When compared to the Panzer series, the Iveco-LMV looked far more refined and elegant in appearance, and although it possessed greater speed, greater range, better maneuverability, and more seating capacity for soldiers, the people within the auction hall still remained hesitant because of one simple factor.
Its price.
It costs ten times the price of a Panzer 1, yet it can only shoot with the power of a 4-star rank. Yes, moving is good, and it has good defensive capabilities as well, but they would prefer taming a 4-star or 5-star rank beast over this.
Thus, silence slowly descended over the hall once the bidding began.
Not a single paddle rose.
The luxurious hall that moments ago echoed with aggressive bids and rising voices now became strangely quiet, carrying only the distant clinking of teacups as several nobles exchanged uncertain glances with one another while quietly calculating whether the machine deserved such an investment.
