Chapter 147 Arms Business
"We just sold three ironclad ships to the people of Hurricane Castle..."
In a larger camp, the diplomat fooled the lord away on the pretext of visiting the military camp, so the merchants hurriedly said the above words.
Ding Lei was speechless.
They have a lot of trade deals with the Deer Antler Country. If they let the other side know that the large equipment is sold here to their enemies, will they cancel the order in anger?
But... the arms are sold on both sides... This is a good thing to pay attention to.
"Didn't the Deer Antler Kingdom buy weapons from us?"
Faced with Ding Lei’s question, the merchants looked at each other, and one of them replied: “They only buy civilian technology from us. It is said that they want to buy weapons and equipment, but they seem to be unable to accept the price we give.”
“What equipment?”
"Architecture, combo crossbow, magic breaker, and other heavy equipment."
"Compared with the ironclad ship?
"Depending on the number, normally, ironclad ships are more expensive than them."
"Well..." Ding Lei didn't say anything anymore. Yadonis next to him asked: "In addition to the two of them, what other forces are there?"
"Many! And there are constant disputes." The merchants said excitedly: "In fact, we prefer military use than the civilian market, after all, profits are the most."
It's military... Thinking of this, Ding Lei unconsciously turned his head to look at the Marine Corps guards he brought.
The soldiers of the Empire have now abandoned the heavy armor set and replaced it with lighter soft armor and other more resilient protective suits. The weapons are mainly 60-round combo crossbows, and there are also portable crossbows similar to the shape of a bazooka. The thing that is shot is still blue magic arrows, which will explode when touching the target.
The energy consumed is a crystal, and the gun barrel has a lifespan. It is said that when the Bucks first saw planting this thing, he wanted to purchase it in large quantities, but unfortunately he had no money and asked for credit. He didn't do it here and ended up leaving it alone.
"Compared to the Bucks, Hurricane Fort is much more spacious, and the three warships buy it as soon as they say."
"Haha yes."
The businessmen smiled and said.
Yadunis asked: "What are their weapons?"
The escort replied: "Like ours, we have swords, bows and crossbows."
Ding Lei stood up and concluded: "Create an underground organization called "Freedomers" and told the Bucks that it was these people who sold their weapons to Hurricane Castle. If they don't want to be at a disadvantage in future battles, let them buy our weapons."
Yadonis next to him said, "Anyway, it's just that this continent is always in a state of constant war, right?"
Ding Lei: "Huh?" Is that true?
The merchants below said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise, so our arms business will become bigger and bigger."
The escort officer said: "As the funds are expanded, the development of weapons must also be kept up. Otherwise, the weapons sold to these indigenous people are similar to those of our soldiers, and then there will be no advantage in the future."
"Yes, that's it!"
Seeing the following words becoming more and more excited, Ding Lei reminded: "Don't sell light weapons, continuous-shot crossbows. Change the continuous-shot to a single-shot, and reduce the load capacity to half, and the range and accuracy of the range are also reduced. Our crystal production line can be placed here, but it must be firmly grasped in the hands of our own people and not leaked. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Next time I come here, I'll bring the exploration team. Okay, go down."
Everyone retreated respectfully, and were still talking loudly after going out.
"Speak quietly!"
As Ding Lei shouted, there was no sound outside the tent.
"Then let's go, too, go somewhere else this time."
Yadonis nodded.
The two disappeared.
----------------------
They flashed several times in a row, and the two of them were aimlessly moving towards the east.
Indeed, if they knew along the way, warlords would be divided and chaos, and the battlefield alone would go through two places.
"There may not be high-level forces in this continent, but even if there is one, the number or influence should not be much greater." Ding Lei looked at the hedging scene of the cavalry on both sides below in the sky, sighing softly, unless he was watching coldly like the Guardians' Corps.
"You mean, if anything, would more or less stop them from fighting like this?"
Ding Lei nodded.
The tracking beacon placed in the mysterious foreign businessman has not responded yet, and the skeleton ship is quite far away from here.
In other words, the strongholds of those people were not here.
Forget it, the future is long, and the whole world will slowly promote it, and one day it will be pushed to their family.
"How many forces have we just passed?"
Yadunis glanced down and said, "There are about 4 places, plus the two below, and there are currently 6."
Ding Lei saw that one of them actually started to mount a flintlock rifle.
"If we don't intervene, this continent may be overly over the modern world after another one or two hundred years."
Yadunis didn't hear Ding Lei's subtle whisper clearly and asked, "Your Highness?"
"Nothing." Ding Lei looked up at Tiankong and said, "It's getting late, find a place to rest."
"Affect the order."
The two of them finally settled in a small town with a considerable scale.
It's getting dark now.
Walking on the street, Ding Lei looked around and saw that there were quite a few pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Maybe they are hiding from the war.
"Your Highness." Yadonis pointed to the square in front.
There are quite a lot of people gathered there.
"Go and take a look."
It was an empty square, with a large pillar tied to a girl in black, and her clothes were quite torn.
In this scene, Ding Lei had a very, very strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had been...
"This is the witch I discovered today." Such a voice came from the crowd.
"Witch?" Ding Lei murmured, and suddenly thought of someone, "Camilla!"
"Your Highness." Yadonis next to him whispered: "When I accompanied you out hunting, I met Camilla under this situation, but she was still very young at that time."
So that's it. Ding Lei suddenly realized that this kind of familiar feeling, that is, Camilla was rescued by Austin when she was a child and then brought back to the castle?
But she seemed to have no previous memories at all.
At this time, the crowd around was boiling, and a burning torch was thrown into the pile of firewood under the girl, and screams and cheers suddenly rang out together.
Now is not the time to think about it!
With a "bang", the fire exploded and some Martians splashed into the crowd, causing a scream.
Ding Lei put the girl in his arms and checked her injuries:
Burns, hunger, weakness, and scars everywhere.
The girl half-opened her eyes, looked at the handsome face in front of her and asked, "Has the angel come to save me..."
Ding Lei smiled and said, "Yes, I'll take you home."
After talking, three portals with lightning opened in the sky behind him.
"Roar~!!!"
Three giant flying dragons rushed out.
