Chapter 174: The Iron Devil (Part II)
In the rising flames, the light red surface of the giant battleship gradually turned into a fiery red color, and the helmet eyes lit up with two eyes that seemed to be burning, and then as if they had life, they suddenly jumped high, raised their hands above their heads in mid-air, gathered the flames of the whole body in the palms, turned into two giant swords the size of sabers, and slashed to the ground.
After a deafening loud bang, the flames overflowed, and when all the dust fell to the ground, a large pit with a width of nearly two zhang and a height of a foot appeared in the square.
And after showing such superb jumping ability and sharp blows, the iron giant ran nimbly like a rabbit, and made tumbling dodges and slashing movements while running, which made people marvel.
Scipio in the distance at this time caught a glimpse of Zhang Huansheng beside him looking at the Iron Devil with straight eyes, and his face couldn't hide the shocked color, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "Your Excellency, this is the strength of Carthage's 'Elemental Armor', with a jump height of more than a hundred cubits, the ability to stay in the air for a short time, and their agile running speed and flexible movements, making them have the combat ability of all land terrains.
Moreover, when a warrior is practicing martial arts, he can't see that if he is assembled into an army, even if there is only one team or ten people, the cooperation in the middle can make the Iron Devil's strength surge on the battlefield..."
"All right, Marshal Scipio," Zhang Huansheng came back to his senses when he heard this, and interrupted Scipio's explanation with a wry smile, "just what I saw in front of me already made me worry about whether the money and treasures I brought could be exchanged for the Iron Devil's training method. ”
Hearing him say so bluntly, Scipio smirked, "As long as you come with sincerity, everything can be discussed, Your Excellency."
After we have enjoyed the performance of the Iron Devil, please show us how much 'sincerity' you have. ”
In this way, after the warriors of Western Qin demonstrated the heroic posture of the 'Elemental Armor' in the battle on the square of the Carthaginian palace, Zhang Huansheng and Scipio came to a secret room under the palace and began to bargain.
First of all, after seeing the nine sets of spell scrolls that Zhang Huansheng showed that could build a city in half a day, 100,000 one-foot-square copper ingots and black iron ingots, Scipio said that it was insufficient, and forced Zhang Huansheng to polish 50,000 gold beads, 30,000 catties of silver and 15,000 pieces of polished crystal... Removed from the storage beads;
Then he knew that the necessary thing for the formation of the elemental armor, the iron core, was only more than 3,000, that is to say, even if the transaction was completed, Zhang Guo could only compile more than 3,000 iron devils, and replaced it with Zhang Huansheng who was extremely dissatisfied, and finally Scipio could only offer all the documents of Carthage about the elemental armor, as well as all the damaged iron core fragments and armor recovered on the battlefield, as an additive;
Later, Zhang Huansheng said that in addition to the strong infantry troops, he also wanted to train a strong army of iron cavalry, and asked Scipio to help, but Scipio neither agreed nor refused, just blindly vague...
Time was delayed and passed slowly, and before I knew it, it had been more than half a month since Zhang Huansheng arrived in Xiqin.
After lunch that day, he calculated that the bottom line of both sides had been tested for the most part, so he asked the servant to invite Scipio, who had been busy with colonial affairs since the last two days and was no longer talking secretly with Zhang Huansheng all day, and after gossiping for a few words, he said in a solemn voice: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I am sure that you must have a way to help me form a strong cavalry army.
Now, I'm going to say the biggest price I can pay for it.
That is a beam of 'ancestral fire', a beam of Yanhuang ancestral fire that can create at least a thousand miles of pure land in the wilderness.
With the nine sets of spell talismans for building the city, it is the most important treasure of the Yanhuang Dynasty's baronial title. ”
When Scipio heard this, his always calm face couldn't help but change, and he looked at Zhang Huansheng with wide eyes and said in a lost voice: "Your Excellency, you are just a nobleman of the baronial rank in Yanhuang, how can you still have such a treasure!"
Even if you do, why not use it yourself? ”
In fact, it is no wonder that he is so frightened, after all, in the east, west, south, and north continents where the human race thrives, all the different kinds of rare treasures are added together, and 10,000 people can ask what the most precious thing is, as long as there are no idiots among them, there must be only one answer, that is, it can create a pure land in the wilderness without any trouble.
Although Western Qin is a republic, there is no aristocracy on the bright side that divides the territory, but if someone or a certain family has the ability to create a pure land in a wild land and build a city-state, as long as the name is called a manor, it will be protected by law, and no one can violate it openly, in fact, it will be regarded as an uncrowned king.
In particular, conquerors like Scipio could have been given the position of governor of Carthage if they were willing to give up their desire to be vice-consul of the Republic.
In this case, if he can obtain the Yanhuang Ancestral Fire, create a thousand miles of pure land on the edge of the Carthaginian border, and then use the city-building scroll to build nine cities, and then use the entire Carthage as the backing to stabilize and develop his 'manor', it is simply easy to obtain a strong private territory.
At that time, it absorbed more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of colonial Shuli who did not have the citizenship of Western Qin to become subjects, reclaimed 10,000 miles of fertile land, and trained a powerful private army, although it was not as prominent as the vice king of Western Qin, but it made the foundation of the family a hundred or a thousand times stronger, and truly became a noble family that could be compared with those ancient families of the republic.
Thinking of this, Scipio closed his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and when he opened his eyes again, he said in a deep voice: "Do you really have a treasure that can open up a pure land on the wild land, Lord Baron?" ”
The territory of Zhang Guo is all occupied by Zhang Huansheng's Yuanshen, and many cities in the territory are also created by him using the supernatural power that he has in the land occupied by the Yuanshen that can drive the natural power of heaven and earth, so the Yanhuang Ancestral Fire given by the Emperor of Great Chu and the talisman for the construction of the three counties and six yi are kept, which can be used as bargaining chips in exchange for the method of strong military training.
Seeing Scipio's heart, Zhang Huansheng relieved his heart and said: "Lord Marshal, how could I lie about such an important matter." ”
"Can you take it out for me to see?" Scipio's eyes flickered, and he asked with suppressed excitement.
"Such a treasure, but it can't be easily displayed," Zhang Huansheng smiled slightly: "Please tell me first, what do you plan to exchange for, can you?" ”
