Chapter 130 Factors Determining the Situation

Strictly speaking, without the certification of Grand Duke Standing, the territories currently controlled by all the lords in the Duke of Standing are illegal.

So according to this standard, in fact, almost 80% of Earl Weilun's territory is now illegal.

In the beginning, Earl Weilun was just a small lord, and now the territory is snatched from other lords. This was originally a default rule in the Duchy of Standing. People questioned this.

But now, Grand Duke Standing suddenly announced that part of the territory belonging to Lord Weilun was entrusted to Xu Yi.

From a legal point of view, this is no problem, because Grand Duke Standing has enfeoffment advice for all the territories in the Principality of Standing.

But in fact, doing so is tantamount to hitting Earl Weilun in the face.

However, allocating this large area of ​​territory to Xu Yi is obviously trying to provoke the relationship between Xu Yi and Earl Wei Lun.

The key issue is that the territory is extremely important to any nobleman on the Sainz continent, and it can even be said that the size of the territory represents everything about the nobleman.

What Grand Duke Standing is doing now is clearly a conspiracy, and it is clear that he has thrown a bait for Xu Yi and Earl Weilun to snatch it.

If Xu Yi and Earl Wei Lun really fell out because of this territory, then naturally they fell into the arms of Grand Duke Standing.

The most important reason why Earl Wei Lun has become so powerful now is that he has obtained the strong support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, turned against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and lost the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is tantamount to a fatal blow to Earl Wei Lun.

In this way, Earl Willon, who has already posed a sufficient threat to Grand Duke Standing in the Principality of Standing, is not a concern.

Even if Xu Yi and Earl Wei Lun will not turn their faces because of this territory. The ownership of this territory will still insert a deep thorn between the two parties. It is bound to affect the relationship between the two parties.

have to say. Grand Duke Standing's move was very clever, and he made full use of his status as Grand Duke Standing to neutralize most of the threat of Earl Willon without any effort.

What he did even more was that he notified the entire Standing Duchy of the order to enfeoff Xu Yixin's territory, so that all the lords in the Duchy would know about it.

So all the other lords in the Duchy of Standing stretched their necks and waited eagerly.

The combination of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Earl Weilun is too scary, don't destroy the relationship between them. The other lords in the principality see no hope at all.

However, Xu Yi and Earl Wei Lun's reaction to this incident was far beyond everyone's expectations.

First of all, Xu Yi readily accepted the enfeoffment from Grand Duke Standing and made it clear that he would accept this territory.

And the most surprising thing is that Earl Wei Lun did not express any opinion on this entrustment.

After Xu Yi expressed his willingness to accept this territory, Earl Wei Lun immediately withdrew all his subordinates who were originally assigned to this territory.

Not only the army, but even all the administrative personnel he used to control the territory also withdrew, making it clear that he completely gave up control of the territory.

Afterwards, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the territory, followed by the construction team of the Amley Chamber of Commerce. The construction of factory buildings with distinctive Xinfei Chamber of Commerce logo and various employee housing began to be built in this territory, marking that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce officially took over this territory.

throughout the process. There was no conflict between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Earl Weilun at all. On the contrary, when the escort of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Earl Weilun's army came into contact, the two sides were very cordial and friendly, and there was no sense of tension.

This performance surprised everyone.

Earl Weilun can be regarded as invincible in the north of the principality. Originally, everyone thought that he was so powerful that he would definitely not tolerate his territory being snatched away.

But facing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he didn't even make any resistance, and he didn't even raise any objections.

Could it be... is he so afraid of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

No one knew what Earl Weilun was thinking, but everyone knew the actions Earl Weilun took afterwards.

Perhaps it was because he felt that his territory had been reduced. After this incident, Earl Weilun immediately launched an attack on the two adjacent lords. It took only one month to completely defeat these two lords. Their territory is also in the bag.

The combined territory of these two lords is much larger than the territory granted to Xu Yi by Grand Duke Standing, so counting it, Earl Weilun's territory has actually increased a lot.

Half a month later, Grand Duke Standing repeated his old trick and once again entrusted a piece of Earl Weilun's territory to Xu Yi, and this time this territory was far away from Xu Yi's existing territory, and there was a gap in the middle. A large area of ​​the territory of Lord Waylon.

However, this time Earl Wei Lun still did not raise any objections, and withdrew all his subordinates from that territory, even all his subordinates from the middle territory, but he took the initiative to separate Xu Yi and his subordinates. The territory of the territory was also given up, making Xu Yi's territory completely connected together.

In this way, Xu Yi's territory has exceeded an astonishing two thousand square kilometers.

Earl Weilun, whose territory was once again reduced, once again targeted other lords. This time, the offensive was more violent. In less than a month, he defeated the three lords again, and finally expanded his territory again. Not a lot.

As a result, after doing this twice, the territory controlled by Earl Willon is now even close to 20,000 square kilometers, and it is even almost the same as the territory actually controlled by Grand Duke Standing.

Moreover, because of the continuous wars against other lords, the number of Earl Weilun's troops increased dramatically, exceeding 50,000, which was only 10,000 less than the 60,000 soldiers declared by Grand Duke Standing.

In terms of actual combat effectiveness, the 50,000 men of Earl Willon have gone through many fierce battles, and more importantly, they are also equipped with various military magic machines provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The combat effectiveness is undoubtedly much higher than that of Grand Duke Standing.

This point has been verified countless times in the previous battles between Earl Weilun and other lords.

After such a comparison. More and more people in the Principality of Standing believe it. Lord Waylon will surely replace Grand Duke Standing. become the new Grand Duke.

In this principality, the only one who can resist the footsteps of Earl Weilun is probably the Viscount Anglo in the south?

However, when I think about it, the reason why Earl Wei Lun and Viscount Angru were able to behave so strongly is that they both accepted the strong support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Once the other lords lost the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they would not have the ability to compete with these two lords at all.

It can be inferred from this point that in fact, it is not these two prominent lords who really determine the fate of the Principality of Standing. It's Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, it was Xu Yi.

###

At night at the end of summer, the seaside of the Principality of Standing was still hot. Although it was completely dark, the beach was still bustling with people coming and going.

Today is the regular rest day of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce every week. After get off work, the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce don't even eat, so they put on swimsuits and go straight to the beach.

After Xu Yi invested heavily in the development of this public beach, it has now become a very suitable place for summer leisure.

A row of houses has been built along the beach. It became a variety of shops, brightly lit every night. Among them, barbecue and wine are all available.

When night fell, the huge magic square lights erected around the beach shone extremely brightly, illuminating the whole beach thoroughly, and people gathered in twos and threes, laughing loudly, dyeing the whole beach into a nightless scene. City.

Xu Yi and Steele strolled on the private beach, looking at the bright lights and loud voices on the beach in the distance, Steele couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I still remember when we came here more than a year ago, this beach It's still a desolate place, with no one to be seen at night, but now it has become so lively, it can be compared to the night in Anweimar City."

Xu Yi smiled: "What? Miss Anweimar? Isn't the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe going to perform in Anweimar again in a few days? If you want to go, you can go with me."

Steele shook his head: "No, I'm just feeling emotional. In fact, now, in my opinion, Anweimar City is already very backward, and there are many inconvenient places compared with Banta City. Other things Said, up to now, Anweimar City has not been able to build a complete urban public transportation system, and every time I go to Anweimar City, it is very inconvenient to travel.”

"There is no way around this. The urban public transport system is a social welfare facility and cannot be used to make money. To create a complete urban public transport system, a large amount of money must be invested. Although the Kingdom of Lampari's financial There has been a big improvement now, but there is no spare energy to invest in these for the time being." Xu Yi sighed.

Steele glanced at Xu Yi: "You do understand Her Majesty's difficulties."

Xu Yi looked at Steele, smiled, and scratched her nose: "What? Are you jealous?"

Steele snorted lightly: "I wasn't jealous when you hugged her so tightly last time, why am I jealous now?"

Xu Yi laughed out loud, thinking that the last time he flew down from the cliff with Seweney in his arms, he happened to fall into the eyes of Steele and the others who were waiting at the bottom of the cliff. Of course Steele didn't say anything, but he was still very happy mind.

"Okay, it's impossible for Seweney and me to have anything happen, you should be very clear." Xu Yi held Steele's waist and said softly.

"Then why did she do this?" Steele gave Xu Yi a blank look: "Don't think I can't see it, Her Majesty is actually interested in you in her heart. Although she concealed it very well, I am also a woman, and I can see Come out with what's on her mind."

Xu Yi frowned: "Are you thinking too much? With her personality, if she is really interested in me, she would not be able to act like that in front of you. Maybe she was really just negotiating with me last time. It’s just a deliberate gesture.”

"No, you don't understand." Steele shook his head lightly. "If a woman doesn't approve of a man in her heart, she will never make such an intimate move. Do you think Her Majesty the Queen is a frivolous person?"

"Of course she is not a frivolous person, but in the final analysis, it is absolutely impossible for the two of us. She is Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampari Kingdom, and I already have you and this wife, so no matter what, it is impossible for us Together." Xu Yi shook his head: "Steel, can you take this as her capriciousness?"

Steele shrugged: "I don't care. If my husband is even attracted by a queen, doesn't that prove that my vision is exceptional? But Xu Yi, do you really not care about this matter?" ? Don’t forget, recently, articles discussing the heir to the throne have appeared in many newspapers in the Kingdom of Lampari.”

"The heir to the throne?" Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat. (To be continued..)
