I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 148 Arms Sales

"You don't know that Lord Alpha made his debut at the age of fifteen and formed a mercenary group at the age of eighteen. In just five years, he fought wars across the grasslands and was invincible. He conquered cities, expanded territory, and led the army forward bravely. He resolved the empire's urgent needs several times and saved the people from the suffering of war. Although he was famous, he was never complacent and remained humble and cautious, winning the love of the military and civilians. His achievements are legendary and will be recorded in history forever." Mist was indeed a first-class eloquence. Even Alpha himself did not know that his experience was so brilliant.

After hearing what Mist said, the soldiers fell silent. They knew little about Alpha's great achievements. They only knew that he was young and promising, and had made great military achievements.

Mist silently observed the expressions of the soldiers and waited. He knew that these young people needed time to think and understand the value of Alpha; they needed to be motivated and inspired to stimulate their inner passion and fighting spirit.

After a while, the soldiers raised their heads, their eyes sparkling. They no longer doubted Lord Alpha's ability, nor did they complain about their fate. They knew that in this dangerous wasteland, only by uniting as one could they survive; only by following Lord Alpha could they achieve victory.

So, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and momentum, shouting the name of Master Alpha and marching towards the distance. They believed that under the leadership of Master Alpha, they would be able to defeat all enemies and meet future challenges.

This is the "God-making Plan" that Phyllis developed for Alpha. In this era of spiritual emptiness, if people are not given some faith, their minds will be occupied by other things. Rather than being passively used by others, it is better to take the lead.

"Mr. Mist, Captain Alpha is so powerful, can we do business with you?" Guromas knew very well that it was best to remain silent or change the subject at this moment to avoid touching the other party's reverse scale.

"What kind of trade do you want to do? We can conduct any free trade here. As long as you want it, we can provide it. The price is fair and reasonable, and we will not cheat anyone." Mist naturally would not forget his responsibilities.

"We have food, cloth, herbs, animal skins, ginseng and so on." These were the only primary products that Guromas could offer, and he was not sure whether the other party would appreciate them.

"Okay, we'll buy them all, whether it's raw materials or primary products, we want them all. As for luxury goods, such as luxurious porcelain, silk, etc., we don't want them." Although Mist knew that Eastern silk and porcelain were among the most gorgeous handicrafts in the world, their newly started mining city had no use for these things.

"Okay, then we will trade all the primary products." For the declining aristocratic family behind the ancient Romans, these primary products are the only ones available for trade.

"Then do you have the various mineral resources we need, such as copper, iron, manganese, tungsten, etc.?" Of course, this is what Lord Alpha needs, and Mist is just a mouthpiece now.

"What? Do you still need iron ore? There are several large iron ore areas around." Guromas was a little confused.

"The main reason is that our demand is too great, and the current production capacity is completely unable to meet it." This is the truth. The main means of transportation is still horse-drawn carriages, which are not on the same level at all. However, the first train test product is already on the way, and Alpha has begun to request the construction of the 200-kilometer railway between the Titanium Ore City and the Iron Ore City.

"So what do you need?" Mist knew very well that business could only be sustained through a virtuous cycle of buying and selling.

"We need equipment and weapons." Hillier was impatient and didn't speak until now.

"Okay, I'll take you to see our weapons and equipment area." Nowadays, weapons and equipment are hard currency on this continent, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money. Currently, Alpha's Titanium Mine City has six equipment factories, mainly three types of equipment.

The first type is three ordinary equipment factories, which produce some ordinary iron equipment, mainly for the development of trade. Although it is just ordinary iron equipment, its quality is better than the external fine products. After all, Alpha has improved the properties of steel, and these are all refined steel products.

The second type is the Metal Gear Factory, which produces a small amount of Metal Gear made from Black Armor or Titanium Armor alloys. There are two of them. Alpha knows that manganese and tungsten metals are added to Black Armor, and is now studying its proportion and conducting experiments. These special equipment are mainly provided to Alpha's allies. Of course, Alpha will also sell them to others as long as the price is fair.

The third category is self-produced equipment, which is a strictly proportioned titanium alloy equipment and black armor equipment. Titanium alloy equipment is light and has good defense, but the output still cannot meet the requirements. Black armor equipment is heavy and has high density, but it is better than titanium alloy in other aspects, and has a huge advantage in heavy armor.

Mister led Guromas and Hillier to the weapons and equipment trading market in the Titanium Mine City. It was crowded with people and very lively, with all kinds of vendors shouting one after another. They walked through the crowd and came to a large booth.

Various weapons and equipment were displayed on the booth, including spears, daggers, bows and arrows, battle axes, armor and shields, etc. The appearance of these weapons and equipment was very gorgeous, some were glittering, and some were unique in shape, which was dazzling.

"Dear guests, welcome to our weapons and equipment trading market. The weapons and equipment here are all carefully crafted and the quality is guaranteed. We provide all kinds of weapons and equipment, whether they are ordinary weapons or high-quality weapons. As long as you need them, we can meet your needs." The merchant in front of the booth saw Guromas, Hillier and others, and immediately came up to them, enthusiastically introducing the weapons and equipment on the booth.

Mist stood in front of the booth and carefully examined each piece of weapon and equipment. He noticed that these weapons and equipment were of excellent quality, made of high-quality materials, and had exquisite craftsmanship.

"These weapons and equipment are indeed excellent, but how do you ensure the quality and quantity of the products?" asked Guromas. After all, weapons and equipment of this era are all made by skilled old blacksmiths, and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of each one.

The merchant smiled and nodded when he heard what Guromas said. "Because we use new technology and craftsmanship, the quality of our products is very reliable. We provide ready-made goods, so you don't have to worry about not being able to deliver them."

"Your products are very ordinary. I thought they were very high-end." Hillier glanced at the exhibits and sneered.

"My dear guest, you don't know this," the waiter explained patiently, "our products are basically standard equipment. Of course, we also have magic equipment, but the quantity is scarce, the price is high, and we cannot mass-produce them." Titanium Mine City is currently unable to produce magic equipment, but Phyllis bought a few pieces from the Balor Auction House as decorations.

"Bring me your best weapons, I want to see what they are." Hillier had high standards because the sword in his hand was a magic weapon.

The merchant turned and walked into the crowd, and soon came out with a magic dagger in his hand. The blade of this magic dagger was silver-white, and a blue gem was inlaid on the hilt, emitting a faint magical light.

"This is an advanced magic dagger with a freezing effect. It can freeze the enemy for one second." The merchant introduced.

"Freezing effect? ​​Interesting." Hillier took the magic dagger, waved it a few times, and felt the power of the magic dagger.

"Tsk tsk tsk, although this magic dagger is a good weapon, it still cannot compare with my fire-attribute long sword. Do you have any other magic equipment here?" Hillier said with disdain.

"Of course we do, but it still cannot compare with the fire-attributed sword in your hand. Your weapon is a top-grade product. We only have high-quality magic armor, magic shields, magic arrows and other magic equipment. Which one do you need?" The businessman sold enthusiastically.

"Sorry, we need ordinary standard equipment. Do you have any higher-level standard equipment?" Guromas knew what kind of equipment he needed. Magic weapons are good, but they are expensive and ordinary people can't afford them. At present, the only magic knight group on the continent is the Discipline Paladin of the Holy See of Light, and it is only the most advanced one.

"Guromas, the legion we have built certainly needs the best weapons and equipment. How can we be careless?" Hillier persisted, obviously very interested.

"Master, our funds are limited and we cannot afford too much expense for advanced equipment." Looking at the price list, Guromas' heart sank. Even with the equipment in front of him, it can only equip less than 3,000 people. If it is replaced with more advanced equipment, the number of people will be even smaller. On this continent, the number of people is the foundation of the army. If the number of people is too small, it will be meaningless.

"Do you know who we are? We are not short of money. Let me tell you, we are..." Hillier was about to introduce himself, but was covered his mouth by Guromas in time.

"Master, we must act in secret this time and not reveal our identities, otherwise we will be in danger." Guromas pulled Hillier into a corner and talked in secret.

"I'm a prince, who dares to mess with me?"

"Your Highness, this is Portos, not the Fatalia Empire." Guromas was a little helpless. Whether in Portos or the Fatalia Empire, this royal family had no power.

"But we must buy equipment this time. If the funds are sufficient, I will choose high-level equipment. As for magic equipment, that is impossible." Guromas decided that since he had to buy equipment, the higher the better. Even ordinary equipment would be considered high-level in the Fatalia Empire. In the empire, except when encountering the Black Armor Knights, he would not be at a disadvantage in terms of equipment.

"I see."

"Can you show us some higher-level armaments?" Guromas was eager to compare the differences between the two sides and understand the prices in order to obtain products with higher cost performance.

"Of course you can, but please note that the purchase of higher-level armaments will be subject to some quantity restrictions. The Administrative Office has set a purchase limit, and ordinary people can only purchase a maximum of ten sets. Since the second-line troops of the Titanium Mine City use the same equipment, the production is very limited, and these equipment are not currently for sale. If it is not necessary for market expansion, we will not sell armaments to the outside world." The salesperson explained in advance.

"Let's go take a look first."
