The negotiations were specially arranged on the deck. In fact, although the cannon was heavy, it was not impossible to carry it to the land. Flar's plan was to use this as an excuse to lure Rhodes to the ship for talks.
The ship belongs to its own people, and when negotiating prices, it can also form an invisible deterrent and put a kind of psychological pressure on the opponent.
"It looks good, but I don't know how powerful it is?"
Rhodes walked up to the Flar cannon and took a close look at the bulky Big Mac. It looked very thick, and compared to ordinary artillery, its structure was extremely delicate. The barrel of the cannon was made of bronze.
It took five people to lift the launch frame, and the wheels on the bottom of the gun body were locked. According to Flair, this was to prevent the gun from sliding due to excessive wind and waves at sea.
"It's so powerful!"
Flair shouted happily, but a sinister smile flashed in the corner of his eyes.
Rhodes only felt two black bars crossing, and turned to stare at this great inventor with many titles.
"At least let me see the effect?"
Rhodes said.
"Do you want to see the effect?" Flar turned around and looked at the surrounding environment, "So, Lord, where is the nearest shooting range from here?" he asked seriously.
"In the suburbs, upstream of the river, your boat can't get in. If you take the land route, it will take about an hour."
"That's too troublesome. You're walking at a normal speed. It would be very difficult for me to carry it."
"Don't they have wheels? Open the lock cylinder and you can push it away normally."
Rhodes said.
"It's not that simple. You can walk, but it's too heavy and very slow. It takes a dozen people to push it."
Flair replied with a smile...
"By the way, I have a suggestion." The big businessman Flar pointed to the other side of the river, "Have you seen that big tree?"
Rhodes nodded. It should be said that he only saw a little bit, because the Dongquan River has become very wide at the mouth of the sea. You can see it, but it is not obvious. If the other side is not deserted, you have to find a specific tree.
I really can't find the tree.
"Anyway, there are no houses on the opposite side, so we will target that tree. I will demonstrate to you the power of the Flar cannon."
Flair said confidently. Rhodes could only nod his head in agreement.
"Lord Rhodes, you may need to take a few steps back. The recoil of this Flar cannon is very powerful, and it may accidentally injure you. Therefore, please keep a safe distance with your guards."
Flair explained, while ordering people to start carrying the shells and preparing for test firing. Quartermaster Jaros shouted at the side, ordering his men to move faster. This middle-aged man with oily hair looks very good, and he has
His clothes are neat and tidy, and he has a small goatee on his lips. He has the demeanor of a child of the imperial aristocracy. However, he looks gentle and gentle, but he is also a ruthless character. In his early years, he was an accountant of a chamber of commerce and used to embezzle public funds and make loan sharks.
He started his own business, but was later reported, so he followed the mercenary leader Flair to the border prince territory to set up his own business.
"Lord, let me tell you, this artillery is so powerful that it is so powerful that no matter on the sea or on land, as long as the Foral cannon is fired, all the cannons will be eclipsed. On my way here,
It was with this cannon that we defeated the sea monster and repel the pirates..."
While Flair urged his men to work on the deck, he did not forget to continue to sell Rhodes. Rhodes kept smiling throughout the process.
The main gunner was seen staring at the target, stepping on the pedal under the operating platform at a constant speed, adjusting the height of the turret. On the other side, the shell had been loaded into the chamber, and the firing angle was adjusted to the right position under the adjustment of another operator.
"Feel the power of steel and fire!"
Flair was full of passion. Rhodes narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.
In an instant, the gunner lit the cannon, and with deafening explosions, more than a dozen shells were fired from the side-by-side barrels, flying towards the big trees on the other side with a long roar that cut through the air.
Rhodes felt that his entire eardrum was about to be shattered. Before he could cover his ears, the first cannonball had already landed on the other side. The trunk of the big tree was broken in an instant, and the branches flew away.
A pile of dust was blown up, and after more than a dozen shells hit the ground, the big tree that had just stood on the field turned into a pile of broken wood on the ground, wrapped in scattered dust, and scattered all over the ground.
Flair picked up the telescope, looked at it in detail, and handed it to Rhodes. Little did he know that Rhodes had already used the Eagle Eye Technique to see the effect clearly. But he still had to pretend. After taking the telescope, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction.
Nod. Although this businessman from afar seems unreliable, the weapon he invented is really powerful. This power is not only lethality, but also precision. Across a river, it can attack a tree on the other side.
A single tree was smashed to pieces, and it was fired continuously... This kind of weapon, paired with a telescope, can snipe the opponent's generals from a very long distance...
But thinking about it, Rhodes couldn't show any excitement or desire to buy in front of a cunning businessman. Otherwise, it would be very easy for him to fall into his trap.
"How's it going? I'm not lying to you. The Flar cannon is definitely the masterpiece. I guarantee you that no one in this world has ever been equipped with this kind of cannon except me. With it, don't say anything.
Greenskins, ratmen, even giant dragons and sea monsters have nothing to fear."
Flair laughed and promoted, but his own name was included in his words from time to time, which really made people feel a bit happy.
"Not bad." Rhodes complimented casually, "What about the price?"
"As for the price... considering that you are the White Bear Lord, the Guardian of the North, and the Vampire Killer, I will give you a 30% discount."
Flair said, holding out two fingers with his right hand wearing a gold ring, and looked at Rhodes with a smile.
"Two thousand gold?"
Rod asked.
"No, no, no, one more digit."
Flair shook his head, greed written on his face.
"Twenty thousand?"
"Um."
After Rhodes finished speaking, "Big Businessman" Flair nodded and carefully observed Rhodes's face.
But Rhodes's face was calm and unruffled. In fact, it was impossible to be unruffled. This Flar cannon is indeed a good thing, but the price is ridiculously expensive. Twenty thousand gold is equivalent to a black gun.
The total financial revenue of Hammer Castle in the past five years. This is the economic strength that Black Hammer Castle has achieved due to its great development in the past six months. In the past, it would have taken at least ten years of gold savings to be able to afford such a sophisticated equipment.
Of course, at such a price, it is impossible for Rhodes to buy it. But the information I learned from this big businessman is that no one in the Empire or Kislev is buying it. That must be because everyone thinks the price is expensive, otherwise
, there is no way such a good guy hasn’t been promoted yet.
Flair is the lord of the Border Princely Territory, but he is also a businessman. The nature of a businessman is to make money. If the goods are backlogged for a long time, the funds will not be withdrawn. Every businessman will be anxious because of this. Not to mention the 20,000 gold crown, even if
It's a few thousand gold crowns. If you lend it out, how much interest will you get every month?
Therefore, Rhodes knew that this guy was in a hurry. He went all the way north from Tilea. The poor lords of the Border Prince would definitely not be able to buy it. In Bretonnia, the knights despised long-range weapons the most and thought that carrying them forcefully was the best option.
Real man, as for the Empire, they have their own firearms, but these things are too expensive, bulky, and impractical. Therefore, it is difficult to sell the Flar cannon along the way. It is probably this way that it was promoted to Kisri.
