The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

But since he was attending the hearing, he of course chose to speak favorably and ignored the drawbacks.

The Atlantean councilman pondered for a moment, nodded lightly, and commented with interest.

"To make the Magic Crystal Cannon maneuver on the battlefield, this is indeed a groundbreaking improvement."

Based on tests from previous battles, even Gold Level powerhouses may not be able to withstand the bombardment of the Magic Crystal Cannon. Meanwhile, the heavy steel armor already possesses the ability to defend against an all-out strike from a Gold Level powerhouse.

This thing still has room for improvement.

For example, adding a layer of Magic Shield to the steel armor, in doing so, it could not only defend against close-range attacks from Human Knights but also resist the toughest combined casting, advancing under the fiery baptism of human Mages!

Thinking of this, the Atlantean councilman's interest on his face grew even stronger, seemingly pondering how to report this to Prince Colin.

And unlike the Atlantean councilman, the logistics sub-secretary, Hakes, had an ugly expression.

His fingers trembled slightly, then he tried to control his expression, pretending to be nonchalant and sneered.

"Hmph, mobility and defense seem solved, but let's see its true firepower..."

"This is exactly what I'm going to demonstrate next."

Luo Yan smiled and turned around, waving towards the Magic Crystal Tank parked in the center of the test field.

The goblin engineer in the driver's compartment saw Luo Yan's signal through the observation window and quickly restarted the tank, driving towards the target field.

Everything was ready, Luo Yan picked up the Communication Stone and gave a clean and decisive order.

"Fire."

With his command, the Magic Crystal Tank immediately adjusted the angle of the turret, aiming at the display of demon dummy array in the shooting range.

These dummies were made of reinforced Magic Stones and metal materials, offering several times more defense than ordinary Imperial soldiers, specifically used to test the lethality of heavy weapons.

After a brief charge, a deep red light brewed in the barrel of the Magic Crystal Cannon, then it fiercely released with a deafening explosion—

"Boom!!!"

The Magic Crystal Cannon roared, sharp magic light tore through the air, carrying devastating magic power towards the target!

The air seemed to be ripped apart in an instant, with explosive flames rising on the battlefield, the demon dummy array shattered into countless fragments, shock waves shattered the surrounding ground, dust flew, rolling heat waves came... the scene was almost like Saint Sis's Heaven.

The officials on the observation stand were dead silent.

They were not unfamiliar with the power of the Magic Crystal Cannon, but it was their first time seeing such a precise and lethal strike from such a close distance!

If this tank appeared on the battlefield, its firepower would undoubtedly be more flexible and deadly than traditional Magic Crystal Cannons!

It no longer needed dense formations for protection!

It could even follow the front-line demon infantry, serving as their cover, charging forward with them like Abyssal War Beasts!

Salman couldn't help but clench his fist, his voice filled with suppressed excitement: "If we add a few firing ports inside the tank, allowing Hell Dwarf gunners to shoot from within... oh Lord Demon God, I can even imagine the frightened expressions of our enemies!"

Luo Yan smiled upon hearing this and nodded gladly.

"Of course, no problem, we can add four firing ports on the sides and install a rotating turret on the tank's roof."

He knew well that this was excessive, but here practicality was the least important factor.

Gaining the favor of the War Department was the most important.

As long as these demons feel strong enough, it's good!

Salman slapped his thigh sharply, laughing with excitement.

"Haha! Fantastic!"

At this moment, Hakes finally couldn't hold it in, he took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm and rational: "This is indeed... a powerful weapon."

He paused, barely curling the corners of his mouth into a smile, his eyes flickering as he said, "But, with so much steel, isn't the cost too astronomical? The cost must be much higher than the Magic Crystal Cannon, right?"

Luo Yan turned to look at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, a flicker of subtle amusement flashed in his eyes.

"You're right, this Magic Crystal Tank costs ten times the Magic Crystal Cannon, about ten million Kela."

Upon hearing this, Hakes's eyes flashed with a smugness, ready to continue mocking, but Luo Yan leisurely added.

"However, every new invention will undergo this process; as the production line improves, the cost will significantly decrease."

His voice remained calm, as if stating an indisputable fact.

Facing the bureaucrats from the War Department and Logistics Department, he continued in a clear voice.

"Gentlemen, we are facing a revolutionary invention at this moment! Imagine the expression on human cavalry when they face this guy, we are changing not just equipment, not just a battle — but the entire mode of war!"

"Of course, whether to embrace it, the choice is in your hands!"

The bureaucrats exchanged glances, whispering among themselves.

The Atlantean councilman pondered for a while, suddenly showing a smile on his face.

"I think what you said makes sense... Prince Colin should like this thing."

The Prince Colin he referred to was naturally Caesar Colin, the master of Colin Duchy, one of the six members of the cabinet, and the military minister of the Demon God.

As soon as the words of the Atlantean councilman fell, Salman raised his hand boldly and declared.

"I have a proposal, I think... the War Department can first procure sixty tanks for frontline testing! If there's no problem, we'll continue to expand the procurement orders!"

While speaking, he looked at Luo Yan, his eyes bright and continued.

"I will then propose to the minister to discuss in the department meeting, hoping you can ensure a monthly delivery capacity of at least 10 units."

"No problem," Luo Yan nodded gladly, smiling as he said, "This is not a difficult task for Black Wind Castle."

A long time ago, Mr. Feistin had made it clear to him that the cabinet was the true holder of core power in Hell.

As long as Prince Colin nods, the internal meetings of the War Department are just a formality.

This Salman staff officer is very clever, just like his sly senior.

So far, the ambitions of the Dragon family have basically suffered a major setback.

The fiasco they painstakingly crafted at Seldo Port and the hearing did not become Luo Yan's stumbling blocks, but rather stepping stones for him to climb higher.

The Demon King of Thunder County not only elegantly solved the mobility issue of the Magic Crystal Cannon but also seized this opportunity to secure a large order for Black Wind Castle, gaining the support of the military minister.

Although Prince Colin has yet to express his stance, the attitude of the Atlantean councilman, who is close to this Vampire Prince, has already revealed much.

There is still time to choose sides, better late than not...

However, not all demons can transition with lightning speed like Salman staff officer.

Take, for instance, the logistics sub-secretary Hakes, who stood there with a tense face, unable to utter a single word.

His ties with the Dragon family were too deep, now even if he wanted to turn around, it was too late.

Of course—

There's an undeniable sense of wishful thinking within it.

After all, a dead camel is larger than a horse; even if the Dragon family loses this round, they can still make the next move.

However, this was nothing but his fantasy.

The officials in the War Department excitedly conversed, began to plan the tactical application of the tank, while Hakes stood aside, sweating coldly, eyes shadowed.

Watching Luo Yan standing beside the observation seat, the Atlantean councilman nodded slowly, his gaze carried obvious admiration.

"Once again, you made Demon City realize that your rule over Black Wind Castle is the most correct."

Luo Yan nodded gently, his tone calm as he said.

"Everything is for Your Majesty the Demon God."

At this moment—

The players inside the crystal ball in his arms whispered.

"Wow, Lord Demon King sure is awesome!"

"This is just shameless!"
