Rand has the blood of the Capetian family, and although he is temporarily assigned to the barren Empty Ferry Domain, Lanilus feels that with Rand's magical creativity, sooner or later he will have to return to the Imperial City to take on important positions.

Lanelous felt that his guess could be bolder, and that the Duke of Winton title might also be inherited by Rand in the future.

Judging from the current situation, compared to Ron and Bran, Rand does not have a particularly obvious advantage in strength, especially compared to Ron's Lindong City, Rand's air collar is more shabby, but sometimes you can't just look at the superficial things, after digging deeper, Lanneruth feels that Rand's advanced creativity is the key to his hegemony.

Fusiliers.

Lanilus opened the wooden box next to him, took out the flintlock pistol that Rand had given him, and carefully wiped it with a deerskin.

Golden veins and delicate **, this flintlock pistol has passed through Lanilus's accessories, and it looks more and more gorgeous, not like a weapon, but more like a work of art.

Perhaps he should have taken a batch of flintlock pistols from Rand and resold them everywhere, believing that the nobles must have been very interested in this new long-range weapon, and Rannylus still remembers the excitement he felt when he first came into contact with flintlock pistols.

The smoke of gunpowder, the dazzling firelight, and the target dozens of meters away fell in response.

The usefulness of this long-range weapon is too strong, but its price is indeed very high, except for some big nobles, like other militia and small families simply can't afford it.

And as the driving force, the consumption of black ** is also very large, the ** configuration of this characteristic is only made by Rand, after buying a flintlock pistol, it is necessary to continuously send rand ****, this one alone is enough for Rand to make a lot of money.

The Lenilus family, as middlemen, was naturally able to reap some benefits from this, and in this era, jewelry, luxury goods and furs were not as profitable as the arms business.

It's just that in the arms business, you also need strong troops to act as a backstage, otherwise those big warlords are likely to directly hack your goods.

Although the Peruvian family's military strength was considered medium in the south, it was not worth mentioning compared to the warlords in the north, and the merchant families who started by doing business could not compare with pure warlords.

But now it's different, his cooperation with Rand is equivalent to taking the big ship of the Capet family, although the Duke of Winton may not pay much attention to the affairs of the air ferry territory, and even does not know the existence of the Peruvian family, but this does not affect himself at all to pull the tiger skin of the Capet family as a banner, with such a powerful and terrifying family as a partner, Lenny Ruston feels that he has grown a lot of confidence.

"When I get back, I'll talk to my father as soon as possible. Lanilus rubbed his fingers, he had secretly made up his mind that he must persuade his father to agree to his proposal, this is a rare opportunity, flintlock pistols have not yet become popular, and if the Peruvian family grabs the sales rights in their own hands first, then they will have a head start in the future field.

Although he is a businessman, he also knows exactly how much the flintlock pistol, a new weapon, will have on the battlefield of the future.

Within 100 meters is the range.

And the operation is very simple, even I, who has never been in contact with a weapon since childhood, can master how to use it in ten minutes.

It's easy to get started, which is a very important point.

In this day and age, it was time-consuming to train a qualified soldier, especially a cavalryman.

Practice using a spear, a knight's sword, a short knife, and a blunt weapon designed to pierce armor.

These few weapons alone are enough for a soldier to practice for several years.

The flintlock pistol is completely different, as long as you master the reloading, you can use it with any farmer.

"The direction of the future development of weapons of war will definitely be simpler to operate and more extensive to strike in," Lanilus remembered what Rand had told him, and remembered that when he said this, Rand's eyes were strangely shining, fanatical and determined.

Does he want to use himself to change the war situation that has been inherent in this continent for thousands of years?

If someone else had said this, Ranyrus would have laughed and mocked him for being too self-conscious, but when this came out of Rand's mouth, Ranylus didn't feel any ridiculousness at all.

Rand has a magical power that makes people believe in him and follow him.

Just as Rannyrus was about to leave the cabin and go to the deck to breathe, he suddenly felt the speed of the ship slow down.

"What's going on?"

A response soon came from outside the cabin.

"Your Excellency, there is a boat blocking the road in the waters ahead. The captain of the guard walked in, "I can't see their flags clearly, but their target seems to be us, and they have begun to move closer to our fleet!"

Is it a pirate?

Lanilus furrowed his eyebrows, no, it can't be! I hadn't heard of pirates near Blu-ray City, and the terrain wasn't suitable for concealment.

"Did they have any intent to attack?"

"I saw that their decks were full of soldiers. The captain of the guard's voice was a little low, the other side had more than a dozen boats, and he must surpass himself in the number of soldiers, "My lord, do you want to prepare for an attack?"

Ranilus's face was cloudy, the other party was obviously eyeing him, although the intention was unknown, but from the fact that the other party's ship was full of soldiers, it could be seen that the other party had absolutely bad intentions.

"Order, everyone stay on alert!"

Lanilus pushed open the door to the cabin, his hair tossed in the oncoming breeze, and he struggled to keep his eyes open and look upstream.

Fifteen large ships stood above the water, like towering mountain peaks, blocking the route of Lanilus's return journey.

The deck was full of sword-wielding soldiers, the cold light shimmering, and the number was at least five hundred, which was almost ten times more than his own soldiers.

On the two large ships at the head, Lanilus even saw a few improvised catapults.

Damn! The other party put on this position, it seems that it will definitely not be so easy to leave today!

The other party's large ship slowly moved along the water, slowly approaching the merchant ship of Lanilus.

"This flag is ......" Ranilus's pupils constricted suddenly, he stared at the big flag on the ship at the head, and five pitch-black stars soared into the sky on the white underside, "Black Star Family!"

Lanilus felt his palms sweat a little, since the other party was from the Black Star family, then he probably knew where the other party came from.
