As soon as the hottest summer passed, the battle that broke out between Count Willen and Archduke Standing immediately became more intense.
Grand Duke Standing actually sent an assassin of the level of Archmage Rena to assassinate Xu Yi, which made the New Flying Chamber of Commerce further support Count Weilun. Not only did it continuously provide Count Weilun with a large number of military magic machines, but also from The Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Luersun, and several other countries that have cooperation projects with each other purchased a large amount of supplies, which completely solved Earl Willen's worries, and naturally he was able to go all out to fight Standing in an open war.
Even the New Flying Chamber of Commerce directly intervened in the war between the lords within the Principality of Standing for the first time. In the battle between Earl Willen and Grand Duke Standing, the most elite guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were sent to participate in the battle several times. .
With the terrifying firepower of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team even several times more powerful than Count Willen's men, Archduke Standing was even more powerless to resist.
In just two months, Count Willen led his men to personally attack Faraday City, the capital of the Principality of Standing.
When Archduke Standing saw that there was no hope of resistance, a fire burned the glorious Grand Duke's Palace that he had spent decades building to ashes, and he was also buried in the sea of fire.
Subsequently, several lords in the Principality of Standing expressed their surrender to Earl Willon at the same time, and at the same time elected him as the new Grand Duke of Standing, known as the Grand Duke of Willen.
The first thing that Grand Duke Wei Lun did after taking over the position of Grand Duke was to ask all other lords in the Duke to disarm and fully accept the leadership and appointment of the Grand Duke.
Most of the lords obeyed, but only a few lords refused.
some of. This includes the same influence in the south of the Principality of Standing. The extremely popular Viscount Ancru.
If an ordinary lord dares to resist the current Grand Duke Wei Lun. Then what will greet him is the merciless blow from Wei Lun's part-time job.
In fact, Wei Lun does this when working.
A week after he issued the order to disarm, Duke Wei Lun immediately sent troops to conquer several lords who resisted his order, easily defeated these lords, and unceremoniously included their territories into his own. in hand.
However, when it came to Viscount Ancru who also resisted his orders, Grand Duke Willen was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not make any moves in unison. Both sides behaved extremely peacefully and restrainedly. It was as if there would be no conflict at all.
In fact, everyone in the Standing Principality understands that whether it is Viscount Angkru or Grand Duke Weilun, the biggest supporter behind them is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or Xu Yi.
Don't look at the fact that these two lords can control the situation in the Principality of Standing, but in fact, what they want to do must be decided by the faces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi.
This is a frustrating fact.
The support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is crucial to either party. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gives up its support for one of the parties, the fate that awaits this party will be to be completely defeated by the other party.
Or to put it more bluntly, there is only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In other words, Xu Yi is the only one who can truly determine the internal situation of the Principality of Standing.
And it makes everyone confused. Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has such a strong strength, why not simply send out its own troops to conquer all the lords in the Principality of Standing instead of choosing the two forces of Viscount Ancru and Grand Duke Weilun
Or he could simply choose to support one of the parties and help that party rule the entire Principality of Standing. Wouldn't this be able to gain greater benefits
"Actually, I can indeed do this." Xu Yi looked seriously at Anklu and the new Grand Duke of Standing, Grand Duke Weilun, who were sitting on his left and right respectively.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one in the Principality of Standing would believe that Viscount Ancru and Grand Duke Weilon, who were currently fighting for control of the Principality of Standing, would actually sit face to face calmly at this time. There was even a smile on both of their faces, as if the two sides were not enemies at all, but rather good friends.
"The reason why I didn't do this is because I felt that doing so would actually cause too much damage to the Principality of Standing and would not be conducive to the development of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing." Xu Yi continued.
Anklu took a sip of tea and glanced at Grand Duke Wei Lun, who was smiling but looking at him with a fierce look in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "President Xu, let me guess. Your biggest concern is that the ongoing war in the Standing Principality will seriously affect the population? "
"That's right." Xu Yi nodded lightly. "Our Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of a large number of manpower. The local population of the Principality of Standing is very important to me, and I don't want them to suffer losses due to the war."
Anklu's face sank slightly: "President Xu, with all due respect. If it weren't for your strong support for Earl Weilun, Earl Weilun would never have the courage to attack other lords, let alone even dare to challenge him in the end. Grand Duke Standing.”
The Grand Duke Wei Lun on the opposite side raised his eyebrows and glared at Ancru: "What? Viscount Ancru, are you looking down on me? Do you want us to go back and compare ourselves now?"
Angkru glanced at Grand Duke Wei Lun with disdain and snorted: "If President Xu hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten your rabble to pieces."
Grand Duke Wei Lun was immediately furious. He stood up, pointed at Anklu and shouted: "Well, let's go back and start the war immediately. Let's see who is the rabble!"
Just as Anklu was about to answer, Xu Yi, who was walking in the middle, snorted coldly. The two immediately fell silent and looked at Xu Yi together.
"I don't care if you don't like each other, but since you are here, sit down and talk!" Xu Yi glanced coldly, and after the two glared at each other, they sat down at the same time.
Seeing the two men holding back their anger, Xu Yi frowned slightly.
With the current attitudes of these two guys, how can we expect them to coexist peacefully and work together for the development of the Principality of Standing
In fact, if possible, Xu Yizhen would like to directly eliminate the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team as speculated by many lords in the Principality of Standing. Suppress all opposition in the Principality of Standing. Completely bring the Principality of Standing under your control. That way, no matter how he wants to make development plans for the Principality of Standing, he can do whatever he wants without being tied as he is now.
However, the manpower problem he was worried about was not only the manpower of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's factories, but also the manpower of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team.
Although the manpower of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team has been continuously expanded, it is now close to three thousand.
Coupled with the various military magic machines equipped, as well as long-term training and high quality, these nearly three thousand guards, filled with a large number of dwarf warriors and elven warriors, have extremely terrifying combat effectiveness. In a head-on battle, it can even easily defeat more than 10,000 enemies.
However, because there are too few manpower after all, it is okay to protect the current main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but it is extremely insufficient to rule the entire Principality of Standing.
Therefore, Xu Yi must find other powerful lords in the Principality of Standing as agents, and use agents to achieve his planned reform of the Principality of Standing.
In this regard, there are advantages and disadvantages to choosing Angkru and choosing Weilun Archduke.
Ankru has excellent abilities and can understand the situation clearly, and has many similarities with Xu Yi's ideas. If he cooperates with him, Xu Yi can complete his plan for the Principality of Standing more conveniently and easily.
But Anklu has a shortcoming that Xu Yi is very worried about. That is his lofty ambition, in other words, he is very ambitious. It is difficult for such a person to be willing to submit to others, and I am afraid that he will not completely obey Xu Yi's arrangements in the future.
Grand Duke Wei Lun is not as good as Anklu in other aspects, but he obeys Xu Yiyan and is very suitable as a puppet.
Xu Yi was not yet able to get rid of both of them, so he chose to support both of them at the same time so that they could check and balance each other.
At least at this stage, these two people must win the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so they will make sufficient concessions to Xu Yi.
Today Xu Yi was able to bring these two people together at the same time because of this.
After a pause, Xu Yi said to Anklu: "Anklu, I remember that your ideal is to let the people of the Principality of Standing live a good life, right?"
Anklu nodded slightly: "Yes, this is my ideal that will never change. But President Xu, the Principality of Standing has been in war for a year now, and this is not what I want."
Xu Yi nodded and did not respond. Instead, he turned to Grand Duke Wei Lun and asked, "What about you, Grand Duke Wei Lun? What is your ideal?"
Grand Duke Wei Lun curled his lips: "I don't have such lofty ideals, I just want to live a better life for myself."
"Moth!" Anklu snorted softly.
Grand Duke Wei Lun's eyes widened and he was about to get angry again.
Xu Yi waved his hand to stop him.
"Okay, since the requirements of both of you are not too high, it is much simpler. Angkru, you have visited Bangta City. I believe you should be very clear about the influence of Bangta City in our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. "How much has changed and how much people's lives have improved in Bangta City."
Ankru nodded and turned to look in the direction of the Lampali Kingdom, with a hint of fascination in his expression.
"The city of Bangta at that time was really the most vibrant and energetic city I have ever seen in my life. If every city in our Principality of Standing could become like Bangta City, then even if I die now, There won’t be any complaints.”
"You don't need to die." Xu Yi smiled. "As long as you work closely with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then the Principality of Standing will naturally become like the people of Bonta City. The people of the Principality of Standing will also become as vibrant and energetic as the people of Bonta City. "
Anklu pondered for a long time and nodded slowly.
"President Xu, I believe you have this ability. Now in your private territory, people's lives in my opinion are no different from those in heaven. If you can make all the people in the Principality of Standing If you all have such a life, then no matter what you ask me to do, I will be willing to do it. Even if...even if you are elected to become Grand Duke Standing, I will have no objection."
Grand Duke Wei Lun snorted: "Then what should I do? Should I become an earl again?"
Anklu's expression turned cold: "What? What qualifications do you have to compare with Chairman Xu?"
"Of course I am not qualified to be compared with President Xu. But since I am already Grand Duke Standing, how can I let President Xu condescend to take my place." Justice Wei Lun said.
Anklu was a little confused: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's very simple." Grand Duke Wei Lun suddenly became excited. "To tell you the truth, if President Xu has this intention, he should be the king!" (To be continued...)
