Chapter 557: The so-called expropriation order
When controlling the high-level members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce, Yu Fei tried to simplify the control process as much as possible to prevent himself from becoming confused. But even the simplified mind control, after two years of subtle control, made those members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce extremely loyal to Yu Fei.
Even as soon as Yu Fei walked to the door of the Lord's Mansion, he was already noticed by the high-ranking members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce, and they quickly came to the door to greet their lord under the leadership of the old leader.
Although Yu Fei was dressed in a black robe and hood, he couldn't see his appearance at all, but through the spiritual connection, they clearly knew that this mysterious person was the owner of himself and others, Lord Earl Oberline, who had disappeared for nearly two years.
"Greetings, Lord Count!" Yu Fei stepped forward, and the members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce greeted him together. Yu Fei was unmoved, and passed the members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce who had lowered their heads, entered the hall of the Lord's Palace, and made it to the top seat.
The members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce rushed in, standing in several rows in the hall, each with their heads bowed in a respectful gesture.
After a long time, Yu Fei spoke. "President Stanley, tell me about the situation in the realm during this time. Also, what is the Expropriation Order? ”
Chairman Stanny, who was apprehensive because of Yu Fei's long silence, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stepped forward to narrate. With his narration, Yu Fei gradually understood the situation of Oberline's leadership in the past two years.
Although Yu Fei, the lord, has been absent, the ability of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce is still very good, and he can easily maintain the operation of the territory. Like the Empire's tax collectors, the Inspector has made all the arrivals of the Inspectors have been dealt with by President Stanley.
When Yu Fei first came to smuggle enchanted equipment through Oberlinen. Exchanged for the magic crystal and the magic core, and transported back to the Far North Sea. Later. When he raised Yorick to take the throne of the Shadow Kingdom. The matter was left to the Shadow Kingdom, but Port Oberline was still a transit point.
As a result, Oberline's economic situation has developed well in the past two years. Fortunately, the previous undead plague did not affect here, and the Stanley Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money with the enchanted equipment transported by the Night Elves on a large scale at that time.
Of course, Yu Fei didn't care much about the income from this small piece of territory, and President Stanny was always excited to report that the assets of the Chamber of Commerce had increased tenfold in the past two years, and Yu Fei was still unmoved.
Ultimately. President Stanley, who noticed that his master didn't seem to be interested in this matter, finally turned his attention to the edict. After he said and explained, Yu Fei understood what this expropriation order was.
It turned out that this conquest order was caused by the orcs. After conquering the western part of the Canaanite Empire, the new orcs turned northeast and entered the hinterland of the Anthropocene realm.
At first, the orcs only bullied those kingdoms, but after defeating the three kingdoms and finding that the other human nations did not react much, they shifted their focus to the empire.
In fact, this can't blame the human countries for not being united, they have just recovered from the undead natural disaster, in addition to the three major empires, which country has the ability to support other countries? Besides. As one of the three major empires of mankind, the Canaan Empire suffered a great loss at the hands of the orcs, and those kingdoms could not help it.
The rampant orcs chose to go to war with both the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire. But to their surprise. In these two empires, they suffered a completely different situation than they had fought against the Canaanite Empire.
The reason why the new orcs were able to quickly conquer one-third of the territory of the Canaan Empire was because the Canaan Empire really did not expect that the orc race would be able to cross the endless jungle and reach the east of the Warcraft Mountain Range; The second is that the center of gravity of the Canaan Empire at that time was temporarily placed in the south, and it wanted to solve the problem of the invasion of the Sea Clan, so it was very embarrassed under the attack of the orcs.
And the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire are not the same. First of all, they don't have such an external threat as the Sea Clan; Secondly, although the new orcs attacked quickly, taking a third of the territory of the Canaanite Empire with lightning speed, they slowed down when they conquered those human kingdoms later.
In this way, the two empires were given time to prepare.
At this critical juncture, the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire put aside their old suspicions and decided to unite against the Orc invasion. Later, the Canaan Empire also joined in, and although the Orcs did not continue to attack the Canaan Empire, it was impossible for the Canaan Empire to sit idly by and ignore the territories it had fallen.
As the first empire to be at war with the orcs, the Canaanite Empire had some understanding of the strength of the orcs, and shared this knowledge with the other two empires at no cost.
After borrowing the information of the Canaan Empire, the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire made some targeted arrangements, which seriously frustrated the offensive of the orcs.
This so-called targeted arrangement is actually to recruit a large number of mages and form a group of mages to fight with the army. When the Canaan Empire fought against the orcs, it found that it was difficult for ordinary human armies to compete with orc warriors, and only the mage regiment could bring good damage to orc warriors.
After analysis, the Canaan Empire found that although the strength of the original orc race had been greatly improved and recorded in the classics, they didn't know what to do with magic. Since he doesn't know magic, he naturally doesn't have the means to defend against magic, so the ability of the magician can be fully reflected.
In fact, as a new type of empire, the Canaan Empire has no more mages than the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire. Therefore, when these two empires gathered a large number of mages, they really resisted the attack of the orcs, and even managed to keep the enemy out of the country.
At the time when the form was at its best, the three major human empires even shouted the slogan of chasing to the west of the Demon Beast Mountain Range to completely exterminate the orc race after repelling the orcs. It's a pity that this advantage didn't last long.
Soon, as some of the orcs' strange abilities were displayed, the armies of the three empires were defeated one after another.
A mysterious warrior who can quietly appear in the camp of the post-mage group and then roll up a huge storm; a mysterious wizard who can cast strange spells so that some orcs will not be harmed in the slightest under any attack; and all sorts of other bizarre things that make the empire. The army suffered.
According to President Stanley's account, Yu Fei was not surprised to discover that the strange abilities of the orcs were such as healing guards.
When the armies of the three empires were defeated and retreated, and the orcs pressed their troops to the city step by step, mankind discovered that the orcs who were not good at attacking cities in the classics actually showed great ability in siege.
Strange machines that resemble catapults, but after throwing boulders, they can burn with long-lasting flames and continue to crumble walls; A wolf knight who can easily slash the city wall to pieces despite being just clinging to a scimitar; and the Minotaur who can easily break through the gates with a huge totem pole, making the fortified city that humans are proud of as fragile in front of the orcs.
The defeat was like a mountain. The Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire almost fell into the same situation as the Canaanite Empire – if it weren't for the many families in the country who rose up to fight.
For example, within the Holy Lion Empire, members of the "Saint" family have gone to war, and in addition to the private army, they have also contributed a large number of mages. Within the Botswana Empire, those powerful families also contributed their strength to resist the orcs.
The expropriation order is a product of this situation. In addition to the nobles and nobles in the empire, the targets of the conquest are those mages who have not participated in the war before.
Coincidentally, Yu Fei's disguised identity as Count Oberline was not only a small nobleman, but also a powerful mage, and the conquest order of the Holy Lion Empire was naturally sent to the Oberline Territory.
This kind of wartime order is not comparable to the inspection of the tax officer, and the Stanley Chamber of Commerce simply cannot suppress it. Fortunately, the St. Childs stepped in to solve the problem, so that Oberline could cope with the first conquest order. But just yesterday, the second round of the Empire's conquest order was issued, and the name of Count Oberline was prominently listed. (To be continued......)
