Chapter 109: Armistice Negotiations
For the people of the Lampari Kingdom, it should be very good news that Her Royal Highness Queen Sevini has finally ascended the throne and become the sixth queen in the history of the Lampari Kingdom.
Although the kingdom of Lampari has had many disasters in the past two years, with the successive deaths of the two kings, and a civil war this year, the final result has been good for most people.
Her Majesty Queen Sevini has always had a good reputation in the Lampari Kingdom, and now that she is the most honorable Queen, she will surely bring a happy change to the Lampari Kingdom.
Moreover, Her Majesty Queen Sevini has always been very supportive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and her personal relationship with Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is also very good.
Now that the Lampari Kingdom is under the control of Her Majesty Queen Sevigny, she will definitely bring the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce back to the Lampari Kingdom and lead the Lampari Kingdom to prosperity again.
However, the vast majority of people in the Lampari Kingdom don't know that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually very busy right now, and I'm afraid that they won't be able to return to the Lampari Kingdom for a while.
Although Xu Yi transferred 500 guards from the Chamber of Commerce's escort team, using the super mobility of the magic armored transport vehicle, he went back and forth in Count Weilun's territory, destroying several garrison points of Count Weilun, causing him to lose at least 2,000 subordinates, and causing the people of his entire territory to fall into chaos, but 500 people were too few after all.
For Lord Weilun's current huge territory, which is even as high as tens of thousands of square kilometers, it is simply impossible for a mere five hundred people to completely occupy it.
Xu also sent this team for purpose. It's just a lesson for Lord Weilun.
The most important thing. But it's a follow-up after that.
The last day of the year 3874 in the continental calendar. Instead of staying at home to accompany Steele and Freya to welcome the New Year, Xu Yi drove the magic car at high speed on the road leading to Lord Velon.
On this trip, he planned to negotiate with Lord Weilun, and the purpose was to re-stabilize the situation in Lord Weilun's territory.
The chaos in Lord Weilun's territory is actually not in the interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because this will hinder the transportation of various resources to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from other places, and the Xinfei Business Association will also be hindered from wanting to ship products abroad.
Before he had enough strength to annex all of the territories of Lord Weilun, Xu Yi preferred to coexist peacefully with Lord Weilun.
Like the previous situation, it is a situation that Xu Yi is very satisfied with. But it was destroyed by the greed and ambition of Lord Weilun.
And now, Xu Yi has come to negotiate with Lord Weilun to make him pay the corresponding price for his greed and ambition.
The magic car suddenly jolted violently, so shocked that Xu Yi even bounced out of his seat, and almost hit the roof of the magic car.
Xu Yi glanced at the situation on the road in front of him and couldn't help frowning.
He hadn't noticed a pothole in the road just now because he was thinking about the problem, but now when he looked closely, he found that the road surface in front of him had become a pothole, and it looked extremely miserable.
Judging by the situation with these potholes. Xu Yi judged that the Chamber of Commerce escort team led by Hart should have fought with Lord Weilun's subordinates here.
The potholes of these grounds, judging by the radius of the shape. It was supposed to be left behind after the explosion of the small flame bomb fired by the small magic bazooka carried by the guards.
Judging from the dense range of traces left on the ground, Hart and the others should have encountered a large group of enemies, and this time they will fire such a dense number of small flame bombs at once.
Xu Yi couldn't help but frown deeply while carefully avoiding these potholes on the road.
It took the Amrri Chamber of Commerce a full year to build this road, and it is arguably the most important transportation artery in the Earldom of Wilun.
But now that this section is destroyed by the fighting, it will affect the smooth flow of the entire road.
When you look at both sides of the road, you can see several houses that have been burned to the ground.
This is supposed to be the residence of the locals, and it seems that it was also affected by this battle.
Obviously, because of the war between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Count of Weilun, the lives of the locals were also very severe.
Seeing all kinds of miserable scenes along the way, the expression on Xu Yi's face became more and more gloomy.
If he had a choice, he would certainly like everyone to be able to live together peacefully, and everyone would concentrate on working together on the magic machine, and with the convenience brought by the magic machine, the lives of all people would be greatly improved.
But now, because of Lord Weilun's greed and ambition, these civilians who were originally living a stable life are also involved, which really makes Xu Yi very angry in his heart.
What made him even angrier was that he had no choice at all.
It is impossible for him to agree to Lord Weilun's unreasonable demands, and it is impossible for him to choose to surrender directly to Lord Weilun.
So in the end, the only option was to start a war with Lord Weilun.
After driving over the ruined road, the Magic Saloon re-entered the smooth road, gradually accelerating, and after only half an hour, it came to a stop in front of a heavily guarded manor that was known from the very good looks.
As soon as Xu Yi got out of the car, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers immediately surrounded him.
Xu Yi's gaze swept over these soldiers, and he snorted coldly: "Go and tell Count SΓΉ Weilun, just say that Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is here." β
"Xu Yi?"
The soldiers were all startled, and involuntarily raised the weapons in their hands and pointed at Xu Yi together.
"Stop!" A soldier who looked like a leader suddenly shouted, stopped the soldiers' movements, looked Xu Yi up and down, hesitated and asked, "Xu ...... President Xu, ...... you Is there anything you have here?"
Xu Yi smiled at him: "I want to have a good talk with Lord Earl, go and report it for me." β
The soldiers looked at each other.
Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can say that Count Weilun has started a full-scale war, and Count Weilun has been passively beaten, but Xu Yi suddenly came to talk to Count Weilun......
What does he want to talk about?
The leader thought for a moment. Nodding: "Wait a minute. β
After that, he explained to the subordinates around him. Turning around, he hurried into the manor.
Xu Yi smiled at the nervous soldiers around him. Sit on the front cover of the magic car, take a leisurely posture, and wait quietly.
He was sure that Count Veron would definitely agree to negotiate with him.
The team led by Hart was completely invincible in Count Veron's territory, and while defeating Count Veron's countless subordinates, he didn't even have a single injured person.
Count Wei Lun has no way to deal with them at all, and now that Xu Yiken comes to negotiate, he will only ask for it.
Really. A moment later, a person who looked like a housekeeper in the manor trotted out, glanced at Xu Yi with a complicated expression, and then respectfully invited him in.
After seeing Count Weilun in the main hall of the manor, Xu Yi was surprised to find that Count Weilun had lost a lot of weight.
Xu Yi has known Count Weilun for more than three years, and his impression of him has always been that of a fat head and big ears, and his face is full of oil.
And now Count Weilun, the whole person has obviously lost weight, although he is not slim. But it was much more symmetrical, and one face changed from round to square. On the contrary, it looks a lot more majestic.
Of course, this majesty is also somewhat related to his watery face.
Seeing Xu Yi walking in under the leadership of the housekeeper, Count Weilun's face became even heavier, and he said coldly: "Xu Yi, you are so bold. How dare you come here alone, believe it or not, I'll kill you directly!"
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, you don't dare." β
Earl Wei Lun raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You dare to say that I don't dare......!
Halfway through his words, Count Veron's throat seemed to be suddenly blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything for the rest of his words.
Xu Yi looked at him with a smile, looking like he was in a good mood.
Earl Wei Lun stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, and after a long while, he suddenly softened like a deflated ball, sighed deeply, and waved his hand to the butler.
After the butler stepped back, Count Wei Lun looked at Xu Yi again, and his eyes became much calmer.
"President Xu, are you here to negotiate with me?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Lord Earl is really an understanding person. Yes, in the present situation, I think the Earl should also understand, that it is not good for both of us. β
Count Veron said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want to do?"
"It's simple, let's stop fighting. Xu Yi spread out his hand. "Since it is not good for us to continue the war, of course we should choose an armistice. β
"Do you say stop?" snorted Count Veron. "Your men are doing all kinds of evil in my territory, do you want to leave it at that?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "Lord Earl, I still want to go back as soon as possible to prepare for the New Year with my wife and children, so I don't want to waste time on this meaningless battle of words." I have come to ask you for an armistice, and what is your reply?"
Count Wei Lun was choked by Xu Yi's unceremonious words, his face turned red, and he wanted to be angry, but seeing Xu Yi's indifferent expression, he knew that it was pointless to be angry.
After thinking about it, Count Weilun suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted coldly: "Okay, I accept the truce." But Chairman Xu, should you compensate our territory for the losses suffered during this time?"
Xu Yi shook his head again: "Lord Earl, you are mistaken. It should be you who compensate us for the loss, not us who compensate you. β
"What are you kidding!" Count Willon was furious, and Huo Di stood up: "My men haven't even stepped into your territory, what do you have to lose?"
"Absolutely. During this time, many resources that were supposed to be shipped to our chamber of commerce have been delayed, and the products shipped out by our chamber of commerce have also been hindered, and our chamber of commerce has suffered huge losses as a result. Do you think you shouldn't pay compensation, Lord Earl?"
"Fart!" Count Willon finally scolded angrily. "You're just making less money, but what about me? How many people have died?"
"This is a war you provoked, so the losses should have been borne by you, and it has nothing to do with me. Xu Yi said coldly. "Lord Earl, if you are not willing to accept my terms, it is very simple, I have many other ways to bring resources in and goods out, but do you have other ways to resist the attacks of other lords in the principality?"
Count Veron opened his mouth, but the class could not speak.
After a long while, he collapsed on the chair and said to Xu Yi dejectedly: "Okay, say your request......
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, first of all, I ask for a larger territory ......" (to be continued......)
