Governor Alexei sighed after receiving a positive reply from the newcomer, an old and wealthy rogue trader, about his list of goods and availability.

The whispers in the small rooms in the surrounding corridors became more frequent, and to the ears of Ramizane and his guards, the whispers seemed to have a tendency to develop into arguments and even all-martial arts.

"What's wrong with you? Lord Doge," Lord Carrosini looked at each other quizzically with his ice-blue eyes, the color of his eyes was truly beautiful by human standards, and would remind the planetary governor of the color of those thick, permafrost glaciers deep in the North and South poles. "Is it because my cargo catalogue is not rich enough to satisfy you?"

"Of course not, Lord Carrosini," replied Governor Alexei with an aria of melancholy, "I was just thinking that our world Carrick is too desolate and barren, despite all the things you have brought to us...... I mean, it's all fantastic, we all want it, but our ...... The Throne Coin reserve may not be enough to pay for everything we want to buy. ”

He paused, one hand as if to tighten the armrest of his chair, "So ......"

The ronin, the Trader on the other side, immediately interrupted the Planetary Governor's next words with a loud voice, "So you can exchange something else on Carrick for my goods!" ”

————————

[Ramizane Kalosini!] I'm really ...... What are you doing! Why interrupt him! Obviously, we can send a signal and do it directly! I've just been locked in by the fire control systems of at least ten weapons! There are two more that should lock you in. In addition, the wall panels are hollow, with automatic firing cannons on the flap mechanism inside, and snipers lying on their stomachs behind the decorative carved panels under the ceiling. 】

[Alas! Good flap mechanism! It's so much in line with the descriptions of those Wars of the Roses! That's a bit like I remember meeting at the Planetary Governor's Mansion...... Wait, I feel like I'm just a little bit off figuring out what's wrong, really, trust me. 】

[Hmph! It's just a desolate place, and I don't know why you're so careful! Two Glorious Queens and so many Terminators and Storm Birds, Heavy Vehicles, Primordials and Astartes...... According to my simulations, even if it were a completely frontal assault, the number of planetary defenses in the Governor's Palace and the adjacent barracks would not last 15 minutes! Of course, although the current Star Communication is about the same, just in case, just in case, let Dassada and them blow up the small Star Tower into the sky with a salvo of missiles. 】

[Really? Sound...... So what is the level of training and equipment of the planetary defense force you planted for them during the simulated battle? 】

Speaking of which, Perturabo calmed his anger slightly, [Of course, using the average level of the human domination zone - this is a serious overestimation for them! Because my Iron Blood doesn't need to use as much primitive manpower to prepare for the shoot like those useless Imperial ships. 】

[Uh, you still have this kind of statistics of super need control zone and dominance, which is not better than the Imperial Ministry of the Interior? And the Iron Blood does ...... I said that you can do it to this extent, why don't you just lead the heirs to attack the Holy Terra and take the ......]

[That's not a good thing that people want to fight for, and the future of that thing is dark. If it weren't for the fact that it was a holy Terra, it would be better to start anew...... Now is not the time to say this - the data I'm using comes from the average combat level of the Planetary Defense Force in the 31st millennium, and I have a lot of real data on this that I have in stock. 】

[Ugh.] yes, that's true. In that case, let me ask curiously, if the level of the Sun Auxiliary Army were to be the defensive force of Governor Carrick's Mansion, how long would it take for us to attack head-on? 】

[This assumption is not true, the Carrick Planetary Defense Force does not have as much armor, weapons, advanced vehicles and heavy firepower as the Sun Auxiliary Army, and the quality of the soldiers is good, but the level of training is not as high as it was at that time. 】

[Suppose! So what if we say we have the manpower we have, will we be able to handle it? 】

[If it is hypothetical, then some of our heavy vehicles and senior officers here must all be taken out of the field to ensure that the ground engagement time is controlled to 15 minutes, such as destroying their orbital defense platform first, and then arriving at the position to drop the automatic fire point Dread Claw, and then dropping the Iron Rider Tyrant Terminator team led by Dassada and Endred Howl's eighth company "Thunder Fang" team, the follow-up Destroyer, etc.] 】

[Hmm...... That sounds acceptable. I'd recommend that the Iron Blood be armed with more Destroyers now, and that it would be better to bring more units with heavy flamethrowers. 】

The dog frowned in the cramped crew compartment, stretched out its paws and smacked, [Is it acceptable? Flamethrower? What did you find? 】

[Hmm...... And if you add to that the fact that the Carrick Defense Force has a massive weapon equal to the level of the guards here? 】

[That's very troublesome, unless we equip Endred's company with a double-layer individual defense position, but their power armor energy is completely comparable to the energy source of the MARKX.II I modified, and they can't open the shield if we temporarily install them.] So don't think about it! In addition, according to the scan, the energy level of the weapons of these guards is indeed extremely dangerous, but it is restrained intact, but the results of my re-scan just now tell me ......]

[Tell you that the principle of these weapons is probably a bit correct, but the materials and craftsmanship used to make them are too rudimentary, and the energy magazines of these guns should have melted down the restraint shells and blown up into a huge pit by now, right?] 】

Perturabo's tone was very contradictory, half surprised and half annoyed, with a strange unconvincing anger. [These weapons...... These things work properly and don't fit into any known data and formulas! 】

[I know...... And so it was. 】

[What?! The dog sounds tempted to jump up and punch the Riddler's head, but the agitation of the Fourth Primordial soul shows that he is really not completely angry, but strangely happy and excited.

[It turns out that prudence is always a good virtue before going to war, and although I would praise the heroes who charge bravely and the mighty warriors who fight into the enemy's ranks, it is impossible to be too cautious in this universe, Perturabo, have you heard the story of Fenris's wolf on the wolf?] 】

——————————

The Planetary Governor frowned slightly.

But instead of getting angry, he asked, puzzledly, "What else is the price?" Is there anything else in our world that I don't know to trade? So what is the price, Lord Carrosini. ”

The Ronin Trader's ice-blue eyes looked at Governor Alexei with a slight smile.

"For this, a piece of land that can be surrounded by a hundred Glocks hides is sufficient. I think. ”
