Chapter 166
"These nobles really think they can flatten and twist me at will."
After receiving such a ridiculous news, Aarons immediately called all his family members over - except for Jiangyue who was doing experiments and couldn't get away, the other women soon came to the office.
After reading this informal notice in person, Claire sneered and tore the letter into pieces.
"Do you need me to kill that idiot, husband?"
"No, I plan to tease them first this time."
Cancelling the princess's original engagement and issuing an edict to order her to marry another person - this kind of thing that obviously damages the dignity of the royal family cannot be the emperor's intention.
And the nobles who have been eroding the royal power are obviously planning to use this opportunity to weaken the power of the royal family.
"They dare to do such an unethical thing, in the final analysis, they think I am incapable of resisting. If the engagement of Her Royal Highness is really tampered with, then His Majesty will also lose face."
The nobles' approach is actually quite simple and crude. They just want to create a fait accompli directly to make Aarons lose moral and public support.
- If the engagement person is really replaced, then no matter what he does next, it will be regarded as the struggle of a loser.
"So this is what I think - Claire will pretend to be sick for a few days and will not respond to any of their requests. And I will personally inquire about the situation and find a way to lure them into our attack range... and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."
For such an enemy, Aarons does not intend to show mercy at all.
"Xia Ye, how many self-propelled artillery do we have now?"
"There are a total of twelve that can operate normally. If all of them are rushed with alchemical materials, three more can be built within five days."
"That's enough. Use it this time first, and then slowly replace it with a mass-produced model."
After Aarons proposed "converting armored vehicles that cannot fight against fighting magic head-on into long-range artillery", the manufacturer immediately modified the design and produced self-propelled artillery based on large trucks.
Semi-fluid magic source stones will instantly release a very powerful spiritual power when they explode, so they have a strong lethality to fighting warriors and magicians.
However, it is a pity that if you want to trigger a spiritual power explosion that is enough to kill a warrior, the charge of each shell must be greater than ten kilograms.
- And this also means that the small-caliber kinetic weapons that Aarons has always been thinking about still cannot cause effective damage to the warriors in this world.
"Although it's a bit redundant for me to ask this, will it be dangerous for you to go and investigate the situation in person, Marquis?"
"Because other people are not familiar with the aristocratic circle of the empire, I plan to go with Teacher Jiangyue. Of course, I will also bring other guards."
"Then Marquis, I will also send people from the Fourth Legion to protect you secretly."
Because Aarons was well prepared, others had no objection to his plan.
——No matter who came here to provoke him, he didn't intend to let the other party go back alive.
...
"Is Teacher Jiangyue here? I want to discuss something with her."
"Oh, please come in, Marquis. The Earl is taking a break, you can just go to the research room directly."
Because the development workshop has been extremely busy these days, Aarons has never been embarrassed to disturb Jiangyue's research.
But today, he has more important things to ask the sage who is familiar with the aristocratic circle of the empire for help.
"Excuse me, Teacher Jiangyue, do you have time now--"
However, when Aarons pushed open the door of the laboratory, he saw an unexpected scene.
A beautiful woman with lavender long hair, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a skirt, was leaning on the drawing table, and her slender legs, which were not covered by any clothes, were crossed front and back at this time, posing an alluring posture.
It's so beautiful, if this can be... who is this? !
"Marquis? What do you want?"
After hearing the familiar voice, Aarons turned his eyes away from the legs and looked at the other person's face.
Then he was surprised to find that this beautiful woman who almost lost control of his desire after just one look was the Jiangyue he was looking for.
"Uh, um... Teacher Jiangyue, what are you doing..."
Jiangyue, who changed her hairstyle and hair color, took off her glasses and put on jewelry, looked completely different from before.
If she was originally a mature woman full of intelligence and stability, now she seemed like a devil that could lead people to fall. Every little move she made was enough to make Aarons, a young man,The temptation of young men losing their rationality.
This is more like a devil than Xia Ye's devil!
"Oh, are you talking about my appearance? I asked Miss Yang to redesign my look a few days ago. It should be pretty good, right?"
"Indeed... it's pretty good."
Feeling that the blood in his body was unconsciously gathering towards a certain part, Aarons was forced to activate his ability and forcibly calm down this unreasonable desire.
But before he could adjust his state, Jiang Yue suddenly put down the information in his hand and walked in front of him with her slender legs.
"Your face seems a little red, is your body okay?"
"Ahem, I'm not... No, I'm in trouble, please don't get so close to me!"
After realizing that his ability could not suppress the impulse of this young body, Aarons decisively responded directly.
"Teacher Jiangyue, no matter how old I was in my previous life... I am only 21 years old now! I am afraid I will make mistakes!"
After taking several steps back, Aarons immediately shook his head vigorously, temporarily throwing out more and more distracting thoughts from his mind.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect Miss Yang's design to be so suitable for your preferences... I will keep a proper distance from you, please don't be nervous."
After noticing Aarons' embarrassment, the beautiful sage with a gentle smile also took a few steps back. After the two of them pulled away, the strange sense of charm disappeared immediately.
At this time, Aarons suddenly realized that his unreasonable desire might have nothing to do with his body.
——Xia Ye must have done something!
"By the way, Marquis, I learned some new skills from Miss Yang before. If you are not in a hurry, can I show you first?"
Skills? What skills? It won't be a skill that makes people make a loud noise!
When Aarons showed a nervous and embarrassed expression, Jiang Yue's smile seemed to become even stronger.
However, when she casually summoned the new equipment that instantly shocked Aarons, the previous charming atmosphere was immediately swept away -
"This is a new weapon made with reference to your memory and Miss Yang's ability -"
