i have a magic world

Crossbows are easier to master than bows.

Therefore, among his purchases of weapons, crossbows accounted for the majority and bows accounted for the minority.

However, the aborigines of Naloa are martial, especially those who are adventurers and mercenaries.

The bow holding rate is still relatively high.

Pulling out a longbow team temporarily is not a problem at all.

When the catastrophe broke out before, Chen Xuan was deeply impressed by the longbow thrown by the defenders of Magtan City.

Before the popularity of firearms, crossbows were still the best choice for long-range attacks.

Even after firearms are fully popularized, bows and crossbows can still be used as a reserve force for long-range strikes.

So as to be prepared.

After all, it is not easy to get enough firearms and ammunition to arm 30 to [-] people.

Even if it is all light weapons, this is not a small amount.

If you want to build several complete infantry divisions in Magtan City.

Then Chen Xuan had to prepare even more.

Forming a modern army is not just a matter of playing tricks. Weapons, armaments and training must be kept up.

On Blue Star's side, the troops of Burma Junzheng Ax turned over and over again, only hundreds of thousands.

And those civilians with a military strength of [-] to [-] are already regional hegemons.

This is why Chen Xuan actively expands international channels at Blue Star.

This includes finding international intermediaries with sufficient size and connections.

And go to Ermao's house, which is currently the most sensitive, to play the autumn wind.

If not, what should Chen Xuan use to arm the entire city of Magtan?

As for the establishment of a large army in the future, he needs to have enough territory in Naroya.

Move the production line directly to self-sufficiency.

Orichalcum and black iron can even be used to produce weapons instead of Blue Star's steel and copper.

The improvement of the runes of weapons is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

All of these need to be realized step by step by Chen Xuan.

It is not something that can be achieved with a single thought in the head.

In addition to bows and crossbows, Chen Xuan purchased a lot of standard equipment specialized in defensive counterattacks.

For example, a shield with advanced design ideas has strong practicality.

Not only can it be equipped with individual soldiers, but it can also be temporarily formed.

The shield surface is an approximately rectangular arc surface.

The innermost layer is a layer of four-eye cowhide, which can effectively reduce the impact.

The penultimate layer is iron plow wood, which is soft on the inside and hard on the outside, suitable for resisting piercing by arrows and spears.

The third layer is mountain copper with a thickness of about half a centimeter, and the fourth layer, which is the outer layer, is black iron.

The thickness is about three centimeters.

The thickness of the entire shield reaches eight centimeters.

It has a width of 55 cm and a length of 85 cm.

Each layer has been reinforced with second-level runes, and the edges have been riveted and reinforced.

The black iron on the outermost layer of the shield has another mystery, it can protrude a centimeter long spike.

The overall defense effect of this spiked shield is impressive.

It can effectively resist attacks of silver level and below.

It also has a certain resistance to magic of the same level.

Even in the face of super-level blows, as long as they don't bear it head-on, there is a certain chance of being able to resist it.

Best of all, the repair cost of this thing is not high.

Replace which layer is damaged.

The strengthening runes that are compiled are only common runes such as [Strength], [Shock Absorption], and [Self-Blunting].

The blacksmith shop in Bangcheng is fully capable of repairing it in batches.

These are just some of its advantages.

What really interested Chen Xuan was its structural design.

There are joints on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of this shield.

Shields with two different sides can be spliced ​​and combined at will from four directions.

In other words, it is not only a thorn shield, but also can be combined into a thorn shield wall.

Recalling that when the catastrophe broke out, those shield warriors selected from among the mercenaries and adventurers on the outer defense line were holding all kinds of shields, and Chen Xuan felt dizzy.

The melee shield soldiers of the garrison are equipped with standard shields.

But it's just a very ordinary square shield, not even strengthened by runes.

These are all for cost considerations.

So after seeing the good stuff now, Chen Xuan's heart was moved immediately.

Rune equipment and armor of the same level are usually more expensive than non-alien weapons.

Because more materials are used, the process is also more complicated.

The price of each side of this second-order spiked shield is 1950 crowns.

Chen Xuan purchased 1000 noodles directly, and the unit price was discounted by 100 crowns, which is not a bad discount.

Calculated to order the spur shield alone, he spent 1850000 crowns, not counting the bows and crossbows ordered before.

In addition, Chen Xuan also purchased many special-type crossbow bolts and arrows.

For example, rune-piercing arrows with armor-piercing effects, or fire bolts that can trigger ignition after hitting.

Compared with ordinary goods, the unit price of these arrows and crossbow bolts is more than ten times higher.

Ordinary arrows can be purchased in a bundle of 60 for 30 crowns.

A bundle of these special arrows costs 830 crowns.

And the lethality is not particularly amazing.

It's just much stronger than ordinary arrows/bolts.

The things are not cheap, but they can't hold back Chen Xuan's wealth.

A total of 7 kinds of special arrows/crossbow bolts, Chen Xuan bought 1000 bundles of each.

Here again an outlay of several million crowns.

In this forging firm, Chen Xuan spent more than 1000 million crowns.

Originally, he wanted to purchase more quantities.

However, the inventory of the firm can't keep up.

Just for the part he ordered, he had to wait almost ten naroya days to complete the handover.

The same is true for other forging firms, and they will not prepare so much inventory.

However, there is one or several blacksmith workshops behind such forging firms.

As long as the order is placed, under normal circumstances, it can basically be delivered as scheduled.

The payment method is still 3:3:4.

Chen Xuan paid [-]% of the payment, and got what the stock could satisfy on the spot.

After all, he still took advantage of it a little.

After leaving the address of Magtan City and telling them to find Baron Bezos to hand over, Chen Xuan left in a hurry.

This wave of bulk commodity purchases has basically solved the inventory problem of food, mineral materials and standard equipment in Magtan City for a period of time to come.

Go back to the No. [-] Black Leaf Shop.

In front of the station of the deepwater valley mining business group.

The expected scene of enthusiastic loading did not appear.

The dwarf steward Reza Ironstone was sweating profusely and explaining something to a man wearing noble attire.

Chen Xuan approached from behind silently, just like other customers.

There was no scruple in the conversation between the two parties, so he easily heard the content of the conversation.

"Sorry, Honorable Lord Tris Landau."

"The goods at the station have been ordered by the customer an hour ago."

"The other party paid a fee of 300 million kronor."

"According to the rules, this deal has already been settled."

"For the reputation of Deepwater River Valley, I cannot break the contract."

"Maybe you can choose to buy from other mining business groups."

Reza Ironstone looked a little nervous, but he didn't back down.

From the meaning of his words, it is not difficult to see what kind of rude request was made by the guy called Lord Tris Landau.

The meaning of the last sentence is already clear.

But as soon as these words came out, Triss, who was wearing noble clothes, was angered.

He grabbed Reza Ironstone by the collar.

It made the opponent's decent gentleman's clothes have a few more folds.

"Damn it, I'm a dark gold card customer of Deep Water Valley."

"Is this how you do business?"

"Do you want to drive big customers to your peers?"

Lord Tris Landau looked to be in his thirties.

The title of the kingdom is very prestigious.

Some nobles don't even have lands.

Those who have a territory will have to compete on the size of the territory.

This place is under the jurisdiction of the Atax giant city, and there can be no second giant city.

Therefore, the opponent's territory should be within the scope of the state city at best.

But you can get the title of earl as the ruler of the state city.

It proved that the Landau family he belonged to should not be some unknown noble family.

Chen Xuan had no interest in the lengthy and bloated aristocratic system of the Kingdom of Duroa.

But he still has a general understanding of these common-sense issues.

It is worth mentioning that Earl Tris was followed by four knights in silver armor.

These knights wear full face helmets and a long, showy feather on top of their heads.

On the chest of the armor is the emblem of two longhorn cattle walking side by side.

It is estimated that it should be the collar emblem of Tris or the family emblem of the Landau family.

These four knights are highly disciplined and their posture is meticulous.

At his waist are cavalry double-edged swords, each of which shone with the brilliance of the elements.

It looks like it should be a high-level magic weapon.

In addition, Chen Xuan also noticed that they were wearing dark gold battle emblems on their chests.

That was the Golden Knight certification of the Kingdom of Duaro.

This means that the four knights in front of them are all gold-level powerhouses.

Moreover, he is a warrior who has received rigorous knight training.

These well-trained knights are more capable of fighting than the gold-level powerhouses among adventurers and mercenaries.

Of course, those combat-experienced freaks are out of scope for this comparison.

For example, Satyr, the Zerikan female warrior who inherited the will of the Blackwater Swordsman, is like this.

But no matter what, the fact that he was accompanied by four golden knights for protection is enough to prove that the arrogant and domineering Earl Tris Landau still has some background.

At least it is much better than Baron Bezos, who relied on currying favor with his wife.

And Chen Xuan also heard the subtext in his words.

It's just that this guy is also the "Supreme VIP" of the Deepwater Valley Mining Group and holds a Dark Gold Card.

At the same time, he also has an urgent need to purchase mineral materials today.

Unexpectedly, he suffered a dull loss here at the station of the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchant Group.

It just so happened that Chen Xuan had just scanned all the inventory here, and it would take time to restock and restock later.

A dandy with such a bad temper as Count Tris would not be able to wait any longer.

The most important thing is that the Anjin Card has discounts.

But Reza Blackstone asked him to go to other mining companies to buy.

Doesn't this mean that the discount for the dark gold card is in vain?

Coupled with Reza's resolute unwillingness to give up the goods, Tris Randall was successfully angered.

However, one characteristic of dwarves is persistence.

To put it bluntly, he is called Tietouwa.

In order to track down the mysterious warhead, Jason Iron Furnace did not hesitate to go to the scene of Chen Xuan's troubles many times.

It was almost time to track down Chen Xuan's clues.

It can be seen that the persistence of the dwarves is really reflected in all aspects.

In this regard, Reza Blackstone is no exception.

After he was grabbed by the collar, the apology and flattery on his face disappeared instead.

Instead, there was a touch of seriousness.

"Dear Your Excellency Tris."

"I need to remind you that this is the shop of Black Leaf Sentinel."

"And I'm the person in charge of the registration at the Black Leaf Outpost of the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchant Corps."

"Any of your acts of violence and forced purchases will be punished by the laws of the Kingdom."

"The patrol team at Black Leaf Sentinel Point will show no mercy."

"And the Deepwater Valley Mining Business Group also reserves the right to pursue your actions."

But don't say it, these words made Triss a little afraid.

The Black Leaf sentry point belongs to the sentry point directly under the giant city. It is essentially a military fortress, not a specialized trading city.

There is a strict set of rules here.

Everyone must comply.

Tris Landau is no exception.

Unless someone can overwhelm Marquis Andrea Ferre, who rules the giant city.

And the Deepwater Valley Mining Business Group is not an unknown mining group.

They trade in three of the five human kingdoms.

There are so many stations in various places.

It also has a mine protection army affiliated with the merchant group.

The combat effectiveness of this army is not even much worse than the outer legions of the imperial city.

It is better than the elite corps in the general giant city.

To sum up, Reza Blackstone's righteous and stern warning finally made him restrain himself.

I saw Earl Triss slowly let go of his hand.

"Humph!"

"In that case, if I can convince that buyer."

"It should be in line with the rules of your business group to ask him to transfer some of the mineral materials to me."

Hearing his words, Reza had a look of worry on her face.

But after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"certainly…"

"But I still don't recommend that you..."

He was interrupted by Tris Landau before he could finish his sentence.

I saw this domineering nobleman tidy up his brocade clothes, and then showed a seemingly gentle smile.

"It's not something you should worry about."

"You said to follow the rules, then I will follow the rules."

"Blue Wind Castle urgently needs to purchase a batch of mineral materials to strengthen its defense."

"So no matter what, I must take a batch of goods and leave today."

"And you and the Deepwater Valley Merchant Group failed my trust."

"Speaking of which, in the past few Naloa years, the amount of mineral materials purchased by Blue Wind Castle here should be nearly ten million kroner."

Earl Tris intends to target the buyer.

He thought it was a good plan.

So he returned to his complacent look.

He even ridiculed Reza Heishi, who was not interested.

But saw Reza's lips murmuring, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He just made a gesture towards the back, signaling the shop assistants to continue stocking up.

Chen Xuan, who was standing behind eating melons, almost completely witnessed the whole process.

When he heard that this guy wanted to squat himself, he immediately frowned.

He can't beat the succubus of the general level, or it's not worth fighting.

But Tris Randall in front of him is still easy to clean up.

Even if he is followed by four golden knights! (end of this chapter)
