Chapter 149: Air supremacy

It turns out that the reason why the natives of the island imagine their swords after Leslie and the others land on the island is completely due to the way they choose to do so.

This time, Xu Yi showed his sincerity as a businessman, using white flour and other daily necessities urgently needed by the islanders, and soon won the recognition of the islanders, and easily reached a real dialogue and exchange with them.

The first phase of the whole thing went smoothly, and through Guò's contact with the residents of the village near the coast and a few more villages, Xu also had a preliminary understanding of the island.

As Leslie expected, most of the island's inhabitants drifted from the continent of Sainz a long time ago.

According to the records handed down on the island, the earliest people even crossed the ocean to this huge island when the elves still ruled the entire Sainz continent, and the people who continued to drift over gradually settled on this island and multiplied, forming the main group of people on this island.

It is said that the main population is due to the fact that in addition to the humans who have drifted from the continent of Sainz, there are some real natives on this island.

These natives are said to have lived on the island since the beginning, and they have no idea what the Sainz continent is, and they have never left the island.

Although Xu Yi is a little skeptical of this statement, for all the people on the island, in fact, they have lived on this island for so many years, and there is not much difference between them.

Of course, these questions are not so important to Xu Yi.

He values the value of the island itself, as well as the value of the various resources it contains.

No matter who lives on the island, it doesn't really matter.

After suing Sù Lesley, his task was to control the island as much as possible. And promised to give Leslie the necessary support. Xu also left behind a magic airship to survey the entire island and the surrounding waters. At the same time, after continuing to leave the escort fleet under Leslie's command, Xu Yi, Akali and the others returned to the Sainz continent on another magic airship.

The speed of the magic airship is naturally far faster than that of a frigate, and when flying at full speed in the sky, it can even reach a super-fast speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

The distance between this island and the southern coast of the Candela Empire is about 700 kilometers, and Xu Yi and his party set off from the island in the early morning in a magic airship, and they were already able to see the coastline of the Sainz continent in the afternoon.

This place is very close to the Yarra Harbor opened by the Candela Imperial Navy's New Flying Chamber, but Xu Yi didn't bother anymore, and Zhi directly commanded the magic airship to fly in the direction of the Ruerson Kingdom.

Elder Wentini of the Aysara tribe sent a message half a month ago. It is said that the elven town of their tribe has been built, and Xu Yi is invited to visit.

It just so happened that Steele was a guest in the Eshara tribe during this time to shoot the illusion film, and Xu Yi planned to take advantage of the opportunity to pass by when he returned to the city.

Raya Harbor is more than 1,500 kilometers away from Nissi Harbor in a straight line, and even with the super-speed of the magic airship, it took nearly a day to reach it.

At noon the next day, the magic airship carried Xu Yi and his party to the cooperative port of the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has now become the most prosperous port in the Ruerson Kingdom and even in the southern part of the entire Sainz Continent - Nissi Port.

Looking down at the newly expanded port of seventeen docks filled with all kinds of sea vessels, including the three new flying chamber transport fleet's latest batch of large cargo magic steamers, Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

When we first came to Nissi, this port was just a small wharf not much different from a small fishing village. Now because of the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, driven by the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It has become one of the trade hubs between the Kingdom of Ruersun and the Duchy of Staten, and has become extremely prosperous, turning Nissi City, which is not famous in the Kingdom of Ruersun, into a very famous port city in the surrounding countries.

It can be seen from the sky that this port city has expanded dozens of times compared to when Xu Yi first came here, and there are crowds of people everywhere, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere, which is almost not inferior to Bangta City.

When the magic airship flew over from the sea, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

However, after looking up and seeing the magic airship, except for a few people, not too many people were surprised.

The magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has become a very famous new product in nearby countries, and it has long attracted a lot of attention.

Countless people have asked the New Flying Chamber of Commerce when the official sale of magic airships will begin, but they have all been rejected by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that it has not been fully developed.

However, this did not stop people from taking an interest in the magic airship, and many newspapers even once carried out a concentrated report on the magic airship, saying that if the magic airship can be popularized in the surrounding countries like the magic locomotive, it will change everyone's lives, and may even change the situation in all the surrounding countries.

Of course, Xu Yi knew very well what the latter sentence meant, because even His Majesty King Trutz of the Ruerson Kingdom had asked Xu Yi many times about the magic airship, and hoped to be able to book some in advance.

What he is worried about is actually a very simple truth -- air supremacy.

In the entire history of the Sainz Continent, in addition to those magicians who have far more power than ordinary people, the only ones that can soar in the sky are the magic warships that the elves once used.

Magicians exist in every country, but magic warships have not appeared since the demise of the elves.

In the previous wars of various countries on this continent, the control of air supremacy did not make much sense, because it completely depended on the strength of the mages invested by both sides.

And in this country of the same level, the strength of magicians is not too much, and the number of magicians is so rare that it is actually difficult to really affect the victory or defeat of all wars. Say what to control zhì empty power. It's really a very nonsensical thing.

But the appearance of the new flying chamber of commerce magic airship. But several surrounding countries have to pay attention to this matter.

Unlike magicians, according to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, once the magic airship is successfully developed, it can enter mass production!

What is the concept of mass production?

This means that as long as you have the money, you can theoretically even equip yourself with an unlimited amount of magic airships!

And according to the information revealed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, this magic airship can also be equipped with military magic machinery for long-range strikes such as magic cannons, magic rockets, etc.

To put it simply, this magic airship can be used as a fortress of artillery fire in the air.

Maybe it's not as flexible as a magician. It is not as powerful and terrifying as those really powerful archmages and magisters, but compared to ordinary philosopher's stones, it undoubtedly has more powerful lethality, and compared to archmages and magisters, it has a very obvious numerical advantage.

What's more, even if the magic airship is damaged, you can buy another one, and if the archmage and mage are damaged, it will be an irreparable loss.

Taking the Ruerson Kingdom as an example, there are currently only seven great mages in the entire kingdom, and there is not even a single mage. And how can it be compared to the theoretically endless magic airship?

And once the vital air supremacy is mastered, it is impossible for the armies of various countries to carry out real strikes against high-altitude targets at the present time. Magic airships are almost the same as invincible!

Therefore, the analysis in those newspapers that the magic airship has the potential to change the situation in all the surrounding countries is not exaggerated at all.

Xu Yi can fully imagine what an astonishing rush it will cause once the New Flying Chamber of Commerce officially announces the mass production of the magic airship.

"I wonder what King Trutz would think if he knew that I had already booked a hundred magic airships for the Lampari Kingdom in advance?"

Xu Yi looked at the crowd looking up diagonally, and thought to himself that if it was a thing flying above his head all day long that he couldn't reach, couldn't hit, and had amazing lethality, he would definitely have trouble sleeping.

From this, it can be seen that King Trutz will definitely do something.

Just as he was thinking about King Trutz's possible response, the magic airship shook slightly, but it stopped on the deck of a large cargo magic ship owned by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the dock.

As soon as the hatch opened, Neval, the commander of the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, greeted him.

Seeing Xu Yi coming out of it, Neval was stunned for a moment.

"Lord, why are you here? I thought it was the end of the fixed cruise, and I came here to resupply. ”

"That's right, the magic crystals on the airship are running out, you can arrange some. Xu Yi commanded.

"Hmm. Neval turned his head and gave an order to his subordinates, who immediately ran to make arrangements.

Xu Yi glanced at the crowd around him, waved his hand and motioned for them to continue their work, and asked Neval, "How was the harvest this time?"

Neval replied with a smile, "If you go back to the elder, this transportation will be very smooth. We shipped goods from the Chamber of Commerce with a total value of 700,000 gold coins at one time, and they were robbed on the first day of our arrival. Then according to your orders, now these three ships are all filled with zinc ore, and it only cost us 300,000 gold coins. Once you come and go, you can earn 400,000 gold coins. ”

"Well, well done. Xu Yi nodded in appreciation. "But Neval, I'm afraid this good day won't be too long. According to the collected numbers, the demand for domestic magic machinery within the Ruerson Kingdom has become saturated, and it may be difficult to rush in the future. The profit may drop with each trip in the future, so you have to be prepared. ”

Neval's face changed slightly: "Then what should I do?" Lord, we have just developed this trade route to maturity, and this will not work soon, it will inevitably be too fast." ”

"I'm just talking about this trend, not that it's going to be saturated right away. But this is something that is sure to happen, so we have to think about how to fix it in advance. ”

Neval frowned and thought for a long time, looked at Xu Yi, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Lord, you must have a way, right?"

Xu Yi smiled: "Of course, otherwise I will talk nonsense with you for a long time." ”

"That'...... How to solve it?"

"Quite simply, to the east. (To be continued......)
