An hour later, about fifty kilometers northwest of the port of Heimi, huge pieces of wood were floating everywhere on the sea.

Several large ships that had not yet completely silenced were changing and sinking on the surface of the sea, bringing out several huge whirlpools, sucking the surrounding sawdust and the soldiers of the First Fleet of the Sark Kingdom who were not dead but did not have time to escape into the bottomless seabed.

The originally turquoise sea water was dyed a miserable color of blood red mixed with scorched black, which represented that the most elite detachment of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of Sarke, which had just passed majestically through this sea area, had become a trace of history and disappeared without a trace.

Floating in the sky were several high-ranking magicians belonging to the military headquarters of the Sark Kingdom who had followed the First Fleet, and they all looked at the sea below in disbelief, looking at the huge winged horn suspended on the surface of the sea, like a mountain, with shocked faces.

When the Spreading Wings first appeared in front of everyone, they were only amazed at the sheer size of the ship, and shocked that the ship was made entirely of metal.

When they recognized that the ship was supposed to be the huge magic steamer of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce mentioned in the intelligence, they immediately prepared to attack.

But they never expected that when the Spreading Wings was still two or three kilometers away from the sea ship in front, suddenly a large ball of fire came out from the Spreading Wings, and then they saw an overwhelming array of magical rockets dragging powerful magical light flying from the Spreading Wings.

Under the attack of such a dense array of magic rockets, none of them could be spared.

The ships of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of Sark are all made of wood, although compared to the ships of ordinary fishermen, they have been strengthened in terms of fire prevention and impact resistance. But after being hit by these magic rockets. But he was immediately injured extremely severely.

It's just the first round of attacks. The proud ships of the First Fleet of the Sark Kingdom were all lost in combat effectiveness in an instant.

And when the second round of magic rockets flew over, all the ships that had nowhere to hide and no ability to dodge were sunk before they all lasted long.

This detachment, the most elite detachment in the First Fleet, which can almost be called invincible in the surrounding waters, was wiped out in the face of the attack launched by a mere wing-spreading ship, which could not even hold out for five minutes!

throughout the process. They didn't even make any counterattack!

The remaining magicians were stunned for a long time, and they wanted to turn around and flee, but after thinking of the severity of military law and the description in the newspaper, they looked at each other and decided to make a move.

With so many of their magicians joining forces, it might be possible to capture the Spreading Wings.

As long as this spreading wings can be obtained, then the loss of these sea ships is nothing at all.

However, when the magic power on these magicians had just flowed and they were about to cast magic, the space in front of them suddenly seemed to collapse into it. The whole space turned into a bottomless swarthy patch.

The magicians of the Kingdom of Sark gasped at the same time.

"It's space magic! They actually have a great magician!"

The magicians looked at each other and didn't hesitate. He turned around and flew in the direction of the northern kingdom of Sark.

Xu Yi withdrew his hand and stopped the magic fluctuations.

Turning his head to look at President Cruise with a sluggish face, Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Now do you still doubt the strength of me and our Chamber of Commerce?"

President Cruise let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "Xu Yi, you are simply a monster. The new flying chamber of commerce you created is also a monster. ”

Xu Yi laughed and ordered Neval: "Return sail." ”

The Spreading Wings made a graceful arc across the sea and turned around towards the waters of the Duchy of Stantin.

###

Two days later, the reorganized Spread Wings engaged in a fierce battle with the main fleet of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of Sark led by General Coller in the waters northwest of the Duchy of Stantin.

The Spread Wings was unscathed, and only three ships escaped from the main force of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of Sark, and the rest were sunk.

The blockaded coastline of the main base of the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce was unblocked.

Five days later, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, together with a total of 5,000 guards hired from the six chambers of commerce, including the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, the Armani Chamber of Commerce, the Remet Chamber of Commerce, and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, suddenly counterattacked from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Under the fierce attack, Grand Duke Weilun's subordinates had no power to resist at all, and the defense line was completely broken in an instant.

Grand Duke Weilun's blockade of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has come to an end.

A week later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce continued its offensive, breaking through four lines of defense under Grand Duke Wei Lun in succession, and attacking Grand Duke Wei Lun's private estate.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Grand Duke Wei Lun escaped in advance and disappeared.

Without the command of Grand Duke Weilun, coupled with the loss of supplies, they were unable to exert the power of military magic machinery, and Grand Duke Weilun's subordinates were no longer able to resist.

Half a month later, Xu Yi, who completely defeated the Grand Duke of Weilun and took over all the territories under the name of the Grand Duke of Weilun, was unexpectedly unexpected, and did not stop there, but directly attacked the other two neighboring lords.

In just ten days, Xu Yi's personal guard had completely defeated these two lords and taken over all their territories.

After that, Xu also corrected for a full twenty days.

Just when everyone thought that Xu Yi would stop like this, and not attack the other lords like the previous Grand Duke of Weilun, Xu Yi suddenly moved again.

If you don't move, it's just a thunderbolt.

Within a month, Xu Yi's personal guards broke through as many as seven lords one after another, and completely took the territories of these seven lords under their names.

In all the battles, with the powerful firepower advantage caused by a large number of military magic machines, the other lords were unable to form any effective resistance at all, and were completely defeated without exception.

By this time, the other lords in the Duchy of Stantin finally understood.

Although Xu Yi is not the Grand Duke of Wei Lun, he is more threatening than the Grand Duke of Wei Lun!

As a result, all the remaining lords of the Duchy of Stantin gathered together to resist Xu Yi's offensive.

However, the unforgiving reality shattered the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Xu Yi only sent 5,000 personal guards. On the frontal battlefield, he defeated the 40,000-strong army gathered by these lords with great ease.

And from the beginning to the end of the whole battle, Xu Yi's personal guard took the absolute initiative. and complete advantages.

In front of Xu Yi's personal guard. The subordinates of these lords are like children facing adults, only to be beaten, and they are powerless to resist.

This battle completely shattered the rebellion of the other lords, and after this battle, most of the lords chose to surrender to Xu Yi on their own initiative, while a few secretly gathered up their belongings and fled from the Duchy of Stantin, and disappeared like the Grand Duke of Weilun.

It took less than two months. Xu Yi completely defeated all the other lords in the Duchy of Stantin, and truly did what Grand Duke Weilun had thought of but did not do, that is, to bring the entire Duchy of Stantin under his control.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xu Yi rejected a request from a large group of people to succeed him as the Grand Duke of Stantin, and instead announced the formation of a State Council of the Principality of Constantine, referred to as the Congress of the Principality of Constantin, which is mainly responsible for managing the affairs of the Principality of Constantine.

At the same time, Hsu also elected the Earl of Ankru as the chairman of the Council of State, elected several young lords of the Duchy of State, and selected several commoners from among the commoners of the Duchy of Staten to join the Parliament. He also served as a commissioner and assisted the Earl of Ancloix in the management of the Duchy's affairs.

As for Xu Yi himself. He only holds the title of special adviser in the National Assembly, and does not specifically participate in the management of government affairs, but only provides advice and assistance when needed.

Of course, this is his own public statement, and in the eyes of everyone, with his current strong control over the Principality of Stantin, how can the internal affairs of the Principality of Constantine bypass him?

To put it mildly, although Xu Yi does not have the name of Grand Duke Stantin, he is completely Grandduke of Stanting.

Even more exaggerated, with his control of the Duchy of Stantin, he can be said to be the king of this country!

###

A breeze blew in through the window, bringing with it a chill.

Xu Yi's gaze was withdrawn from the statistical report in his hand, and he raised his head to look out the window.

Although the window is still full of greenery at this time, it is already the end of December, and it has officially entered the deep winter season.

Since leaving the Kingdom of Lampari, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been in the Principality of Stanting for more than two years.

Today, it can be regarded as truly taking root.

Every time he recalls the ups and downs that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has experienced in the Duchy of Stantin in the past two years, Xu Yi can't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just left the Lampari Kingdom at first, and after entering the Duchy of Statein, it seemed that it was not enough to gain a foothold, Xu also decided that it was most important to gain a firm foothold first.

But in fact, in the past two years, in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a lot of opportunities to completely control the situation in the Duchy of Stantin as it does now.

The reason why he didn't do this was because Xu Yizhi didn't have a cold.

However, in the past two years, the domestic situation in the Principality of Stantin has changed, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has paid a heavy price because of Xu Yi's lack of coldness.

The last raid by Grand Duke Wei Lun on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not cause much substantial damage, but the previous attempt by Grand Duke Wei Lun and the Kingdom of Shack to completely capture the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce caused heavy losses to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

He is not particularly concerned about the financial loss.

Although this time to solve the threat brought by the Grand Duke of Weilun and the Kingdom of Sark, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested more than three million gold coins in this regard, plus the funds invested in the post-war reconstruction and the follow-up development plan, Xu Yi estimates that the total investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce next year will even be close to 10 million gold coins, but Xu Yi will not feel heartache.

What really pained him was the large number of lives lost in this practice.

"If I had been more resolute, maybe not so many people would have died because of this, right?"

Looking at a red leaf falling outside the window, a trace of gloom flashed in Xu Yishuang's eyes, but after a while, it turned into firmness.

"Anyway, since it's been decided, then you can't hesitate any more in the future. ”

Xu Yi squeezed his fist vigorously and then relaxed.

After completely controlling the situation in the entire Duchy of Stantin, there were many people who asked him to ascend to the position of Grand Duke of Stantin, or even simply ascended the throne and became king.

Xu Yi rejected them all.

Although the previous events have made him change his mentality and he is now willing to take the initiative to control the situation, he knows very well that with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no problem in controlling the entire Duchy of Stantin, and it is enough to resist the covetousness of other forces against the Duchy of Stanting and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it is not realistic to want to control the entire Duchy of Stanting on the surface.

"In any case, in the future, you can no longer leave your fate in the hands of others, but should be completely in your own hands. ”

Xu Yi looked at the red leaves falling outside the window and the sparse woods, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

Raising his hand, the autumn leaves outside the window suddenly seemed to be thrown into a small pebble, and the ripples swayed.

At this time, Xu Yi actually broke through.

(End of Volume 4 "The Throne")

(I have to say, the fourth volume was written with a hard time.) The story written in this book is mainly about how Xu Yi used his knowledge of industrial theory to change the continent, so I have always wanted to keep the main line on the description of the development and promotion of magical machinery. But after all, this is something that involves a world, and if you want to change the world, there are some things that have to be described. I must admit that I didn't write well enough on this front. However, from the next volume onwards, the story will enter a new phase, the main line will be clearer, and the effects of magical machines on the world will be more interesting and varied. So...... Stay tuned for the fifth volume, "Footsteps to the Mainland". (To be continued......)
