Volume 4 Chapter 108 - Like a family member (1/2)

Volume 4 “Leaving like this?”

Seeing Count Wein leading his subordinates in retreating, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards who were prepared to fight were surprised.

When they saw Lord Wein leading ten thousand troops preparing to attack them, most of them were quite nervous.

After all, comparing it, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s side really was weak. Even if they had the Abundant River to help guard them, to take ten thousand people with only a thousand people, most people thought that it was impossible.

But when the fight began, everyone found that the fight far surpassed their expectations, it was so easy that it was hard to believe.

From beginning to end, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards stayed on the bank and used the large Magic Trebuchets to shoot the large Flame Bullets, while using the new cylinder Magic Repeating Crossbows on the bridge. They hadn’t done anything else.

If the two hundred people on the bridge had contact with Count Wein, the other Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards didn’t even get to see what Count Wein looked like.

From beginning to end, the two sides never fought at close range.

The fight ended just like this and Count Wein had run away with his troops!

This strange fight had never been seen in the history of the Sines Continent.

Seeing the confused guards, Xu Yi laughed. He thought that even though the Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards had more contact with military magic machines, they still couldn’t get rid of their traditional ideas of warfare.

As the Frestech Chamber of Commerce developed more magic machines, creating a revolution in the military situation of the Sines Continent that couldn’t be avoided. If there was anyone who didn’t make this change, they would be like Count Wein, only being able to passively defend and couldn’t even approach the enemy while being slaughtered.

Actually, this change had also been demonstrated in the Lampuri Kingdom’s civil war.

Seveni could lead less than five thousand personal guards to easily defeat the army Count Stagg was because, Seveni’s guards and Seveni herself during their four month stay on Xu Yi’s territory had trained in using the various military magic machines with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards, so they had grasped the new way of fighting.

In actual combat, Seveni’s personal guards with a large number of military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, had completely steamrolled their enemy when facing the army sent by Duke Stagg.

It could be said that during the Lampuri Kingdom’s civil war, each battle had ended the same way. This made it that the civil war that everyone thought would last a long time ended with Seveni’s side coming out on top in less than three months.

Xu Yi wasn’t surprised by this result at all.

To him, soldiers with military magic machines when facing soldiers with normal blades was like an adult bullying a baby.

Soldiers that were stuck in the era of cold weapons couldn’t approach soldiers that were armed with military magic machines, they would fall in droves.

With this difference in strength, what meaning was there to fight?

Xu Yi had rejected Count Wein’s unreasonable request because he was confident in the power of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.

Not mentioning ten thousand people, even if Count Wein brought his entire army of thirty thousand, Xu Yi was certain that they wouldn’t have crossed a single step over the Abundant River.

Not to mention that in the battle just now, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce hadn’t even sent out a single magician.

The only thing that troubled Xu Yi was what he needed to face after this.

Although Count Wein realized the difference in strength between the two sides with this short fight, knowing that he couldn’t invade the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he did have the overwhelming advantage when it came to population.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had no problem guarding their territory, but to depend on a thousand guards to attack Count Wein’s territory really was filled with problems.

Xu Yi was certain that Count Wein would use his advantage and blockade the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If Count Wein blocked all the channels of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, cutting off all their resource lines, this would be a heavy blow to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Although Xu Yi wasn’t really afraid of this because he still had other plans to solve this problem, Xu Yi didn’t want this situation to occur.

He decided to break off all face with Count Wein was to show everyone his fangs, which would be considered a warning to everyone.

“Hart!” Xu Yi turned back to look at the five hundred guards who were waiting and hadn’t participated in the fight at all.

“Here!” Hart focused and replied.

“Set out.”

“Yes!”

With a wave of Hart’s hand, the five hundred guards jumped onto the thirty Magic Armoured Vehicles behind them. They set off across the bridge and headed right in the direction that Count Wein’s army had fled in.
