"Besides, your heir should be blamed for being useless, but you still have the nerve to let me share it equally. Didn't Nalant say that before the enemy was in front of him, he didn't dare to move?"
Bernard didn't give Lakoff any face because his fist was bigger than his.
"Bernard, do you really think that our cavalry family is afraid of you?" Now in front of so many young heirs, Lakoff felt a little unable to step down, and was actually prepared to have a tough fight with Bernard.
"Then give it a try!" Bernard also rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
"That's enough!" At this moment, King Culver finally spoke and scolded the two of them.
"Do you still have me as the lord? Now that the team has not entered the Northern Principality, you are starting to have a quarrel? Do you still remember the Autumn March plan I told you a few days ago?"
"Your Majesty, I understand your mistake!"
"Your Majesty, I understand your mistake!"
Looking at Culver's gloomy face, Lakoff and Bernard immediately stopped. They must still respect their lord.
"I have the final say on this matter today. Since these war horses were captured by the Tulip family, they belong to the Tulip family!"
"As for you guys, you didn't know how to seize the opportunity that was presented to you, and you were outdone by a woman. Go back and reflect on it!" King Culver looked at the eldest prince and Tony one by one!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eldest prince and Tony immediately lowered their heads like eggplants beaten by frost. Instead of watching the fun, they were scolded, and they felt as uncomfortable as eating rat excrement.
Nalant, on the other hand, finally laughed.
He is now very happy that he made the wisest choice and hugged Stella's long legs. Otherwise, in his own name, it would be absolutely impossible to save all the horses!
"Okay, now we all disperse to clean up the battlefield. After this battle, the Northern Principality's rangers in the south should have been exhausted a lot. Next, we will speed up our march."
"When you arrive in the Northern Principality, as long as you work hard, the trophies you will get will definitely be more than just a few war horses!" Culver saw that everyone had stopped and finally spoke to reassure them.
In fact, he was a little jealous of these war horses, but he understood that even if they were war horses, they would never be as important as the land.
Therefore, all of his principles for this Autumn Campaign were to achieve victory in the Autumn Campaign.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"
After a scolding from the king, all the earls and heirs finally became honest.
While the heirs and rangers began to clean up the battlefield, Bernard took Nalant and Stella to a nearby clean open space and sat down.
After sitting down, Bernard first asked about the whole story of the afternoon's battle.
After listening to Stella's story with a frown, Bernard looked at Nalant: "Boy, did you build those two strange bed crossbows yourself?"
"Yes, Lord Earl, I also saw this in an ancient book, and then asked my carpenter to make it according to the description. I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
"Huh? From ancient books again?" Bernard was stunned. He seemed to have heard it from Nalant many times.
Of course, this is not a suspicion of fakeness. After all, there are no online novels in this world, and there is no systematic explanation.
It's just that Bernard feels very sad now, because he feels that Nalant must have brought no books with him when he went to the Storm Territory.
Therefore, these books were probably originally placed in the castle.
In other words, if the Storm Territory had not conferred the title on Nalant, these books might belong to him, Bernard, in the future.
"Narant, is your crossbow machine complicated in craftsmanship? How does it compare with the trebuchet?" Keeping his regret in mind, Bernard began to ask what he wanted to know most at the moment.
"My lord, the process is not complicated. As long as the materials are complete, a carpenter who is familiar with making longbows can make it!"
"Can a carpenter who is familiar with making longbows make it?" This was somewhat beyond Bernard's expectation, but it further illustrates the value of the bed crossbow.
"Narant, after this crossbow is used in this autumn expedition, I am afraid that other counts and kings will come to purchase the manufacturing technology. I wonder what your plans are?" Bernard Stone tentatively spoke.
"Lord Earl, can I not sell it?"
Bernard did not answer directly, but changed the subject: "Nalant, at first the trebuchet was only owned by the king and the cavalry family. Later, in order to ensure the balance among the major counts and strengthen the strength of the entire principality, the king and the cavalry family owned
After discussion, we decided to let several of our other families exchange for trebuchet technology at a certain price!"
"So, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!" Nalant nodded after hearing this.
Obviously, this technology cannot be sold, and even Bernard may not be able to protect himself.
However, since Nalant took it out for use, he had long thought that such a day would come.
These weapons of war are different from sugar and other substances.
Although sugar makes money, it does not affect the overall structure of the principality.
But bed crossbows are different. As long as the army distributes them in large quantities, they can definitely change the situation.
Therefore, in order to maintain a balance, even if Bernard does not ask for Nalant, other families and kings will put pressure on Bernard.
Because, they are also worried about the dominance of the Tulip family. After all, Nalant is a member of the Tulip family.
"Your Excellency, Earl, I wonder at what price the Tulip family paid for the trebuchet technology?" After a pause, Nalant continued to speak.
In fact, Nalant was not reluctant to give up the bed crossbow technology.
What he wants is to get enough benefits. After all, the bed crossbow is only useful to those under the Silver Knight.
And when you reach the Silver Knight stage, you have enough agility to avoid crossbow arrows.
Therefore, if you can get a large amount of benefits to form an order of extraordinary knights, it will be more enjoyable.
"Our Tulip family spent almost two thousand gold coins in exchange for trebuchet technology!"
"The other earl families are similar."
"Of course, the payment method is not entirely in gold coins. Some families use elves, some use big elves, or other items. In short, the total value must be basically the same. As for the exchange of items, it can be negotiated separately by both parties!"
"Great Elf?"
"Yes, Batman's old bastard Black Iron Family used a salt mine elf in exchange for its trebuchet technology!"
"Although the big elf only has a lifespan of thirty years and is not worth two thousand gold coins, the Iron Cavalry family is located inland, and the salt mine elves in the grassland are very rare, so the two sides completed the battle.
Change!"
"Lord Earl, I understand. I will think about it carefully during this period and discuss it with each earl after the Autumn Campaign is over!"
Great elves are very precious, and small nobles basically cannot afford them, and only a few great earls can own them.
And the more useful the mineral deposits, the higher the price.
For example, it is not uncommon for salt ore ore to be worth hundreds of times more than the same type of elf.
After all, with the mineral content and lifespan of the Great Elf, it can be regarded as the pillar industry of the Great Nobles, allowing the Great Nobles to develop stably for hundreds of years.
And those mineral deposits developed by the elves are a bit like small things, and maybe there will be nothing left in ten years.
