The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

After the news that Aarons attacked the heir of Duke Booker in public but failed spread, public opinion in the border territory immediately underwent subtle changes.

The imagined scene of everyone unanimously supporting the great nobles did not appear. Instead, many people expressed sympathy for Aarons's experience, and some even took the initiative to contact the third prince, hoping to provide help to Aarons.

After a simple investigation and statistics, everyone realized that most of those who chose to support Aarons were honorary nobles without any backing and businessmen who had been oppressed by the great nobles.

"This is just sympathy. Today, the nobles dared to snatch the princess from me. If those people get any treasures tomorrow, they will probably be snatched away in the same way."

Aarons certainly welcomes honorary nobles to join him - what he lacks most now is manpower, and other things are of little importance.

However, if Aarons intends to get those who are still on the sidelines to take action, he must show them that he has strong enough resistance.

"Master, the Engineering Department has sent good news. The newly finalized carbon-uranium self-propelled artillery has been fully replaced with non-alchemical materials. Although the protection is still average, ordinary people can now drive and operate it."

"After that, I will go to Corps Commander Gemaier to discuss the deployment."

"But the craftsmen in the engineering department have asked me to ask you a question: why are the calibers of the shells deliberately limited to 152 and 203?"

What other reason could there be...of course it's romance!

“—It’s faith.”

Looking at Aarons' righteous words, the Aries beauty who came to report just sighed expressionlessly.

Because Aarons would say some weird things about his past life from time to time, she sighed more and more often.

"Then please go and explain it to the engineering department in person later."

Aarons was not worried about this little thing, because the heads of the engineering department had no objections and the craftsmen were just curious.

The supervisor has been locking himself in the laboratory these days, and no one knows what he is working on.

"In addition, I would like to report that due to the improvement of logistics efficiency, we now control the trade and transportation business of half of the border territory. Therefore, some people have recently tried to rob our trucks, but after the attack, the driver and the escort destroyed the alchemical engine in time, so the technology has not been leaked."

"The technology will be leaked sooner or later, so let's delay it as long as possible."

Aarons is actually not very satisfied with the current mode of transportation.

Due to the existence of special combat forces such as magicians and fighting spirit warriors, the safety of ground transportation cannot be effectively guaranteed.

The reason why the Iron Torrent cannot be replicated in this world is the same - each Dou Qi warrior is actually equivalent to a fully armed armored vehicle, and the magician is a light tank with missiles.

It is obviously not worth it to fight against such a super soldier with armor-piercing shells.

"By the way, is there any news about the Battle of Zhengrong?"

"Currently, all eleven cities have selected their city lords. Of course, they are all candidates with noble backgrounds."

"Very well, let these guys push those little nobles to my side."

This is indeed a good thing for Aarons.

After all, most of the honorary nobles who participated in the Battle of Glory were people with no background and would lose their noble status in another generation. Now they finally got a chance to turn things around, but it was snatched away by people who already had powerful backgrounds.

Even if Aarons did nothing, they would eventually choose to join their side.

"Okay, I have to go out and do some investigation. Who's free at home now?"

……

The person with the most free time in the family is of course Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Although no one would admit it, she had indeed become the nominal fiancé of the Duke's heir.

Because of such a sensitive identity, Claire no longer needs to receive nobles who come to seek refuge with her - after all, few people dare to be as bold as Aarons.

So she got lots of free time... and new toys.

“Oooohh ...

"Don't worry, husband, I'm sure everything will be fine!"

After the power engine began mass production, Jiangyue began to design a convertible off-road vehicle that was completely powered by carbon uranium.

Although Jiangyue originally intended to use this vehicle for rapid reconnaissance or equipment transportation, as soon as the prototype came off the production line, it immediately became Keliya's new toy.

So now, Aarons has once again become Her Royal Highness the Princess's driving tester.

"No no no I feel like I'm getting thrown out--"

"There won't be any problems with the safety belt designed by Teacher Jiangyue! And if you keep yelling, you might bite your tongue!"

Claire, who changed into a black sleeveless top, shorts, long boots and sunglasses, was obviously very satisfied with her new toy.

But Aarons, as a passenger, did not have such a good experience.

"Husband, what do you think of this place?"

"Wait a minute... I feel a little dizzy..."

Aarons, who was a little carsick because of Clya's brutal driving skills, took a long time to barely suppress the urge to vomit.

And when he finally returned to normal, he saw an endless wasteland.

"Most places in the border territories are like this. The lack of water makes it unsuitable for growing crops, but the terrain is very suitable for large-scale raids and battles."

"Tsk, how did my father take this place back from the Cadians?"

Aarons didn't know how the old marquis had fought off the Cadians on this uncovered plain, but now, this plain was about to become his weapons testing ground.

"This place is thirty kilometers away from the base, but it is actually closer to Moti City. Husband, do you think this place is suitable for testing our new weapons?"

"As long as we can lure that guy out, it should be no problem."

"The question is how to bring it up, right?"

Seeing Claire taking off her sunglasses and revealing a slightly charming smile, Aarons suddenly became nervous.

"Since they want Her Royal Highness, let Her Royal Highness lead them out herself."

"No... No! I won't let you again-"

"Husband, I've said this before. You don't have to bear so much responsibility alone. Our power exists for you to use."

Although Aarons had not yet fully recovered from what had happened before, he did not want to let down Cliya's kindness - so after hesitating for a while, he finally nodded reluctantly.

But then, he took the initiative to stretch out his hands and embraced Klia in his arms.

"When I'm ready...I will never let you get hurt."
