Duke Masalan was very tough in front of Faye and could even be considered arrogant, but he was only a front line commander in the end, so he couldn't completely represent the Malor Empire.
Compared to Duke Masalan, the Malor Empire's official attitude was much more tactful.
But no matter how tactful it was, the Malor Empire's attitude was very clear. They definitely wouldn't agree to the ceasefire agreement proposed by the New Flyer.
Or to be more specific, they definitely wouldn't accept the terms of the ceasefire agreement proposed by the New Flyer.
To the Malor Empire, they clearly had the absolute advantage and as long as they kept this up, they would be able to defeat the Lampari Kingdom sooner or later. They would be able to destroy the Lampari Kingdom and become the only powerful empire in the Sines, ruling over all the Sines.
In this situation, it was no different from a joke to have them choose to stop the war this easily.
The situation was indeed going in the direction that the Malor Empire wanted to see.
While they were negotiating with the New Flyer, the Malor Empire didn't stop their actions at all and continued to strengthen their attacks on the Lampari Kingdom.
And there was a very serious turmoil in the Lampari Kingdom at this time.
In the territory of the Antila Kingdom, there was an army called the Antila Restoration Army that suddenly appeared, attacking the Lampari Kingdom's army stationed in the Antila Kingdom.
This was sudden and adding in the fact that the Lampari Kingdom didn't have that many soldiers stationed in the Antila Kingdom, they were almost completely wiped out by the Antila Restoration Army.
At the same time, in the territory of the Sack Kingdom, there was an army that was led by the Sack Kingdom's king, attacking all over the territory of the Sack Kingdom.
Adding in the fact that there was a guerilla army that had been secretly receiving help from the Malor Empire that suddenly increased their attacks, the Lampari Kingdom instantly fell into chaos.
In this situation, the Lampari Kingdom's frontline army was greatly affected, so they kept losing to the Malor Empire's army. They kept retreating and actually sent back all the territory that belonged to the Kandla Empire that they had conquered with great difficulty.
Seeing that the Malor Empire was about to take another step and invade the Lampari Kingdom, the people of the Sines were filled with doubt.
What was the New Flyer doing?
It had been half a year since the first peace talks between the Lampari Kingdom and the Malor Empire that New Flyer had failed.
In this long time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had only verbally called for both sides to stop fighting, but they never made any substantial moves.
This made many people doubtful.
Could it be ….. that the news from before was true?
The New Flyer really wasn't strong enough and didn't have the courage to fight, not to mention declaring war on the Malor Empire?
Almost no one was willing to believe that this was the truth.
The New Flyer had been established for over fifty years and other than the weak years in the beginning, in the remaining forty years, the New Flyer had always been very strong, while also representing its incomparably strong strength.
It had to be known that twenty years ago, even the two empires working together couldn't defeat the New Flyer.
But now, the New Flyer actually didn't dare interfere in the war between the Malor Empire and the Lampari Kingdom?
If the Malor Empire really invaded the Lampari Kingdom and even destroyed the Lampari Kingdom, then the almost invincible image that the New Flyer had created in the Sines over the past few decades would collapse in an instant.
And the invincible image of the New Flyer would be broken. It would completely lose its previous transcendent status in the Sines and would be reduced to an ordinary chamber of commerce.
And if the Malor Empire destroyed the Lampari Kingdom and unified the Sines, it would certainly not give the New Flyer any room to survive.
Even if the New Flyer had already laid a solid foundation in the Demon Cloud Continent, if it lost the Sines, how could the New Flyer be as strong as before?
Perhaps the Malor Empire would accumulate strength and directly invade the Demon Cloud Continent.
After such an analysis, people were shocked to find that not only the Lampari Kingdom, but even the New Flyer had reached a moment of life and death.
If the New Flyer just sat back and watched the situation in the Lampari Kingdom deteriorate, then the outcome could be imagined.
And if they wanted to make a move, was the New Flyer's current strength enough?
Under the doubts of countless people, the New Flyer finally made a move.
They didn't make a move, but once they made a move, it was like a thunderbolt.
April, 3834 of the Continental Calendar, the New Flyer publicly announced that since the Malor Empire resolutely refused to agree to a truce, the New Flyer, in order to maintain the peace of the Sines and prevent more civilians from being harmed, decided to take more drastic actions to urge the Malor Empire to choose a truce.
As for these drastic actions … …
In April, 3834 of the Continental Calendar, two fleets of the New Flyer invaded the northern ports of the Malor Empire from the northern seas. In half a month, they took control of three northern port cities of the Malor Empire and worked with the other two fleets of the New Flyer, completely sealing off the northern ports of the Malor Empire.
The northern Malor Empire fleet fought with the New Flyer fleet and was completely wiped out, with not a single ship surviving.
At the same time, the New Flyer's guards had a total of three thousand Magic Tanks and five hundred Magic Airships, with a total of twenty thousand soldiers. They headed north from the Black Rice Wasteland and in just a week, they had completely quelled the chaos in the Sack Kingdom and the Antila Kingdom. Then they turned northeast and entered the Malor Empire from the small northeastern Antila Kingdom, the Rodan Duchy.
In May, 3834 of the Continental Calendar, the New Flyer's guards had a fierce battle with the Malor Empire's western garrison.
In just a single day, the New Flyer's guards had broken through the Malor Empire's defenses and entered the heart of the Malor Empire.
At the end of June, 3834 of the Continental Calendar.
The New Flyer's guards had fought twenty seven large and small battles with the Malor Empire's army, but they hadn't lost a single one. They had defeated seventeen Malor Empire's garrison and three royal guards, while suffering less than a tenth of their casualties. They had successfully entered Duke Southgate's territory.
Duke Southgate announced that he would leave the Malor Empire and give himself the title of Duke Southgate, establishing the Southgate Duchy.
At the same time, in the Malor Empire's territory that had been conquered by the New Flyer, there were nobles who rebelled. For a while, there were several large and small duchies that were established.
On the other side, the Lampari Kingdom's army worked with the thirty thousand New Flyer's guards to defeat the Malor Empire's army on the battlefield. They drove the Malor Empire's army back from the Kandla Empire's territory.
This time, the Lampari Kingdom and the New Flyer's army didn't just stop at the Malor Empire's border, they directly invaded the Malor Empire's territory.
At the same time, in the far east of the continent, on another battlefield, the ten thousand New Flyer's guards and the fifty thousand soldiers sent by the Levin Continent landed on the east coast of Sines, working with the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom to easily defeat the eastern countries' army.
In just a month, the eastern countries' army was defeated and the alliance was disbanded.
The eastern countries all chose to sign the « Armistice and Cooperation Agreement » with the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, ending the war that had lasted several years in the east of Sines.
Continent Calendar Year 3835 February, the Lampari Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Drake Duchy, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, the Candra Federation, and the New Flyer's guards formed an alliance and attacked the Malor Empire again.
Under the strong pressure of the alliance, the Malor Empire's emperor made a speech to the outside world. He said that even if they had to die together, they wouldn't allow their country to fall into the hands of the enemy, intending to use the power of the entire country to resist the alliance.
Continent Calendar Year 3835 April, the alliance and the Malor Empire began a large battle. In the end, the Malor Empire's side lost one hundred and thirty thousand soldiers.
At the end of Continent Calendar Year 3835 April, the New Flyer's super long range Magic Missiles with two powerful Magic Nuclear Warheads accurately hit the two military bases of the Malor Empire in the north, destroying the Malor Empire's final hope of resistance.
Continent Calendar Year 3835 June.
After discussing it, the alliance officially accepted the Malor Empire's unconditional surrender.
Continent Calendar Year 3836 March, the Malor Empire's emperor announced his abdication and the Malor Empire was reformed. The various provinces of the empire formed the new Marlow Federal Republic, eliminating the imperial system.
The first chairman of the Marlow Federal Republic was Duke Southgate.
Like this, the war that had plagued the Sines for over twenty years had finally come to an end.
###
In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.
The Sines had enjoyed another twenty years of peace and the entire Sines Planet had developed in peace for another twenty years.
In these twenty years, the magic technology of this world had leaped forward again.
In the civilian sector, various kinds of magic machines had been popularized and people's lives were much more convenient and comfortable compared to twenty years ago.
Among them, the most obvious and far-reaching change was the popularization of the magic communication network.
The current magic communication network wasn't like twenty years ago where it only transmitted sound and images, rather any kind of information could be transmitted through the magic communication network.
People could even enter the magic communication network at any time and interact with other people on the same network.
With the appearance of this network, everyone on the Sines Planet had become one, almost becoming one.
Another large change was the change in transportation methods.
The Magic Airship had already been popularized and there were even many rich families who could afford small Magic Airships for their personal use.
In terms of public transportation, although faster cars, Magic Airships, and boats kept coming out, they were no longer the main form of transportation.
The Transport Array that the Xinfei Guild had popularized twenty years ago had already replaced all forms of transportation.
Using the Transport Array, people could even instantly go from Sines to the Demon Cloud Continent, crossing over ten thousand kilometers.
Because of the appearance of this method of transportation, people didn't even have the concept of distance anymore.
No matter where you lived, as long as you wanted to see another person, you could contact them through the magic communication network and use the Transport Array. At most you would only need to take a short Magic Bus and walk two steps to reach your destination.
If it wasn't for the New Flyer strictly controlling the private Transport Arrays, perhaps those rich and powerful people would have set up a Transport Array in their homes, connecting to the transport network to make it easier to travel.
But even so, large families were qualified to buy small Magic Airships for their personal use, which was much more convenient than normal people.
This kind of convenient transportation method made people feel like the planet under their feet had become smaller, so they all turned to look at the endless starry sky.
Under the lead of the New Flyer, even if the Transport Array allowed people to directly go from Sines to Alice and Tedas, or even to planets further away, or even to star systems further away, all the countries were still focused on developing the space industry.
Because it was like Xu Yi had said before, although the Transport Array could instantly send you from Sines to the Demon Cloud Continent, if you wanted to reach your destination, you had to walk a certain distance yourself.
It was the same for travelling through space.
Even if the Transport Array could send you to another planet that had already been explored, if you needed to do something in space, the Transport Array couldn't do anything and you had to fly there yourself.
With the lead of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, outside the Sines Planet, there were countless satellites and space bases.
The newly developed spaceship could even achieve hyperspace travel in the true sense because of the new research breakthrough in teleportation magic.
The last successful experiment was the New Flyer's Explorer Spaceship. Through hyperspace, it actually flew out of the star system the Sines Planet was in.
Regarding the success of this experiment, the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce's chief Evita said that as long as the New Flyer solved the problem of the star system's coordinates, they would be able to truly travel through space.
No one doubted the New Flyer, everyone was looking forward to what Xu Yi had said before, the true era of space travel.
###
Xu Yi stood in the Starry Sky Transfer Array above Alice and he was actually a bit nervous.
Speaking of this, it was a bit funny. Even if he was the previous chairman of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the person with the most prestige in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, this was his first time experiencing the interstellar travel that countless researchers and normal people had experienced.
Even this time, Stiel and the others strongly opposed it, saying that they didn't want him to take this risk.
If it wasn't for him losing his temper, they wouldn't have been able to go through this trip.
"Sir chairman, are you prepared to return it?" A New Flyer employee nervously asked Xu Yi.
"Alright, let's begin."
The employee nodded, but his head was covered in sweat. He forcefully wiped it before pressing the button to activate the Transport Array.
Xu Yi's eyes went dark and bright, but he found that the scene in front of him didn't change that much.
However, a voice beside him reminded him that he was no longer on Alice.
"Sir chairman, how does it feel to leave Alice for the first time?" Lucian asked with a smile.
Xu Yi turned to look at him and said with a cold snort, "Kid, you came here twenty years earlier than me."
Lucian burst into laughter.
As the first person who had the courage to go through the Transport Array and come to this unknown planet, he had the right to be proud.
"Sir chairman, I'll go with you." Lucian said this while leading Xu Yi to another Transport Array.
"What's the latest feedback from the frontline?" Xu Yi asked.
The expression on Lucian's face immediately became solemn.
"The latest report received yesterday showed that signs of life were indeed found on Planet B339, and the exploration team also saw the existence of large creatures with their own eyes."
The reason why Xu Yi insisted on going through the Transport Array to go to Planet B339, which New Flyer discovered at the beginning of this year, despite the opposition of a large group of people, was because the frontline exploration team found traces of life on this planet.
Now that he heard Lucian say that they had found the existence of large creatures, Xu Yi immediately became excited.
The Transport Arrays in New Flyer's possession that could travel through space were actually left behind by the Abyssal Demons from ten thousand years ago.
The so-called exploration was just tracking through the Transport Arrays one by one.
Since it was like this, being able to find the existence of life on Planet B339 meant that the Abyssal Demons were most likely on this planet. This also meant that they had finally found the Abyssal Demons.
But New Flyer had already discovered Planet B339 for four months, but there were still no movements from the Abyssal Demons. This made Xu Yi feel a bit strange.
Properly speaking, these Transport Arrays were left behind by the Abyssal Demons, so they should have noticed something strange.
"Large creature?
What kind of large creature is it? "
"There's a blurry effect in front, look." Lucian took out a picture for Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn't help being stunned when he saw it.
The creature on the picture had no reference, so he couldn't see its body, but it had a long head and a long tail, as well as two fins on both sides. It looked ….. like a shark.
There were no sharks on the Sines Planet, so this was definitely a strange creature.
But seeing this strangely familiar shape, Xu Yi's expression couldn't help becoming a bit strange.
"What is it?" Lucian saw the strange expression on Xu Yi's face and couldn't help asking this.
"Nothing." Xu Yi shook his head and stood in the Transport Array to the next planet with Lucian.
After repeating the same process twenty times, Xu Yi and Lucian appeared in another Transport Array, but the surrounding space suddenly became oppressive.
Xu Yi looked up and found that under the light of the Transport Array base, there were waves of water around them.
It seemed like they were currently in the deep sea.
"Chairman Xu, you're here." The first one to greet him was elder Lisanya.
When she found out that there were signs of life on Planet B339, she rushed over as soon as possible. She had been here for more than two months.
With the help of the life magic behind her, the New Flyer researchers gained a bit more understanding of the local creatures.
Xu Yi looked up and asked, "Based on this, we should be at the bottom of the sea right now?"
Elder Lisanya shook her head, "We can't be a hundred percent sure yet.
Although according to the analysis, the structure of the water above us is the same as the water of the endless sea, this is an unknown planet, so we can't be sure. "
Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
When exploring the stars, one couldn't be too careful.
"Chairman Xu, you came right on time. I just translated these words, you can take a look." Elder Lisanya said.
"Words?" Xu Yi was stunned as he took the piece of paper from elder Lisanya.
"It's the words we found on a stone slab after we came here.
Elder Lisanya said that these words were very similar to the words used by the demons of the abyss ten thousand years ago, so we tried to translate it. "The New Flyer staff member on the side explained.
"The words of the demons of the abyss?" Xu Yi was shocked and quickly read it seriously.
However, after reading for a while, Xu Yi's expression became very strange.
The first half of the words was nothing special, but the demons of the abyss described how they had spent decades of adventure and exploration before finally finding a planet with an environment similar to their hometown that was suitable for living. They had experienced all kinds of hardships and dangers in the process, and now that they had finally arrived here, they felt very happy.
These things were naturally normal, but when Xu Yi read the last paragraph, he felt that it was very abnormal.
"We don't know if we can return to our hometown, but for people like us who are equivalent to self-exiles, since we are here, we should let go of everything and start a new life. Therefore, we also need a new name.
After a few elders discussed it, in order to commemorate our hometown, we called our race Atlantis. "
The words left by the demons of the abyss were obviously not these, and the words translated by Elder Lisanya were also not like this, but the last few words were the standard "Atlantis".
"Chairman Xu, what's wrong with you?" Elder Lisanya asked curiously when she saw Xu Yi's strange expression.
"Could it be that you see something from this?"
Xu Yi turned to look at Elder Lisanya. "You haven't gone up to take a look after coming here?"
"Go up?
Go up where? "Elder Lisanya asked curiously.
"It's up here."
Xu Yi raised his head and pointed up, glancing at the various familiar creatures swimming in the water from time to time. He took a deep breath and suddenly cast a Magic Shield on himself. The next moment, he disappeared from the teleportation array.
About two minutes later, Xu Yi rushed out of the water with a splash, and then quickly rose into the air with the help of the teleportation array. Soon, he had penetrated the atmosphere above his head and arrived in space again.
When he came to a suitable location, he stopped and turned around to look. A huge blue planet came into view.
Looking at the extremely familiar planet in front of him, which he had dreamed of many times decades ago, Xu Yi smiled bitterly.
"Are you playing with me?"
The next moment, his body suddenly fell and landed on a piece of land on the planet below.
This piece of land was coastal to the east, and there were two islands at the bottom right corner and below, as if some creature had grown two feet.
Xu Yi landed on the rounder foot at the bottom.
A moment later, he appeared on a beach out of thin air.
There were many people sunbathing on the beach, and it was extremely lively with the sea breeze blowing.
Xu Yi landed behind a tree and didn't attract anyone's attention.
He looked left and right, then rushed out from behind the tree. He grabbed a passerby and asked, "Tell me, what year is it now?"
It was Mandarin that Xu Yi had not spoken for decades, and he was not very proficient in it.
The man stared at Xu Yi inexplicably and reprimanded him in Mandarin with a slight accent.
"You're crazy!"
Then, he turned around and left.
Xu Yi was in a daze for a while and walked blankly to a small shop on the beach.
It just so happened that a small TV in the shop was broadcasting the news.
Xu Yi glanced at the familiar characters on the TV and then at the clear "2016" on the calendar next to the TV. He suddenly laughed.
"Well … It turns out that not only did I travel through space, but I also traveled through time.
Then now … I've finally returned to my hometown that I've been away from for more than seventy years. What should I do? "
