Chapter 110 The Hat on the Head of the Principality of Standing
Earl Wei Lun could not raise any objections to Xu Yi's negotiation terms.
Because after the war between the two sides, the losses suffered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be fully borne, and the difficulties encountered can indeed be found in other ways to solve them, but the losses he suffered cannot be made up for at all.
Originally, because he defeated Earl Fran and other several lords in succession, he had more than 30,000 soldiers capable of fighting. In terms of the number of soldiers alone, he was already one of the few lords in the Duke of Standing after the Grand Duke of Standing. .
And when it comes to combat power, it may even surpass Grand Duke Standing.
But after the war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he found that he had nothing to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It doesn't matter if he can't attack Xu Yi's private territory, even he can't even completely block the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he has nothing to do with the sabotage team sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The 500 human guards led by Hart were invincible in Earl Weilun's territory. In just half a month, Earl Weilun lost thousands of elite soldiers and many important supply points.
,wan,,ba, .nsb.om
If the two sides continue to stand in this stalemate, Earl Wei Lun even believes that sooner or later, he will be tortured to death by the five hundred guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the most important loss brought about by the war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was that he could no longer obtain any supplies of military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
While fighting with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the four lords united in the south are still continuously launching offensives on the newly occupied territory of Earl Weilun.
At the beginning, Earl Wei Lun could easily block it, and even counterattacked.
But after several emergency instructions. Earl Weilun discovered a serious problem.
Because of the war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The supply of military magic machinery has been lost. Coupled with the huge consumption in the battle, the military magic machinery that can be used for continuous combat in the hands of his subordinates can't last long.
According to estimates, the materials in his hands can only last for another week at most.
Unlike him, the four lords who fought against him had already hoarded a large amount of military magic machinery supplies.
Every time he thinks that he will lose the help of military magic machinery, but the four lords can still use it, Earl Weilun's heart is immediately filled with chills.
He knew better than any other lord in the Principality of Standing how terrifying the combat effectiveness of military magic machinery could bring to soldiers. Once this happened, his subordinates would definitely not be able to stop the attack of the four lords. And if there is no supply of military magic machinery. He can only retreat steadily, not only the newly occupied territory can only be fully retreated, maybe... no, the four lords will definitely not stop, they will continue to attack, and they will not stop until they completely defeat him.
Earl Wei Lun saw this situation very clearly, so even if Xu Yi didn't come to negotiate with him, he already had the idea to negotiate with Xu Yi on his own initiative.
Although Xu Yi's conditions were excessive, compared to his fate of being defeated and dying after being occupied by those four lords. But it is undoubtedly much easier to accept.
What's more, Xu Yi was making these requests at the same time. He also proposed to Earl Wei Lun an assistance condition that he did not expect, but which was also his dream.
As long as Earl Wei Lun fully agrees to the other conditions that Xu also proposed, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will prioritize Earl Wei Lun as an important partner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the future, and provide him with priority in providing various military magic machines, and open them to him. Various new military magic machines newly developed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
When he heard this condition, Earl Wei Lun, who was still angry at Xu Yi's various demands, instantly lost his anger, and without much consideration, he fully agreed to all the conditions proposed by Xu Yi.
Because the so-called "important partner" in Xu Yi's mouth means that when Xu Yi provides all kinds of military magic machinery to all the lords in the Duchy of Standing, he will give priority to Earl Weilun, but put other lords in the duchy. Think about it later.
This means that Earl Weilun will once again have an absolute advantage in equipment when facing other lords.
And as long as he has an absolute advantage in equipment such as military magic machinery, how can the other lords in the Principality of Standing be his opponents.
As long as he could defeat all the other lords in the principality, what was the point of agreeing to the little conditions that Xu Yi had proposed now?
So Earl Wei Lun and Xu Yi had a pleasant conversation and initially confirmed the content of the armistice agreement.
According to the armistice agreement, after a complete ceasefire between the two sides, Earl Willon will cede as much as nearly 600 square kilometers of land in the north of the existing territory to Xu Yi as compensation, and must also leave all the people in this territory, as a complete cession.
After owning this territory, Xu Yi's private territory became a very long and narrow strip, just across the north of the Principality of Standing.
This territory borders the Endless Sea to the west, and the border of the Principality of Standing and the Kingdom of Rulson to the east. If you look at it from the map, it looks like a hat on the head of the Principality of Standing. The road to the north is completely covered.
But Earl Waylon didn't care much about this.
The Principality of Standing has always been extremely blocked due to its terrain, and has very little contact with other countries on the Sainz continent. Even if the road leading to the north is completely blocked, it will not have any impact on Earl Waylon.
What's more, this territory was only divided to Xu Yi, and it still belonged to the Principality of Standing in name. If the Principality of Standing wanted to enter the Black Rice Wasteland through the north, Xu Yi had no reason to refuse.
Besides, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's manpower is limited after all, so it is not a problem to hold the previous territory. It is simply impossible to hold such a narrow and long territory without a natural moat as a defense.
So when Earl Weilun signed the armistice agreement, he felt very relaxed.
In his opinion, even if Xu Yi asked him to keep all the free people in the territory this time, it would still be impossible to pose any threat, on the contrary, it might become a failure.
Earl Weilun is very familiar with the situation of the people in his territory.
All the hard-covered men who can be used for fighting in the territory have now been signed into the army by him. Most of the rest are old, weak, sick, women and children. will become a drag.
Xu Yi left these useless people behind, which would actually increase his burden.
When Xu Yi left, Earl Weilun even hypocritically exhorted Xu Yi with a heavy face, asking Xu Yi to treat the people he left behind kindly.
Xu Yi agreed without hesitation, but Earl Weilun couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
This Xu Yi, does he really think he has taken advantage of it? It's ridiculous!

"I think Earl William must think that he has taken advantage of it." Xu Yi handed Kennard the armistice agreement in his hand. "This guy who only has war in his head must not have thought that I want this territory and these people not for fighting at all."
"How can a guy like him understand your thoughts, Mr. President?" Kennard laughed, took the armistice agreement and read it carefully, nodded and said: "Very well, Mr. President, in this way, Your private domain can be connected to the Black Rice Wasteland and the Moon Shadow Tribe, and the easternmost point can be connected to the Luerson Kingdom. As long as the Silu Highway is completed, the products of our chamber of commerce can enter the Luerson Kingdom very smoothly. and the rest of the continent." …
"This is not the most important thing. Now the situation within the Lampari Kingdom has changed. The biggest obstacle that our chamber of commerce encountered before no longer exists. Land transportation is not a problem. Instead, the Lampari Kingdom often It is more convenient. The most important thing to ask for such a territory is to connect the black rice wasteland with our existing site, so that the overall development plan will be much easier." Xu Yidao.
Hearing Xu Yi mention the internal situation of the Lampari Kingdom, Kennard glanced at Xu Yi with a slightly strange expression, hesitated, and asked: "Master President, why do you refuse to participate in the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Seweney?" What about the ceremony? Our chamber of commerce will definitely carry out more and more in-depth cooperation with the Kingdom in the future, and taking this opportunity to deepen the relationship with Her Majesty the Queen will be very helpful to us."
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at the direction of the Lampari Kingdom, then shook his head slowly: "Just treat it as me for a while."
Hearing the complex emotions revealed in Xu Yi's tone, Kennard's expression moved, he looked at Xu Yi, and laughed.
"Well, it's rare for you to be willful, Mr. President, so I have nothing to say."
Xu Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I can be willful in this respect, but I can't be willful in your affairs. It's getting late, you pack up and go to Anweimar. Alan The Earl must be waiting for you to go home and reunite with him, if I keep you again, Earl Allen will definitely blame me."
Kennard shook his head: "Father has always supported me to stay by your side, even if I don't go back to spend the New Year with him, he won't say anything. The one who really has a grudge against you, President, is Sophia..."
Hearing the name "Sophia", Xu Yi suddenly smiled wryly.
"Isn't Sophia already engaged? If you persuade her for me, just treat me as her fantasy. It's better for her to forget about me completely in the future."
"If you can just forget it, then things will be much simpler." Kennard sighed softly. "Master President, I know Sophia's character very well. She values things she really cares about much more than ordinary people. If she does something surprising because of this, it's not uncommon."
Xu Yi looked at Kennard wonderingly: "What does she want to do?"
Kennard shook his head: "I can't guess. I just remind you of the possibility."
Xu Yi thought for a while, frowned and shook his head.
Don't talk about the little girl's mind, most people in this world can't figure it out.
But no matter how bold Sophia is, what can she really do?
