Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2090 The Value of a Rifle

The five bullet holes on the target sent chills down the spines of the officers in the Hundred Refinement Realm.

The monk Baoyin, who also saw the five bullet holes, could not hide his astonishment.

Zhou Ye, however, remained completely in control throughout the entire process.

"Imagine if all the soldiers of your Southern Capital were equipped with these rifles. Then, when you engage in battle with the Hyenas, you would have the opportunity to shoot and kill a large number of them."

"It doesn't matter if we can't deal with those three Vajra Realm level hyenas for the time being. As long as the hyena population shrinks significantly, how much of a threat will they pose to you in the future?"

"Furthermore, with the high-end combat power of your Southern Capital Kingdom, it is not impossible to find an opportunity to entangle the Vajra Realm combat power of the Hyena people and then surround and kill them."

A combat power at the Vajra Realm level is far from being invincible.

To give a simple example, when facing an army, the most troublesome thing about a Vajra Realm level combatant is that if he is desperately trying to escape, you may not be able to stop him.

However, if you coordinate by sending out equally capable troops to contain him, and then have your rifle-wielding forces surround and intercept him, you will likely be able to kill him, even at the cost of some losses.

Guided by Zhou Ye's words, Monk Baoyin quickly imagined the situation that would unfold.

Given that the Great Zhou is unwilling to send troops and they are unlikely to occupy Great Zhou's territory, it wouldn't be a bad idea to resolve the threat from the Hyenas by purchasing weapons.

"I don't know how to use this weapon?"

“Very simple.”

Zhou Ye quickly summoned a soldier from the Imperial Guard and gave him a brief demonstration.

It's a very simple, foolproof operation. Even an ordinary person with zero experience can get the hang of it with just an hour or two and a little practice.

The ease of operating the rifle astonished both Master Baoyin and the Hundred Refinement Realm officer.

The officers at the Hundred Refinement Realm felt a chill run down their spines.

How could an ordinary soldier so easily operate a weapon that could blow his head off at any moment?

At this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the officers at the Hundred Refinement Realm were completely devastated.

During this time, Monk Baoyin was clearly aware of the problem.

If this rifle can blow the head off a martial artist at the Hundred Refinements Realm with a single shot, then it can definitely blow his head off with a single shot as well.

The advent of rifles will inevitably shake their position in terms of combat power.

But given the current situation, they seem to have no other choice.

After all, if the hyenas are allowed to continue taking whatever they want from them, then sooner or later none of us will have a chance to play.

Thinking of this, Monk Baoyin slowly spoke...

"Captain Zhou, this matter is too complicated. I'm afraid I must return to my country first and consult with His Majesty the King."

"Of course, that's no problem."

However, Monk Baoyin was clearly not finished speaking. After a slight hesitation, he spoke again: "But with just my words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince His Majesty the King. I wonder if..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ye already knew what was going on.

He simply took the sidearm of a soldier next to him.

"This rifle will be given to the Imperial Advisor."

Seeing the rifle handed to him directly, Monk Baoyin felt a surge of nervousness.

He hurriedly accepted it with both hands, as if he had received a priceless treasure.

Zhou Ye then casually gave the other party two magazines.

Their Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to do big business with the Southern Capital Kingdom, so naturally they wouldn't be stingy with these things.

"Our Great Zhou can accept the trade of these weapons and ammunition in exchange for resources or labor. I will have the relevant departments draft a list."

Zhou Ye didn't plan to sell more weapons to Monk Baoyin for the time being. After all, one has to take things one step at a time, and one has to eat one bite at a time.

Let's use rifles to close this first deal first.

After that, there was no intention to take the monk Baoyin on a tour of Black Moon City.

They brought Monk Baoyin here mainly to demonstrate their strength and secure cooperation.

Even if both objectives have been achieved, it's still necessary to maintain some secrecy.

Mysterious and powerful is the state they need to maintain in their current interactions with the Southern Capital Kingdom.

The relevant departments acted quickly, mainly because their Great Zhou already had considerable experience in foreign trade. To a large extent, this quotation list was just a matter of following the previous list.

The monk Baoyin, carrying the list, boarded the airship and left, looking preoccupied.

He had already read through the contents of the list once.

Clearly, the price offered by the Great Zhou was not cheap in the eyes of Monk Baoyin.

From their perspective, however, there seems to be no room for negotiation; they either accept or refuse.

However, after refusing and severing cooperation with the Great Zhou, how to deal with the invasion of the Hyenas became another critical problem.

The airship successfully flew back to the female warrior port. During this time, the people from the Southern Capital Kingdom at the female warrior port were quite well-behaved.

The main problem is that you can't be dishonest, since Sigurd, a Vajra Realm expert, is here to protect you.

After the monk Baoyin took the officers of the Hundred Refinement Realm away, the remaining crew members and soldiers, even though they had martial arts training, did not have the support of a higher realm and were not capable of challenging him.

During this process, they felt extremely fearful and uneasy.

They were terrified that if Monk Baoyin's negotiations with the other side in the capital of the Great Zhou broke down, then the emperor would issue an order and they would all be buried with him.

After thinking about it, they suddenly realized a problem.

It seems they're safer if they don't go ashore!

Every time they think about this, they can't help but curse in their hearts.

He was finally at ease when he saw the monk Baoyin and the Hundred Refinement Realm officer return with his own eyes.

Without lingering, the monk Baoyin, upon returning to the female warrior's port, immediately ordered the ship to be boarded and the ship to return.

After leaving the female warrior's port, the crew and soldiers all felt a sense of relief, but the monk Baoyin, who was in his room, was not at all at ease.

Meanwhile, at the female warrior port, after seeing off the ships from the Southern Capital Kingdom, Zhou Ye's work was temporarily put to rest.

They already had a rough idea of ​​the approximate location of the Southern Capital Kingdom.

But they clearly didn't know how far the sea route was, let alone the fact that the other party was using an old sailboat.

Considering the time that might be spent consulting the king, Zhou Ye estimated that a reply by next spring would be considered fast.

During this time, Zhou Ye obviously couldn't stay there forever. He turned around to leave, but his sister, Sigurd, grabbed his shoulder.

"Zhou Ye, since you're already here, why don't you have a friendly spar?"

Clearly, she is still upset about being 'scammed'.

Seeing this, Zhou Ye had a mischievous thought.

"Are you sure you want to spar with me in front of so many of your subordinates?"

Sigrun's expression froze instantly. By the time she came to her senses, Zhou Ye had already slipped away, leaving her standing there gritting her teeth.

[You stinky bastard, I'll beat you to tears one of these days!!]
