Chapter 152 Anger
Xu Yi had a gloomy face, staring at the stack of documents on the table in front of him, with irrepressible anger shooting out of his eyes.
This stack of documents is the accident report submitted by branches of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past month. There are a total of thirteen documents, each of which represents an accident that occurred under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Among these accidents, the subordinate caravan was attacked by bandits, the office was ransacked by bandits, and the personnel suffered accidental deaths, etc...
Among these accidents, the one that caught Xu Yi's attention the most, and also caused the greatest loss, was the accident report of three consecutive attacks on the sea transport fleet.
Objectively speaking, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now a big business, with offices spread across almost half of the Sainz continent in countless places in several countries, so it is not surprising that it encounters some accidents every month.
After all, this continent is still in the feudal society equivalent to the Middle Ages on Earth, and communication, public security, and social order cannot be compared with the modern civilized Earth.
But before this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had never encountered more than a dozen accidents in a row in just one month, and this frequency was too dense.
If it is said that before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had not made a name for itself on this continent, the caravans would be robbed when they went out, and even their subordinates would encounter accidents, that would not be unusual, but now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become After entering the famous Chamber of Commerce on the Sainz Continent, who would come back and provoke at will?
And what really attracted Xu Yi's attention and vigilance was the three consecutive attacks on the sea transport fleet.
Although the pirates on the Endless Sea have basically been wiped out by the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kandela Empire Navy Fleet, the Endless Sea is boundless after all, so in order to prevent accidents. A new flying chamber will be shipped out of the fleet each time it sails to sea. Will be equipped with a certain amount of defense force. Even the large cargo magic ship itself will be equipped with some military magic machinery in case of emergency.
With the super power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's military magic machinery, combined with the magic ship, which is made of steel, it is far beyond Sainz's continental ship technology. any way.
However, the three reports that have been sent back now clearly show that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet suffered three consecutive attacks, each of which suffered heavy losses. There were even two large cargo magic ships and five magic frigates damaged as a result.
According to the information provided by some of the crew members who managed to escape, the reason why the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce failed to resist the opponent's attack was that among the enemies attacking the fleet, there were not only a large number of high-level magicians, but even great magicians. !
"The great magician..." Xu Yi gritted his teeth hard, making a harsh crunching sound, and endless anger burst out of his eyes. "Okay! Very good! These damned guys, I thought they would at least have some scruples, but I still underestimated them. These guys are more than ten times more shameless than I imagined!"
Sitting across from Xu Yi, Steele and Magister Camilla looked at each other. For a moment, he didn't know what words to use to comfort Xu Yi.
After being silent for a while, Steele pondered: "Xu Yi...you don't have to rush to conclusions. This may not be the work of the headquarters of the Magician's Union. They should...shouldn't be so shameless?"
"That's not necessarily the case." It was not Xu Yi who refuted, but the magister Camilla on the side.
He glanced at Xu Yi, then at Steele, with a gloomy and serious expression on his face.
"Steel, you are still young after all, and you don't know that the guys at the headquarters of the Magician's Guild are actually a bunch of shameless people who will do anything for their own greed. What Xu Yi did this time can almost Even if their foundation has been shaken, it is not surprising that they will make such a counterattack. And in my opinion, this is actually just a warning from them to Xu Yi."
"Just a warning?" Steele opened his mouth in surprise, pointing to the thick stack of reports on the table, thinking that the number of casualties involved in these thirteen reports alone has exceeded 400. The direct loss caused by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was as high as more than 700,000 gold coins.
If it's all just a warning, what would it be if it wasn't a warning?
Thinking of this, Steele couldn't help but feel a little worried. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xu Yi and said, "Xu Yi...Actually, I don't think...the Headquarters of the Magician's Guild can't cooperate at all, as long as you..."
Seeing the look in Xu Yi's eyes, Steele immediately closed his mouth wisely.
Xu Yi silently looked at Steele for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly and shook his head slowly.
"Steel, you haven't understood that this is not a personal grievance between me and the Magician's Guild, or even a difference in ideas, but the most fundamental and fundamental conflict of interests, so there is no way to ease it at all. possible."
"No way? Even if you want all the magicians on this continent to devote themselves to the magic industry, the Magicians Union is actually quite happy to see it succeed. Why do the two sides have to confront each other?" Steele said. The face is puzzled. "I think that if the two parties are willing to cooperate seriously, it will actually be beneficial to everyone."
Xu Yi curled his lips and turned to look at Magister Camilla.
"Grandpa, do you think it's possible for us to cooperate?"
Magister Camilla shook her head without hesitation.
"Impossible. Unless you hand over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to them now."
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Obviously it is impossible for me to hand over Xinfei Commercial to them. This is not because I am reluctant, but because I am completely worried about them. I don't believe in handing over the magic industry that is basically on the right track to them. hands, they'll develop it properly. So you see..."
Xu Yi turned to look at Steele again: "This is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two of us, so there can be no real cooperation."
"But... I always feel that there is still hope, as long as both sides take a step back..."
"I had already given them a chance, but you must have seen the reaction from the headquarters of the Magician's Union. They did not allow any weakening of their control over the magicians on this continent for thousands of years. They have already regarded all the magicians as their private property. So there is no possibility of cooperation between us."
Speaking of which. Xu Yi looked down at the stack of documents on the table. Then his face became gloomy again.
"If I had fantasies about them before, now... I finally understand that it is impossible for these guys to peacefully snatch the bone they are holding from their mouths. Now they have let We paid the price in blood, so... I must let them taste the taste of blood!"
Steele's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help shouting softly: "Xu Yi, you don't mean...you want to start a war with the Magicians Union? This...this is too dangerous! You can calm down before thinking about it, okay? "
This time even Magister Camilla no longer supported Xu Yi. He frowned and said, "Xu Yi. I understand your feelings and your considerations. But... are you really sure you want to do this?" Do? Have you forgotten what I reminded you some time ago?"
Xu Yi looked at Magister Camilla, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly became a little weird.
"Grandpa, please go to see something with me. After reading it, you should not be so worried."
The magister Camilla looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, thinking that this kid obviously knew that what he reminded him was the threat from the magister.
But what did he say now that he wanted to take him to see something?
What can solve the threat posed by the Magister?
Watching Xu Yi and Magister Camilla go out together towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guard Training Base in the northwest corner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's main base, Steele frowned deeply.
She had known Xu Yi for more than ten years, and this was the first time she saw Xu Yi really angry.
"Hopefully nothing terrible will happen..."
###
The Sunset Mountains is a mountain range stretching for hundreds of kilometers in the northeast of the Tagna Province in the central part of the Kandela Empire. The border with the northeast province happens to be regarded as the dividing line between the two major provinces.
Because this mountain range has the only valley channel that can directly lead from the Tagna province to the Northeast province. So there are two human towns gathered at both ends of the mountain range.
The small town of Laruel located in the province of Tagna, although it is only a small town, but because it is located in a traffic artery, business and tourists coming and going will pass by here, and the floating population is huge all year round.
And because many caravans can only pass through here, countless bandits and bandits gather in the Sunset Mountains outside the small town of Laruel, and they often rob the passing caravans.
Although the officials of the Kandela Empire, the governor's office of the Tagela Province and the township of Laruer town will occasionally crusade against these bandits and bandits, because of the complex terrain of the Sunset Mountains, these bandits and bandits sneak into the Sunset Mountains and hide casually. There is no way to pursue it at all, so every time I can only let it go.
After a long time, the officials of the Candela Empire can only turn a blind eye to these bandits and bandits. They are unable to do more than remind the passing caravans to pay more attention.
And just half a month ago, a caravan was robbed by robbers while passing through the Sunset Canyon. The entire caravan was wiped out, and no one survived.
Originally, this was just a common thing for the people in the town of Sunset and Laruel. Except for mentioning it after dinner, it would not cause too many changes at all.
But this time, the robbery of this caravan has attracted everyone's attention.
There is only one reason, and that is that this caravan belongs to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
At that time, the caravan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was destined to send a batch of magic machines to the Northeast Province, but before they entered the Sunset Canyon, they were robbed by a very large group of robbers.
Although the caravan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hired a large number of guards and their combat effectiveness was good, the number of robbers was too many, and in the end they were unable to fight and all died in battle.
This robbery incident made everyone very puzzled.
For the robbers, robbing a caravan is of course for profit, even if it is not for the various direct living materials in the caravan, it will be for the various precious goods that can be grabbed and sold for money.
The goods in the caravan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot be said to be worthless, but these goods are said to be a batch of farmland magic machines destined for the Northeast Province. There is no way to resell it, so even if it is robbed, it doesn't make any sense.
What's more, most of the robbers are not bloodthirsty lunatics, and they don't kill people at all unless they are under special circumstances.
However, this time the robbers killed the entire caravan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, leaving no one behind, which is really too much.
In short, this robbery incident is full of various doubts and mysteries, so that even after half a month has passed, it will still be regarded as a hot topic in various taverns in the small town of Laruel.
And because of the series of follow-up events that occurred in this robbery, it is even more eye-catching than the robbery itself... (To be continued...)
