Chapter 110 Attack on the Mainland
Earl Dean Dempsey, the lord of Metro City, could hardly believe his ears when he heard his subordinates report that there was an enemy invasion.
Enemy invasion?
As the current patriarch of the Demps family, this is the first time Dean Demps has heard of the word "enemy" since he took over as the lord of Metro City 26 years ago.
Even going back to the more than 400 years of history when the Dempsey family entrusted this land, there has never been such a thing as foreign enemies invading Metro City.
You know, Metro City is the largest city near the border of the southwestern province of the Kandela Empire! Known as a pearl on the border of the Southwest Province!
Such a high-profile city, how dare someone dare to come and invade without knowing life or death?
Or to put it more bluntly, someone dared to come and march into the territory of the Candela Empire?
In the nearly thousand-year history of the Candela Empire, apart from those rare periods of decline, in the rest of the time, apart from the Maro Empire, which country on the Sains Continent dared to eat like this? Usually invade the Candela Empire?
It's just life and death!
"Where did the enemy come from? Did you find out? And what do the border guards do? Didn't they stop those guys?" Earl Dempsey asked with a gloomy face while walking outside, ready to give orders.
He is not the kind of useless noble city lord, he naturally understands that since the opponent has the guts to invade Metro City, at least he has a certain amount of confidence in his own strength.
If he didn't deal with it properly, even if Metro City didn't fall, he would not be able to accept the fact that Metro City suffered a little loss because of the flames of war.
Hearing his question, the face of the subordinate who came to report the letter turned extremely ugly. After swallowing a mouthful of spit, he replied with a wry smile: "The investigation understands. According to the news from the spies, the enemy came from the southwest. Yes, hanging... the flag of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce..."
Earl Dempsey stopped abruptly, his eyes widened with astonishment.
"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Is there any mistake! Why are they? No. Where did they have the guts to dare to invade our Candela Empire? They are just a Chamber of Commerce!"
His subordinates smiled wryly and were speechless.
He is also full of doubts about this question, how can he answer it for Earl Puli.
"No..." Earl Dempsey shivered suddenly, but suddenly thought of some rumors about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the circle of imperial aristocrats.
Just half a year ago, most nobles in the empire knew about Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Most of them also come from those household magic machines that can bring various conveniences to life.
When the nobles get together to discuss the topic of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, most of them will still have heated discussions on the various high-end magic cars produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and die for their ability to buy a specially customized magic car from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. boast.
As for the performance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of military strength, although the nobles of the Candela Empire have heard about it, most of them only know that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can produce some powerful military magic machines. It's very useful on the battlefield.
How easy and powerful these military magic machines are, but except for the nobles under the military department, not many people really know.
And now, half a year later, in the war that the Candela Empire once again invaded the Rulson Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has truly demonstrated its unparalleled strength.
The direct participation of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually led to the defeat of the entire 180,000 army of the Candela Empire in less than two months. They finally declared the invasion a failure and retreated to the country helplessly.
After that, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stirred up troubles in other places on the Sains Continent, but the Empire just kept silent. No sound ever happened.
This allowed all the nobles in the empire to recognize the fact that the Imperial Army had obviously admitted that it was incapable of defeating the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so it remained silent in front of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So for the first time, all the nobles of the Candela Empire really knew the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and when discussing the topic of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they mostly focused on the various weird military magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. .
Although Earl Dempsey is only a lord nobleman in a remote territory in the southwestern province of the empire, he is still a nobleman after all, and he is still very sensitive to these news.
So he already knew the military strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from various news, but he never thought that one day he would directly face the powerful strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After all, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce after all. No matter how powerful his military force is, and how irresistible his guards are, how could he come to invade the Kendela Empire?
Earl Dempsey was full of doubts, but now was not the time for doubts.
He frowned and thought about it for a while. He waved to his subordinates, signaling him to get closer.
"Immediately send someone to the Governor's Mansion for help."
His hands were taken aback.
help? As the most important city on the southwestern border of the Candela Empire, Metro City has 30,000 regular imperial troops stationed there as guards. Recently, it has been equipped with many self-produced military magic machines developed by the military department. In terms of defense strength alone , can be regarded as the strongest city in the Southwest Province except for the location of the Governor's Mansion.
Why did the city lord immediately think of asking for help when he heard that the enemy was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
Although the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are said to be quite strong. But it's not too strong, right?
Seeing that his subordinates were still in a daze, Earl Dempsey glared and shouted angrily, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up!"
His men were startled, he responded quickly, turned around and left in a hurry.
Earl Dempsey didn't pause at all, he left the City Lord's Mansion directly, took a magic car he had just bought four months ago, and hurried to the garrison camp outside the city.
However, before he reached the city gate, he suddenly heard several astonishing explosions outside the city, which made him feel buzzing in the magic car, and his scalp tingled.
Earl Dempsey looked up in horror, and saw that the sky outside the city had been dyed red by the dazzling flames that exploded, as if the clouds were all burned.
After staying there for two seconds, Earl Dempsey suddenly shuddered and reacted instantly.
The direction of the flames is not the direction of the garrison camp outside the city!
Earl Dempsey hurriedly opened the car door and rushed up the city wall beside the city gate like crazy. Lift your eyes and look into the distance.
About three kilometers away from the city was the camp of the 30,000 regular Imperial Army stationed near Metro City.
But looking from a distance now, the camp was completely surrounded by flames, and only thunderous explosions and faint screams could be heard from afar.
Earl Dempsey stared blankly for a while. He grabbed the Metro City garrison officer who rushed over after hearing the news.
"Immediately send someone over there to check the situation, as fast as possible! Do you understand?"
The garrison officer's chubby face was covered with cold sweat, he nodded repeatedly, and quickly turned around to arrange the manpower.
Earl Dempsey turned his head to look in the direction of the camp in the distance, feeling a chill in his heart.
Although he has long heard that the total number of guards under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only about 20,000. But he had no doubt that with the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's guards, they could easily deal with the 30,000 garrisons.
What really chilled him was that he had just received the news of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's invasion. In the blink of an eye, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had already come to Metro City, and even now it had come into contact with Metro City's biggest support.
Such a speed of action is simply appalling.
He could instantly tell that before the governor's mansion sent reinforcements, the other side must have already dealt with those garrisons.
If they came to attack Metro City next, what should he resist?
Perhaps in response to the speculation in Earl Dempsey's mind, a few minutes later. From the garrison camp shrouded in flames and thick smoke in the distance, a group of strange-looking magical locomotives suddenly rushed out, and drove towards Metro City at a mighty speed.
At a glance, this team is probably composed of hundreds of different types of magic motorcycles, but with the garrison camp behind them in flames, it makes people feel like they are devils who rushed out of hell. frightened.
Earl Dempsey took the binoculars handed over by the garrison officer, and saw at a glance that the flags flying above the magic locomotives were the famous new flying flags with half wings of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"It's really these guys!" Earl Temple gritted his teeth hard, his face uncertain.
The 30,000 garrisons outside the city can no longer be counted on. Now there are only 5,000 garrisons left in Metro City and 2,000 private guards from the City Lord's Mansion. The total is only 7,000 garrisons.
Although the city wall is also equipped with some self-made magic artillery provided by the military. But how can these imitations of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic cannons compete with the genuine products of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
However, as the lord of Metro City, he couldn't just give up resistance.
Otherwise, he will be held accountable by the military in the future, relying on this alone. He will be directly deprived of his noble status, and even spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Damn it! After all, this place is our Dempsey family's territory, how can we just give up so easily!"
Earl Dempsey cursed viciously in his heart, turned his head and ordered in a deep voice to the City Guard garrison beside him: "Close all the city gates and prepare to defend!"
The garrison officer looked in panic at the various magical locomotives flying the flag of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce approaching aggressively from a distance, thinking that even the 30,000 regular army could not resist the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. With their thousands of guards, can they stop it?
"Why are you in a daze?" Earl Dempsey kicked the garrison officer's ass. "Let me tell you, if you dare to fight and lose, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"
The garrison officer's expression was serious, and he quickly restrained all the expressions on his face, saluted Earl Dempsey, and prepared to go to the city defense.
But just as he turned around, before he took two steps, he heard the whistle of his subordinates piercing through the air from a distance.
Turning his head to look, he found several fiery red lights flying from the formation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the distance, which had already spanned a long distance of more than two kilometers in an instant, and just hit the tall city wall of Metro City.
"Boom boom boom boom—"
Countless violent explosions sounded in the ears of Earl Dempsey and the garrison officer, and then they discovered with a look of shock that the city wall... had collapsed... (~^~)
