Chapter 123 Frontline Command
I didn't expect that I would be on the homepage of Qidian. Thank you for your support.
Chi Nan didn't know what happened at home. He followed Mo Cha and walked quickly for a whole day. Finally, they arrived at the frontline area. Now this place has been surrounded inside and outside.
After passing through the gate and entering the interior, and even passing through several layers of soldiers' inspection, several people finally walked inside.
A group of nobles came forward. Why do you say nobles? Because looking at their clothes and temperament, they are out of tune with the soldiers around them. Only nobles will dress so fancy.
Chi Nan himself didn't want to dress like this, but the nobles' clothes still made him feel very bright.
"Your Excellency is Baron Chi Nan, I'm glad to see you." The leader came up. "I am the commander of the front line. You can call me Earl Longgen or Longgen."
Chi Nan also stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Chi Nan, the Lord of Hongshaling. I meet Earl Longgen and all the nobles. What is the matter with you calling me here this time? We can talk now."
Earl Longgen was a little stunned. How could this noble not know any etiquette? When nobles meet for the first time, they should first go through a set of etiquette before they can be considered to have a formal acquaintance. Besides, when discussing serious matters, they should not discuss right away. This is too direct. Other nobles also frowned.
Mo Cha hurriedly said: "Everyone, Baron Chi Nan was just canonized. He is not a traditional noble. It is understandable that he does not understand the etiquette of nobles." Everyone's face looked a little better now.
"Humph, as a noble, you don't observe etiquette. Is this considered a noble?" An old noble said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't be angry, this guy is quite old-fashioned. Usually, young nobles of Remas learn etiquette from him."
Chi Nan understood that no matter where he went, he could always see a few old-fashioned people who followed the rules. Chi Nan couldn't say that he hated such people, nor did he like them. He simply pretended not to see them.
Earl Longgen also frowned. Why didn't this guy know the occasion? Didn't he know that everyone was asking Chi Nan now?
Suddenly, Earl Longgen's eyes turned: "Haha, is this the army of Hongshaling? The momentum is really good, not worse than our elite soldiers. Well, let's take a look at the power of this pea cannon first."
After laughing, the atmosphere immediately eased. The soldiers brought by Chi Nan looked like they were not as well trained as their elite soldiers. But they were well-equipped, and their red light armor was shining and eye-catching. They couldn't see the special features of the armor on these soldiers.
They thought that these armors were just dyed red. They had done things like dyeing armor before. Many nobles' armors are shining with gold, which is all dyed.
Chi Nan did not explain, they will know it eventually. The output of red metal in the territory is not too large now, so Chi Nan has not planned to sell it in large quantities, so let's wait for a while.
The main focus of other nobles is on the pea cannons on these soldiers. Even if these soldiers don't perform well, as long as they have this weapon, no one dares to underestimate them. They have seen the power of pea cannons on the battlefield before. Only thirty people can form a barrage of bullets.
Before the bullets are exhausted, even the black iron level orcs will not be easy to rush over against the attack. There was one who forced a charge before, but was seriously injured, so they were easily harvested.
"These pea cannons are the same power as the ones I sold to Baron Mocha before. Everyone knows what the effect is." Chi Nan didn't want to waste time here. There were still many things to do in the territory.
Earl Longgen nodded. Baron Chi Nan was too direct. He had never experienced such a negotiation before.
There was no way. Chi Nan, who came out of modern society, had not become a superior. What he hated most was wasting time. Especially wasting time when he knew what the result would be, he disliked it even more.
After thinking about it, Earl Longgen said, "In that case, let's go to the conference room."
Earl Longgen led people to the back. Although this conference room was built temporarily, it was still very large and very impressive. It looked like a small palace. I really don't know how it was made.
In the hall, a huge table that occupied nearly half of the hall spanned the center, surrounded by chairs. The distance between each chair was relatively far, and there was a place for others to stand behind.
Everyone sat in their own seats spontaneously, which were arranged according to different identities. Because Chi Nan was just a baron, he sat in the back half. At the back were the seats of some lords.
Everyone sat down, and Chi Nan spoke directly: "As for the price issue, everyone should have heard from Baron Mocha. One golden dragon for one pea cannon, this price is very reasonable."
Count Longgen shook his head and said: "No, no, no, this price is too high. Even if it is a strong crossbow, it is only two golden dragons for one."
Chi Nan smiled coldly: "Let's not talk about the price of the strong crossbow, but the power of the strong crossbow is obviously not as good as the pea cannon. And it is more troublesome to maintain. The pea cannon does not need maintenance, just stick it in the ground and let it bask in the sun."
Earl Longgen nodded, but still said calmly: "So, what about the life of the pea cannon? If the crossbow is well maintained, it can be used for more than ten years. How long can the pea cannon be used? And how to solve the ammunition of the pea cannon? Each one has only twenty attack opportunities, and then it has to stay for a day. The crossbow does not have this limitation."
"The service life is two years, which is not short. After all, it does not need maintenance. If it is gone, you can continue to buy. As for ammunition, isn't it enough to prepare more? The key is power. Can a crossbow fire twenty times in a battle?"
"The power of the pea cannon is indeed good , but I heard that your pea cannon will not attack your army. We will take great risks to use this kind of weapon with a special backdoor that you have left yourself. "
Chi Nan was stunned. He didn't expect that they were so well-informed, but Chi Nan was not vague: "I can only control these pea cannons not to attack myself. Do I have to let them use the weapons I sold myself against me? You wouldn't want to do that. As long as it is not used to attack me, the pea cannon is the most reliable. "
Although everyone didn't like this, they couldn't refute it. Could they say that they were going to attack him?
