After all, the power system of the mecha is too complicated, and Zhang Feng does not have the ability to manufacture it, but the power of the orcs themselves is enormous, especially the orcs in Hongye City. They are well fed and well-nourished every day. In terms of strength alone, it is no problem for them to be 20% to 30% taller than ordinary orcs.

So they can definitely afford this kind of "mecha".

Of course, the reason they wear these is not for the sake of looking good, but because the defensive power of these mechas is much stronger than that of ordinary steel armor.

If the orcs wore ordinary steel armor, ordinary human soldiers would not be able to break through their defense. However, since they were wearing this kind of mecha-like armor, it would be difficult to break through their defense even if the orc soldiers attacked.

Not to mention that these mechas are equipped with many weapons, such as on the wrists, elbows, knees, heels, backs, etc. In addition to titanium alloy barbs, there are also small jet engines powered by mysterious crystals.

This is the same as the operation of the crystal swords and crystal hammers in their hands. The engine can burst out huge power in an instant. Coupled with the strength of the orcs themselves, it can be said that no one can take this punch head-on.

Even the bear beastman Xiong Ba, who was known for his strength, and the lion beastman Felix couldn't catch it.

Only the elves in Red Leaf City who have lived for thousands of years and the little red dragon Hill can fight head-on.

Of course, if the firepower is fully opened, in addition to the increased energy consumption, it will also cause a certain degree of damage to the mecha. If the overload lasts too long, the mecha may fall apart. After all, this is the first generation and there are still many shortcomings that need to be improved. It is already very good to be like this now.

These mechas have not been used in actual combat since they were developed. After all, the Stardust Continent has been unified and there is no place for actual combat. Now, Zhang Feng plans to take advantage of the war on the Orc Continent to test the actual combat effectiveness of this type of mecha.

So, Zhang Feng secretly sent the mecha over and asked Niu Dali and others to train it. This was its first public appearance.

Not to mention Conrad, even the orcs from Danga country saw this kind of thing for the first time and couldn't take their eyes off it.

Shu Daqiang ignored them and brought Conrad to the new city.

Compared with other cities, the current new city can be called an industrialized city, with steam engines spread throughout every corner of the city.

Shu Daqiang also recruited a group of orc soldiers and claimed to provide security.

Because there were not many people, King Nate naturally had no objection.

After arriving at the new city, Conrad and the orc soldiers behind him, like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, temporarily shifted their attention away from Niu Dali and the others.

This kind of steampunk-style city was the first time they had seen it.

Conrad's eyes lit up even more. He originally thought that this steam engine could only be used on cars, but he didn't expect it could be used like this!

Seeing that the orcs could transport the ore from one place to another effortlessly, and could also automatically crush and smelt it, Conrad thought to himself: If these steam engines were placed in the Kingdom of Hobro...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He wanted to discuss cooperation with Shu Daqiang right now, but he changed his mind and thought that their Hobro Kingdom seemed to be out of money...

Conrad felt a little disappointed. He turned his head to look somewhere among the soldiers behind him, then turned his head back pretending not to care.

These little moves could not be hidden from Shu Daqiang. He was a little surprised. If Conrad did not have any ill intentions, then it meant that a heavyweight figure might have come to King Hobro this time.

Everyone was dazzled by the sight along the way and didn't talk much. Soon, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of the new city.

Compared with the industrial buildings outside, the City Lord's Mansion looked very ordinary. Conrad asked the soldiers to camp in the square outside and wait, and he followed Shu Daqiang in with a few people.

The City Lord's Mansion appears very simple and plain, which is completely different from the magnificent Red Leaf Bank. This is how Shu Daqiang deliberately ordered it to be decorated.

After all, he is now a frontier official, and Zhang Feng has given him a lot of power, like this City Lord's Mansion belongs to him. He also has high demands on himself, that is, he doesn't need to be too frugal, but he can't be extravagant either. This is to avoid misunderstanding by Zhang Feng. Although he thinks that Lord Zhang Feng is definitely not the kind of person who would fuss over such trivial matters, it is always better to be prepared.

When they arrived at a teahouse, Shu Daqiang made a gesture of invitation and then sat down first. All the mecha warriors except Niu Dali stopped at the door. Niu Dali stood behind Shu Daqiang. If the other party had any ill intentions towards him, he could protect Shu Daqiang at any time.

On Conrad's side, besides himself, there were two people following behind him. One was a thin young leopard orc holding a pile of parchment rolls, and the other was a tall figure wearing a black cloak that covered his entire body tightly. His appearance could not be seen clearly, but judging from his thin figure, he should be a female orc.

Shu Daqiang did not stop them. After they sat down, he smiled and went straight to the point: "I see you brought a lot of things with you. I wonder if you are going to buy steam cars?"

"That's right!" Conrad first confirmed it, then said a little embarrassedly. "Because our Kingdom of Hobro has recently defeated several challengers and participated in several wars, our gold reserves are running low. His Majesty the King has prepared some ore to trade with your Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. I wonder..."

After saying this, Conrad was a little nervous. Although bartering is quite common here, it would be embarrassing if the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce didn't want it. But fortunately, Shu Daqiang nodded and said:

"Of course, in addition to gold coins, as long as it is something that our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has determined to be valuable, we will also take it."

Of course the ore is valuable. After hearing what Shu Daqiang said, Conrad finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed in an instant.

"Here is the list, please take a look, Mr. Shu Daqiang."

The thin leopard orc next to him quickly placed the large pile of parchment in front of Shu Daqiang.

Although parchment is relatively thick, the presence of so much of it is enough to illustrate how rich the variety of supplies this time is.

Shu Daqiang was not arrogant. He picked up the parchment and read it carefully.

Shu Daqiang had already memorized the prices of most of the ores in the Orc Continent. When comparing them with the prices on the list, he found that the prices on this list were generally lower than the market prices.

This made Shu Daqiang feel more favorable towards King Hobro.

Shu Daqiang has a pretty good mental arithmetic ability and he finally finished reading it in about an hour.

According to the data on these lists, the Kingdom of Hobro brought a total of 400,000 gold coins in cash and ore worth 600,000 this time.

Adding up the previous loan of 100,000, it comes to 1.1 million gold coins.

Perhaps because the Kingdom of Hobro is a mining powerhouse, their ore is cheap, so they gave more to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. But no matter what, it is a fact that they gave more. This attitude is much better than many countries. You know, because of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce’s fame, some blind countries have come to endanger the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce! As for whether the goods and quantities can match, Shu Daqiang thinks that the other party should not play such a trick. Anyway, he will check it again in front of everyone.

"There's nothing wrong with the item. Once I have someone check it, we can trade it."

Shu Daqiang spoke with a smile.

"Okay, you can check it anytime!"

Conrad spoke quickly. His impatience made the figure next to him, who was covered in a black cloak, turn his head and look at him.

"Okay, I'll have someone check it out. I've also prepared some food. How about we eat while we wait for the results?"

Shu Daqiang nodded.

Hearing about the food, Conrad's eyes lit up and he quickly said:

"no problem!"

Shu Daqiang clapped his hands, and an orc dressed as a servant came in. After Shu Daqiang gave a few instructions, the other party retreated. At the same time, several more orcs came in carrying food.

After receiving the news that Conrad had come to Danga with a large amount of supplies, Shu Daqiang asked the kitchen staff to start cooking in advance. After all, he kept in mind the words of Lord Zhang Feng: Don't be stingy with your food when it comes to business partners.

Conrad's stomach began to growl as he smelled the rich aroma.

At this time, the man in the black cloak next to him finally took off his hat and revealed his face.

This is a pretty face with a wheat-colored complexion. She looks very heroic, but her face is cold and she looks like she doesn't want anyone to come near her. Judging from her facial features, she is a lion-beast.

If Shu Daqiang remembered correctly, the royal family of the Kingdom of Hobro was the lion beastmen.

"Who is this?"

Shu Daqiang asked doubtfully.

"Hello, my name is Jasmine."

The woman greeted him casually. She didn't look at Shu Daqiang, but her eyes were on the delicious food that was served.

"This is Captain Jasmine, the commander of the First Legion of our Hobro Kingdom!"

When Conrad saw Jasmine's face, he quickly introduced her.

"Hello, Captain Jasmine!"

Shu Daqiang greeted him politely, but he was a little shocked. He had learned from Conrad before that the Kingdom of Hobro had five major armies, four of which belonged to the four most powerful dukes, and the strongest first army belonged to the direct line of His Majesty the King.

From this we can see what kind of identity the commander of the First Legion has. She actually came here. Doesn’t the First Legion have to take care of anything?

Although he was curious, Shu Daqiang didn't ask. He even looked at the other person's pretty face and subconsciously thought: I wonder if Master Zhang Feng likes this type? As the number one manager under Master Zhang, Shu Daqiang always considers things more comprehensively.

After the food was served, no one talked much - mainly because Jasmine and the other three had already started eating, and Shu Daqiang didn't want to be annoying and disturb them.

Since they might discuss business next, Shu Daqiang didn't take the wine. After all, these orcs had never drunk the wine produced in Hongye City. While they loved to drink, they didn't know how to control themselves and often got drunk.

An hour later, Conrad patted his stomach in an ungraceful manner and slumped in his chair. The skinny leopard man holding the parchment roll was about the same height as him.

Jasmine was quite polite, of course, only after dinner.

Shu Daqiang was just about to ask Jasmine, the commander of the First Legion, if there was anything that had brought her all the way here, but she spoke first:

"I want to make a deal with your Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

Jasmine spoke, her voice was a little smoky, which sounded unique.

"Oh? That looks like a big deal!"

Shu Daqiang seemed to be thinking about something.

Originally, he thought that the Kingdom of Hobro sent so many orc soldiers here to really protect the ore, but from Jasmine's point of view, it seemed that it was not that simple.

"Of course, I just don't know if Hongye Chamber of Commerce is qualified."

Jasmine spoke with a proud look on her face.

But when she said this, Shu Daqiang just smiled and didn't refute. He would not be fooled by such an obvious provocation.

"Tell me first."

Jasmine tried a color, and the leopard beastman next to her who had just eaten a lot quickly stood up and said he had something to do and left first.

Conrad was a little confused. He didn't know whether he should leave or not.

To be honest, he had no idea that Jasmine came here to trade with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. It should be said that he didn't know that Jasmine was in the team before. It was not until they were about to reach the Danga Kingdom that Jasmine showed up on her own initiative and he found out.

Jasmine's explanation was very simple. She said that she had been feeling a little suffocated recently and wanted to go out and relax. Conrad believed her.

Because the First Legion is basically always stationed in the Royal City, she, as the legion commander, generally cannot leave at will. Jasmine herself is a battle maniac. It is said that she was originally unwilling to be the commander of the First Legion, but others were not qualified, or His Majesty did not trust her, so she had to take the position.

With her personality, staying in the palace every day to guard the king was indeed a bit suffocating. Her reason only made Conrad feel that she was willful, but he didn't think too much about it.

But now, he knew that things were not that simple, something big was definitely going to happen, and he felt like an outsider who knew nothing! He even felt that it was possible that this transaction was a cover-up! Fortunately, before Conrad was sad, he heard Jasmine speak:

"You can stay."

"Why!"

This sentence immediately made Conrad excited. He knew that he was finally valued by His Majesty the King! Why did he say that he was valued by His Majesty the King?

Because Jasmine is not only the commander of the First Legion, but also the daughter of His Majesty the King. There is no problem at all in saying that she represents His Majesty the King.

Without caring about what Conrad was thinking, Jasmine said directly: "I need to borrow soldiers! The price is negotiable!"

"Borrow troops?"

Shu Daqiang was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would have this idea.

Maybe in the eyes of others, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is so powerful that it must have a lot of soldiers, but we know our own business, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has a lot of other things, but only few soldiers!

This is a bit difficult.
