Realm of Power

"Hmph! I have long said that not everyone has the opportunity to join the business alliance." Seeing the embarrassed look on the fat man's face, the arrogant young nobleman behind Longsqimoer snorted disdainfully. He made a sound and said sarcastically

"This matter requires our Gillix family to come forward. My uncle used to be the vice president of the Business Alliance, and now he is a third-level qualified merchant recognized by the Business Alliance. The entire cloth trade in Kyoto is controlled by our Gillix family. Responsible, this face is not comparable to that of an unknown family deacon! "

"Haha, really!" The fat man smiled in agreement. For the young man in front of him who didn't understand anything and still liked to show off, the fat man had long lost interest in teaching him a lesson. He stood up from his seat casually and said, said with a serious face

"Since the Gillix family is willing to help, I don't need to say anything more, but how did I hear that the Gillix family is only a second-rate family in Zivadin. Not to mention monopolizing the cloth trade in Kyoto, it is also the leather trade every winter. It only accounts for less than one tenth!

The fat man shook his head helplessly, "Can such a second-rate family influence the decision of the business alliance?"

"You, you're talking nonsense!" The fat man's words were like a needle prick, making the arrogant young man jump up, staring at the fat man angrily, like a rooster with fried hair all over, in exchange for just one of the fat man's Roll eyes

"Young man! There must be a limit to lying. Not everything can be said nonsense."

The fat man paused and said sternly, "If the facts you exaggerated just now reach the ears of the Business Alliance, I'm afraid the Leakes family's trade pass will be over!"

"You, you!..." The young nobleman was obviously guilty. The fat man was right. The Business Alliance paid great attention to the honesty and credibility of businessmen, and even had a special level of integrity.

Exaggerated language like those just now is enough for the business alliance to lower the credit rating of Cricks. Because of the lowering of the credit rating, many goods that require a credit rating will not be able to be operated, and many contracts that have been signed will not be fulfilled.

Not only will this cause the Kriske family to lose a lot of money, but it will also snowball and their reputation will plummet due to the broken promise. This will definitely be disastrous for the Kriske family.

"That's enough, Jiktumulun! If you don't want to cause trouble to the family, you'd better apologize to this adult immediately."

A steady voice came, and another young nobleman who had been silent walked up. He was slightly older than the nobleman just now, and his handsome face was somewhat similar to the nobleman just now. There was an indescribable calmness about him. temperament

The fat man blinked his eyes and said nothing. The young nobleman bowed respectfully to the fat man.

"Honorable lord, I am Gillisek of the Gillix family, the head of the family in Dantus. I would like to express my most sincere apology to you for my brother's rude behavior just now!

I hope you can forget my poor brother's nonsense! He just came to Satsuma from Kyoto recently, and he still doesn’t understand many of the rules. I hope you don’t mind! To show my sincerity, our Gillicks family will bear all your expenses here.”

"Haha, don't worry, I have always been very tolerant towards young people! Besides, you are Jones Nelly's friends, and her friends are my friends. How can I be the same as my friends?" The fat man smiled boldly, since the other party lowered his If you lose your posture, you can't chase after you.

The fat man looked up and down Jilishek with his sharp eyes, and felt that Jilishek in front of him was very good. As a child of the Jilish family,

The older Gilisek was much wiser and more stable than his younger brother, who was ignorant of the world. The fat man could see the philistine of a businessman in him, and he also vaguely sensed a good aristocratic upbringing.

Fatty couldn't help but be attracted by this good quality. The business center in the northern part of Samoa just needed a young and determined person in charge who could expand business and deal with the wealthy northern family, the Stian Kusai family.

"Let's do this! I still have urgent matters and need to go to the southern suburbs. If you believe me, wait for me at the entrance of the Commercial Alliance tomorrow morning. I will help with the freight station!"

The fat man stood up and looked at the sky outside. It was already past noon. He remembered that he had to go to the research institute on the outskirts of the city. He quickly took the riding whip from the guards around him and pointed it at the two nearest guards.

"You two stay here and are responsible for the safety of the two ladies. Miss Jones Nelly is my collaborator. If anything goes wrong, you don't have to come back."

"Yes, sir, please don't worry." When the two guards heard the fat man saying that Jones Nelly was a collaborator, they looked at each other strangely and muttered to themselves, "A collaborator of the Governor? Could it be...\

,""Dear young lady, just tell me what you have ordered, and we will get it done!" The two of them quickly and solemnly saluted Jones Nelly. Jones Nelly looked surprised and wanted to hide, but the fat man grabbed her and said, My collaborator, such etiquette is necessary. Although I would like to accompany you into the city in person, time waits for no one. Trust me, I will give you a big surprise tomorrow!"

"I hope you are telling the truth this time!" Jones Nelly's eyes were red. She didn't expect that she had just seen the fat man and was about to leave again. She whispered in a whimpering voice and watched the fat man mount his horse and disappear wrapped in dust. On the city road in the distance, Jones Nelly felt her eyes blurred, and a voice in her heart asked, "Which one is the real you?"

The Weapons Research Institute is located on a single-sided cliff on the southern outskirts of Rivadin. It has a white and quiet manor, beautiful and elegant gardens, and the only uphill passage with hidden sentries on both sides. From three miles away, this area is designated as the Samoer restricted area. , claiming to the outside world that this is the "Xiamen Palace of the Governor of Samoa"

When the fat man arrived, it was already evening, and the gorgeous sunset covered the white manor with a layer of gold. The person in charge of the institute, the alchemist master Lida Hill, who had received the notification, was already waiting at the gate and saw the fat man's figure. Welcoming him with a face full of joy

"Damn fat man! You're finally here. How much money did you bring this time! The things you want to make cost too much and almost take up all my research funds! If you can't compensate me, don't even think about taking away the finished product. "Lida Hill is still the same, opening and closing his mouth just to get research funds. Even the wealthy fat man secretly calls this old man "a money-hungry guy!"

This time Fatty came to the institute for several new weapons that will be equipped with the troops. The first one is the horizontal spear, which is an upgraded version of the spearman. When paired with the flexible three-meter spear, it can effectively restrain various enemy arms. , which was fully reflected in the Battle of Tarturens, as the main weapon of this large-scale equipment force

The second type is a modified infantry crossbow. On the original wooden handle crossbow, a lever that can pull the bow string is added. This can greatly increase the crossbowman's loading speed and basically meet the requirement of shooting twice a minute, allowing New recruits can also reach the speed of skilled crossbowmen. Senior crossbowmen in the main battle force can even reach four reloads per minute.

The last one, and the most important one, is the Thor who once defeated the Left Guard Cavalry. Because of the instability of the Thor, half of the Thors in the Battle of the Left Guard had their barrels exploded after firing a few cannons, causing Fat Man After only using it once, I had to go back and redesign it.

After research and analysis, master alchemist Lida Hill firmly believed that it was caused by the rifling in the Thor squeezing the cannonball. The new Thor canceled the rifling design and had a bottom-triggered trackless smoothbore barrel. In order to facilitate transportation, the original The long barrel has been reduced by half, and its range has been reduced to less than 400 meters, which is more practical.

In Fatty's vision, these weapons will form the main weapons of the Samoer troops in the future, with horizontal spears as the skeleton, infantry crossbows as the sniper line, and finally the lightweight thunder god that dominates the formation to crush the opponent.
