"What do you think ….. her highness will do when she goes back this time?"
Watching Seveni's guards leave Xu Yi's territory, quickly heading in the direction of the Lampari Kingdom, Stiel couldn't help asking Xu Yi beside her.
"How would I know?" Xu Yi shook his head with a bitter smile.
"But if nothing unexpected happens, the Lampari Kingdom will fall into the chaos that Seveni is most worried about.
Moreover, this time ….. she can't escape even if she wants to. "
A week ago, the news of King Eric's sudden death shocked everyone.
King Eric was only thirty three this year, he was in his prime, how could he suddenly die?
Moreover, according to the news released by the Lampari Kingdom, his death was because he was working too hard and he died from exhaustion.
This cause of death was just too unbelievable.
Although King Eric had gradually taken control of the country and worked hard every day, his body had always been good. If he died from exhaustion because of this, that would be too unbelievable.
The day after receiving this news, Seveni headed back to the Lampari Kingdom.
Even if Eric had killed Lampuri Thirteenth and Seveni didn't have any affection for him, he was still Seveni's big brother in the end and he was the Lampari Kingdom's king. Now that he had suddenly died, Seveni naturally had to go back to attend his funeral.
The more important thing was that Seveni was very doubtful about Eric's death.
Lampuri Thirteenth had already died an abnormal death, so it wasn't surprising that Eric had died an abnormal death.
This could be seen from the five thousand sets of military magic machines that Seveni had ordered from Xu Yi for her guards before she left.
It was clear that Seveni was prepared for the worst this time.
It was different from when she faced Eric. She had to consider the stability of the Lampari Kingdom before, so she could only choose to escape.
But now that Eric had suddenly died, she had no reason to escape and could only face it head on.
Thinking of the serious and determined look on Seveni's face before she left, Xu Yi gave a sigh in his heart.
The Lampari Kingdom really was filled with disasters.
When Lampuri Thirteenth was on the throne, he greatly supported the New Flyer. The entire Lampari Kingdom was filled with prosperity and quickly developed.
But Lampuri Thirteenth had died and the New Flyer had been forced out of the Lampari Kingdom, causing the situation of the kingdom to suddenly change.
Eric who had taken the throne had finally put down the prejudice in his heart and began to open his arms to New Flyer. Xu Yi saw the dawn of New Flyer entering the mature market of the Lampari Kingdom, but he never thought that Eric would suddenly die's death's death.
The day after the news of Eric's death came, there was the news of Eric's eldest son, Prince William, inheriting the throne. At the same time, there was the news of Duke Stagg becoming the regent.
Prince William was only five years old this year, so of course he couldn't handle the country's matters. So it was clear that the power of the Lampari Kingdom fell into Duke Stagg's hands.
Seveni didn't have any objections to Prince William inheriting the throne, but she couldn't accept the Lampari Kingdom falling into Duke Stagg's hands.
Lampuri Thirteenth had died. Although Eric was the mastermind, according to the information she had, Duke Stagg was the biggest accomplice and he had personally carried out the plan.
Seveni could tolerate Eric for the benefit of the Lampari Kingdom, but she definitely couldn't tolerate Duke Stagg who had killed her father controlling the Lampari Kingdom.
Before Seveni left, she must have made her decision.
Xu Yi could predict that when Seveni returned to the Lampari Kingdom this time, there would be a giant storm in the Lampari Kingdom.
If nothing unexpected happened, the entire Lampari Kingdom would fall into great turmoil and might even fall into civil strife.
Xu Yi didn't care about what the Lampari Kingdom would become, but he cared about Seveni very much.
Seveni clearly had enough awareness in her heart and had already made her decision.
But the situation she was about to face was very dangerous.
Because she gave up on fighting for the throne with Eric and added in the fact that she didn't want to affect Eric's rule, Seveni's foundation in the Lampari Kingdom wasn't as stable as before.
On the contrary, the Stagg Family was the most powerful family in the Lampari Kingdom other than the royal family. Adding in the fact that Duke Stagg had taken control of the Lampari Kingdom in the past year, the Stagg Family's strength had naturally increased.
When Seveni returned to the Lampari Kingdom this time, if nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely clash with the Stagg Family and the conservative nobles that the Stagg Family represented.
Those conservative nobles already had vested interests in the Lampari Kingdom, so they wouldn't give up on the benefits in their hands.
If Seveni wanted to take back control of the Lampari Kingdom from them, it could be imagined how hard it would be.
With the New Flyer's current strength, it was impossible for them to directly participate in the internal struggles of the Lampari Kingdom, but Xu Yi still did his best to help Seveni.
For the five thousand private guards that Seveni brought, Xu Yi gave them a set of military magic machines. At the same time, he gave them a hundred Magic Bazookas, ten medium sized Magic Trebuchets, twenty Magic Armoured Vehicles, and even a hundred Magic Communicators that were still in the experimental stage.
This kind of equipment was enough to greatly increase the battle strength of Seveni's private guards.
Moreover, Seveni's private guards hadn't been idle in the past few months. During these months, they often practiced with the New Flyer's guards, so they already had enough experience on how to use these military magic machines.
This was enough to ensure that they could display the might of these military magic machines in battle, so naturally their battle strength wasn't normal.
But Xu Yi could only help Seveni this much, he couldn't help her anymore.
This was because ….. the situation in the Principality of Constantine wasn't calm.
After defeating Fran Count and taking over Fran Count's territory, Lord Wein's strength had greatly increased. The number of soldiers under him had increased from less than ten thousand to over twenty thousand.
After defeating Fran Count, Lord Wein ceded some territory to Xu Yi as compensation. He ordered large amounts of military magic machines from New Flyer and continued attacking the lords on the border with him.
Now that Lord Wein had a large army and large amounts of military magic machines, as well as the large amount of battle experience he had from fighting Count Fran, his army's battle strength far surpassed the other lords of the Principality of Constantine. Once a battle began, they were invincible.
Faced with Lord Wein's strength, the other lords of the Principality of Constantine were naturally terrified.
Everyone was clear that the main reason why Lord Wein could be this strong was because he had purchased enough military magic machines from New Flyer.
So during this time, almost every lord of the Principality of Constantine had ordered military magic machines from New Flyer.
These lords were the same as Lord Wein, they couldn't take out enough gold coins to pay for it.
These lords wanted to learn from Lord Wein and use their territory as compensation, but they were all rejected by Xu Yi.
These lords' territories didn't have borders with Xu Yi's territory, so even if he obtained a part of their territory, Xu Yi didn't have the ability to send people to manage it.
Instead of taking this unreliable territory from them, it was better to obtain some more practical benefits.
Xu Yi's goal was to obtain more practical resources.
Although the lords of the Principality of Constantine were very poor, with some not even being able to take out ten thousand gold coins, the Principality of Constantine under their feet was rich in resources. Even if it was a small lord, they would have one or two mines and various other resources under their name.
According to the contracts they signed with New Flyer, during these months, large amounts of resources had been transported from the Principality of Constantine to Xu Yi's territory, entering the various factories of New Flyer.
A part of these resources were turned into military magic machines, which were sold to the lords. The other part was turned into civilian magic machines produced by New Flyer. Other than the part that was sold in the Lampari Kingdom, the rest was sent to the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Mirando Duchy.
During this time, New Flyer could be considered to have earned quite a bit.
Because these lords were in urgent need of New Flyer's military magic machines, although New Flyer didn't raise the price of the military magic machines, the prices of the resources they sent were kept very low by New Flyer.
In the end, New Flyer could earn large amounts of profit just by selling military magic machines to the lords.
Not to mention the fact that they could use these resources to make other magic machines and sell them.
These civilian magic machines didn't have any material costs and New Flyer only needed to pay labour costs, so the profits could be imagined.
According to last month's financial report, New Flyer had earned a net profit of three million gold coins in just a month!
Before this, New Flyer had been forced out of the Lampari Kingdom market, so their monthly net profit of close to a million gold coins had dropped to a mere three to four hundred thousand gold coins.
This sudden increase of ten times, it was no wonder Xu Yi was filled with emotions.
Making money from war really was the fastest way to accumulate capital.
