Luo Meng put down the newspaper in his hand and let go of his attention from the text. The voices next to him reached his ears again.
"Hey, I heard that the Kandra Empire's army has advanced more than 300 kilometers into the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and they only broke through Feitling City two days ago."
"Tch, when did this news come from? It would be too ignorant for you to come out and say it now, right?"
"That's right, who would be patient to hear this news now? The Candela Empire is much stronger than the Magic Kingdom of Mana, so wouldn't it be normal to win?"
"You just know that the Candela Empire won the battle, but do you know how they agreed?" The person who was rebutted seemed a little unconvinced.
"How else can we win? Isn't it because the Candela Empire has a large army and good equipment? Is there any other reason?"
"Nonsense, you just say there are many people and good equipment. It doesn't matter if there are more people. What does good equipment mean? Do you understand?"
"Of course it's well equipped..." The person who answered hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly continued. "Of course the Kandra Empire's army has more military magic machines, otherwise it would not have invaded the Magic Kingdom of Mana for more than 300 kilometers in such a short period of time."
"Then tell me, why is the army of the Candela Empire equipped with more military magic machines than the Magic Kingdom of Mana? You must know that the military magic machines sold to each country by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are actually similar, and there is not much difference at all. "
"Well..."
"Hehe, you don't know this, right? Let me tell you, I heard that the Candela Empire has been secretly developing military magic machines for these years..."
As soon as these words came out, the tavern that was bustling with people just now fell into silence.
Luo Meng glanced at them privately and saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces that they knew but couldn't express. He couldn't help but smile.
The conjecture that the Candela Empire privately developed and manufactured military magic machines had actually surfaced a few years ago, but it had always been a casual speculation among people chatting in private, and not many people really believed it.
After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been adhering to restricting the circulation and development of military magic machines for more than ten years. No country on the mainland will risk offending the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by blatantly developing military magic machines—as for whether it is true in private Yes, that's another matter.
And during this recent period. To be precise, starting about half a month ago, this rumor spread all over the Sainz continent at once, and it has become a fact recognized by the vast majority of people. It can no longer be called a rumor.
the reason is simple. The Candela Empire declared war on the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and then during the official war between the two countries, they both produced a huge number of military magic machines that far exceeded the imagination of the outside world. Many of the military magic machines were not even sold to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before. Other countries are on the list.
This is simply equivalent to publicly announcing to everyone that they are secretly developing military magic machines.
And in comparison. The Candela Empire has obviously invested more in this area, researched it more deeply, and maybe conducted research in advance.
Therefore, the number of military magic machines equipped by the Candela Empire's military obviously far exceeded that of the Mana Magic Kingdom. In addition, the Candela Empire's military strength was already much stronger, so it naturally had the upper hand. It only took half a month to defeat them. The Magic Kingdom of Mana suffered several defeats and was forced to give up large tracts of territory.
In the minds of civilians in Sainz Continent, it is certainly unsettling that Sainz Continent suddenly started war again after eleven years of peace. But as long as it has nothing to do with you, you can still watch it as fun and don't care so much.
This is especially true for the ordinary civilians in the Maro Empire around them.
The Candela Empire chose to go to war with the Magic Kingdom of Mana. Regardless of winning or losing, the Maro Empire would gain some benefits from it.
Needless to say, if you lose, even if you win, because of the presence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Candela Empire will not be able to really expand the war to an uncontrollable situation. Maybe the Candela Empire will also expose a large number of military weapons it has developed privately. Magical machinery. But being punished by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would be more gain than loss.
However, the civilians of the Malo Empire could happily pretend to be watching the fun, but Romon was not so relaxed.
As an employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he actually started a war with the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana. The response from chamber brass has been one of confusion.
Logically speaking, based on the attitude shown by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for more than ten years, and because of the consistent insistence of the president Xu Yi, if the Candela Empire rashly chooses the Magic Kingdom of Mana to start a war, it will inevitably receive a warning from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and force it to A truce is the right thing to do.
Even if the Magic Kingdom of Mana angered the president before. This led to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announcing its complete withdrawal from the Magic Kingdom of Mana. However, according to the president's consistent style, there will never be any ambiguity when it comes to such major events.
But the fact is that more than half a month has passed since the war between the two sides began, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and has not made any response at all.
Even though several newspapers came to the door and wanted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to give an official opinion, they only got a unified reply, that is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as a chamber of commerce, undoubtedly interferes in matters between other countries, so there is no such thing. Any views.
No comments? What a joke!
If this is the case, what did Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do in the past ten years
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really indifferent to this and has not made any statement.
In the eyes of many people, this is almost like an acquiescence to this.
Many people even suspected that it was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that had reached a private agreement with the Candela Empire, which prompted the Candela Empire to choose to invade the Magic Kingdom of Mana.
Otherwise, why did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announce its complete withdrawal from the Magic Kingdom of Mana
And most importantly, why did President Xu Yixu simply leave Sainz Continent a few months ago and go to Moyun Continent, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away from here
All of this was premeditated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
Thinking of the remarks he heard yesterday, Luo Meng's face darkened.
He himself is a member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he is also a middle-level manager. Naturally, he is more familiar with the internal situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than outsiders.
Regarding the sudden war between the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana, there was indeed no special reaction within the Chamber of Commerce. All affairs were carried out as usual, as if this incident had no impact at all.
It's just that when the Chamber of Commerce personnel discuss it in private, they will also feel a little strange about the Chamber of Commerce's reaction this time.
In any case, it is too strange that the Chamber of Commerce did not make any statement on the war between the two countries.
Everyone knows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has a strong influence on all countries on the Sainz continent, and when it comes to military aspects, it is almost a decisive force.
As long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce expresses its stance, or even takes action, the Candela Empire will have no choice but to stop as soon as it is good, and it is impossible to continue to expand its offensive and invade the Magic Kingdom of Mana.
"Perhaps it's really because of the president's absence?" Romon's thoughts swirled in his mind.
He suddenly thought of another thing.
This time, the president personally led a team to the Demon Cloud Continent, not only bringing a large number of magic forums and personnel and supplies, but also a total of five thousand elite chamber of commerce guards.
Although compared to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, which currently has a total number of more than 40,000, taking away 5,000 guards is not enough to break the muscles and bones, but it is still an impact to some extent, indicating the weakening of the Chamber of Commerce's armed strength.
The most important thing is the attitude that the president inadvertently revealed after taking away these guards - the power of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been temporarily weakened, and its suppression of other countries on the continent has naturally been weakened.
Xu Yi, the core president, is also not here. Doesn't it mean that other countries can take advantage of this golden opportunity to do something
wrong! What if the president didn’t do it unintentionally
The past year suddenly flashed through Luo Meng's mind, and his face suddenly turned pale.
If the president did this intentionally instead of accidentally... then the consequences would be too serious...
Romon shook his head vigorously, throwing this dangerous thought out of his mind.
No, as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is here, other countries on this continent will not dare to act rashly.
After all, it's not like the president will never come back. As soon as he comes back, he can just say a word and guarantee that the Candela Empire will obediently withdraw its troops and cease the war. There is absolutely no other choice.
But... The president has been away for nearly half a year. When will he come back
Romon raised his head and looked westward through the window.
The distance between the president and him now exceeds 10,000 kilometers. Even with the speed of a magic airship, it would take two and a half days to cross it. How can it be so easy to get back
Besides, according to some information revealed by senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce, the president will stay in Sainz Continent for a long time this time, and the return date has not been determined at all.
While he was thinking about it, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door of the tavern, blocking the light coming in and making the tavern dark.
The figure stood at the door for a moment, then turned around and walked directly in the direction of Romon.
Without waiting for him to approach, Luo Meng recognized him at a glance. The person coming was Arroyo, his most capable deputy and one of the directors of the college's promotion plan.
Arroyo strode over, pulled the wine glass out of Romon's hand, slammed it on the table, and scolded: "I knew you were lazy here again! Okay, come with me quickly, Lord City Lord Meet us now!”(~^~)
