Chapter 135: Make a good chess piece
An astonishing piece of news quickly spread throughout the Duchy of Stantin.
Count Veron, officially declare war on Archduke Stantin!
Although according to the previous development of the situation, everyone knew that sooner or later the Count of Veron would have to contend with the Standing Justice.
But no one expected that this day would come so quickly.
Even if Count Weilun has been developing rapidly recently, after all, he has only just annexed a few small lords, and even if his strength has been greatly improved, firstly, he has not stabilized the situation in his newly acquired territory, and secondly, he has been fighting again and again, so he should stop and recuperate for a while, how can he directly fight openly with Stantin, the most powerful in the entire principality?
What's more, Grand Duke Stantin has been sitting in the position of Grand Duke of the Principality for more than thirty years, and no one can predict how strong the accumulated strength will be.
It was unwise for Earl Willon to rashly choose to fight Standing in a big open war.
However, just like the situation when Count Veron and other lords went to war before, when Count Veron and Archduke Standin officially went to war, the troops under Count Standin could not resist Count Veron's attack at all, and they were defeated from the beginning.
In just half a month, Count Weilun's army advanced a full 200 kilometers in the territory of the Grand Duke of Stantin, occupying more than one-third of the territory under the name of the Grand Duke of Stantin.
I had been looking forward to a fierce battle between Count Veron and Archduke Stantin, and it was best that both sides would lose, or Archduke Stanting could teach the other lords in Count Veron's principality a hard lesson, but after seeing this situation, they all became silent.
Soon. There were calls for the replacement of the Grand Duke in the Duchy of Stantin.
Seeing that the other lords could no longer resist the advance of Count Veron. Now they are beginning to support Count Veron as the new Archduke of Stantin.
Even some of the lords sang praises to Count Veron. It is very likely that it will become the first in the history of the Principality of Stantin to truly unify the entire principality, so that the Principality of Stantin will really become a grand duke of a country.
If Count Veron can accomplish this great deed, then he will become the greatest Grand Duke in the history of the Duchy of Stantin, and he will definitely write a brilliant chapter in the history of the Duchy of Stantin.
For a time, the situation in the Principality of Stantin changed in an instant.
Previously, the Grand Duke of Stanting had received the support of a bunch of lords, but after the official confrontation between Count Veron and the Grand Duke of Stantin, these lords who supported the Grand Duke of Stanting immediately defected.
In the blink of an eye, Count Veron seemed to have become the best choice for the new Grand Duke.
However, at this time the Count of Willon himself. But there was no joy in my heart.
###
"Chairman Xu, this is the battle plan for the next period of time, please take a look. Count Willon handed over the thick plan in his hand with both hands, and looked respectful.
is completely different from the arrogance when facing Xu Yi before, and even when he dared to lead the army to attack Xu Yi's private territory in a fit of anger, the current Earl of Weilun can no longer put on any domineering posture in front of Xu Yi, but he is respectful to Xu Yi, and he does not dare to put on a little arrogant face.
At times, Count Veron himself was angry and humiliated by his demeanor.
But there was nothing he could do.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, especially the other lords of the Duchy of Stantin. He can now be described as majestic, even if he fights in a big open battle with Stantin, he can defeat the other party. He is really the most popular figure in the Principality of Stantin.
But he himself knew very well that this qiē was based on the support adopted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce towards him.
Without the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he would be no different from the other lords in the Duchy of Stantin, nothing.
If Xu Yi is dissatisfied, Xu Yi can immediately support another lord to replace him.
And as long as the supply of his military magic machinery is cut off, the combat effectiveness of his army will almost become zero, and all the qiē he has obtained now will only be in vain.
Sometimes, Lord Weilun was tempted to give up all his military magic machinery, because he felt that with the territory, manpower, and material resources he had now, he was enough to compete with any lord in the principality, even in the face of Archduke Stantin.
But at the same time, he also knew very well that if he really lost the military magic machine, the soldiers under his command who had long been accustomed to using the military magic machine to win easily with high efficiency and lethality would not even be as effective as the soldiers he had before.
Using the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst.
No, he'll be done right away, but if he keeps using it, he'll be done too.
Count Veron was helpless about the current situation, he could not think of any way to solve it, so after a long time, he had completely abandoned the idea of solving the problem.
He had already made a decision in his heart, since Xu Yi wanted to use him as a chess piece, then he would strive to be a useful chess piece.
Anyway, Xu Yi seems to be only interested in making money, and he is not very interested in becoming a lord and having the power of life and death over everyone in the territory.
As long as he does things well according to Xu Yi's instructions, then he will definitely be able to become the most powerful Grand Duke in the Duchy of Stantin.
Although the premise is to follow Xu Yi's arrangement.
Xu Yi took the battle plan, just glanced at it, and put it aside.
"Count Veron, I don't care about the details of your battle, I only care if you can achieve what I want you to achieve. And in the process of achieving this goal, no matter what support you need from me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I will do my best. ”
Looking at the sincere gaze on Xu Yi's face, Count Weilun scolded in his heart.
This Xu Yi is simply the most hypocritical villain!
He clearly controlled the entire Duchy of Stantin with one hand, but he pushed himself to the front to die for him, constantly fighting with the other lords in the Duchy, hiding behind and doing nothing.
Despite this thought, Count Veron still had a smile on his face. Nodding his head, "Yes." President Hsu. This is where we need supplies next. Please take a look. ”
Xu Yi took this supply statistics, but he looked at it seriously.
Just looking at it for a moment, he frowned.
"Count Willon, the consumption of this magic arrow is a bit too high, isn't it? In the past half a month, you and Stantin's bus battle has been a total of five times, and you have actually consumed a full 100,000 magic arrows? But judging from the results of the battle, the total number of soldiers lost by the Grand Duke of Stantin's side is not more than 10,000. Do you need to spend an average of more than ten magic arrows to kill an enemy?"
Count Wei Lun said in a deep voice: "President Xu, it is difficult to generalize the situation on the battlefield. The soldiers under Grand Duke Stantin were well guarded. Magic arrows are very difficult to effectively kill them, so they cost a little more. ”
"Really, do you have any solution?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Yes. Since the other party already has a way to guard against our ordinary military magic machinery, as long as President Xu can provide me with a more advanced military magic machine, I will definitely be able to defeat Grand Duke Standing easily. Count Veron said proudly.
"Oh?" Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at Count Veron with a smile. "What kind of high-level military magic machine do you want?"
"It doesn't have to be too advanced. The last time I saw the magic bazooka demonstrated by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team, it was very powerful. If my men were equipped with this magic bazooka, I don't think the army of Grand Duke Stantin would be able to resist. ”
Xu Yi knocked on the armrest of the stool, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible to provide you with a part of this magic bazooka." But Count Veron, the various types of military magic machines that our Chamber of Commerce has provided you with so far. You're mostly on credit. The magic bazooka is indeed powerful, but it is also very expensive. Just one magic bazooka costs seven hundred gold coins. A matching magic rocket costs 30 gold for a single shot. Are you sure you can afford it?"
Count Veron snorted coldly, thinking to himself that the reason why you are willing to provide me with these military magic machines on credit is not that you want me to be born and die for you, and what are you doing with all this nonsense now?
Of course, on the surface, this cannot be said.
Count Wei Lun thought for a moment and replied, "That's it, President Xu, according to the old rules, I will cede you another piece of territory, what do you think?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "Too many territories don't mean much to me, and now this territory is enough for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop, and it makes no difference to me if you give me more territory." ”
Count Wei Lun immediately spread his hands: "What should I do then? I don't have any money." ”
Seeing Count Wei Lun put on a scoundrel face, Xu couldn't help but laugh.
Count Wei Lun made it clear that the broken jar was broken, anyway, he was sure that Xu Yi would not come out to do these things by himself now, and for a while, it would be impossible for Xu Yi to find a new lord to replace him.
"I don't need the territory for the time being, I don't lack much money at the moment, and there is only one thing I need most now, and that is people. Xu Yizheng said.
"People?"
"Yes. Count Veron, we re-sign an agreement. From today on, as long as it is the territory you have conquered, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have the right to control half of the people in this territory. To put it simply, I'm going to take half of them. ”
"Half?" said Count Veron's face was a little ugly. "That's too much, isn't it? If you take all those young men away, what will happen to my territory?"
"Don't worry. Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand. "The people I need are not mainly young men. On the contrary, in many of the factories under the name of our chamber of commerce, there is an urgent shortage of adult women. ”
"Really?" Count Wei Lun glanced at Xu Yi inexplicably.
What is the use of adult women other than to vent their desires and have children?
If you really want to pick a woman, it's those young and beautiful girls who are more attractive, right?
Thinking of this, Count Weilun suddenly remembered that the two maids he had given to Xu Yi before, Lisy and Linda, had been staying by Xu Yi's side all the time, and seemed to be very loved by Xu Yi.
Maybe...... Xu Yizhen has a special hobby in this area.
Xu also ignored the strange thoughts in Count Weilun's mind, and took out the agreement that had been prepared a long time ago for Count Weilun to see.
Count Veron glanced at it hastily and signed his name.
Anyway, he can only follow Xu Yi's arrangement, and no matter how clearly he sees it, it doesn't make sense.
After the agreement was signed, the two discussed some future cooperation directions, and Count Weilun left Xu Yi's private estate.
After Count Weilun left, Xu Yi got up, but returned to his bedroom.
As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, Elder Elucia and Elder Lisanya swept their gazes together.
Elder Lisanya glanced up and down at Xu Yi, and said softly, "Take it off." (To be continued......)
