When he heard the news of an enemy invasion from his subordinates, the lord of Metro City, Earl Dean Demps, could hardly believe his ears.
Enemy invasion
As the current patriarch of the Dempsey family, this is the first time Dean Dempsey has heard the word "enemy" since he took over as the Lord of Metro City twenty-six years ago.
Even before the more than 400 years of history when the Dempsey family was entrusted to this land, there had never been an invasion of Mero City by a foreign enemy.
You know, Mero City is the largest city near the border of the southwestern province of the Candela Empire! It is called a pearl on the border of Southwest Province!
How dare someone come and invade such a high-profile city without risking life or death
Or to put it more directly, someone is so bold as to come and invade the territory of the Candela Empire
In the nearly thousand-year history of the creation of the Candela Empire, except for a few rare periods of decline, during the rest of the time, except for the Maro Empire, which country on the Sainz continent dared to eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard like this? A general invasion of the Candela Empire
It’s simply a matter of life and death!
"Where did the enemy come from? Have you found out? And what do the border guards do for food? Didn't they stop those guys?" Earl Demps asked with a gloomy face as he walked out, ready to give orders.
He is not that kind of useless aristocratic city lord. He naturally understands that since the other party has the courage to invade Mero City, he at least has a certain degree of confidence in his own strength.
If he didn't deal with it properly, even if Metro City would not fall, just the fact that Metro City had suffered some losses due to the war would be unacceptable to him.
After hearing his question, the face of the subordinate who came to report the news turned extremely ugly. After swallowing a mouthful of spit, he replied with a wry smile: "I understand the investigation. According to the information sent back by the spies, the enemy is coming from the southwest. Yes, hanging... hanging the flag of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce... "
Earl Dempsey's steps suddenly stopped, his eyes widened with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Is there any mistake! Why is it them? No. Where did they get the courage to invade our Candela Empire? They are just a chamber of commerce!"
The subordinates smiled bitterly and were speechless.
He was also full of doubts about this question, so how could he answer it for Count Puli.
"No..." Earl Dempsey trembled violently, but suddenly thought of some rumors about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the imperial aristocratic circle.
Just half a year ago, most nobles in the empire knew nothing about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Most of them come from those household magic machines that can bring various conveniences to life.
When the nobles get together to discuss the topic of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they will probably have a heated discussion about the various high-end magic cars produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, hoping that they can purchase a specially customized magic car from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Brag.
As for the performance of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in terms of military strength, although the nobles of the Candela Empire have heard about it, they probably only know that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can produce some powerful military magic machines. It's just very useful on the battlefield.
Exactly how useful and powerful these military magic machines are, not many people really know except for the nobles under the military department.
But now half a year has passed, during the war that took place in the past few months when the Candela Empire once again invaded the Kingdom of Luersun, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has truly demonstrated its unparalleled power.
The direct participation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts in the battle actually led to the complete defeat of the Candela Empire's 180,000 troops in less than two months. The invasion was finally declared a failure and they reluctantly returned to the country.
After that, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stirred up troubles in other places on the Saenz continent, but the empire just kept silent. No sound ever happened.
This made all the nobles in the empire realize the fact that the Imperial Military Department had obviously admitted that it did not have the ability to defeat the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and that was why they remained silent in front of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
So for the first time, all the nobles of the Candela Empire truly knew how powerful the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was. When they discussed the topic of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they mostly focused on the various weird military magic machines produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. .
Although Earl Dempsey was only the lord noble of a remote territory in the southwest province of the empire, he was still a noble after all, and he was still very sensitive to this information.
So he had already known from various sources the military power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he never thought that one day he would directly face the powerful power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In the final analysis, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce. No matter how powerful his military power is, and no matter how irresistible his escorts are as legendary, how could he come to invade the Candela Empire
Earl Demps was full of doubts, but now was not the time for doubts.
He frowned and thought seriously for a while. He waved to his men, motioning for him to come closer.
"Immediately send someone to the Governor's Mansion for help."
The men were stunned for a moment.
Asking for help? As the most important city on the southwest border of the Candela Empire, Mero City has 30,000 regular imperial troops stationed as guards. Recently, it has also been equipped with many self-produced military magic machines developed by the military. In terms of defensive strength alone, , can be called the strongest city in the southwestern province except where the Governor's Mansion is located.
Why did the city lord immediately think of asking for help as soon as he heard that the enemy was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is said to be quite strong. But it’s not ridiculously strong, right
Seeing that his men were still in a daze, Count Demps glared and shouted angrily: "Why are you still dazed? Go quickly!"
The men were startled and quickly responded, turning around and leaving in a hurry.
Count Demps didn't pause for a moment, and left the city lord's palace directly, got into a magic car he just bought four months ago, and rushed to the garrison camp outside the city.
However, before he reached the city gate, he suddenly heard several shocking explosions coming from outside the city, which made him feel buzzing in the magic car and made his scalp numb.
Count Demps looked up in shock and saw that the sky outside the city had been dyed red by the dazzling firelight that exploded one by one, as if the clouds were on fire.
After staying for two seconds, Earl Demps suddenly felt a tremor all over his body and reacted instantly.
The direction from which the fire came was not the direction of the garrison camp outside the city!
Count Demps quickly opened the car door and rushed up to the wall beside the city gate like crazy. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
About three kilometers outside the city is the camp where 30,000 imperial regular troops stationed near Mero City are located.
But now looking from a distance, the camp was completely surrounded by fire, and only thunderous explosions and faint screams could be heard in the distance coming from the wind.
Earl Dempsey stared blankly for a long time. He grabbed the Metro City garrison officer who hurried over after hearing the news.
"Send someone over there immediately to check the situation, as quickly as possible! Do you understand?"
Cold sweat broke out on the defender's fat face. He nodded repeatedly and quickly turned around to arrange the manpower.
Earl Demps turned his head and looked in the direction of the camp in the distance again, feeling a chill in his heart.
Although he had long heard that the total number of escorts under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only about 20,000. But he had no doubt that with the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, they could easily deal with the 30,000 garrison.
What really chilled him was that he had just received the news of the invasion of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the blink of an eye, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had already arrived at the gates of Metro City, and had even come into contact with Metro City's biggest supporter.
This speed of action is simply appalling.
He could instantly tell that before the Governor's Mansion sent reinforcements, the other party must have already dealt with the garrison.
If they came to attack Mero City next, what should he do to resist
Perhaps in response to Earl Demps's speculation, a few minutes later. From the garrison camp shrouded in flames and thick smoke in the distance, a group of strange-looking magic motorcycles suddenly rushed out and drove towards Metro City in a mighty and fast manner.
At a glance, this team probably consists of hundreds of various magic motorcycles, but with the garrison camp behind them caught in the fire, it makes people feel like they are devils rushing out of hell. Horrified.
Earl Demps took the telescope handed over by the garrison officer and saw at a glance that the flags flying above the magic motorcycles were the famous half-winged new flying flags of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"It's really these guys!" Earl Temple gritted his teeth hard, his face uncertain.
The 30,000 garrison outside the city can no longer be counted on. Now there are only 5,000 garrison troops and 2,000 personal guards of the city lord's palace left in the city of Mero. The total is only 7,000 garrison.
Although the city walls are also equipped with some homemade magic artillery provided by the military. But how can these imitations of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic artillery compete with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's genuine products
However, as the lord of Metro City, he could not simply give up resistance.
Otherwise, I will be held accountable by the military in the future based on this alone. He will be directly deprived of his noble status and even spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Damn it! This is the territory of our Dempsey family after all. How could we just give up so easily!"
Earl Demps cursed fiercely in his heart, turned to the city guard garrison beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Close all city gates and prepare to defend!"
The garrison officer glanced at the various magic motorcycles flying the flags of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the distance with a look of panic, thinking that not even the 30,000 regular troops could withstand the offensive of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. With their thousands of guards, can they stop it
"Why are you so dazed?" Earl Dempsey kicked the defender on the butt. "I'm telling you, if you dare to fight without being defeated, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"
The garrison officer looked serious, quickly suppressed all expressions on his face, saluted Earl Demps, and prepared to defend the city.
But just as he turned around, before taking two steps, he heard the whistle of his subordinates piercing the air in the distance.
Turning around, he saw several rays of fiery red light flying from the formation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the distance. In an instant, they had covered a long distance of more than two kilometers and just hit the tall city wall of Metro City.
"Boom boom boom boom—"
Countless violent explosions rang in the ears of Earl Demps and the garrison, and then they discovered with shock that the city wall... collapsed... (~^~)
