In the staff headquarters of the military headquarters of the Kingdom of Sark, the atmosphere was as solemn as death.

Ivy Joao's gaze swept over the faces of his colleagues, and finally fell on the face of the chief of staff, Benjamin Dirk, who found that the wise brain of the known staff and the minister, who had always been known for his confidence at any time, was also in a sinking face at the moment, and his mood was obviously not very good.

This is understandable, after receiving the news from the southwest of the kingdom before, it is impossible for anyone to be in a good mood.

The Spirit Tortoise Legion, which was the best at defensive warfare in the military department, actually suffered a defeat within the kingdom, and it was not a particularly powerful legion that defeated them, but only a single person.

Of course, this person is a powerful great magician, and in the face of this kind of super existence that has been far beyond the comprehension of mortals in many places, the Spirit Tortoise Legion only sent a sub-team of two thousand people, so it suffered defeat, in fact, strictly speaking, illness cannot be regarded as a completely unacceptable thing.

But the problem lies in the identity of the great magician.

The great magician who defeated the Spirit Tortoise Legion sub-team with his own strength was actually Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!

Xu Yi is undoubtedly one of the most famous people in the southwestern countries of the Sainz continent, but he is one of the few people who has gained such a high reputation and prestige as a businessman, which makes everyone else think of him every time, the first thing that comes to mind is his identity as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and always ignores the fact that he is actually a very powerful magician.

The military department of the Sark Kingdom had not forgotten this fact, but they had never expected that Xu Yi had actually become a powerful great magician!

And judging by the battle reports that were passed back. He showed his strength. I'm afraid it's already surpassed the junior great magician. Far beyond people's imagination.

As the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi is already enough to make everyone's hearts have super weight, and if he is paired with his status as a great magician, it will make people feel desperate.

In the history of the Sainz Continent, there have been occasional magicians engaged in business, and some businessmen will suddenly find that they have the talent of magicians and go to learn magic halfway, but no one has ever been able to reach such a high level in both aspects at the same time as Xu Yi.

The General Staff has imagined countless ways to deal with Xu Yi, including a covert assassination.

But now Xu Yi has shown the strength of the great magician. It was immediately declared that the assassination of him was almost completely impossible.

After becoming a great magician, he will master the spatial teleportation magic, and as long as Xu Yi is not looking for death by himself, then it is almost impossible for him to be assassinated.

The only possibility is to bring in a super magician at the level of a magus to deal with him, so that he can not resist at all and be killed directly.

However, in the entire southwest corner of the Sainz continent, only Camilla Magician, who is registered with the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, is currently the only Magister.

As we all know, Camila Magister is the grandfather of Xu Yi's wife Steele, of course, it is impossible to attack Xu Yi.

Therefore, the news that Xu Yi has become a great magician basically declares that it is a completely impossible task for the Shack Kingdom to assassinate Xu Yi.

But that's it. As a result, the General Staff's plan to deal with Xu Yi was greatly restricted.

The General Staff of the Kingdom of Sark has established a fact in response to the various studies of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. That is, Xu Yi's value alone can be compared with the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even surpass.

If you want to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you must find a way to solve Xu Yi.

Of course, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not the focus, the focus is on the Lampari Kingdom supported by Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes, which is what really gives the Sark Kingdom a headache.

"If it weren't for them to obstruct it, we could have sent a little more people, how could we have been defeated by Xu Yi alone!" a young staff officer suddenly roared angrily.

The other staff officers in the room looked at him with a strange look on their faces.

An equally young staff officer glanced at the staff officer who had spoken before, and snorted coldly: "Don't you understand? This Xu is also a great magician! Even if we send more people, what if we can't help him at all!"

"But...... At the very least, we can defend our territory. Now every time I think that the sacred territory that originally belonged to our kingdom has been occupied by the filthy elves, I feel very unhappy. The young staff officer snapped and saluted Benjamin Dirk. "Your Excellency, I request the military department to send more troops to the Southwest Province to recapture the territories that originally belonged to us!"

Benjamin Dirk glanced at him and said calmly, "After the agreement signed between the Kingdom Council and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and those elves, that territory no longer belongs to our kingdom. So in fact, strictly speaking, Xu Yi was not wrong at all in front of the Spirit Tortoise Legion. It's not that they've encroached on our territory, it's that we've violated the territory of those elves. ”

"Impossible!" the young staff officer roared angrily, "I will never recognize this damn agreement! Those damned fellows of the Kingdom Council are completely tarnishing the glory of our military headquarters, and they have betrayed the entire kingdom of Zak!"

Benjamin Dirk frowned slightly and waved his hand at him: "I understand your anger, and as a soldier of the Kingdom, I am equally ashamed of this agreement. But this is the decision of the Council of the Kingdom, and we, as soldiers, can only obey it. ”

"But ......"

"No, but!" said Benjamin Dirk in an accentuated tone. "It is a soldier's duty to obey orders!"

The young staff officer's face turned red, but he could only keep his mouth tightly closed, not daring to speak again.

Benjamin Dirk's face was composed, his gaze swept over the room, and finally landed on Ivy João, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd.

"Director Joao, how is the current research on military magic machinery?"

The eyes of the crowd were focused on Ivy Joao, and everyone wondered why the Minister had put the first question on him.

Ivy João was previously Chief of Staff of the Greedy Wolf Legion. In terms of status, it is not even worse than Minister Dirk. Even if it is currently being stared at by so many people. Of course, there was no nervousness, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "It should be said that there has been progress, but it is far from enough." And the most critical problem is that we can't accurately determine the level of military magic machinery currently possessed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so we can't judge the level of military magic machinery possessed by the army of the Lampari Kingdom based on this. ”

Benjamin Dirk nodded and sighed slightly: "It's a pity, this time send the Greedy Wolf Legion over." I just wanted to force the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team to take the opportunity to test their level, but I didn't expect Xu Yi to already have a strong strength at the level of a great magician, and I didn't expect him to take action in person, so that we couldn't achieve our goal. ”

The staff officers in the room looked at each other and saw the surprise in their eyes.

It turned out that the military department sent the Spirit Tortoise Legion to deliberately go to the territory that had been sold to the elves by the kingdom council, not to protect the territory, but for another purpose.

But sending two thousand soldiers of the Spirit Tortoise Legion to run over just to force the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team to take action?

This is too much to look up to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team......

Ivy Joao sighed in deep agreement with Minister Dirk, and also let out a soft sigh: "Yes. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to obtain accurate information about the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It is difficult to speculate on the true strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team, so as to judge the current level of the military magic machinery owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

Benjamin Dirk frowned and thought for a moment, and continued: "The only information we can get now is the information from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team when there was civil strife in the Duchy of Stantin a few months ago. However, because the record is too simple, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team easily defeats the opponent every time, which makes it difficult for us to make accurate judgments. ”

"Well, the subordinates of those lords in the Duchy of Stantin naturally cannot be compared to the soldiers of our Sark Kingdom. Ivy João nodded.

"But we are in dire need of information about military magic machinery. Benjamin Dirk turned his head to look in the corner at a middle-aged staff officer who looked nothing at all, and who would never have noticed him when he was thrown in the crowd. "Yuri, you're going to step up over there. Remember, at all costs, to get the information we need, you know what I mean?"

The middle-aged staff officer nodded: "Yes, Minister, I will work harder." ”

Benjamin Dirk turned to look at Ivy João again: "Director Joao, you also need to keep an eye on the research you are responsible for. It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of our entire kingdom of Sark may be in the hands of the research you have conducted. ”

Many of the young staff officers in the staff room frowned, looking at Ivy João with a somewhat unconvinced gaze.

The military magic machinery research department led by this guy has been tossing for so long, and there is no result until now, why does the military department and the kingdom council pay special attention to them and invest so much manpower and material resources in it?

In the eyes of these young staff officers, although the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed very powerful in rumors, they have not seen it with their own eyes, and they don't think that just relying on a few military magic machines can decide the fate of the entire Sakova Kingdom.

Ignoring the young people's gazes, Joao said in a slow voice, "Your Excellency, I know better than anyone else what I am accusing, please rest assured. ”

Benjamin Dirk nodded, glanced down at the map of the Kingdom of Sark on the table, groaned slightly, and reached out to tap on the southwest corner of the map.

"I will mention to the military headquarters that the Spirit Tortoise Legion* will be stationed here to prevent the elves here from infiltrating and invading the kingdom. What is your opinion on this?"

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

It is certainly the right thing to guard against these elves who have broken into the house, but send the entire Spirit Tortoise Legion to ...... It's too much fuss, isn't it?(To be continued......)
