Duke Mazaran behaved very toughly in front of Fei Wen, and could even be said to be arrogant, but after all, he was only a frontline commander, and of course he could not fully represent the attitude of the Maro Empire.
Compared to the Duke of Mazaran, the official attitude of the Malo Empire is much more tactful.
However, no matter how tactful it is, the attitude of the Maro Empire is very clear, that is, it will never agree to the truce and peace agreement proposed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Or to be more specific, we will never accept the conditions in the armistice agreement given by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
From the perspective of the Malo Empire, they now clearly have an absolute advantage. As long as they continue to maintain this, they will be able to completely defeat the Lampali Kingdom sooner or later. This will directly lead to the demise of the Lampali Kingdom and become the only superpower on the Sainz Continent. A strong empire that rules the entire Sainz continent.
Under such circumstances, it would be a joke to allow them to choose a truce so easily.
The situation has indeed gone in the direction that the Maro Empire wanted to see.
While wrangling the peace talks with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Malo Empire did not stop its actions at all and continued to intensify its attack on the Lampali Kingdom.
At this time, extremely serious turmoil broke out within the Lampali Kingdom.
Originally belonging to the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, a force calling itself the Ahn'Qiraj Restoration Army suddenly appeared and launched an attack on the Lampali Kingdom's army stationed in the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Lampali Kingdom did not have many regular troops stationed in the Ahn'Qiraj Kingdom, so they were almost completely annihilated by the Ahn'Qiraj Restoration Army.
At the same time, in the territory of the original Sak Kingdom, a force claiming to be led by the king of Sak Kingdom also appeared and attacked everywhere in the original Sak Kingdom.
In addition, there was also a guerrilla force in the Frankish Kingdom that had been secretly receiving assistance from the Maro Empire. During this period, it suddenly increased its harassment and attacks, causing the interior of the Lampali Kingdom to become a mess almost instantly.
Under this situation, the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops of the Lampali Kingdom was naturally greatly affected, so much so that they lost consecutive battles with the troops of the Malo Empire. They retreated all the way and actually managed to capture the territory of the Candela Empire that they had previously occupied. All the territory was sent back.
Seeing that the Malo Empire has taken another step forward and is about to invade the Lampali Kingdom itself. People on Sainz's continent made confused sounds.
What exactly is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doing
More than half a year has passed since the first peace talks between the Lampali Kingdom and the Malo Empire hosted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce failed.
For such a long time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only been verbally calling for a ceasefire between the two sides, but has not made any substantive actions.
This made many people suspicious.
Could it be that...what was said in those newspapers before was true? The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has really lost its strength. Don’t have the guts to join the war at all, let alone declare war directly on the Maro Empire
Almost no one wants to believe this is true.
It has been more than fifty years since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Except for the relatively weak years in the beginning, the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the remaining more than forty years has always been extremely tough. At the same time, it also represents extremely powerful strength.
You know, just over twenty years ago, even the two empires joining forces could not defeat the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually dare not really intervene in the war between the Malo Empire and the Lampali Kingdom
If the Malo Empire is really allowed to invade the Lampali Kingdom itself, or even really destroy the Lampali Kingdom, then the near-invincible image that the New Flying Merchant Association has spent these decades creating on the Sainz Continent will probably be lost. It will collapse instantly.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, whose aura of invincibility has been broken, will completely lose its previous transcendent status on the continent of Sainz, and will become an ordinary chamber of commerce from now on.
And if the Malo Empire destroys the Lampali Kingdom and unifies the entire Sainz continent. It will definitely not give the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce any room to survive.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already laid a solid foundation in Moyun Continent, how could the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be as strong as before without the loss of Sainz Continent
Maybe, the Maro Empire will still accumulate strength and directly invade the Demon Cloud Continent.
After such an analysis, people suddenly discovered that not only the Lampali Kingdom, but even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was at a critical moment of life and death.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just sits back and watches the situation in the Lampali Kingdom worsen, the outcome can be imagined.
And if it wants to take action, is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently strong enough
In the doubts of countless people. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally moved.
If it doesn't move, it's gone; if it moves, it's like thunder crashing down.
In April 3834 of the continental calendar, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce publicly announced that the Maro Empire firmly disagreed with the armistice and peace talks. In order to maintain the peace of Sainz Continent and prevent more civilians from being harmed, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce decided to take more drastic actions, prompting the Maro Empire to choose a ceasefire.
As for these intense moves…
In mid-April of 3834 in the continental calendar, two new fleets of the Flying Chamber of Commerce invaded the northern ports of the Maro Empire from the northern waters of the Endless Sea. Within half a month, they successively destroyed and controlled three northern port cities in the Maro Empire. Together with the other two New Flying Chamber of Commerce fleets, they completely blocked the northern seaport of the Malo Empire.
The Maro Empire's Northern Fleet fought with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce fleet, and eventually the entire army was annihilated, with not a single ship able to survive intact.
At the same time, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s escort team totaled 3,000 magic tanks, coupled with 500 combat magic airships, with a total force of 20,000. They marched north from the Black Rice Wasteland. In just one week, they completely pacified the Sark Kingdom and the The turmoil in the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj then turned to the northeast, entering the Malo Empire from the Principality of Rodan, a small country in the northeast of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
In mid-May of 3834 in the continental calendar, a fierce fight broke out between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts and the western garrison of the Malo Empire.
In just one day, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team completely broke through the defense line of the Maro Empire and directly approached the hinterland of the Maro Empire.
The end of June, 3834 in the continental calendar.
Along the way, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escorts fought twenty-seven battles with the Maro Empire army, without losing any of them. They defeated seventeen Maro Empire garrison regiments and three Imperial Guard regiments, but suffered less than a tenth of their own casualties. One, successfully advanced to the territory of Duke Southgaard.
The Duke of Southgaard immediately announced his separation from the Malo Empire, proclaimed himself the Grand Duke of Southgaard, and established the Principality of Southgaard.
At the same time, the territory of the Malo Empire has been captured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Noble rebellions occurred one after another, and for a time, more than ten small principalities, large and small, were established.
On the other hand, the Lampali Kingdom's army cooperated with another 30,000 New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts. They defeated the Maro Empire army one after another on the frontal battlefield, driving the Maro Empire army back from the territory that originally belonged to the Kandra Empire.
But this time, the coalition forces of the Lampali Kingdom and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not just stop at the border of the Malo Empire, but directly invaded the territory of the Malo Empire with unstoppable force.
At the same time, the distant continent east. On another battlefield, 10,000 Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escorts combined with 50,000 troops sent by Levin Continent landed on the east coast of Sainz Continent, and cooperated with the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to easily defeat the alliance armies of the eastern countries.
In just over a month, the alliance armies of the eastern countries were defeated and the alliance was disbanded.
The eastern countries have chosen to sign the "Armistice and Trade Cooperation Agreement" with the Commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu, and the war that has lasted for several years in the eastern part of the Sainz Continent has come to an end.
In February 3835 of the Continental Calendar, the Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Lulson, the Principality of Drak, the United Kingdom of Nozdormu, the United States of Candela and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort formed a coalition and once again invaded the mainland of the Malo Empire.
Under the strong pressure of the coalition forces, the Emperor of the Maro Empire made a speech, saying that even if both jade and stone were destroyed, they would be destroyed. He will never allow his country to fall into the hands of the enemy, intending to mobilize the power of the whole country to resist the coalition forces.
In April of 3835 in the continental calendar, the coalition forces and the Maro Empire army launched a great battle. The battle ended with the Maro Empire's direct losses of 130,000.
At the end of April 3835 in the continental calendar, the ultra-long-range magic missile exclusively developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce carried two unparalleled magic nuclear warheads and accurately hit two military heavy industry bases in the north of the Maro Empire, destroying the last trace of resistance in the Maro Empire. hope.
Mid-June of the year 3835 in the mainland calendar.
After negotiations, the coalition forces officially accepted the unconditional surrender of the Maro Empire.
In March 3836 of the continental calendar, the Emperor of the Malo Empire publicly announced his abdication, and the Malo Empire was restructured at the same time. The major provinces of the former empire formed the new Federal Republic of Maro and abolished the imperial system.
The first president of the Federal Republic of Maro was the Grand Duke of Southgaard.
At this point, the war has lingered on the Sainz continent for more than twenty years. This finally comes to an end.
# # #
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed.
The Sainz continent has spent more than twenty years of peace, and the entire Sainz planet has also developed peacefully and stably for more than twenty years.
In the past twenty years, the magic technology of this world has made another leap forward.
In the civilian field, various types of magical machines have been further popularized, and people's lives have become more convenient and comfortable than they were twenty years ago.
One of the most obvious and far-reaching changes is the widespread popularity of magic communication networks.
Today's magical communication network is not just what it was twenty years ago. Just transmitting sounds and images, but almost any intangible data can be transmitted through the magic communication network.
People can even enter the magic communication network at any time and communicate and interact with another person in the network at will.
The emergence of such a network has brought everyone on Planet Sainz into one, almost becoming one body.
Another huge change is the transformation of transportation methods.
Magic airships have long been popular, and even many wealthy families can afford to purchase small magic airships for private use.
In terms of public transportation, although faster cars, magic airships, and ships are constantly being introduced, they have long ceased to be mainstream transportation methods.
The teleportation array promoted by the New Flight Association twenty years ago has already replaced almost all traffic and even transportation.
Using the teleportation array, people can even teleport from Sainz Continent to Moyun Continent in an instant, directly spanning a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.
Because of the emergence of this mode of transportation, people no longer even have the concept of distance.
No matter where you live, as long as you want to see another person, contact him through the magic communication network, and then use the teleportation array to get there. At most, you can take a short-distance magic bus on the way, and you can reach him after taking two steps.
If it weren't for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's strict control over the erection of teleportation arrays by private individuals, I'm afraid that wealthy and powerful people would also set up a teleportation array in their own homes. Connected to the transmission network to facilitate travel.
But no matter what, wealthy families are still eligible to purchase small private magic airships for their own use, which is still much more convenient than ordinary people.
Such a convenient mode of transportation. People suddenly felt that the planet under their feet had become smaller, so they turned their attention to the endless starry sky.
Under the leadership of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, although the teleportation array can already allow people to teleport directly from the Sainz continent to Alice and Tidus, even further planets, and even further to other star systems. But all countries are still very committed to developing the aerospace industry.
Because as Xu Yi once said, although the teleportation array allows you to instantly teleport from Sainz Continent to Moyun Continent, you still have to walk a certain distance yourself if you want to actually reach your destination.
The same is true for navigation in the universe.
Even if the teleportation array can directly send you to another planet that has been explored, if you need to do something in space, the teleportation array has no choice but to fly there by yourself.
Under the leadership of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, the outside of Sainz's planet is now densely covered with countless artificial satellites and space bases.
The newly developed spaceship has even achieved breakthroughs due to new research on teleportation magic. Realistic hyperspace travel is possible.
The last successful experiment was the Discovery spacecraft of the New Aviation Chamber of Commerce. Through hyperspace flight, it flew directly out of the star system where Sainz's planet is located.
Regarding the success of this test, Evita, director of the Magic Research Institute of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, said that in the next step, as long as the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce solves the problem of galaxy coordinates, then true interstellar travel can be carried out.
No one doubts the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Everyone is looking forward to what Xu Yi once said. The advent of the true age of space navigation.
# # #
Xu Yi stood in the starry sky teleportation array on Alice, feeling a little nervous.
It's a bit funny to say that, even though he is the former president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the most prestigious person in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But it was his first time to experience this starry sky travel that had been experienced by countless research institutes of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and even many ordinary people.
Even this time, Steele and others still strongly opposed it and expressed that they did not want him to take this risk.
If it hadn't been for his rare temper tantrum, I'm afraid he still wouldn't have made it this time.
"President, are you ready to return it?" An employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce asked Xu Yi nervously.
"Okay. Let's get started."
The employee nodded, but he was already sweating profusely. He wiped it hard before pressing the button to activate the teleportation array.
Xu Yi's eyes dimmed and brightened, and he found that the scene in front of him didn't seem to have changed much.
But a voice from the side reminded him that he was no longer on Alice.
"President, how did it feel to leave Alice for the first time?" Lucian asked with a smile.
Xu Yi turned to glare at him and snorted: "You are here more than twenty years before me."
Lucian laughed.
As the first human being to have the courage to cross the teleportation array and come to this unknown planet, he is indeed entitled to be proud.
"President, let me accompany you there." Lucian said as he led Xu Yi to another teleportation array.
"What's the latest feedback from the front?" Xu Yi asked.
The expression on Lucian's face immediately became solemn.
"The latest report received yesterday shows that signs of life were indeed found on planet B339, and the exploration team also witnessed the existence of large creatures with their own eyes."
The reason why Xu Yi ignored the opposition of a lot of people this time and insisted on entering the teleportation array and heading to the planet B339 discovered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of this year was because the explorers ahead found traces of life on this planet.
Now when he heard Lucian say that he had discovered the existence of large creatures, Xu Yi suddenly became excited.
The teleportation arrays currently controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that can travel through the starry sky are actually the legacy left by the Abyss Demon Clan 10,000 years ago.
The so-called exploration is nothing more than tracking the past one teleportation array after another.
In this case, being able to discover the existence of life on planet B339 means that the Abyss Demon Clan is very likely to stay on this planet, which means that they may finally find the Abyss Demon Clan.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has discovered Planet B339 for more than four months, but there is still no movement from the Abyss Demons, which makes Xu Yi a little strange.
It stands to reason that these teleportation arrays were left behind by the Abyss Demon Clan. It's not like they can't detect these abnormalities.
"Large creature? What kind of large creature is it?"
"The front has a vague influence, you see." Lucian took out a picture and handed it to Xu Yi.
When Xu Yi saw the result, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because there is no reference object for the creature in this picture, the size cannot be clearly seen. But it has a pointed head, a long tail, and two fin-like things on both sides. It looks... more like a shark.
There is no such thing as a shark on Planet Sainz, so this must be an alien creature.
But looking at this unusually familiar shape, Xu Yi couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Lucian saw a strange expression on Xu Yi's face. Couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." Xu Yi shook his head and stood on the teleportation array leading to the next planet with Lucian.
After repeating the same process more than twenty times, Xu Yi and Lucian appeared in a teleportation array again, but the surrounding space suddenly became oppressive.
Xu Yi looked up and found that under the light of the teleportation array base, all the areas above his head took on the shape of water waves.
It looked like they were in the deep sea at the moment.
"President Xu, you are here." The first person to greet him was Elder Lisanya.
When she learned that there were signs of life on planet B339, she rushed over as soon as possible and has been here for more than two months.
Assisted by the magic of life behind her. It actually gave the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce researchers here a better understanding of the study of local organisms.
Xu Yi looked up and asked, "Looking at this, we should be at the bottom of the sea now?"
Elder Lisanya shook his head: "We are not 100% sure yet. Although according to analysis, the composition of the water above our heads is exactly the same as that of the endless sea, but this is an unknown planet, and we cannot just conclude like this."
Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
When embarking on an interstellar travel adventure, you can never be too cautious.
"President Xu, you came just in time. I just translated this text. You can take a look." Elder Lisanya said again.
"Words?" Xu Yi took the piece of paper handed over by Elder Lisanya in astonishment.
"It's the words we found on a stone slab after we came here. Elder Lisania said that these words were very similar to the words used by the Abyss Demon Tribe ten thousand years ago, so he tried to translate them." The staff of the Flying Chamber of Commerce explained.
"The text of the Abyss Demon Clan?" Xu Yi was shocked and quickly started to read it carefully.
However, after watching for a while, the expression on Xu Yi's face became extremely strange.
The first half of this passage is nothing special. It's just that these abyss demons described that it took them decades of adventure and exploration to finally find a planet with an environment similar to their hometown and suitable for survival. They went through various hardships and dangers in the process, and now they have finally arrived. Here, I feel extremely happy.
Of course these things are normal. But when Xu Yi saw the last paragraph, he felt that it was very abnormal.
“We don’t know if we can return to our hometown, but for those of us who are in self-exile, now that we are here, let go of everything and start a new life, so we also have to start a new one. After discussion among several elders, in order to commemorate our hometown, we named our clan Atlantis.”
The words left by the Abyss Demon Clan are obviously not like these, nor are the words translated by Elder Lisania. But if these last few words are read out, they are the standard "Atlantis".
"President Xu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xu Yi's strange expression, Elder Lisanya asked curiously. "Do you see anything from this?"
Xu Yi turned to look at Elder Lisanya: "After you came here, you haven't gone up to take a look?"
"Go up? Where to go?" Elder Lisanya asked strangely.
"It's up here." Xu Yi raised his head and pointed upward, his eyes scanning all kinds of very familiar creatures swimming in the water from time to time. He took a deep breath and suddenly added a magic shield to himself. The next moment, Has disappeared in the teleportation array.
About two minutes later, Xu Yi rushed out of the water with a spray of water, and then quickly took off with teleportation magic. Soon he had penetrated the atmosphere above his head and entered space again.
When he reached a suitable location, he stopped, turned around and looked, and a huge blue planet came into view.
Looking at the strangely familiar person in front of me, I once
