The next day, Edward and his party calmed down and brought along Knight Saoirse, who knew the inside story of the North.
They rushed to the military camp aggressively, intending to demand an explanation from someone.
The one who received them was still Lian, who was in the military camp training soldiers.
"Why are you looking for me again? Shouldn't you go learn how to use the long-range projector?"
It is naturally impossible for Lian to personally teach how to use weapons. This kind of laborious and unprofitable work can be done by asking one of his subordinates to do it.
Lian asked doubtfully while processing the internal documents of the secret unit.
Seeing that Lian didn't even raise her head, Saoirse immediately felt disgusted. Saoirse didn't like Li, and naturally she didn't like the women around Li.
"Frel Lian, you only took one YiTouBao and wanted to defraud the kingdom of its military funds. This is too much!"
Saoirse punched Lian's desk, causing the ornaments on it to jump.
Lian held the ink bottle that was about to fall over and glared at Saoirse with disgust.
"You are a wandering Templar Knight. What qualifications do you have to give orders here? If Li hadn't given you a break, you would have spent all this time in the dungeon!"
"I admit it! It's an honor to be treated so kindly, and I am very grateful to you, but I am negotiating with you on behalf of the kingdom now, and I will repay this favor in the future!"
As soon as they arrived at the military camp, Saoirse and Lian started arguing.
The woman's quarrel was so fierce that Edward and the others standing behind her didn't know whether they should stop her.
"You represent the kingdom, right? It was agreed before that the kingdom would purchase our military supplies. Do you want to negate the deal that has already been reached?"
"You're just selling a bunch of useless stuff! You're just wasting the kingdom's wealth!"
Lian threw away the pen and locked the important documents in the drawer next to her.
"Useless things? Ask the people behind you and see if they think those are useless things. When can you, a Templar Knight stranded in the North, represent the kingdom?"
The Yi Tou Bao brought out by the North may be just mediocre among all the new weapons.
But for a kingdom that doesn't even have new weapons, YiTouBao is indeed worth trading.
Edward raised his hand to interrupt their quarrel.
“E-TouBao is great, we…”
"Shut up!"
Edward was yelled at by Saoirse, and Saoirse stared at him fiercely with a look that showed she would not allow him to surrender first.
Lian was somewhat surprised to see that Saoirse could really control the power of speech in the kingdom.
Because according to Lian's understanding of the kingdom, the kingdom would not employ someone with a complicated identity like Saoirse.
"It seems that there have been major changes in the Kingdom as well~"
Facing Lian's teasing, Saoirse snorted coldly.
"We need to increase the number of orders for YiTouBao, and we also need to include the rapid-fire magic gun in this transaction!"
Selling YiTouBao to the Kingdom was Li's strategy, and Lian could make the decision whether to increase it or not.
But Lian was a little undecided about the magic guns issued to the soldiers.
Lian, like Saoirse, is well aware of the importance of arming ordinary soldiers.
In the past, even if soldiers were given swords and spears, it was difficult to improve the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers.
But the emergence of magic guns has given ordinary people powerful combat capabilities.
"Why, Miss Freyr doesn't dare to make the decision~"
Seeing Lian showing hesitation, Saoirse took the opportunity to mock her.
Lian was not angry, she just felt that this decision was very hot.
Whether to sell the magic gun and how much to sell, these heavy decisions made Lian feel how difficult it was for Li.
"If you can't make a decision, call out your fiancé."
"…Sorry, he can't come. I am fully responsible for this transaction."
"Isn't Li going to see us? Is he hiding?"
"No, he has already left the North, so the task of entertaining you has fallen on me."
Li is not in the North!
"How is this possible? I saw him two days ago!"
Silsa was a little panicked. Li was not in her sight, which meant that Li would make another big move. How could she not panic?
"He left yesterday."
The group representing the royal capital were all stunned when they heard the news.
Combined with what Saoirse said, that Lee wanted to start a war, an indescribable panic appeared in everyone.
Li acted too fast!
The Kingdom...The Kingdom is simply not that efficient!
This time, even Edward could not sit still. He was eager to end the transaction and return to the capital with the supplies as soon as possible.
"We are willing to pay more, even if you only sell us some samples!"
Edward, who originally wanted to bargain, completely lost the desire to argue this time.
On the contrary, Lian took the initiative to make great concessions.
"Based on the previous order, we will sell an additional company of magic guns, and give you a large transport vehicle, so you can pull the things back directly~"
Upon learning that transport vehicles could also be bought and sold, Edward slapped his head in regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would have bought fewer weapons and equipment and gotten two more transport vehicles.
Increasing logistics transport capabilities is much more useful than deploying combat power to the front lines.
Lian smiled wickedly and waved goodbye to the fools.
The profit from selling weapons to the royal capital was six or seven times the original price. I really hope Edward can come again next time.
Edward and his party were all silent when they left the military camp. Even Saoirse, who joined later, was surprised at how quickly the situation changed.
"The people of the North are so cunning!"
“We were completely caught off guard!”
"I don't know what Li is doing after leaving the Northland."
The unknown always makes people irritated. Instead of doing things secretly, Li might as well just fight directly.
After returning to the hotel and packing their things, they immediately headed to the agreed location.
A large transport truck loaded with supplies had already stopped on the main road from Windmill River Bay to the royal capital.
The final handover was handled by the female soldiers under Lian's command, who brought with them a driver who was skilled in driving transport vehicles.
"Everyone, our driver will take you back to the capital safely..."
"No need! It's just a transporter, I can drive it too!"
Lian had good intentions in arranging for a driver to come over, but was rejected by the overly defensive Silsa.
Now, the most important thing for the people in the capital is how fast they can get back. Silsa suspects that the driver sent by the northerners will deliberately cause trouble on the road.
Taking the wrong road, or having a minor accident, or even deliberately slowing down, will seriously delay your return journey.
At this critical moment when everyone was racing against time to get the message back, the people in the royal capital did not want to hand over the initiative to the people in the north.
Seeing that they refused so straightforwardly, the female soldier in charge did not force them.
They imitated their leader and smiled slyly.
The female soldier in charge shouted commands and all the soldiers lined up in neat rows.
"One, two! I wish you a safe journey!"
