Hua Xiong stared at the war horse under Philo's crotch, unable to move his eyes away.
If this place is really rich in horses, it will really become a veritable treasure land!
"Back to the general, there are indeed many horses in Luzon, but most of them are wild horses and have been rarely domesticated. Those domesticated horses are basically concentrated in the hands of major warlords." One-eyed Dragon explained.
"Does this mean that most horses have no owners?" Hua Xiong asked quickly.
The one-eyed dragon nodded.
Even the wildest horses will be tamed, which Hua Xiong is not worried about at all.
Hua Xiong was extremely excited, he really made a fortune this time!
At the same time, Philo was instantly confused when he saw the soldiers brought by Hua Xiong.
He originally heard from his men that someone had entered their territory from the sea. He thought they were pirates or merchants or something, and planned to bring hundreds of soldiers over to shock them and see if they could get some benefits.
When I got here, I realized that these were not pirates at all. They were simply heavenly soldiers and generals armed to the teeth!
Philo even wondered if he had done something wrong, and God sent such a team of heavenly soldiers to punish him.
Thinking of this, Philo trembled all over.
Suddenly, Philo saw the one-eyed dragon next to Hua Xiong, and he was immediately happy. He quickly dismounted and stumbled towards the one-eyed dragon.
Naturally, he knew the pirate Cyclops, and he had dealt with Cyclops a lot before.
Seeing the one-eyed dragon next to Hua Xiong, Philo still didn't understand that Hua Xiong was brought by the one-eyed dragon. At this time, he naturally wanted to go up and ask what happened.
Normally, when the one-eyed dragon saw a big warlord like Philo, he would do everything possible to please him, but now he had his hands behind his back and looked aloof.
I saw the one-eyed dragon grunting and said something to Philo. Philo was suddenly excited and grabbed Hua Xiong's hand.
"Sir...sir, welcome to our Luzon!" Philo said with red eyes.
"You speak Chinese?" Hua Xiong was a little surprised.
"I had Dagan people under me before, and I can speak a little bit of Dagan language." Philo explained.
Hua Xiong nodded. Since he can speak Chinese, communication will be much easier.
"In that case, you should know what we are here for, right?"
"I know, the one-eyed brother told me, sir, you came just in time, I just lack weapons and equipment now!" Philo said excitedly.
Hua Xiong smiled slightly, nodded and said: "In that case, then take this general to visit your territory, and let's discuss cooperation."
"Sir, please come this way!" Philo quickly moved out of the way.
Hua Xiong immediately asked his men to find a place to camp on the shore, and he followed Philo to his main city with a hundred personal guards.
It is said to be the main city, but it is actually a cottage built of wood. However, the cottage is quite large, with an estimated population of at least 3,000.
The people in the village were still the same as what Hua Xiong saw on the shore before, most of them had no clothes to wear.
Many people showed envious expressions when they saw the cold light emitting from the armor worn by Hua Xiong and others.
Soon, the group of people came to what Philo called the "main hall". This hall was not even as good as the county government office in Daqian and looked dilapidated.
At this time, many people had gathered in the hall, probably all of Philo's confidants, and everyone looked at Hua Xiong with a look full of flattery.
Hua Xiong strode directly to the main seat and sat down. Although Philo beside him was a little embarrassed, he kept smiling.
Everyone took their seats, and Philo and One-Eyed Dragon sat beside Hua Xiong on the left and right.
Soon a large amount of wine and food were brought up, which made Hua Xiong a little surprised that there was actually wine in this place.
Seemingly sensing Hua Xiong's thoughts, Philo quickly explained: "Sir, this is the wine we bought from a merchant in Daqian. I have never been willing to drink it. Please try it."
As soon as Philo said this, Hua Xiong realized that only Cyclops, Philo and him had wine in front of them. The others looked eager. It seemed that wine was a rare commodity here!
Hua Xiong poured a bowl himself, raised his head and drank it all, and then said casually: "This wine is just average. I will bring you some good wine next time you come."
"Thank you so much, sir!" Philo said happily.
The banquet began, during which Philo and all his confidants kept flattering Hua Xiong, which Hua Xiong was very pleased with.
After drinking for three rounds, Philo finally said: "Sir, I wonder how many weapons and equipment you have brought this time?"
Hua Xiong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, someone, please bring our things up and show them to Brother Philo!"
Soon, a soldier brought up three sets of armor and placed them in front of Philo. They were a leather light armor, a bamboo armor, and a fish scale iron armor.
When Philo saw the fish scale armor, his eyes suddenly lit up and his whole face flushed with excitement.
You know, most of his soldiers are still naked, whether it is leather light armor or bamboo armor, they are all in great need of him.
Although they in Luzon also use leather or bamboo vines to make armors, the production technology is very backward. It has insufficient defense and is uncomfortable to wear. It cannot be compared with the armors brought by Hua Xiong.
He believed that as long as they were equipped with these armors brought by Hua Xiong, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers would be greatly improved.
Philo touched the three suits of armor, as if touching a beloved woman, and his saliva almost flowed out.
Seeing Philo's unseen expression, Hua Xiong showed disdain.
Except for the fish-scale iron armor, the bamboo armor and leather armor were all scraps that had been eliminated in the Daqian army. There were as many as they wanted, but Philo still regarded them as treasures.
"Sir, how many armors like this have you brought?" Philo asked.
"My general doesn't know the situation in Luzon, so he didn't bring much. One thousand pairs of bamboo armor and one thousand leather armor each. As for the fish scale armor, there are only ten pairs." Hua Xiong said with a smile.
When he heard that there were only ten pairs of fish-scale armor, Philo couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Although the fish-scale armor was not as good as the armor worn by Hua Xiong's personal guards, it was also a ceiling in Luzon.
He also wants to use this fish scale armor to build an iron army!
But having ten pairs is not bad, at least he and his closest friends can each have one, which also greatly improves their survival rate on the battlefield.
Filo's expression was naturally caught by Hua Xiong. Just kidding, iron armor like fish scale armor is currently the standard armor for elite soldiers in Daqian. How can it be sold to Luzon in large quantities?
These ten pairs of fish scale armor were just brought by Hua Xiong to establish good relations with the locals. To put it bluntly, they were just for gifts and had no intention of selling them.
"Sir, I want all the armor you brought. How much does it cost?" Philo asked quickly.
Hua Xiong thought about it carefully and said: "A thousand pairs of leather armors are worth one thousand kilograms of gold. A thousand pairs of bamboo armors are eight hundred kilograms of gold. What do you think? You can exchange them for jade, silver or gemstones of the same value." .”
