Chapter 111 Breaking Tradition

"Earl Dempsey, you are a smart man, I am very happy."

Captain Hart's tall body stood in front of Earl Dempsey, who was not even 1.7 meters tall, looking down like a mountain, full of oppressive force.

"Because of your wise decision, the citizens of Metro City don't need to suffer more damage in the flames of war. They should thank you, the city lord, for your wise decision. On behalf of the chairman, I express my sincere gratitude to you for such a correct judgment." Appreciate it. Before departure, the chairman repeatedly emphasized that we hope we can achieve our goal while minimizing casualties, especially civilian casualties. Now that you have chosen to surrender in Kaesong, we are all satisfied, which is very good."

Earl Dempsey had no expression on his face, but secretly gritted his teeth, looking at Captain Hart, wishing he could bite this guy to death in one bite.

If possible, the ghost wants to directly open the city gate and surrender!

However, as soon as the guys from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appeared, they completely exceeded everyone's expectations. They bombarded and bombarded the entire city wall of the west gate of Metro City directly!

My God, Metro City is the most important city on the southwestern border of the empire. The city wall has been built beyond specifications with special funds allocated by the Kandela Empire Army. Coupled with the careful operation of the Dempsey family for hundreds of years, it has now reached a sufficient level. Thirteen meters high, the thickest part is close to ten meters, and the thinnest part is more than five meters. The super exaggerated city wall.

Because of this city wall, Metro City was even hailed as one of the ten most difficult cities on the Sains Continent.

The result is that the city wall, which can almost make all the enemies sigh, was forced to collapse under the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, without even holding on for a minute!

Along with the collapse of the city wall, there was also the confidence of all the defenders of Metro City, including Earl Dempsey.

Even such an exaggerated city wall can't withstand the magic artillery attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's guards. How can Metro City defend the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's next more violent offensive?

So Earl Dempsey thought for less than two minutes before he decided to open the city and surrender.

Of course, now that the entire west wall of Metro City has been blown up by the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what's the point of not opening the city gate?

As for what Captain Hart said. Such a quick surrender can save the people in Metro City from being baptized by artillery fire. Although Earl Dempsey is also considering it, the main reason why he surrendered so readily is because of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It showed a terrifying power that far exceeded the capacity of the guards of Metro City. Even beyond the imagination of Earl Dempsey.

Even if the Imperial Army came to check the situation here, when they saw the entire collapsed city wall outside, I believe they would not be able to find fault with him.

"Okay, Earl Dempsey, you withdraw all the garrison troops to the city. Then what should you do, don't worry about us." Captain Hart suddenly waved his hand again.

Earl Dempsey was taken aback.

What is "what are you supposed to do"? Isn't the current situation that Metro City has been conquered by the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is under their occupation?

How did they listen to what Captain Hart meant, they didn't plan to move anything, and they still thought that Metro City could remain as it was?

"We will take over the defense of Metro City, as for the rest...we are not interested." Captain Hart saw Earl Dempsey's doubts, and explained: "We are only here to occupy Metro City. The only task that the adults entrusted to us. Other things, that is something to consider later."

Earl Dempsey thought about it and felt that this was reasonable.

After all, the escort of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for military operations. As for the specific arrangement after the occupation of Metro City, that is a matter for other departments of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to consider. Of course, they, who are actually soldiers, don't need to worry about it.

but……

"Do you really think you can keep occupying our city of Metro?" Earl Dempsey sneered, looking directly at Captain Hart with a hint of contempt on his face. "I admit that the guards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very powerful, but if your chairman Xu Yixu thinks that you can really occupy our Metro City with the help of thousands of you, then you are too naive!"

"Really?" Captain Hart glanced at Earl Dempsey, laughed a few times, then waved his hand, and several guards from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came up and took Earl Dempsey under custody.

"Captain. If I think it's safe, I'd better kill this guy. I'm worried that he will secretly incite the people in the city to rebel, and that will be troublesome." Nuen, the deputy captain of the Human Guard of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guard Si leaned over and whispered.

"No." Captain Hart shook his head. "According to the information. Metro City is the territory of the Dempsey family, and the Dempsey family's influence here is deep-rooted. We detain him, and it can make other people feel a bit scruples. If we really kill him, it will cause big trouble. .”

Newnes thought about it and thought it was not bad. Then he said: "Then at least find a way to control him?"

"Of course, the elf boys in the team have already prepared, and I guarantee that he can't do anything."

"Mind control?" Newnes laughed immediately.

Seeing that Captain Hart had already made arrangements, he felt relieved and began to look at the undamaged city wall in the north of Metro City where they were at the moment.

"Captain, do you think we have time to make arrangements before reinforcements from the Kendela Empire arrive?"

"I don't know." Captain Hart shrugged. "No one knows when the reinforcements from the Candela Empire will come. But we can be sure that as long as they approach 50 kilometers from Metro City, they will be spotted by us immediately. Since there is no information from the reconnaissance airship team, then It proves that the reinforcements have not yet appeared."

"Well... Anyway, let's hurry up."

Captain Hart glanced at Nunes and frowned: "I said Nunes, you are not a kid who has never seen blood, why do you seem very nervous this time?"

Newnes scratched his head embarrassedly.

"When I think that we are invading the Candela Empire, I can't help but feel a little nervous. Captain, think about it, this is the Candela Empire. In the history of the mainland, apart from the Maro Empire, no one else dared to invade the Candela Empire, right? "

Captain Hart curled his lips in disdain: "We have already come in now. The chairman has said countless times that the Candela Empire and the Marlow Empire are just paper tigers that look powerful. In fact, they hold The strength of the army has long been far behind this era, but they are still not aware of it, and they always feel that they are very strong. When we were in the Luerxun Kingdom, we fought against the army of the Candela Empire many times. You have not missed those gaps Now, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried..." Nuance licked his lips with a worried expression. "The Candela Empire is the most powerful empire on this continent. We are just a chamber of commerce, but we came to challenge the Candela Empire. This..."

Hearing these words, Captain Hart suddenly looked serious, looked down at Nunes, and said sharply: "Nuance, if you are afraid, you can go back now!"

Newnes quickly waved his hand vigorously: "No, no, captain, you misunderstood, I'm really not afraid, it's just... just not so confident... You see, we only brought 5,000 people here this time, and Candela The empire can send 50,000 or even 500,000 people casually, I always feel... I always feel that some are not so appropriate..."

Captain Hart snorted heavily, shook his hand vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Master Chairman has repeated it countless times. Now is no longer the age when the number of people can determine everything. Why don't you understand?"

"Of course I don't think the president is wrong, it's just...just a little lack of confidence."

Seeing Nuance's embarrassed expression, Captain Hart sighed inwardly and shook his head helplessly.

If Nunes, the senior general of the guard, looked like this, then there must be quite a few people in the guard who had this idea.

It seems that just as the chairman said in a private conversation with Captain Hart when he was about to leave, even if there have been countless actual battles to prove that the modern warfare model based on military magic machinery mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already It has far surpassed this era, far surpassed the traditional form of war, and even broken the traditional concept of determining the outcome by force. However, there are still countless people on this continent who hold those traditional concepts, and thus have great confidence in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Not having enough confidence.

"So the purpose of our operation this time is of course not to occupy the entire Candela Empire. This is unrealistic. With the current strength of our chamber of commerce, even if we can wipe out all the troops of the Candela Empire, all opposing forces will also be defeated. It is also impossible to really control the entire Candela Empire, which is determined by the huge disparity in size between the two parties."

Captain Hart remembered what Xu Yi said at that time, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.

The head of the chairman is very clear, and it is by no means dazzled by the victory because the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have won many battles before.

"Our real purpose is to smash the traditional concepts in everyone's minds, let them realize that the times have really changed, let them truly accept the changes that the magic industry has brought to this world, and accept our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce To lead the development of this era. And to achieve this goal is to smash the most powerful behemoth in everyone's mind, that is, the Kandela Empire."

"As for how to crush it... we need to do it a little bit through this operation. And the first step... is to crush something that represents invincibility in everyone's mind..." (~^~)
