An hour later, on the sea fifty kilometers to the northwest of the Black Rice Harbour, there were large pieces of wooden planks floating around.
There were several large ships that hadn't sunk yet, creating several giant whirlpools. The surrounding wooden planks and the soldiers of the Sack Kingdom's first fleet who hadn't died yet were all sucked into the bottomless sea.
The originally blue sea water was dyed a miserable blood red mixed with burnt black. This meant that the most elite fleet of the Kingdom of Sark's first fleet that had been majestically passing through this area had become a trace of history, disappearing without a trace.
There were several High Grade Magicians of the Sack Kingdom's army headquarters who had followed the first fleet in the sky. They all looked at the sea below them with looks of disbelief, looking at the Unfolding Wings Ship that was as large as a mountain that was floating on the sea, their faces filled with shock.
When the Unfolding Wings first appeared in front of everyone, they were only surprised by the size of the ship and were shocked by the fact that the entire body of the ship was made of metal.
When they recognized that this ship was the New Flyer's giant Magic Ship that was mentioned in the report, they immediately prepared to attack.
However, they never would have thought that when the Unfolding Wings was still two to three kilometers away from the ship at the front, a large ball of fire suddenly appeared from the Unfolding Wings. Following that, they saw an overwhelming number of magic rockets flying from the Unfolding Wings, trailing behind them a powerful magical radiance.
Under the attack of such a dense amount of Magic Rockets, there wasn't a single ship that could escape.
The ships of the Sack Kingdom's first fleet were all made of wood. Although they had been strengthened in terms of fire and impact resistance compared to the boats used by fishermen, after being hit by these Magic Rockets, they were seriously damaged.
In just the first round of attacks, the ships of the Sack Kingdom's first fleet that they were so proud of had lost all their battle strength.
When the second round of Magic Rockets came, there was nowhere to hide and they didn't have the ability to dodge, so they were all sunk after a short while.
This was the most elite fleet of the first fleet, a fleet that could be considered invincible in the surrounding seas, but under the attack of a single Unfolding Wings Ship, they couldn't even last five minutes before being completely annihilated!
Throughout the entire process, they didn't even make a single counterattack!
The remaining sorcerers were stunned for a long time. They wanted to turn around and run away, but when they thought of the strict military law and the description in the report, they looked at each other and decided to attack.
With so many magicians working together, they might be able to capture the Unfolding Wings.
As long as he could obtain this Unfolding Wings, then the loss of these ships would be nothing.
However, just as these mages were about to release their magic, the space in front of them suddenly seemed to collapse, and the entire space turned into a bottomless pitch-black.
The Sack Kingdom's magicians all took a cold breath at the same time.
"It's actually spatial magic!
They actually have a Great Magician! "
These magicians looked at each other and without any hesitation, they turned to head north in the direction of the Sack Kingdom.
Xu Yi withdrew his hand and stopped the mana fluctuations.
Turning to look at the stunned chairman Cruz, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Now do you still doubt the strength of me and my company?"
Chairman Cruz gave a long sigh and said in an emotional voice, "Xu Yi, you are simply a monster.
The New Flyer that you created is also a monster. "
Xu Yi laughed before giving the order to Narvil, "Return."
The Unfolding Wings Ship made a beautiful arc on the sea and turned to head back to the waters of the Principality of Constantine.
###
Two days later, the Unfolding Wings Ship that had been prepared was in a fierce battle with the Sack Kingdom's first fleet led by general Keller in the waters to the northwest of the Principality of Constantine.
The Unfolding Wings Ship wasn't damaged at all and only three ships of the Sack Kingdom's first fleet escaped, the rest had all sunk.
The coast of the New Flight Commerce Main Base that had been blocked was unblocked.
Five days later, the New Flyer guards with the five thousand guards hired from the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, the Armani Chamber of Commerce, the Rimet Chamber of Commerce, and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce suddenly launched a counterattack from the New Flight Commerce Main Base.
Under this incomparably fierce attack, Duke Wein's subordinates couldn't resist at all and their defenses were instantly broken.
Duke Wein's blockade of the New Flyer was over.
A week later, the New Flyer continued their attack, breaking four defenses of Duke Wein's subordinates and attacking Duke Wein's private manor.
Duke Wein saw that this was bad and escaped ahead of time, disappearing without a trace.
Without Duke Wein's command and without supplies, they couldn't use the power of the military magic machines, so Duke Wein's subordinates couldn't resist anymore.
Half a month later, after completely defeating Duke Wein and taking over his territory, Xu Yi surprised everyone. He didn't stop and directly attacked the two lords next to him.
In just ten days, Xu Yi's private guards had completely defeated the two lords and taken over their territories.
After this, Xu Yi spent twenty days to recover.
When everyone thought that Xu Yi would stop like this and wouldn't wildly attack the other lords like Duke Wein, Xu Yi suddenly moved again.
It was fine if he didn't move, but once he moved, it was like thunder.
In a single month, Xu Yi's private guards had defeated seven lords, taking the territories of those seven lords under his name.
In all these battles, with the large amount of military magic machines' firepower, the other lords couldn't resist at all and were all defeated without exception.
At this time, the other lords in the Principality of Constantine finally understood.
Although Xu Yi wasn't Duke Wein, he was more of a threat than Duke Wein!
Thus, all the remaining lords in the Principality of Constantine gathered together and planned to resist Xu Yi's attack.
However, the merciless reality shattered the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Xu Yi had only sent out five thousand private guards, but they had easily defeated the forty thousand army gathered by the lords.
Moreover, Xu Yi's private guards had the absolute initiative and had the complete advantage.
In front of Xu Yi's private guards, the lords' subordinates were like children in front of adults. They could only be beaten up and couldn't resist at all.
This battle completely shattered the other lords' thoughts of resistance. After this battle, most of the lords chose to surrender to Xu Yi. A few of them secretly took their belongings and fled the Principality of Constantine, disappearing like Duke Wein.
In less than two months, Xu Yi had completely defeated all the other lords in the Principality of Constantine. He had truly achieved what Duke Wein had thought of before, which was to bring the entire Principality of Constantine under his control.
However, out of everyone's expectations, Xu Yi rejected the request of a large group of people for him to succeed Duke Stantine. Instead, he announced the formation of a parliament in the Principality of Constantine, the Principality of Constantine for short. It would be responsible for managing all the large and small government affairs in the Principality of Constantine.
At the same time, Xu Yi recommended Count Anklo as the chairman of this parliament. He also recommended several young lords in the Principality of Constantine and selected a few commoners from the Principality of Constantine to enter the parliament. They would also serve as committee members and assist Count Anklo in managing the affairs of the duchy.
As for Xu Yi himself, he only had the title of special advisor in the parliament. He didn't participate in the management of government affairs and would only provide advice and assistance when needed.
Of course, this was what he said publicly. In everyone's opinion, with his strong control over the Principality of Constantine, how could the government affairs in the Principality of Constantine be bypassed by him?
To put it bluntly, although Xu Yi didn't have the title of Duke Stantine, he had the title of Duke Stantine.
It was even more exaggerated to say that with his control over the Principality of Constantine, he could be said to be the king of this country!
###
A breeze blew in from the window, bringing with it a trace of coldness.
Xu Yi withdrew his gaze from the statistical report in his hand and raised his head to look out the window.
Although it was still green outside the window at this time, it was already the end of December and they had officially entered the late winter season.
From the time they left the Lampari Kingdom until now, the New Flyer had been in the Principality of Constantine for more than two years.
It was only today that they had truly taken root.
Every time he thought of the storms that the New Flyer had experienced in the Principality of Constantine over the past two years, Xu Yi couldn't help feeling emotional.
Although the New Flyer had just left the Lampari Kingdom and wasn't strong enough after entering the Principality of Constantine, Xu Yi decided that it was more important to gain a firm foothold first.
But in these two years, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had many chances to control the situation of the Stantine Duchy like they did now.
The reason why they didn't do this was because Xu Yi wasn't interested in it.
But in these two years, the situation in the Principality of Constantine had changed and the New Flyer had paid a heavy price because of Xu Yi's disinterest.
Duke Wein's surprise attack on the New Flyer didn't cause that much damage, but Duke Wein's attempt to capture the New Flyer with the Sack Kingdom had made the New Flyer suffer heavy losses.
Xu Yi didn't care about the economic losses.
Even if the New Flyer had invested over three million gold coins to take care of the threat from Duke Wein and the Sack Kingdom, adding in the funds invested in the reconstruction after the war, as well as the following development plans, Xu Yi estimated that the New Flyer would invest close to ten million gold coins next year, but Xu Yi didn't feel any heartache.
What really made his heart ache was the large number of lives that had been lost in this experiment.
"If I had been a bit more resolute, perhaps there wouldn't have been this many deaths, right?"
Looking at the red leaves falling outside the window, Xu Yi's eyes dimmed, but after a while, they became firm again.
"No matter what, since I've already made my decision, I can't hesitate anymore."
Xu Yi tightly clenched his fists before relaxing them.
After controlling the Principality of Constantine, there were many people who suggested that he should take the position of Duke Stantine, or even directly become king.
Xu Yi rejected them all.
Although his mind had changed after the previous matters and he was willing to control the situation, he was clear that with the New Flyer's current strength, it wasn't a problem to control the Principality of Constantine. It was enough to stop the other forces from coveting the Principality of Constantine and the New Flyer, but it wasn't realistic to control the entire Principality of Constantine on the surface.
"No matter what, I can't put my fate in the hands of others in the future, rather it should be in my own hands."
Xu Yi looked at the red leaves falling outside the window and the sparse forest, suddenly feeling enlightened.
He raised his hand and pointed. The fallen leaves outside the window, which were originally like the early autumn scenery, suddenly rippled as if a small stone had been thrown into it.
At this time, Xu Yi actually broke through.
