System vs Rebirth

After making sure nothing went wrong, Anna finally led the group to the mayor's office.

On the way, the noble couldn't help but look down, contemplating this new invention.

'This is too ridiculous. They can actually bring so many materials at the same time? No. I don't think that's a reason for us to worry about it.

'What if the Earl plans to use them as a way to attack us? Those carriages can transport hundreds if not thousands of people at once, including horses. If he used it to bring his people, he could launch an invasion much faster and more terrifying than what people could imagine.

'In addition, what if he actually used that to ram the city's wall? The Earl is known to have the runes that could reinforce its defense, right? That's probably why the Zaecuria Kingdom worked together with him. They wanted that enhancement rune to actually destroy the wall…

'This will become even more troublesome because this invention can carry numerous explosives, resources, or materials. Once this thing enters the city and explodes, the destruction is unimaginable.

'Even if it stays outside, it can keep bringing resources for hundreds of thousands of people. This will be extremely useful for a siege.

'And more importantly, there is a chance for a new type of war. He can actually split his troops into two, one siege and one plunder. The siege army will stop the city while the plundering army will get all the resources that the territory has, either their natural resources or the materials they can plunder from villages or other cities.

'During a territorial war, people usually focus on defeating the lord of that territory, but what if he doesn't intend to take down the lord in that territory? Instead, he just wants to prolong the war so that he could get all the resources?'

The old noble couldn't believe what he was thinking. That was how much of an impact the new invention had.

It was clear that, if they let it be, this new invention would definitely dominate the entire kingdom.

The old noble gritted his teeth, feeling frustrated. 'What can I actually do to stop this? Should I destroy this new invention? But it's going to be hard to do it without getting any suspicion.

'In addition, we don't know how long they need to actually manufacture this new invention. If it doesn't take too long, it will be useless.

'And there will be a lot of lords interested in it. In that case, we have to acquire it… Studying it and learning how strong it can become will benefit us in the long run. And by using my authority, I can force them to allow me get one for inspection to ensure the safety of the common people.'

"What's wrong?" The crown prince asked, noticing the grim expression that his adviser had.

The old noble didn't reply to him immediately. "Things are not looking good, Your Highness. The invention is too dangerous. Destroying it might not be possible for now, but if we can acquire it and study it… we can halt the Ardagan family's progress."
