Marquis Descartes originally thought that Xu Yi unexpectedly made such a tough attitude, which was just a means of negotiation, in order to force the Candela Empire to replace conditions that were more favorable to them.

This kind of negotiation method is also common, so he was only shocked in the early stage and was not in a hurry. While reporting the initial negotiation situation to the senior leaders of the Candela Empire, he was preparing to continue contact with the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom to carry out the next negotiations.

However, to his surprise, both the Ruhrson Kingdom and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce have been toughly rejecting his request for another meeting, so that he and his delegation stayed in Babral for a full week, and they didn't even see any person in charge of the Ruhrson Kingdom and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, let alone Xu Yi, who played a decisive role.

A week later, a message came to the ears of Marquis Descartes, which shocked and everyone in the entire mission.

The Rulson Kingdom and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce escort coalition forces captured the southern city of Mobican in the Taraman province two days ago, on May 3, and now it is approaching the provincial capital of the Taraman province.

"Marquis, these guys seem to... really have no idea to negotiate with us..." A member of the envoy group said to Marquis Descartes in amazement.

Marquis Descartes could no longer keep the calm expression on his face as usual, and his faint smile was full of bitterness.

He had no idea that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom would not have given them any chance of negotiations, and they would just rush their troops to continue the attack.

Do they really think they have the ability to defeat the powerful Kandra Empire?

"Marquis, what should we do now?" asked another member of the envoy.

Marquis Descartes shook his head gently, with a little confused expression.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was completely tougher than his unexpectedly, making him unaware of what to do.

After pondering for a long time, Marquis Descartes sighed deeply.

"Let's wait. The only thing we can do is wait. No matter what, it depends on how we perform on the battlefield. So now... we can only hope that the soldiers of the Empire will not let us down..."

The other members of the envoy looked at me and I looked at you and saw the bitterness in each other's smile.

If the soldiers of the Empire would not disappoint them on the battlefield, why would they appear here? They even have to endure the arrogance of those guys from the Ruthon Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

# # #

From another perspective, the soldiers of the Kandra Empire army did not disappoint the members of the envoy.

Because... they were indeed as everyone expected, and they could not resist the attack of the Luxin coalition.

After the Luxin coalition broke out a more powerful and crazy attack than before, the Taraman province fell faster than the southwestern province.

It took only twenty-one days to break the provincial capital of Taraman Province. The governor of Taraman Province, Duke Lagore, vowed not to retreat and was directly killed in the battle.

The five mages who were requested by the Kandra Empire Army were not spared this time, and one mage fell. Two of the remaining four mages were seriously injured, and the other two were forced to retreat.

After the fall of the province, five northern cities in Taraman Province all surrendered to the Luxin coalition.

At this point, the province of Taraman was completely destroyed.

On May 29, the governor of the Southern Province, Elman Windsor, suddenly declared the independence of the Southern Province and separated from the Candela Empire.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Candela Empire was shocked, and the entire Synes continent was shocked.

On June 7, the southernmost province of the Candela Empire, and the province of Tular, which has the most coastlines in the Candela Empire, also announced its separation from the Candela Empire. However, it did not declare independence, but announced its participation in the Principal of Stantin.

Tural Province is one of the provinces in many provinces of the Kander Empire that has cooperated the most with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In recent years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has built up nearly 100 cooperation projects in the Tural Province, involving almost all aspects of the Tural Province. It can be said to be the province with the deepest penetration.

When the Candela Empire declared the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce a hostile chamber of commerce, although the industries under the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce in the Tular province were also damaged to a certain extent, most of them were preserved through other means, making the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce's power in the Tular province still deeply rooted.

Therefore, after the southern province, Tular Province announced its separation from the Kandra Empire and its annexation to the Principal of Stantin, which still shocked countless people. However, it was not too unexpected to many people.

However, unlike the impact of the southern provinces' declaration of independence, the announcement of separation in the provinces of Tular caused very serious substantial harm to the Candela Empire.

Because the previous cooperation agreement between the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire was limited, the magic industry-related projects invested and developed by the New Air Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire were mainly concentrated in two places.

The first place is an industrial base near the capital Wimbledon City, but its main function is a demonstration. Therefore, the scale is not large.

In comparison, the real cooperation projects between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire can be said to be all concentrated in the Tular Province.

The scale of the magic industry in a province of Tular Province alone is enough to account for more than 70% of all the magic industry industries developed by the Kandra Empire in recent years.

Now that Tular's province has left the Kandera Empire, it has instantly had a serious impact on all aspects of the Kandera Empire, and immediately triggered panic across the country in the Kandera Empire.

More importantly, the separation of the Tular province means that the Kandra Empire lost its southern coastline and all its estuaries.

The current Kandra Empire has almost become a landlocked country.

Of course, people on the Continent of Sains do not have much understanding of this.

The focus of people's attention is the Luxin coalition that is advancing toward the Kandra Empire.

Two provinces were conquered one after another, and during this period the army of the Kandera Empire did not even see any hope of victory on the front battlefield, which seriously damaged the morale and confidence of the Kandera Empire.

Although the Candela Empire did not give up and tried every means to restore the decline, it had no chance of winning on the front battlefield. Even if it wanted to set up an ambush and reverse the situation, it would have turned all ambush into jokes because of the magic airships everywhere in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

As the Luxin coalition advanced step by step towards Wimbledon, the civilians of the Candela Empire did not feel much, but the nobles at the top of the empire were becoming more and more frightened.

After the southwestern provinces and the Tular provinces, a total of thirteen provinces announced their separation from the Kandra Empire and publicly expressed their willingness to cooperate to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to varying degrees.

In this way, nearly half of the provinces in the Kandra Empire had left control.

In the nearly thousand years of history of the Kandra Empire, there have been chaos caused by various reasons. Even the imperial capital Wimbledon was captured, and the entire empire was in war and even approaching a critical moment of destruction.

However, in these critical moments, the Candela Empire can always recover and restore it to a huge empire.

But this time... it is different from all the crises that have happened in the past.

In the past, the Kandra Empire would have been in crisis, mostly due to civil strife.

This time, there was no civil strife in the Kander Empire before. On the contrary, for nearly a hundred years before this, it was called the golden age with the most stable and most developed imperial power in the history of the Kander Empire.

Under normal circumstances, such a Candela Empire is simply impossible to be defeated.

But now the emergence of the New Air Chamber of Commerce has shattered all defenses of the Kander Empire and forced the Kander Empire into chaos.

August 16th is almost the hottest day of the year.

On this day, the Luxin coalition contributed the city of St. Antonis, the southernmost part of the central province of the Candela Empire, and officially entered the scope of the central province, truly threatening the city of Wimbledon, the heart of the Candela Empire.

Five days later, Marquis Descartes once again led an envoy to appear under the city of St. Antonis, and before the Luxin coalition.

However, unlike the self-confidence that was even a little arrogant in four months ago, when the Marquis of Descartes now saw the fully equipped New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce guards in the Luxin coalition again, he no longer had any sense of superiority as the Marquis of the Candela Empire, only endless bitterness and decadence.

The countless battles with the Luxin coalition in the past few months have told everyone that the Kandra Empire, which was extremely powerful in people's minds, was so vulnerable.

The continuous defeats of more than a year since last year completely shattered the confidence of all the nobles of the Candela Empire, like the Marquis of Descartes, and also shattered the arrogance in their hearts.

No matter how much they cursed and hated them, they had to admit that the Empire was helpless when facing the military magic machinery "devil-given" by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Even the Marquis Descartes had a hint of joy and gratitude in his heart.

During these four months, the Candela Empire made many requests for peace talks to the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, and even the Marquis of Descartes came to the Luxin coalition forces many times at risk of his life, but the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce did not respond once.

Now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally gave a positive response and agreed to give the Candela Empire another chance to negotiate. Marquis Descartes was naturally overjoyed, and the top leaders of the entire Candela Empire were also overjoyed.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still willing to negotiate, which proves that there is still hope of easing.

As for what the Candela Empire will become after the peace talks, that is something that will only be considered in the future... (~^~)
