Volume 4 Chapter 107 - Defensive battle on the bridge (1/2)

Count Wein’s face sunk. After thinking for a bit, he came out of the ranks and looked down on Xu Yi as he said in a deep voice, “What? Chairman Xu, are you afraid after seeing my large army? Are you willing to accept my conditions?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and shook his head, “No, I’m just here to urge the Lord Count that since we had a good cooperation before, there is no need to destroy the good relationship between us. If you draw back your army now, I can treat it as nothing happened and we can continue our happy cooperation.”

“Humph!” Count Wein gave a strong snort, “Happy cooperation? I have given many important resources from my territory to your Frestech Chamber of Commerce to obtain the military magic machines. If we continue cooperating like this, are you planning to entirely swallow my territory?”

Xu Yi looked at Count Wein in surprise, thinking that this lord really was good at laying out false charges.

It was clearly him who was too greedy and wanted to swallow the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but now he said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wanted to swallow him.

Of course……Xu Yi did have this thought before if he was being honest……

“Sir lord, I am only a merchant, the cooperation between us is a normal business deal. As long as you give our company enough gold coins or the resources we need, naturally we will provide the military magic machines that you need. No matter what, hasn’t our Frestech Chamber of Commerce helped greatly in you defeating Count Fran and the other lords?”

Count Wein gave a cold snort, but he didn’t deny this.

This was a fact that everyone knew, instead of denying it, he deeply accepted this face.

“Alright, let’s not waste words between us. I will only ask you a single question, do you agree or not to my request from before?” Count Wein asked in a cold voice.

Xu Yi shook his head, “Lord Count, I said it just now, I am a merchant. To merchants, business must be done fairly and to treat customers differently, that goes against the principles of a merchant, so I can’t agree to this.”

Count Wein gave another cold snort, “You dare say you don’t treat people differently? Forgetting about the others, when you supported the Lampuri Kingdom’s her highness Seveni with military magic machines, you treated her very differently from others.”

Xu Yi gave a shrug, “I think the Lord Count should be very clear that her highness Seveni is indeed different from others. The most important thing is that she is my friend.”

“Friend?” Count Wein gave a laugh, “What a joke! You’re saying you are a friend of the honoured queen? Ha!”

Xu Yi couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Although he felt that once Seveni became the queen of the Lampuri Kingdom, they wouldn’t have the same pure friendship that they had before, hearing this from Count Wein was very grating.

“Alright, Lord Count, it seems like you’re not pulling back your troops today?” Xu Yi asked.

“Nonsense!” Count Wein raised the sword in his hand to point at Xu Yi, “Since I have led my army here, you’re not hurrying to surrender? I’m telling you, if you’re willing to surrender, I can leave a position for you. If you’re not willing…..Hei, hei, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Xu Yi’s eyes fell onto the ten thousand shapes behind Count Wein. Their formation wasn’t united at all and they were wearing scattered armour. He revealed a smile and spread his hands, “Since the Lord Count isn’t willing to pull back, I also will not flinch. Then Lord Count…..let us see how this fight will end. That is on the premise that you are still alive at that time.”

Count Wein’s expression changed and he roared, “Since you are here, you still want to leave? Keep him here for me!”

With Count Wein’s order, the five hundred archers behind him raised the Magic Repeating Crossbows in their hands and pulled the trigger.

“Sou, sou, sou, sou, sou……”

Countless arrows flew through the sky. The sky in front of Xu Yi was completely filled with arrows in an instant, looking like the arrows were blotting out the sky, making it look very terrifying.

Seeing the traces of magic that was scattered among these arrows, Xu Yi couldn’t help laughing.

Just to deal with a single person, Count Wein had used Magic Arrows that had cost three gold coins per arrow, he really thought highly of him.

The arrow rain that blotted out the sky, with a rough estimate, it cost close to a thousand gold coins.

It was no wonder Count Wein always complained to Xu Yi that war cost too much, complaining that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce military magic machines were too expensive.

With his way of using them, it would be strange if he didn’t spend that much.

Seeing the rain of arrows that covered the sky, Xu Yi waved his hand and a pale blue magic barrier surrounded him.

Those normal arrows hit the magic barrier and didn’t react at all. They just bounced weakly onto the ground and fell around the magic barrier.

Those Magic Arrows that were a bit stronger created ripples along the magic barrier like ripples on water before the glow around them also disappeared and they fell to the ground like normal arrows.

In a single breath, Xu Yi was surrounded in arrows, but there wasn’t a single arrow that had entered his magic barrier.

Seeing Xu Yi’s relaxed look, Count Wein had a dark look as he raised his hand to stop the archers from shooting.

Although with the data from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before, with the terrifying power of the Magic Repeating Crossbow, they could deal with a high grade magician.

This data came from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so Count Wein wasn’t certain about it.

Moreover, the Magic Repeating Crossbows were produced by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so Xu Yi as the chairman had his special method of dealing with them.

Seeing the other side stop their attack, Xu Yi waved his hand to Count Wein before flying off.

Watching Xu Yi fly in the sky, Count Wein forcefully gritted his teeth. He forced down the urge to have his crossbow unit fire at the sky.
