"Do you mean Robert? Your master lost the battle for the throne with Wilhelm II, and now he can't even go back to his castle. Isn't he going to give up yet? ”

King Pullen turned his head and asked, "Of course, business is business." If you can afford to pay for it, you will be able to establish trade relations with our Pulon King's City, and we will be happy to provide any goods. ”

After saying this, King Pullen pointed to the nun.

"Even if it's ...... Weapons and armor of this quality don't hurt. Of course, the price will be a little higher. ”

When the man heard this, his eyes lit up. He was joined by the Scottish emissary. Both of them turned their heads almost at the same time to stare at the armor that Ni was wearing, to be exact.

Ni was startled by the two messengers' green eyes like hungry wolves, and almost drew his sword on the spot.

"Ahem, it's rude." The first to react was Robert's emissary, Townske. As Robert's trusted emissary, Townske has special priority in many matters. For example, this time, Robert entrusted Tomsk with bringing back an ally anyway to help him return to London and reclaim the throne as soon as possible.

"May I ask King Pullen, is what you just said true?" Are you really willing to sell us this armor and sophisticated weapons? ”

King Pullen nodded expressionlessly, a gleam flashing in his eyes. "That's natural, there's no reason to turn you away. As long as you can afford it, then not to mention this kind of weapon, even if it is a full set of military armor. However, even if we in the royal city of Pullen are willing to sell such high-quality weapons and armor, do you still have so much money for those forces that have been driven to the corner of England? ”

The corners of Townske's mouth twitched, and this feeling of being obviously looked down upon by the other party made a wave of anger rise in his belly, the dignified Earl of Normandy, the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of England, was so openly questioned! If it had been somewhere else, Townske might have flipped the table a long time ago, but here he was very aware of his choice of patience.

"King Pullen, you are underestimating the esteemed Count Robert. Indeed, we have been forced to the corner of England by William II, and even we cannot protect ourselves. But don't forget that even so, my master was still an aristocrat, and most of the people under his banner were the reformers of England, unlike the old-fashioned ones in London. ”

"Indeed, William II occupied most of London and England. But let's not forget that in England's present conditions most of the land and taxes were dependent on the taxes of the nobility to enrich the treasury. However, it is unfortunate that my master has a considerable number of local nobles who support him, so there is no need to worry about the funds at all! ”

"Oh? Then I won't say anything more. ”

King Pullen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought that Robert's support for the native nobility was indeed historically illustrated. But he didn't expect that after the defeat in the battle for the British king in London, he could still get the firm support of those nobles, which is what people care about the most. It seems that Robert should have some means, and his mind should not be simple, and he needs to be added to the warning list.

"So, what are you going to buy?" At this time, Xius on the side stood up and asked. Today, most of the city's exports to the outside world, especially Yorkshire's supplies, including salt, are the responsibility of Hughes. And the next thing is to let Theseus and Townsk come to talk, and King Pullen is the final gatekeeper.

Tonsk glanced at the armor on Ni's body, the exquisite workmanship, streamlined shape, full of craftsmanship and metal beauty. There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece that represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the royal city of Pullen.

"If I want to buy this armor, how many sets can you sell?" Townske asked.

Hughes thought about it, he didn't know anything about the production of the Pulon King's City, especially some of the details of the Iron Bureau. Therefore, at this time, it was up to King Pullen to answer: "This kind of armor should only look at the style, and you should understand how complicated and cumbersome the craftsmanship is. So I'll sell you up to two sets a month, and if you're unlucky, you might not even have one. ”

"But don't worry, if you're willing to pay a deposit in advance, we can also guarantee that at least one set of armor will be sold to you every month." King Pullen said.

The armor on Ni's body is actually a milestone creation of the first attempt at plate armor technology in the Pulen King City, and after nearly a year of exploration, the craftsmanship of the Pulen King City has gradually approached a perfect technology, and it is now beginning to seek new breakthroughs with common sense.

However, the plate armor technique is much more difficult than expected, and more importantly, it is far more resource-intensive and time-consuming than making ordinary armor. Basically, with the current resources and manpower, the production of five sets of this rudimentary version of the full-body covered heavy armor per month is already the limit.

"So what's the price?" Townske asked.

"The craftsmanship of this kind of armor is at least three times that of ordinary chain mail, and the price is naturally several times higher. The asking price of an ordinary pair of chain mail on the market now is also hundreds of silver coins, and the asking price of our Glory Rose Armor in Pulon Royal City is naturally between 2000 silver coins ~ 3000 silver coins. If you want, we can sell it to you for 200 gold per armor. ”

Two hundred gold coins?! Townsk was shocked by the price on the spot, what is the concept of two hundred gold coins in this era? It's basically equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary wealthy nobleman for a year! Not to mention that Donsk didn't dare to agree to this price casually, even if Robert himself came, he would probably hesitate.

"The price...... It's a bit ....... Townske twitched, his face a little embarrassed. To be honest, although he could see the extraordinaryness of this suit just by looking at it, he didn't expect that even its price would be so "extraordinary", and it did hit Donsk more or less.

"Can't afford it? That's okay, in that case, we can recommend another style of equipment to you. ”

King Pullen beckoned to one of the soldiers outside the house. I saw a Pandora city guard with five big and three thick, wearing Pulun standard leather armor, holding a spear in his hand, and a waist knife pinned to his waist.

When Donsk saw it for the first time, he was immediately attracted, this kind of leather armor is naturally much worse than the one on Ni's body, but the key is that this kind of leather armor is light in weight, strong in defense, and the style is also very good-looking. After uniform coloring, it has an indescribably oppressive momentum.

Looking at the weapon pinned to the soldier's waist and the iron spear he held in his hand, although the English also had their own spearmen, compared to the cold light in their hands, the iron spear with abnormal sharpness was simply heaven and earth. It's not that it's about showing off or not showing off, but the gap in the craftsmanship is too big.

The spears in the royal city of Pulun are all made of 100 smelted iron, and it doesn't matter if they are usually placed in the warehouse for three or four years, they are still extremely sharp when they are taken out and wiped and sharpened when needed. And the kind of spear used by the English, not to mention that it has been in the warehouse for several years, it is difficult to pierce a pile of thick mud after a few more heavy rains!

"This kind of ......," Townske asked, pointing to the leather armor worn by the city guards, "how much does it cost to buy this?" “

"This kind of is cheaper, leather armor 100 silver coins. If you still need to buy weapons, the Iron Spear is 30 silver, the long knife is 50 silver, and the coloring fee and transportation fee are combined, and each set will be sold to you for 20 gold coins. “

"How many sets can you get us in a month?" Townske asked again. At present, Robert's army is honestly lacking the equipment of the soldiers, except for food. Because the army that supported Robert was not very well equipped, it was impossible for the local nobles to spend much effort on the troops composed of untouchables, and they all spent a lot of energy taking care of the knights under their command.

However, at present, Robert's wealth is second only to King William II of England among all lords, and even in England his assets are nearly 5,000 gold coins, not to mention that he still has a large territory in France, and the annual tax revenue can bring him a lot of money.

In addition, most of the forces that support Robert are mainly local nobles, and their financial resources are not too weak, and they can scrape together more than 10,000 gold coins if they want, so their funds are still quite rich.

"If you really want to, we can sell 50~100 sets of leather armor every month, which is already our maximum output. However, if it's just to buy weapons, then we can supply them in unlimited quantities. “

King Pullon glanced at Theseus, who nodded, and he was already calculating the cost of transportation back and forth.

"........." Townsk fell into thought, Robert only allocated 200 gold coins to him as activity funds for this trip, and at present, these 200 gold coins can only order 10 sets of Pullen leather armor at most, and what is the use of only ordering equipment to arm 10 people?

For Robert's thousands of troops, as well as the thousand defenders stationed in London and the hundreds of mercenaries from France, it would be a blink of an eye to take out these ten men.

The key is to arm the numbers of people......

After thinking about it carefully, Townsk really loved this weapon in the royal city of Pullen. But for a while, he couldn't afford to buy these weapons and equipment with such a large amount of money. In addition to being distressed, he suddenly thought of a good solution!

"Dear King Pullen, I only mention you on behalf of my master Robert. I wonder if you can bring me back a set of equipment and weapons to my master? If my master agrees, then his decision will be of great benefit to you and me. And here, I am willing to pay 100 gold coins as a deposit, if we reach an agreement in the future, this will be regarded as a deposit, what do you think? “

King Pullen nodded and agreed to Tonsk's construction. The king then ordered the guards to take out a suit of armor and weapons from the storehouse and give it to Donsk.

Townske thanked him again, and he couldn't wait to retire immediately, intending to rush back overnight to report the news to his master.

As for the issue of grain, Townske said that if his master, Count Robert, agreed to the deal, then the next time the issue of grain would be discussed along with the price. And Tomsk also secretly said that the probability of success of this deal is very high.

"That...... On the issue of weapons, can we also talk about it? “

Just as he had sent Townske away, the voice of the Scottish envoy suddenly came from behind him.

King Pullen, Ni, and Theseus each smiled.

Staring at the Scottish messenger with the eyes of a lamb, Theseus grinned.

"- Of course, very welcome."

Afterwards, the Scottish envoy, like Robert's envoy, first took out a part of the deposit, and then hurried back to Scotland overnight to report the matter to the king. Although there was less than half a month before England officially declared war on Scotland, if the hands and feet were quick, the first batch of weapons and food from the royal city of Pullen would likely arrive in Scotland on the third day of the war. At that time, the Scottish berserkers, armed with these elite weapons, will become even more difficult to destroy in the face of the English attack, delaying the rise of the Pullen royal city for enough time.

(ps: It has been written at the beginning that this is two weeks before the start of the war, and if you don't understand, you can go back and read the beginning.) ）

The reason why King Pullen dared to boldly sell the active equipment of his army was actually because the technology of King Pullen had broken through a layer of innovation, and new standard equipment had been released. Unlike the heavy units of the March Legion, this time the main thing is leather armor, but iron armor has been added to various parts.

In particular, the second version of the October Legion standard helmet has new items such as iron shoulder pads and bracers, as well as iron face guards. The mask was developed primarily for the "desert warfare" of the Pulon Castle, which eliminated the need to tie sackcloth during battle.

Within a few days, for some reason, the news that the city of Pulen had begun to sell weapons to the outside world was suddenly known to those merchants from all over the world. Suddenly, a large number of merchants began to demand that the Pulon King City open equal trade to them, and every merchant here was not a fool, and they could see that the weapons of the Pulon King City far exceeded the best swords that other countries could make.

The Puron King City also took this opportunity to send its own weapons to the market, and gave some of the Pulun standard leather armor-I to those merchants that had been eliminated, and then with the help of the mouths of these merchants who traveled around the European continent, the weapons and equipment of the Pulon King City began to be sold to the outside world.

It is believed that it will not be long before every country on the European continent will see the craftsmanship of the Pulon King's City, and then a large amount of money and orders will flock to the Pulon King's City from all over the world. When the time comes, the strength of the royal city will be doubled again and again under the tide of this era! At that time, the five-year plan of the Intramural Navy will be realized, and the plan to form a heavy knight unit can also be put on the agenda!

However, before that, there was still a scourge that had been squeezed in front of the city of Pullon to solve.

Two days later, King Pullen received a report from the front.

The Prince of Wales had gathered two thousand soldiers and had set out from Krobelin, and his army was coming straight to Pandora.
