The negotiations were deliberately arranged on the deck, in fact, although the cannon was heavy, it was not impossible to carry it to land, and Vlaar used this as an excuse to lure Rhodes to the ship to talk, and the whole ship was his own people, and when negotiating, it could also form an invisible deterrent and give the opponent a kind of psychological pressure.

"It looks good, but I don't know how powerful it is?"

Rhodes walked over to the Vlaar repeater and got a close-up look at the hulking giant. It looks very chunky and has an extremely elaborate construction compared to a normal gun. The bore was cast in bronze, the firing rack required five men to move, and the wheels at the bottom of the barrel were locked. According to Vlaar, it was to prevent excessive wind and waves at sea, which would cause the artillery to slide.

"It's infinitely powerful!"

Vlaar shouted happily, but a sinister smile flashed in the corner of his eye.

Rhodes only felt two black bars cross, and turned his head to stare at the great inventor with many titles in one.

"At least let me see the results?"

Rhodes said.

"You want to see the effect?" Vlaar turned to look at his surroundings, "So, my lord, where is the closest shooting range to here?" he asked seriously.

"In the suburbs, upstream of this river, your boat can't go in. By land, it takes about an hour. ”

"That's too much trouble, you're walking at a normal pace, and I'm going to have to carry it, so it's going to be a lot of work. ”

"Isn't there a wheel? Open the lock cylinder, and you can push it away normally. ”

Rhodes said.

"It's not that simple, you can walk, it's just too heavy, the speed is very slow, and it takes a dozen people to push it. ”

Vlaar replied with a smile......

"By the way, I have a suggestion. The big merchant Vlaar pointed to the other side of the river, "Do you see the big tree?"

Rod nodded. It should be said that I only saw a little bit, because the Dongquan River has become very wide at the mouth of the sea, and it can be seen, but it is not obvious, if it is not a barren land on the other side, if you want to find a special tree, you really can't find it.

"Anyway, there are no houses on the other side, so we'll target that tree, and I'll show you the power of the Vlaar cannon. ”

Vlaar said confidently. Rod could only bow his head in agreement.

"Lord Rhodes, you may need to take a few steps back, the recoil of this Vlaar cannon is so powerful that it could hurt you by mistake. So, please keep a safe distance from your guards. ”

Vlaar explained, ordering the people to start carrying the shells. Prepare for test firing. Quartermaster Geros shouted from the sidelines, ordering his men to hurry. This middle-aged man with shiny hair is very good, his clothes are neat, and he still has a small goatee on his lips, quite the style of a child of the nobility of the empire, but he looks polite, but he is also a ruthless character, in his early years, he was an accountant of a chamber of commerce, and he started by embezzling public funds and lending usury, and was later reported, so he followed the mercenary leader Vlar to the border prince to set up his own door.

"My lord, let me tell you, this cannon is so powerful that it will be eclipsed by the fires of Vlaar on the sea and on land. On the way here, I relied on this cannon to defeat the Kraken and repel the pirates......"

Vlaar urged his men to work on the deck, but he didn't forget to continue to sell to Rhodes. Rod, on the other hand, kept smiling the whole time. 5599

I saw the main gunner staring at the target, stepping on the pedal under the console at a constant speed, adjusting the height of the turret. On the other side, the shell has been loaded, and the firing angle has been adjusted to the adjustment of the other operator.

"Feel the power of steel and fire!"

Vlaar was passionate. Rod, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.

In an instant, the gunner ignited the cannon, and with a deafening explosion, more than a dozen shells were fired from the chambers of the side by side, and with a long whistle that pierced the air, they flew towards the trees on the opposite bank.

Rod only felt that his entire eardrum was about to be shattered, and before he could cover his ears, the first shell had already landed on the opposite bank. I saw that the trunk of the big tree was broken in an instant, the branches splashed out, and a pile of dust exploded on the ground, and after a dozen shells landed, the big tree that was still standing on the field just now turned into a pile of broken wood on the ground, wrapped in scattered dust, scattered all over the ground.

Vlaar picked up the binoculars, looked at them in detail, and handed them to Rod. didn't know that Rod had already seen the effect clearly with Eagle Eye. But it's still a matter of pretending. After taking the binoculars, Rod nodded in satisfaction. Although this merchant from afar may not seem reliable, the weapon he invented is really powerful, this power is not only lethality, but also accuracy, across a river, can smash a single tree on the opposite bank, and shoot in bursts...... This weapon, coupled with a telescope, can snipe at opposing generals from a long distance......

But come to think of it, Rhodes can't show the slightest excitement and desire to buy in front of the cunning businessman. Otherwise, it is very easy to fall into the trap.

"I don't lie to you, the Vlaar Repeater is absolutely the best of the best, and I assure you that no one in this world has ever been equipped with this kind of cannon except me. With it, don't say anything greenskin, the nezumi, even if it's a dragon and a sea monster, they are not afraid. ”

Vlaar laughed and pitched, but with his name in his words from time to time, it was really a bit of a joy.

"Not bad. Rod casually complimented, "What about the price?"

"What's the price...... For the sake of you being the White Bear Lord, the Guardian of the North, and the Vampire Slayer, I'll give you a seven-percent discount. ”

Vlaar said, holding out two fingers from his right hand with a gold ring, and looked at Rhodes with a smile.

"Two thousand gold?"

Rod asked.

"No, no, no, one more digit. ”

Vlaar shook his head, greed written all over his face.

"Twenty thousand?"

"Hmm. ”

After Rhodes finished speaking, the "big businessman" Vlaar nodded and carefully observed Rhodes' face.

But Rod's face was calm and unwavering. In fact, it is impossible to have no waves, this Vlaar repeating gun is indeed a good thing, but the price is ridiculously expensive, 20,000 gold, which is equivalent to the total financial revenue of Black Hammer Fort for five years. This is still the economic strength that Black Hammer Fort has developed in the past six months, and in the past, it was necessary to store at least ten years of gold before it was possible to afford such a precision equipment.

Of course, at such a price, it is impossible for Rhodes to buy. It's just that from the mouth of this big businessman, no one buys either the empire or Kislev at the moment. That must be because everyone thinks the price is expensive, otherwise, it is impossible for such a good guy to not be sold until now.

Vlar is the lord of the Frontier Prince's Domain, but he is also a merchant, and the nature of a merchant is to make money, and if there is a long-term backlog of goods, the funds cannot be returned. Every merchant will be in a hurry because of this. Not to mention the 20,000 gold crown, even if it is a few thousand gold crowns, if you take it out and lend it, how much interest will there be every month.

So, Rod knows, this guy is in a hurry. He went all the way north from Tyrrell, and the border prince led those poor ghost lords definitely couldn't buy them, Bretonnia, the knight lord despised long-range weapons the most, thinking that hard carrying was a real man, as for the empire, people have their own firearms, and this thing is too expensive, very bulky, and impractical. Therefore, along the way, it was difficult for the Vlaar cannon to sell, and it is estimated that this is the case, so it was sold to Kislev......
