A piece of shocking news quickly spread throughout the Principality of Standing.
Earl Willon officially declares war on Archduke Standing!
Although according to the previous development of the situation, everyone knew that sooner or later Earl Willon would have a face-to-face confrontation with Justice Standing.
But no one expected that this day would come so quickly.
No matter how rapid Earl Willon's recent development has been, after all, he has just annexed a few small lords. Even if his strength has been greatly improved, he has not yet stabilized the situation in the newly acquired territory. Secondly, he has continued to fight. It was only right to stop and recuperate for a while, but how could he directly engage in an open battle with Standing, the most powerful person in the entire principality
What's more, Grand Duke Standing has been sitting in the position of Grand Duke of the Principality for more than thirty years, and no one can predict how strong he has accumulated.
It was really unwise for Earl Willon to rashly choose to have an open war with Standing.
However, just like what happened before when Earl Willon and other lords went to war, when Earl Willon and Archduke Standing officially fought, the troops under Grand Duke Standing simply could not withstand Earl Willon's attack and were retreating steadily from the beginning. .
In just half a month, Earl Willon's army advanced a full two hundred kilometers into the territory of Grand Duke Standing, occupying more than one-third of the territory under Grand Duke Standing's name.
Before, I was eagerly looking forward to a fierce battle between Earl Willon and Grand Duke Standing. It would be best if both sides suffered losses, or Grand Duke Standing could give a severe lesson to the other lords in Earl Willon's principality. After seeing this situation, all of them Became silent.
soon. There were calls for the replacement of the Grand Duke in the Standing Dukedom.
It seemed that the other lords could no longer resist Earl Willen's advance. Now they are beginning to support Count Willon as the new Grand Duke of Standing.
Some of the lords even praised Count Willen. It is said that he is very likely to become the first grand duke in the history of the Principality of Standing who can truly unify the entire principality and turn the Principality of Standing into a country.
If Count Willen can complete this great undertaking, he will become the greatest Grand Duke in the history of the Principality of Standing, and will definitely write a splendid chapter in the history of the Principality of Standing.
For a time, the situation in the Principality of Standing changed instantly.
Before, Grand Duke Standing had received support from a bunch of lords, but after the official battle between Earl Willon and Grand Duke Standing, these lords who supported Grand Duke Standing immediately switched sides.
In the blink of an eye, Count Willen seemed to have become the perfect candidate for the new Grand Duke.
However, at this time, Earl Willon himself. There was no joy in my heart.

"President Xu, this is the battle plan for the next period of time, please take a look at it." Count Weilun handed over the thick plan book with both hands, with a respectful expression.
Completely different from his previous arrogance when facing Xu Yishi, and even his arrogance when he dared to lead an army to attack Xu Yi's private territory in anger. Now Count Weilun can no longer show any arrogance in front of Xu Yi, but instead treats Xu Yi. He also appeared to be respectful and did not dare to show any arrogance.
Sometimes, Count Willen himself felt angry and humiliated by his demeanor.
But there was nothing he could do.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, especially the other lords of the Principality of Standing. He is so majestic now that he can defeat Standing even in a public battle. He is actually the most popular person in the Standing Principality.
But he himself knew very well that all of this was based on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's support for him.
If he loses the support of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he will be no different from other lords in the Principality of Standing, nothing.
If Xu Yi is dissatisfied, Xu Yi can immediately support another lord to replace him.
And as long as the supply of military magic machinery to him is cut off, the combat effectiveness of his army will become almost zero, and everything he has gained now will only come to nothing.
Sometimes, Lord Wei Lun wants to give up all military magic machines, because he feels that with the territory, manpower, material resources, etc. he now has, he is enough to compete with any lord in the principality, even against Grand Duke Standing. Falling to the wind.
But he also knew very well that if the military magic machinery was really lost, his soldiers who had long been accustomed to using the efficient lethality of military magic machinery to easily win would not even be as effective as the soldiers he had before.
Using the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is like drinking poison to quench your thirst.
If you don't use it, he will be finished immediately, but if you continue to use it, he will be finished as well.
Earl Weilon was very helpless about the current situation. He could not think of any way to solve it, so as time passed, he completely gave up the idea of solving this problem.
He had already made a decision in his heart. Since Xu Yi wanted to use him as a chess piece, he would strive to be a useful chess piece.
Anyway, Xu Yi seems to be only interested in making money, and not much interested in becoming a lord and having the power of life and death over everyone in the territory.
As long as he does things well according to Xu Yi's instructions, then he will definitely become the most powerful Grand Duke in the Principality of Standing.
Although the premise is to follow Xu Yi's arrangements.
Xu Yi took the battle plan, glanced at it, and put it aside.
"Earl Wei Lun, I don't care about the details of your battle. I only care about whether you can achieve the goal I want you to achieve. And in the process of achieving this goal, no matter what you need me and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to do for you I will do my best to support you.”
Seeing the sincere look on Xu Yi's face, Earl Weilun cursed in his heart.
This Xu Yi is simply the most hypocritical villain!
He clearly seemed to control the entire Principality of Standing with one hand, but he pushed himself forward to fight for him through life and death, and kept fighting with other lords in the principality, while he hid behind and did nothing.
Although he thought so in his heart, Earl Willon still had a smile on his face. He nodded and said: "Yes. President Xu. This is where we need supplies next. Please take a look."
Xu Yi took the supply statistics and read it carefully.
After just looking at it for a while, he frowned.
"Count Willen, is the consumption of magic arrows too high? In the past half month, you and Standing fought five times in total, and you actually consumed a hundred thousand magic arrows? But judging from the results of the battle, It seems that the total number of soldiers lost by Grand Duke Standing is not more than 10,000. Do you need to spend more than ten magic arrows on average to kill an enemy?"
Earl Weilun said in a deep voice: "President Xu, it is difficult to determine the situation on the battlefield. The soldiers under Grand Duke Standing are well protected. It is difficult for magic arrows to cause effective damage to them, so they consume more. "
"Really? Do you have any solution?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Yes. Since the other party already has a way to defend against our ordinary military magic machines, as long as you, President Xu, can provide me with more advanced military magic machines, I will be able to easily defeat Archduke Standing." Earl Weilon said proudly .
"Oh?" Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at Count Weilun with a half-smile. "What kind of advanced military magic machine do you want?"
"It doesn't need to be too advanced. Last time I saw the magic rocket launcher demonstrated by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team, it was very powerful. If my subordinates are equipped with this magic rocket launcher, I think Grand Duke Standing's army will be unable to resist. "
Xu Yi knocked on the armrest of the stool, pondered for a moment, and said: "It is not impossible to provide you with part of this magic rocket launcher. But Count Weilun, so far our chamber of commerce has provided you with various military magic machines. Most of you It's all on credit. The magic rocket launcher is indeed powerful, but the price is also very high. Just one magic rocket launcher costs 700 gold coins. Are you sure you can afford it? "
Earl Weilun snorted coldly, thinking that the reason why you are willing to provide me with these military magic machines on credit is because you expect me to go through life and death for you. Why are you talking about these nonsense now
Of course, this cannot be said on the surface.
Earl Wei Lun thought for a while and replied: "In this case, President Xu, according to the old rules, I will cede another territory to you. What do you think?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "Too many territories don't mean much to me. Now this territory is enough for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop. If you give me more territories, it won't make any difference to me."
Earl Weilun immediately spread his hands: "What should I do? I don't have the money."
Seeing Count Weilun acting like a rogue, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Earl Weilun has made it clear that the pot is broken. Anyway, he is sure that Xu Yi will not come forward to do these things by himself now, and it is impossible for Xu Yi to find a new lord for a while. to take his place.
"I don't need territory for the time being, and I'm not short of money at the moment. There's only one thing I need most right now, and that's people." Xu Yizheng said.
"people?"
"Yes. Earl Weilun, let's sign a new agreement. From today on, as long as it is a territory you conquer, our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will have control over half of the people in this territory. To put it simply, I want to separate. Half the people."
"Half?" Earl Weilun's face looked a little ugly. "This is too much? If you take away all those young and strong men, what will happen to my territory?"
"Don't worry." Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand. "The manpower I need is not mainly young men. On the contrary, many factories under our chamber of commerce are in urgent need of adult women."
"Really?" Earl Weilun glanced at Xu Yi inexplicably.
What are the uses of adult women other than to vent their lust and give birth to children
If you really want to choose women, are the young and beautiful girls more attractive
Thinking of this, Earl Weilun suddenly remembered that the two maids Liz and Linda he gave to Xu Yi before were now staying with Xu Yi, and they seemed to be very fond of Xu Yi.
Maybe... Xu Yi really has a special hobby in this area.
Xu Yi ignored the strange thoughts in Earl Weilun's mind and took out the agreement that he had prepared for Earl Weilun.
Earl Weilon glanced at it briefly before signing his name.
Anyway, he could only follow Xu Yi's arrangements, and it was meaningless no matter how clearly he saw it.
After the agreement was signed, the two discussed some future cooperation directions, and Earl Weilun left Xu Yi's private estate.
After Earl Weilun left, Xu Yi stood up and returned to his bedroom.
As soon as the bedroom door was opened, Elders Elushia and Lisania glanced over at the same time.
Elder Lisanya glanced at Xu Yi up and down, and shouted softly: "Take off." (To be continued...)
