Chapter 303: Chapter 291: Reorganize the Fleet!

“Although the Dominator Type 2 only has one main gun, this main gun is one of the most powerful in the world today, known as the Sky-piercing Cannon, with a magic energy power reaching ten thousand points!”

Standing next to Rocky, watching the Dominator Type 2 battleship, Zhang Heng couldn’t help but say proudly.

Hearing this, Rocky gasped. The main gun of this battleship reached ten thousand?

To Rocky, that number seemed absolutely incredible!

Although he found it unbelievable, Rocky also knew that this figure was entirely possible. Given the massive size of a battleship, the larger the volume, the more Magic Stones it could carry, and the more Magic Stones, the more Mana, thus achieving ten thousand points of magic energy power was absolutely achievable.

“Are all these things you’re saying true?”

Looking at the colossal Dominator Type 2 battleship, after staring for a good while, Rocky turned his head toward Zhang Heng and asked, frowning.

“My lord, it is absolutely true. You are our chamber’s most esteemed guest, how would I dare to speak recklessly about such important matters.”

Looking at Rocky, Zhang Heng nodded vigorously, indicating that everything he had introduced was true, without any falsehoods.

In fact, it was indeed so; Zhang Heng had not exaggerated; his previous introduction was entirely true.

If it had been someone else standing before him, Zhang Heng’s introduction might contain some exaggeration, but he dared not do so with Rocky, as Rocky was one of the most important customers of the Apple Tree Corporation. The corporation was trying to foster a closer relationship through this transaction, so Zhang Heng wouldn’t dare to speak without consideration.

He introduced the Dominator Type 2 battleship as an exceptional model among the fifth-generation battleships, whether it was its thick armor, the many technologies mounted on the warship, or more importantly, its powerful firepower, it was top among the various models of battleships.

That was also why he suggested Rocky to build his fleet around this warship as the core.

“…”

At this moment, after looking Zhang Heng in the eye again, Rocky turned back to behold the massive ship before him, and after a long moment, he finally opened his mouth to ask:

“How much does this warship cost?”

Of course, he was very satisfied with the Dominator Type 2 battleship; to him, this was the kind of warship his fleet should be equipped with. Only such powerful, high-level warships could contend with Wild Horse City, so naturally, he was interested.

Only, Rocky also knew that a state-of-the-art battleship like this wouldn’t come cheap. While he had previously bought some warships, those he acquired were reconnaissance ships, with the most expensive being an escort ship, and these were all from previous generations. Both in terms of class and generational status, they couldn’t compare to the Dominator Type 2, so the price difference would be enormous.

And he was right, as Zhang Heng subsequently held up two fingers.

“My lord, this battleship’s selling price is two million gold coins.”

Two million gold coins each!

Hearing this price, even though Rocky was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel shocked inside!

This price… was too expensive!

Rocky had just over three million gold coins in his possession, and he initially thought that this money would be sufficient to assemble a fleet composed entirely of large battleships–perhaps not more than that, but surely ten or eight battleships could be purchased?

Thus, he had aimed directly at the fifth-generation warships from the start, but to his surprise, these were incredibly expensive, costing two million gold coins per battleship!

However, as he pondered this in shock, Zhang Heng smiled again and spoke, “But rest assured, Lord, the Guild President has already stated that since you are our most honored customer, all the warships purchased will be sold at the factory price; we absolutely won’t overcharge you by a penny.”

For a deeper cooperation with Rocky, the Apple Tree Corporation was willing to sell the warships at the cost price!

For Rocky, this was an incredible deal because everyone knows the cost price and selling price are vastly different!

“Then…”

So, upon hearing this, Rocky immediately addressed Zhang Heng, who then promptly stated another price, “One million two hundred thousand gold coins, Lord, that’s the cost price for the Dominator Type 2, and we haven’t hidden a penny from you.”

“I’ll take it.”

Hearing this price, Rocky didn’t even hesitate and immediately decided to purchase the Dominator Type 2 battleship in front of him!

Although one million two hundred thousand gold coins wasn’t cheap, one must not forget that this was the most advanced fifth-generation battleship, and moreover, it was touted as a flying fortress! To buy such a class of warship at this price, Rocky felt it was a great deal.

And after deciding to purchase this battleship, Rocky then asked, “Steward Zhang, besides this flagship, what other warships do I need to buy to complement it?”

Zhang Heng had already mentioned that the Dominator Type 2 battleship was meant to serve as the core of the fleet, so in addition to this colossal ship, other warships were needed to support it, for the fleet to truly take shape and form a combat-effective force.

So, having bought the Dominator Type 2 battleship, Rocky needed to purchase additional warships.

“Lord, I recommend that you also pair it with a patrol cruiser, and add several destroyers and escort ships because although the battleship has thick armor and potent firepower, its mobility is quite poor. Without a fleet escort, it can easily become a target, so it is essential to accompany it with destroyers and escort ships.”
