His Majesty the Emperor Candela looked at a document on the table in front of him and was silent.

This document was just a piece of information, but it was at the top of all the documents, meaning that it was the most important of all the things he had to deal with today.

And this information is thick, sprinkled with almost 10,000 words, but in summary, it only describes one thing.

Xu Yi is back.

"This guy ...... Why don't you just stay on the Demon Cloud Continent and not come back? Or ...... Wouldn't it be better to just die on the Demon Cloud Continent?" a wry smile rose into the corner of Emperor Candela's mouth.

In fact, for him, his thoughts about Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, have always been complicated.

If it was purely from the perspective of the Candela Empire, he should be very grateful to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce he represented.

First of all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce brought the Farmland Magic Machine, and also cooperated with the Elves to obtain the plant growth ability from the Elves that they had been unwilling to share with other races, and created the fertilizer.

With the help of these two things, the food production in the Candela Empire has increased dramatically, nearly tenfold compared to thirty years ago when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not appear.

With such a crazy increase in production, the Candela Empire no longer had to worry about famine, and the empire's rule naturally became much more stable, and there was no need to worry about unrest caused by the appearance of the disaster.

Even if there is a large-scale famine, with the annual grain reserves of the Candela Empire, it will not cause any problems at all.

In the past, this would have been unimaginable.

Of course. There is much more to the previously unimaginable.

Among them in the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor Candela. second only to the increase in grain production. It's the improvement of transportation.

The Candela Empire was an extremely large empire.

From the northernmost point of the empire to the southernmost point, the distance in a straight line is more than 4,000 kilometers.

Even with the fastest steed, it would theoretically take three days to get from the northernmost to the southernmost point with the fastest horse.

In practice, due to the problem of manpower and horsepower, as well as the obstruction of the road, it may take at least half a month to achieve such a trip.

This makes it possible to do whatever happens anywhere in the empire. If it wants to reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, it has been a few days later, and it will greatly affect the control and influence of His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Center on the Empire.

In the current Candela Empire, countless roads crisscross the empire, forming a road transportation network that connects all cities and almost all towns in the country.

Combined with the new means of transportation brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Locomotive, it only takes one to two days to reach any place in the Empire.

Even putting aside all the civilian conveniences it brings, the mere fact that it enabled all the troops under the control of the central center of the empire to arrive anywhere in the empire within a day or two greatly strengthened His Majesty's control over the empire.

Think about it, if you dare to rebel, then the imperial army will be in front of you within a day or two.

Under such deterrence. And what nobleman would choose to rebel without knowing whether to live or die?

Besides, all kinds of magical machinery-related industries in the current Candela Empire are thriving. And because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce admits its to cooperate with the Imperial Official, most of the other Magic Industry Chambers of Commerce are close to the Imperial Official, so that the Imperial Official has gained the greatest control over the magic industry within the Empire.

This makes it necessary for the nobles within the empire to rally closely around the official authorities of the empire as long as they want to participate in the magic industry themselves, so as to obtain better development opportunities and prospects.

And how could the nobles of the empire rebel unwisely by participating in the magic industry and reaping for themselves a variety of benefits that far exceeded those of their own territory in the past?

In addition to these two points, among the changes brought to the Candela Empire by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, His Majesty the Emperor Candela's favorite thing in private is actually the magical communication network.

With a magical communication network throughout the empire, he can really know what is happening everywhere in the empire at the first time, and he can also know everything that is happening thanks to the magic illusion image.

This was much better than the previous time when he had sat empty in the palace, waiting for a report after several days of delay below, and it also gave him the pleasure of being the ruler of this vast empire.

Or to put it more bluntly, for His Majesty the Emperor of Candela in the past, he knew that he was the extremely noble Emperor of the Candela Empire, but the limitations of his status made it difficult for him to really get in touch with all aspects of this vast empire, even if he sat on the throne of His Majesty the Emperor, he did not have much real feeling.

However, now, the huge road transportation network, fast and convenient means of transportation, and more convenient magical communication network brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have made him truly feel fulfilled that he is ruling this empire, and truly has the real feeling of being His Majesty the Emperor.

From this point of view, of course, he would like to thank the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi for bringing all this.

However, from another point of view, His Majesty the Emperor Candela hated Xu Yi very much.

That's right, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce he represents have certainly turned the Candela Empire upside down, making him, His Majesty the Emperor, known as the greatest Emperor Majesty in the history of the Empire by countless people in the Empire, but His Majesty the Emperor Candela always feels that his power is far less than before.

The reason is very simple, it is because there is a new flying company that will be pressed on it.

Yes, the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire are the two most powerful empires on the continent of Sainz, and even the Candela Empire is stronger than the Maro Empire, and it is not too much to call it the most powerful country on the continent.

But because of the existence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, whether it is the Candela Empire or the Maro Empire, no matter what you do, you must take into account the thoughts of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If there is one thing that the two empires want to do, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not agree, then the two empires will eventually have to follow the advice of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and be forced to give up.

Even in many cases, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not need to make a clear statement at all, and the two empires have to take into account the possible attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when doing some things.

It's a bad feeling.

Although he is the extremely noble Emperor of the Candela Empire, His Majesty the Emperor of Candela has often had to take into account various factors and make compromises on some things.

But this is just a choice made by oneself after taking into account the interests of all parties.

And now for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is just a simple scruple, and it can even be said to be ...... Afraid.

Even though His Majesty the Emperor Candela would never admit it, he knew it very well in his heart.

Eleven years ago, the war between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the army of the Ruerson Kingdom against the Candela Empire left an indelible mark on his heart.

The strength of the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce made the two empires at that time have no power to resist at all.

Especially the terrorist attack that directly destroyed a mountain peak shown by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the end, it shattered everyone's fighting spirit, so that countless people in the empire could not have the idea of being an enemy when they talked about the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor Candela must be patient, must be careful, must respect, and even listen to the views and opinions from Xu Yi.

This is simply a shame for him, His Majesty the powerful Emperor of the Empire!

Now, eleven years have passed since the battlefield that destroyed everyone's fighting spirit.

In the past eleven years, the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have cooperated vigorously to develop the magic industry in their country, and with the help of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and their own efforts, they have established a basically complete magic industry industry.

Privately, the Candela Empire has invested insanely into military magical machinery, and has produced extraordinary results.

According to the secret experimental assessment of the Imperial Military Department, the military magic machinery possessed by the Candela Empire now is no weaker than or even stronger than the military magic machinery displayed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce eleven years ago.

But no one would think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would stagnate in these eleven years, so His Majesty the Emperor Candela was still cautious and waited for the opportunity.

Just last year, the time finally came.

The initial term of the "Continental Peace Pact" was ten years, but at this time when the term was about to expire, Xu Yi, the guy who single-handedly concluded the "Continental Peace Pact", left the Sainz continent!

Xu was also absent, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce lost their leader, and His Majesty the Emperor Candela, after much deliberation, finally decided to take action.

The attack on the Magic Kingdom of Mana was actually a temptation and a gamble for him.

He wanted to test the true attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce towards the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and also wanted to bet on what kind of reaction and attitude the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would have to respond to the sudden war of the Candela Empire.

As it turned out, he won the bet.

It has been nearly a year since the Candela Empire launched its war against the Magic Kingdom of Mana last year.

But within this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only mobilized major chambers of commerce to lend a helping hand to the civilians involved in the war, but it has not shown any attitude towards the war itself.

This reaction was undoubtedly a very clear signal in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor Candela, as well as many within the empire.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid that it really can't control the situation in the entire Sainz Continent anymore.

Or take it a step further, maybe the new flying chamber of commerce is actually afraid?

In fact, the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been unable to suppress all the countries on the continent, and even the two empires, so it will no longer interfere in the war waged against the Candela Empire as before?

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the Candela Empire has the hope of becoming the most powerful empire in the past that reigned over the entire Sainz continent again?

However, His Majesty the Emperor Candela still could not say for sure.

He still has to wait, waiting for the true attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In the absence of President Xu Yi, all the practices of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot truly represent the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And now that Xu Yi is back, how will he react? )
