The dividing line between the private territory delivered to Xu Yi by Lord Wei Lun and his private territory is mainly a river that originates from the junction of the north of the Principality of Standing and the Black Rice Wasteland, and finally flows into the Endless Sea, named Abdante River means a fertile river.
The Abdante River is not too wide, but after Xu Yi accepted this territory, he imitated the Rum River outside Bangta City, widened the Abdant River and transformed its embankments, and built a new river bank at the mouth of the sea. A dam was built nearby, making the river more than fifty meters wide at its narrowest point, and even more than twenty meters deep at its deepest point.
At first, many people in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not understand Xu Yi's high-profile transformation of the Abdante River, because more than half a million gold coins had been invested in transforming the river.
In the opinion of most people, this is simply unnecessary expense.
However, today, when Earl Willon led ten thousand of his most elite troops to the Abdante River, looking at this extremely wide river with bottomless water, But I found that Xu Yi's approach was too far-sighted.
With such a natural barrier, his subordinates could not fly across it, so it was naturally impossible to attack the territory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Five days ago, Earl Weilun received a statement from Xu Yi.
In the statement, Xu Yi sternly rejected the request of Lord Wei Lun to "no longer sell and provide military magic machinery to other lords in the Principality of Standing", and said that since this territory is now owned by him, then Earl Wei Lun has no Take back the power.
As for all the properties of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Earl Weilun has no qualifications to acquire them.
Xu Yi's words in the statement were very impolite, and he bluntly called Count Willon's idea a wishful thinking.
Saw this statement. Earl Weilun was furious. In just five days, he organized 10,000 of his most elite soldiers to invade Xu Yi's private territory.
In his opinion, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually only has less than 2,000 guards. Half of them are still left in the Heimi Wasteland. The current protective force on Xu Yi's private territory is only about a thousand Chamber of Commerce guards, and it is impossible to stop his army.
However, just from the beginning, they encountered the huge obstacle of the Abdant River, and even entering Xu Yi's private territory was extremely difficult.
Looking at the territory on the other side of the river, there are many factories and beautiful neat houses. As well as the flat roads that crisscrossed the land, Earl Weilon snorted heavily, but his eyes revealed completely uncontrollable greed. In fact, he has long had the idea of annexing all the properties of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The huge value contained in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he has been a neighbor of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time. And people who have worked closely with each other for a long time know it best.
He knew very well that if he could completely bring the New Flying Chamber of Commerce under his control, he would definitely become the most powerful lord in the Principality of Standing, even much more powerful than Grand Duke Standing.
It's just that Earl Weilun felt that his strength was not enough before, so even though he coveted the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in his heart, he could only endure it secretly.
However, after defeating Earl Fran and several other lords in succession, Earl Willon's strength expanded several times. His confidence also increased greatly, and he even believed that he now had enough strength to easily defeat even Archduke Standing.
However, the four lords' previous joint counterattack against him made him clearly realize a problem.
The reason why he was able to easily defeat Count Fran and several other lords. It was entirely due to his possession of the military magic machinery provided by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that the combat effectiveness of his soldiers far exceeded those of other lords, and he was able to advance rapidly.
The reason why the four lords who fought back against him gave him his first defeat was because their men were also equipped with various military magic machines from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, putting both sides on the same starting line.
From easily defeating the opponent, to both sides being basically evenly matched. The difference lies in whether it is equipped with military magic machinery.
Count Willen understands this better than anyone else.
So after careful consideration. Earl Weilun made a completely unreasonable request to Xu Yi: "Do not allow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to continue selling military magic machinery to other lords in the Principality of Standing."
Earl Weilun did not expect Xu Yi to agree, or rather he expected Xu Yi not to agree. Because in this way, he would have enough excuses to launch an attack on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and swallow up the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in his mouth.
As long as he can fully control the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he can continue to have an absolute equipment advantage, and can definitely easily defeat all other lords in the principality, and eventually occupy the entire Principality of Standing and become the next Grand Duke of Standing.
Even... He is confident that he can fight out of the Principality of Standing, defeat all the countries on this continent, and become the new overlord of this continent!
However, before achieving this ambitious and ambitious goal, we must first solve the problem in front of us.
"Where's the boat? Haven't you got it yet?" Earl Willon turned to his cronies and asked impatiently.
He and the ten thousand men he had brought with him had been staying by the Abdante River for a whole morning, waiting for enough boats to be transferred from other places to transport the soldiers across this damn river.
"We have collected some boats, but they are not many. I'm afraid... I'm afraid there's no way we can transport so many of us there at once." The confidant responded with a look of embarrassment. "Lord, why don't we just try to rush across from the bridge?"
Earl Willon looked in the direction of his confidant's finger, and his eyes fell on a wide bridge across the Abdante River, which was not too far away.
After just one glance, Earl Weilon's face immediately darkened, he slapped his confidant on the head hard, and cursed angrily: "Are you an idiot? Didn't you see a row of magic rocket launchers and patches of magic placed on the other side of the bridge? Lian Nu? Do you believe that even if all of us are dead, we can’t cross this bridge?”
The confidant touched his head and muttered: "It's not that exaggerated, is it? It's not like we haven't used magic rocket launchers and magic repeating crossbows before, and they're not so powerful that we can't handle them at all."
"Nonsense, the magic rocket launchers and magic repeating crossbows we use are provided by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. They will definitely not give us the best. I am sure that the magic rocket launchers and magic repeating crossbows they use are more powerful than the ones we use. Much bigger," Count Willen continued to scold. "Besides, the loss would be too great if we crossed over such a narrow bridge. If we cross over the river, we can minimize the loss. After all, they have too few people? Do you understand?"
The confidant nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Lord, you are really extremely wise."
Earl Weilon snorted coldly, turned his head and continued to frown at the other side of the river.
Although he spoke lightly, he also knew that even if he had an absolute advantage in numbers, if he wanted to break through the Abdant River, the losses would be extremely heavy.
However, as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be controlled in the end, no matter how heavy the losses are, they can bear it.
Anyway, these subordinates are just civilians forcibly recruited from the territory. If they are all dead, they will be recruited again.
As long as you have enough strength, you can conquer a larger territory and have more people.
It’s just 10,000 people, it’s nothing.
"Lord, someone is flying over." The confidant on the side suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the sky in the distance.
"Flying over?" Earl Weilon was stunned. He looked up and saw a person flying at high speed from the opposite sky. A moment later, he had already leaped across the wide Abdant River and landed in front of Earl Weilon's army.
When the visitor landed, Earl Weilun took a closer look and was stunned again.
This person is actually Xu Yi!
"Lord, can you come out and say a few words to me?" Xu Yi's eyes shot in the direction of Earl Weilun until they landed on Earl Weilun's face.
Seeing the faint smile on Xu Yi's face, Earl Weilun's heart suddenly jumped, and the expression on his face changed drastically.
He suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important issue.
When calculating the combat effectiveness of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he only included the escorts of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but completely ignored an extremely important factor that could play a decisive role in traditional wars on the continent of Sainz, that is The existence of magicians!
Because of the small area of the Principality of Standing and the low average quality of the population, there are not many magicians in the entire principality, and there is not even a single great magician.
Although Lord Weilun now has many soldiers and his strength is far greater than before, there is no magician in his army at all, because all the magicians in the Principality of Standing have been recruited by Grand Duke Standing, and Standing The Grand Duke also did not allow other lords to recruit magicians on their own.
Now seeing Xu Yi flying over the river, Earl Weilun immediately thought of this serious problem.
Compared to him who has no magicians at all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a large number of magicians.
Not to mention anything else, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute alone currently has a total of 463 magicians, and the lowest one is a fourth-level magician, and there are 117 of them. They are all advanced magicians of level six and above.
Not to mention that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also has a super heavyweight, that is the great magician Camilla!
Considering that there are even more than a thousand magicians of level three and below in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who are responsible for making magic mechanical power core magic arrays, it is absolutely certain that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not only far behind in terms of the strength of magicians. Far beyond Earl Willen, and even far beyond the entire Principality of Standing!
Even the young-looking, harmless-looking Xinfei Chamber of Commerce President Xu Yi in front of him, with a sunny smile, is himself a powerful ninth-level magician!
