The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

The bigwigs of the Demon City had already "picked him up for interrogation," and just put him down, now the Magic Crystal Cannon Factory at Black Wind Castle was pushed into the limelight again.

The goblin engineer looked at Luo Yan with a pleading expression, trying to persuade him not to speak further.

However, Luo Yan didn't spare him a glance and maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

The goblins were still too timid, almost no different from the goblins.

Do they think admitting defeat means they won't be messed with?

That's too naive.

Standing up, you can still fight back, lying down, you'll be trampled.

Besides, he wasn't being recklessly arrogant without reason, he was deliberately doing so to seize the initiative.

Anyway, General Sebes was on the frontline, even if Luo Yan kicked him in the butt, he couldn't possibly rush to the hearing to confront him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan stood his ground, and Hakes from the Logistics Department was at a loss,

He glanced around and saw that Salman from the War Department was about to speak, so he simply gave the opportunity to talk back to him, retreating to a backstage position.

"I will not allow you to slander the generals of Hell in this manner." Salman glared at Luo Yan, speaking in a deep voice.

"Is this slander?" Luo Yan chuckled lightly, "Mr. Salman, don't forget where I came back from, I returned from the battlefield of Thunder County. The human army and the Chosen Ones were right above me, and I had a bunch of disobedient scum in my Maze... No frontline is more advanced than mine, yet why didn't I let Hell bury eighty thousand promising young men? I ask you to answer me this question."

Salman widened his eyes, his fists clenched tightly, yet he couldn't say a word.

The officials from the War Department whispered among themselves, while the officials from the Logistics Department were visibly grim.

Instead, the Flame Demon senator, overseeing the hearing from the main seat, curiously glanced at Luo Yan.

He seemed to have figured out what Luo Yan intended, just didn't expect him to seize control of the hearing in such an aggressive way.

This was indeed a very risky move.

However――

It seemed there was no better choice.

Facing pairs of questioning or intimidated eyes, Luo Yan straightened his back, continuing with a resounding voice.

"I'll repeat, there is no problem with my Magic Crystal Cannons! A single campaign's loss cannot prove any problem exists, you blame the issues on Magic Crystal Cannons, why not blame the swords in the soldiers' hands and the armor on their bodies? A failure can find a thousand excuses for its own foolishness, and the most despicable is to blame the equipment."

Watching Salman slump back into his seat, Harvik, who intended to step back and observe, had to step forward again, reluctantly picking up the conversation.

"But the issues in the battle reports are not false, the mobility issue of the Magic Crystal Cannons indeed drew criticisms from the frontline soldiers. And now the problem is, we have already equipped this new weapon, if it's rashly replaced, the entire logistics system has to be adjusted――"

Luo Yan had been waiting for this statement, he spread his hands, smiling as he spoke.

"That's easy, just solve the problem, isn't it?"

Harvik was stunned.

The War Department official sitting next to Salman leaned forward, eagerly speaking.

"Can you solve this problem?"

"Of course I can."

Facing those fervent matters, Luo Yan calmly painted a grand vision.

"Not only can I make the Magic Crystal Cannon mobile, but I can also give it defenses comparable to Abyssal War Beasts, and... mobility not inferior to the former!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion immediately arose in the hearing.

Especially at the War Department's seats, the eyes of those war-hungry demons instantly turned feverish, eager for the Demon King to turn this promise into reality immediately.

The goblin engineer stared at Luo Yan in astonishment, dumbfounded, momentarily at a loss for words.

How could such a thing be possible?!

The pupils of Harvik, an Undersecretary of the Logistics Department, slightly contracted, staring intently at Luo Yan, trying to detect any flaws in his expression.

"Is this true?"

Luo Yan smiled.

"There's no jest in the military."

"Gentlemen! You've all heard, this Demon King from Thunder County claims he has a way to make the several tons of cannon move on its own and give it defenses comparable to an Abyssal War Beast..."

Harvik tapped his forefinger on the table, a delighted smile appeared on his face, he glanced around the hearing room.

Then he looked back at Luo Yan, speaking in a slightly teasing tone.

"I hope he won't end up saying that each cannon will be assigned a Silver Level Horror Demon."

Luo Yan quietly watched his performance, a sliver of a smile on his lips.

"Of course, this equipment will undergo formal process inspection, and by then you'll know I wasn't bluffing."

Harvik stared at him intently.

"You have three months to prove yourself, otherwise we will resume impeachment proceedings. If you fail to solve the problem in these three months, we'll unfortunately conclude that you're not capable of running Black Wind Castle and its War Factory, suggesting it be governed directly by Demon City would be more appropriate... Of course, we will allocate a financial compensation for you from the budget, and you can continue to hold the title of Baron of Black Wind Castle, but not as its Lord."

"And if I prove it?" Luo Yan smiled askance at him.

Harvik squinted his eyes, his Adam's apple subtly moving.
