Chapter 223: Intervention (I)
"You mean to say.................. Can you dispose of that annoying smash for me for free, so that my knights can fight on the front lines in peace? ā
As he said this, the Marquis of Timos looked at Robin suspiciously, he did not believe that Robin would make a decision that was not profitable for him. And in his opinion, although the team brought by Robin is strong, the number is too small, compared to the current large-scale xeno-human chaos in the empire, such a little combat power will not play a decisive role at all. In order to truly eliminate the alien chaos, it is necessary to suppress all the combat strength of the entire Tiger Battalion to be able to maintain it, but the military expenditure required for such a large-scale operation is definitely a huge astronomical amount. Robin had no reason to bear the expense for him without receiving any benefit, and as far as the Marquis of Timos knew, the Tiger Battalion, which was barely trying to make ends meet, could not afford it.
"No, of course it's not free." Robin smiled and shook his head.
"Humph! Hearing Robin say this, the Marquis of Timos's face suddenly turned cold: "Since it is not free, then what is the difference between me hiring you and hiring other mercenaries. ā
"Of course it's different, they ask for money, and we don't have to have money, you and your knights can use other resources and some special promises in lieu of payment, and that's what sets us apart from other replicant mercenaries." As he spoke, Robin looked confident, ignoring the surprised look on ao95's face.
Resource ......
The Marquis of Timos pondered for a moment, and he gradually began to understand what Robin meant.
"You want to mine the Mycenae Mine yourself in the knightly domain of the nobles under my command?"
"It's not just McCeni metal, it's other resources. Of course, I need to be an Exotic Lord, and I need to be licensed to operate in Brady's Planetary NUG Zone. ā
ā¦ā¦ Hum! n arrogant guy, you actually want to plunder the wealth of the nobility! nā
The Marquis of Timos glared at Robin viciously, he didn't expect that Yao Bin would have the audacity to offer such outrageous conditions.
"No, what I'm talking about is at best the future wealth of the nobles. Moreover, if the mutant chaos is allowed to spread further, the nobles under your command will not be able to get this future wealth either, and maybe even their own homes will be completely cleaned by the crazy mutant chaos" When Robin said this, he paused slightly, and saw a hesitant look on the face of the Marquis of Timos, and then said in an accented tone: "You see that when you and your warriors leave home to fight, my Tiger Battalion and I will guard your homeland for you, and while we work for you, You don't have to pay us a lot right away, so your finances are more relaxed and you can be more prepared, which is the most important thing for you. As for us, all you need to do is give us a little convenience and open mining rights for one to two years, and we can fight for you for free, and guarantee that you and your nobles will not be disturbed by mutant rebels. ā
"But if I do agree to the terms, then by the time we return from the campaign, our territory may have been devastated by over-opening. Beneath the planet's surface, it may be difficult to find even an ounce of mycenae metal. The Marquis of Timos's face seemed to be strongly dissatisfied, but Robin knew that the Marquis of Timos's heart was actually a little moved, which undoubtedly gave Robin more confidence.
"Lord Marquis, you have overestimated our mining capacity, and I can assure you that when you return, you will find that your resources are only a small minus. Of course, if you're not sure, I can even sign some agreements with you, but to work out the exact numbers, it may take some work like field exploration. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
After Robin said this, the Marquis of Timos was completely shaken in his heart.
Indeed, the plan that Robin said is a condition that no mercenary army can offer, those replicant mercenaries who have lost their masters on the battlefield of the extragalactic system are just a group of simple war machines, they don't even have their own logistics support system, if they are to be hired, then the Marquis of Timos will inevitably need to pay a lot of cash immediately, and this will definitely affect his preparations for the expedition to the extragalactic system, which is definitely a situation he does not want to see.
But if Robin had done so, the Marquis of Timos would no longer have such a problem. While Robin's claim for mining rights may actually be more expensive than hiring mercenaries directly, it doesn't require the Marquis of Timos and his nobles to pay immediately.
As long as this extragalactic conquest goes well, then they will definitely gain more from the war than they will pay Robin. And if the opposite is true, if they lose the battle due to insufficient preparation, then even the Marquis of Timos himself may be left with nothing.
From this point of view, the pros and cons between the two are already clear, and the Marquis of Timos has no reason to refuse such an offer.
However, what annoyed him a little was that the proposal was more akin to a collaboration than a hiring of a superior to a subordinate. Often, such an exchange of interests existed only between nobles and nobles. It was evident that such a mutually beneficial cooperation of such an equal status with a pariah, such as that of a nobleman of such high status, had clearly embarrassed him.
He could imagine that when his deal with Robin was exposed in aristocratic circles, it would inevitably attract ridicule from other nobles, which would be even more detrimental to his reputation.
The Marquis of Timos kept stomping back and forth in the main hall, desperately calculating the various gains and losses of completing this transaction. And looking at the anxious look of the Marquis of Timos, Robin knew that he had succeeded, and now, perhaps only a little more chips on his side could be the last straw that overwhelmed the ostrich.
"Lord Marquis, if you are still not satisfied with the terms I have proposed, then I am willing to provide you with the complete formula of the new advanced potion free of charge. I think this must be of great help to you. ā
"The full formula?"
Sure enough, after hearing Robin's bait, the Marquis of Timos couldn't help but stop.
In the Hoffman Empire, strength and wisdom are always the most precious things. Therefore, the Empire attaches far more importance to technology than any other human country in the galaxy, and directly speaking, if 1Ƭ Ona presents the advanced potion formula he has developed to the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences, he may even directly obtain a baron title. The system of the empire was extremely important to the preservation of scholars, so that even the Marquis of Timos could not obtain a new technology that had successfully proven its usefulness by means of cunning.
In his original plan, he just wanted to obtain the manufacturing rights of this new type of advanced potion, and by appointing scientific researchers to participate in the manufacturing, he could obtain a certain quota of advanced potion. He had never had the luxury of getting his hands on a complete recipe, as it meant that he could manufacture this highly effective advanced potion in unlimited quantities, and could even use it to monopolize a market.
"Are you sure he can make such a decision on your behalf?" The Marquis of Timos, breathing a little, stared at 1 Ć Ona, hoping to make sure through her that Robin was not joking.
"Yes, he can make any decision on my behalf, I have no objection." 1ì O Na calmly handed over all the rights to Robin, and didn't mind that Robin gave away at the moment may be an extremely precious ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
