The Candra Emperor looked at the document on the table in front of him and didn't say a thing.
This document was only a piece of information, but it was placed at the top of all the documents. This meant that of all the things he needed to take care of today, this was the most important one.
This thick piece of information was over ten thousand words, but in summary, it only described one thing.
Xu Yi was back.
"This fellow ….. Why didn't he just stay on the Demon Cloud Continent and not come back?
Or perhaps ….. wouldn't it be better if he just died on the Demon Cloud Continent? "The Candra Emperor revealed a bitter smile.
Actually to him, his thoughts towards Xu Yi as the New Flyer's chairman had always been very complicated.
If it was purely from the perspective of the Kandla Empire, he should be very grateful to Xu Yi and the New Flyer he represented.
First, the New Flyer brought the agricultural magic machines and cooperated with the elves. They obtained the plant growth ability that the elves weren't willing to share with other races, creating fertilizer.
With the help of these two things, the current grain yield of the Kandla Empire had greatly increased. Compared to thirty years ago when the New Flyer hadn't appeared, it had increased by close to ten times.
With this wild increase in grain yield, the Kandla Empire didn't need to worry about famine anymore. The empire's rule naturally became much more stable and they didn't need to worry about the appearance of disaster victims at all.
Even if there was a large scale famine, with the grain reserves of the Kandla Empire each year, it wouldn't cause any problems at all.
If it was in the past, this would be unimaginable.
Of course, there were many things that were unimaginable in the past.
To the Candra Emperor, the second thing after increasing grain yield was improving transportation.
The Kandla Empire was a very large empire.
From the northernmost point to the southernmost point of the empire, it was over four thousand kilometers in a straight line.
Even if one used the fastest horse and ran without rest, it would take at least three days to run from the northernmost point to the southernmost point.
But in reality, because of the problem of manpower and horses, as well as the obstruction of the roads, it would take at least half a month to complete this journey.
This made it so that no matter what happened in the empire, it would take several days for it to reach the ears of the emperor. This greatly affected the control and influence of the empire's central government on the empire.
In the current Kandla Empire, there were countless roads that crisscrossed, forming a road network that connected all the cities and towns of the empire.
Adding in the Magic Car that the New Flyer brought, it would only take a day or two to reach any place in the empire.
Even setting aside the various civilian benefits, the fact that it could allow the central command of the Empire's army to arrive at any location in the Empire within a day or two greatly increased the Emperor's control over the Empire.
Think about it, as long as you, of the empire of the empire's army, of the empire's of you in a day or two.
With this kind of deterrence, which noble would choose to rebel without knowing death?
Then again, the various magic machine industries in the Kandla Empire were developing and because the New Flyer was cooperating with the empire, the other magic machine companies were also working with the empire. This allowed the empire to have the greatest control over the magic machine industry in the empire.
This meant that if the nobles of the empire wanted to participate in the magic machine industry, they had to work closely with the empire. That way, they would have better opportunities for development.
Participating in the magic machine industry would give them large benefits that far surpassed what they could get from their territory, so how could the nobles of the empire not wisely rebel?
Other than these two points, among the changes that the New Flyer brought to the Kandla Empire, the one that the Candra Emperor liked the most was the magic communication network.
With the magical communication network that covered the entire Empire, he was able to know everything that happened in every part of the Empire right away. He could also know everything that happened with the help of the magical illusion images.
This was much better than sitting in the royal palace before, waiting for the reports from below after being delayed for several days. It also gave him the joy of being the ruler of this large empire.
Or to put it more directly, for the previous Candra Emperor, he knew that he was the incomparably honourable emperor of the Kandla Empire, but because of his status, it was hard for him to come into contact with all aspects of this large empire. Even if he sat on the throne of the emperor, he didn't feel that real.
But now, the New Flyer had a large transportation network, fast and convenient transportation, as well as an even more convenient magic communication network. It made him feel like he was ruling the empire and he truly felt like he was the emperor.
From this angle, of course he had to thank the New Flyer and Xu Yi for bringing all of this to him.
But looking at it from another angle, the Candra Emperor hated Xu Yi to the core.
That's right, Xu Yi and the New Flyer he represented had caused a heaven shaking change in the Kandla Empire, making him the greatest emperor in the history of the empire by countless people, but the Candra Emperor felt that his power was far from before.
The reason was very simple, it was because there was a New Flyer pressing down on him.
Yes, the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire were the two strongest empires on the Sines. The Kandla Empire was even stronger than the Malor Empire, so it wasn't excessive to call them the strongest countries on the continent.
But because of the existence of the New Flyer, whether it was the Kandla Empire or the Malor Empire, they had to consider the thoughts of the New Flyer no matter what they did.
If there was something that the two empires wanted to do and the New Flyer didn't agree to, the two empires had no choice but to listen to the New Flyer's opinion and give up.
There were even many times when the New Flyer didn't need to make a clear stance and the two empires had to consider the possible attitudes of the New Flyer when they did something.
This feeling was very bad.
Even if he was the incomparably respected emperor of the Kandla Empire, the Candra Emperor had to consider many factors and make compromises on some things.
But this was just a choice that he made after considering the benefits of all sides.
But now that he was facing the New Flyer, he only had scruples. It could even be said that he was ….. afraid.
Even if the Candra Emperor never admitted it, he was very clear in his heart.
Eleven years ago when the New Flyer worked with the Kingdom of Ruhr against the Kandla Empire, it had left an indelible mark in his heart.
The strength of the New Flyer's military magic machines made the two empires unable to resist at all.
Especially when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's terrifying attack that collapsed a mountain peak, it had shattered everyone's fighting spirit. It made countless people in the empire unable to think of becoming enemies with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards when they mentioned them.
So the Candra Emperor had to endure, he had to worry, he had to respect, and it could even be said that he had to listen to Xu Yi's opinion.
This was simply a humiliation for him, the powerful Emperor of the Empire!
Now, it had been eleven years since that battle that had destroyed everyone's fighting spirit.
In these eleven years, the Kandla Empire and the New Flyer had worked together, wildly developing their magic machine industry. With the help of the New Flyer and their own hard work, they had built a complete magic machine industry.
In secret, the Kandla Empire had wildly invested in military magic machines and had already produced extraordinary results.
According to the secret tests of the empire's army headquarters, the military magic machines of the Kandla Empire weren't weaker than the military magic machines that the New Flyer had shown eleven years ago.
But no one thought that the New Flyer would stagnate in these eleven years, so the Candra Emperor had been very careful and had been waiting for the right time.
Just last year, the time had finally come.
The « Continental Peace Treaty » had been signed for ten years, but when it was about to end, Xu Yi who had signed the « Continental Peace Treaty » had left the Sines!
Without Xu Yi, the New Flyer had lost their leader. After the Candra Emperor considered it carefully, he finally decided to make a move.
Attacking the Mana Magic Kingdom was actually a test for him, as well as a gamble.
He wanted to test the New Flyer's true attitude towards the Mana Magic Kingdom and he also wanted to gamble on what kind of reaction the New Flyer would have to the Kandla Empire's sudden attack.
Facts proved that his gamble had paid off.
Since the Kandla Empire had declared war on the Mana Magic Kingdom last year, it had been close to a year now.
But in this year, the New Flyer had only asked the large companies to help the citizens involved in the war, but they hadn't shown any attitude towards the war itself.
This reaction fell into the eyes of the Candra Emperor and many people in the empire, which without a doubt represented a very clear signal.
The New Flyer might not be able to control the situation in the Sines anymore.
Or taking it a step further, perhaps the New Flyer was also afraid?
In fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's strength was no longer enough to suppress all the countries on the continent, not even being able to suppress the two empires. That was why they weren't interfering in the war against the Kandla Empire like before?
If it really was like this, didn't that mean that the Kandla Empire had hope of becoming the strongest empire that ruled the Sines again?
However, the Candra Emperor couldn't be certain.
He still had to wait, wait for the New Flyer's true attitude.
Xu Yi wasn't here, so the New Flyer's actions couldn't represent the attitude of the New Flyer.
Now that Xu Yi was back, what kind of reaction would he have?
