best ratio.

It is obviously impossible for Lionheart City to research the best ratio all at once. A layman doesn't know how to do it, and was successfully fooled by the old king's cast bronze cannon.

The old king had never seen the breech-loading smoothbore guns in Tomorrow City, so he thought that the cannons were like this, so he was naturally very happy.

"Everyone, I think we have the same position in defeating Tomorrow City, and it's time to talk about some resource allocation issues..."

The lions turned around and went back to the big conference room to discuss the distribution of benefits.

Tomorrow City is a big cake. It has a lot of minerals, a huge population, and advanced items such as cement, gunpowder, and machinery.

If the king wants to monopolize the things of Tomorrow City, the grand dukes who own private territories will definitely disagree.

Outside the palace, the cat-eared orcs had monitored them going to the training ground, and heard the sound of cannon test firing from a distance.

The assassins knew what the lions were up to without asking.

……

Tomorrow City, Cement Port.

Several large sailboats were parked on the shore, and the wooden planks connected the concrete shore and the deck of the ship. The orcs pushed the carts, and the wheels rolled.

"Shuizhu City Master, I hope we can cooperate happily."

"Happy cooperation, Tomorrow City Lord."

The dawn had just risen, illuminating the land and the fleet at the port. A bearded lion man shook hands with humans, and a group of people watched silently.

At the port, the orcs used trolleys to transport a thousand bags of cement to the fleet.

These cements are industrial products exported by Tomorrow City, and the export value is as high as one thousand gold dragons.

Don't underestimate the price, cement is an item with a price but no market, and there is no way to buy it elsewhere.

In order to get the cement, Earl Shuizhu paid some price, but he himself was a little confused, and he has not been sober since meeting Allen.

He didn't realize it until Earl Waterdrop returned to the ship and the fleet set off along the river, and the sea wind woke his face.

He quickly took out the city lord-level business contract with the red handprint on it, and glanced at the cooperation terms on the paper with a sullen face.

Clause [-], all merchants from Tomorrow City who conduct business in Shuizhu Port will be completely taxed.

Clause [-], Tomorrow City merchants will have a discount when purchasing land in Shuizhu Port, depending on the prosperity of the local area.

Paragraph 50, Shuizhu Port voluntarily donates a shipbuilding team of [-] people, which does not need to be returned to Shuizhu Port.

In addition to these, there are some scattered conditions. Generally speaking, Shuizhu Port is Party B, and Tomorrow City is Party A. Most of the benefits are given to Tomorrow City, and Shuizhu Port only gets some benefits that look good.

The earl's confidantes also recalled it at this time, and read the traps in the contract with the earl.

"My lord, is the contract we signed too unequal?"

The confidant lion finds that the terms of the contract are very unreasonable. The status of both parties is not equal. Party A takes as much interest as possible, but it is not too much. It is just the limit price that the city owner of Shuizhugang can bear.

If there are more, Shuizhugang will turn its face and deny anyone.

"Alan is a very business-minded human being, and every clause is stepped on the psychological limit that I can bear. It is hard to imagine what I was thinking during the negotiation, and I foolishly agreed."

Earl Shuizhu felt a little uncomfortable, and it was fine if he was slaughtered, so let's try to get more benefits.

But he, after three days in a blink of an eye, was looking at Marianne's thigh, and when he recovered, he was standing at the bow of the boat.

Speaking of Marianne, the earl became blurred again and his heart beat faster.

That thin white leg, the high-cut skirt, the cute armpits, the subtly open collarbone, the alluring red lips... Earl Shuizhu found himself in a daze, and actually liked that cat woman so much.

"No, I am also an earl with countless women, how can I be trapped by women."

He shook his head and began to think about Alan again.

During the negotiation, he had many chances to do something to Allen, but for some reason, he had no intention of doing it at all.

As a proud earl of the lion clan and one of the top leaders of the anti-lion faction, he certainly had the intention to kill Allen.

He even thought about killing Allen, liberating more than 1000 prisoners of war in the southern mines, and taking over the rights of Tomorrow City.

But Kong had an idea and didn't put in the practice, so he could only secretly regret it.

"I missed this time, and I don't think there will be a chance next time." The earl sighed regretfully, as if resigned to his fate.

……

At the same time, the eagle flew half a distance away from the Lionheart territory and arrived in Tomorrow City with a large number of letters.

"Ow!"

In the eyes of the eagle, Tomorrow City is quite recognizable. The white buildings are strictly arranged, and a main road runs through the agricultural area, construction area, residential area, office area, and industrial area. There is never enough work to do.
