The meeting between Xu Yi and King Trutz is actually more of a symbolic meaning.
As the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi personally came forward to represent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's firm attitude in supporting the Kingdom of Luersun, so that King Trutz could rest assured and better concentrate on defending against the attack of the Candela Empire.
Of course, what actually works is the various supplies that are continuously transported from the Kingdom of Lampali, the Principality of Standing, and the Black Rice Wasteland.
With the powerful road transportation network and the new logistics network composed of freight magic locomotives, these materials can often be transported to Luersun where these materials are needed in just two to three days after they are produced. In the hands of Wang **, they have been able to maintain super combat effectiveness.
This is the most important reason why King Luersun was able to not only defeat the strong with the weak when facing the Candela Emperor's team, but also win consecutive battles.
King Trutz knew this very well, so even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not mention it himself, he had already taken the initiative to propose a series of preferential conditions to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, hoping to get enough support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce—the most important thing The most important thing is the supplies of various military magic machines.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not express its attitude publicly, in fact, Xu Yi, as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, had been expressing his support to King Trutz through private channels.
In addition to meeting various requests put forward by King Trutz, Xu Yi also took the initiative to propose the technology transfer of magic repeating crossbows to the Kingdom of Luersun.
This is really an unexpected surprise for King Trutz.
Of course, the Luersun Kingdom has received material support from all aspects. It’s not just King Trutz who knows this. The Candela Empire is not completely unaware.
At first. The Candela Empire doesn't care about this, because everyone feels that with the strong strength of the Candela Empire, it can definitely easily defeat the Luersun Kingdom. Even if other countries and forces support the Luersun Kingdom, it is meaningless and cannot affect Candela at all. The progress of the empire.
However, when the armies of the Candela Empire and the Luersun Kingdom fought several battles, and all ended with the defeat of the Candela Empire, the attitude of the Candela Empire immediately changed.
"Your Majesty the Queen. On behalf of the empire, I now formally issue a solemn warning to your country. Immediately stop all material support to the Kingdom of Luersun, otherwise the Imperial House will judge your country to be on the side of the Kingdom of Luersun and become an enemy of the empire. As for You don’t need me to remind you of the consequences of becoming an enemy of the empire, right?”
Sevini covered his mouth with his hands and yawned slightly. He glanced at Klein Sweeten, the ambassador of the Kandra Empire to the Kingdom of Lampali, who was standing in front of him with a serious face. He showed a relaxed smile and motioned for him to sit down first. Down.
"Mr. Ambassador, the so-called various material supports to the Kingdom of Luxun you just mentioned. As far as I know, they are just some very normal non-governmental material transactions between the two countries. This cannot be regarded as support to the Kingdom of Luxun. Military material support?”
Ambassador Sweeten snorted coldly: "Whether it is military material support or not. This is decided by the Imperial House of Representatives, not you."
"Oh?" Sevini blinked and said in surprise: "Ambassador Sweeten, do you mean to say that as long as the Candela Empire is willing, you can unilaterally judge our country without any evidence from us? The Kingdom of Parry has provided military supplies to the Kingdom of Luersun? If that’s the case, why did you come to warn me today? Aren’t you the ones who have the final say?”
Ambassador Sweeten coughed slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
"Ahem... Although it is ultimately up to the Imperial House of Representatives to decide, it would certainly be better if you could take the initiative to avoid such suspicion in the House of Representatives."
"But in the end, it's up to you to decide. It has nothing to do with whether we are really providing military material support to the Kingdom of Luersun, right?" Sevini asked in return.
Ambassador Sweeten coughed heavily, waved his hand, and said seriously: "In short, Her Majesty the Queen, since the empire is currently at war with the Kingdom of Luersun, any behavior that is beneficial to the Kingdom of Luersun will be punished by our side. It is regarded as a hostile act. The House of Representatives hopes that your country can stop sending all supplies to the Kingdom of Roursun. What I am saying is that no military supplies or civilian supplies can be sent to you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Well, I understand. But Mr. Ambassador, as I said just now, these are normal transactions between our private chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampali and the people in the Kingdom of Luersun. If I unilaterally force them to stop continuing these transactions, Who will bear the losses of these chambers of commerce? Our Lampali royal family or your Candela Empire?"
"Of course they are responsible for it," Ambassador Sweeten said bluntly. "These chambers of commerce dare to trade with the Luersun Kingdom when our Candela Empire is at war with the Luersun Kingdom. This is originally a provocation to the empire. The empire has been quite merciful without imposing punishment on them. Do they still want to continue? A decision to rebel against the Empire?"
After hearing these words, the smile that had always been on Sevini's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became cold.
"Mr. Ambassador, I must remind you. They are all chambers of commerce of our Kingdom of Lampali, not your Chamber of Commerce of the Kandra Empire. Even if punishment is imposed on them, it is a matter of our Kingdom of Lampali and has nothing to do with you."
Ambassador Sweeten was a little uncomfortable with Sevigny's sudden cold and tough words. After looking at her in surprise, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Queen, are you planning to ignore the warning issued by the Imperial Parliament?"
Sevini was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Mr. Ambassador, as far as I know, during this period, the countries that continue to maintain non-governmental trade with the Kingdom of Luersun are not just our Kingdom of Lampali, but also many surrounding countries. Excuse me Did the Candela Empire give them the same warning?"
"this… "
Ambassador Sweeten hesitated.
If you look carefully, you will find that there is a trace of anger, a trace of confusion and a trace of helplessness in the expression on his face.
As Sevini said, the Lampali Kingdom was not the only country that still maintained civil trade with the Lursun Kingdom during this period. There are also two kingdoms at the same level as the Kingdom of Luersun, the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Falk.
besides. There are also the Principality of Drake, the Principality of Standing, the Principality of Norton, the Principality of Mirando and other surrounding small principalities.
The Candela Empire also suffered defeat in the initial war. The same prohibitions were given to these countries and warnings were given to the Kingdom of Lulsun to continue trading.
Among them, the Duke of Norton readily agreed and immediately implemented it.
But except for the Principality of Norton, all other countries did not readily agree to the request made by the Candela Empire.
Although most countries were very polite when facing the Candela Empire, they were very ambiguous when faced with this warning and request.
Taking the Principality of Standing as an example, the Congress representing the Principality of Standing stated that it would conduct a detailed study of the warning issued by the Candela Empire and hold a parliamentary meeting to discuss and resolve. However, a full week has passed since the Candela Empire issued a warning to the Principality of Standing. . The reply given by the Congress of the Principality of Standing is still under discussion and no final decision has been reached.
During this period, on the road from the Principality of Standing to the Kingdom of Luersun, countless large freight magic locomotives carrying large amounts of materials were still pouring into the Kingdom of Luersun.
Of course, compared to these small principalities, the three countries that received the most attention from the Kandra Empire were the Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Sark, and the Kingdom of Falk.
However, the warning issued by the Candela Empire to the Sark Kingdom fell flat and received no response at all.
The Falk Kingdom rejected the request very simply, claiming that the Kandra Empire had no right to interfere with the normal trade between the Falk Kingdom and the Luersun Kingdom.
This attitude did not go against the expectations of the Kandra Empire Council, because the Falk Kingdom was close to the Malo Empire and had always been closer to the Malo Empire. Naturally, there is no dealing with the Candela Empire.
So the only thing left is the Lampali Kingdom ruled by Her Majesty the Queen.
The Kingdom of Lampali is close to the Kingdom of Luersun. It is extremely convenient to support the Luersun Kingdom.
Moreover, according to intelligence, the Lampali Kingdom's national power has increased significantly in recent years, and has even overtaken the Sark Kingdom, which had previously suppressed them for hundreds of years, and has become the most powerful among these small countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent. nation.
If the Lampali Kingdom strongly supports the Luersun Kingdom, it will definitely make the Candela Empire's conquest of the Luersun Kingdom more difficult.
So this time the Kandra Empire sent its ambassador to the Kingdom of Lampali, Klein Sweeten, to pay a solemn visit to Queen Sevini, and personally presented the warning of the Kandra Empire House to her face to face, hoping to make her understand the seriousness of this matter, and The Candela Empire takes this matter seriously.
However, Ambassador Sweeten did not expect that Queen Sevigny would adopt such an ambiguous attitude. Not only did she keep pushing the envelope, she also asked meaningfully about the attitudes of other surrounding countries.
Ambassador Sweeten did not feel that he could hide this matter from Queen Sevigny, but it would not be helpful to his mission if no other country agreed. After hesitating for a moment, he responded in a deep voice: "The Empire has of course also issued a solemn warning to other countries that do this."
"What is the attitude of other countries?" Sevigny asked again.
Ambassador Sweeten snorted coldly and replied: "This is the request of our Candela Empire. Who dares to have any objections?"
Sevini pursed his lips and smiled: "But Mr. Ambassador, as far as I know, so far, no country has agreed to the request made by the Candela Empire."
Ambassador Sweeten's face turned slightly red, then turned serious.
"If they dare to go against the will of the empire on this matter, they will definitely be punished by the empire in the future!"
"Oh?" Sevini let out a crisp laugh and looked at Ambassador Sweeten with a smile. "But Mr. Ambassador, the one that has violated the will of the Candela Empire the most is the Rulson Kingdom. Have they been punished by the Empire?"
Ambassador Sweeten's expression suddenly suffocated.
Seeing the meaningful smile on Sevini's face, he understood instantly.
His meeting today was destined to be fruitless, because not only did the empire not show any momentum to easily crush it in the war with the Luersun Kingdom, it was even easily defeated several times by the Luersun Kingdom.
Under the influence of this record, the empire's deterrent effect on these small countries has obviously been seriously affected.
Or to put it more seriously, if the Luersun Kingdom cannot be solved, the empire's prestige in the entire Sainz continent will be in crisis.
This is even countless times more serious than the failure in the battle with the Luersun Kingdom. (To be continued...)
