Chapter 67: War Horse
Lu Shuang went to the official blog of the Seraphic Guild to take a look, and the news at the top of it was related to the attack on the third-level city. It mainly introduces the strong strength of the Seraphic Guild in the "real world" - of course, the strength on the surface, as well as the total number of people participating in this raider copycat, as well as some possible props and the like. In fact, having said so much, the last name is the point, and players who are confident in their own strength and willing to obey the deployment can join this operation, with a certain amount of rebates and death subsidies. Kill Rogue on the battlefield to earn points, and scrape together enough points to join their Seraphic Guild or exchange it for mystery gifts.
Having said so much, it seems that the Seraphic Guild doesn't have much of a foundation for this raider copycat. Lu Shuang thought to herself.
Any guild dares to launch an attack on a third-level cottage, and it will definitely organize a lot of people to test its strength in advance, since the Seraphic Guild has said with such fanfare that it will take down this cottage, it is estimated that there seem to be a lot of sure elements in it. A guild is like a company, it is fatal to invest blindly without certainty, and once it fails miserably, it may be that a lot of manpower, material and financial resources invested before will be wasted, even the god killer does not want to bear such a risk.
Lu Shuang is now thinking about how to intervene in this matter, elegantly and without showing his feet. The specific time is tomorrow, so Lu Shuang must make a decision to rush to Pengcheng as soon as possible, and also pay attention to not being exposed to his identity to reduce the risks encountered.
After brushing the comments of netizens, Lu Shuang did not waste time and logged in to the game directly. He is still sailing on the ship, but in addition to seeing the scenery, he is also able to meditate and practice internal strength. Although the bumps have a little impact on cultivation, it doesn't matter, as long as there is progress. Meditation and internal strength is like sleeping a night, and when you wake up, you are full of energy, which is better than sleeping.
As soon as he got off the ship and returned to Feitian Town, Lu Shuang received good news that Han Kang had found some buyers in Xiliang who were interested in weapons and equipment made in Feitian Town. Because Han Kang couldn't be the master of some specific matters, and the other party was a person with status, he asked Lu Shuang if he could take the time to go over and discuss the sale of this batch of equipment together.
"Han Kang, does the person who is interested in buying and selling know who it is?" Lu Shuang asked.
"Back to the lord, that person is very hidden, he just sent a downline to talk to his subordinates, he didn't show up at all, and his subordinates don't know who it is." Han Kang said.
"But looking at his downline, it doesn't seem like a Central Plains person." Han Kang added.
"Don't look like a native of the Central Plains? Isn't that the Qiang and Hu people? "Lu Shuang only knew that there were so many ethnic minorities in the Xiliang region at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"The man said there was a big deal to work with us, but only if no one else knew about it."
"Can't be known to anyone else? Is it so hidden? Han Kang, how did he find us at that time? Lu Shuang asked three questions in a row, this person was a little suspicious.
"It's a shame to say that after his subordinates went from Hailing to Jincheng in Liangzhou, they kept trying to talk to the government to negotiate business, but they didn't work out when they walked around. Just as I was about to leave for another place, the man suddenly appeared and said that he was willing to make this deal with us, provided that no news was leaked, and that I hope you would go and talk to him, because it involves a large amount of money. Han Kang told Lu Shuang everything about his experience at that time.
Lu Shuang felt that this matter was strange everywhere, to say that the local government of Jincheng has a blacksmith shop in the city, which can directly supply the army, so the blacksmith shop in the system city will not sell iron weapons and above to players, and he will also be responsible for the equipment of the army in the city. In this way, it is normal for Han Kang to be rejected in the past, and it is a waste of money to buy what he can make at home and buy it from others.
But when did Han Kang go to look for the officials in Jincheng, even Lu Shuang didn't know, and it didn't take long for that person to come to the door as soon as he came out, and it was unreasonable to say that there were no people or acquaintances of him in the official mansion. His style is not like a person in the government, but more like a local powerful force, who wants to buy a large number of weapons without the government. There are a lot of rebel bosses in Liangzhou, if that person doesn't report who is on his head, maybe Lu Shuang really can't guess it, it's really too much.
Compared with guessing the identity of the other party, Lu Shuang was more concerned about what he could get in this transaction. The sale of weapons is sold in the circle of players, and the court has no time to pay attention to your little friend's affairs, but if it is sold to the northern ethnic minorities, the nature is different, especially the Xiongnu Xianbei clan, and in serious cases, they may be convicted of treason. That person is not from the Central Plains, it is very likely that he is a local ethnic minority, if it is really so coincidental that the forces behind him initiate chaos, and then find out that it is the equipment he sells, he may be implicated.
But, driven by interests, who can refuse? Moreover, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not Lu Shuang's country, and he would rather sell weapons to foreign races than to foreign players. Just like if the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be divided into lineups, I believe that many players will choose the lineup of the Yellow Turban Forces, after all, similar story missions are only part of the game.
"Han Kang, what kind of equipment does that person want? How much? What do we get? "Lu Shuang must figure out what the person thinks before he can negotiate, and he can't be led by others.
This subordinate also asked, and the man replied that it was mainly equipment suitable for fifth- and sixth-order soldiers, and the more the better; Seventh- and eighth-order soldiers are also required, but the number is still huge, 50,000 sets of equipment for seventh-order soldiers, and 10,000 sets for eighth-order soldiers. ”
50,000 sets of equipment for 7th-order soldiers, 10,000 sets of equipment for 8th order soldiers, just let the iron sword tailors of Feitian Town do it without eating or drinking. Lu Shuang swallowed his saliva, it seems that this person is quite powerful.
Han Kang continued: "If the weapon is counted as 1, then the armor is 0.8 and the bow is 0.5, which means that 10 pieces of armor of the same level are equivalent to 8 weapons, and 10 bows of the same level are equivalent to 5 weapons. Of course, neither side could come up with that much money and equipment at once, so the man proposed to pay for it in installments, or even exchange the horses for the equipment. ”
Well? Steed?
Lu Shuang's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, although Xuzhou is the Central Plains region, but Guangling or Hailing County is relatively close to the Yangtze River, there are very few excellent war horses here, and the price is very expensive, and the cost of building a cavalry is not something that any player force can afford, unless you use the kind of family horse that Lu Shuang often rides, but that kind of horse wants to go to the battlefield...... Just talk about it.
The one in Xiliang in Liangzhou is different, there may not be many iron tools there, but the quality of the horses is not comparable here. Just imagine a Xiliang Iron Rider riding a horse tamed by the breeder of Feitian Town and a Xiliang Iron Rider riding a war horse that is a specialty of Xiliang, that is not comparable at all.
And listening to what Han Kang said, the forces behind that person seem to attach great importance to this batch of weapons, and the more the better, the more the better, what are the tens of thousands of sets of seventh- and eighth-order soldiers, etc., don't they know how high the cost of an eighth-order soldier's set of equipment is? Or is it really a tyrant who has money like dung?
Lu Shuang didn't know, but he was moved. Although the two sides have not yet negotiated the price, the equipment of some seventh- and eighth-order soldiers is not marketable at all, after all, there are really not many king-level blacksmiths, and some are also in the hands of the imperial court, and the king-level profession of Feitian Town, even Lu Shuang laughed when he said it. It is estimated that several good horses can be exchanged for a set of equipment of an eighth-order soldier, because horses can be said to be "beautiful and upright" in Xiliang, and for example, the production process of a full-body armor is very complicated, and it takes a king-level blacksmith to make a hundred steel blocks, and then the king-level tailor can complete a finished product with the assistance of several special tailors to the greatest efficiency. The steel gun is better, and the production process is simple, but because it is simple, it does not need the help of other special blacksmiths, and it takes a long time.
If time could come back, Lu Shuang was even willing to choose the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, at that time, it was because of the extreme lack of war horses, and then considering various factors that the Danyang Qingbing was chosen. Although the Danyang Qingbing is also good, the individual combat effectiveness is very strong, and it is worthy of any high-level special troops to fight one-on-one, but Lu Shuang still likes the feeling of charging into battle.
