Chapter 139 Cost
Acado looked around, smiled gently at the elf queen, and then asked the envoys of various countries, "Since everyone wants to know why, I'll tell you why. Everyone only saw the power of this long knife, but did not think of the cost of the long knife. The long sword exported by Luo Mai, each priced at 20 silver coins, is much more expensive than the weapons on the market. Why? Because each Robley sword must be forged 500 times. Imagine, gentlemen, if there is a blacksmith hitting 500 times with a hammer, what is the concept, and our Romer's secret technology can keep the strength of these 500 strikes the same. Now please think about why Rome's sword is better than ordinary iron. Is the price of the sword made by the craftsman high? The red steel knife used by the Royal Guard of the Elf Queen has been redesigned and forged. Each red steel knife has been beaten 5,000 times. The processing price of a red steel knife is 15 gold coins, and the cost of each knife is more than 1,000 gold coins. Gentlemen, such a rich elf forest has only ordered 5,000 such weapons! My Romei soldier's own long knife has been beaten 10,000 times. The price of each steel knife is 300 gold coins, plus armor and matching shields. The cost of each soldier is about 500 gold coins. If training and other expenses are included, an adult man needs about 700 gold coins before going to go to the battlefield. Even I tightened my belt to equip thousands of troops. If someone wants to buy 100,000 such long knives or swords and armor to equip their own troops, I would be happy to make a deal. Accept the reservation on site and buy it as soon as possible.
A paragraph made the envoys present speechless. What a joke? The cost of equipping 10,000 soldiers is enough to arm hundreds of thousands of troops. Who can do such a stupid thing? At most, it is to train some loyal guards and buy a few to use. Yue Linger was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the escort equipment of Rome Island was so expensive that she, the prince of the Eternal Night Empire, felt her poverty.
"Miss Yue Linger, how about the loudest voice you just shouted? If you want to buy 1000 sets, I'll make it cheaper for you!" Arcado looked at Yue Linger in front of him. Yue Linger's beautiful face was full of embarrassment at this moment. She really couldn't afford such expensive equipment. She really couldn't take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
"The Yongye Empire does not want to become an enemy with Romer. Please forgive Miss Linger for being excited. China will purchase 30,000 sets of ordinary armor, 50,000 strong crossbows, and 100,000 ordinary swords. Of course, as for the best quality swords on Rome Island, our Eternal Night Empire has also customized 1,000." The envoy of the Eternal Night Empire came forward and said that he was already a little dissatisfied with Yue Linger's behavior at this time. He repeatedly interfered with his envoy's work and now provoked the owner of Rome Island, which was obviously not one of the tasks of this trip.
"The Holy Empire will order 100,000 swords, 60,000 strong crossbows, and 20,000 sets of armor! Mr. Islander of Rome Island, in view of the rudeness of the Vice Envoys of the Eternal Night Empire, I suggest that we stop supplying them, and our sacred empire has all wrapped up their goods. The envoys of the Holy Empire did not waste the opportunity to stone the Eternal Night Empire.
"That's right, if the Eternal Night Empire feels that there is a problem and you don't want to buy it, you can just don't buy it. Our Adams Empire will take all of it. The owner of Rome Island has always been a model for businessmen. How can he do something that damages the reputation of businessmen? The envoys of the Adams Empire also shouted that they all wanted to exclude other countries, and now it is in the interests of other parties to defeat a competitor.
The envoys of the fortress empire also stood up and said grandly, "The fortress empire will customize the crossbow guns produced by Monroe, 400 large city defense catapaces, plus 50,000 long swords." Then he took a look at the envoy of the Eternal Night Empire and continued, "The Marquis of Fort Rudolph can stop cooperating with the Eternal Night Empire, and the Fortress Empire will support the Marquis of Rudolph."
In her life, she has never been attacked by so many people together. Yue Linger's big eyes on her red face are now full of tears, and the last trace of reservedness of soldiers on the battlefield prevented tears from falling. She burst into tears and stared at Arcado fiercely, as if all these difficulties were initiated by Arcado.
The Lovik Empire supports Mr. Rudolph. The Eternal Night Empire is simply a provocation. Their people lose and have the face to question your reputation. I suggest expelling the envoys of the Eternal Night Empire!" The envoys of the Lovik Empire are not afraid of big things. They have no border with the Eternal Night Empire at all. So at this time, he stood up and said in a tough tone.
The southern city-state borders the Eternal Night Empire and is still in a state of war against Leon Barton at the same time, while the other Northern Holy Empire is also in the honeymoon period with the Eternal Night Empire. It is really embarrassing to say more, but from the eyes of the two envoys, it is obvious that it means to gloat.
The envoys of the Yongye Empire are really anxious now. If they lose such a powerful source of weapons, Yue Linger is probably fine with the face of the prince's granddaughter, but her head is determined to move. Thinking of this, the envoys of the Yongye Empire hurried forward to salute Arcado and said with twelve points of sincerity. He said, "The Lord of Rome Island is generous. My Eternal Night Empire is really not offensive. Please don't mind. On behalf of the Eternal Night Empire, I promise you that there will be no next time."
"Well, my friend Miss Yue Linger and I are having fun. I didn't expect you to take it seriously. Miss Yue Linger is so beautiful. If we make her cry, it will be a violent thing." Acado said with a smile, took off his big command and rolled it into a ball, handed it over to Yue Linger, and whispered, "If you cry, it's not beautiful. I'll give you something. If you like it, don't embarras me." After saying that, he didn't look back and boarded his carriage.
Many viewers saw that Rome Island was peaceful and did not want to embarrass the Eternal Night Empire, so they gave up. They said goodbye to the Elf Queen and returned to their residence. Formal negotiations will begin tomorrow, and everyone should cultivate their spirit and strive for the greatest interests.
The envoy of the Eternal Night Empire came to Yue Linger and said angrily, "Miss Yue Linger, the old prince did not ask you to do anything against the Marquis Rudolph that is not in the interests of the empire. Please be careful next time. If such a thing happens again, neither of us can explain to the empire. This time, the Marquis Rudolph did not pursue it, otherwise we would be completely doomed!"
