Leslie put down the binoculars in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
The closest Magic Rocket was two hundred meters away from the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet, but it didn't cause any substantial damage to them. This result made him very satisfied and he relaxed.
Even if Leslie didn't put the battle strength of the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet in his eyes, the other side still represented the Kandla Empire's military. If they did cause any damage to the other side, it would be equal to declaring war on the Kandla Empire.
No matter how bold Leslie was, he wouldn't do something this crazy.
"Sir Leslie, since we've already escaped, why do we have to fire some magic rockets to scare them?
Isn't this completely useless? Moreover, this will definitely anger the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet. If we want to move around in these seas in the future, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. "
The lookout on the side took the binoculars from Leslie and looked at the situation in the distance, feeling a bit worried.
Leslie laughed, thinking that even if you ask me this question, I don't know who to ask.
According to his thoughts and rational judgement, it was clear that they shouldn't have any conflicts with the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet.
Since they weren't willing to let the other side search their ships, directly running away was a very good choice.
Since they had already escaped, they should just run away and be done with it.
No matter how much the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet wanted to cause trouble, in these vast seas, how could it be easy to find them?
Not to mention that the difference in speed between the two ships was too great. Even if they met, the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet wouldn't be able to catch them.
He believed that those fellows from the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet weren't idiots. After seeing the difference in speed between the two sides, they would definitely give up the idea of chasing them.
But now, while they were escaping, they launched an attack on the other party. Although the purpose was only to warn them, this action changed the whole situation completely.
Previously, the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet had attempted to search and warn the New Flyer's guard fleet, which could be considered an ordinary routine duty. But now, the dozens of magic rocket launchers that were thrown out were a blatant attack on the Kandla Empire's Royal Fleet, which was equivalent to challenging the Kandla Empire's military.
The Kandla Empire would definitely not tolerate such provocation and would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.
What was even worse was that Leslie had just revealed his identity, telling the other side that they were part of the New Flyer's guard fleet.
Even if the Kandla Empire couldn't find them on the vast ocean, it wouldn't be a problem for them to find the New Flyer.
According to Xu Yi's strange words, the priest could run away, but the church couldn't.
So in Leslie's opinion, the series of actions just now could be considered unnecessary and could even be considered very stupid.
But this series of actions … had come from Xu Yi's instructions.
When they had set off from the Principality of Constantine, Xu Yi had specially talked to Leslie in private, telling him what to do after entering the Kandla Empire's waters and making plans for what would happen today.
Leslie had approved of Xu Yi's crazy idea at the time, but when he actually did it today, he still felt that this method was … Un, too crazy.
Thinking of Xu Yi's confident smile before leaving, Leslie gave a bitter laugh, thinking that even he couldn't see through this guy's thoughts anymore.
He didn't know where this fellow had the confidence to do this, but wasn't he worried about angering the Kandla Empire? Not only would he suffer the retaliation of the Kandla Empire, it would also destroy his plan to open the Kandla Empire's market and let magic machines enter the Kandla Empire on a large scale?
While thinking about Xu Yi's long term plan, the lookout beside him suddenly called out in surprise.
"Sir Leslie, look!"
Leslie looked in the direction the lookout was pointing and saw in the distant blue sky, there was a shadow that was quickly flying over.
Seeing this familiar shadow, Leslie slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"This fellow, he's finally here."
Five minutes later, the Magic Airship landed on the incomparably wide deck of the medium Magic Ship that Leslie was on.
The medium Magic Ship slightly sank, but it was still floating on the surface of the sea, making Leslie's nervous heart relax.
The door of the Magic Airship opened and Xu Yi was the first to jump out.
When they saw Xu Yi, all the crew on the deck respectfully gave him a bow.
As the New Flyer's position in the surrounding countries became higher and higher, its influence became bigger and bigger. Everyone in the New Flyer felt more and more awe towards Xu Yi.
Although Leslie didn't respect Xu Yi like the other employees of the company, seeing the confident smile on Xu Yi's face after coming out of the Magic Airship, he couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
The first time he saw Xu Yi, he was just the chairman of a small company and a small magician. His status was far from Leslie's at that time.
But now in less than five years, the New Flyer had become a first class company that could influence the Lampari Kingdom and the surrounding countries. Xu Yi himself had become a powerful Great Magician.
This kind of change was something that Leslie never thought of before.
He never thought that there would be a day when he would become Xu Yi's subordinate and work for the New Flyer.
These emotions didn't affect the smile on Leslie's face. He walked over and punched Xu Yi in the chest before saying with a smile, "Xu Yi, you came too late.
If you came a bit earlier, you would have been able to see a good play. "
"Un?" Xu Yi revealed a doubtful look.
Leslie described the matter of encountering the Candra Empire's royal fleet in detail.
After hearing this, Xu Yi's expression didn't change as he asked, "You're certain that not a single ship from the Kandla Empire's royal fleet was damaged?
Not a single person died? "
Leslie shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not that ignorant.
Relax, I've already confirmed it. They didn't suffer any substantial losses.
But Xu Yi ….. Even if they didn't suffer any substantial losses, I'm certain that this method has completely angered them. I'm afraid that this will be bad for our fleet and the company. "
Xu Yi laughed, "Angering them might not be bad for us. If I said that this would make it easier to carry out my plan, would you believe me?"
Leslie shook his head. He wanted to say that he didn't believe him, but seeing the mysterious smile on Xu Yi's face, he swallowed his words back down.
From the time Xu Yi founded the New Flyer until now, he had done many crazy things, but the final result always showed how correct his initial decision was. In the end, whether it was him or the New Flyer, they would both receive great benefits.
Only this time he had angered one of the two empires of Sines, the Kandla Empire. Wasn't he afraid of playing with fire?
Xu Yi didn't care about what Leslie was thinking and asked him about the encounters of the guard fleet during this time. After learning that the New Flyer guard fleet had become the overlords of the surrounding several hundred kilometers and no pirates dared to challenge them, he relaxed.
"This is good, but it's not enough.
Leslie, I hope that you can control the Kandla Empire's seas and the eastern seas of the continent within three months. "Xu Yi said.
Leslie slightly knit his brows, "I'm afraid that's impossible.
If it was just pirates, then there wouldn't be a problem.
But now that the Kandla Empire's royal fleet is involved and we've completely offended them because of our decision, our movements in the Kandla Empire's seas will definitely be restricted.
We can't really fight with them … … "
Xu Yi waved his hand with a smile, "Actually my specific request is to open a route through the entire southern seas of Sines.
I want to guarantee that from the Principality of Constantine to the southeast coast of Sines, there will be an absolutely safe route that will allow our company's transport fleet to transport goods to the southeast coast of the continent. "
Leslie's brows jumped up, "What?
You're already prepared to make a move that far away? "
Xu Yi revealed a smile, "Don't forget, this time they took the initiative to send themselves to us."
Leslie couldn't help shaking his head with a smile, "Alright, as long as the Kandla Empire's royal fleet doesn't cause trouble, controlling the entire southern seas of the continent isn't that hard.
Of course, I don't have enough people and ships right now. It's hard to control such a large area, so you have to give me more people and ships. "
"This problem is being solved right now.
But Leslie, you should be clear that it's impossible to control the entire sea with just ships. The most feasible method is to be like Thunderbolt Island, controlling large amounts of islands and building bases on the sea that belong to our company.
Like this, not only will we have strong control over the sea, it will also make it easier for you to resupply. "
"Un, this method is the safest." Leslie nodded.
"But this will cost an astronomical amount of investment, are you certain you want to do this?"
Xu Yi's lips split open, revealing his white teeth as he said with a laugh, "Leslie, don't forget, the sea has endless resources.
Although the investment is large, the benefits are also large. "
Leslie couldn't help rolling his eyes.
He had forgotten that Xu Yi was the most standard merchant, how could he do a business that was a complete loss?
