The expressions on the faces of Captain Uther and Count Zidar were extremely ugly.
"Did everyone escape?" Count Zidar's eyes revealed unsuppressible shock. "Under such a powerful offensive, they didn't all stay? This... this is incredible!"
Captain Uther glanced at him, then turned to look at the only old man wearing a magic robe among the four.
"Master Jonah, what do you think?"
The old magician known as Master Jonah also had an ugly face. After looking around, he replied solemnly: "I made a mistake. I thought that an eighth-level magic was enough to keep them, but I didn't expect that they could force them to stay." Hold on."
"You are a great magician! Why don't you just use forbidden magic? Now that they have all run away, our operation this time has been a complete failure! Do you understand?" Count Zidar immediately roared loudly.
Master Jonah glanced at him coldly: "Do you think that Forbidden Curse Magic does not require time to prepare? And since the movement of Forbidden Curse Magic is so loud, they will definitely discover it in advance, and it will be useless at all."
"Then at least use level 9 magic, okay? What's going on with level 8 magic? Are you so stingy with your magic? Do you know how important this operation is? Do you know..."
Captain Uther frowned, raised his hand to stop Count Zidar from continuing to accuse, and looked at the remaining middle-aged man among the four who looked ordinary but was also wearing aristocratic clothing.
"Duke Roman, now this group of new Flying Chamber of Commerce guards will definitely plan to escape back to their base near Dro City. I need your help from the Dro Kingdom to intercept them on the road."
The middle-aged man known as Duke Roman nodded: "No problem. It's still more than 500 kilometers away from the base of Dro City. They don't have magic motorcycles to travel. It will take at least several days to travel by foot. We can't get there." There’s plenty of time to catch them.”
Having said this, Duke Roman chuckled: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although they missed this time and let them run away, they can't escape from our Dro Kingdom anyway. Besides, what if they run back to the base? ? Maybe by the time they arrive, that base will already be in our hands, right?"
"Yes." Captain Uther nodded slightly, and then said to Master Jonah and Earl Zidar: "Without further delay. We need to take action now. Master Jonah, you act with us. Lord Earl, please also ask You go back and report the information here personally. We still have to see how the empire progresses."
"Okay, I'll leave now."
After a brief discussion, the four people left together.
After the silence was restored here, the figure of an Elf warrior gradually appeared on a big tree about a hundred meters away from where the four of them were standing just now.
He lowered his head and glanced at the miniature magic illusion camera in his hand. After making sure that he had recorded what he had just seen, he carefully put it away, stepped on it, and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

The capital of the Candela Empire, Wimbledon, is about two thousand kilometers away from the Namtso Mine in a straight line. However, because it is located in the northwest, if calculated according to the latitude calculation method on the earth, the difference is actually about one time zone.
So when the sun had completely enveloped the entire Namtso Mine, Wimbledon City could only see the rising sun.
At this time, Xu Yi had already climbed out of bed.
After doing some fitness exercises as usual, the two maids opened the door and came in. Planning to serve Xu Yi get up.
Xu Yi waved his hand, waved them away, and went straight to the front hall.
After waiting for a while, Count Raphael Erwin, the Minister of the Magic Industry Management Department of the Candela Empire, was notified and arrived belatedly.
"President Xu, you got up really early. I thought you were used to the warm fragrance at home, and you wouldn't get up until the sun rose." Earl Erwin laughed, looking very Welcomed warmly.
"I don't have the habits of those decadent nobles." Xu Yi glanced at Count Erwin and stood up directly. "Let's go, let's seize the time and try to solve the problem today."
Earl Erwin was slightly startled: "President Xu, don't be in such a hurry, right? It's hard for you to come to Wimbledon City, so you should spend two more days here. I have prepared a lot of good programs today, you Look, let’s have breakfast first and then…”
"I have no intention of playing until the matter is resolved." Xu Yi shook his head and unceremoniously rejected Earl Erwin's kindness. "Or is it that your Candela Empire has no plans to solve the problem at all?"
This sentence was very rude. The smile on Earl Erwin's face froze slightly, and then he forced a smile and said: "How come, we invite you, President Xu, to be our guest this time. It's just to discuss how to solve the problem. Well."
Xu Yi looked directly into Count Erwin's eyes and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have wasted two days here, and I can't waste any more. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Actually, even if President Xu doesn't say it, we still want to solve the problem. We just had to make some preparations in the first two days, but now we are ready. President Xu, please come with me."
Xu Yi nodded, followed Count Erwin out and got into a magic car, then drove all the way out of Wimbledon and sped towards the east of the city.
"Lord Earl, where are you going?" Xu Yi asked with a frown.
"Let me reveal something to President Xu first." Earl Erwin lowered his voice. "This conflict between us is actually related to a certain big shot in the military. Before we discuss it, it is best to reach a consensus with the military. I heard that President Xu has come to Wimbledon. This big shot in the military I just wanted to see you."
"A big shot in the military?" Xu Yi wondered.
Could it be that this time the Kandela Empire suddenly insisted on intervening in the bloody conflict in Namtso, and even sent an army of 2,000 people to the Namtso mine, just because of the Kandela Empire's military intention
With this question in mind, the Magic Car drove quickly for about an hour, entering a wilderness east and north of Wimbledon City, and finally drove into a very large manor.
As soon as Xu Yicai stepped out of the magic car, he saw dozens of heavily armed soldiers surrounding him.
This alone reflects the uniqueness of the owner of this manor.
Other nobles would at most arrange some personal guards in their own manors, but in this manor were regular imperial troops wearing Kandra Empire uniforms.
After getting off the bus from the other side, Earl Erwin saw these soldiers surrounding him. He raised his hands obediently and allowed the soldiers to come up and touch him.
Seeing Xu Yi's strange look, Earl Erwin smiled and said, "This is the rule here. I ask President Xu to be considerate."
Xu Yi was surprised.
Ordinarily, Count Erwin is currently serving as the Minister of Magic Industry Management of the Candela Empire. He is considered to be a high-ranking person, but after arriving at this manor, he still has to undergo such a body search. Could it be that the owner of this manor is a big shot that he is far inferior to
Even if I go to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Candela Empire, it’s nothing more than that...
After thinking about it, Xu Yi still raised his hands cooperatively.
But when those soldiers were about to touch him. An old but heroic laughter suddenly sounded.
"Okay, everyone, please step back. President Xu is a powerful magician, and weapons are not important to him at all."
Xu Yi looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw an old man with white hair and beard, a very strong figure, a red face, and wearing a military uniform striding over.
"President Xu, it's our first time meeting you. I'm really surprised by how young you are." The old man in military uniform laughed and said, "I'm Campbell Sudirman. I think you should have heard of my name."
Xu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Marshal of the Kandra Empire. How could I not have heard of the name of the famous Kandra God of War?"
"Haha, God of War, that's all in the past. Ever since I became this bullshit marshal, I haven't been on the battlefield in person for nearly twenty years." Marshal Sudirman shook his hand and laughed loudly.
Xu Yi nodded lightly.
According to the data, this marshal, who has a very high reputation in the Kandra Empire and is even no worse than the emperor in the minds of most Kandra Empire people, has never been seen again since the war with the Maro Empire nineteen years ago. I have never been to the battlefield personally.
But this has nothing to do with him. After a pause, Xu Yi frowned and asked: "Marshal, I wonder why you summoned me this time?"
"Okay! That's great!" Marshal Sudirman gave Xu Yi a thumbs-up sign of praise. Then he grabbed Xu Yi's arm and pulled him towards the manor. "If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after we get in. Although I'm a rough guy, I still understand the basics of hospitality."
Marshal Sudirman was very strong, and Xu Yi was grabbed by him. I can only move forward involuntarily.
Looking back, he found that Earl Erwin had not followed.
Apparently, this was a meeting specially prepared by Marshal Sudirman to meet Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was still very puzzled.
After all, he is just a businessman. Logically speaking, he has nothing to do with Marshal Sudirman, the most prestigious member of the Kandla Empire's military. Why did Marshal Sudirman specifically want to meet him
The two of them soon arrived at the living room in the middle of the manor.
After sitting down respectively, Marshal Sudirman looked Xu Yi up and down. He opened his mouth and asked: "President Xu, I don't like to talk nonsense. I want to see you this time just to ask you a question. Please answer truthfully."
"Speaking."
"Does your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce never intend to transfer the technology of military magic machinery to our Candela Empire?"
Xu Yi was suddenly startled.
Unexpectedly, Marshal Sudirman asked such a sensitive question as soon as he opened his mouth.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Marshal, according to the strategic partnership agreement signed by both of us, we are gradually transferring military magic machinery-related technologies based on the development of the magic industry industry within the empire. There is no need to transfer it at all. the meaning of."
"Bah! What's the use of those inferior gadgets? To our empire, there is no difference between them and nothing." Marshal Sudirman said disdainfully.
"Marshal, you can't say that. Everything needs to be done step by step, especially things like military magic machines, which require a long period of accumulation to fully master. Even if I really master them now..."
"So you still refuse to hand over those technologies to us, right?" Marshal Sudirman interrupted Xu Yi unceremoniously.
Xu Yi frowned: "Marshal, I think I have made it very clear. Moreover, our Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with your country for so long. We have explained these principles countless times. I don't believe you don't understand."
"I understand. That's why I came to you this time just to give you one last chance." Marshal Sudirman's eyes suddenly became very sharp when he looked at Xu Yi. "But it's obvious that you don't intend to cherish this opportunity. Let me ask you again, are you willing to transfer the technology of military magic machinery to our Candela Empire?"
A sense of danger flashed through Xu Yi's heart, and he frowned and looked at Marshal Sudirman.
"Marshal, what do you mean?" (~^~)
