Chapter 85 Questioning From the Marshal
Both Captain Uther and Earl Zidal had an extremely ugly look on their faces.
"Have they all escaped?" Earl Zidal's eyes showed uncontrollable shock. "Under such a powerful offensive, they didn't even stay behind? That's...that's too incredible!"
Captain Uther glanced at him, then turned to look at the only old man among the four who was wearing a magic robe.
"Master Jonah, what do you think?"
The old magician known as Master Jonah also had an ugly face. After looking around, he replied in a deep voice: "I made a mistake. I thought that an eighth-level magic would be enough to keep them, but I didn't expect them to be able to force them." Hold on."
"You're a great magician! Why don't you just use forbidden spells? Now that they've all run away, our operation this time is tantamount to a complete failure! Do you understand?" Earl Zidal immediately roared loudly.
Master Jonah glanced at him coldly: "Do you think that forbidden spells don't need time to prepare? Besides, they're so noisy, they will definitely find out in advance, it's useless at all."
"Then at least use a ninth-level magic, okay! What's the matter with the eighth-level magic? Are you so stingy with your own magic power? Do you know how important this operation is? Do you know..."
Captain Uther frowned, raised his hand to stop Earl Zidal from continuing to accuse, and looked at the middle-aged man who was left with an ordinary appearance among the four, but also dressed in noble clothes.
"Duke Roman, now this group of guards from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely plan to flee back to their base near Dro City. I need your Dro Kingdom to help us and let us stop them on the way."
The middle-aged man known as the Duke of Roman nodded: "No problem. There are more than 500 kilometers away from the Dro City base. They don't have magic motorcycles to travel, and it will take at least several days to get there by walking alone. We There's plenty of time to catch them."
Speaking of this, Duke Roman chuckled: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although they escaped this time, they can't escape our Dro Kingdom anyway. Besides, what if we let them run back to the base?" ? Maybe by the time they arrive, the base has already fallen into our hands, hasn’t it?”
"Yes." Captain Uther nodded slightly, and then said to Master Jonah and Earl Zidal: "It is not too late. We need to act now. Master Jonah, you act with us. Sir Earl, please You go back and report the information here in person. How to act in the future. We still have to see how the empire progresses."
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
After discussing for a while, the four of them left together.
When the silence was restored here, on a big tree about 100 meters away from where the four of them were standing just now, the figure of an elf warrior gradually appeared.
He glanced down at the miniature magic phantom camera in his hand. After making sure that he had recorded everything he saw just now, he carefully put it away, stepped on his feet, and disappeared into the woods in an instant.
###
Wimbledon, the capital of the Candela Empire, is about 2,000 kilometers away from the Namco Mine in a straight line. However, because it is located in the northwest, if it is calculated according to the latitude on the earth, there is actually a difference of about one time zone.
So when the sun had completely covered the entire Namtso Mine, the city of Wimbledon could only see the rising sun.
At this time, Xu Yi had already got up from the bed.
After doing the gymnastics as usual, two maids opened the door and came in. He planned to help Xu Yi get up.
Xu Yi waved his hand, waved them away, and went straight to the front hall.
After waiting for a while, Earl Raphael Erwin, the head of the Magic Industry Management Department of the Candela Empire who was notified, arrived late.
"President Xu, you wake up really early. I thought you were used to being warm and fragrant at home, and you wouldn't get up until the sun was high." Earl Erwin laughed, looking very Warmly greeted him.
"I don't have the habits of those corrupt nobles." Xu Yi glanced at Earl Irwin and got up directly. "Let's go, let's hurry up and try to solve the problem today."
Earl Irwin was slightly taken aback: "President Xu, don't be in such a hurry, right? You have finally come to Wimbledon City, and you should spend two more days here. I have prepared a lot of good programs today, you Look, we're going to have breakfast now. Then..."
"The matter is not resolved, I'm not in the mood to play." Xu Yi shook his head, unceremoniously rejecting Earl Erwin's offer. "Or is it that your Candela Empire has no plans to solve the problem at all?"
This sentence was very rude. The smile on Earl Irwin's face froze slightly, and then he forced a smile: "Why, we invited President Xu to be your guest this time. It is to discuss how to solve the problem. Well."
Xu Yi looked directly into Earl Erwin's eyes, and said seriously, "Master Earl, I've already wasted two days here, and I can't waste any more. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Actually, even if President Xu doesn't say anything, we still have the intention to solve the problem. The first two days were just a little preparation, and now we are ready. President Xu, please come with me."
Xu Yi nodded, and followed Earl Irwin out into a magic car, then drove all the way out of Wimbledon City, and sped towards the east of the city.
"My lord, where are you going?" Xu Yi asked with a frown.
"Let's reveal something to Chairman Xu first." Earl Irwin lowered his voice. "The conflict between us this time is actually related to a certain important figure in the military. Before we discuss it, it is best to reach a consensus with the military. I heard that President Xu has come to Wimbledon. This important figure in the military I just wanted to see you."
"A big shot in the military?" Xu Yi wondered.
Could it be that the Kandela Empire suddenly insisted on intervening in the Namco bloody conflict, and even sent an army of 2,000 people to the Namco Mine because of the intention of the Kandela Empire military?
With this question in mind, the magic car drove quickly for about an hour, entered a wilderness east and north of Wimbledon City, and finally drove into a huge manor.
As soon as Xu Yi got off the magic car, he saw dozens of heavily armed soldiers surrounding him.
This alone already reflects the uniqueness of the owner of this manor.
At most, other nobles would arrange some personal guards in their own manors, but the manors in this manor were regular imperial troops wearing the military uniforms of the Candela Empire.
Earl Erwin, who got off from the other side, saw these soldiers surrounding him. He raised his hands obediently, and let the soldiers come up and touch him again.
Seeing Xu Yi's strange eyes, Earl Erwin smiled and said, "This is the rule when you come here, please be considerate, President Xu."
Xu Yi was surprised.
It is said that Earl Irwin is currently serving as the head of the Magic Industry Management Department of the Candela Empire. It can be considered a high position and authority, but after coming to this manor, he still has to undergo such a body search. Could it be said that the owner of this manor is a big man who is far behind him?
Even if it is to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Candela Empire, it is nothing more than that...
Thinking about it, Xu Yi still raised his hands cooperatively.
But when the soldiers were about to touch him. An old but heroic laugh suddenly sounded.
"Okay, let's all back down. President Xu is a powerful magician, and weapons are not important to him at all."
Xu Yi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an old man with white hair and beard, but a very strong figure, with a red face, wearing a military uniform, striding over.
"President Xu, when we met for the first time, I was really surprised by how young you are." The old man in military uniform laughed and said, "I'm Campbell Sudirman. I think you should have heard of my name."
Xu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Marshal of the Candela Empire. How could I have never heard of the name of the famous Candela God of War?"
"Haha, God of War, that's all in the past. Ever since I became this shit marshal, I haven't been on the battlefield in person for nearly 20 years." Marshal Sudirman shook his hand and laughed loudly.
Xu Yi nodded slightly.
According to the data, this Marshal, who has a very high reputation in the Candela Empire and is even no worse than the Emperor of the Empire in the eyes of most Candela Empire people, has never been a Marshal since the war with the Maro Empire 19 years ago. Have not personally been on the battlefield.
But this has nothing to do with him. After a pause, Xu Yi frowned and asked, "Master Marshal, I wonder why you summoned me this time?"
"Good! Refreshing!" Marshal Sudirman gestured a thumbs up to Xu Yi as a compliment. Then he grabbed Xu Yi's arm and pulled him towards the manor. "I have to talk about everything after I go in. Although I am a rough person, I still understand the basics of hospitality."
Marshal Sudirman was so strong that Xu Yi was grabbed by him. Can only involuntarily go forward.
Looking back, he found that Earl Erwin hadn't followed.
It seemed that this was a meeting specially prepared by Marshal Sudirman to meet Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was still very puzzled.
After all, he is just a businessman. It stands to reason that he has nothing to do with Marshal Sudirman, the most prestigious military officer in the Candela Empire. Why did Marshal Sudirman want to meet him?
The two soon arrived at the living room in the middle of the manor.
After taking their seats, Marshal Sudirman looked Xu Yi up and down. He opened his mouth and asked: "President Xu, I don't like talking nonsense. I made a special trip to meet you this time just to ask you a question. Please answer truthfully."
"Speaking."
"Does your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce never intend to transfer the technology of military magic machinery to our Kandela Empire?"
Xu Yi was startled for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Marshal Sudirman asked such a sensitive question as soon as he opened his mouth.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Marshal, according to the strategic partnership agreement signed by both of us, we are gradually transferring the technology related to military magic machinery according to the development of the magic industry within the empire. the meaning of."
"Bah! What's the use of those inferior things? For our empire, it's no different from having nothing." Marshal Sudirman said disdainfully.
"Master Marshal, you can't say that. Everything needs to be done step by step, especially things like military magic machines, which need a long period of accumulation to be fully mastered. Even if I really take them now..."
"So you still refuse to hand over those technologies to us, right?" Marshal Sudirman interrupted Xu Yi rudely.
Xu Yi frowned: "Master Marshal, I think I have made it very clear. Moreover, our chamber of commerce has cooperated with your country for so long, and we have explained these principles countless times. I don't believe you don't understand."
"I understand. So I came to you this time just to give you one last chance." Marshal Sudirman looked at Xu Yi with a sharp look in his eyes. "But obviously, you don't intend to cherish this opportunity. Let me ask you again, are you willing to transfer the technology of military magic machinery to our Kandela Empire?"
Xu Yi felt a sense of danger in his heart, and frowned at Marshal Sudirman.
"Marshal, what exactly do you mean?" (~^~)
