Chapter 148 Crazy Nobles (7/10)
Chapter 148 Crazy Nobles (710)
After chatting with Count Longgen for a while, the battle ahead was drawing to a close. All that was left was to follow and kill them. This victory was a rare victory. The most important thing was that there were not many casualties.
Although the lives of soldiers were not important to them, the casualty rate of soldiers and the ratio to the enemy were the most direct means of measuring the level of the commander.
And these soldiers needed time and money to train. For the nobles, this was their wealth. If they could save a few soldiers, it was equivalent to preserving their wealth. Now the most important thing was to fight for military merit. Many nobles were chasing after them like crazy with their teams.
"It seems that among the more than 10,000 wild orcs this time, not even 2,000 will be able to escape. This victory is definitely the most significant victory since the war in Remas."
Even Count Longgen himself could not help but feel excited. As a commander and the owner of 100 pneumatic cannons, it can be said that Count Longgen was the biggest beneficiary of this battle.
In front, in the end, Keda was still unable to show the powerful strength of the puppeteer. Because his puppet was too slow, by the time he caught up, he had already run away to who knows where.
This time, Keda fully saw the shortcomings of his puppet. Keda, feeling embarrassed, left the place without saying a word, and had no intention of continuing to communicate with Chi Nan. Chi Nan ignored it. Even if he could let himself vent his anger at this time, it would be too offensive.
In any case, Keda was sent by the king and represented the majesty of the royal family.
The war started quickly and ended even faster. Four hours later, the chasing teams returned here one by one. Looking at their smiling faces and the large amount of spoils they brought back, you can tell that they have a good harvest.
Chi Nan didn't care much. As the provider of the pneumatic cannon, his contribution would naturally be remembered by the royal family. The greater the role of the pneumatic cannon and the pea cannon on the battlefield, the greater the benefit to him. As for the war itself, let the nobles take care of it. The credit cannot be taken by one person alone.
"Is your pneumatic cannon production high? If possible, I will buy another thousand."
Suddenly, Earl Longgen said in his ear. Chi Nan remained calm, but was very surprised. A thousand pneumatic cannons, the total price is 100,000 gold dragons, and I have never seen so many gold dragons.
This is a great noble, really rich. But Chi Nan was not blinded by money. This kind of weapon is too powerful, and it must be rare and expensive. Besides, if there are too many, God knows whether it will cause any bad associations. Even if you just want to lower the price, it will cause you to suffer heavy losses.
These things can be sold less, but the price must not be reduced, and the royal family will not let you go.
Thinking of this, Chi Nan had to consider and say: "The output is not very large, we can't sell all of it to the Earl, otherwise other nobles will have no pneumatic cannons to use. Besides, this matter is not my business."
Count Longgen looked at Chi Nan with a deep expression: "Then wait for you to continue to develop and cultivate pneumatic cannons. I think the kingdom will need more and more pneumatic cannons in the future."
After that, Count Longgen turned and left. Chi Nan looked at the back of the other party leaving and fell into deep thought: "What does he mean? Is he hinting at something to me?"
Chi Nan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it. Because the nobles who returned here soon ran to him, and many of them didn't even change their clothes, and their clothes were full of wrinkles.
That's right, it's wrinkles. Even if these nobles went to the battlefield, how many dared to rush in front of them? Not to mention blood stains, even dust is not bad. But in the eyes of many nobles, this is already very unpresentable. It can be imagined how anxious these people are to come to find me like this.
"Lord Chi Nan, Lord Chi Nan, how many of these pneumatic cannons do you have? I'll buy them all. I'll take as many as you can."
"Get out of here. Who do you think you are? You want to buy them all. Have you asked us? Lord Chi Nan, we want two hundred pneumatic cannons. Just leave the gold coins and transportation issues to us. We won't bother you at all."
"Lord Chi Nan, if you sell them to us, we will add one hundred gold dragons for each pneumatic cannon. These are all given to you privately. Don't worry, you can trust our reputation. We have a good relationship with the nobles in the south."
The south of the kingdom is the richest and the wealthiest place in the entire kingdom. Hearing that it was related to the south, many nobles in the north changed their faces and looked at them with vigilance.
Seeing that the scene in front of him was about to get out of control, Chi Nan knew that he had to stop them, otherwise once the scene was completely out of control, he would definitely be the one who would be unlucky in the end.
So Chi Nan pressed his hands down and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, please listen to me." Everyone finally quieted down.
Chi Nan said loudly: "Everyone knows that although I am cultivating this pneumatic cannon now, it does not completely belong to me. If you want to buy a pneumatic cannon, you must get the purchase qualification from the third princess. I will not hide it from you, the royal family occupies half of the share, so you know what to do."
I understand, how can I not understand. In their eyes, the royal family is just a noble family, just the leader of the nobles. Since the royal family also has a share here, then this matter is not so simple.
Those who originally had some ideas about Chi Nan immediately put down their thoughts. You know, to deal with Chi Nan now, it means to make things difficult for the royal family. However, the power of this pneumatic cannon is in front of them, and they really want it.
They are almost going crazy in their hearts, but what can they do if they can't buy it. "By the way, my application should have arrived in the imperial capital, and it won't take long to buy the pneumatic cannon. Sir Chi Nan must prepare more, so that the stock will not be out of stock by then."
Chi Nan nodded quickly: "Of course, please rest assured." In fact, he had already written a letter to communicate with Sophia.
When others saw this, they were immediately annoyed. Why didn't they think of it. Some people who had already written letters were proud, making you guys so brainless, and now you regret it. Many people hurried out, clamoring for paper and pen to start writing letters to apply for qualifications. These nobles were even more fanatical than the soldiers at this time.
