Vol 7 Chapter 134: Helpless

The Marquis de Descartes originally thought that Xu’s unexpectedly strong attitude was just a means of negotiation, in order to force the Candela empire to replace the conditions that were more favorable to them.
This kind of negotiation is also common, so he is only an initial horror, but he is not too anxious. He reports the initial negotiations to the upper level of the Candela Empire, and is ready to continue to contact the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Rulson. One step negotiation.
However, to his surprise, both the Kingdom of Rulson and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have been toughly rejecting his request to meet again, so that he and his entourage are in Babral. I stayed in it for a week, and I didn’t even see anyone in the management of the Kingdom of Rulson and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, let alone the decision-making role.
A week later, a message was sent to the ear of the Marquis de Descartes, and he and the entire messiers were shocked and apologetic.
The alliance between the Kingdom of Rulson and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards broke the city of Mobigan in the southern city of Talaman province two days ago, on May 3, and is now approaching the provincial capital of Talaman.
"The Marquis adults, these guys seem...it seems to have no idea of ​​negotiating with us..." An ambassador was stunned to the Marquis de Descartes.
The Marquis de Descartes can no longer maintain the calm and calm expression on his face, and the weak smile is full of bitterness.
He did not think that the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Rulson would not give them the opportunity to really face peace talks.
Do they really think they have the ability to beat the mighty Candela empire?
"The Marquis, what do we do now?" asked another member of the ambassador.
The Marquis Descartes shook his head slightly, and his expression was a bit stunned.
The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce was completely out of his expectation, so that he did not know what to do.
After a long time of contemplation, the Marquis Descartes sighed long.
"Wait. The only thing we can do is to wait. In any case, we must look at how the performance on the battlefield. So now we can only hope that the soldiers of the empire will not let us down... ..."
Let the other members of the group look at me, I look at you and see the bitterness in the other's smile.
If the soldiers of the empire will not let them down on the battlefield. Why did they appear here, and even have to endure the arrogance of the Luerxun Kingdom and the new Feifei Chamber of Commerce?
###
From another point of view, the officers of the Candela Imperial Army did not really disappoint the members of the Mission.
Because... they did, as everyone expected, did not resist the attack of Lu Xinlian.
After the Lu Xinlian army broke out a more aggressive attack than before. The province of Talaman fell faster than the southwestern province.
It took only 21 days, and the provincial capital of Talaman province has been broken. The governor of Talaman province, the Duke of Lagor, swears and dies, and is directly killed in the battle.
The five magisters who had requested reinforcements at the Candela Imperial Army were not spared this time, and a magician was degraded. Two of the remaining four magisters were seriously injured and the other two were forced to retreat.
After the fall of the province, the five northern cities of the province of Talaman went to the Luxin coalition to surrender.
At this point, the province of Talaman has completely fallen.
On May 29th, the Governor of the Southern Province, the Duke of Herman Windsor, suddenly announced the independence of the southern province and the independence of the Candela Empire.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Candela empire was shocked and the entire Sainz mainland was shocked.
On June 7th, one of the southernmost provinces of the Candela empire, and the province of Tural, the province with the largest coastline in the Candela empire, also declared its departure from the Candela empire. Instead of announcing independence, it was announced to join the Principality of Stading.
The province of Tural is one of the most cooperative provinces of the Candela Empire and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. In the past few years, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has built up nearly 100 cooperative projects in the province of Tulaal, almost It involves all aspects of the province of Tural, and it is the most infiltrated province.
When the Candela Empire announced that the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce was a hostile chamber of commerce, the industry of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce in the province of Tural had suffered some damage, but most of it was preserved by other means, making the new Feishang Association The forces in the province of Tural are still ingrained.
So this time the province of Tural announced the departure from the Candela empire after the southern province and merged into the Principality of Stading, although it still shocked countless people. But it is not too much unexpected.
However, the impact of the declaration of independence with the southern provinces is mainly different in spirit. The departure of the province of Tural has caused very serious substantive damage to the Candela empire.
Because of the limited cooperation agreement between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire, the Magic Industry Industry related projects invested by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire are mainly concentrated in two places.
The first place is the industrial base near the capital, Wimbledon, whose main role is a demonstration. So the scale is not big.
In comparison, the real cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire can be said to be concentrated in the province of Tural.
The scale of the magical industrial industry in a province of Tural alone is enough to account for more than 70% of all the magical industrial industries that the Candela Empire has developed over the years.
Now that the province of Tural has left the Candela empire, it has had a serious impact on all aspects of the entire Candela empire, and immediately triggered a nationwide panic in the Candela Empire.
More importantly, the departure of the province of Tural. This means that the Candela Empire lost its southern coastline and lost all its estuaries.
The current Candela empire has almost become a landlocked country.
Of course, people on the current Sains continent do not have a strong understanding of this.
The focus of attention is still on the Luxin coalition that is advancing into the Candela empire.
The two provinces were conquered one after another, and during this period the army of the Candela Empire did not even see the hope of even a little victory on the frontal battlefield, which seriously devastated the morale and confidence of the Candela Empire.
Although the Candela Empire did not give up, and tried every means to save the tide, but there is no chance of winning on the frontal battlefield. Even if you want to set up an ambush to reverse the battle, all the ambush will be made because of the ubiquitous magic airship of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. It has become a joke.
As the Luxin coalition marched toward Wimbledon, the civilians of the Candela empire did not feel much, and the nobles at the top of the empire were more and more fearful.
Following the southwestern province and the province of Tural, there were 13 provinces that announced their departure from the Candela empire and publicly expressed different degrees of willingness to cooperate with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
As a result, nearly half of the Candela empire has been out of control.
In the history of the Candela empire for nearly a thousand years, there have been great chaos caused by various reasons. Even the emperor Wimbledon was destroyed, and the entire empire was caught in the war, even close to the critical moment of extinction.
In these critical moments, the Candela empire can finally recover and revert to a huge empire.
But this time... it is different from all the crises that have happened in the past.
In the past, the Candela Empire was in crisis, mostly because of civil strife.
This time, there was no civil strife before the Candela empire. On the contrary, it has been called the Golden Age of the most stable and best-developed imperial power in the history of the Candela Empire for nearly a hundred years.
Under normal circumstances, such a Candela empire is simply impossible to be defeated.
But now the emergence of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce has shattered all the defenses of the Candela Empire, and it has brought the Candela Empire into chaos.
August 16 is almost the hottest day of the year.
On this day, the Luxin coalition forces contributed to the southernmost state of the central bank of the Candela empire, St. Anthony, officially stepped into the Central Bank of the province, and really threatened the heart of the Candela empire in Wimbledon.
Five days later, the Marquis de Descartes once again led the envoys, appearing under the city of St. Anthony, and appeared in front of the Luxin coalition.
However, unlike the self-confidence of four months ago, even with a glimpse of arrogance, the current Marquis Descartes once again saw the well-equipped New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards in the Lu Xin coalition, and there was no body in mind. For the superiority of the Marquis of the Candela Empire, there is only endless bitterness and sorrow.
In the past few months, the numerous battles with the Luxin coalition forces have told everyone that the Candela empire, which was so powerful in people’s minds, was so vulnerable.
The continuous defeat of more than a year since last year has completely shattered the confidence of all the nobles of the Candela Empire and the Marquis of Descartes, and also shattered the pride of their hearts.
No matter how cursed and hateful they are in their hearts, they have to admit that the empire has been at a loss when it comes to the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Even the prince of Descartes has a hint of joy and happiness.
During these four months, the Candela Empire made several requests for peace talks to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Even the Marquis de Descartes risked his life and came to the Luxin coalition several times before, but the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not respond once.
Now, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has finally given a positive response, and promised to give the Candela empire a chance to have peace talks. The Marquis de Descartes is naturally a big joy, and the high level of the entire Candela empire is also a big joy.
The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is still willing to talk, it proves that there is hope for relaxation.
As for what the Candela empire will become after the peace talks, that is something that can be considered later... (~^~)
