Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to be pushed down by the players

With the return of old Earl Lawrence and the Sixth Garrison Corps, Turner City has begun post-disaster reconstruction.

Chris did not stay long in this city that was regaining its former vitality. After chatting with old Earl Lawrence in the study for an afternoon.

The next day, our princess returned to Vader City with her army of players and city guards.

"Your Highness, here are some documents that require your signature."

Chris, who had wanted to take a break by claiming she was physically and mentally exhausted after fighting for days, was blocked at the door as soon as she returned to her castle.

Looking at Donald standing at the castle gate with a pile of documents in his arms and an expressionless face, Chris showed an awkward smile.

"Sir Donald, it's getting late. Why don't we deal with these documents tomorrow?"

In response to Chris's words, Donald simply looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and continued to look at his princess with emotionless eyes.

Faced with Donald's invisible oppression, and seeing that Donald had become much thinner and more tired during the days when he was away, he felt very uncomfortable.

Chris could only smile awkwardly and get off the horse, then reached out to take the documents from Donald's arms.

"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll take a shower and then go to the City Hall."

She sighed helplessly. She had originally wanted to enjoy a few days of slacking off.

However, when Chris finished washing up and came to the study, she sat down at her seat and began to review the documents that had piled up for some time.

She understood why Donald, who had turned a blind eye to her slacking off in the past, would block the door directly.

Before version 2.0, the general plot of the Hefno continent was about unrest in various countries and regions.

Such unrest, driven by countless forces behind the scenes, eventually turned into the 2.0 version of the war that swept across the entire continent.

Therefore, although she had only been away from Wade City for less than ten days, the City Lord's Mansion had accumulated a lot of intelligence from other regions.

What Chris is most concerned about is the information from her younger brother.

While Wade City and Turner City were facing the crisis of the arrival of the evil god, a major event also broke out in Port Lit.

As a prince with ideals and ambitions, although Prince Nolan is a heavy sister-con, he still keeps working hard to do things.

As the most important commercial port city in the western part of the Kingdom of Aler, pirates have always been an important factor restricting the continued development of Lit Port.

Therefore, since arriving in the territory, Nolan has been committed to eliminating pirates after unifying the noble forces in his fiefdom.

However, behind these pirates roaming the Glittering Sea and the powerful pirate groups, there is support from various forces.

The old king's stupidity and the turmoil in the Kingdom of Aler naturally made other countries want to take a bite of this ancient kingdom.

So Chris knew that her brother's actions of exterminating pirates would definitely cause dissatisfaction among those forces, and they would want to test it.

It was under such circumstances that the pirates on the Glittering Sea formed an alliance.

They wanted to test whether the Kingdom of Aler, which was in turmoil, could unite as one and combine its strength to resist foreign enemies under such circumstances.

Or, they drag each other back and stab each other in the back.

Chris, holding the document in her hand, sat there in silence.

Fragments of the dream from half a year ago kept flooding into her mind.

The younger brother in the dream died on the way to suppress pirates not long after.

According to the original game plot, his brother's death in battle also made the forces behind the pirates realize that the Kingdom of Aler was no longer viable.

Putting down the information in her hand and closing her eyes, Chris leaned back in her chair, tapping the table lightly with her fair fingers.

"Sir Donald, we now have several warships."

Donald, who was processing paperwork, raised his head, frowned, and looked at his prince in confusion.

"There's only the frigate that His Highness Nolan left behind. Although we've purchased materials and built several frigates of the same model, these warships haven't yet become combat-ready."

Chris nodded. She knew in her heart that compared to the army, which only needed a period of training to go to the battlefield.

The navy has always been considered a technical branch of the military, and it is not considered complete just by having ships.

Not to mention, in the Hefno continent, which is still a world of sailing warships, the wood used to build warships needs to be processed, and it takes two or three years just to process these woods.

However, no matter what, Chris could not sit idly by and watch her brother continue to step into the death trap step by step as in the dream.

"Sir Donald, notify Brand immediately and have him gather all the soldiers and warships."

Without thinking too much, Chris gave the order.

"Your Highness! What do you want to do?"

Donald immediately stood up in surprise, looking at his highness in confusion.

In his opinion, with a kingdom fleet at its disposal, Port Lit would have no problem defending the city against the assembled pirates, even if it could not defeat them head-on.

and...

"Your Highness, with just a few of our small dinghies, we would be sending ourselves to our deaths in a naval battle of that scale."

Not only Donald, but even Yuni, who always listened to Chris, opposed Chris's actions.

Facing the persuasion of Donald and others, Chris understood in her heart that although the frigates of Wade City were the latest in the kingdom, they would not be able to make much waves in a naval battle of that scale.

But she still has to go!

Unable to explain the reason in her heart to Donald and the others, Chris could only grit her teeth and persevere.

"I'm not going now."

Chris opened her mouth to explain.

Her words made Yuni, Donald and the others feel relieved.

The war between Nolan and the pirates has just begun. For a period of time, both sides will definitely be in the stage of testing each other and looking for each other's mistakes.

During this time, Chris also had her own things to do.

That is to develop the technology of Vader City.

This time, Chris is going to click on the two technology lines in the middle.

She wanted to see what players would do with modern civilization's airplanes and warships in this magical world.

At the same time, Chris would remind her brother through letters.

Tell him to be careful of the nobles in Lit Port who seem to have surrendered to him.

The most terrifying enemy is never a direct opponent.

Chapter 170:52 Caliber is Justice

Although she had suppressed the opposition of others, Chris was determined to support her brother.

However, she did not leave for Port Lit immediately.

Chris has always been clear that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

Moreover, even if she was only considered a talker and a scholar who governed the country with a keyboard before.

Chris has been in Wade City for more than half a year now. After going through many things, she can barely be considered a qualified city lord.

At least, he did a good job in trusting his ministers, delegating power to his subordinates and not interfering in their affairs.

During the past six months, Chris has always been clear that Wade City has developed to its current level of prosperity.

In addition to the hairline contributed by Donald, one of the reasons is that Wade City now has many products that are not available in other regions, and the same products are cheaper and of better quality than in other regions.

The reason for this, apart from the fact that Chris has a civilization system that can point out the unique technological line of the Hefno continent, is basically all thanks to the players.

Today, Chris was standing outside the city of Wade, in a weapons testing ground that was specially protected by the city guards and no one else was allowed to enter.

In addition to her, Rodlan and Caris, who are high-ranking military officials in Vid City, also accompanied her.

Not far from them, a dozen city guards were tinkering with a cannon.

Next to these city guards, there were several players standing, helping and instructing the soldiers on how to operate the cannon.

"Your Highness, what's the difference between this...cannon and the magic crystal cannon?"

Although many new weapons have appeared in Vid City in the past six months, Lordran has become accustomed to them.

But he still couldn't help but ask.

In his opinion, the artillery that the soldiers were checking and preparing was roughly the same as the magic crystal cannon in appearance, except that it lacked a kind of magic fluctuation.

"A similar area-of-effect weapon."

After thinking for a while, Chris gave her own definition of artillery.

As a keyboard military strategist, Chris is very clear about the role of artillery in modern warfare.

After all, in her world, many people on the Internet believe that "caliber is justice". When the artillery was moved onto the ship, a multi-turret cult was developed.

Although there are mages in this world, the spells mastered by powerful mages naturally include those with high attack power and wide range, and there are even legendary forbidden spells that can change the terrain.

But in the continent of Hefno, mages are still a rare species compared to other professions, not to mention the great mages who master these large-scale killing spells.

In such circumstances, the advantages of artillery are as obvious as those of muskets, or even more exaggerated.

The time and investment required to train artillery is definitely not as much as that required to train mages. Coupled with the numerical advantage of artillery, it will completely change the war on the continent of Hefno.

Of course, compared to the mage, the disadvantages of the artillery being heavy and inconvenient to move will be magnified.

However, Chris was very much looking forward to the performance of the artillery when it appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

"Rodran, you will understand next."

When she saw the female player with the ID "Drowsy Wildcat" raising the signal flag in her hand not far away, Chris turned her head and said to Rodlan and Karis with a smile.

"Remember to cover your ears."

Rodlan, Karis, and several captains of the city guards behind them covered their ears in confusion and looked at the testing ground with anticipation.

As the soldiers retreated, the drowning wildcat suddenly waved the signal flag in his hand.

"fire!"

"boom!"

As a huge roar sounded in the test field, Rodlan and others beside Chris couldn't help but show surprised expressions as they looked at the shooting range set up on the hillside in the distance.

As a fireball exploded, dirt flew everywhere.

After the smoke cleared, all they saw were the wooden targets in the shooting range that had been blown to pieces.

"It's not as powerful as the magic crystal cannon."

With his own strength, Rodlan could clearly see everything that happened in the shooting range.

After just a moment's hesitation, he expressed his thoughts and turned to look at Chris, who was not disappointed.

"But if I'm not mistaken, Your Highness, this cannon you mentioned has other advantages."

"For example, it's easier to manufacture than a magic crystal cannon, costs less, and doesn't require a mage apprentice to operate?"

Chris showed an expression of admiration for Lordran's sharpness.

"Yes."

She nodded. This was also the reason why she wanted to develop artillery despite the existence of magic crystal cannons in this world.

While Chris and Rodlan were discussing the pros and cons of the artillery, players like Drowned Wildcat were testing the artillery there.

Listening to the constant explosions in the test field, Rodlan understood another advantage of the artillery.

That is, there is no need to consider the elemental chaos and explosion caused by continuous shooting like the magic crystal cannon.

But before long, a huge explosion sounded in their ears.

As the explosion sounded, several arms and thighs fell beside them.

"Cough cough!"

Rodlan coughed a few times in embarrassment. He didn't expect that the cannon would explode just after he had praised it for a few words.

"Well, it's the first test after all, so it's inevitable that the barrel will explode."

Chris spoke without changing her expression, then signaled the guards behind her to collect the bodies.

She glanced at the big pit where the artillery was originally located. Under such a powerful explosion, the players who fell into the water, the wild cats, were naturally killed to pieces.

Just by looking at the pieces of flesh scattered almost all over the field, she knew that there was no need to consider resurrection, and these players could just queue up for resurrection.
