บท 76: Aria's request

Artyon's Pov

I watched as my engineers and slaves worked tirelessly to secure the cannons in place on the ships. I knew that these weapons would strike fear into the hearts of my enemies, and that my family's safety depended on them.

I couldn't help but feel guilty for using the slaves' labor to achieve my goals, but I had no other choice. I had to do whatever it took to protect my loved ones.

As the engineers attached the firing mechanisms and tested each cannon, I watched in awe as the first cannonball flew through the air and crashed into the shore. These cannons were even more powerful than I had imagined.

Finally, the ships were loaded with gunpowder and cannonballs, and the engineers made their final checks. With the cannons pointed menacingly towards the horizon, my fleet set sail.
