Chapter 97: War

Staying at the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and discussing some ideas with Freya on promoting the space program, and then getting together with some old friends, Xu Yi left the Sainz continent again.

After all, from the time he returned to the Sainz continent, saw the dying Heinze, and then he left, it only took a month and a half in total, which can be described as a hurry.

After receiving the news that Xu Yi boarded the magic airship and left the Sainz continent, countless people on the Sainz continent breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, people thought that Xu Yi's return this time would bring about a strong change in the Sainz Continent, but they didn't expect that Xu Yi was just secretly promoting the space program to some countries, and nothing else was done.

When many people discuss it in private, they can't help but speculate.

Could it be that what Xu Yi said before was true? He had really completely handed over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Freya, and he didn't care about anything on the Sainz continent?

No one is a roundworm in Xu Yi's stomach, so no one can be sure of Xu Yi's true thoughts.

But no matter what, Xu Yi finally left the Sainz Continent again.

The last time he left, it took him six years to come back, and he only came back for a month and a half.

So this time away, will he leave for a little longer?

Not everyone is so optimistic.

When analyzing the significance of Xu Yi's hurried back and forth this time, several newspapers pointed out very bluntly that with the great improvement of the current mode of transportation, although the Sainz Continent is separated by tens of thousands of kilometers from the Demon Cloud Continent, it no longer seems to be two different worlds as before. Can't get back and forth.

As long as Xu is willing. It would even take him a day or two to be able to come back at any time.

Between the Demon Cloud Continent and the Sainz Continent, there are a large number of fleets that belong to and do not belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce going back and forth. Two continents are closely connected.

To sum up, the world that people are now exploring is far larger than it used to be, but sensoryly, the world is actually much smaller.

You see, people don't even have to go out to know what's happening thousands of kilometers away, see the images with their own eyes, and get instant communication with thousands of kilometers away.

It really doesn't work. You can also take a ride on a state-of-the-art magic airship and get to the scene of the incident in a very short time.

In this way, what is the essential difference between being close at hand and being thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers apart?

Therefore, although Xu Yi left the Sainz Continent here, as long as he is willing, he will still have great influence on the Sainz Continent.

After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still the most powerful Chamber of Commerce of the Magic Industry on the Sainz continent, and it still plays a pivotal role in all the countries on this continent, and who dares to ignore it?

I have to say that the analysis of these newspapers is very reasonable. But for those who were relieved to know that Xu Yi had left, Xu Yi stayed on the Sainz continent. It's more of a psychological pressure on them.

And now that he is leaving, he has reaffirmed his attitude to people, which naturally makes these people feel a lot more relaxed.

So, with Xu Yi's departure again, the hearts of the people on Sainz floated again.

In August 1824 of the continental calendar, three months after Xu Yi left the Sainz continent again, the Maro Empire suddenly sent troops to invade the southeastern neighboring Duchy of Nomiman.

In just one week, the tiny Duchy of Nomiman had been completely overrun by the army of the Maro Empire and declared extinction.

Grand Duke Nomiman received the news in advance and chose to flee.

With his kinship with the Candela Empire's royal family, Grand Duke Nomiman fled to Wimbledon to seek refuge in the Candela Empire.

The Candela Empire then issued a serious warning to the Maro Empire, warning the Maro Empire to immediately withdraw its army and return the Duchy of Nomiman to the Grand Duke of Nomiman, but the Malo Empire sternly refused.

At the end of August, the Candela Empire chose to send troops, but instead of attacking the Maro Empire directly, it invaded a small duchy sandwiched between the two empires, and contributed to this small duchy in just five days before the Maro Empire reacted.

This small principality called Rogtenstein is inextricably linked to the Maro Empire, and because it is sandwiched between the two empires, it is still in a very sensitive geographical location, and has always been protected by the Maro Empire.

Now the Candela Empire has suddenly sent troops to attack Rogtenstein, undoubtedly in retaliation for the Malo Empire's occupation of the Duchy of Nomiman.

While the two empires were still condemning each other and spraying each other through official and unofficial channels from all sides, the southeastern countries of the mainland were also in turmoil.

The First and Second Fleets of the Commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm were dispatched at the same time, and successively contributed more than ten islands within the territory of the eastern coastal countries of the Sainz continent to the north, and then quickly built fortifications on these islands, completely blocking the coastline in the southeast corner of the continent and controlling it in their own hands.

The coastal states of the southeastern corner of the continent naturally protested against this, but the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm did not bother to accept this, and later, in mid-September, officially declared war on its northern neighbor, the Kingdom of Chino.

The Kingdom of Chino can also be regarded as one of the earliest countries in the southeast corner of the continent to develop the magic industry, but because of the lack of investment in research in military magic machinery, and unlike the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, which has always cooperated closely with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, its military strength is actually far inferior.

As soon as the two countries fought, the Kingdom of Chino was defeated one after another, and the United Kingdom of Nozdorm easily occupied the southern half of the territory of the Kingdom of Chino.

The turmoil in the southeast corner of the continent seems to have driven the situation in other parts of the Sainz continent as well.

At the end of September, under the pretext that a soldier was missing, the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom brazenly sent troops into the northern neighbor of the former Sark Kingdom, the Kingdom of Angela, and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the defenders of the Kingdom of Angela.

The defenders of the Kingdom of Angela were defeated, and the northern army of the Kingdom of Lampari took advantage of the situation to invade the Kingdom of Angela.

At the same time, the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire, which had already displayed their armies at the border, finally ended the nearly month-long verbal exchange of insults.

On the morning of September 29, a brigade sent by the Candela Empire to serve as an outpost was ambushed by the Maro Empire and the entire army was annihilated.

The Candela Empire immediately expressed great indignation at this and officially declared war on the Maro Empire.

On 2 October, a major battle broke out between the armies of the two sides on the border between the two countries.

With the first roar of magic artillery in this battle, it means that the Sainz continent, which has maintained a stable and peaceful situation for more than twenty years, has finally fallen into turmoil again.

###

Unlike the Sainz Continent, which was prone to wars and turmoil, the Demon Cloud Continent at this time was calm.

After the fall of the Goblin King City, the Goblin King fell under the control of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

With the active cooperation of the Goblin King, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other indigenous races took control of almost all the goblin races in the entire Demon Cloud Continent without much effort.

Although countless goblins were killed in the battle, the number of goblins was too large, and the number of captives was still extremely staggering, roughly more than three million.

According to the strategy that Xu Yi and the other races had long formulated, these goblins were scattered and separated, and then they were divided up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other indigenous races, and all of them were pulled back as coolies.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received nearly 1.5 million from it.

Such a terrifying number, originally based on the manpower of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, would have made many people worry that they could not control it.

But because the goblin king is in control, and after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce captured the goblins, he gave these goblins enough food to ensure their basic life, so these goblins are very willing to accept the orders of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After all, before this, the goblins were extremely low in productivity, and the goblins who could eat were very few, and they had to face threats from other races every day, even from their own compatriots.

Now under the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, being able to save their lives and fill their stomachs is a great gift for these goblins.

As for the revolt?

Are you kidding!

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has so many incomparably terrible things, what are they going to resist?

So after a short period of chaos at first, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received the full 1.5 million goblins relatively easily.

In fact, with the number of people who came to the Demon Cloud Continent with Xu Yi this time, the total number of guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Demon Cloud Continent is only about 14,000.

If so many goblins resist together, even if they are not afraid, it will be quite troublesome.

However, these goblins are extremely obedient, and often only need a team of a dozen or so guards to take care of tens of thousands of goblins and dare not make any changes.

Moreover, Xu Yi also implemented a subcontracting responsibility system among the goblins, singled out those who were slightly smarter from the goblins, gave them slightly higher status and treatment, and let them be responsible for managing a part of the goblins, and then directly responsible to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If something goes wrong with the team of goblins he manages, then go directly to their responsibility.

In addition, these goblins who are managers can also monitor each other, and if they report an anomaly to another team's goblins, and verify that it is true, they can also give additional rewards.

Under this method, simple-minded goblins basically can't play tricks if they want to.

As a result, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly got a huge manpower of 1.5 million, although not every one of these manpower is useful, and the individual ability is far inferior to that of humans and other races, but the simple work is still capable of being completed.

After they were arranged by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to devote themselves to various basic and simple work, the progress of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in all aspects has been rapidly improved.

If someone comes to visit the current Demon Cloud Continent, they can find that the area controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is simply the same every day.

In just half a year, various production bases similar to the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have been emerging, and all places are in full swing, which is in stark contrast to the war-torn Sainz continent. (To be continued.) )
