Chapter 156: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment
The news that Grand Magician Camilla has mastered the laws of space and has broken through the boundaries of Great Magicians is only known to Grand Magician Camilla, Grand Magician Truqi and Xu Yi, and has not spread out.
Although this was already a fait accompli, Grand Magician Camilla felt that it was a joke to precipitously declare that he had become a Magister without gaining the approval of the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild.
Therefore, after strictly ordering Xu Yi to keep it secret, and only SΓΉ Steele was allowed to be told at most, Grand Magician Camilla quietly and alone embarked on a journey to the city in the sky, where the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild was located.
After sending off Archmage Camilla, Archmage Truoch returned to Bonta City to continue his studies.
Because of the breakthrough of Grand Magician Camilla, he is now more interested in studying magical machinery.
If before he chose to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and participate in research out of gratitude for changing the living environment of the residents of Carrasga Island, now he is working hard to improve his magical strength.
Different mentalities, different motivations, and the results will certainly not be different.
Xu also believes that the Grand Magician of Truchi will definitely make a breakthrough in the research and development of the fire-based magic engine soon.
And he waited quietly for the good news from Grand Magician Camilla and Grand Magician Truqi respectively.
Of course, Xu Yi is not completely idle.
Discussions with Severny about the Demon-Replenishing Station continued.
In this matter, Sevigny showed her great courage.
Xu Yi originally just proposed to build a demon replenishment station first, and after a period of trial operation. And then hype it up.
However, after agreeing with Xu Yi on some technology transfers. Straight to the plate. It was decided to build ten demon-replenishing stations in the Lampari Kingdom in one go.
And from the location of the ten demon-replenishing stations marked by Sevini on the map of the Lampari Kingdom, it can be seen that Sevini has thought carefully about this matter.
Because these ten demonic stations are all built in extremely critical locations, and they are all places where the running magic locomotives continue to replenish.
Once these ten magic stations are completed, although it cannot be said that they can sit back and relax in the land of Lampari, they can at least solve the power supply problem of most magic locomotives.
For Sevigny's bold plan, Xu Yi naturally strongly supported it.
If possible, he would like to roll out the new energy standard in the Lampari Kingdom now, and even in the Kingdom of Roursun and several other countries that have been in contact with the New Flying Chamber.
If this good foundation can be laid in these countries. It will be of great help to Xu Yi to deepen the foundation of the magic industry system in these countries.
Of course, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step.
Xu Yi's primary goal is to promote it in the Lampari Kingdom, but for other countries, it will be a matter for the future.
After discussing with Sevigny, Xu Yi's affairs in Anwemar City were over.
However, just as Xu Yi and Sevini signed a preliminary agreement on the establishment of a demon mending station, and planned to return to the Duchy of Stantin with Steele, Janis and others, they suddenly received shocking bad news.
The Anglo and Archduke of Velun are at full war.
###
Three days later, Xu Yi appeared at the junction of the Black Rice Wasteland and the Duchy of Stantin with a heavy face.
Hart, the captain of the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, who had been waiting here for a long time, greeted him.
"What's the situation now?" Xu Yi glanced at the soldiers under Grand Duke Wei Lun who were guarding the intersection on the border line of the Duchy of Stantin in the distance. Shen Sheng asked.
"Not so good. Hart shook his head. "Grand Duke Weilun has now reoccupied all the territory that was ceded to you before, except for the area where our main chamber of commerce is located. Now he has cut off all roads from our main base to the outside world. The main base was surrounded by him with heavy troops, and he couldn't break through at all. β
"Hmph, this guy must have suffered the loss last time, and he doesn't dare to take us lightly. Xu Yi snorted coldly, and suddenly realized a problem in Hart's words. "You just said that he blocked all the roads leading to the outside world from our main base?
Hart smiled bitterly: "At the same time as Grand Duke Weilun launched an attack, the First Fleet of the Sark Kingdom went down the coastline north of the Black Rice Wasteland, blocking the coastline leading from our main base to the outside. Although the Lord of Smilton led many of his men to the rescue, he was too far apart in numbers to break through the blockade. β
"Has the Sark Kingdom joined in?" Xu Yi glanced in the direction of the western coast and sneered: "I said that why did the Grand Duke of Weilun suddenly become so bold, it turned out that he was secretly colluding with the Sark Kingdom. β
Hart sighed: "Grown, I don't think this is the main reason, the biggest problem is actually that we are too careless. β
"Oh?"
"If it weren't for our carelessness, Count Weilun would not have been able to launch such a surprise attack, and take the opportunity to snatch all the large number of military magic machines that our Chamber of Commerce had just produced, and it would be impossible to completely suppress us in the current offensive. Without the help of these military magic machines, Grand Duke Weilun's subordinates were nothing to mention. β
Xu Yi nodded, thinking that Grand Duke Weilun had obviously planned Zhou Xiang a long time ago, and was waiting for this opportunity to suddenly launch in his absence.
Because of his absence, the reaction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was bound to be slower, which led him to successfully seize those important military supplies and thus gain an advantage in firepower.
Obviously, he learned a lesson from the last conflict with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even the importance of military magic machinery to the combat effectiveness of the troops, so the first target was placed on these resources.
"Hart, judging from what you just described, our main base should be fine, right?"
"Of course. Hart straightened his chest and said proudly: "Although our escort team only has more than a thousand people, even if Grand Duke Weilun sends tens of thousands of people. I will never be able to break through the Abdant River! Even I led two hundred men to break through. He can't stop him at all!"
Xu Yi couldn't help it.
Although Hart said it very arrogantly. However, he was able to lead a mere two hundred guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of people under Grand Duke Wei Lun, I am afraid that it was not because of his heroic fighting with these guards, but on something else.
As soon as this thought arose in his mind, a black shadow suddenly flew quickly in the distant sky.
A moment later, this black shadow flew above Xu Yi and his party with a huge buzzing sound.
When I looked up, it was a medium-sized magic airship.
The magic airship slowly fell, holding steady not far from Xu Yi.
The hatch opened, and a crowd of merfolk rushed out.
Xu Yi looked at it. It was discovered that these people were all ordinary farmers from Xinfei Farm.
At this time, they were all ragged and haggard, and it was obvious that they had lived a very unstable life some time ago.
After seeing Xu Yi, these ordinary peasants, who were originally stared at and tired on their faces, suddenly seemed to be re-injected, their eyes lit up at the same time, and their faces also showed involuntary information smiles, and they hurriedly surrounded them.
"Lord, you're back!"
"Great! The grown-up is back!"
"Haha, the elder is back. That damn Grand Duke of Weilun must not end well!"
"Lord, you must avenge us!"
......
Xu Yi nodded to everyone. Zhengse said: "Rest assured, you are all employees of the Chamber of Commerce, and your interests are the interests of the Chamber of Commerce." Now that you have been bullied by Grand Duke Weilun, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely seek justice for you. No matter what losses you have, the Chamber of Commerce will compensate you accordingly. β
"But my family ......," a middle-aged woman with a dusty face cried. "My family has been killed by those damn guys......!
Everyone around was gloomy at the same time.
The sudden attack of Grand Duke Wei Lun caught everyone by surprise, and these people who were assigned to the territory obtained by Xu Yixin and were in charge of reclamation, and almost all of them did not escape.
The dozen or so of them are still alive, or because they saw the opportunity quickly and were lucky, they just happened to meet the rescue team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, they were afraid that they would all hide in the hands of Grand Duke Weilun's subordinates like their families.
Xu Yi took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to compensate for human life, but I can promise you that I will definitely let those damn guys pay for their blood debts!"
After comforting these people, Xu Yi asked Hart to select some guards and escort them into the Black Rice Wasteland.
According to the arrangement, these people will be temporarily sent to Heimi City and temporarily settled down under the arrangement of the factory under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As for the rest of the matter, we will have to wait until the Grand Duke of Weilun is resolved.
Seeing these people go away under the escort of the guards, Xu Yi turned his head to look at Evita, the last one to come out of the airship, and saw that she looked tired and pale, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
This girl with a peaceful personality has been shuttling through the chaotic battlefield all these years, relying on the magic airship to constantly search for survivors, and she must be tired.
Seeing Xu Yi's gaze sweeping, Evita showed him a slightly weak smile.
"President, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to bring out the technicians you value the most in the Chamber of Commerce first, but when I saw these people, I couldn't refuse their call for help......"
Xu Yi waved his hand: "You did a good job, you don't need to apologize to me." With that, he held out his hand to Evita. "Since you've been wandering around the sky these days, you must have gained something, right?"
"Hmm. Evita pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from her bosom and handed it over.
Xu Yi took it and opened it to take a look, and found that it was a map of the northern part of the Duchy of Stantin.
However, unlike a normal map, this map has a lot of special markings.
"President, these are all the troop strength of Count Willon that I have found out. These are the warehouses where he stores military supplies. There are also these places, although I am not sure, but I guess that some military supplies should also be stored......"
Xu Yi patiently listened to Evita explain the various markings on this map, clenched his right fist, and smashed a fist on the map that was paralyzed on the ground.
"Very well, Evita, you will definitely take the most credit for defeating Grand Duke Weilun this time. β
With that, he straightened up, looked around to the left and right, and raised his voice and shouted, "Brothers, since I have returned, then...... The counterattack begins!" (To be continued......)
