Craig Town.

The fighting at the docks subsided, and the Eastern warships suffered heavy losses.

In the town, Erin Craig, who was in Craig's manor, did not wait for the soldiers who went to the Lanton Chamber of Commerce to bring back the body of his former brother-in-law.

Everything is out of his control!

"Lord Giovanni, something seems to be wrong. ”

In the conference hall, wearing a shawl and silver hair, heavy makeup on his face, and luxurious clothes, he looked a little unman or female, but the very handsome Medici family member heard this, and said lightly: "It's normal to have an accident. ”

"The hero who helped the Stuart family recover the Northlands. ”

"How can it be that you don't have any skills at all?"

Hearing this, Erin frowned: "Then I ......"

"Don't be here, me. Giovanni Medici got up, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Go out and see, you will have to face these things after all." ”

"If it weren't for my stupid uncle marrying your two sisters without permission. ”

"I don't want to care about this!"

Feeling Giovanni Medici's anger, Erin lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, and obediently followed him out of the conference room.

The two had not left the manor yet.

Langton appeared on the street just outside the gates of Craig's estate.

"Erin, shall we talk?"

Seeing Erin preparing to travel, Langton, who was standing outside the manor gate, asked loudly.

"Gabby ......"

Seeing Lanton standing outside the door with several women, Erin frowned, waved the doorman to give way, and walked over with a gloomy expression.

Whispered, "Why can't you be smarter?"

"Smarter?"

Giovanni Medici, who was walking next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Erin, don't say such things to make me laugh, okay?"

Then he glanced at Langton a few times and said elegantly, "You must be Gabriel Lanton." ”

"Congratulations on becoming a Pioneer Knight of the Northlands. ”

"There are very few enterprising knights these days, and I admire your choice. ”

"I'm Giovanni Medici. ”

"The Great Eastside has announced the third son of Ruth Medici. ”

Hearing this, Langton was a little surprised, he didn't expect this guy to be so big, so he hurriedly put his right hand across his chest and saluted: "Hello, son of the honorable Grand Duke, I'm Gabriel Lanton." ”

"Not the son of the Grand Duke, but the Count. Giovanni shook his head and corrected lightly: "You should call me Count Giovanni." ”

"Yes, Gabriel Langton has seen Count Giovanni. ”

Langton immediately said: "Please forgive me for my ignorance, I have only been a knight for a long time, and I don't know much about it. ”

Etiquette among nobles was not simple.

Inferior nobles who are not polite enough will be seen as snubbing the great nobles, and then using disrespect as an excuse to launch a legitimate challenge!

Arryn defected to the Grand Duke of the East, and a war with the Northlands could break out in the future.

This can also be an excuse to jump to the end of the battle in advance!

No matter how the battle is fought.

Langton must not allow this little matter to become one of the factors causing the war between the two places, otherwise the plan to go to sea to develop forces will not be implemented at all.

Giovanni chuckled: "Infatuated Gabri, I heard that you love Hannah Craig very much?"

"Did you know she's married now?"

"I heard. Langton nodded, "But it's none of my business now." ”

Erin didn't believe him: "So what are you doing when you come back?"

Langton gave Erin a strange look and said, "Our family's chamber of commerce is here. ”

"Good business is also there. ”

"Why don't you come back?"

"Chamber of Commerce?business?" Giovanni smiled, "I like people who are enterprising and self-motivated." ”

"Gabry, would you like to come into the manor and talk?"

Langton: "Of course I do. ”

"However, I would like to give a small reminder to Count Giovanni that the situation at the docks may surprise you. ”

Giovanni was piqued with curiosity: "How unexpected?"

Lanton: "The Earl had better send a soldier to take a look." ”

"Here, I would like to state first of all that the Langtons are only in self-defense and do not mean to offend the authority of the Medici. ”

"I will. Giovanni nodded and motioned to the knight next to him to go to the docks to check.

But the knight did not go far on his horse, and ran back with a few more soldiers.

"Lord Earl!"

Hurried to Giovanni, who returned to the conference room and sat down, he reported in a low voice: "Our battleship has failed miserably in the harbor and suffered heavy losses!"

"And we can't even touch those armed merchant ships of the Lanton family!"

"The Northlanders are so strong?" Giovanni looked at Langton curiously and said, "Knight Gabriel, it seems that we really should have a good talk." ”

"I have a request. ”

Langton smiled, "I'd like to meet the vassals of the Craig family." ”

"It's best to talk to them. ”

"You're eligible to make a request. Giovanni said, "But this request is a bit redundant, and I won't do anything to the nobles of the Northland." ”

"Won't even receive Craig Collar. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Erin's face changed, and it was completely different from what he thought: "Lord Count Giovanni, are you kidding?"

Giovanni: "No. ”

"Originally, I was going to visit Duchess Isabella after a while. ”

"But I'm going to advance now. ”

"Would the knights of Ghabrie and the nobles of Craig Town be willing to be introduced?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl. Langton shook his head: "I'm ready to go to sea after I have the resources, goods and business of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"I am sure that Duchess Isabella will personally receive Her Count. ”

Giovanni nodded: "I expected that. ”

"But I'm curious about you, Gabry, tell me, what do you think about Arryn's defection to the East, and the intention of his vassals to turn their backs on these things?"

Langton: "My lordship, I am not in a position to say anything about these matters. ”

"You're cautious. Giovanni smiled.

"But I'm curious about your armed ship. ”

"It was easy to defeat the warships of our Medici family. ”

"What weapons are you equipped?"

Langton: "Just a few trivial inventions. ”

"Then this little invention is too powerful. Giovanni smiled at Langton and asked, "Since you are unwilling to give up the family chamber of commerce, it means that you are still a businessman." ”

"I asked in business. ”

"Do you want to buy the invention?"

Hearing this, Langton, who was worried about how to open up the business situation, immediately blossomed in his heart.

"The Earl is short of weapons?"

Giovanni: "The Langton Chamber of Commerce is also in the long-distance trade, and you should know how much the long-distance ships need weapons that can effectively destroy pirates. ”

Lanton: "The Earl, you can find a time to look at the weapons. ”

"I promise I won't disappoint Lord Count. ”

"Okay, let's wait a minute. Giovanni: "It will take time for Arryn to gather the vassals, so let's go to the docks to have a look." ”

Just go.

Giovanni, as the guardian of the East and the third son of the Grand Duke Medici, did things without delay and acted resolutely.

Leaving Craig Manor, Erin was blackened the whole time.

With a few people heading to the pier.

The soldiers of the East also went to inform the vassals of the Craig family.

on the pier.

The soldiers of the East were all on standby, guarding against the armed ships of the Langton Chamber of Commerce, and even a few squads dismantled the catapults from the city walls and moved them to assemble.

"Don't be so nervous. ”

Seeing this, Giovanni asked them all to stop moving.

Then he looked at Langton.

"Shouldn't you make your ships friendly?"

"Don't worry, sir. Langton fired a fireworks flare into the sky to get the ship back to shore: "They won't mess around. ”

Sauron leaped directly from the deck to the dock.

"Silver Rank Transcendental?"

Watching Sauron, who was wearing heavy armor, jump over dozens of meters of sea and return to the dock, Giovanni, who had the strength of the bronze primary level, immediately recognized his strength.

"Gabry, don't tell me this is your man. ”

Langton shook his head and said, "This is the knight of Sauron who was canonized by the duchess herself. ”

"It's Knight Sauron, hello, I'm Count Giovanni Medici from here. ”

Giovanni smiled and nodded, the Auguste Empire respected the strong, and the silver-level powerhouses were qualified to make the earl pay attention.

But when Darth Vader, Ares, and Loki all leap from putting on them.

The smile on his face froze.

Three Silver Tier powerhouses!

And a mage!

A pioneer knight of the Northlands, who was born as a merchant, knows so many strong people!

After a while, the armed ship slowly moored at the long wooden approach bridge at the pier.

Loki's decision to go south to infiltrate the imperial capital and contact with the great nobles must be the fastest way to infiltrate the center of imperial power.

After Giovanni greeted him, the two chatted passionately at first sight.

Langton said, "Count Giovanni, please come with me to the ship and take a look at the weapons." ”

Get on board the armed boat that docks.

While chatting with Loki, Giovanni looked at the steel repeater and the return cannon he was wearing, and Loki, who was chatting about it, also grabbed Lanton's introduction and used it himself.

The steel crossbow is compactly constructed and can fire quickly and continuously.

The range is farther than that of a normal bed crossbow!

"In addition to putting this thing on a battleship, it can also be used to defend the city?" Giovanni was very satisfied with the repeater: "What about the price?"

"Can you give me one to take back to the East, and I can ask my father to buy a thousand from you!"

"If you are willing to send a craftsman to teach the craft......"

"You can do it if you want the Eastern Knighthood!"

Loki would love to take Langton's place for all his questions.

But Ares and Sauron were all around.

It's not good to dominate the crowd.

Lan Dun smiled and shook his head: "A thousand is too many, even if I gather all the craftsmen in the Northland to help, it will take a long time to build them all." ”

"As for sending craftsmen to teach crafts......

"I'm sorry, Darth Vader is going to sea with me. ”

"I'm afraid there's no time for this. ”

Hearing this, knowing that the repeater was designed and built by Darth Vader, a silver-tier powerhouse, Giovanni was a little surprised: "This steel repeater was created by Your Excellency?"

The Black Warrior nodded coldly and didn't say anything more.

Giovanni set his sights on another weapon: "Is this called a return cannon catapult?"

"I designed it. ”

Langton once went to Hengdian to do engineering, as a social animal who often mixed with construction sites, because of his curiosity about various building structures, he studied the return gun.

moved to another world, and the copyright already belonged to the thick-skinned him.

"Isn't it better than a regular catapult?"

Giovanni nodded: "Yes, it can fight farther than ordinary catapults, and its size is not bulky, in addition to being used on large warships and defending cities, it can also carry siege cities." ”

"It's all good!"

"But I heard you have a better one?"

"That's right. Langton lifted the tarpaulin covering the artillery: "This is an epoch-making weapon." ”

"Artillery!"

"Artillery?" Looking at the steel pipe in front of him, Giovanni frowned: "This thing is a bit like an ancient magic energy cannon." ”

"But the magic energy cannon is bronze. ”

"Firing a beam of energy consumes the mage's mana, or consumes a large amount of magic crystals. ”

"Artillery doesn't need to consume mana, and it doesn't use magic crystals. Langton opened the powder keg next to him, then pointed to the iron ballistic and said, "Just reload this, and you can fire the cannonball." ”

As the son of the Grand Duke of the East.

Giovanni had seen many spellcasters, and the family castle also had magic energy cannons, so he seemed to be less interested in it.

Shaking his head, he asked, "The gunpowder that artillery needs to consume is not easy to make, right?"

"Uh......"

Langton never thought that anyone would look down on artillery, so he thought he was trying to get away with it, and then explained: "As long as the raw materials are sufficient, there will be as much gunpowder as possible." ”

Giovanni: "We also have alchemists in our family. ”

"Although I don't know about this gunpowder. ”

"But I know how expensive alchemists make things. ”

"Even if it's not expensive, this thing is a consumable. ”

"If you use it too much, the price will come up. ”

“......”

It makes sense, and Langton can't argue with it at all.

Moreover, he had also heard of the Magic Energy Cannon.

It is said that the magic cannon is very powerful, willing to consume mana and magic crystals, and can even blast the mountain into foam with one shot......

Giovanni really has the qualifications to look down on artillery.

Giovanni: "Gabri, tell me about the price of the repeater." ”

"How long will it take to deliver a thousand?"

"A thousand is too much. Langton smiled bitterly: "You know how complicated this thing is, ordinary craftsmen make one for at least a few months." ”

"Even if we're going to do it... One week. ”

Giovanni was stunned: "A week?"

His family also had craftsmen, and there were master craftsmen, and even those masters might not dare to say that such an elaborate steel repeater could be made in a week.

So he could be sure that Langton wasn't telling the truth.

"Don't lie to me, I can buy one for three hundred gold coins, I want eight hundred, and I will deliver it in three months. ”

Langton: "Impossible!"

With Darth Vader, Sauron and Carrie, as well as T-X and T-800 robots, it is not difficult to make mechanical repeaters, as long as there are raw materials, build a few assembly lines, and build tens of thousands of planes in three months, it just takes a little more time for people to assemble.

But there is no industry in this world, no power has been established, and he is not willing to release this system too early.

So will not agree to the deal.

Giovanni said again: "The four hundred gold coins are one, I want six hundred, and the delivery will be carried out in the same three months!"

Langton shook his head: "No, we can't do it, and no one can do it." ”

Giovanni: "But I know you have the confidence, five hundred gold coins a rack, I want five hundred." ”

"Time for you to tell. ”

Five hundred gold coins each, five hundred gold coins is twenty gold coins income.

Langton was a little tempted by the price.

You must know that during the period in Black Rock Fort, he and Sauron, Darth Vader, Andrew, and Carrie were in a small workshop, and in less than half a month, they built five or six hundred repeater crossbows and return cannons, and filled the walls of Black Rock Fort for soldiers to use.
