In any case, there is no imitation of steel and repeaters, and the amount that can be grabbed from caravan mercenaries who buy repeaters out of their own pockets is extremely limited. The orcs had to try - contact the elements in the Lapland armory to see if the slippery heads could help and get a batch of such good repeaters, only to be disappointed again.

Whether it's Lapland, Charlemagne and Serres, or Castilla and Albion. The armies of no human nation have ever been equipped with repeaters produced by V.E.

The hairy bear who had gone to negotiate the business grabbed the collar of the moths and roared almost with grief, leaving them completely speechless at the answer they received from the humans who were about to be strangled.

There is only one truth - the army refuses to purchase repeaters because they are too expensive.

The V.E company sells early contingencies, old gadgets made in the Niforheim Valley against the Count of Agen Tuolaton. Now the children's regiment, youth regiment and militia in Alfheim have eliminated that batch of handmade products. The repeater they now use for training is a mass-produced product that is optimally designed and manufactured in accordance with the principles.

The early out-of-specification trial machines were originally all lying in the warehouse, but it was not a matter for Li Lin to keep it to occupy the place and accumulate dust, so he simply flowed into the weapons market, and he could recover some funds and complete some small tricks by the way.

Although they are all outdated old things, they are only seen by the elves who have been raised by Li Lin with an appetite. In the era when single-shot iron-tired crossbows are absolutely mainstream, regardless of price and performance, steel repeaters are definitely the first-class storage of artifacts.

A steel repeater that fires a matching steel arrowhead that can open canned unenchanted chain mail or plate mail at around 100 meters. Its market price is about 1,500 small Ekju, which is still a conscience price, and some stores can further raise the price.

The mercenaries who deal with bandits, bandits, and orcs every day grit their teeth, and there are also many guys who can afford to buy a half-good horse. For them, money can be earned anytime and anywhere, but the eating guy has a stake in his life and has to be treated with caution. It is not necessary to spend more money on this.

The army also had ideas about such a repeater, but when they heard the price, they retreated. At least the demand for tens of thousands of archers is combined with that is purely a pit father, and this kind of steel repeater is more prone to rust than ordinary iron crossbows, and whenever there is a gap on weekdays, it must be carefully wiped with oil to prevent rust. The strings are made of different steels, so they have to be coated with a different type of oil - the maintenance cost of each repeater for a year is a significant expense.

At last. It's peacetime. There is no need to spend huge military expenses to equip a batch of crossbows that are expensive but may not be able to be put to use.

To sum up, the brothers in the Lapland Armory have a heart. I really didn't have the goods that my orc partners needed, so I had to give up.

But. This group of moths has not forgotten the love of Jì over the years. Enthusiastically told this group of friends from Ross that the manufacturer and production of this kind of repeater is a company called v.e in Charlemagne's territory, so why not discuss it directly with that side?

With a little depressed, unwilling and urgent mentality, after a series of intermediaries to contact each other. The United Principality of Ross and the V.E Company connected the line and agreed to meet in Agen Towato.

"1500 little Eju. ”

Kolchak licked his lips and smiled bitterly:

"It's just as unaffordable for us, and the elders won't find new gold mines, right?"

The United Principality of Rus' not only has the largest territory in the world, but is also a large resource country rich in various mineral deposits. The largest qualified open-pit gold, silver and diamond mines are concentrated in the Principality. Every time human organization starts, in addition to seizing various important military targets and transportation hubs, there is always a bunch of red and blue arrows pointing directly at the inland mining areas.

This is the United Principality of Rus', where the unit price of 1500 small ejus is multiplied by the huge base of the Rus. The numbers obtained also made it difficult for the principality to hold. Moreover, for the serfs and illiterate soldiers, who accounted for the vast majority of the public, maintenance or something was completely the book of heaven in another world. Gadgets that are oiled and wiped every day are not as popular as simple weapons such as sticks, flails, and maces. Once it enters service, it will almost certainly be besieged by prejudice.

In that case, is it necessary to send them to negotiate?

"It's true that the weapon isn't cheap, but there are at least two things we can do. And you have to do your best to do it. ”

The baron became stern, and Kolchak subconsciously raised his head and listened to the command that he tried to suppress:

"Find new contacts and buy steel-making technology. ”

The Principality's best raiding team, the Scavengers, has been out of touch with the country for more than a month. The orcs then cut ties with the seemingly unreliable merchants, and the spies lurking in Lapland and Charlemagne adjusted accordingly. But in order to be able to lurk for a long time. They still need to find a reputable and strong business as a new partner.

The recent rise of V.E fits the boxes – money, influence, and ambition to grow further.

Just give them a little sweetness, and these pretentious guys will soon fall into control.

As for the technology of steelmaking, in peacetime, this impractical technology will only be a trick. But when war comes, that's two things to say.

Craftsmen who have tested the strength of repeaters have a common opinion - using this steel to make swords or armor and equipping armies in batches is enough to form an overwhelming advantage over opponents armed with iron weapons. Gong must master the technology of steelmaking as much as possible, and not wait until humans slaughter orc warriors in batches with steel swords, steel swords, and steel crossbows on the battlefield.

The unreliable craftsmen could not toss the steelmaking technology in a short time, and if they wanted to master steelmaking, they still had to use the V.E company, which controlled this technology.

By all accounts, the United Principality of Rus' had to contact V.E to seek to develop bilateral relations.

Because of the sudden loss of contact with the scavenging crows, Elder Werther, whose prestige was hit, took the matter very seriously, and quickly nominated Baron Nasimov as his representative, and organized a purchasing group to go to Agen to try to establish contact with the V.E company in order to get what they needed.
