While the army of the Lampari Kingdom strongly defeated the powerful defense line built by the Maro Empire and advanced into the interior of the Maro Empire with the steps that made countless people on this continent fearful, the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Stantin was a different scene.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the protagonist of one of the two camps, the disturbances from the outside world and the tense wars taking place in various places on the mainland do not seem to have had much impact on the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because it is the New Year's stage, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still decided to take a holiday more than a week ago as usual, so that the main base is not as busy as it is on weekdays, and even the roar of the magic machine tools in the various factory workshops is much quieter.

However, this does not mean that the new flying chamber of commerce is really not affected in any way.

As the protagonist of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's camp, and also the main factor in providing all kinds of military magic machines to partner countries, assisting them in defeating the attacks of the two imperial camps, and even helping the Lampari Kingdom to complete the counterattack, and now even being able to invade the Maro Empire, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly plays the most crucial role in this war that has swept the entire continent.

Not to mention anything else, just to provide the Lampari Kingdom with enough military magic machinery and related ammunition supplies, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce directly built a new production base specializing in the production of military magic machinery within the last year.

The new base was built at the beginning of last year, and then as the situation on the continent of Sainz gradually deteriorated and eventually turned into a full-scale war, this new base can be said to be in full swing in the second half of last year, and it has been vigorously manufacturing all kinds of military magic machines all the time.

It is precisely because of Xu Yi's super foresight the year before last. This allowed the strategic partners of the Lampari Kingdom, the Ruerson Kingdom, the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and other Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to have enough supplies of military magic machinery. This gives them the ability to withstand the powerful attacks of the two empires on a frontal battlefield.

And after Xu Yi personally set up a game, he attracted Raduka Magister and O'Fararian Magister. After successfully testing the newly developed all-encompassing anti-magic field specifically for enemy mages, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce solved one of the most serious problems for these strategic partners - the threat of the Magister.

This was vividly reflected in the previous battles between the Lampari Kingdom and the Marlowe coalition army.

The Maro Empire directly killed one Magus in the Battle of the Gresius Mountains, and then lost two Magus in one breath in the border defense battle, which is equivalent to telling everyone that the Magus is no longer the invincible representative in people's minds, and no longer has the powerful ability to decide the outcome of the battle.

In other words, after the Lampari Kingdom killed three mages from the Maro Empire in these two battles. This made everyone understand that only the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could determine the outcome of the war.

Ordinary mages can't do this, not even the most powerful mages!

In order to continue to strengthen this understanding in people's hearts, although the annual leave of other departments of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still on schedule this year, the departments related to military magic machinery have been forced to work overtime for the New Year for the first time in history.

Of course, because the New Year's overtime is more special, the Chamber of Commerce offers three times the usual salary for the workers who are forced to work overtime, so the workers who stay to work overtime are all happy.

Besides, now that there are wars going on everywhere else on the continent, it is better to stay in the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which is currently the safest on the entire continent, than to risk the road.

There are even many employees in other departments who are reluctant to leave after the holidays. Directly chose to stay.

In addition, many employees brought their families who were not originally in the Principality of Stantin to the Principality of Stantin, and decided to settle here.

Of course, Xu Yi is very welcome to this.

One of his biggest grievances about Sainz is the serious food problem. As a result, the population is extremely scarce compared to Earth, especially the Celestial Empire, making it difficult for the New Flying Chamber to recruit enough people for development.

If more and more people settle in the Principality of Stantin, he can use the resources of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to train a large number of suitable talents for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce nearby.

In the long run, it is all advantageous.

He even wanted to grab a bunch of people and stuff them into the production base of military magic machinery right now, and work hard for a large number of orders for military magic machinery from various countries, including the Kingdom of Lampari.

However, this is unrealistic.

The power of military magic machinery is huge, and the corresponding requirements are also extremely high.

In particular, the all-round anti-magic field device that is most urgently needed on the battlefield at present, especially for magicians, cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, and requires a lot of people who have a deep understanding of magic, at least a deep understanding of the magic array, to be eligible to participate.

This kind of talent cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.

Xu also directly grabbed a group of graduates from the first batch of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and while training and working, they could not meet the current large demand, and where could they find enough talents in this area for a while.

Every time he thought of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the proportion of magicians on the Sainz continent is extremely low, if you talk about the absolute number, it will exceed 100,000, which is not a small number at all.

If only half of these 100,000 or so magicians could ...... No, even if only one-third, or even one-fourth or even one-fifth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce works, he will not worry about talent all day long.

And among these magicians, the most regrettable for Xu Yi were the three magicians who fell in the previous battle with the army of the Lampari Kingdom.

In Xu Yi's opinion, as the magician with the deepest understanding of magic and the most powerful magic strength on the Sainz continent, they only need to be trained a little to make them have a very big role in promoting the field of magic industry.

The fall of the three Magisters is the fall of the three top talents for Xu Yi.

When he received the news before, Xu Yi didn't say anything, but he was extremely sad in his heart.

If these three Magi hadn't fallen in what Xu Yi saw as a meaningless war. It's about contributing to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. That would definitely make the magic industry grow faster. It also allows Xu Yi's ideals to go further.

Therefore, even though the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce outside Metro City was fully capable of killing the O'Farian Magister and the Raduca Magister, Xu Yi still took a certain risk and let them go.

What he did was to protect high-end talents like Magisters.

However...... The paradox is that Xu Yi must make the side represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce show a powerful ability to knock the Magister out of the battlefield in order for others to face this point.

So in the end, there were still magisters who fell, and three of them fell at a time.

Xu Yi was deeply saddened by this, but he was helpless.

"Well, it would be nice if everyone could concentrate on development. It's a pity......" thought of this. Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, smiled wryly and shook his head gently.

"Lord, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with us?" Lawns, the head of the military magic machinery department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who was accompanying Xu Yi, saw the strange expression on Xu Yi's face and hurriedly asked.

"No, I just watched the military magic machines being sent out of the door one by one, thinking that they were going to be sent to the armies everywhere and burying the lives of countless people with their own hands, and I couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in my heart. Xu Yi shook his head and said.

This time, the expression on Lawr's face became very strange.

Why did the elder suddenly become sentimental?

Could it be that the adult is actually a very sensitive and delicate person?

How is this possible......

The chaotic thoughts swirling in his heart did not affect Lawrence with a smile on his face: "Lord, this is also something that cannot be helped. We never thought about who we were going to conquer. But those guys from the two empires won't. If we don't teach them a good lesson, we will never have peace. ”

Xu Yi smiled. Knowing that Lawrence had misunderstood, he didn't bother to explain, waved his hand and said, "It's just a momentary emotion, and it doesn't affect my mood." Alright, you're done here, you're doing a great job. Continue to maintain this efficiency and try not to make any mistakes. This year is likely to be the most important year for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even for the entire Sainz Continent. And the final result is actually determined by the department you are responsible for. So ......"

Xu Yi patted Lawnes on the shoulder vigorously, stared into his eyes, and said, "You have a lot of courage, do you have the confidence to do a good job?"

Lawrence immediately replied proudly, "Please rest assured, Lord, I promise nothing will go wrong here!"

"Good. Xu Yi patted Lawrence on the shoulder again and motioned for him to go back to work, while he and several other high-ranking officials of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, who had come to inspect the military magic machinery manufacturing base on the first day of the new year, left.

The group returned to the conference hall of the office building of the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and after taking their seats, Sebas, the treasurer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xu Yi.

"Your Excellency, this is the Chamber of Commerce's preliminary budget for this year. Judging by the current estimates...... I'm afraid something is not good. The expression on Sebas's face was grim.

This expression was extremely rare on his face.

Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been in an unusually good financial position since its establishment, the expression on Sebas's face always looks very relaxed.

However, now, the grim expression on his face made him very serious, so much so that Xu Yi couldn't help but sit up a little straighter after hearing this, and then picked up the document.

In this budget document for this year, Sebas detailed the various funds that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce may use this year, and finally came to a general conclusion.

This conclusion is indeed enough to make Sebas show such a grim face, because according to this conclusion, according to the various plans and investments scheduled by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce this year, if there are no obvious changes or explosive returns, then the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will have a serious deficit in the financial situation for the whole year this year.

This deficit is even between 20 million and 40 million gold coins!

In the year-end financial report at the end of last year, the annual net profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fell from nearly 200 million gold coins in the same period of the previous year to less than 50 million gold coins, which is not a big difference.

However, this year, according to Sebas's projections, there will even be a deficit!

This is the first time that this has happened in the more than 20 years since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the first time that there has been a deficit, it is not a small amount.

It's no wonder that Sebas has such a grim look, after all, he is the treasurer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he is the person who has the most direct access to these numbers.

And he knows best what the possible deficit is.

"Lord, with all due respect. Seeing that Xu Yi read the entire report and raised his head again, Sebas said unusually seriously: "We should immediately stop the gratuitous assistance to the Lampari Kingdom and other countries. Otherwise, if it continues like this, it won't take two years, and our chamber of commerce will go bankrupt directly due to a serious financial burden!" (To be continued......
