Chapter 138

As soon as the hottest summer was over, the battle between Earl Waylon and Duke Standing became more intense.

Grand Duke Standing actually sent an assassin of the level of Grand Magician Rena to assassinate Xu Yi, which made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce further support Earl Weilun, not only continuously providing Earl Weilun with a large number of military magic machines, but also from The Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson, and several other countries that have cooperation projects with each other have purchased a large amount of supplies, completely solving the worries of Earl Weilun, and naturally he can fight the Grand Duke Standing with all his strength.

Even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was directly involved in the war between the lords in the Duchy of Standing for the first time. During the battle between Earl Willen and Grand Duke Standing, the most elite guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were sent several times to participate in the battle. .

Relying on the terrifying firepower of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which was even several times stronger than that of Earl Willon's men, Grand Duke Standing was even more powerless to resist.

In just two months, Earl Willon led his men to personally attack Faraday City, the capital of the Principality of Standing.

Grand Duke Standing saw that resistance was hopeless, and a fire burned the glorious Grand Duke's mansion he had spent decades building to ashes, and he was also buried in the flames.

Subsequently, several lords in the Duke of Standing expressed their surrender to Earl Weilun at the same time, and at the same time elected him as the new Duke of Standing, known as Duke Weilun.

The first thing Grand Duke Wei Lun did after taking over the position of Grand Duke was to ask all other lords in the Principality to disarm and fully accept the leadership and appointment of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Most of the lords obeyed, and only a few lords refused.

some of. Including the same call for wind and rain in the south of the Principality of Standing. Viscount Angruo who is in the limelight.

If it is an ordinary lord who dares to resist the current Grand Duke Weilun. Then what greeted him must be a merciless blow from Wei Lun's part-time job.

In fact, Wei Lun did the same thing when working part-time.

A week after he issued the order to disarm, Grand Duke Weilun immediately sent troops to conquer the several lords who resisted his order, easily defeated these lords, and unceremoniously included their territories into his own. hands.

However, for Viscount Uncle, who also resisted his order, Grand Duke Weilun was uncharacteristically, and did not make any moves in line, and both sides showed extreme peace and restraint. It was as if there were no conflicts at all.

In fact, everyone in the Duchy of Standing understood that whether it was Viscount Uncle or Grand Duke Weilun, the biggest supporter behind them was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or Xu Yi.

Don't look at these two lords who can call the wind and rain in the Principality of Standing, but in fact what they want to do depends on the faces of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi.

This is a helpless fact.

The support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is crucial to any party. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gives up its support for one of them, then waiting for the fate of this party must be completely defeated by the other party.

Or to put it more bluntly, only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In other words, only Xu Yi is the only one who can truly determine the internal situation of the Principality of Standing.

And make everyone feel puzzled. Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has such a powerful strength, why not simply send troops to conquer all the lords in the Duchy of Standing instead of choosing the two forces of the Viscount Ankelu and the Grand Duke Weilun?

Or he simply chose to support one of the parties and assist this party to rule the entire Principality of Standing. Wouldn't this be able to obtain greater benefits?

"Actually, I can do that." Xu Yi looked seriously at Uncle and the new Duke Standing, who were sitting on his left and right, respectively.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one in the Duchy of Standing would have believed that Viscount Uncle and Grand Duke Weilun, who are now fighting for the control of the Duchy of Standing, would sit face to face calmly at this moment. There was even a smile on the faces of the two of them, as if they were not enemies at all, but friends.

"The reason why I didn't do this is because I felt that doing so would actually cause too much damage to the Principality of Standing, and it would not be conducive to the development of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing." Xu Yi continued.

Ankelu took a sip of his tea, glanced across at Grand Duke Weilun, who was smiling but looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes, and said with a slight smile, "President Xu, let me guess, Your biggest scruple is that you are worried that the Principality of Standing will continue to be in war, which will seriously affect the population?"

"That's right." Xu Yi nodded slightly. "Our Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of a large number of manpower. The local population of the Principality of Standing is very important to me, and I really don't want them to suffer losses due to the war."

Angru's face sank slightly: "President Xu, with all due respect. If it weren't for your strong support for Earl Weilun, Earl Weilun would never have the courage to launch an attack on other lords, let alone even dare to challenge them in the end. Grand Duke Standing."

Grand Duke Weilun raised his eyebrows on the opposite side and glared at Ankelu angrily: "What? Viscount Ankelu, are you looking down on me? Shall we go back and compete now?"

Ankelu cast a disdainful glance at Grand Duke Weilun, and snorted coldly, "If President Xu hadn't stopped you, I would have beaten your mob to pieces long ago."

Grand Duke Weilun was furious immediately, stood up suddenly, pointed at Ankelu and shouted: "Okay, let's go back to fight immediately. Let's see who is the mob!"

Ankelu was about to answer, Xu Yi, who was walking in the middle, snorted coldly, and the two immediately fell silent, looking at Xu Yi together.

"I don't care if you don't like each other, but since you've come to me, you should sit down and have a good talk!" Xu Yi glanced coldly, and the two glared at each other before sitting down at the same time.

Seeing how the two of them were holding back their anger, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

With the current attitude of these two guys, how can they be expected to coexist peacefully and contribute to the development of the Principality of Standing together?

In fact, if possible, Xu Yi really wanted to directly exclude the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as many lords in the Duchy of Standing had guessed. Sweep away all the opposing voices in the Principality of Constantine. Bring the Principality of Standing fully under your control. That way, no matter how he wants to make a development plan for the Principality of Standing, he can do whatever he wants, without having to be as restrained as he is now.

However, the manpower problem he was worried about was not only in the hands of the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also in the hands of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although the number of guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has continued to expand, it is now close to 3,000.

With the equipment of various military magic machines, as well as long-term training and high quality, the nearly 3,000 guards filled with a large number of dwarf warriors and elf warriors have extremely terrifying combat effectiveness. If you fight head-on, you can even easily defeat more than 10,000 enemies.

But because the manpower is too small, it is okay to protect the current main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it is extremely insufficient to rule the entire Principality of Standing.

Therefore, Xu Yi must find other lords with sufficient strength to act as agents in the Duchy of Standing, and through the proxy to achieve his own planning reforms for the Duchy of Standing.

In this regard, there are advantages and disadvantages between choosing Ankelu and Grand Duke Weilun.

Ankelu has excellent abilities and can understand the situation clearly, and he has a lot of similarities with Xu Yi's ideas. If he cooperates with him, Xu Yi can complete his plan for the Principality of Standing more conveniently and easily.

But Ankelu has a shortcoming that makes Xu Yi very scrupulous. That is, he has great ambitions, in other words, he has great ambitions. It is very difficult for this kind of person to be willing to be inferior to others, and I am afraid that he will not fully obey Xu Yi's arrangements in the future.

Grand Duke Wei Lun is not as good as Anglu in other respects, but he obeys Xu Yiyan and is very suitable as a puppet.

Xu Yi didn't have the ability to get rid of both of them for the time being, so he chose to support the two at the same time and let them check and balance each other.

At least at this stage, because these two people must win the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they will make enough concessions to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was able to call these two people together today because of this.

After a pause, Xu Yi said to Ankelu: "Angkelu, I remember that your ideal is to make people in the Principality of Standing live a good life, right?"

Angru nodded lightly: "Yes, this is my ideal that will never change. But President Xu, now that the Principality of Standing has been mired in war for a year, this is not what I want."

Xu Yi nodded, but did not respond, but turned to Grand Duke Weilun and asked, "So what about you, Grand Duke Weilun? What is your ideal?"

Grand Duke Wei Lun curled his lips: "I don't have such lofty ideals, I just want to live a better life for myself."

"Borth!" Anglu snorted softly.

Grand Duke Wei Lun's eyes widened, and he was about to get angry again.

Xu Yi waved his hand to stop him.

"Okay, since the two of you are not too demanding, it's much simpler. Ankelu, you have visited Banta City. I believe you should be very clear about the influence of Banta City in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now, how much has changed and how much the lives of people in Bangta City have improved."

Angru nodded, turned his head to look in the direction of the Lampari Kingdom, with a hint of fascination in his expression.

"Bangta City at that time was really the most vibrant and dynamic city I have ever seen in my life. If every city in our Principality of Standing could become like Bangta City, then I would die now, There will be no complaints."

"You don't need to die." Xu Yi smiled. "As long as you work closely with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then the Principality of Standing will naturally become the same as Banta City. The people of the Principality of Standing will also become as full of vigor and vitality as the people of Banta City. "

Ankelu pondered for a while, then nodded slowly.

"President Xu, I believe you have this ability. Now in your private territory, people's lives are no different from those in heaven in my opinion. If you can let all the people in the Principality of Standing If you all have such a life, then no matter what you ask me to do, I will be willing. Even...even if you are elected as Grand Duke Standing, I have no objection."

Grand Duke Wei Lun snorted: "Then what am I going to do? Are you going to be the Earl again?"

Ankelu looked cold: "What? What qualifications do you have to be compared with Chairman Xu?"

"Of course I am not qualified to be compared with President Xu. But since I am already Grand Duke Standing, how can President Xu condescend to take my place." Duke Wei Lun said.

Angru was a little puzzled: "Then what do you say?"

"It's very simple." Grand Duke Weilun suddenly became excited. "If you want to talk about me, if President Xu has this intention, he should be the king!" (To be continued...)
