Chapter 10: Temptation of One Another
"Sure enough, it's the same as His Majesty Caesar's words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liuke laughed and withdrew the quenched dagger, touched his chest with one hand, bowed in an impeccable posture, and when he looked up again, a warm smile had already appeared on his face:
"Your Excellency Marquis, I have offended a lot in order to verify my identity before, I hope you don't mind. ”
"I understand, is it possible to talk about business now?" The black-haired knight knew the other party's distress, so he naturally didn't care about this trivial matter.
"Arms and weapons...... To tell you the truth, there has always been a shortage of generals in our various tribes, how many of them can be eaten, I don't know what kind of weapons you can bring us?"
Liu Xue looked at him with a burning smile, his smile was a little hot, and he did not hide the expectation in his heart.
......
Since the era of the Millennium War, there have been two main types of weapons in Atlasu, which originated in the Age of Magical Miracles, and Tinder weapons, which originated in the Age of Glorious Torches.
The former originated in the Iberian Peninsula and was carried forward by mages, who once conquered the Atrium to the east and colonized the New World to the west, creating a splendid magical civilization with advanced magic costumes.
The latter originated in the Apennine Peninsula, and by co-opting and splitting a group of mages, absorbing the characteristics of magic weapons, the knights carried forward the fire weapons powered by the fire of life. Defeated the enemy and drove them out of the World Island, restored the empire and expanded it to its peak, and even attacked the New World several times, creating a powerful Torch civilization.
Until now, the weapons of the two systems are still fighting against each other, absorbing each other, and constantly developing.
In addition to these two weapons, there are also a large number of non-mainstream weapon systems, including the Celtic Rune system, the Frankish iron furnace system, the Correa four-god system, the Valhalla system of the three Baltic states, and so on.
Among them, most of them have been dying with magic weapons and fire weapons, because of the difference in performance, no one wants to use them, and there is basically no possibility of revival.
Only the Valhalla, Rune, and Papal States' Artifacts are able to remain intact in the face of the two main weapon systems because of their own characteristics.
The non-mainstream is the most vigorous in the holy weapon system of the Pope's state, and the holy weapon system, also known as the stigmata armament, is an artifact-like weapon developed by the Catholic Church to absorb the fire worship civilization of the Achaemeni Empire and the Makmuk Death Civilization. Stigmata is characterized by its long manufacturing cycle, inability to be mass-produced, and narrow applicability, but it is not inferior to mainstream weapons.
The armament of the magic suit system and the tinder system not only has a short manufacturing cycle and strong applicability, but also can be mass-produced.
Federation magic weapons are characterized by their sophistication and superior performance, and they are available in a wide variety of genres, from single-player weapons to crossover heavy artillery. But the disadvantage is that it consumes energy and is expensive.
Most weapons are scrap metal without sufficient magic stone drive, and magic stones are not a cheap thing, but heavy magic armor is burned in pounds and pounds of magic stones, so the Federation itself can't afford it, let alone some poor countries.
Imperial Tinder weapons are characterized by a comprehensive system, powerful firepower, and durability.
It also has all the technology from solo weapons to boundary weapons, but it is very urgent in terms of fine special weapons, such as the war paint detector in the magic weapon - I don't know if it has been mixed with the knights for a long time, and has been contaminated with too many stupid and rough habits. The Imperial Mage Master has a great talent in firepower, and he is far ahead, but he simply can't replicate a small war paint detector.
In addition to the inadequacy of special weapons, there is also a slight deficiency in accuracy and remote control, which is superior only in firepower and armor.
However, in terms of applicability, the Tinder weapons must be fully exploded Demon Weapons, and most of the Tinder weapons can be used as long as they ignite the fighting spirit, and they inherit the characteristics of the Rossevian people - the leather is durable, easy to maintain, and will not be damaged easily.
This series of characteristics means that the cost performance of Tinder weapons is far higher than that of magic weapons, especially in the eyes of the leaders of the rebels in the New World, Tinder weapons are simply the conscience of the industry.
A rapid-fire cannon can be used repeatedly, and there is no fear of ammunition consumption, anyway, there is no shortage of fighters with fighting spirit. And due to the fact that the Fire of Life restricts almost all energy, the effect of using the Tinder Weapon to dry the Demon Weapon is particularly good.
As for accuracy, the performance gap of tens of miles and millimeters is not a matter at all in the eyes of the leaders of the rebel army -- fighting a war is not a matter of sniping and sniping, and what should be done so accurately, firepower is the highest standard for measuring the performance of weapons.
All in all, the tinder weapon is good, the tinder weapon is wonderful, the operation is simple and not brain-burning, the multi-person burst saves ammunition, the long-lasting ferocity is super durable, the fire bomb is emptied and the magic cover is broken, and the federal dog howls!
......
It was for these reasons that Lyucco Cesar paid special attention to this meeting with Yare, knowing that the man in front of him would not only provide the rebels with enough weapons, but also that the price would be discounted.
"So let's get started with weapons. ”
As the black-haired knight spoke, a golden light mark cracked in the center of his eyebrows, and a silver tubular weapon fell into his hand, which he handed directly to the other party:
"This is the most common rapid-fire cannon in the Empire, driven by a fighting spirit, with constant power, and one shot is one shot. The range depends on the level of the warrior, and a single shot can drain all the stamina of a normal warrior, and as a supplement, its power can threaten the unarmored Scourge Knight. ”
"Look at this delicate shell, the sturdy barrel, and this cold and heavy feel...... "Liuke touched the barrel of the rapid-fire cannon like a lover, and exclaimed with satisfaction:
"I've heard how powerful this weapon is against monsters, and I guess it has the same effect against spell shields, and I can already imagine the Federation warriors being vulnerable to it. ”
"Yes, it seems that you have a lot of research on tinder weapons...... This is a long-barreled sniper gun and a short-barreled scattering gun. Two more weapons appeared in the hands of the black-haired knight.
A long and narrow barrel, twice as long as a rapid-fire gun, but only half of the caliber, with a crosshair, sights, silencers on it, and a pair of bipods below, the douqi input is placed at the end, and it can be fired when pressed down.
One is the structure of a small chimney, the port has a flared diffuser, inside the port is nine fine injection holes, and there is a mobile bracket that can adjust the angle 180 degrees below, and the dou gas input is also at the end, rotating and firing.
"Advanced single-player equipment, it can snipe at any target within ten miles, it is very accurate, powerful, and can penetrate three inches of alloy material. Archers are a must-have in the Imperial army, and there should be such a talent in the rebels, so it is only fitting to use it to assassinate Alliance officers. ”
Yalei first raised the long-barreled cannon, and after a brief introduction, he picked up the short-barreled cannon: "This is a single-man explosive equipment, one input, nine scattered shells, and can be high-altitude projectile, which has a miraculous effect on the alliance army that relies on the city wall to defend." ”
"Your Excellency the Marquis is really well prepared this time......
Liu Ke glanced at his eyebrows in surprise, put the rapid-fire cannon on the desk, stretched out his hands and took the long-barreled cannon with some difficulty, shook it on his shoulder, and suddenly took a breath:
"This weight...... Isn't it a bit too much......"
"Of course not, the performance of the long-barreled cannon determines that it can only be a sharp weapon in the hands of high-level warriors, and a warrior of that level will not care about this weight. The black-haired knight patiently explained.
"Okay, good. ”
Liu Ke put down the long-barreled cannon, and couldn't wait to take the short-barreled cannon, stroking the streamlined silver cylinder, his eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly:
"Your Excellency Marquis, you only introduced the performance, and it seems that you forgot to quote, right?"
"Can I think this is a sign that you're interested in contacting the buyer?" Areley looked away from the stub, a smile full of "goodwill" on his face.
"Yes, they will be interested. Liuko nodded without hesitation.
"The original price of the rapid-fire cannon is 1 million soles, the friendship price is 900,000, the original price of the long-barreled cannon is 3 million, the friendship price is 2.8 million, the short-barreled run is 3.5 million, and the friendship price is 3.3 million. Order more than 100 doors 95% off, 500 doors or more 95% off, 1,000 doors or more 85% off, the transportation cost is ours. The black-haired knight immediately quoted the price that had been brewing for a long time.
In the past, the cost price of a rapid-fire gun was about one million, but now due to systematic and standardized production, the cost has been reduced by half, but counting rigid expenses such as labor and management expenses, it has to be sold for 600,000 yuan to break even. Moreover, he flew across the sea to send it over, and he also had to bear the transportation fee and smuggling risk, and the price of selling it was really not expensive, and it could even be regarded as a conscience price.
"I love the weapons of the Empire, and at the same time, I think your offer is reasonable. ”
Liu Ke hugged the weapon in his hand slightly, just right to show a hint of embarrassment:
"But as you know, the rebels have been resisting the Federation's colonial war for more than a decade, and the consumption is very high. Therefore, can it be seen that for the sake of many years of friendship, the price is slightly discounted. ”
"I can understand the resistance's efforts, but I'm sorry, this price is the limit of what I can tolerate. Yalei bowed his head in understanding, with a look of agreement on the surface, and in his heart he thought his words were all farts.
"That's a shame......"
Liu Ke frowned, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "As far as I know...... There should be no other sales channel for His Excellency Marquis's arms other than us, right?"
"I have an army, in fact, my army is the bulk of the order. A smile appeared in the black-haired knight's eyes, he knew that the other party might use the buyer's market to bargain, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"Not necessarily. ”
Liuke raised his head, rubbed the short-barreled cannon in both hands, and said with a calm expression: "If Your Excellency's army can digest these weapons, why should you cross the Atlantic Ocean and come to find mere subordinates?"
"Who thinks they have a lot of income? My territory needs money to build, and smuggling arms speeds up the process, that's all. ”
Yalei did not let up at all, he knew very well that once he compromised and showed cowardice, the other party would be able to take advantage of the situation and have the upper hand in future transactions.
The smile on Liuke's face gradually converged, his eyes were as sharp as the tip of a needle, and he looked at him calmly. The black-haired knight also smiled silently, and looked at him with eyes like eagles and wolves, like predators observing their prey.
This is the confrontation between strength and courage, and in this case, it is natural that the strong one has a comparative advantage. Under the conscious coercion of Yalei, Liuke felt like a prey with nowhere to escape, and the thoughts in his heart seemed to be cut open by an invisible blade and placed directly in front of the other party, with a feeling of having nothing to hide.
"Hahahaha!"
He could only tilt his head and end the confrontation with a series of deliberate laughs, then looked back at the black-haired knight and said with a sincere face:
"His Excellency the Marquis is a hero of the holy war, and after returning from victory, he shepherds one side for the god monarch, and even more coercs the high ground, fighting a country with one person. The fame for thwarting the Alliance's conspiracy, removing the Pope's wings, ending the scourge and saving the Celts is far and wide, even in the City of Flash, thousands of miles away, I have heard of it and admired it in my heart. A person like Your Excellency, who is willing to meet with me, is too late to be grateful, how can he doubt your offer?"
It's better to say than to sing, you really admire me so much, then don't bargain and buy it in one go...... But there is some truth to that...... This guy is quite knowledgeable.
There is no modesty in the dictionary of the black-haired knight, sugar-coating, cannonballs are not answered, and waiting for the other party's next words, anyway, he will definitely not compromise so obediently.
"But let's not hide it, our cash flow is really difficult, if you are willing to give some credit...... Of course, we can sign a contract, and after it expires, we must repay it in full with interest!" Liu Ke's words were really eloquent, and his words were sincere, and people couldn't help but feel pity and sympathy.
"If you don't have any money, forget it. ”
The black-haired knight stepped forward, opened the realm of fear, and immediately withdrew his weapon and prepared to leave - the contract signed by the smuggler was useless, not binding, and gave it to the people.
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Ke was really anxious when he saw that Yalei was soft and hard, so he hurriedly blocked in front of him, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Your Excellency the Marquis, don't be in a hurry, we can talk slowly." ”
"There is no room for compromise in terms of price, I think you also know the official offer of these weapons, my price, I have already ceded a lot of benefits, and it cannot be reduced. ”
Yalei sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and came with a set of emotional-for-tat:
"The Empire of the Tower King Tinsyu Empire is deeply impressed, and we are both enemies of the Federation, so we will not and cannot sit idly by and watch the suffering of the rebels. It is not easy for you to resist in such a situation for fourteen years, and when I first faced the Highland Kingdom, I often inspired myself with the spirit of the rebels. Now when I think of your difficult situation, I can't help but feel sad. Let me ask, how could I deliberately raise the price to harm you?"
"Your Excellency the Marquis!" Lyucco looked moved, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.
"Mr. Liuko!" the black-haired knight also had crocodile tears streaming down his face. (To be continued.) )
