Generally speaking, if a caravan is robbed within the territory of the Kandra Empire, or even an accident such as a direct group annihilation, according to the process, it will be reported to the Kandra Empire official for follow-up processing.
If this caravan belongs to the Chamber of Commerce under the control of the Candela Empire, the procedure is very simple. First, report it, and then decide whether to pursue it or not, or how intense the investigation should be, depending on the official mood of the Candela Empire.
And if this caravan belongs to a chamber of commerce outside the Candela Empire, the situation will be slightly more complicated.
If the chamber of commerce to which it belongs comes from a country that is not very powerful and is also a not-so-famous chamber of commerce, then the final result will probably be that the attack on the caravan can only be ignored, and the chamber of commerce to which it belongs can only deal with it itself. Accept bad luck.
If you join a chamber of commerce with a strong background, the Candela Empire official will decide the degree of handling depending on the severity of the incident and the attitude of the chamber of commerce or simply the country behind it.
For example, if this caravan comes from the Maro Empire, and also comes from one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Maro Empire, and has an official background from the Maro Empire, then once such an incident occurs within the Kandra Empire, even if the Maro Empire The relationship with the Candela Empire has not been harmonious at all. For the sake of diplomacy, the Candela Empire officials will definitely conduct a thorough investigation on this matter and give the Malo Empire a complete explanation.
However, the situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce caravan is quite special.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce comes from the Principality of Standing. The Principality of Standing is a completely inconspicuous small country among all the countries on the entire Sainz continent. Naturally, it is impossible for the country's background to bring any pressure to the official Kandra Empire.
However, this caravan happened to belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now a very special chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz continent, relying on extremely special magic machinery. Or rather, a military magic machine. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has used the past few years to gain the attention of almost all countries on this continent.
Although the Candela Empire does not have a harmonious relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the surface. But in fact, secret cooperation is still taking place in many aspects.
Therefore, in fact, the officials of the Candela Empire attach great importance to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and are also more concerned about the various activities of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire.
But this time, an entire caravan belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was robbed by bandits and the entire army was wiped out. This is not an ordinary incident.
What's more, the goods transported by this caravan are a batch of farmland magic machinery sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Northeastern Province. It is a new batch of goods ordered by the Northeastern Province to further promote mechanical planting within the province, which is of great significance.
Now the caravan was suddenly attacked, all its personnel were killed, and all kinds of farmland magic machinery with a total value of more than 200,000 gold coins disappeared. Naturally, it caused a great shock.
After the incident, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce office in Wimbledon immediately reported it to the official office of the Candela Empire and strongly demanded a thorough investigation of the murderer. Not only should the batch of farmland magic machinery be recovered, but the arrogant bandits should also be severely punished.
The Candela Empire officials also attached great importance to this matter, and immediately ordered the Tagana Provincial Governor's Office and the Laluer Town Governor's Office to assist in investigating the matter.
However, after a week of investigation, the town of Laluer even sent a garrison of 200 people to cooperate with a group of mercenaries to conduct searches in the Sunset Mountains, but still no results were found.
As a result, the Candela Empire officials were forced to announce that the bandits had escaped from the Sunset Mountains and could only be traced later.
As long as you are not a fool. Everyone knows that this sentence means that the Candela Empire officials have given up on the pursuit, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can only admit that it is unlucky.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not intend to give up. Instead, they continued to send notices urging the investigation through various channels to the official representatives of the Candela Empire, namely the Governor's Palace of Tagana Province and the Town of Laluer Town, and stated that they would never allow this matter to just go unnoticed. .
Such an attitude naturally aroused dissatisfaction with the Tagana Provincial Governor's Office and the Laluer Town Governor's Office. Although on the surface they still stated that they would work hard to trace, in fact they directly gave up any pursuit.
When the people and business travelers in the small town of Laluer discussed this matter, they couldn't help but laugh at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This continent is full of bandits. Even if it is as powerful as the Candela Empire, it is impossible to track down every robbery incident.
The official response of the Candela Empire to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is enough, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still insists on being so unrelenting, which is simply ungrateful.
"Hey, do you think this New Flying Chamber of Commerce takes itself too seriously? Didn't it just make some money with new things like that magic machine? Do you really think it can be on an equal footing with our Candela Empire? "The largest tavern in the town of Laluer was filled with a large number of the king's merchants and mercenaries. One of the rough mercenaries was drinking heavily while making an extremely mocking laugh.
Hearing his words, the surrounding drinkers burst into laughter.
Most of the people here have long-term business travel experience, and are already familiar with encountering bandit attacks, so they don't think it is a big deal at all.
Not to mention the Candela Empire, even if any part of this continent is attacked by bandits, the key is to take care of your own life as soon as possible. As for relying on the power of the local country to hunt down the bandits and recover the lost goods, that can only It can only happen when you are lucky.
Therefore, the vast majority of people here are convinced that the best thing for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to do is to consider themselves unlucky and stop harassing the official officials of the Candela Empire.
Otherwise, if those big gentlemen are displeased, the safety of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's caravans in the territory of the Candela Empire will be even less guaranteed in the future.
"Tch, they are just a group of upstarts from a small place like the Principality of Standing. Of course they have no vision." Another mercenary laughed loudly. When he realized that he had attracted everyone's attention, he became mysterious again. "I heard that this is not the only caravan that has been attacked by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce recently. In addition to here, there have been three caravans from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that have been attacked in our Candela Empire in the past month alone. All the people were killed and no goods were left.”
The originally noisy sound in the tavern suddenly became much quieter. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then several other people spoke up to prove the rumors about the mercenary.
"Yes, I also heard that something happened in other countries. It all happened in the past month or two."
"Well, I also heard that the offices of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in two places were attacked some time ago. It is said that the inspections were also heavy."
"Not only that, I also know that even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's maritime fleet was attacked, and the losses were even more exaggerated."
"No way. The fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce may not even be able to defeat the fleet of our Candela Empire Navy. Who can defeat them at sea?"
"I don't know, but I heard that a very powerful magician took action himself. No matter how strong the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's fleet is, it will be of no use if it encounters a great magician... Oh, not to mention the great magician, even if it encounters high-level magicians Bar?"
"Well, that's right..."
…
The tavern instantly fell into a lively discussion.
For almost all chambers of commerce on the mainland, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be said to be a miracle.
This previously inconspicuous small chamber of commerce made its fortune in the Kingdom of Lampali. In just over ten years, it has developed into a well-known large chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz continent, and it also controls all the countries. The military magic machinery has become very important on the entire continent.
In this process, it has encountered almost no difficulties and has been developing very smoothly.
This makes other chambers of commerce envious, but also deeply jealous.
Of course, they had no ability to do anything to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but when they heard that something had happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they inevitably felt a little gloating in their hearts.
"Sigh... Actually, this isn't a good thing, is it?" A calm middle-aged man's voice suddenly rang out. "Even if a famous chamber of commerce like Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is robbed, the big men will not care. If small businessmen like us are robbed, no one will care whether they live or die."
Hearing this voice, the tavern instantly became quiet.
Less than half of the people in the tavern were businessmen, and the other half were mercenaries. They were all likely to deal with bandits on the road.
Mercenaries may also hope that meeting bandits can help them earn some extra money, but merchants don't want to meet damned bandits at all.
What happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce certainly allowed them to satisfy their gloating thoughts, but thinking about the official attitude of the empire towards bandits, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Yes, even big chambers of commerce like Xinfei Chamber of Commerce don’t care about it. Who cares about small businessmen like them
Just as the tavern fell into an unspeakable silence, suddenly a shadow came from outside and fell in through the door and window of the tavern, suddenly turning the environment in the tavern into darkness.
Everyone turned around and looked outside in astonishment, and immediately let out an exclamation of surprise at the same time.
In the sky outside the tavern, huge black clouds slowly floated by, but they were obviously very low to the ground and looked very powerful.
Some mercenaries with better eyesight took a closer look and found that the things floating in the sky were not black clouds, but huge steel monsters. They couldn't help but open their mouths in shock.
"By God! What on earth are these?"
A mercenary stared at the sky for a while and suddenly shouted loudly.
"I know! These are magic airships! They are magic airships built by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce!"
Everyone was suddenly startled.
The magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce? Could it be that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sent someone here? (To be continued...)
