Chapter 1009: Chapter 417: Villain (5-in-1)
At this moment, Queen Hai Lan saw Su Ming and Long Bai walking towards her, and her heart became increasingly tense and uneasy.
Soon, Su Ming and Long Bai arrived in front of Queen Hai Lan.
Long Bai looked at her indifferently.
“My lord.”
Queen Hai Lan took a deep breath and greeted nervously.
“Your sincerity is commendable, but let me be honest with you, with so much Eternal Metal, no one can afford the price.”
Long Bai said coldly.
She just used her bracelet to roughly scan and measure; these Eternal Metal ores are about 2800 tons, with a content of around twenty percent, more or less, conservatively estimated to produce 500 tons of Eternal Metal.
An average V Generation Mecha weighs around 500 tons, with the low configurations of Eternal Metal additions at 10%, and the standard configurations at 20%.
Deducting the weight of some equipment inside the mecha, the amount of Eternal Metal added to a V Generation Mecha is between 30 to 60 tons.
These Eternal Metals are sufficient to manufacture 8 standard V Generation Mechas, even if the price is calculated from the lowest, it starts at ten trillion at the least.
She couldn’t possibly pay so much money to the Crimson Country, even if she could, she wouldn’t.
“Legion Commander, Queen Hai Lan is very sincere, she is willing to offer it at a low price to you.”
Seeing the situation, Su Ming quickly expressed his stance, emphasizing the words low price in his tone.
“Yes.”
Queen Hai Lan immediately echoed.
Long Bai glanced at Su Ming, and with a profound tone, asked.
“Is this her idea, or yours?”
“This is certainly Queen Hai Lan’s idea, but I think the same.”
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
Upon hearing this, Long Bai looked towards Queen Hai Lan and said coldly.
“Queen Hai Lan, I hope you understand one thing. If it weren’t for Su Ming today, you wouldn’t even have the qualification to stand in front of me and speak, let alone sell at a low price.”
“I understand.”
Queen Hai Lan nodded in panic.
Long Bai was very satisfied with Queen Hai Lan’s reaction. The reason she warned Queen Hai Lan was to make her recognize reality, and also to make her understand the importance of Su Ming’s involvement.
In fact, if it weren’t for Su Ming’s introduction, Hai Lan wouldn’t qualify to deal with her; these things would only serve as her death warrant.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll accept these Eternal Metal ores. From today, the Crimson Country will fall under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Legion, receiving its protection. I will help you join the Federation, and provide you with a 5th Level Mother Ship, two 5th Level Battleships, ten 4th Level Battleships, two Fake V Generation Mechas, twenty Fourth Generation Mechas, a hundred and twenty Third Generation Mechas, five thousand Second Generation Mecha·Iron Guards, to help you rebuild the Crimson Legion. Besides that, I will thaw your assets within the Federation, and provide you with some supplies and financial aid.”
Long Bai said to Queen Hai Lan.
“Thank you, my lord, but I have an unreasonable request.”
Upon hearing Long Bai’s words, Queen Hai Lan showed an extremely excited expression and said.
“Speak!”
“The Crimson Country is now riddled with holes and can’t be armed in a short time; safety-wise…”
“No need to say, I will station Vickers in the Crimson Country, responsible for your safety.”
Long Bai interrupted Queen Hai Lan and said.
“Okay.”
Queen Hai Lan agreed joyfully.
“You all may leave now!”
Long Bai said coldly while waving at Queen Hai Lan and others.
Queen Hai Lan and Rhein and others immediately retreated, leaving only Su Ming and Long Bai at the scene.
Su Ming suddenly felt a bit uneasy; Long Bai specifically kept him, could it be that she discovered something?
At this moment, Long Bai turned to look at Su Ming and asked indifferently.
“Su Ming, you’ve made a lot of effort to help her, received quite a bit of benefit, right?”
“Not much, just a little.”
Hearing Long Bai’s words, Su Ming’s eyelid twitched instantly, and he replied awkwardly.
He couldn’t possibly tell Long Bai that he hid a ton-heavy Eternal Metal ore.
“Just a little? Do you think I’ll believe that? The frontline is at war now, and such a good opportunity to earn merit, you’re not fighting at the frontline, instead you’re helping the Crimson Country here at the back, do you find that appropriate?”
Long Bai asked in a calm tone.
“Uh, Legion Commander, I just followed your instructions.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
Back at the Sky Control Base, Long Bai did mention to seize any advantage.
Long Bai glanced at Su Ming and didn’t make things difficult for him further, then said in a cold voice.
“You’ve done well, but regarding this batch of Eternal Metal, I don’t want anyone else to know about it.”
“Legion Commander, rest assured, only a few confidants and I know about this matter; it won’t spread.”
“Good, and to ensure the information doesn’t get leaked, the issue regarding the Crimson Country should be dealt with quietly. Finding so much Eternal Metal doesn’t earn you military merits; I’ll only report 3000 points for killing Vice Admiral Muck!”
“No problem.”
Su Ming immediately agreed.
“But I never wrong my own people; although officially I can’t give you any rewards, I will place an order for a V Generation Mecha for you at the Xi Guang Laboratory.”
Long Bai said directly to Su Ming.
“Thank you, Legion Commander.”
Hearing Long Bai’s words, Su Ming was also stunned, and then replied with great joy.
“Nothing to thank for, it’s what you deserve.”
Long Bai replied indifferently.
“Legion Commander, after you place the order, how long will it take to be completed?”
Su Ming asked somewhat impatiently.
“Quickly, five years; slowly, ten years.”
Long Bai replied concisely.
