"And you just ran back like that?"

Earl Michel narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who were ragged in front of him, even their hair was burnt, and they looked extremely embarrassed. There was a hint of dangerous cold light in their eyes.

The magician Delar, whose black magic robe had long turned into a few pieces of rags, glanced at Michelle's face without shining, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Count Michelle, the reason why we became like this is entirely because the information you gave was wrong. The weapons hidden in the New Air Chamber of Commerce convoy were far more powerful than we imagined, and their president Xu Yi was not a mere level seven magician at all. I am sure that he had at least the strength of a level nine magician!"

Earl Michel snorted coldly and looked at the magician Delar: "What? Are you blaming me?"

The magician Delar was furious and was about to speak, but Everton, whose armor was covered with flame magic and electric magic, was blocked by black and white.

"No, Earl Michel, we don't mean to blame you. However, the strength of the New Air Chamber of Commerce's guards is indeed far beyond our estimate. The 200 men I led are the most elite cavalry team of our army, but they can't even get close to their camp. I think... this is probably beyond your expectations, right?"

Earl Michel was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the strength of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce's guards was so terrifying." Earl Michel glanced at the mottled marks on the two of them and frowned. "You think that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has developed a magic arrow? Can it also use magic crossbows for continuous firing?"

Everton nodded: "Yes. Ordinary arrows can be blocked by magician Dral alone. However, this kind of magic arrows poses a great threat to magicians. I think even if Xu Yi did not take action, we may not be able to break through the defense of these magic arrows and rush into the camp."

"Magic arrows..." Earl Michel knocked his finger on the stool, pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, stood up, and reached out to the two of them. "Okay, Magician Delar, General Everton, my information is indeed not accurate enough this time. It caused you losses and led to the failure of this operation. However, through this operation, I found out that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce had secretly developed important information such as magic arrows. I think Commander Li Nuer must attach great importance to this news. I hope you will explain it to him after you go back."

"Of course."

Half an hour later, Everton and the magician Delar, who had ended the secret meeting, quietly left Count Michelle's private estate outside Dulekton.

Watching the two men's backs disappear into the dark field outside the manor, Earl Michel frowned and fell into deep thought.

This is not the first time that it has been a private cooperation with the Sach Kingdom's Greedy Wolf Legion, but Earl Michel is well aware of the extreme dangers of this cooperation, so he is very cautious every time he chooses to cooperate.

If it weren't for the deep feeling of the threat brought by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, Earl Michel would never choose to take advantage of the Sack Kingdom's attention to the New Air Chamber of Commerce. He privately lured the Greedy Wolf Legion to take action and deliberately induced Earl Will to keep the New Air Chamber of Commerce's convoy out of the city, creating such a good opportunity for a night attack.

Originally, according to the idea of ​​Count Michel, as long as Xu Yi was killed and the core strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was eliminated, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would naturally collapse, thereby greatly weakening its support for Prince Sevini, causing Prince Sevini to lose an extremely important and potential supporter from then on, and further reducing her threat to Prince Eric.

Although Count Michel himself is very optimistic about the prospects of the magic industry advocated by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, it is not convenient for him to clearly support it given his position.

Anyway, even if the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is solved, as long as Prince Eric inherits the throne, there will be opportunities to redevelop the magic industry based on the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce in the future.

But the power reflected by the New Air Chamber of Commerce is far beyond Earl Michel's estimate.

According to the description of Magician Dlar just now, there were only about fifty guards in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the magic crossbow alone forced Magician Dlar to be forced to open the blue guard as a defense.

What shocked Count Michel even more was that with the magic arrows newly developed by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, the mere ordinary guards actually made Delar, a powerful level 8 magician, unable to resist and was forced to escape.

If you compare the strength of both sides, then there are two hundred elite cavalrymen of well-trained and well-equipped Greedy Wolf Legion, who cooperated with an eight-level magician, faced only about fifty ordinary caravan guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Xu Yi's strength is unknown, but according to Dlar, he is at least a powerful magician with the strength of a nine-level magician.

If the role of the magicians on both sides is offset, the Greedy Wolf Legion, which launched the raid, will undoubtedly have an absolute advantage in power.

But the result was that the Greedy Wolf Legion, except for killing three patrol guards at the beginning, did not even touch the side of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce convoy. Instead, it was damaged by two hundred cavalrymen. Only Magicians Delar and Everton escaped with their super personal strength.

The final result was to be formed, and Count Michel had to re-evaluate the New Air Chamber of Commerce in his mind.

In the eyes of most people, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money just by relying on novel magic machinery, but its foundation and strength are far from comparable to those of the old large chambers of commerce in the kingdom.

However, through the failure of this raid tonight, Earl Michel discovered that the New Air Chamber of Commerce may not have a foundation as good as those old-fashioned chambers of commerce, but its strength cannot be underestimated at all.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can develop magic arrows, such weapons that can even threaten powerful magicians in such a short time. So if they are given some time to develop, what novel things can they develop?

Thinking of this, Count Michel suddenly realized that he had always been a little wrong with the positioning of the New Air Chamber of Commerce.

Such a chamber of commerce that can always create miracles is probably no longer the kind of small chamber of commerce he thinks can be controlled at will.

Earl Michel pondered for a moment, picked up the paper and pen and began to write.

"Dear Prince Eric. Regarding the New Air Chamber of Commerce, I have a new suggestion..."

###

The next morning, everyone in the convoy got up from the tent just at dawn.

Without Xu Yi's instructions, everyone diligently packed everything up. After chewing a few bites of dry food, they all got on the magic motorcycle and headed quickly towards the direction of Thurwell City.

This happened last night, making everyone unwilling to stay here.

In this strange place, perhaps only by reaching the territory of Count Samoy can everyone feel at ease.

While the convoy set off, Hart led the five guards he personally selected, escorted the three prisoners who were left yesterday, and drove a cargo magic motorcycle to return to the original road of Bonta City.

According to Xu Yi's instructions, they would not enter any city along the way, try to keep secrets, return to Bangta City as quickly as possible, and report what happened last night to Princess Sevini.

Xu Yi was originally worried that the three prisoners would make a mess on the road, but after Aesus paid a potion to pour a bowl of each of the three prisoners, the three prisoners immediately fell asleep like dead people. It was impossible to make any noise, which made Hart and others much more relaxed.

After the convoy parted ways, Xu Yi led the rest of the magic locomotives to transport supplies at the highest speed. In just one morning, he walked out of the area of ​​Lemart City and set foot on the spacious and flat cement road again.

However, to Xu Yi's surprise, this time the convoy finally drove happily on the highway for two hours, but suddenly found that the road ahead was broken.

Although the road that appears on the other end of the road looks very spacious, it is basically an old mud and gravel road.

Although the road is relatively flat and has good conditions based on the standards of soil and gravel roads, a dirt and gravel road suddenly appeared on the main road connecting the two cities, which still made Xu Yi feel a little surprised.

"I understand, this should be in the area of ​​Barcelona City." A human researcher at the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center who was traveling with Xu Yi was in another city in the Northeast Province. Seeing Xu Yi looked puzzled, he explained to him: "Baturu City is the poorest city in the Northeast Province, no one."

"Are you so poor that you can't even afford to build a road?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"Well... if you really want to build it, you should be able to build it." The institute said with a sigh: "But Earl Longli, the old lord of the city of Barcelona, ​​has always had a good reputation. It is said that he is unwilling to increase the burden on civilians in the city because of the construction of roads, so he refuses to raise funds to build roads like other cities."

Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking that this decision might be praised for loving the people as much as his son from the perspective of ordinary people, but from the perspective of a city lord, it is clearly stupid.

The cost of building a highway costs up to hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Although this will bring a certain financial burden to the city, after the road is built, the benefits to the entire city will be far beyond this investment.

Such examples abound in many cities around Bonta City, and in the long run, the investment is very cost-effective anyway.

This Count Longli's eyes were so short-sighted that Xu Yi couldn't help but look down on him.

"By the way, you just said 'Old City Lord'? That means that Batru City has changed a new City Lord now?" Xu Yi noticed a problem.

"Well, the old city lord is actually the Count of Old Longli. He died early this year because of illness. Now his son has inherited his hereditary Count and the position of the lord."

"That's it..." Xu Yi nodded, thinking that the information he had obtained before was that there were three cities in the Northeast Province who had clearly expressed their support for Prince Eric, namely the city of Lemart, which was the city of Lemmat, which was rejected yesterday, and the city of Batru and another city of Dulekton.

If the deceased Earl Longli, who is the deceased Earl Longli, will the attitude of this Earl Longli, who takes over the title and the position of the city lord, change? (To be continued...)
