Magic Industry Empire - 453. Chapter 453

“Then you just escaped back like this?”

Count Michel squinted his eyes and looked at the rags in front of him, even his hair was scorched, and the two men who looked extremely embarrassed and drooped on their heads, there was a dangerous cold light in their eyes.

The black magic robe on his body had long turned into a few rags, the magician Delar glanced at the non-flickering expression on Michel’s face, and couldn’t help letting out a cold snort.

“Earl Michel, the reason why we became like this is entirely because the information you gave is wrong. The weapons hidden in the new Flying Chamber of Commerce fleet are far more powerful than we imagined, and their president Xu is nothing at all. A mere seven-level magician, I’m sure he has at least the strength of a nine-level magician!”

Count Michelle coldly snorted, and squinted at Mage Delar: “What? Are you accusing me?”

Mage Delal was furious, and just about to speak, he was stopped by Everton, who had been smoked black and white by flame magic and electric magic on his armour.

“No, Earl Michel, we didn’t mean to accuse you. However, the strength of the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is indeed far beyond our estimate. The two hundred men I led are the most elite cavalry squad in our army, but they are totally company. Can’t do it near their camp. I think…I’m afraid this is also beyond your expectation, right?”

Count Michel was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

“Yes, I didn’t expect that the strength of the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce should be so terrible.” Count Michel glanced at the mottled marks on the two of them and frowned. “You said, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has developed a magic arrow? Can you still use the magic continuous crossbow for bursts?”

Everton nodded: “Yes. Ordinary arrows can be blocked by the Magician Delal alone, but this kind of magical arrow poses a great threat to the magician. I think even if Xu did not make a move, We may not be able to break through the defense of these magic arrows and rush into the camp.”

“Magic arrow…” Count Michel tapped his finger on the stool, meditated for a moment, took a deep breath, stood up, and reached out to the two of them. “Well, Mage Delal, General Everton, this time my intelligence is indeed not accurate enough, which caused you to suffer losses, which led to the failure of this operation. However, through this operation, it became clear that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce actually Secretly developed such important information as magic arrows. I think the head of the Li Nur army must take this news very seriously, and I hope you can explain it to him after you go back.”

“Of course.”

Half an hour later, Everton and the Magician Delal, who had concluded this secret meeting, quietly left Count Michelle’s private estate outside Dulecton.

Seeing the two men disappear into the dark field outside the manor, Earl Michel frowned and fell into contemplation.

This is not the first time that it has cooperated privately with the Wolves of the Kingdom of Sark, but Earl Michel is well aware of the extreme dangers involved in such cooperation, so he is very cautious every time he chooses to cooperate.

If it were not for the threat of the New Flying Merchants Association, Earl Michel would never choose to take advantage of the importance of the Sark Kingdom to the New Flying Merchants Association, privately lure the wolf army into action, and deliberately induce Earl Will to fly the new aircraft. The Chamber of Commerce’s motorcade turned away from the city, creating such a good opportunity for a night attack.

Originally, according to Earl Michel’s idea, as long as Xu Yi was killed and the core power of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was removed, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would naturally fall apart, thereby greatly weakening the support for the Queen Servigny, causing the Queen Servigny to lose an extreme. An important and very potential supporter, so that her threat to Prince Eric is further reduced.

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

Anyway, even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is resolved, as long as Prince Eric inherits the throne, there will be opportunities to re-develop the magic industry on the basis of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

But now the strength of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has greatly exceeded Earl Michel’s estimation.

According to the description of Mage Delal just now, the New Flying Merchant’s Guild has only about fifty guards, and it actually forced Mage Delal to open the blue guard as a defense just by relying on the magic continuous crossbow.

What shocked Earl Michel was that with the magic arrows newly developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the ordinary guards of the mere district made it impossible for the powerful eighth-level magician to resist Delar, and was forced to flee. .

If you compare the strengths of the two sides, then there are two hundred well-trained and well-equipped elite cavalrymen of the Greedy Wolf Corps, with an eighth-level magician, against the 50 or so ordinary caravan guards in the new flying chamber of commerce, plus The strength of Shang Xu Yi is unknown, but according to Delal, he is a powerful magician with at least the strength of a ninth-level magician.

If the effects of the magicians on both sides were cancelled out, the wolf-greedy army that launched the raid would undoubtedly occupy an absolute advantage in strength.

But it turned out that in addition to killing the three patrolling guards at the beginning, the Wolves Army did not even touch the side of the New Flying Merchants Association motorcade. On the contrary, the two hundred cavalrymen were completely damaged. Only the Magician Delal And Everton fled back with their super personal strength.

In the end, this result was formed, and Earl Michel had to re-evaluate the new Flying Chamber of Commerce in his heart.

In the eyes of most people, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has only made a lot of money by relying on novel magic machinery, but its background and strength are far from being comparable to those of the old large chambers of commerce in the kingdom.

However, through the failure of this raid tonight, Earl Michel discovered that the new Flying Chamber of Commerce may not be as good as the old big chambers of commerce, but its strength cannot be underestimated.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce was able to develop magic arrows, weapons that can threaten even powerful magicians, in such a short period of time, so if they were given some time to develop, what novel things they could develop Woolen cloth?

Thinking of this, Earl Michel suddenly discovered that he might have been a little wrong in his positioning of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Such a chamber of commerce that can always create miracles, I am afraid it is no longer the kind of small chamber of commerce that he thinks can be handled at will.

Count Michelle pondered for a moment, picked up the pen and paper, and began to write a letter.

“His Royal Highness Prince Eric, I have a new suggestion regarding the New Flying Chamber of Commerce…”

###

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

Without Xu Yi’s instructions, everyone put everything away diligently, and after a few bites of dry food, they all got on the magic locomotive and set off in the direction of Thurwell City.

This happened last night, making everyone unwilling to stay here any longer.

In this unfamiliar place, perhaps only in the site of Earl Summers can everyone feel at ease.

While the convoy set off, Hart led the five guards he personally selected and escorted the three prisoners left behind yesterday, driving a cargo magic locomotive and returning to the original road of Bangta City.

According to Xu Yi’s instructions, they will not enter any city to stay on this road, try to keep them secret, return to Bangta City as quickly as possible, and report what happened last night to Her Royal Highness.

Xu Yi was originally worried about what would happen to the three prisoners on the road, but after Aesos paid a potion and poured a bowl of potion into each of the three prisoners, the three prisoners immediately fell asleep like dead people. , It was impossible to make any movement, but it made Hart and others a lot easier.

After the convoy parted ways, Xu Yi led the rest of the magic locomotive to transport supplies at the highest speed. It took only one morning to walk out of the area of Lemmat City and set foot on the spacious and flat concrete road again.

However, to Xu Yi’s expectation, this time after the convoy had been driving freely on the road for two hours, it suddenly discovered that the road ahead was suddenly broken.

Although the road that appears on the other side of the highway looks very spacious, it is basically an old dirt and gravel road.

Although by the standards of a dirt and gravel road, the road is fairly flat and the road conditions are good, a dirt and gravel road suddenly appeared on the main road connecting the two cities, which still made Xu Yi couldn’t help but feel a little bit astonished. .

“I see, this place should be within the scope of Basaru City.” A human researcher at the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center who was with Xu Yi’s home is another city in the Northeast Province. Seeing Xu Yi’s puzzled face, he asked him Explained: “Batro City is the poorest city in the Northeast Province. There is no one.”

“Is so poor that I can’t even repair a highway?” Xu Yi asked in shock.

“Well… if you really want to do it, you should be able to do it too.” The research institute said somewhat sighfully: “However, the old town master of Bassaru has always had a good reputation, and it is said that he is unwilling. Because the construction of roads has increased the burden on the civilians in the city, they refused to raise funds to build roads like other cities.”

Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking that this decision might be complimented 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. Although this will bring a certain financial burden to the city, after the road is built, the benefits to the entire city will far exceed this investment.

Such examples abound in many cities around Bangta City. In the long run, this investment is very cost-effective anyway.

The eyes of this Earl Longli were so short-sighted that Xu Yi couldn’t help despising it in his heart.

“By the way, you just said’Old City Lord’? Does that mean that Batlu City has now changed to a new City Lord?” Xu Yi noticed a problem.

“Well, the old city lord is actually the old Earl Longli. He passed away at the beginning of this year due to illness, and now it is his son who has inherited his hereditary earl title and city lord’s position.”

“So…” Xu Yi nodded, thinking that the information he had obtained before was that three cities in the northeastern province had clearly expressed support for His Royal Highness Prince Eric. They were Lemmat City, which was outside the city where the convoy was rejected yesterday. And now this Batru City and another Dulecton City.

If it is said that the one who supports His Royal Highness Prince Eric is the old Earl Longli who has passed away, will the attitude of the young Earl Longli, who took over the title and the position of the city lord, change?
