Volume 7 Chapter 56 - Don???t Offend The Frestech Chamber Of Commerce (1/2)

Xu Yi promising to support the Rudson Kingdom wasn’t just empty talk.

A week after he met with Duke Boris, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Rudson Kingdom announced together that two iron mines and four Magic Crystal mines in the northeast of the Rudson Kingdom had been sold to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

This statement didn’t seem that special at first because with the finances of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it wasn’t a problem for them to buy several mines.

Moreover, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce has been wildly collecting mineral resources over the past few years. According to an incomplete data report, the iron mines that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce controlled whether openly or secretly numbered over three hundred. It could even be said that they were the company with the most iron ore and other mineral resources on the continent.

But in the later statement released by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it revealed the truth behind this matter.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce stated that in order to better develop these mines, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be sending a division of their guards to guard these six mines. They would work with the local Rudson Kingdom army to protect these mines.

In order to provide support for the guards, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would also be building a base right in the center of these six mines.

Just based on this, it didn’t seem that special.

But if one looked at the map carefully, they would notice that the base that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was building was less than fifty kilometers away from the previous border with the Norton Duchy.

Because the Norton Duchy had already been annexed by the Candra Empire, once this Frestech Chamber of Commerce base was built, it would only be fifty kilometers away from the border with the Candra Empire.

The people who understood the situation of the continent could easily see that once the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s base was built, it would be a nail placed in front of the Candra Empire.

Although the Candra Empire and the Rudson Kingdom’s border wasn’t short, the only place that the Candra Empire could easily enter the Rudson Kingdom was the east border and the northern border.

Now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had set up this base at the border and stationed their guards there, that was telling people that anyone who entered this area without the agreement of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was an enemy. It was equal to setting up a forbidden zone.

If the Candra Empire tried to invade the Rudson Kingdom this way, they would definitely enter the range of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.

Anyone could see that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce doing this was giving a warning to the Candra Empire.

“It’s just a company and they dare to act this arrogantly!”

Emperor Candra had a dark look on his face as he read the report in his hand. There was a cold look in his eyes and he gave a snort that was filled with rage.

“This Xu Yi, he really thinks that he can act like this just because of a few military magic machines?”

The commander in chief of the Candra Empire army, the imperial marshal Campbell Sudman, gave a sigh.

“It’s a pity, but your majesty, this is the truth. Even Arch Magi can’t resist the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines, it’s even more possible for a normal army to resist them. So just based on military might, it isn’t just our Candra Empire, but the entire continent that no one can deal with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.”

“But they are still only a company in the end, aren’t they?” Emperor Candra asked, “Could it be that we can’t slowly wear down a company with absolute superiority in population?”

“That is impossible.” Marshal Sudman shook his head, “Your majesty, the army headquarters has performed a detailed calculation into this and the final results are that the possibility of doing this would be close to zero.”

“Why?”

“First, I’ve mentioned it before. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce has powerful military magic machines that people can’t even imagine, so a normal army can’t face them at all. The only thing that can resist them would be military magic machines of the same level. No matter how many soldiers our empire has, as long as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards still have supplies, they would only send themselves to a meaningless death.”

“You mean that the empire army can’t even harm the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards at all?”

Hearing this question, Marshal Sudman was silent for a bit before giving a long sigh with a desolate look.

“Your majesty, I am very unwilling to admit this, but this is the case.”

Emperor Candra also fell silent this time.

After several minutes, he finally spoke again.
