"They're retreating like this?"
Seeing Count Wein leading his subordinates away in a panic, the New Flyer guards who were already prepared to fight were all stunned.
When they saw Count Wein leading ten thousand subordinates to attack, most of them were very nervous.
After all, compared to them, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's defenses were just too weak. Even if they had the Abundant River to help them defend, to use a thousand people to defend against ten thousand people, in the minds of most people, it was something that was impossible.
However, when the battle began, everyone found that the battle was far from what they expected. It was so easy that people didn't dare believe it.
From beginning to end, the New Flyer guards just stayed by the river, controlling the large Magic Trebuchets to throw large scale Flame Bombs at the other side while using the new Magic Repeating Crossbows to block the bridge. They didn't do anything else.
If it was said that the two hundred people in charge of blocking the bridge had contact with Count Wein's subordinates, the other New Flyer guards didn't even see what Count Wein's subordinates looked like.
From beginning to end, both sides didn't engage in close combat at all.
In the end, the whole battle ended in this situation. Count Wein fled with his subordinates in disgrace!
This kind of strange battle, it was rare to see this kind of battle in the history of the Sines.
Seeing the confused expressions of the company guards, Xu Yi laughed. He thought that even the Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards who had been in contact with the military magic machines the most hadn't broken away from the traditional thinking of the era of cold weapons.
As the New Flyer developed more and more military magic machines, there would inevitably be a revolutionary change in the war on the Sines. If there was anyone who didn't change, they could only be like Count Wein. They could only passively take a beating from beginning to end, even being slaughtered.
Actually, this kind of change had already been shown in the Lampari Kingdom's civil war.
The reason why Seveni could lead her less than five thousand guards to easily defeat the army sent by Duke Stagg was because Seveni's guards had stayed with her on Xu Yi's territory for four months. They had trained with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards on various military magic machines, so they had grasped this new method of battle.
In the actual battle, with the large amount of military magic machines provided by New Flyer, when Seveni's guards faced the army sent by Duke Stagg, it was the same as the battle just now. They completely crushed the enemy.
It could be said that in the Lampari Kingdom's civil war, every battle had the same result. This led to the internal battle of the Lampari Kingdom that everyone thought would last a long time to end in less than three months with Seveni's complete victory.
Xu Yi wasn't surprised by this result at all.
To him, soldiers equipped with large amounts of military magic machines, when faced with soldiers using normal swords, it was like an adult beating a baby.
The normal soldiers who were still in the era of cold weapons couldn't even approach the soldiers equipped with military magic machines before they fell countless times.
With this kind of strength comparison, what suspense was there in the battle?
The reason why Xu Yi rejected Count Wein's unreasonable request was because he had absolute confidence in the strength of the New Flyer guards.
Not to mention the ten thousand people Count Wein brought, even if he brought all the thirty thousand subordinates he had, Xu Yi was certain that he wouldn't be able to cross the Abundant River at all.
Not to mention that in the battle just now, the New Flyer didn't even send out a single magician.
The only troublesome thing for Xu Yi was what he had to face after this.
Although Count Wein had recognized the difference in strength between the two sides in this short battle and knew that he couldn't invade the New Flyer, he still had the advantage in numbers.
It wasn't a problem for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to defend their territory, but if they wanted to attack Count Wein's territory with just a thousand guards, they really couldn't make ends meet.
Xu Yi was certain that Count Wein would use his advantage in numbers to seal off the New Flyer.
If Count Wein sealed off all the paths to the New Flyer, it would cut off all the resources that the New Flyer could get, which would cause heavy damage to the New Flyer.
Although Xu Yi wasn't afraid of this situation because he had several other methods to solve this problem, Xu Yi definitely wouldn't allow this to happen.
This time he decided to fall out with Count Wein, Xu Yi wanted to show his fangs to everyone and give them a warning.
"Hart!"
Xu Yi turned to call out to Hart who was leading the five hundred guards, but didn't participate in the battle at all.
"Yes, sir!" Hart immediately became spirited and replied proudly.
"Set off."
"Yes!"
Hart waved his hand and the five hundred guards jumped onto the thirty Magic Armoured Vehicles behind them. They charged across the bridge and headed towards Count Wein's army that was still retreating on the other side of the river.

"Your highness, it's already done. Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"
A maid carefully smoothed out the hem of Seveni's dress and two other maids brought a large mirror in front of her, completely reflecting Seveni's figure.
Seveni in the mirror was dressed up, looking beautiful and dignified.
Seveni gave a slight nod, "It's done."
The maid took the mirror away and another group of maids came over. Each of them had various kinds of beautiful accessories in their hands, carefully putting them on Seveni.
Today was the day Her Highness officially ascended to the throne as Queen. All the steps and decorations had to be done perfectly, even down to the smallest detail. There was no room for sloppiness.
However, Seveni looked at the busy maids around her with nervous looks and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes. Her attention seemed to have flown to an unknown place.
Since the messenger brought back the news that Xu Yi wouldn't be attending the coronation ceremony, Seveni suddenly felt like she had lost interest in everything. Even the most important coronation ceremony couldn't make her feel excited at all.
She was like a wooden person during these days, just following the arrangements of the old nobles of the Royal Parliament and participating in all kinds of traditional ceremonies, preparing for the coronation.
During all the ceremonies, even if she looked perfect on the surface, she felt a bit tired in her heart and even felt that there was no meaning in what she was doing.
Seveni often asked herself what was wrong, but when she was chasing this answer, Xu Yi's gentle smile would appear from time to time.
"Could it be that because Xu Yi isn't coming, I feel that there's no meaning in doing this?"
When this thought appeared in her mind for the first time, Seveni was scared.
She never thought that Xu Yi coming to the ceremony would be this important to her.
Other than royal father, Seveni had never seen another person who had such an important position in her heart.
So she was stunned.
Just what was going on?
"Da, da, da … …"
There was a series of light footsteps and a small figure charged into Seveni's embrace under the surprised cries of the maids, waking Seveni from her thoughts.
Looking down, she found that the little fellow who had charged in was Prince William.
"Aunt, you really are beautiful today." Prince William hugged Seveni as he excitedly called out.
Seveni revealed a faint smile and patted William's head, as she couldn't help feeling emotional.
If one had to say who had an important position in her heart, this Prince William who wasn't even five years old could also be considered one.
Eric had made a big mistake and now he had to pay the price, but Prince William hadn't done anything wrong.
Moreover, Lampuri Thirteenth and Eric had died in the past two years, so Seveni didn't have many relatives left in the royal family.
Her other big brother, Prince Mifam, had stayed in his territory since Lampuri Thirteenth passed away, never being willing to show himself. Now that Seveni was about to ascend the throne, he also refused to attend the ceremony. So the only relative left by Seveni's side was Prince William.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's figure suddenly appeared in Seveni's mind.
She couldn't help being surprised.
Could it be that she had unknowingly treated Xu Yi as a relative?
When this thought flashed in her mind, Seveni found that it seemed to be true!
If she didn't treat Xu Yi as a relative, how could she have revealed the shocking secret of Eric poisoning her royal father to Xu Yi?
It had to be known, Seveni had only told this secret to Xu Yi, she hadn't even told his highness Mifam and her most trusted people.
Based on this, in Seveni's heart, Xu Yi's position was even higher than her relatives.
After all, for Seveni who was born in the royal family, her so-called relatives were even more terrifying than her enemies.
After understanding this, Seveni couldn't help having a bitter smile on her face.
No matter what she thought of Xu Yi, Xu Yi wasn't willing to come to the coronation ceremony that was very important to her.
Perhaps in Xu Yi's heart, she wasn't that important … …
