Chapter Seventy-Three: Reasons for Persuasion
Chapter 73: Reasons for Persuasion (Page 1/1)
Sinclair grinned at Ansaldo, then ran his hand into his knuckles, making a rattling sound.
Ansalda then remembered that there was a group of dwarven troops brought by these people outside, who were confronting his warriors. He still didn't understand where these dwarves outside the dwarven kingdom came from.
Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands on his chest: "During the last war for the throne of the Dwarf Kingdom, your two princes competed to sell their people as commodities to the Black Dragon Empire in exchange for various weapons, food, and golems.
The four golems you brought with you today are the result of the transaction at that time. And the dwarves you just saw are the descendants of the dwarves who were traded. After they were bought by the Black Dragon Empire, the lucky ones became the slaves they used to make the golems, and the unlucky ones were directly siphoned off their souls, and then turned into golems or even test specimens. This hatred is deep. What do you think they would do if they were given a chance to take revenge on the dwarven nobles?"
"Don't think that your weapons are so good that they can really do anything. You have only the descendants of a few slaves in your hands, how many can you have, and you have to deal with the entire kingdom of the dwarves!" Ansaldo exclaimed.
Xiao Chen said: "Our tower of China fights, and people have always fought more and more. How loyal do you think your soldiers are to you? How much do you think the civilians in your city love you? No, they just don't have a better choice, so they can only be ruled by you. Just as your dwarven sailors have just fought our fleet, if given a choice, do you think they would be on the side of my pneumatic cannons or on the side of your crossbows? Guess who the civilians you are oppressing every day are willing to fight?"
When Ansaldo heard Xiao Chen's words, a cold sweat flowed behind his back. He hadn't seen how Xiao Chen's dwarven warriors fought, but he saw that the long barrels in the hands of these soldiers looked very similar to the devastating weapons on the ship, only a little different in size. If he fought against this group of warriors, he did not have the slightest confidence in his soldiers. As for the question of who Xiao Chen said he was fighting for...... , he knew very well that the dwarves were no longer the dwarves with a sense of honor before the Battle of the Two Kings.
In the early years, it was common for dwarves to shout for honor and charge forward with hammers. But now, the betrayal, the fighting, the purges between the two princes and brothers, including the bloody methods used by the victors to consolidate their rule for two hundred years, have made the dwarves very practical. There are few dwarves who fight for the dwarven kingdom anymore, and those who can fight for their families are real warriors, most of them fight for themselves at most, and many people are afraid that they will only flee without a fight.
Such an army is vulnerable to an enemy with superiority in strength. Even Ansaldo himself was a little ashamed, if the dwarves of two hundred years ago encountered the scene of today's port, I am afraid that their first reaction would be to rush up and fight the enemy, right? But he himself is now sitting in a room with the enemy half an hour ago "talking and laughing".
"What about when you meet with the High Priest of the Forge Temple? Ansaldo's words seemed weak.
"That'...... , how about the strength I give your family to be able to protect itself?" Xiao Chen's hand was a little in the air, and the appearance of a pneumatic cannon appeared there, "I can trade a batch of pneumatic cannons with you, that is, the weapon you saw me use to blow up the warehouse." I'm selling you a smaller variety, but even so, it's much more lethal to soldiers and buildings than swords. ”
Ansaldo looked at the image of the pneumatic cannon that was constantly rotating in the air, and asked with some excitement, "What you said is true?"
"Of course, as long as you do this for me, I can make the Tower of China establish a long-term cooperation with your Crowell City. The previous battle between the noble families was still a battle of strength in the final analysis, as long as you can obtain enough strength, not only will your family not be in danger, but you may be able to get more. Xiao Chen seduced.
Ansaldo slowly calmed down, the enthusiasm in his eyes began to dissipate, and he said hesitantly: "Sounds good, but I'm not stupid, I know that from the moment I traded with you, the source of this weapon in my hand was in your hands, right? As soon as there is a problem with the cooperation between us, it goes from my help to my noose. I, and my family, were thus tied to your chariot. ”
"Everything has a price. Xiao Chen did not deny the other party's statement, "But I think cooperating with us is the best path you can choose." It's also the best path you can choose for the dwarven race. ”
"Please wait a minute, this is too big a matter for me to discuss with some key people. Ansaldo hurried out of the room.
"Xiao Chen, isn't it a bit hasty for you to sell the pneumatic cannon directly to these guys?" asked Farrell with some concern.
Xiao Chen unleashed a soundproofing magic.
"Uncle Farrell, this is just the first step. ”
Luo Ling smiled on the side: "Uncle Farrell, don't worry, Xiao Chen's gift is not so easy to take. ”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "If these guys from the Dwarf Kingdom want to use weapons smoothly, it's useless to just buy them, and they also need to have supporting training." You should be well aware of how complicated the training process of gunners is, and they will have to call in our instructors when the time comes. And our instructors, of course, will tell those soldiers what the land under the rule of the Chinese Tower is like. His fighters will know how our people live, how they themselves live, what our fighters are treated, and what they themselves are treated. A little bit imperceptibly, what will happen to people's hearts at that time is not something that these nobles can say. These guys don't know how good the masses work. ”
Both Farrell and Sinclair have witnessed the transformation of ideas by the Tower of China. How Farrell's own sons and the children of the dwarves in Sinclair's village emerged from village to village farmer and miner into a staunch warrior against the gods of nature.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Ansaldo's future.
