Volume 6 Chapter 142 - Who Changes First (1/2)

Xu Yi wasn’t as Great Magician Ferguson thought he was, deliberately avoiding him and he really was busy.

After more than half a year of preparations, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s first official base on the sea was starting construction.

Xu Yi was very serious about this sea base, so he had personally come to show everyone how important this was to him.

The first sea base was between the Stantine Duchy and the Rudson Kingdom’s seas, being over two hundred kilometers away from the coast. It was also thirty kilometers more to the south of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s naval transportation route.

If this base was complete, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would have a true foothold in the endless seas.

Any Frestech Chamber of Commerce boat or personnel could come here to get supplies and shelter, but this was only open to the members of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and not outsiders.

To put it simply, this was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s first step onto the endless seas. Not only would it act like a small supply base like the ones that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had set up on the others islands, it would would two Frestech Chamber of Commerce guard fleets stationed here all year round, while also having two thousand guards deployed here.

Other than having an active military force, this base that was built on the largest island in the Rudson Kingdom’s sea, Giant Deer Island would have one hundred and fifty Magic Cannons, over five hundred Magic Trebuchets, along with the powerful military magic machines brought along by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards. Then adding in the two powerful ships that they brought, this island could be considered impregnable.

“Chairman Xu, with such a powerful force, even if the Candra Empire navy took action, they would be helpless against you.”

The one standing beside Xu Yi was one of the Rudson Kingdom’s four great commanders, Kassadin Monroe. He had come here today for the opening ceremony on the invitation of Xu Yi.

From the large Magic Ship, seeing the fierce looking Magic Cannons and Magic Trebuchets below, as well as the battlements that had been installed on the island, he couldn’t help voicing his thoughts.

Xu Yi looked at him and revealed a faint smile, “With the current strength of the Candra Empire, they wouldn’t dare make a move against us. But when the Candra Empire navy starts developing, that will be hard to say.”

“This……” General Monroe hesitated a bit before forcing out a smile, “Chairman Xu, actually, as long as your company stops selling guard ships to the Candra Empire navy…..I feel that they would never threaten this place.”

Xu Yi had a ghost of a smile as he asked back, “Why wouldn’t I sell if there’s money involved?”

General Monroe’s expression scrunched, but he couldn’t say a thing.

After being silent for a bit, he gave a sigh and shook his head. He calmed his heart before asking, “Then…..chairman Xu, the matter of selling our Rudson Kingdom guard ships……”

Xu Yi reached a hand out to general Monroe, “I’ve already said it before, this matter is very simple. One hand for the money and one hand for the goods.”

General Monroe could only reveal a bitter smile, “Chairman Xu, you should know that we can’t take out that much money.”

“Then you should think of another way.”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. This general Monroe wasn’t wrong at all, the Rudson Kingdom really couldn’t take out this money now.

Although they had pushed back the Candra Empire twice which had raised the Rudson Kingdom’s fame on the continent.

They had completely offended the Candra Empire which was one of the two empires of the continent, which had brought a great disaster to the Rudson Kingdom.

Even if Candra Empire didn’t dare invade the Rudson Kingdom after being defeated twice, there was a large difference in national strength between the two countries. The Candra Empire had immediately completely blockaded the Rudson Kingdom after the battles and easily shut off the Rudson Kingdom’s contact with the outside world.

The Rudson Kingdom was quite rich in resources and had lived quite a good life by exporting goods to other countries, but because of the blockade of the Candra Empire, the Rudson Kingdom’s new magic machine industry products couldn’t be exported. The export of traditional resources like minerals and lumber also suffered a heavy blow.

If it wasn’t for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce reaching their hands out at the last second, defeating the Candra Empire navy and guaranteeing that the Rudson Kingdom could still have a southern port to export from, helping the Rudson Kingdom with a place to export their domestic products, they would have already been in chaos because of the blockage.

But the Frestech Chamber of Commerce only helped the Rudson Kingdom maintain this sea route and didn’t break the Candra Empire’s land blockade, so the Rudson Kingdom’s development was very limited.

The current Rudson Kingdom was still stable internally, with most of the citizens living better lives because of the magic machine industry, it was hard for them to take a further step and develop more.

King Teruc who always had lofty aspirations couldn’t take this situation.

It was impossible with the current national strength of the Rudson Kingdom to break through the powerful land blockade of the Candra Empire, so the Rudson Kingdom had decided to form a navy and break their blockade from the sea, allowing them to have a free sea path.

To do this, naturally they couldn’t forget about the support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If they couldn’t buy enough guard ships and military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, breaking through the blockade of the Candra Empire’s navy was a fool’s dream.
