The two sides looked at each other like this, and the guards under them were even more tense, such as Dore, who had even put their hands on the hilt of their swords.

Just when this atmosphere was extremely tense, the barbarian great shaman showed a smile on his face, and waved his hand to the barbarian generals behind him, letting them retreat.

Seeing that the barbarian great shaman had taken the initiative to compromise, Duke naturally nodded to Dol or Allen. After all, in this situation, he is at an absolute disadvantage in other people's territory, and Duke is naturally not stupid enough to be arrogant in this situation.

"It is worthy of being the son of Duke Otto, I have been his opponent for so many years, and sure enough, you have the same temperament as him. ”

The barbarian great shaman complimented, this kind of praise can be called the highest compliment for him, after all, Duke is not at the same level as him, but it shows that Duke has the temperament of an opponent.

What the barbarian great shaman didn't expect was that Duke shook his head and replied, "It's true that I am the son of Duke Otto, but I don't have the same temperament as him. Or to put it another way, in addition to my identity as the son of Duke Otto, you can seriously not regard me as a member of the Otto family. ”

"Oh, Viscount Duke, are you confident or arrogant?"

The barbarian great shaman asked with a sneer on his face, although he asked so, but in his eyes, he actually thought that Duke had a kind of young arrogance. It's true to be young and frivolous, but if Duke doesn't even want the identity and aura of the Otto family, it will be really arrogant and annoying.

"Neither, I just don't want to have anything to do with the Otto family. If I could, I'd rather be called Storm Lord alone. ”

"Storm Lord?" muttered the barbarian archshaman, who really didn't understand why Duke was doing this. However, he could tell from Duke's answer and expression that this guy might not really be that ignorant arrogance, but that he had an unclear story with Duke Otto.

"Well, I'm not interested in discussing your relationship with Duke Otto in the first place, so let's go back to the previous trade discussion. ”

"Since both of us are very eager to negotiate this deal, then we in the Silver Horde should also show the sincerity we deserve. We can not deliver all castrated horses, but we also can't deliver full stallions or mares. Well, our limit is 100 stallions and 100 mares, which will allow you to breed in Stormcastle, but it will not be a threat to us in a short period of time. ”

Hearing this suggestion, Duke shook his head directly, there are only two hundred stallions, according to the breeding rate of horses, Storm Castle wants to breed a cavalry force of 10,000 people, how young is that?

"No, this number is too small, Storm Castle needs at least a thousand each, a total of two thousand warhorses with breeding ability!"

In the face of Duke's lion's big mouth, the barbarian shaman didn't think about it either, and directly rejected Duke's request. However, Duke is also mentally prepared for this, negotiating business is nothing more than a process of mutual compromise, of course, the asking price should be raised a little at the beginning, so that there is room for slow talks.

However, Duke still had a killer trick that he didn't use, and after seeing the barbarian great shaman's refusal, he directly lifted a piece of black cloth on the ground, revealing a storm battle armor and a manganese steel sword underneath.

Duke directly picked up the two weapons and armor, and this action made the barbarian generals subconsciously take a step forward and look at Duke with a vigilant gaze, because his action was very much like wanting to assassinate and other irrational acts.

Seeing their defensive looks, Duke just smiled lightly: "Don't be nervous, we are trading partners, and we may even become friends in the future." And I won't make such stupid moves, that's the greatest sincerity I bring to the table!"

After Duke said this, he directly handed the weapon and armor in front of the barbarian great shaman. Seeing Duke's move, the barbarian great shaman did not hesitate at all, and took it directly from him.

In the cold land of the north, the barbarians are also facing the dual threat of the human empire and the beast race, and the weak have long been ineligible to survive. The barbarian great shaman naturally can't be a greedy person who is afraid of death, and he is still not afraid of Duke's plot when he takes any weapon.

And with the strength of the barbarian great shaman, unless Duke reaches the strength of at least a high-level great swordsman, it is possible to make an assassination action in this situation, otherwise it is self-defeating.

The barbarian great shaman carefully looked at the weapon armor handed over by Duke, and the expression on his face changed from initial confusion to surprise. In the end, I couldn't help but praise: "Good thing, this is definitely the top weapon and armor on the continent!"

"Of course, this is a weapon armor created by dwarven craftsmen, Your Excellency the Great Shaman, I believe you still have some understanding of the reputation of dwarven weapons. ”

Duke replied with pride on his face, if there is anything that makes him most proud of Storm Castle, in addition to the progress of the industrialization process of the hydroelectric factory, it is the weapon and the storm armor, this is not the armor or the weapon is anything special, but the smelting process behind it, and it can even be said that it represents the highest technology in the world's mass production and smelting, reaching the level of dwarves.

But in terms of output and efficiency, even ten dwarves can't compare to a magical blast furnace in Stormcastle. However, for those people who don't know outside, directly using the name of a dwarf can save a lot of things, and Storm Castle now has tens of thousands of dwarves, so you don't have to worry about others suspecting or investigating.

"You mean, these weapons are also part of your trade?"

The barbarian great shaman could probably guess what Duke meant, but he still couldn't believe that Duke would trade such a sophisticated Stormkeep weapon. You must understand that if this kind of thing is taken into the hands of the barbarians, then the threat to the human empire will be amazing!

"That's right, didn't the Great Shaman say that the war horse is a double-edged sword for you, it is simply the most powerful weapon in your hands, and it is in our hands. ”

"In the same way, now I can tell you that this is the most powerful weapon produced by our Storm Castle, and even by human beings, except for those hand-crafted divine weapons, I can guarantee that the standard equipment of any empire on the continent is at most comparable to the weapons and equipment of our Storm Castle!"

"Your Excellency the Great Shaman, now that we have also handed over the most powerful weapons to you, can we continue to talk about the war horse deal?"

After Duke said this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
