Looking at the thick black smoke coming from below and the flames that lit up the city, it was clear that the city was in chaos. Everyone looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
Count Gandal who had just been promoted to the head of the Kandla Empire's business department was silent for a bit before he couldn't help opening his mouth.
"Chairman Xu, I thought that the Kuranyi Kingdom would at least prepare a battle array and properly welcome us ….."
Xu Yi knit his brows. After thinking for a bit, he waved his hand behind him and called over the commander of the Magic Airship he was on.
"Send down the order, send out a small team to investigate outside.
Based on the situation here, the culprits shouldn't have gone far. Bring those fellows back for me. "
"Yes."
The commander left with this order and quickly passed down Xu Yi's orders through the communication device of the Magic Airship.
After a while, the eight Magic Airships split into groups of two and flew off in four different directions.
"Chairman Xu, it's like this down there, should we … …" Seeing that Xu Yi's expression wasn't good, Gandal and Marquis's tone became cautious.
"Wait for a bit, I'll go down and take a look."
After Xu Yi said this, he suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.
Gandal, Marquis, and the representatives of the various countries and companies that came with Xu Yi were all stunned.
The meaning of Xu Yi's words was ….. He was actually going down to the city to investigate the situation?
This was too risky!
But everyone quickly reacted.
Xu Yi had already reached the Arch Magus Realm ten years ago, how could there be any danger?
Thinking of this, everyone put down their worries about Xu Yi's safety.
But seeing the chaos in the city below, everyone was filled with worry about the future of this operation.
For this investment in the Kuranyi Kingdom, the countries and companies that they represented weren't that confident. The reason why they sent representatives was because of Xu Yi, it wasn't because they had that much confidence in the Kuranyi Kingdom.
They thought that Xu Yi would have already arranged everything, which was why he brought them all here.
But they never thought that as soon as they arrived, they would see the Kuranyi Kingdom's capital city falling into chaos. It didn't look like it was "stable and suitable for investment" at all.
If it wasn't for Xu Yi, their first reaction after seeing this scene would have been to immediately turn and leave.
A country that couldn't even protect its capital city, what value did it have to invest in?
This question also appeared in Xu Yi's mind before he threw it out.
He chose the Kuranyi Kingdom as the first target of the Eastern Development Plan, not because the environment here was good enough, but because the environment here was bad enough.
As early as two years ago, when he decided to carry out this plan and chose the Kuranyi Kingdom as the target, Xu Yi already had a good understanding of the situation in the Kuranyi Kingdom through many investigations.
This Kuranyi Kingdom … Strictly speaking, it never had a relatively complete national system, so it was a bit of a stretch to call it a kingdom.
Although the Kuranyi Kingdom had always had a king, but since the establishment of the Kuranyi Kingdom more than three hundred years ago, its kings had changed as many as eleven surnames, and no family had been able to rule the kingdom for more than thirty years.
Such a country with extremely unstable evidence and frequent rebellions was obviously not a suitable place for investment.
But Xu Yi chose this place.
His idea was simple. If he could fully integrate this country into the magic machine industry development system and make it a stable country that could focus on developing the magic machine industry, then among the countries in the eastern part of the continent, there would be no country that couldn't solve this problem.
From another point of view, this choice was not very rational.
After all, if he chose a country with a better environment, the results would come faster and easier.
But Xu Yi's goal was to develop the entire eastern part of the continent, so he deliberately chose the most difficult target as his first target so that he could progress faster in the future.
But … The reality in front of him made it difficult for him to take the first step.
"Help —"
Suddenly, there was a cry from the front left, and then it stopped abruptly.
Xu Yi frowned, moved his body, and instantly flashed to the place where the sound came from.
Several brawny men wearing leather armor and holding large swords were surrounding a woman whose clothes had been stripped off. One of the brawny men had already taken off his trousers and was approaching the woman with a sinister smile.
The woman's mouth was covered by a strong man, and her hands were tied together by another strong man. She couldn't move at all and was about to be defiled.
Xu Yi snorted coldly, and several wind blades suddenly flew out and accurately cut the necks of the strong men.
The strong men only felt a chill on their necks, and then several mouthfuls of blood spurted out. They didn't even have time to make a sound before they fell to the ground.
Xu Yi picked up a windbreaker and threw it to the woman, then took out the magic communicator again.
"Send guards down and maintain order in the city."
After giving the order to the guards, Xu Yi suddenly flew up and looked around in the air. He quickly locked on to the buildings built on a hill in the north of the city.
That was the palace of the Kuranyi Kingdom. At this time, there were a few plumes of black smoke and several flames coming out of it. Obviously, it was not spared.
Seeing this, Xu Yi immediately understood that he might have encountered another rebellion in the Kuranyi Kingdom.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi's body flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he was already above the palace.
Looking down, he found that the palace was filled with the sounds of killing. There were all kinds of strangely shaped corpses and blood everywhere. It seemed that the rebellion was not completely over yet.
However, Xu Yi didn't have much hope for the situation here because he had already tried to contact the king of the Kuranyi Kingdom with the magic communicator, but there was no response.
So, either the king threw away the special magic communicator given to him by the New Flyer, or he was already dead.
Xu Yi looked around and flew to a group of soldiers who were holding swords and running around. They were wearing the same style of leather armor as the strong men he saw earlier.
The soldiers suddenly saw a person flying in the air. After being stunned for a moment, they immediately attacked Xu Yi without holding back.
Of course, the simple bows and arrows in their hands posed no threat to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi easily killed the rest of the soldiers, leaving only one guy who looked like the leader alive.
Through the Illusion Magic that he had learned from elder Undine and the deep research he had done on it, Xu Yi easily obtained the information he wanted from this leader.
Just as he guessed, there was a rebellion in the Kuranyi Kingdom.
And according to the information provided by the leader, the one who started this rebellion was General Lefalu of the Kuranyi Kingdom.
With his decisive military power and the arrangements he made in advance, when the rebellion started, he had already killed the king. He also took the opportunity to kill a large number of ministers and generals who opposed him. Now, he had basically controlled the situation in the capital.
As for why he suddenly chose this time to start the rebellion, the leader didn't know.
Xu Yi also knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him, so he asked for General Lefalu's current location and went straight to him.
A few minutes later, Xu Yi went straight into the Kuranyi Kingdom's council hall, which was located in the center of the palace.
Looking up, there was a tall figure sitting on the throne. It wasn't the king of the Kuranyi Kingdom that Xu Yi had met several times with the New Flyer, but it was a big man with a rough face.
Seeing Xu Yi suddenly appear, the big man was stunned for a moment. He then shouted and stopped his subordinates from attacking Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu!
You're the Chairman Xu of the New Flyer, right? "The big man looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes. Not only was there no fear, but there was also a look of surprise on his face.
Xu Yi wasn't surprised that the big man recognized him, because his image often appeared in the major newspapers and the illusions projected by various Magic Illusion Projectors. He was already known by many people in the Sines.
"You're General Lefalu?" Xu Yi asked back.
The big man laughed and patted his chest hard.
"That's right, I'm General Lefalu!
Chairman Xu, you're here this time to bring people to invest in the Kuranyi Kingdom, right? "
Xu Yi wasn't surprised that the big man knew about this. After all, he was the Kuranyi Kingdom's General with military power.
However, he frowned and didn't intend to answer the big man's question. He asked again, "You killed King Simpson?"
General Lefalu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xu Yi to ask this question.
After looking up and down at Xu Yi, he still laughed loudly and said, "That's right, I killed him.
That bastard Simpson actually secretly planned to get rid of me. How could I let him have his way! "
"I don't care about the grudge between you and King Simpson, but great general Lefalu, King Simpson is our Frestech Chamber of Commerce's partner. You killed him and caused the Kuranyi Kingdom to fall into chaos, hindering our Frestech Chamber of Commerce's investment plans, so how are you planning on compensating us?"
General Lefalu narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Yi, "What?
You plan to avenge that old bastard Simpson? "
Xu Yi was silent.
General Lefalu grunted, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Chairman Xu, I don't think this will hinder the investment plans of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although that old bastard Simpson is dead, the Kuranyi Kingdom still exists.
As long as the New Flyer supports me to take control of the kingdom, then I will give the New Flyer much better conditions than Simpson. What do you think? "
Xu Yi looked at him, then looked at the soldiers who were ready to make a move. He smiled and shook his head.
"Sorry, I don't like to cooperate with people like you.
And what you said just now reminded me that since King Simpson is dead, you can take control of the Kuranyi Kingdom and cooperate with us.
In that case, why don't we take control of the Kuranyi Kingdom ourselves? "
General Lefalu's expression changed greatly.
