"Your Highness, everything is ready as you said." The young sergeant ran back from the iron barrel a hundred meters away. In the open space, the thick iron barrel had been propped up at an angle with stones, facing a thick wooden stake. The iron ball that Bai Yan brought was also stuffed into the iron barrel.

"Gray, it's time to light the fire." Bai Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Knight Gray beside the fuse.

Hearing this, Gray nodded, and the next moment a small flame appeared out of thin air at his fingertips. As the flame touched the fuse, a spark flew along the fuse towards the iron barrel.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sparks. Even Alicia was infected by the tense atmosphere, her silver-purple eyes motionless.

The moment the spark ran to the iron bucket, a thunder sounded and the earth shook.

"Protect His Highness!"

"This is the roar of the gods!"

"High-level mages may not be able to cast explosion magic of this intensity, right?"

For a moment, the scene was a little chaotic.

The soldiers and blacksmiths were frightened by the thunder that came without warning. It was a sunny day and it was too strange for them.

Not only them, but even Alicia the silver dragon was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly. She clearly did not feel any change in the fire magic element in the air just now, which means that this is not magic!

Alicia looked at the young man next to her, her eyes full of curiosity. How did he perform this kind of "magic" without the help of magical elements?

"Come with me and take a look." Bai Yan didn't stop for long. He pulled Alicia over and trotted towards the location of his first cannon.

That's right, it can be called the world's first cannon.

"How dare you! You, you actually dare to desecrate my holy dragon body!" Alicia's heart was filled with shame and anger as Bai Yan held her hand. Although she had lived for more than a thousand years, her body had never been touched by any male creature. Her brain immediately froze and became confused.

She is just a girl over a thousand years old.

But Bai Yan could no longer receive any other information at this time. His mind was filled with the cannon in front of him. With it, he wouldn't have to worry about the eldest prince sending troops to kill him after the king died suddenly, nor would he have to worry about the various behemoths in the dark forest flattening the Black Iron Castle.

Just like that, Alicia, who was originally a legendary creature, was pulled by Bai Yan, who was powerless, to jog, and she looked a little clumsy, and even her steps were extremely uncoordinated.

"Hey, you, aren't you afraid that I will slap you to death?" Alicia followed Bai Yan all the way to the cannon barrel, her face turned red, and even the big fat tail behind her appeared out at some point, swaying under the maid outfit.

"Haha, do you believe it now?" Bai Yan looked at the slender cannon in front of him, stretched out his hand and patted it, and a scalding heat came over him, making him quickly withdraw his hand. The fanaticism in his eyes was like Cao Ze seeing a beautiful married woman.

"This power is not as destructive as my tail." Aisilia still did not show her inner surprise to the man. What she said was also a fact.

“Look at the power of this, human.

It's just a few broken wood stakes. My tail can smash all of them into pieces with one blow." Alicia said, lightly raising her head covered with silver hair, her tone was a little disdainful but seemed to be mixed with a slight tremor.

“But, it smashed such a thick wooden stake from 800 meters away, and it has infinite possibilities in the future.” Bai Yan laughed, seeming a little proud of Alicia's teasing.

A few wooden stakes were broken. How could the flesh and blood of carbon-based creatures resist such an iron ball with great kinetic energy? It would smash everything in front of it into pieces!

"Alicia, shouldn't you be happy for me?" Bai Yan looked straight at the dragon girl in front of him who was shaking her thick tail, and his black pupils seemed to light up with excitement.

Alicia was a little confused by his fiery gaze and nodded dazedly: "Well, I am actually a little happy for you, but this thing is definitely not as good as my Dragon Flame."

At this time, the blacksmith and the soldiers also recovered and came to Bai Yan. Looking at the wooden stakes that were broken by the impact, they looked at each other.

"Gray, tell me! How about using this thing to defend the Black Iron Castle?" Although Bai Yan knew that this thing was very powerful, this was a world with magic, although there were not many mages.

Gray looked at his own prince in front of him, and his feelings towards him rose to a higher level.

"Your Highness, this thing will make up for the gap between high-level combat power and ordinary soldiers. If it can be mass-produced, it will make Black Iron Castle an indestructible fortress!" Gray also felt a sense of pride in his heart. What an incredible thing his lord had created!

"Yes, its name is Cannon, or you can call it Truth.

From today on, you will be responsible for continuously improving this thing. The barrel already has cracks and must be made of fine iron so that it can withstand multiple gunpowder explosions.

And I want it to be bigger and go further.”

Bai Yan touched the crack on the barrel, turned around and faced the blacksmiths, which made the blacksmiths tremble in their hearts.

The young nobleman seemed dissatisfied with their work.

As if he could see the worry in the eyes of these strong men, Bai Yan tried his best to show a kind smile: "Don't worry, I won't punish you.

Moreover, you will be paid half a silver coin every day."

Hearing Bai Yan say this, all the blacksmiths showed unbelievable eyes: "Sir, is it half a silver coin?"

You have to know that as subjects of the noble territories, they are Bai Yan's private property and can be disposed of at will.

But now, this noble lord actually said that he would reward them. This was simply a great thing that would never happen in dreams.

"You heard me right. As a lord, I will make your life better. So, do your best, everyone." Bai Yan said as he pulled Alicia, whose tail was dragging on the ground, and walked towards the Black Iron Castle, leaving his back to everyone.

The men behind him knelt on the ground one after another and began to kowtow to Bai Yan.

If this morning they had to build the cannon just to complete the lord's task, now they did it for His Highness Bai Yan. A generous person will never lack followers.
