Chapter 298 Auction
That night, countless fast horses rushed out of Romer City, and almost all the envoys coincidentally sent people back to their respective empires, asking if they could "increase the weights".
So all the envoys pleaded with Arcado to auction a little later at the next day's auction, which postponed the auction again and was not officially held 16 days later.
On May 27, Gregorian calendar, the grand Merol advanced weapons auction was officially held. The scene was extremely hot from the beginning, and all countries took out their strength to compete for the coveted magic cannon.
"The following group of weapons we auctioned is called the city defense magic guide gun. This weapon is huge in size, but it is also powerful. The range has exceeded the effective range of the crossbow arrow by about 180 meters, reaching 1100 meters, which is enough to tear any provocative target in the city. The number is limited, 10 sets! 90 groups in total!" The auctioneer shouted on the court.
"The magic guide gun with a reserve price of 10,000 gold! Let's start the auction now!" He paused and announced loudly. And knocked down the mallet heavily.
30,000! One door!" Bishop Dumt, the military bishop of the Holy Empire and the second highest military officer of the Holy Empire, made a loud bid.
"60,000 one door!" Xia Changfeng, the special envoy of the Yongye Empire, laughed and said, "If you don't bring enough money, go and borrow it quickly, shameful guy!"
The two sides stared at each other with gunpowder and competed with each other. Finally, this batch of rare fortress guns were sold for 100,000 gold coins each, and 200 were bought by each of the four empires, and the remaining 100 were rounded up by the Northern Holy Empire.
900 artillery has sold for 90 million gold coins. The price of this weapon has exceeded the total price of the largest and most powerful maritime warships in the past, and the cost of making this weapon is only iron ore, some lathe wear and energy consumption.
More than 2,700 first-generation naval fortress-type magic cannons have been auctioned before. The longest range of this batch of guns has been explained before. It is only 700 meters away, but it has also sold each magic cannon at a high price of 50,000 gold coins.
This batch of outdated magic guide guns have brought 1305 million in revenue to the Duchy of the Holy Sword, which is enough to equip the Holy Sword Principality with at least 200,000 of the latest magic guide guns.
The Adams Empire bought a total of 400 cannons, which can be said to be a lot of money. The fortress empire also purchased as many as 400 cannons. The poor Northern Holy Empire only bought 200 cannons, and the remaining 1,400 cannons were divided equally between the Holy Empire and the Eternal Night Empire.
Another 300 magic cannons have been snapped up by major families. They have found a very reliable buyer for these goods, that is, the southeast city-state, which can't even enter the door outside the venue. Of course, a cannon will sell about 70,000 gold coins, but Zhou Yu just hit the yellow cover.
Just as the eliminated magic cannon, the Yongye Empire and the Holy Empire each bought as many as 900 pieces, but if it is distributed to the army, it is like putting a grain of salt in a glass of water. For example, the 4 million troops of the Yongye Empire have only 900 magic cannons, and the firepower density of 4 million troops is only about the same as that of a 15,000-person main division of the Principality of the Holy Sword.
Counting the ammunition of these weapons, the Principality of Sword has earned 300 million gold coins from these fat sheep. Counting the shields, armor, swords and other traditional military products, as well as strong crossbows and other weapons, nearly 400 million gold coins have entered Akado's pocket. But everyone at the scene knows that this madness has just begun.
Then auctioned the first batch of cars of the Liema Project, which were old transport cars eliminated by the Holy Sword Army. Although it is a second-hand car, it looks very ugly and its performance can only be said to be average, but the car priced at 5,000 gold coins was auctioned to 30,000 gold coins, and more than 1,000 cars were snapped up.
Then came the highlight of the whole auction, the second-generation magic cannon produced by Rome Island, that is, the artillery still used by some second-line armies of the Principality of the Holy Sword. And the first generation of armored reconnaissance vehicles, as well as 500 first-generation tanks.
The performance of these weapons and equipment has made all empires crazy. Although hundreds of millions of gold coins have rolled into Arcardo's pockets, according to the actual number of gold coins brought by each empire, those are just appetizers.
A full of 8,000 infantry cannons have been sold. Compared with those giant magic cannons that can only be mounted on the wall or embedded in stone piers, these weapons and equipment are the real offensive force and weapons that can compete with the latest artillery currently equipped by the Principality of the Holy Sword in terms of range and other performance.
"1 billion gold coins!!" Griffiths, the envoy of the Adams Empire, the commander-in-chief of Adams' military forces, directly shouted a sky-high price. After seeing the power of those weapons, he never thought about bringing back even a gold coin. What he has to do now is to replace every copper with weapons and ammunition and transport them back to China.
1.1 billion gold coins!! Fortress Empire bid 1.1 billion gold coins!!" The envoy of the fortress empire had a solemn face, and it seemed that he was almost ordered to replace all the gold coins in his hand with arms.
"2 billion! The Holy Empire offered 2 billion! We are all very satisfied with these weapons, and it is really pleasant to cooperate with the Sword Empire. Bishop Domit's words were as if those weapons were already from his sacred empire.
Yu Qianmou, the prime minister of the Yongye Empire, snorted coldly and raised his hand and said, "It's just 2 billion gold coins. My Yongye Empire bid 2.1 billion gold coins!"
It's really not strange that Yu Qianmou is petty. Who has seen so much money at an auction? This can't help but make him plan well. If you add 100 million at a time, you can save money.
"2.3 billion gold coins!" With commercial civilization, the Adams Empire was naturally rich and still followed the two empires and shouted its own bid. And 200 million gold coins were added as soon as he shouted.
However, it can be seen from Marshal Griffitz's purple face that his pocket is not rich, and he may even have a slight deficit.
"I, we will pay 22.5 billion gold coins!" Bishop Dumt of the Holy Empire said while wiping the sweat on his forehead. There were few gold coins left this time. God knows how much money is left for the Eternal Night Empire to continue this crazy game.
The envoys of the Eternal Night Empire are also sweating. Everyone knows that every word they say is equivalent to nearly half of the year's income of the Eternal Night Empire becoming the wealth of others. As long as you are a little rational, you can know the extent of the pressure.
