A Magic Airship slowly fell down from the sky.
As soon as it landed, Princess Caroline ….. Oh, no, Duke Caroline who had already taken over the position of Duke led a group of subordinates to greet him.
The door of the Magic Airship opened and Xu Yi came out.
"Hey, dear Xu Yi, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Duke Caroline came over and gave Xu Yi a big hug. Then she didn't care about the gazes of the people around them as she pouted her lips and moved closer to Xu Yi's face.
Xu Yi quickly turned his face and avoided her lips. He only let her kiss his face before kissing her cheek, which could be considered an intimate gesture.
"Hey, Caroline, you're someone who's getting married next month, how can you still be this bold?" Xu Yi said in a soft voice beside Duke Caroline's ear.
"Bold?
Am I? "Duke Caroline gave a charming laugh. She let out a soft breath that tickled Xu Yi's ear.
"If you agree now, I'll immediately cancel this marriage. What do you think?"
"Nonsense."
Xu Yi softly reprimanded. He let go of his hands and softly pushed Duke Caroline away before giving a cough and saying with a serious look, "Is everything prepared?"
Duke Caroline gave a shrug, "I don't have much to prepare, I'm just waiting for the people you send."
"Un."
Xu Yi nodded. He waved his hand behind him and a group of people wearing the uniform of the New Flyer came out of the Magic Airship.
"These are the people in charge of the initial survey that came with me.
Come, let me introduce them. This is the person in charge of the Dor City's magic defense project, Gustalo. "
A tall middle aged human man came forward and gave a bow to Duke Caroline.
"Greetings to your excellency."
Grand Duke Caroline looked at him from head to toe and extended her hand with a smile.
"Since Chairman Xu sent you here, I have full trust in you.
Supervisor Gustalo, I'll leave the defense of Dor City to you. "
Gustalo hesitated for a moment, before taking Grand Duke Caroline's outstretched hand and gently kissing it. He respectfully replied, "I will serve you wholeheartedly."
"Very good."
Grand Duke Caroline's eyes darted around. She swept her gaze over the other New Flyer employees behind Xu Yi and made an inviting gesture.
"I've already set up a banquet in the city. Chairman Xu and everyone else, please follow me."
Xu Yi shook his head, glanced at Gustav and said: "Time is of the essence, they don't have that much time to attend the banquet.
Gustalo, you should seize the time to investigate the situation of the city walls and try to come up with some rough data by today.
The R&D center is still waiting. "
"Yes."
Gustalo immediately nodded, then turned to Grand Duke Caroline and said: "Your excellency, please send some people who are familiar with Dor City to work with us."
Grand Duke Caroline was a little dazed: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?
You came from so far away, you should at least have a meal and get used to it. "
"No need, we don't have that much time. We don't know when the next wave of attack from the Malor Empire will come.
And as long as they come, it will be a very fierce wave of attack. You don't want the precious land that you have just obtained to be snatched back by the Malor Empire in the blink of an eye, right? "Xu Yi said.
Grand Duke Caroline sighed softly. She waved her hand behind her, and the two officials of the Drake Duchy who came with her to welcome them quickly walked over.
"Supervisor Gustalo, these are the two officials who are in charge of the overall defense of Dor City. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
"Okay."
Supervisor Gustalo no longer stood on ceremony and directly went to talk to the two officials.
"Xu Yi, I find it very strange a lot of times. How did you train the employees of your chamber of commerce to be like this?
It's as if they only have work in their eyes and nothing else. "
Grand Duke Caroline looked at Gustalo and the other group of New Flyer employees who were discussing enthusiastically and couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Yi smiled and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you say.
The employees of our chamber of commerce are very playful when they are free, but they have always been very serious when working.
This is my strict requirement for them. Of course, they can accept and consciously do this mainly because they feel a sense of accomplishment in their work. "
"Sense of accomplishment?" Grand Duke Caroline frowned slightly.
"What kind of sense of accomplishment?"
"Think about it. Because of their efforts, they can make Dor City, an inconspicuous small city, able to withstand the attack of the huge Malor Empire. Don't tell me they don't feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Grand Duke Caroline was silent for a moment and asked: "Xu Yi, answer me seriously. After the city's system magic defense system is built, can it really make Dor City so stable that it can withstand the attack of the Malor Empire's army?"
"The city's defense has never been solved by just relying on a system. But I can tell you that as long as there are no problems in other aspects of Dor City, this defense system is enough to make Dor City last for at least a month without falling — — no matter how many troops the Malor Empire sends." Xu Yi replied seriously.
"What if the Malor Empire sends out Magisters?" Grand Duke Caroline asked again.
"Magisters?" Xu Yi laughed.
"Heh, if the Malor Empire is willing to risk the taboo of all magicians on the continent and send out Magisters to attack other countries, then they have already lost half of the battle.
As for the Magisters themselves … … I admit that the individual ability of a Magister is very strong, but you have to remember that the role of a single person in a war is very limited. Even if the Malor Empire really sends out Magisters, they can't do anything to this magic defense system that our chamber of commerce has painstakingly built after a long period of research and development. "
Grand Duke Caroline looked at Xu Yi doubtfully. She didn't understand why he was so confident.
Magisters had always been the top fighting force on the continent. In the history of the Sines, as long as one side had more great magicians, it was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
Once a Magister appeared, it was enough to quickly tip the scales of victory towards the side with the Magisters.
The reason why the Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire were able to stand tall on the Sines for so many years was not only because they maintained absolute strength most of the time, but also because they had Magisters to hold the fort when they were in decline. This had a lot to do with the fact that other countries couldn't truly defeat them.
When the Sorcerers Guild was established, it was a tradition that Magisters couldn't participate in invading other countries. Although this ensured that the two empires couldn't easily invade other countries, it also allowed the two empires to stand tall.
However, this tradition was only an unwritten agreement. If the Malor Empire really broke this tradition, other than the Kandla Empire and the Mana Magic Kingdom, which had the third largest number of Magisters, no other countries or forces on the continent were qualified to restrain them.
This time, the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire had joined forces, which was extremely rare. They even joined forces with the Mana Magic Kingdom and other countries to declare war on the New Flyer. What worried the New Flyer the most was that the other side would dispatch Magisters to participate in the invasion.
Although the other side didn't intend to break this tradition so far, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't do so.
After all, even something as impossible as the two empires joining forces had happened. It wasn't completely impossible for something else to happen.
However, now that Xu Yi said to Grand Duke Caroline that the role of Magisters in war was very limited, it didn't matter even if the Malor Empire dispatched Magisters. This made Grand Duke Caroline unable to understand.
"I'll tell you the truth, Caroline. The final goal of the city defense system that our chamber of commerce developed is actually to prevent the appearance of Magisters.
As for any conventional army of the two empires, even if it doesn't include our New Flyer guards, your Delar Duchy's army wouldn't be afraid, right? "
"Yes …" Grand Duke Caroline nodded.
When the Drake Duchy joined forces with the Lampari Kingdom to fight against the Malor Empire and the Frankish Kingdom, the other side didn't have any ability to fight back.
With the huge difference in fighting strength between the two sides, the so-called difference in military strength was simply insignificant.
In fact, even if they didn't join forces with the Lampari Kingdom, with just the Drake Duchy's army, not to mention the Malor Empire's regular army, there wouldn't be any pressure when facing the Frankish Kingdom's army.
"So, the reason why I'm helping you build this city defense system in Dor City, which is not far from the Malor Empire's border, is to defend against the possible attack of the Malor Empire and even the appearance of Magisters." Xu Yi continued.
"Think about it, if even Magisters can't take down this city, what do you think the Malor Empire will think?
What would the other countries on the continent think? "
Grand Duke Caroline thought for a bit before revealing a smile.
"If even Magisters can't do anything to us, it means that this land will truly fall into the hands of our Drake Duchy and no one will be able to take it away."
"That's right.
At that time, you'll no longer be the Grand Duke of the Drake Duchy, but rather the Queen of the Drake Kingdom. "Xu Yi smiled.
