Some soldiers even surrounded a stone house and observed the situation inside.
"Those two guys look thin and small, but they can actually make such a big noise. What on earth do you think they are doing there?"
"Who knew? I heard it was extremely powerful. All the soldiers on the front line saw it that day. A small firecracker actually killed dozens of enemy soldiers."
"If they make this weapon, they won't be promoted to a higher rank!"
"With their looks, how can they possibly make a weapon? The most they can make is a firework!"
"Don't underestimate people, I saw two brothers blowing up a firework two days ago, and it made a big hole right there!"
...
When everyone was quarreling, Zhao Rui came into the crowd.
"What are you fooling around here? If you don't hurry back and prepare for war, the enemy may attack at any time."
The majestic voice made everyone tremble, and they did not dare to stay here too long and left one after another.
Zhao Rui turned his head and looked inside the house, and found that the two brothers were knocking there, not knowing what they were doing.
Not long after, there was a burst of excited shouts in the room.
The brothers held a fist-sized ball and ran out of the house excitedly. When they saw Zhao Rui there, they immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, fortunately, my two brothers have lived up to their orders and have already made something..."
Before they could finish speaking, Zhao Rui directly took the ball in his hand, lit the fuse with a fire stick and threw it out.
The two brothers were startled and rushed forward, pushing Zhao Rui and Bai Hua to the ground.
An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and several huge rocks were blown into powder.
Zhao Rui suddenly became excited. This power was almost as powerful as a grenade, but due to limitations in materials and production techniques, there was no way to go further.
"Very good! I keep my promise. Both of you can be knighted, but from now on, you must devote yourself to research and continuous improvement!"
"My request is very simple. This thing must be smaller, more convenient to use, and more powerful!"
Zhao Rui's tone became much more serious when he spoke, which invisibly put great pressure on the brothers.
Being able to make the thing in front of them was already their limit. It would be almost impossible to continue the transformation, but Zhao Rui had already given the order, so they couldn't say much.
"I obey my orders!"
Brothers Zhao Long and Zhao Hu knelt on the ground respectfully. After thanking Zhao Rui for the reward, they turned around and walked into the house again.
Zhao Rui has no intention of putting this weapon into battle yet.
After all, this thing has been reduced to a blow to a certain extent. If it bombs a few times and the Maurya Empire surrenders, then all the strategic plans he made before will be in vain.
"Report!"
The herald rushed forward in a hurry and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Your Highness, Duke of Qin, there is a messenger from the Maurya Dynasty, saying that King Asoka wants to negotiate peace with you!"
