"And you just ran back?"

Count Michel narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, who were ragged, even their hair was scorched, and they looked extremely wolfish on their heads, and there was a dangerous cold in their eyes.

The Draal Magician, whose black magic robe had long since turned into a few rags, glanced at the unflashing look on Michelle's face, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Count Michelle, the reason why we are like this is entirely because of the wrong information you have given. The weapons hidden in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's convoy are far more powerful than we imagined, and their leader, Xu Yi, is not a seventh-level magician at all, I'm sure he already has the strength of a ninth-level magician at the very least!"

Count Michelle snorted coldly and squinted at Draal Magician: "What? Are you accusing me?"

The Draal Wizard was furious and was about to speak, but was stopped by Everton, whose armor was black and white with fire magic and electric magic on his body.

"No, Count Michelle, we didn't mean to accuse you. However, the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team is indeed far beyond our estimates. The 200 men I led were the most elite cavalry squad of our legion, but they couldn't even get close to their camp. I think...... I'm afraid this is not what you expected, right?"

Count Michelle was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly.

"That's right, I didn't expect that the strength of the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would be so terrifying. Count Michelle glanced at the mottled marks on the two of them and frowned. "You say that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has developed a magic arrow, and it can also use a magic repeater to fire continuously?"

Everton nodded: "Yes." Ordinary arrows can be stopped by the Draal mage alone. But this magic arrow is also a great threat to magicians. I don't think even Xu made a move. We're afraid we won't be able to break through the defenses of these magic arrows. Storm into the camp. ”

"Magic Arrow......" Count Michelle tapped his fingers on the stool, pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, stood up, and extended his hand to the two of them. "Well, Wizard Draal, General Everton, my intelligence is indeed inaccurate this time. As a result, you have suffered losses, and the operation has failed. However, through Guò's operation, it was clear that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had secretly developed such important information as magic arrows. I think Commander Li Nur must have taken this news very seriously, and I hope you will explain it to him well when you return. ”

"Of course. ”

Half an hour later, Everton and Draal Magicians, who had finished the secret meeting, quietly left Earl Michel's private estate outside Durekton.

Watching the backs of the two disappear into the dark field outside the manor, Count Michelle frowned and fell into deep thought.

It's not the first time that he has cooperated privately with the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sark Kingdom, but Count Michelle is well aware of the extreme dangers involved in this kind of cooperation, so he is very cautious every time he chooses to cooperate.

If it weren't for the deep feeling of the threat posed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Count Michel would definitely not choose to take advantage of the importance that the Kingdom of Sark attaches to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Privately lured the Greedy Wolf Legion to attack, and deliberately induced Count Will to keep the convoy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce out of the city. Create a good opportunity for such a night attack.

Originally, according to Count Michel's idea, as long as Xu Yi was killed and the core force of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was eliminated, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would naturally collapse, thus greatly weakening the support for the princess of Sevigny, so that the princess of Sè Winnie would lose an extremely important and potential supporter from now on, so that her threat to His Royal Highness Prince Eric would be further reduced.

Although Count Michel himself is very optimistic about the prospects of the magic industry advocated by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it is not convenient for him to explicitly support it now given his position.

Anyway, even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is eliminated, as long as His Royal Highness Prince Eric inherits the throne, there will be a chance to redevelop the magic industry on the basis of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the future.

But now the power of the new flying chamber of commerce is much more than Count Michel predicted.

According to the description of the Draal Magician just now, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce only has about fifty guards, and the magic repeater alone actually forced the Draal Magician to open the blue guard as a defense.

What shocked Count Michel even more was that with the magic arrows newly developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the ordinary guards of the mere Draar, a powerful eighth-level magician, could not resist and were forced to escape.

If you compare the strength of the two sides, then it is two hundred well-trained and well-equipped elite cavalry of the Greedy Wolf Legion, with an eighth-level magician, against about fifty ordinary caravan guards of the Shangxin Flying Chamber of Commerce, plus Xu Yi, a powerful magician whose strength is unknown, but according to Dral, who has at least the strength of a ninth-level magician.

If the effects of the mages on both sides are neutralized, there is no doubt that the side of the greedy wolf legion that launched the raid has an absolute advantage in strength.

But in the end, in addition to killing the three patrolling guards at the beginning, the Greedy Wolf Legion didn't even touch the side of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's convoy, but two hundred cavalry were damaged, and only Draal Magician and Everton escaped with their super personal strength.

In the end, this result had to be re-evaluated by Count Michel in his heart.

In the eyes of most people, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has just made a lot of money with its novel magic machinery, but its background and strength are far from being comparable to those old chambers of commerce in the kingdom.

However, Tong Guò's surprise attack failed tonight, and Count Michel found that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may not be as good as those old big chambers of commerce, but its strength should not be underestimated at all.

The New Flyers were able to develop a weapon that threatened even powerful mages in such a short period of time, so what new and exciting things could they develop if they were given a little more time to develop?

Thinking of this, Count Michelle suddenly realized that he had always been a little wrong about the positioning of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Such a chamber of commerce that can always create a miracle is no longer the kind of small chamber of commerce that he thinks can handle at will.

Count Michel pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen and paper. Start writing.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Eric. About Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I have a new building yì ......"

###

Early the next morning, everyone in the convoy got up from their tents just after dawn.

Needless to say, everyone quickly put away all the things with their hands and feet, and after simply nibbling a few mouthfuls of dry food, they all got on the magic locomotive and headed quickly in the direction of Thurwell City.

Something like this happened last night made everyone reluctant to stay here any longer.

In this strange place, perhaps only to the territory of the Count of Satsuma. in order to make everyone feel at ease.

As the convoy departed, Hart led five guards he had personally selected to escort the three captives left behind yesterday, and drove a freight magic locomotive to turn around and return to Bonta City.

According to Xu Yi's instructions, they will not enter any city and stop on the way, try to keep it secretive, return to Bonta City as soon as possible, and report what happened last night to Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny.

Xu Yi was originally worried that something would go wrong on the way to the three captives, but after Isos paid a potion and poured a bowl on each of the three captives, the three captives immediately fell asleep like dead people. It was impossible to make any movement, but it made Hart and the others a lot easier.

After the convoy parted ways. Xu Yi led the rest of the magic locomotives to transport supplies at the highest speed, and it only took one morning to get out of the confines of Lemat City and re-embark on the wide and flat concrete road.

However, to Xu Yi's surprise, this time the convoy finally drove happily on the highway for two hours, but suddenly found that the road ahead was suddenly broken.

The road on the other side of the road, although it looks very wide, is an old dirt and gravel road.

Although the road is fairly flat and in good condition by the standards of dirt and gravel roads, a dirt and gravel road suddenly appeared on the main road connecting the two cities, which still made Xu Yi a little stunned.

"I see, this should be within the reach of Basaru City. Seeing Xu Yi's puzzled face, a human researcher from the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center who was traveling with Xu Yi explained to him: "Batrou City is the poorest city in Northeast Province, and there is no one. ”

"Are you so poor that you can't even afford to build a road?" Xu Yi asked in amazement.

"Well...... If you really want to fix it, you should be able to fix it. The research institute said with some embarrassment: "However, the old lord of Basaru City, Count Longli, has always had a good reputation, and it is said that he does not want to increase the burden on the civilians in the city by building roads, so he refuses to raise funds to build roads like other cities." ”

Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking that this decision might be praised from the perspective of ordinary people, but from the perspective of a city lord, it was clearly stupid.

The cost of building a road is at most hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and although this will bring a certain financial burden to the city, the benefits of the construction of the road will far exceed the investment for the whole city.

Such examples abound in many cities around Bonta City, and the investment is a good deal in the long run.

This Earl of Longli is so short-sighted, Xu Yi can't help but despise it.

"By the way, you just said 'old city lord'? Does that mean that now Batlu City has changed to a new city lord?" Xu Yi noticed a problem.

"Well, in fact, the old city lord is the old Earl Longli. He died at the beginning of the year due to illness, and now his son inherits his hereditary earldom and castle lordship. ”

"That's it......" Xu Yi nodded, thinking that the information he had obtained before was that there were three cities in the Northeast Province that had clearly expressed their support for His Royal Highness Prince Eric, namely Lemat City, which was rejected by the convoy yesterday, and now this Batru City and another Durekton City.

If it is said that the support of His Royal Highness Prince Eric is the deceased old Earl Longley, then will the attitude of the little Earl Longli, who has taken over the title and the position of city lord, change? (To be continued......
