The people who sold the weapons to the fourth fortress hoped that people in other fortresses would also pay attention to them. This would cause competition, and the weapons would naturally be sold.
In addition, Yi Cheng still aimed to strengthen the strength of the Seven Shield Alliance. After all, the Seven Shield Alliance was defeated in the original work. With more advanced weapons, at least they can resist for a longer period of time.
The shotgun has a huge advantage against Walter's orc mercenaries and Hell's Cyclops in close combat.
Even the tall and big bull orcs would be belched if they were shot, and the Cyclops would only need a few more shots at most.

ps: Are shotguns and bullets both sensitive words?
Chapter 230 IX Fudge
Since they are going to buy weapons, it is natural to arouse their interest.
When Yi Cheng led the businessmen to visit the train, he specially asked a few soldiers to stand beside the train station holding shotguns.
But this group of businessmen actually became interested in trains.
"Your Excellency, what is the origin of this giant steel beast? I feel that its whole body is full of strength." A big mine owner looked at the locomotive that was emitting thick black smoke in surprise and asked.
Others were equally curious. Even they had never seen this thing before, so it was obviously a very strange thing.
Oh, damn it, how could I forget the steam engine!Yi Cheng thought excitedly, in terms of profit, the money earned from infrastructure construction is also quite generous.
If he could sell a railway to the Fourth Fortress, he would earn enough money to build several railways of the same length.
Thinking of this, a simple and honest (treacherous) smile appeared on Yi Cheng's face.
"This is a train. This machine made of steel has huge power and can transport hundreds of tons of materials. Most importantly, its consumption is only some coal."
Yi Cheng proudly explained the role of the train to the businessmen, but in fact it can do far more than that, the steam engine can also play a huge role in industry.
"Hundreds of tons of materials? How is this possible?" The big mine owner uttered an unbelievable cry, and he himself was in this industry.
In his mine, even the strongest Dixinglong can transport only a dozen tons at a time.
Could it be said that such a steel machine can be compared to a dozen strong earth dragons?This sounds like a fairy tale!
"It's useless to say more. I just want to transport a batch of grain to other places. Now this batch of grain is on the carriage behind the train. It weighs about 100 tons."
"You can sit on it and take a look, maybe you will find something new." Yi Cheng stepped into a passenger car.
"Oh, my God, I really want to take a look." The big mine owner was the first to get into the car, and the other businessmen looked at each other for a while, but still couldn't help their inner curiosity, they also sat together went in.
"Everyone sit down, the train will start soon." There was a loud horn sound from the locomotive, which was the train driver reminding the passengers on the train that the train was about to start, please pay attention to safety.
With the sound of the flute, the sound of the wheels of "Moreover" slowly filled everyone's ears, and everyone felt that there seemed to be a huge inertia under their buttocks, making them lean back.
"Oh my God, it's really moving!" A beautiful woman exclaimed in surprise, she looked out of the window, and all the scenery was moving backwards very fast.
"Your Excellency Yicheng, this is indeed a great invention." The businessmen offered flattering words after being surprised.
The big mine owner was obviously much more interested. He looked at the scenery outside the window, and then thought about the money he spent on transporting minerals every year.
He is very excited now, if he has such an artifact, it means that he no longer needs to spend a lot of money every year to support those giant gold-swallowing beasts.
Dixing dragons are omnivorous monsters, they consume a lot, and they can eat hundreds of catties of feed alone.
If this sharp weapon called a train is used, then the money will definitely be saved. Since the production cost is low, it means high profits.
"Your Excellency, I am personally very interested in trains, and I want to buy one for my mine." The big mine owner sincerely requested.
Yi Cheng's face showed distress, "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but even if I sell it to you, you won't be able to use it."
Yi Cheng's words made the big mine owner think that Yi Cheng was refusing, and hurriedly said: "The price is negotiable, as long as you are willing to sell, I am willing to pay [-] gold coins to buy."
In fact, one hundred thousand gold coins is really nothing to him who transports at least ten ground dragons every year, and the price of one ground dragon is already tens of thousands of gold coins.
Moreover, Dixinglong's feed money is also a big one, and tens of thousands are spent every year just to serve them.This expense is really a bit big.
"No, no, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to sell it, but that there are prerequisites for this train to run." Yi Cheng explained to him.
"Conditions? Just open it." The big mine owner said boldly.
"I've said it's not about the money." Yi Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stretched out his hand and said to the bottom of the window, "For the train to run, the rails are indispensable."
"The main reason why the train can run so fast, apart from the huge power of the steam engine, is that the rails work."
"And laying such a railway will cost a lot of money." Yi Cheng was already planning to slaughter this fat sheep.
"How much will it cost?" The big mine owner was a little nervous because of Yi Cheng's fright.
"One hundred thousand gold coins per ten kilometers!" Yi Cheng quoted an extremely high price.
The main cost of the rails is the construction of the rails and the cost of labor, but Yicheng has saved almost all the steps here, and only needs the mages to turn the iron ore into ready-made rails.
The cost can be said to be only iron ore.
"Ten kilometers and one hundred thousand. My mine is 30 kilometers away from the delivery point. I need about [-] gold coins to build this railway?" The big mine owner hesitated.
30 is indeed not a small amount, it is almost equivalent to the combined price of all his ground dragons.
Yi Cheng saw that the product seemed to have the intention to give up buying, and hurriedly said: "Of course, as a gift for the first time we all meet, I can accept the way of using minerals as a counter-price, but you have to give me the cost price." .”
Since money is hard to come by, it is also good to be able to get resources, so that the speed of producing weapons will be greatly accelerated and the cost will be reduced a lot.
"Of course it's no problem. I will definitely give you a big discount." The big mine owner immediately became beaming.
It's a good thing that the goods can be used to offset the payment, and it saves him the effort to sell the minerals.
So the first business was negotiated in this way, so that New Sun City would not be short of ore for a long time.
Soon, the train arrived at the station. Yi Cheng pointed to the front and introduced to the merchants: "This is Black Rock Fort, and it is the first city to establish communication with New Sun City."
Immediately after the train arrived, the elves began to organize manpower to carry the food.
The sharp-eyed merchants immediately discovered that this was the lair of the dark elves who had attacked the fourth fortress before.
Chapter 240 Not Simple Background
Yi Cheng made a mistake, that is, he should not have brought this group of businessmen to Blackstone Fort, and the correct demonstration was to take them to the small town of Ross.
Just over a month ago, the dark elves of Blackstone Fortress fought to the death with the Fourth Fortress, and the eyes of both sides turned red when they met.
When the displeased expressions appeared on the faces of these businessmen, Yi Cheng immediately realized his mistake, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
It's not because of offending these businessmen, even without them, Yicheng can expand his capital to the whole north, it's just a matter of time.
Yi Cheng was annoyed that he didn't think about what he did. He hadn't made such a low-level mistake for a long time.
Sure enough, the caravan leader had already started to complain and question.
"Your Excellency, why did your railway build to the hometown of these damned black skins? Is there any relationship between New Sun City and Black Rock Fort?"
The leader of the caravan is an earl from the fourth fortress. His family is a veteran nobleman who has been passed down for more than 200 years. His name is Hussein Painsley, and his family emblem is a tree covered with gold.
"You must know that we and the dark elves have just experienced a great battle. Many of our heroic soldiers and innocent people died in the sudden attack of the dark elves."
"I think any qualified master of the territory should uphold a righteous heart. It's really not a smart person's job to be with this group of black skins who do all kinds of evil."
Hussein raised his face and gave a preaching look, revealing his inner thoughts at once.
In fact, as an orthodox earl of the fourth fortress, he looked down on the small lords outside, not only him, but basically all the big nobles had this problem.
"Watch your tone, sir!" Galantis, as Yi Cheng's guardian knight, stood up first, standing in front of her with swords in both hands, like a thick shield.
"You are?" Hussein looked at the woman in silver armor in front of him.
Her brown hair was tied behind her head, her face was beautiful and full of determination, and the long sword in her hand was inlaid with several gemstones, which looked like a high-end product.
This means that her financial resources are not weak anymore, at least she is a woman of worth.
And the silver armor on her body is very thick, not only does it look like it has excellent defense, but it should also be very heavy, and her actions along the way did not feel sluggish.
This means that she is quite strong and should be a knight with excellent martial arts.
And behind her is a cross made of platinum. Hussein is also a little magician, and can sense the abundant magic power on it.
The cross is a unique weapon and magic weapon of the Church of Light, and all signs indicate that this woman should be a knight of the Church of Light.
Since this is the case, then Hussein naturally did not dare to be presumptuous. After all, even the Fourth Fortress is just a weak child in front of the Church of Light.
"My name is Galantis, and I am His Royal Highness Yi Cheng's guardian knight, and my title is Knight of Light!" Gloriously reported his name.
A knight of light!This is a top professional in the Church of Light. His status among knights is equivalent to that of a mage among mages. He is a real powerhouse!
The merchants immediately exclaimed in a low voice. They did not expect that the lord of a small territory would have a powerful knight of light to protect him.
And having the protection of the Knight of Light means that Yi Cheng is a very important person in the Church of Light.
Gloria didn't reveal Yi Cheng's identity as the God's messenger of the church, because it was a secret, and only the top leaders of the church knew about it.
These northern barbarians are not yet qualified to know Yi Cheng's identity.
"Dear Yi Cheng, on behalf of the business group, I apologize to you. We were rude just now." After understanding Yi Cheng's identity, Hussein immediately bowed to apologize to Yi Cheng.
The Church of Light has a huge influence in the north, and Hussein does not want to cause trouble for the family.
"It's okay, Earl. I'm not that kind of stingy person." Although Yi Cheng was unhappy in his heart, he decided to make up for the convenience of the future.
"Yi Cheng!" A familiar voice suddenly came from not far away. Yi Cheng looked over and felt terrible. It turned out that Olika came with the guards.
When Yi Cheng and the business group arrived at the station in Black Rock Fort, someone immediately went to report to the Queen.
Olika happened to be preparing to receive food aid from Xinri City today, and was near the station. After receiving the news of Yi Cheng's arrival, she rushed over immediately.
"Yi Cheng, why are you here?" Her Majesty the Queen was a little overjoyed. Although she and Yi Cheng had no definite relationship, Olika had already used certain parts of her body to serve this man.
In Olika's heart, this already means that she has recognized Yi Cheng's identity.
In fact, after trying to use her mouth to help Yi Cheng solve her physical problems that day, although Olika's face was expressionless, there was still joy and shyness in her heart.
In the few days after Yi Cheng left, the heat of Yi Cheng's palm flashed in Her Majesty's mind from time to time, and now that she saw Yi Cheng again, she immediately couldn't hold it back.
But after all, Olika is a woman who has lived for thousands of years. After she acted like a little girl, she immediately noticed the strangers around Yi Cheng.
Olika immediately put away her charming posture and put on the queen's cold mask instead.
"These are merchants from the fourth fortress, Olika. This is the leader of the caravan, Earl Hussein." Yi Cheng introduced to Olika.
