When the coalition forces of the Luersun Kingdom and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce broke through the city of St. Anthony, almost everyone thought that they would make an effort to advance all the way to Wimbledon City like they had done with the provinces of the Candela Empire, and then win the battle for Winchester. The city of Bourdon was also captured in one fell swoop.
Because Wimbledon City is the capital of the Candela Empire, if Wimbledon City also falls, the blow to the entire Candela Empire will naturally be extremely serious, even enough to declare that the Candela Empire is on the verge of extinction.
However, the Lu-Xin coalition unexpectedly surprised everyone. At this time, they chose to cease their activities, stopped advancing, and actually started peace talks with the Candela Empire in a decent manner.
Ever since the two major empires had a feud with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce last year, the entire continent has been in turmoil. Now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce suddenly chose to have peace talks with the Candela Empire, the entire continent unexpectedly ushered in an extremely rare period of peace. Calm days.
The entire continent has focused its attention on this peace negotiation.
No matter what the outcome of the peace talks is, everyone is certain that this outcome will inevitably affect the subsequent situation of the entire continent.
If the peace talks between the two parties succeed, then the Candela Empire will obviously pay a heavy price to get the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom to stop.
How painful the price paid by the Candela Empire, and what the specific price is, will determine what attitudes and strategies many countries and forces will use to deal with the Candela Empire and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If the peace talks between the two sides fail and the two sides start war again, it depends on whether the Lu-Xin coalition can really capture Wimbledon City and bring the Candela Empire to the brink of destruction.
Although the Lu-Xin coalition was invincible in the previous battles and the Candela Empire was defeated all the way, Wimbledon is the capital of the Candela Empire after all and represents the entire Candela Empire. The Candela Empire will definitely do everything possible to protect it. .
The power that such an ancient and huge empire can unleash when forced into a desperate situation must be extremely terrifying.
No matter how powerful the Lu-Xin coalition forces were on the battlefield, it would not be easy to capture the city of Wimbledon.
Therefore, other countries and forces must wait until the final results are announced before making decisions.
As a result, many wars were ignited in other places on the mainland, but due to the restart of peace talks between the Candela Empire and the Lu-Xin Alliance, the fighting was temporarily suspended. They are all patiently waiting for the outcome of this peace negotiation.
However, as everyone expected, such a peace negotiation involving almost the two largest forces on the entire continent would not necessarily lead to results that easily.
After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom proposed an armistice agreement, the Candela Empire used up the seven days given by Xu Yi. It was not until the afternoon of the last day that Marquis Descartes came to the city of St. Anthony again with the resolution of the Candela Empire and met with representatives of the Lu-Xin coalition again.
This time, he didn't even see Xu Yi's face.
Representatives sent by the Luersun Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce resolutely rejected the conditions they allowed given by the Candela Empire, and then after five days of intense negotiations with the Marquis Descartes. Only then was a new armistice agreement given, and Marquis Descartes was asked to take it back and present it to the senior officials of the Candela Empire.
This time, the Lu-Xin coalition was extra lenient and gave the Candela Empire half a month to discuss.
This goes back and forth, and by the time the Candela Empire once again offers new conditions for the third peace negotiation, it will inevitably be a month after the Lu-Xin coalition captured the city of St. Anthony.
This situation makes many people feel a little strange.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom were not completely sure about the capture of Wimbledon City, they shouldn't have done nothing during the month-long period after the capture of St. Anthony's City, right
At the very least... we must continue to advance towards Wimbledon City and put more pressure on the Candela Empire. This will be more convenient to force the Candela Empire to agree to the armistice conditions proposed by us, right
However, the Lu-Xin coalition forces have really stood still, as if they were satisfied after capturing the city of St. Anthony. It is really puzzling.
More careful people will find it. Xu Yi, who played a decisive role in determining the outcome of the peace talks and was the most critical figure in the entire incident, had not appeared in San Antonis at all during this period.
So...where did Xu Yi go during this critical period
# # #
On September 11th, a hint of autumn has begun to fall in the north of Sainz Continent, and in the south of Sainz Continent, the Tular Province that was originally part of the Candela Empire is now called Tural. Near the southernmost coast of the Dominion, there are still heat waves and the heat is oppressive.
But because it is close to the seaside. There is a sea breeze blowing from time to time, but it is not extremely uncomfortable.
You can even set up a deck chair on the beach at this time, set up a parasol, and enjoy the sun, beach and sea breeze. It's quite comfortable and pleasant.
This is what Xu Yi and Steele did at this time.
"Hey, Xu Yi, what do you think?" Steele opened his eyes and felt that the sunlight coming from the edge of the parasol was a bit dazzling, so he turned slightly sideways and looked at Xu Yi lying next to him. He frowned slightly, with a confused look on his face. "Why did you give the Candela Empire so long to regenerate its strength? You are simply playing with fire."
"Hey, Steele, didn't you say before that you were going to the Magic Cloud Continent to lie down? You were so exhausted after traveling more than 20,000 kilometers back and forth, so I took you to the beach to relax, not to mention work." Xu Yi He looked at Steele with some amusement.
"It's not like you don't know my temper. I can't hold it in when I have a problem in my heart." Steele gave Xu Yi an angry look. "Besides, this issue is related to the fate of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the entire Candela Empire, and even the situation of the entire Sainz Continent. How can it simply be called work?"
"Actually, for me, this is just a job."
Xu Yi stretched out, knowing that once Steele started the topic, he would not end it easily if he was not satisfied, so he simply sat up, half-lying on the recliner, adjusted a comfortable position, and then resumed Open your mouth.
"Steele, I'm sure you're not the only one who has this question. Many people will wonder why we don't just work together with the Kingdom of Luershan to capture Wimbledon, but choose to fight with Candela at this time. The Empire engages in peace talks.”
"Of course, this is weird, okay? Based on your previous performance, I don't think Wimbledon City can stop your attack at all. Why don't you go and defeat Wimbledon City?" Steele asked curiously. .
"So...have you ever thought about what will happen after Wimbledon is defeated?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"After the fight? Of course... of course..." Steele opened his mouth, but couldn't continue.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "It seems that you have understood. Although I am fully confident that our Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom can join forces to capture Wimbledon City, but capturing Wimbledon City will not actually be of any benefit to us. On the contrary, it will bring a heavy burden, you know what I mean?”
Steele thought for a while and shook his head in confusion: "I can think of some, but I can't fully understand it."
"Okay, let me explain. Although on the surface, Wimbledon City is the capital of the Candela Empire, capturing it can bring a very strong symbolic meaning. We can even declare the demise of the powerful Candela Empire after capturing Wimbledon City. There won’t be many people who will object. But will the Candela Empire really perish?”
"Of course it's impossible." Steele shook his head without hesitation. "After all, the Candela Empire is a huge empire that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years. How can it really perish so easily. Even if Wimbledon City is breached, the power within the Candela Empire still exists, and even His Majesty the Emperor of the Candela Empire can see that the situation is not good. It is almost impossible to abandon the city and escape. It is almost impossible to truly eliminate all the opposition forces in the Candela Empire."
"Yes, this is the key. If you want to completely destroy the Kandra Empire, even an empire of the same level as the Malo Empire cannot do it in a short time. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, and the Luersun Kingdom is just a chamber of commerce. It's just a small country that has never been very powerful before, so it is even more impossible to do this. And to be honest, the complete destruction of the Candela Empire is not in the interests of our Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom. What do you think is the most important benefit to me?”
Steele smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Yi's face.
"You, throughout your life, you have wanted to spread your magic industry to the entire continent of Sainz, so that everyone's life will be better. Can I still not know? Well, from this perspective, destruction Losing the Candela Empire is not a good thing for you, because the Candela Empire is destroyed, and you cannot annex the entire Candela Empire with just the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Instead, the Candela Empire will be split into countless large and small countries. It’s even harder for you to promote it, am I right?”
Xu Yi laughed, leaned over and kissed Steele hard on the face.
"As expected of my most beautiful and wise wife, yes, this is my concern. You see, the southern part of the Candela Empire is already in chaos. Although the Duke of Windsor is included... Oh no, this should be called His Majesty the King of Windsor now. All the former enemies of our Chamber of Commerce have expressed their willingness to cooperate with us wholeheartedly, but I want to thoroughly and better promote the various standards of our Chamber of Commerce, but it is more difficult than when we cooperated with the Candela Empire. "
"Isn't that right? I originally wanted to take this opportunity to vigorously promote the magic projection device of our Crescent Chamber of Commerce here. As a result, the conditions given by each place are different. Negotiating with them is almost exhausting me. ” Steele complained.
"So my suggestion to you is not to focus on this for the time being, but to pay more attention to the situation on the Demon Cloud Continent for the time being." Xu Yi reached out and rubbed Steele's exposed shoulders. Pretending to help her relieve her fatigue. "Speaking of which, you haven't told me how your inspection on the Demon Cloud Continent went this time?"
Upon hearing this question, Steele's eyes immediately lit up.
"The situation is great!" (~^~)
