Volume 4 Chapter 135 Making an easy to use piece

A shocking piece of news quickly spread over the entire Stantine Duchy.

Count Wein had officially declared war on Duke Stantine!

Although according to the trend from before, everyone knew that Count Wein would one day declare war on Duke Stantine.

But no one ever expected this day to come so soon.

Even if Count Wein was developing quickly, even if he had swallowed several smaller lords and increased his strength, his territory hadn’t been stabilized yet. Also after going on campaigns again and again, he should stop and recover his strength, how could he declare war on Duke Stantine who was the strongest in the entire duchy?

Not to mention that Duke Stantine had been the duke for over thirty years, no one was able to predict how much strength he had saved up.

Count Wein had rashly chosen to start a war with Duke Stantine, this really wasn’t smart.

But just like when Count Wein fought those other lords, when Count Wein and Duke Stantine began fighting, Duke Stantine’s troops couldn’t stop the attacks of Lord Wein. They kept retreating after each defeat.

In just half a month, Count Wein’s army had advanced two hundred kilometers into Duke Stantine’s territory, seizing a third of the territory under Duke Stantine.

Everyone expected that in the war between Count Wein and Duke Stantine that both sides would either injure each other, or the duke would teach a fierce lesson to Count Wein, but everyone was silent after seeing this situation.

Very soon, there were cries that called for a new duke.

The lords that saw that Count Wein couldn’t be stopped soon began supporting Count Wein in becoming the new Duke Stantine.

There were some lords that even praised Count Wein. They said that it might be the first time the Stantine Duchy was truly unified, making the Stantine Duchy a country with a real duke.

If Count Wein could complete this, he would become the greatest duke in the history of the Stantine Duchy. He would definitely be written into the history of the Stantine Duchy.

Suddenly, the situation in the Stantine Duchy changed.

Duke Stantine received the support of some lords, but after the war began between Count Wein and Duke Stantine, the lords that supported Duke Stantine changed sides.

In the blink of an eye, Count Wein had already become the only choice for the new Duke Stantine.

But Count Wein currently wasn’t feeling any joy at all.

###

“Chairman Xu, these are our next battle plans, please take a look.” Count Wein handed over a thick book, acting very respectful.

It was completely different from before when he was arrogant towards Xu Yi and even attacked his territory in a rage. The current Count Wein couldn’t show any arrogance towards Xu Yi, rather he was very respectful, not daring to show him any disrespect.

Sometimes, Count Wein already felt very angry and ashamed of his manner.

But he couldn’t do anything else.

Although in front of others, especially the other lords of the Stantine Duchy, he was very powerful and could even defeat Duke Stantine, making him the most popular person in the Stantine Duchy.

He was very clear that all of this was established with the support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If he lost the support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he was no different from the other lords, he had nothing at all.

If Xu Yi was dissatisfied, Xu Yi could support another lord to replace him.

As long as he cut off his supply of military magic machines, his battle strength would turn to zero and everything he had would pop like a bubble.

There were times that Count Wein wanted to give up the military magic machines because he thought that his territory, manpower, and supplies were enough to match any lord in the Stantine Duchy. He even wasn’t weaker than Duke Stantine.

But he also knew that if he really lost the military magic machines, his soldiers that were used to using the military magic machines to defeat the other side would have their battle strength drop. It wouldn’t even be able to compare to before.

Using the military magic machines was like drinking poison to sate one’s thirst.

He would be dead if he didn’t use it, but he was also finished if he kept using it.

Count Wein was very helpless about this situation. He couldn’t find any way to solve it, so as time passed, he had given up on finding a solution to this situation.

He already made a decision. Since xu Yi wanted to use him as a piece, he would work hard as a useful piece.

Anyway, Xu Yi only seemed interested in making money, he wasn’t interested in being a lord and having the right to decide the lives of everyone in his territory.

As long as he did the things Xu Yi ordered him, he would certainly become the duke that was the strongest in the Stantine Duchy.

Although the premise was that he would have to listen to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked over the battle plans a few times before putting them on the side.
