The atmosphere inside the staff of King Sack's Ministry was deadly solemn.
Avi João's eyes passed over the faces of his colleagues, and finally fell on the face of Benjamin Decker, the Chief of Staff. He found that this wise brain, known as the Staff, always showed his ability at all times. The minister, who was known for his confident appearance, also had a gloomy face at the moment, and he was obviously not in a good mood.
This is understandable. After receiving the news from the southwest of the kingdom, no one can feel better.
The Spirit Turtle Legion, the military's best at defensive operations, actually suffered a defeat within the kingdom, and the person who defeated them was not a particularly powerful legion, but just one person.
Of course, this person is a powerful great magician. Faced with this super existence that is already far beyond the understanding of ordinary people in many places, the Spirit Turtle Legion only sent a team of two thousand people, so it suffered a defeat. In fact, strictly speaking, illness cannot be regarded as something completely unacceptable.
But the problem lies in the identity of this great magician.
The great magician who single-handedly defeated the Spirit Turtle Legion branch was actually Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
Xu Yi is undoubtedly one of the most famous people in these southwestern countries on the Sainz continent, but he is one of the few people who has gained such high fame and prestige as a businessman, which makes other people feel uncomfortable every time. When I think of him, the first thing that comes to mind is his identity as the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but I always ignore the fact that he is actually a quite powerful magician.
King Sack's army has not forgotten this fact, but they never expected that Xu Yi had actually become a powerful magician!
And judging from the battle reports passed back. The strength he showed. I'm afraid it has surpassed the junior great magician. Far beyond people's imagination.
As the president of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi is enough to give everyone a strong weight in their hearts. Coupled with his status as a great magician, it will simply make people feel desperate.
In the history of Sainz Continent, there were occasional magicians engaged in business, and there were also businessmen who suddenly discovered that they had the talent of magicians and went to learn magic midway. However, no one has ever been able to reach such a high level in both aspects at the same time like Xu Yi. level.
The staff department has thought up countless ways to deal with Xu Yi, including secret assassination.
But now Xu Yi has shown strength at the level of a great magician. Immediately declaring his assassination almost impossible.
After becoming a great magician, he will master the space teleportation magic. As long as Xu Yi is not seeking death, it is almost impossible for him to be assassinated.
The only possibility is to invite a magister-level super magician to deal with him, so that he can be killed directly without being able to resist.
However, among the countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent, currently only the Camilla magician registered with the Magician Union of Lampali Kingdom is the only magician.
As we all know, Magister Camilla is the grandfather of Xu Yi's wife Steele, so of course it is impossible to attack Xu Yi.
Therefore, the news that Xu Yi became a great magician basically announced that the assassination of Xu Yi by the Sark Kingdom was a completely impossible task.
But this way. This put great restrictions on the staff's plan to deal with Xu Yi.
The Sac Kingdom General Staff Department has determined a fact through various studies on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. That is, Xu Yi's individual value is completely comparable to that of the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or even exceeds it.
If you want to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you must find a way to deal with Xu Yicai.
Of course, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not the focus. The focus is the Lampali Kingdom supported by Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. This is the real headache for the Sak Kingdom.
"Those losers in the Kingdom Council! If they hadn't interfered, we could have sent more people. How could we have been defeated by Xu Yi alone!" A young staff officer suddenly roared angrily. There was a sound.
The other staff officers in the room looked at him with strange expressions on their faces.
An equally young staff officer glanced sideways at the staff officer who spoke before, and snorted coldly: "Don't you understand yet? This Xu Yi is a great magician! No matter how many people we send out, what will happen?" Like? There’s nothing you can do about it, okay!”
"But... at least we can defend our territory. Now every time I think that the sacred territory that originally belonged to our kingdom has been occupied by the dirty elves, I feel very unhappy." The young staff officer suddenly snapped. A salute to Benjamin Decker. "Mr. Minister, I request the military department to send more troops to the southwest province to regain the territory that originally belonged to us!"
Benjamin Decker glanced at him and said calmly: "After the Kingdom Council signed the agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the elves, that territory no longer belongs to our kingdom. So in fact, strictly speaking, Xu Yi is in the spirit What the Turtle Legion said is absolutely correct. It’s not that they invaded our territory, but that we invaded the territory of the elves.”
"Impossible!" the young staff officer roared angrily: "I will never recognize this damn agreement! Since the founding of the Sark Kingdom, we have only occupied other people's territory and have never been invaded by others. Those damn gangs in the Kingdom Council This guy is completely tarnishing the glory of our military and betraying the entire Sark Kingdom!”
Benjamin Decker frowned slightly and waved his hand: "I understand your anger. As a royal person, I also feel ashamed of this agreement. But this is the decision of the Kingdom Council. We as Soldiers can only obey.”
"But… "
"No buts!" Benjamin Decker emphasized. "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!"
The young staff officer's face turned red, but he could only close his mouth tightly and did not dare to speak anymore.
Benjamin Decker had a sullen face, his eyes swept across the crowd in the room, and finally landed on Aiwe João, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd.
"Director Joao, how is the current research progress on military magic machines?"
The eyes of a group of people were all focused on Aiwei Joao. Everyone was a little confused as to why the minister would put the first question on him.
Aiwei Joao previously served as the chief of staff of the Greedy Wolf Legion. In terms of status, he is not even worse than Minister Dirk. Even if he is currently being stared at by so many people. Of course, there was no nervousness. He thought for a while and replied: "It should be said that there has been progress, but it is not enough. And the most critical problem is that we cannot accurately obtain the military magic machinery currently owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What level it has reached, so it is impossible to judge the level of the military magic machinery owned by King Lampali's army."
Benjamin Decker nodded and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that the Greedy Wolf Legion was sent over this time. I just wanted to force the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team to take action and take the opportunity to test their level, but I didn't expect that Xu Yi already had The powerful strength of the great magician, and we did not expect that he would take action personally, which made us unable to achieve our goal. "
All the staff members in the room looked at each other and saw the surprise in the other person's eyes.
It turns out that the military headquarters deliberately sent the Turtle Legion to the territory that had been sold to the elves by the Kingdom Council, not to protect the territory, but for another purpose.
But sending two thousand soldiers of the Spirit Turtle Legion to run over was just to force the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team to take action? Just to test their skills
This is too much to look down on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team...
Avi João looked in deep agreement with Minister Dirk's sigh, and also sighed softly: "Yes. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain accurate information about the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce." . It is difficult to speculate on the true strength of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s escort team, and thus judge the current level of the military magic machinery owned by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.”
Benjamin Decker frowned and thought for a while, then continued: "The only information we can get now is the information from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team when the civil strife broke out in the Principality of Standing a few months ago. But because the record is too simple, the new The Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts easily defeated their opponents every time, but it made it difficult for us to make accurate judgments."
"Well, the subordinates of the lords in the Principality of Standing are naturally not comparable to the soldiers of our Kingdom of Sac." Aiwei Joao nodded.
"But we are in great need of information about military magic machinery now." Benjamin Decker turned his head and looked at a middle-aged man in the corner who looked unremarkable at all. If he was thrown into the crowd, no one would notice him. Staff officer. "Yuri, you need to strengthen your side. Remember, we must obtain the information we need at all costs, do you understand what I mean?"
The middle-aged staff officer nodded: "Yes, Mr. Minister, I will work harder."
Benjamin Decker turned to look at Aiwe Joao again: "Director Joao, you should also pay more attention to the research you are responsible for. It is no exaggeration to say that we may control the fate of the entire Sac Kingdom. on the research you conducted.”
Many young staff officers in the staff room frowned and looked at Aiwei Joao with a somewhat unconvinced look.
The military magic machine research department led by this guy has been struggling for so long and has not produced any results so far. Why do the military and the Kingdom Council pay special attention to them and invest so much manpower and material resources in it
In the eyes of these young staff officers, although the military magic machines of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are indeed very powerful in rumors, they have never seen it with their own eyes. They do not think that just relying on a few military magic machines can determine the entire Sakova. The fate of the kingdom.
Aiwei Joao ignored the gazes of those young people and said slowly and solemnly: "Mr. Minister, I understand the accusations I bear better than anyone else. Please don't worry."
Benjamin Decker nodded, looked down at the map of the Sark Kingdom spread on the table, pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and clicked on the southwest corner of the map.
"I will propose to the military department to send the Turtle Legion* to station here to prevent the elves here from infiltrating and invading the kingdom. What do you think about this?"
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
It is certainly necessary to guard against these elves who break into the house, but sending the entire turtle army... is it too much of a fuss? (To be continued...)
