"It's not like you weren't here during the practical test in Metro City." Xu Yi shrugged, with a relaxed look on his face. "At that time, you had already trapped the two magisters to death. It is not difficult to kill them in the end. Why do you still look like you can't believe it now?"
"After all, they weren't really killed at that time." Captain Hart shook his head, as if he still couldn't accept the fact that the magister died in the battle with the men he led.
"Okay, you will get used to it in the future." Xu Yi asked again. "You should already know the next mission, right?"
"Well, I already received the order on the way." Captain Hart nodded, with an even weirder expression on his face. He couldn't help but said again: "President, didn't you personally let go of the two magisters of the Candela Empire before? Why are you asking us to kill them now?"
"There is no way, who can make these two empires behave badly." Xu Yi sighed. "If possible, I would also like to make the two empires understand that magisters are no longer as useful as they imagined without hurting their friendship. It would be great if we all sit down and talk about cooperation and development. . But... you saw it too."
Captain Hart suddenly smiled bitterly.
During this period, he had many contacts with Xu Yi, and he knew very well that the president had no intention of all-out war with the two empires, otherwise he would not have let go of the two magisters of the Candela Empire in Metro City.
But it turns out that the president is too... well, too naive.
The two empires have stood on the continent of Sainz for nearly a thousand years. How could they let go of their reserve and arrogance as empires just because of a setback, and seriously discuss cooperation and development according to the chairman's ideas
Besides, the fundamental contradiction between the two empires and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still lies in the huge interests contained in the magic industry.
Countless people can see this, and the two empires also know it. They naturally want to keep these interests in their own hands, and do not want to be controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It can be said that the outbreak of this war is inevitable, the only difference is the time.
"According to the plan. You should set off in two weeks. During this period, I need you to continue to strengthen the training of attack methods against magicians in the base. With the previous record, I believe that the opponent will definitely have a way to deal with it. So you must be more proficient during this time to take the initiative on the battlefield and continue to suppress the magister, "Do you understand what I mean?" Xu Yi said again.
"Understood!" Captain Hart nodded vigorously. "Actually, if the opponent hadn't been too careless in the previous battle, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to fall into the anti-magic field. With the high flexibility of the magisters, once they react, it may not be so easy to succeed. ”
"That's right. This is also an issue that the R&D Center and I are considering during this time. The escort team came back this time and brought first-hand actual combat data information, which is very important. We can make adjustments based on this information. Hart, these days You may have to stay with me in the R&D center. How about it? "
Captain Hart laughed and patted his chest hard, making a loud banging sound.
"President, there is no need to worry about my health at all. But you... This is the first day of the New Year, won't you spend more time with Mrs. Steele?"
"Steele ran away to the Demon Cloud Continent with the fleet a week ago. I don't have anyone to accompany me." Xu Yi spread his hands helplessly.
"Huh?" Captain Hart was suddenly stunned. "Why did Mrs. Steele suddenly run away...to the Demon Cloud Continent?"
"The dragon clan over there reported some things related to the illusion film. After learning about it, Steele decided to go and inspect it himself. In addition to solving these problems, he was also preparing to develop the market on the Demon Cloud Continent." Xu Yi He shrugged. "Speaking of which, I haven't even been to Moyun Continent yet. She ran away first."
Captain Hart looked at Xu Yi with a strange look on his face, and then said after a while: "Mr. President, I think... you and Mrs. Steele are really a match made in heaven..."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yi looked at him inexplicably.
"They are all workaholics..."

The first half of the year 3803 in the continental calendar was a rare and peaceful period in the past two years.
However, this peace was extremely short-lived.
On January 16, the troops of the Luersun Kingdom suddenly invaded the border of the Kandela Empire.
After a day of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Kandra Empire border guards were defeated and fled.
Therefore, the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun marched straight into the southwestern province of the Kandela Empire and marched all the way to Mero City, where they joined the escort of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who had been occupying Mero City during this period.
On January 26, eight thousand reinforcements from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team broke through the Kandra Empire's defense line with a large number of various military magic machines. Successfully arrived at Mero City and reunited with the Luersun Kingdom army and the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that stayed behind.
The next day, the coalition forces of the Luersun Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards in Mero City—referred to as the Luxin Coalition Army—launched an attack on the Southwest Provincial Army that had been stationed five kilometers outside the city for several months.
The Southwest Provincial Army did not put up any effective resistance at all and chose to surrender directly.
February 4th. The Lu-Xin coalition forces, which had rested for a period of time, left Mero City and advanced toward Babulal City, the provincial capital of Southwest Province.
After receiving the news, the Governor-General of the Southwest Province immediately organized the forces of the entire Southwest Province to intercept them halfway. However, a total of six battles ended in a major defeat for the Southwest Province.
The Shandong-Xinjiang coalition forces advanced all the way, and arrived at the gates of Babulal City on February 13th. They fought fiercely with the last defensive force of the Southwest Province and the additional forces mobilized by the Kandela Empire.
Among the warring parties, the Shandong-Xinjiang Allied Forces had more than 47,000 regular troops of the Lursun Kingdom remaining after many battles. and twelve thousand New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts.
The Candela Empire has a total of 130,000 garrison troops mobilized by the Governor-General of the Southwest Province, and three legions mobilized by the Candela Empire Military Headquarters, totaling 70,000 regular troops. Coupled with a large number of magician legions and five magisters, the power is It can be said to be unprecedentedly huge.
Such a terrifying power was enough to withstand all attacks and even crush all enemies in the wars in the history of Sainz continent.
However, after a formal battle with the Lu-Xin coalition, the Kandela Empire's army was blocked in Babulal City by the Lu-Xin coalition. Under the fierce magic fire attack of the Lu-Xin coalition, they could not even get out of the city gate.
Contrary to everyone's expectations. This battle did not end quickly, but lasted for a full month.
During this period, the Kandra Empire's military headquarters continued to send reinforcements to Babral City, mobilizing almost half of the entire Kandra Empire's army for reinforcements.
However, these reinforcements are often raided halfway by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's magic airship and magic tank brigade. Therefore, they were unable to resist and suffered heavy losses. When they finally arrived at Babulal City, most of them were already defeated. On the contrary, they could not increase the defense strength of Babulal City and even became a burden.
on the contrary. The Candela Empire has also tried to ambush the Lu-Xin coalition's backup and logistical supply troops, but each time it was defeated by the magic airship brigade that came with rapid reinforcements and was unable to have any impact on the Lu-Xin coalition.
And although as the Lu-Xin coalition forces penetrated deeper into the Kandra Empire, their logistical supply lines were stretched, but with the high-speed and effective transportation of the large-scale cargo magic motorcycle transport brigade of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the logistics supplies of the Lu-Xin coalition forces have never been Any problems arise.
The Lu-Xin coalition forces surrounding Babral City have never been short of ammunition, and they were even able to build a statue outside Babral City at a jaw-dropping speed in this month. Come to a decent campsite.
A month later, the Kandela garrison in Babral City was finally unable to hold on because all kinds of supplies in the city were exhausted.
Although the five noble magisters still have fighting strength, there are still nearly 200,000 defenders in the city. But lacking logistical supplies, they not only lost the ability to continue fighting, but also lost the courage to continue fighting.
Within this month, the Candela Empire defenders in the city tried every means to use five magisters to launch a counterattack against the Lu-Xin coalition, but none of them succeeded.
If it weren't for the precedent of the death of three magisters in the Maro Empire, which made the five magisters in the city pay more attention, in fact, they would have died unexpectedly in countless battles within this month.
A month later, the Kandela Empire's imperial army launched the last and largest counterattack in Babulal City.
After two days of fierce fighting, the defenders of the Candela Empire paid a heavy price with the death of more than 50,000 ordinary soldiers, hundreds of senior magicians and six great magicians. Finally the breakout was successful.
The five magisters and the remaining magician legions mixed with the remaining 100,000 Candela Empire troops and abandoned the city to flee.
At this point, the city of Babral finally fell.
As the provincial capital of the Southwest Province of the Candela Empire, it is also the seat of the Governor-General of the Southwest Province. The fall of Babral City meant that the last resistance force in the Southwest Province had dissipated, and the Southwest Province fell.
In the nearly thousand years of history since the establishment of the Candela Empire, although there have been times when it was invaded by other countries due to the decline of its national power, it has never happened that an entire province fell into the hands of the enemy.
After the news came out, the entire continent fell silent.
If we say that the coalition forces of the Maro Empire and the Frankish Kingdom suffered a major victory in the Battle of the Grisius Mountains. And the subsequent failure to resist the attack of the Frankish army on the border of the Maro Empire also led to the death of three magisters. It can also be said that the Maro Empire did not have enough experience and there were some love rivals. Then Candela How to explain the defeat that the empire suffered this time
The Southwest Province can be said to be resisting with all its strength, and the Kandela Empire's military headquarters also provided full support. Not only did they send a large number of reinforcements, but they also sent five magisters for reinforcements. They also mobilized most of the Kandela Empire's forces to try to encircle and suppress Lu Xin. coalition forces.
However, the final result was a huge defeat for the Candela Empire. Even with the help of five magisters, it was unable to resist the attack of the Lu-Xin coalition. In the end, even such an important provincial capital was defeated.
Such a record simply tells everyone the most obvious fact.
The new type of army represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards is truly irresistible on the frontal battlefield!
