After discussing the details of the transaction for a while, Ashley began to tell her trading items.

"According to your requirements, this transaction is bartered. I prepared armor and crossbows produced by the Empire, both of which are from the workshop with the best reputation in the Empire."

Under Ashley's leadership, Link boarded a cargo ship on the side of the empire.

The most famous of the empire are armor and crossbows. The metallurgical technology of the Continent brought the strongest armor under the same weight.

As the origin of crossbows, the empire has a long history of using crossbows. From the Cubas Empire in the Old Continent to the New Continent, the empire's crossbow technology has been innovating and improving in the past few hundred years.

As the strongest official combat power of the Empire, the National Immortal Knights were also equipped with crossbow weapons, which shows how much the Empire attaches importance to crossbows.

Although the steel crossbows that Link bought at the Pirate Conference were first-class in texture and thick in material, their range was not as good as those produced by the Empire.

Not only is the range less than that of all steel crossbows, the weight of the entire steel crossbow is far greater than that of the imperial engineer crossbows. The engineer crossbows only use steel structures, but their power is similar to those of those steel crossbows, and their range is far beyond that of almost the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

Link looked at the engineer crossbows used to display on the deck, and the light in his eyes had never been extinguished. This was the real killing weapon. He could already imagine how much combat effectiveness the men who advanced to the "Rodoc elite crossbowmen" could exert after preparing this engineer crossbow.

‘If you encounter those Nord longbowmen in the future, you will have the power to fight back.’

When fighting with Nord Longbowman, the scene of the mountain crossbowmen not having enough range and being forced to retreat has been remembered by Link.

"How many engineer crossbows are there?"

Link turned around and asked Ashley, a weapon like this with the unique technology of the empire, gave Link the most headache.

Because you know how powerful it is, but you can't buy it even if you have money.

Workshops with this kind of production process will be subject to imperial control, and the crossbows they produce will only be sold to major lords in the empire, as well as military departments such as the navy and the army.

Anyone who is capable of buying here is untouchable to Link. Even if he has tens of thousands of gold snake coins, he still has no way to buy it.

"1200 pair of engineer crossbows and supporting arrows, but engineer crossbows are not delicate, and ordinary arrows can also be used on them."

Ashley clearly saw that Link was very satisfied with these engineer crossbows, and she had spent a lot of effort to get these crossbows.

"How did you get it?"

Link now even suspects that the Empire Customs was run by the Barence family, and so many prohibited weapons were transported out.

Ashley's Imperial Navy Third Independence Fleet, the 50 four-masted battleships should have about 5,000 combat personnel. It is reasonable to submit the application to be equipped with so many engineer crossbows.

In just half a year, Ashley can make another report. The maritime environment is complex, the tropical areas are stuffy and humid, and it is normal for engineer crossbows to be scrapped in this case.

In this way, Ashley can legally float these engineer crossbows in the official program. What's even better is that the engineer crossbows purchased by Ashley himself would not have a naval supervisory department to monitor their maintenance status, and all factors were so cleverly combined.

"This is just a small part. Look at the side, I have also prepared a lot of armor."

Without answering Link's question directly, Ashley pointed to the area where the armor was placed on the other side of the deck.

Link was quickly distracted, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pile of reflective armor dazzling in direct sunlight.

When I got closer, I saw it was the famous mirror armor of the empire.

The plate armor, which is thrown and rubbed as smooth as a mirror, not only has beautiful shapes, but also has amazing defense. Thanks to the precise imperial metallurgy process, these plate armors are light and extremely strong.

Equipped with this mirror armor, the enemy will even be stimulated by the light reflected on the surface of the armor and cannot see the object when they charge, thus affecting their battlefield performance.

Link and his group couldn't let go of their armor when they touched the armor. Not only were there mirror armor, but there were also a large pile of other types of armor next to them.

Chain armor, fish scale leaf armor, plate chain composite armor, etc. are placed in different categories. As for other exquisite leather armor, they are selectively ignored by aesthetically tired Link and others.

"There are 3,000 pairs of metal armor in total, and 5,000 pairs of leather armor. I'm sorry I can only raise so many in a short time. Are you satisfied?"

Ashley tried her best to pretend to be calm and gentle, as if this batch of military supplies worth tens of thousands of golden snake coins was just prepared by her.

But the manager Juan behind her will not forget how his lady was begging her in Master Barence's study, begging her father for a night before she was allowed.

Even the famous Barence Chamber of Commerce in the Empire took a lot of effort to successfully transfer goods at Dilinggang. The consul Barence even threatened and induced them to force the Chamber of Commerce in Dilinggang to sell them at the original price, which caused complaints.

The delivery time was only two weeks, and there was still one week left. If the money was not paid to those merchants by then, even the consul Barence could not bear the pressure brought by the forces behind them.

So Juan really admires her lady, her ability to speak lies with her eyes open.

Ashley was calm on her face and was also panicked. The promises of the Admiralty and the debts that Di Lingang owed were all depended on the VC holy water in Link's hands.

In order to show her strong background and strength, Ashley also took the initiative, did not make money, and even lost money. She wanted to impress Link and lay a solid foundation for the stable cooperation between the two sides in the future.

"Ho, Miss Ashley, your batch of goods seems to be far more valuable than the batch of holy water I brought?"

The price that Link and Ashley negotiated was still 50 Silver Snake Coins per bottle, but the value of the equipment here was much beyond his estimate, not to mention a considerable part of it is an official production of the Empire, which is even rich and cannot be bought.

"I believe in Link, your strength and reputation. The extra equipment here will be regarded as the deposit for our next transaction."

The beautiful man said beautiful words, and Ashley pretended to be generous, leaving a good impression on Link.

Since the other party is so arrogant, I can't procrastinate anymore.

"Tony, take Miss Ashley's men on board and drive away the cargo ship with holy water directly, so as to avoid being busy unloading and loading."

Link also said generously, just a four-masted cargo ship, and he was happy today, so he gave it to him.

On the other hand, Ashley also gave orders to his subordinates to hand over to Link's people. Fortunately, he handed over the cargo ship directly to the other party so that both parties would not have to unload the goods.

"Miss, have the other party calculated it? Get a four-masted cargo ship for our two?"

Juan looked at the silhouettes left on the sea after the other fleet left, and asked his lady with a strange expression.

VC Holy Water occupies a small area and weighs very little, and 5,000 bottles of a four-masted cargo ship is more than enough to load, while the military supplies prepared by Ashley are different, and the two ships are barely full.

"Don't worry about so much, now hurry back to Dilinggang!"

God knows how much pressure Ashley is under. It is only half the time before the delivery period. If she doesn't pay back the money, her father will be implicated.
