Chapter 426 Arms Race (Part 2)


"Dang!"

There was another crisp sound.

The wheelchair man in the battlefield patted the cannon on the ogre's shoulder and said excitedly: "There is also this one, the [Thunder Hammer-IV Generation] launched by our Klaubow Group!"


Naven's pupils shrank again.

It's this thing called "artillery"! This weapon played a great role in the 16th Holy City War, even killing several Titans!

But now, as long as they pay enough gold coins, they, Cassander, can also have such a thing! You can also use this to shoot down the opponent's angelic descendants!

The wheelchair man in the battlefield stroked the gun body affectionately and continued: "The gun body of this smoothbore gun is made of special alloy, which can effectively cool down and prevent the barrel from exploding."

"And this new type of artillery shell is even more remarkable. It is a blooming projectile carefully developed by the Imperial Ordnance Institute. The warhead is filled with gunpowder. It will explode after hitting the target, which can bring maximum damage to the enemy."


"Here, show this customer."

The ogre artilleryman collected the silver coins from the wheelchair man on the battlefield, then placed the artillery on the ground, calculated the angle skillfully, and then loaded the shells.

"Boom!"

The cannonball drew a graceful arc in the air.

It exploded hundreds of meters away, sending shrapnel flying in all directions, like a flower blooming - it really deserves the title of "flowering bomb".

Naven looked into the distance with an expression of surprise.

In terms of pure lethality, this is no less than the three-ring fireball technique, and it is even more crushing in terms of range and strike range.

Noticing the other person's expression, the man in the battlefield wheelchair suddenly felt stable.

He put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "This is the Hammer of the Empire, an absolute weapon on the battlefield, the best choice for starting a large-scale war!"

Naven couldn't wait to ask: "How many gold coins are needed for these rifles and artillery?"

But the wheelchair man in the battlefield gave it up first and asked with a smile: "Do you know how much the arms purchased by the Kingdom of Thrace cost?"

Naven shook his head.

"Each of their rifles costs 99 silver coins, and each cannon costs 30 gold coins."

Naven’s eyes suddenly widened.

So cheap?

The price of this artillery is not even worth a fireball scroll.

"That's why our products at Klaube Group have always been of high quality and low price, and we strive to bring the best experience to our customers."

The battlefield wheelchair man continued:

"The performance and appearance of the two products I introduced to you are far better than those sold to Thrace, so we will increase the price slightly - it should not be excessive."

"Of course."

Naven nodded, he was ready to be ripped off.

"However, out of the friendship between His Majesty Cassius and His Majesty Otis, we can give you a friendship price"

"Each [Flying Dragon Flame-Type I] sells for 128 silver coins, and each [Thunder Hammer-Type IV] sells for 39 gold coins."

The wheelchair man in the battlefield covered his chest and looked like he was reluctant to give up his love.

"This is almost the cost price, which is the bottom line we can accept. What do you think?"

Before Naven could respond, the man in the battlefield wheelchair sighed heavily again.

"Alas——"

"Although His Majesty Cassius remained neutral during this war, he had a good impression of the Kingdom of Cassander and always believed that His Majesty Otis was the orthodox one in Fadland."

"In this case, for the sake of His Majesty Otis, we will simply do business at a loss and give you an unprecedented discount!" "As long as you can order more than 60,000 rifles and more than 7,000 artillery pieces at one time, we will I’ll give you a 20% discount!”

Seeing the exaggerated performance of the wheelchair man in the battlefield, the corner of Naven's mouth twitched slightly.

But he was still quite happy in his heart. He could finally make greater contributions to the Kingdom of Cassander!

"Okay, I will go back immediately to discuss with Mr. Otis and give you an exact number as soon as possible."

"Okay!"

The man in the battlefield wheelchair was immediately happy.

But he thought for a moment, and then took out a beautifully carved gold coin - the front of the gold coin was a lifelike and majestic dragon head, and the reverse was an ember badge with vertical pupils and flames.

This is the latest gold coin issued by the Imperial Bank. It has begun to be widely circulated in the empire. It is officially called [Golden Nail]. Due to its unique appearance, it is also called "Golden Dragon Head" or "Emperor's Money".

"Your Excellency Navin, I just forgot to tell you that our Klaubau Group only accepts settlement in gold. You need to purchase the equivalent value of gold at the Imperial Bank before proceeding with the transaction."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me, I will pay attention."

Naven nodded, not paying too much attention.

He had carefully observed that the weight of the gold coins was not much less. In his opinion, this was just a way for the empire to make money by minting coins.

The battlefield wheelchair man took out another exquisite wooden box and came forward.

"By the way, are you interested in taking a look at this collector's pistol?"

"This is a treasure that many imperial generals carry with them, even Marshal Doro can't put it down"

In this way, in a friendly atmosphere, the battlefield wheelchair man once again successfully completed his sales pitch.

A few days later, Cassander's delegation headed north again.

The Klaubov Group received a large order from the Kingdom of Cassander, surpassing the previous kingdom of Thrace, which once again aroused a nationwide craze.

Four hundred thousand [Dragon Flame-Type I] rifles, and thirty-six thousand [Thunder Hammer-IV] artillery pieces.

There are countless ammunition and shells.

A total of more than two million gold coins.

And Battlefield Wheelchair Man once again became the sales champion this month, with unlimited success.

But some people question that it is because of his special relationship with Steel Frenzy that he gets such precious opportunities every time.

In the vast Fadland region in the south, the war between Cassander and Thrace further intensified.

Since the Ember Empire sold arms to both sides of the war, both Cassander and Thrace recruited a large number of civilians into the army, conducted simple and quick training, and equipped them with guns and ammunition purchased from the empire.

The fighting spread from the Holy City area to every inch of the border between the two countries.

In the vast territory of Holy Fadland, there is smoke everywhere, guns roaring, and people who once stood tall and raised their heads for the same empire are fighting each other.

With the push behind the Ember Empire, the cruel game of war seems to have a new way of playing.

A new era is coming.

"Those guns and artillery are the source of disaster. We continue to buy more lethal and more expensive armaments, only to find that the land under our feet has become devastated."

"The people of Fadland once fought against each other, but no one was the winner. Their blood nourished the monster in the north, making it stronger and stronger until - its wings enveloped the entire continent."< br>
