He stayed in the New Flight Commerce Main Base to discuss some ideas on promoting the space program with Freya and met up with some old friends before Xu Yi left Sines again.
Counting it, from the time he came back to Sines, seeing the dying Heinz, and leaving, it had only been half a month. It could be said that he had come and gone in a rush.
After receiving the news that Xu Yi had boarded the Magic Airship and left Sines, countless people in Sines let out a sigh of relief.
People thought that Xu Yi's return would bring a large change to Sines, but they never thought that Xu Yi would just secretly promote the space program to some countries and not do anything else.
Many people discussed this in private and they couldn't help guessing.
Could it be that what Xu Yi said before was true?
He had really given the New Flyer to Freya and didn't care about anything in Sines?
No one could read Xu Yi's mind, so no one could be certain of Xu Yi's true thoughts.
But no matter what, Xu Yi had left Sines again.
Last time he left, he came back after six years and he had only been back for half a month.
Then this time, would he be gone for a longer period of time?
Not everyone was this optimistic.
There were several newspapers that analyzed the meaning of Xu Yi's rush this time and they directly pointed out that with the large improvement in transportation, even if Sines was over ten thousand kilometers away from the Demon Cloud Continent, it was no longer like two different worlds that couldn't be connected.
As long as Xu Yi was willing, he could even come back in a day or two.
There were large amounts of fleets that didn't belong to the New Flyer between the Demon Cloud Continent and Sines, closely connecting the two continents.
In conclusion, the world that people explored now was countless times larger than before, but in terms of the senses, the world had actually become much smaller.
Look, people didn't even need to go out and they could know what was happening thousands of kilometers away. They could see the images with their own eyes, while also being able to communicate with people thousands of kilometers away.
If they couldn't, they could take the most advanced Magic Airship and arrive at the scene of the incident in a short period of time.
Like this, what was the difference between being right in front of you and being thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers away?
So although Xu Yi had left Sines, as long as he was willing, he would still have a large influence on Sines.
In the end, the New Flyer was still the strongest magic machine company in Sines and had a large role in all the countries on the continent, so who would dare ignore it?
It had to be said, the analysis of these newspapers was very reasonable. But for those people who let out a sigh of relief after knowing that Xu Yi had left, Xu Yi staying in Sines was more of a psychological pressure on them.
Now that he had left, it was to show everyone his attitude, so naturally these people felt much more relaxed.
So with Xu Yi's departure, the hearts of the people in Sines began to waver again.
August 1824, three months after Xu Yi left Sines again, the Malor Empire suddenly sent troops to attack the Nomi Duchy to the southeast.
In just a week, the small Nomi Duchy was completely invaded by the Malor Empire's army and was declared extinct.
Duke Nomi received this news ahead of time and chose to escape.
Due to his slight bloodline relationship with the Kandla Empire's royal family, Duke Nomi Duchy fled to Wimbledon City and sought the protection of the Kandla Empire.
The Kandla Empire immediately issued a serious warning to the Malor Empire, warning the Malor Empire to immediately withdraw their troops and return the Nomi Duchy to Duke Nomi Duchy. However, the Malor Empire sternly refused.
At the end of August, the Kandla Empire chose to send troops, but they did not directly attack the Malor Empire. Instead, they attacked a small duchy sandwiched between the two empires. Before the Malor Empire could react, they took over this small duchy in just five days.
This small duchy called Logdunstein was inextricably linked to the Malor Empire. Because it was sandwiched between the two empires, it was in a very sensitive geographical position and had always been protected by the Malor Empire.
Now that the Kandla Empire suddenly sent troops to attack Logdunstein, it was undoubtedly revenge for the Malor Empire's occupation of the Nomi Duchy.
Just as the two empires were still denouncing each other through official and unofficial channels, the southeast of the continent was also in turmoil.
The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom's first and second fleets moved out at the same time and consecutively contributed more than ten islands to the east of Sines. Then, they quickly built fortifications on these islands and completely sealed off the coastline of the southeast corner of the continent, controlling it in their own hands.
The coastal countries of the southeast corner of the continent naturally protested against this, but the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom didn't care about this at all. Later on, in the middle of September, they officially declared war on the Chino Kingdom to the north.
The Chino Kingdom could be considered one of the countries that developed the magic machine industry earlier in the southeast corner of the continent, but because they didn't invest enough in military magic machines and didn't cooperate with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce like the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, their military power was far weaker.
When the two countries fought, the Chino Kingdom kept retreating and the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom easily took over a small part of the Chino Kingdom's southern territory.
The turmoil in the southeast corner of the continent seemed to affect the situation in the other parts of Sines.
At the end of September, the Lampari Kingdom's northern army used the excuse of a missing soldier to send troops into the Antila Kingdom to the north of the Sack Kingdom, engaging in a fierce exchange of fire with the Antila Kingdom's army.
The Antila Kingdom's army was defeated and the Lampari Kingdom's northern army took this chance to invade the Antila Kingdom.
At the same time, the Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire that had already gathered their armies on the border finally ended their month of verbal abuse.
On the morning of the 29th of September, the Kandla Empire sent out a large group of scouts that were ambushed by the Malor Empire and were completely wiped out.
The Kandla Empire immediately expressed their indignation and officially declared war on the Malor Empire.
On the 2nd of October, the armies of the two sides began fighting on the border of the two countries.
With the first explosion of the Magic Cannons in this battle, it meant that the Sines that had been peaceful for over twenty years was once again in turmoil.
###
It was different from the Sines Continent that was filled with war and unrest, the Demon Cloud Continent was very calm right now.
After the Royal City of the Goblins was captured, the Goblin King fell into the control of New Flyer.
With the cooperation of the Goblin King, New Flyer worked with the other races to control all the goblins on the Demon Cloud Continent without much effort.
Although they killed countless goblins in the battle, there were just too many goblins. In the end, there were still a shocking number of captives, with a rough count being over three million.
According to the plan that Xu Yi and the other races had already made, these goblins were scattered and then divided between New Flyer and the other races, taking them all back to be labourers.
New Flyer had received close to one and a half million from this.
This terrifying number, with the manpower that New Flyer had, many people were worried that they wouldn't be able to control it.
But because the Gnome King controlled them and adding in the fact that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had captured the gnomes and given them enough food, guaranteeing their basic necessities, these gnomes were very willing to accept the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's orders.
After all, before this, the goblins' productivity was very low, so there were very few goblins that could eat their fill. They faced threats from other races every day, even threats from their own race.
Now that they were under New Flyer, being able to keep their lives and fill their stomachs was a great gift to these goblins.
As for resisting?
What a joke!
New Flyer had all those terrifying things, how could they resist?
So after the initial chaos, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce easily took in the one and a half million gnomes.
Actually, adding in the people that came to the Demon Cloud Continent with Xu Yi, the New Flyer guards that New Flyer sent to the Demon Cloud Continent only added up to around fourteen thousand.
If so many goblins resisted together, even if they weren't afraid, it would be quite troublesome.
But these goblins were very obedient. Often, only a small team of ten guards was needed to keep an eye on tens of thousands of goblins so that they didn't dare to make any movements.
Moreover, Xu Yi also implemented a subcontracting system among the goblins. He picked out the smarter goblins and gave them a slightly higher status and treatment. He put them in charge of managing a portion of the goblins and directly reported to New Flyer.
If there was a problem with the goblins under his management, he would directly look for them to take responsibility.
Moreover, these goblins as managers could also supervise each other. If they reported abnormalities in the goblins of another team, and it was verified, they could even give extra rewards.
Under this method, the simple-minded goblins couldn't play any tricks even if they wanted to.
So New Flyer suddenly obtained a huge manpower of one and a half million. Although not all of these people were useful, and their individual abilities were far inferior to humans and other races, they were still capable of completing simple tasks.
After they were arranged by New Flyer to be put into various basic tasks, New Flyer's progress in all aspects was rapidly improved.
If someone came to visit the Demon Cloud Continent now, they would find that the area under the control of New Flyer was changing day by day.
In just half a year, there were various production bases that were similar to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's main base that kept appearing. Every place was bustling with activity, forming a sharp contrast with the Sines Continent that was at war.
