Magic Industry Empire - 862. Chapter 862 The Empire's Prestige Crisis

The meeting between Xu Yi and King Trutz was actually more of a symbolic meaning.

As the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi personally came forward, representing the firm attitude of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to support the Ruelson Kingdom, so that King Trutz could rest assured and better concentrate on defending the Candela Empire’s offensive.

Of course, what actually works is the continuous delivery of various materials from the Lampari Kingdom, the Duchy of Stantin, and the Black Rice Wasteland.

Relying on a powerful road transportation network and a brand new logistics network composed of freight magic locomotives, these materials will often be delivered to Ruelson, who needs these materials, in just two to three days after they are just produced. In the hands of the Kingdom Army, they have been able to maintain their superior combat effectiveness.

This is the most important reason why the Ruelson Kingdom Army was able to face the Candela Empire army not only with the weak to defeat the strong, but also the most important reason.

King Trutz knew this well, so even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not mention it himself, he had already proposed a series of preferential conditions to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, hoping to get enough support from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The main thing is the supply of various military magic machinery.

Although the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not express its attitude on the surface, in fact Xu Yi, as the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, has been expressing his support to King Trutz through private channels.

In addition to satisfying the various requirements put forward by King Trutz, Xu Yiran also took the initiative to propose the transfer of magic continuous crossbow technology to the Ruelson Kingdom.

For King Trutz, this is really a surprise.

Of course, it was not only King Trutz who knew that the Ruelson Kingdom received all kinds of material support, but also the Candela Empire.

At first, the Candela Empire didn’t care about it, because everyone felt that with the powerful strength of the Candela Empire, the Ruelson Kingdom could definitely be easily defeated. Even if other countries and forces supported the Ruelson Kingdom, it didn’t make any sense. It can’t affect the pace of the Candela Empire at all.

But when the armies of the Candela Empire and the Ruelson Kingdom fought several times, and then all ended with the defeat of the Candela Empire, the attitude of the Candela Empire immediately changed.

“Your Majesty, on behalf of the Empire, I now formally give a solemn warning to your country. Immediately stop all material support to the Ruelson Kingdom, otherwise the House of Empires will determine that your country is on the side of the Ruelson Kingdom and become the enemy of the Empire. As for The consequences of becoming an enemy of the empire, I surely don’t need me to remind you, right?”

Servigny covered his mouth with his hands, yawned softly, and glanced at Klein Sweeten, the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari, who was standing in front of him with a serious face. He gave a relaxed smile and motioned him to sit first. Down.

“Mr. Ambassador, the so-called various kinds of material support to the Ruelson Kingdom that you just mentioned are just some very normal non-governmental material transactions between the two countries. Military material support, right?”

Ambassador Sweeten snorted coldly: “Whether it is military material support or not, it is up to the Imperial House to decide, but you are not the one who has the final say.”

“Oh?” Servigny blinked and said in surprise: “Ambassador Sweeten, do you mean that as long as the Candela Empire is willing, then there is no need for us to give any evidence, you can unilaterally judge our Lan The Kingdom of Parry has provided military material support to the Kingdom of Ruelson? If this is the case, why do you come to warn me today? Isn’t it all you have the final say?”

Ambassador Sweeten gave a light cough and looked a little embarrassed.

“Ah… Although the final decision is made by the Imperial House, it would be better if you can take the initiative to avoid this suspicion from the House.”

“But in the final analysis, it’s up to you to decide, and there is nothing to do with whether we are really providing military material support to the Ruelson Kingdom, isn’t it?” Servigny asked rhetorically.

Ambassador Sweeten coughed heavily, waved his hand, and said sternly: “In short, your Majesty, since the empire is now at war with the Ruelson Kingdom, all actions beneficial to the Ruelson Kingdom will be subject to our side. Treated as an act of hostility. The House hopes that your country can stop sending all supplies to the Kingdom of Ruelson. Well… I am talking about everything, no matter whether it is military or civilian supplies, it cannot be delivered to the Kingdom of Ruelson. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Well, I understand. But Mr. Ambassador, as I said just now, this is a normal transaction between the private chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari and the private sector of the Ruelson Kingdom. If I unilaterally force them to stop these transactions, So who will bear the losses of these chambers of commerce? We Lampari royal family? Or your Candela Empire?”

“Of course they are responsible for it.” Ambassador Sweeten said unceremoniously. “Their chambers of commerce dared to trade with the Ruelson Kingdom when our Candela Empire was at war with the Ruelson Kingdom. This was originally a provocation to the Empire. The Empire was already quite merciful without punishing them. Do they still want to continue? Rebellion against the imperial decision?”

Hearing these words, the smile that Severini had been keeping on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became cold.

“Mr. Ambassador, I must remind you. They are all the Chamber of Commerce of our Lampari Kingdom, not your Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire. Even if they are to be punished, it is a matter of our Lampari Kingdom and has nothing to do with you.”

Ambassador Sweeten was a little uncomfortable with Severini’s sudden cold and strong words. After looking at her in surprise, he said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, are you planning to ignore the warning from the Imperial Council?”

Servigny was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: “Mr. Ambassador, as far as I know, during this period of time, the country that has continued to maintain non-governmental trade with the Ruelson Kingdom is not only the Kingdom of Lampari, but also many neighboring countries. May I ask Has the Candela Empire issued the same warning to them?”

“this……”

Ambassador Sweeten hesitated.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a trace of anger, a trace of doubt and a trace of helplessness in the expression on his face.

As Severini said, during this period of time, the countries that still maintained civil trade with the Ruelson Kingdom were not only the Lampari Kingdom, but also the Sac Kingdom and the Falk Kingdom, two kingdoms of the same level as the Ruelson Kingdom. .

In addition, there are the Duchy of Drake, Duchy of Stantin, Duchy of Norton, Duchy of Mirando and other surrounding small duchy.

The Candela Empire also issued the same prohibition and warning to these countries to continue trading with the Ruelson Kingdom after the initial defeat of the war.

Among them, the Principality of Norton readily agreed and executed it immediately.

But except for the Principality of Norton, all other countries did not readily agree to this request made by the Candela Empire.

Although most countries were very polite when facing the Candela Empire, they were very ambiguous when facing this warning and request.

Taking the Duchy of Stantin as an example, the Congress on behalf of the Duchy of Stantin stated that it would conduct a detailed study of the warnings raised by the Candela Empire and hold a parliament meeting to discuss resolutions. However, it has been a full week since the Candela Empire issued a warning to the Duchy of Stantin. , The reply given by the Congress of the Duchy of Stantin is still under discussion, and no final resolution has been reached.

During this period, on the road from the Principality of Stantin to the Kingdom of Ruelson, countless large freight magic locomotives loaded with large quantities of materials continued to flood into the Kingdom of Ruelson.

Of course, compared to these small duchy, the three countries that are most valued by the Candela Empire are the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Sark, and the Kingdom of Falk.

But the warning from the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Sark fell to the ground without any response at all.

The Kingdom of Falke rebuffed it very simply, claiming that the Candela Empire had no right to interfere in the normal trade between the Kingdom of Falke and the Ruelson Kingdom.

This attitude is not beyond the estimation of the Candela Empire, because the Falk Kingdom is close to the Maro Empire and has always been closer to the Maro Empire. Naturally, it does not deal with the Candela Empire.

So the only thing left is the Lampari Kingdom ruled by Her Majesty the Queen.

The Kingdom of Lampari is close to the Kingdom of Ruelson, and it is very convenient to support the Kingdom of Ruelson.

And according to intelligence, the Lampari Kingdom has soared in the past few years, and even surpassed the Kingdom of Sark, which had suppressed them for hundreds of years, and has become the most powerful of these small countries in the southwestern corner of the Sainz continent. nation.

If the Kingdom of Lampari strongly supports the Kingdom of Ruelson, it is bound to make the Candela Empire’s conquest of the Kingdom of Ruelson even more difficult.

So this time, Klein Sweeten, the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari, paid a solemn visit to Queen Severini and personally raised the warning from the Candela Empire House to her, hoping to make her recognize the seriousness of this matter, and The Candela Empire’s serious attitude on this matter.

However, Ambassador Sweeten did not expect that Queen Severini would also adopt such an ambiguous attitude. Not only has she been evasive, but now she also deliberately asked about the attitudes of other neighboring countries.

Ambassador Sweeten didn’t think he could conceal Queen Sevigny on this matter, but he said that no other country had promised it would not be of any help to his mission on this trip. After hesitating for a while, he replied in a deep voice: “Of course the empire has also issued a solemn warning to other countries that have done so.”

“Then what’s the attitude of other countries?” Servigny asked again.

Ambassador Sweeten snorted and replied: “This is the requirement of our Candela Empire. Who dares to have an opinion?”

Servigny pursed his lips: “But Mr. Ambassador, as far as I know, no country has agreed to the demands of the Candela Empire so far.”

Ambassador Sweeten’s face turned red, then his expression was serious.

“If they dare to violate the will of the empire in such matters, they will definitely be punished by the empire in the future!”

“Oh?” Servigny let out a crisp laugh, and looked at Ambassador Sweeten with a full smile. “But Mr. Ambassador, the most serious violation of the will of the Candela Empire is the Ruelson Kingdom, right? Are they punished by the Empire?”

Ambassador Sweeten’s expression suddenly suffocated.

Seeing the deep smile on Severini’s face, he instantly understood.

Today, his meeting is destined to be without any result, because the empire not only failed to show any effortless momentum in the war with the Ruelson Kingdom, but was even easily defeated by the Ruelson Kingdom several times.

Under the influence of this record, the empire’s deterrent power to these small countries has obviously been severely affected.

Or to put it more seriously, if the Ruelson Kingdom cannot be resolved, the prestige of the empire on the entire Sainz continent will be plunged into crisis.

This point is even countless times more serious than the defeat in the battle with the Kingdom of Ruelson.
