As soon as the hottest summer had passed, the battle between the Earl of Veron and the Grand Duke of Standin immediately became more intense.

Archduke Standin actually sent an assassin of the level of Grena's Grand Magician to assassinate Xu Yi, which made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's support for Count Weilun go further, not only providing a steady stream of military magic machinery for Count Weilun, but also purchasing a large number of materials from the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruerson Kingdom and several other countries that have cooperation projects with each other, completely solving the worries of Count Weilun, and naturally being able to go all out to fight Standin in an open war.

For the first time, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was directly involved in the war between the lords within the Duchy of Stantin, and in the battle between the Earl of Willen and the Grand Duke of Stantin, the most elite guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were sent to fight several times.

With the terrifying firepower of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team that was even several times stronger than that of Count Willon's men, Grand Duke Standin was even more powerless to resist.

In just two months, Count Velen led his men to personally attack Faraday City, the capital of the Duchy of Stantin.

Seeing that there was no hope of resistance, Grand Duke Stantin burned to the ashes the glorious Grand Duke's Palace, which he had spent decades building, and he himself was also burned to the ground.

Subsequently, several lords of the Duchy of Stantin submitted to Count Veron at the same time, and at the same time elected him as the new Grand Duke of Stantin, known as Archduke of Veron.

The first thing the Grand Duke of Weilun did after taking over the position of Grand Duke was to demand that all the other lords in the Principality be disarmed and fully accept the leadership and appointment of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Most of the lords obeyed, and only a few declined.

Among them. Including the same call for wind and rain in the south of the Duchy of Stantin. The Viscount of Ankru, who is in the limelight.

If it was an ordinary lord, he would dare to rebel against the current Grand Duke of Weilun. Then what greeted him must be the merciless blow of Weilun's part-time job.

In fact, Wei Lun's part-time job is exactly what he did.

A week after he gave the order to disarm, Grand Duke Weilun immediately sent troops to the lords who resisted his order, and easily routed them, unceremoniously taking their realms into his own hands.

However, for the Viscount of Anclair, who also rebelled against his orders, the Archduke of Weilun was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and did not make any moves in alignment, and both sides showed extreme peace and restraint. It's as if there won't be any conflict at all.

In fact, everyone in the Duchy of Stantin understands that whether it is the Viscount of Ankru or the Grand Duke of Weilun, the biggest supporter behind it is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or Xu Yi.

Don't look at the fact that these two lords can call for wind and rain in the Principality of Stantin, but in fact, what they want to do must be decided by looking at the faces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi.

This is a frustrating fact.

The support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is crucial to either side, and if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gives up its support for one of them, then the fate that awaits this side will inevitably be completely defeated by the other side.

Or to put it more bluntly, there is only the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Or only Xu Yi is the only one who can really decide the internal situation of the Duchy of Stantin.

And what makes everyone wonder. Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has such a strong strength, why don't they simply send their own troops to conquer all the lords in the Duchy of Stantin, instead of choosing the two forces of Viscount Ankru and Grand Duke Weilun?

Or would he simply choose to support one side and assist this side in ruling the entire Duchy of Stantin, so that wouldn't he be able to gain greater benefits?

"Actually, I can do that. Xu Yi looked at Ankru, who was sitting on his left hand and right, and the new Grand Duke of Stantin, Archduke Weilun, with a stern expression.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid that no one in the Duchy of Stantin would have believed that the two Viscounts of Ankru and Archduke Weilun, who were now fighting for control of the Duchy of Stantin, would actually sit calmly facing each other at this time, and even have a smile on their faces, as if the two sides were not enemies at all, but friends.

"And the reason why I didn't do this is because I feel that this has actually caused too much damage to the Principality of Stanting, and it is not conducive to the development of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Constantin. Xu also continued.

Ankru took a sip of tea, glanced at the opposite side of the Grand Duke of Weilun, who was smiling but looked at him with a fierce light in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "President Xu, let me guess, your biggest scruple is that you are worried that the Duchy of Stantin has been in turmoil, which will seriously affect the population, right?"

"That's right. Xu Yi nodded slightly. "Our chamber of commerce is in dire need of manpower. The local population of the Duchy of Stantin is important to me, and I don't want them to be lost to the war. ”

Ankru's face sank slightly: "President Xu, with all due respect. If it weren't for your strong support for Count Veron, Count Veron would never have dared to attack other lords, let alone even challenge Archduke Standin in the end. ”

The Grand Duke of Wei Lun on the opposite side raised his eyebrows and glared at Ankru angrily: "What? Viscount Ancrue, do you look down on me? Do you want to go back to each other now?"

Ankru glanced at Grand Duke Wei Lun with disdain, and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for President Xu stopping me, I would have beaten your rabble to the ground." ”

Grand Duke Wei Lun was immediately furious, Huo Di got up, pointed at Ankru and shouted, "Okay, let's go back to war immediately." Let's see who's in the rabble!"

Ankru was about to answer, Xu Yi, who was walking in the middle, snorted coldly, and the two immediately fell silent and looked at Xu Yi in unison.

"I don't care if you don't like each other, but since you've come to me, sit down and talk well!" Xu Yi glanced at each other, and after glaring at each other, the two sat down at the same time.

Seeing the two of them holding back their anger, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

With the current attitude of these two guys, how can they expect them to coexist peacefully and contribute to the development of the Duchy of Stantin?

In fact, if it was possible, Xu Yizhen really wanted to directly exclude the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort as many lords in the Principality of Stantin had guessed. Sweep away a qiē opposition within the Principality of Stantin. Completely incorporate the Duchy of Stantin into its own control. In that case, no matter how he wants to make a development plan for the Duchy of Stantin, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to be tied up like now.

However, the manpower problem he was worried about was not only in the hands of the people in the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also in the hands of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although the number of guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been expanding, it is now close to three thousand.

Combined with the various military magic machines equipped, as well as the long-term training and the high level of their own weapons, the nearly three thousand guards filled with a large number of dwarven warriors and elven warriors were extremely terrifying. In a head-to-head battle, you can easily defeat more than 10,000 enemies.

However, because there are too few people after all, it is okay to protect the current main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it is extremely insufficient to rule the entire Duchy of Stantin.

Therefore, Xu Yi must also find other lords with sufficient strength in the Duchy of Stantin as agents, and use guò agents to achieve his own planning reform of the Duchy of Constantine.

In this regard, there are pros and cons to choosing Ankro and choosing Archduke Velon.

Ankru has excellent abilities and can recognize the shape clearly, and there are many similarities with Xu Yi's philosophy, if he cooperates, Xu Yi will be able to complete his plan for the Duchy of Stantin more easily and easily.

But Ankru has a shortcoming that Xu Yi is very afraid of. That is, he is ambitious, in other words, ambitious. It is difficult for this kind of person to be willing to be subordinate to others, and I am afraid that he will not completely obey Xu Yi's arrangement in the future.

And Grand Duke Weilun is not as good as Ankru in other aspects, but he is obedient to Xu Yiyan, which is very suitable as a puppet.

Xu Yi did not have the ability to get rid of both of them for the time being, so he chose to support both of them at the same time and let them check and balance each other.

At least at this stage, because these two people have to win the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they will make enough concessions to Xu Yi.

Today, Xu Yi was able to bring these two people together at the same time, and it was by virtue of this.

After a pause, Xu Yi said to Ankru: "Ankru, I remember that your ideal is to let the people of the Duchy of Stantin live a good life, right?"

Ankru nodded lightly: "Yes, this is my ideal that will never change." But President Xu, now that the Duchy of Stantin has been in the midst of war for a year, this is not what I want. ”

Xu Yi nodded, did not respond, but turned to Grand Duke Wei Lun and asked, "What about you, Grand Duke Wei Lun, what is your ideal?"

Grand Duke Wei Lun pouted: "I don't have such lofty ideals, I just want to make my life better." ”

"Moth!" Ankru snorted softly.

Grand Duke Weilun's eyes widened, and he was about to get angry again.

Xu Yi waved his hand and stopped him.

"Okay, since neither of you is too demanding, it's a lot simpler. Ankru, you have been to Bang Ta City, I believe you should know very well how much Bang Ta City has changed under the influence of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and how much the lives of the people in Bang Ta City have improved. ”

Ankru nodded, and turned his head to look in the direction of the Lampari kingdom with a hint of fascination in his expression.

"At that time, Bangta City was really the most vibrant and energetic city I have ever seen in my life. If every city in the Duchy of Stantin could become the same as the city of Bonta, then I would have no complaints even if I died now. ”

"You don't need to die. Xu Yi smiled. "As long as you work closely with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then you can naturally turn the Duchy of Stantin into the same as Bonta City. The people of the Duchy of Stantin will also become as vibrant and energetic as the people of Bonta City. ”

Ankru pondered for a long time and nodded slowly.

"President Xu, I believe you have the ability. Now the lives of the people in your private domain seem to me to be no different from those in heaven. If you can make all the people of the Duchy of Stantin have this kind of life, then whatever you ask me to do, I will willingly. Even if...... Even if you are to be elected as the Grand Duke of Stantin, I have no objection. ”

Grand Duke Wei Lun snorted: "Then what am I going to do?

Ankru's expression was cold: "What? What qualifications do you have to compare with President Xu?"

"Of course, I am not qualified to compare with President Xu. But since I am already the Grand Duke of Stantin, how can I let President Xu deign to take my place. "Wei Lun is fair.

Ankru was a little puzzled: "Then what do you say?"

"It's simple. Grand Duke Wei Lun suddenly became excited. "If you want to say my words, if President Xu wants to do that, he should be king!" (To be continued......)
