Chapter 159 The Situation Is Settled (End of Volume Four "The Throne")

An hour later, on the sea about 50 kilometers northwest of Hemi Port, there were huge pieces of wood floating everywhere.

Several large ships that were not completely silent were changing and sinking on the sea at this time, bringing out several huge vortexes, sucking in all the surrounding sawdust and the soldiers of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of Sark who hadn't escaped yet. The bottomless bottomless sea.

The original blue sea water was dyed into a miserable color of blood red mixed with scorched black, which represented that the most elite squadron of the first fleet of the Kingdom of Sark that passed through this sea area majestically just now has become The traces of history disappeared without a trace.

Floating in the sky were a few senior magicians who came with the First Fleet and belonged to the Ministry of King Sac, all of them looked at the sea below in disbelief, looking at the floating sea, as if Zhan Wing, which was as huge as a mountain, was shocked.

When Zhanchi first appeared in front of everyone, they were only amazed at the size of the ship, and they were shocked that the whole body of the ship was actually made of metal.

When they recognized that this ship should be the huge magic ship belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mentioned in the intelligence, they were immediately ready to attack.

But they never imagined that when Zhanchi was two or three kilometers away from the front ship, suddenly a large group of flames burst out from Zhanchi, and then they saw overwhelming, A magic rocket projectile dragging a powerful magic light flew from the Wings.

Under the attack of such dense magic rockets, no one can survive.

The ships of the First Fleet of the Sark Kingdom are all made of wood, although compared with the ships used by ordinary fishermen, they have been strengthened in terms of fire prevention and impact resistance. But after being hit by these magic rockets. But immediately suffered extremely serious damage.

Just the first round of attacks. The proud ships of the First Fleet of the Sark Kingdom lost their combat effectiveness in an instant.

And when the second round of magic rockets flew over, there was nowhere to hide, and all the ships that had no ability to dodge were sunk within a short time.

This most elite squadron in the First Fleet, which can be called almost invincible in the surrounding waters, failed to last even five minutes under the attack launched by a mere Zhanchi. The whole army was wiped out!

throughout the process. They didn't even make any counterattacks!

The remaining magicians stayed for a while, wanting to turn around and run away, but after thinking of the strict military law and the description in the paper, they glanced at each other and decided to attack.

With the cooperation of so many magicians, it might be possible to capture the Zhanchi.

As long as the Zhanchi can be obtained, the loss of these sea-going ships is nothing at all.

However, when the magic power of these magicians just flowed and were about to cast their spells, the space in front of them suddenly seemed to collapse in. The entire space turned into a bottomless blackness.

The magicians of the Sark Kingdom gasped at the same time.

"It's actually space magic! They actually have a great magician!"

These magicians looked at each other without hesitation. Turn around and fly in the direction of the northern Sark Kingdom.

Xu Yi withdrew his hand and stopped the magic wave.

Turning his head to look at the sluggish President Cruise, Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Do you still doubt the strength of me and our chamber of commerce?"

Chairman Cruise sighed and said with emotion: "Xu Yi, you are simply a monster. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce you created is also a monster."

Xu Yi laughed and told Neval, "Go back."

Spreading Wings drew a graceful arc on the sea, turned around and sailed towards the waters of the Principality of Standing.

###

Two days later, the refurbished Zhanchi had a fierce battle with the main fleet of the First Fleet of the Sark Kingdom led by General Kelele in the waters northwest of the Principality of Standing.

The Zhanchi was unharmed, and only three ships escaped from the main force of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of Sark, while the rest sank.

The blocked coastline of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's main base was unblocked.

Five days later, the guards of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated with a total of 5,000 guards hired from six chambers of commerce including Amli Chamber of Commerce, Armani Chamber of Commerce, Remit Chamber of Commerce, and Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and suddenly counterattacked from the main base of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. out.

Under the extremely fierce offensive, Grand Duke Wei Lun's subordinates had no power to resist at all, and were completely breached in an instant.

Grand Duke Weilun's blockade of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came to an end.

A week later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce continued to launch an offensive, breaking through four lines of defense under Grand Duke Weilun in a row, and broke into the private estate of Grand Duke Weilun.

Grand Duke Wei Lun saw that the situation was not good, so he fled ahead of time and disappeared.

Without the command of Grand Duke Wei Lun, coupled with the loss of supplies, unable to exert the power of military magic machinery, Grand Duke Wei Lun's subordinates were no longer able to resist.

Half a month later, Xu Yi, who had completely defeated Grand Duke Weilun and took over all the territories under the name of Grand Duke Weilun, was beyond everyone's expectations. Instead of stopping there, he directly attacked the other two neighboring lords.

In just ten days, the private guard under Xu Yi's name had completely defeated these two lords and taken over all their territories.

After that, Xu Yi corrected for a full twenty days.

Just when everyone thought that Xu Yi would stop like this and would not attack other lords like the previous Grand Duke Weilun, Xu Yi suddenly moved again.

If you don't move, you will be done, and if you move, you will be thundered.

Within a month, the private guards sent by Xu Yi broke through as many as seven lords one after another, and took all the territories of these seven lords under their names.

In all the battles, relying on the powerful firepower advantages caused by a large number of military magic machines, the other lords were unable to form any effective resistance at all, and were completely defeated without exception.

At this time, the other lords in the Duchy of Standing finally understood.

Although Xu Yi is not Grand Duke Weilun, he is more threatening than Grand Duke Weilun!

As a result, all the remaining lords of the Principality of Standing gathered together, planning to resist Xu Yi's offensive together.

However, the ruthless reality shattered the last hope in their hearts.

Xu Yi only sent 5,000 private guards. On the frontal battlefield, they easily defeated the 40,000 army assembled by these lords.

Moreover, Xu Yi's personal guards took the absolute initiative from the beginning to the end of the battle. and full advantage.

In front of Xu Yi's personal guards. The subordinates of these lords are like children facing adults. They can only be hanged and beaten, and they are powerless to resist.

This battle completely shattered the resistance of the other lords. After this battle, most of the lords chose to surrender to Xu Yi, while a few secretly rolled up their belongings and fled from the Duchy of Standing. The same is missing.

It took less than two months before and after. Xu Yi completely defeated all the other lords in the Principality of Standing, and truly achieved what Grand Duke Wei Lun had thought of but failed to do before, that is, bringing the entire Principality of Standing under his control.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xu Yi rejected a large group of people's request that he succeed Grand Duke Standing. Instead, he announced the establishment of a State Council of the Principality of Standing, referred to as the Congress of the Principality of Standing, which is mainly responsible for the management of the Duke of Standing. All domestic government affairs.

At the same time, Xu also elected Earl Angruo as the chairman of the State Council, elected several young lords in the Principality of Standing, and selected several civilians from the Commoners of the Principality of Standing to enter the Congress. He also served as a member and jointly assisted the Earl of Angloo in managing the government affairs of the Principality.

As for Xu Yi himself. On the other hand, he only has the title of a special adviser in Congress, and does not specifically participate in the management of government affairs, but only provides opinions and assistance when needed.

Of course, this is his own public statement, but in the eyes of everyone, with his current strong control over the Principality of Standing, how can the government affairs in the Principality of Standing bypass him?

To put it bluntly, although Xu Yi does not have the name of Grand Duke Standing, he has the reality of Grand Duke Standing.

It is even more exaggerated to say that with his control over the Principality of Standing, he can be said to be the king of this country!

###

A breeze blew in through the window, bringing a chill.

Xu Yi withdrew his gaze from the statistical report in his hand, raised his head and looked out the window.

Although there is still greenery everywhere outside the window at this time, it is already the end of December and officially entered the deep winter season.

Since leaving the Lampari Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been deployed in the Principality of Standing for more than two years.

It is only now that it has truly taken root.

Every time he thinks back to the ups and downs experienced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing in the past two years, Xu Yi can't help but feel emotional.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just left the Kingdom of Lampari at first, and after entering the Principality of Standing, it seemed that its strength was insufficient, Xu Yi decided that the most important thing was to gain a firm foothold first.

But in fact, in the past two years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a lot of opportunities to completely control the situation in the Principality of Standing as it is now.

The reason why he didn't do this was because Xu Yiji didn't catch a cold.

However, in the past two years, the situation in the Duchy of Standing has changed, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce paid a heavy price for Xu Yi's coldness.

The previous raid by Duke Weilun on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not cause much real damage, but the previous attempt by Duke Weilun and the Sak Kingdom to completely capture the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce caused heavy losses to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi didn't particularly care about the economic loss.

Although this time to solve the threat posed by Grand Duke Weilun and the Kingdom of Sark, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invested more than three million gold coins, plus the funds invested in the post-war reconstruction, and For the follow-up development plan, Xu Yi estimates that the total investment of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce next year will even be close to 10 million gold coins, but Xu Yi will not feel heartache.

What really made his heart ache was the large number of lives lost in this practice.

"If I had been more resolute at the beginning, perhaps not so many people would have died because of this?"

Watching a red leaf fall lightly outside the window, a trace of sadness flashed in Xu Yi's eyes, but after a while, they became firm again.

"No matter what, since the decision has been made, then there will be no more hesitation in the future."

Xu Yi squeezed his fist hard, and then relaxed.

After completely controlling the situation in the entire Duchy of Standing, many people suggested that he be promoted to the position of Grand Duke Standing, or even directly ascend the throne and become king.

Xu Yi rejected them all.

Although his mentality has changed after experiencing the previous incidents, he is now willing to take the initiative to control the situation, but he is very clear that with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is no problem to control the entire Principality of Standing, and it is enough to resist other forces from attacking the Principality of Standing. and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce coveted, but it is not realistic to control the entire Principality of Standing on the surface.

"In any case, in the future, you can no longer leave your fate in the hands of others, but should completely take it into your own hands."

Xu Yi watched the red leaves fall and the woods were sparse outside the window, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

Raising a finger, the fallen leaves outside the window, which were originally like early autumn, suddenly rippled like a small stone was thrown into it.

At this time, Xu Yi actually made a breakthrough.

(End of the fourth volume "The Throne")

(I have to say that the fourth volume was very difficult to write. The story written in this book is mainly to describe how Xu Yi used his knowledge of industrial theory to change the continent, so I always wanted to keep the main line in the development and promotion of magic machines But this is after all a matter involving a world. If you want to change this world, some things have to be described. I must admit that I am not good enough in this aspect. But starting from the next volume, the story It will enter a new stage, the main line will be clearer, and the impact of magic machinery on this world will be described more interestingly and diversely. So... Please look forward to the fifth volume "Steps to the Continent".) (To be continued. .)
