Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 565
c565 The so-called levy order
When controlling the senior members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce, Yu Fei simplified the control process as much as possible to prevent himself from becoming confused. But even the simplified mental control made the members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce extremely loyal to Yu Fei after two years of subtle influence.
Even as soon as Yu Fei walked to the door of the Lord’s Mansion, he was noticed by the senior members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce. They quickly came to the door to greet their lord under the leadership of the old president.
Although Yu Fei’s appearance could not be seen clearly in his black robe and hood, they knew clearly through the vague spiritual connection that this mysterious man was their master, Lord Earl O’Brien, who had disappeared for nearly two years.
“Welcome Lord Earl!” Yu Fei stepped forward, and the members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce greeted him. Yu Fei was unmoved, passed the members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce who bowed their heads, entered the hall of the Lord’s Mansion, and sat in the top seat.
Members of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce filed in and stood in the hall in several rows, each with their heads bowed in a respectful manner.
After a long time, Yu Fei spoke. “President Stanley, please explain to me the situation in the territory during this period. In addition, what is the conscription order?”
President Stanley, who was uneasy because of Yu Fei’s long silence, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stepped forward to narrate. With his narration, Yu Fei gradually understood the situation in O’Brien Territory in the past two years.
Although the lord Yu Fei has been away, the ability of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce is still very good, and it can easily maintain the operation of the territory. For example, the arrival of the tax collectors and inspectors of the empire was all handled by President Stanley.
At the beginning, Yu Fei smuggled enchanted equipment through O’Brien Territory, exchanged for magic crystals and magic cores and transported them back to the Far North Sea. Later, when he supported Yorick to sit on the throne of the Shadow Kingdom, he handed this matter over to the Shadow Kingdom, but the port of O’Brien was still a transit station.
Therefore, the economic situation in O’Brien has developed well in the past two years. Fortunately, the previous undead disaster did not affect this place. Instead, the Stani Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money by taking advantage of the enchanted equipment that the night elves transported in large quantities at that time.
Of course, Yu Fei no longer cares about the income of this small territory. President Stani always excitedly reports that the assets of the Chamber of Commerce have increased tenfold in the past two years, but Yu Fei remains unmoved.
Finally, realizing that his master seemed to be uninterested in this matter, President Stani finally turned the topic to the conscription order. After he explained, Yu Fei understood what this conscription order was.
It turned out that this conscription order was still triggered by the orcs. After the new orcs conquered the western territory of the Canaan Empire, they turned to the northeast and entered the heart of the human world.
At the beginning, the orcs only bullied those kingdoms, but after conquering three kingdoms and finding that other human countries did not react much, they shifted their target to the empire.
In fact, it is not the fault of the human countries for not being united. They have just recovered from the undead disaster. Apart from the three empires, which country has the ability to support other countries? Besides, the Canaan Empire, one of the three major empires of mankind, suffered a great loss at the hands of the orcs, and those kingdoms could do nothing about it.
The rampant orcs chose to go to war with the Holy Lion Empire and the Bozana Empire at the same time. However, to their surprise, they suffered completely different situations from the previous war with the Canaan Empire in these two empires.
The reason why the new orcs were able to quickly conquer one-third of the territory of the Canaan Empire was that the Canaan Empire did not expect that the orcs could actually cross the endless jungle and fight to the east of the Warcraft Mountains; secondly, the focus of the Canaan Empire was temporarily placed in the south at that time, wanting to solve the problem of the sea tribe’s invasion, so it looked very embarrassed under the offensive of the orcs.
The Holy Lion Empire and the Bozana Empire were different. First of all, they did not have external threats like the sea tribe; secondly, although the new orcs’ offensive was rapid and they took one-third of the territory of the Canaan Empire in a flash, they slowed down when they conquered those human kingdoms later.
This gave the two empires time to prepare.
At this critical moment, the Holy Lion Empire and the Bozana Empire put aside their past grudges and decided to unite to fight against the invasion of the orcs. Later, the Canaan Empire also joined in. Although the orcs did not continue to attack the Canaan Empire, the Canaan Empire could not sit idly by and watch its territory fall.
As the first empire to fight the orcs, the Canaan Empire had some understanding of the power of the orcs, and shared this understanding with the other two empires at no cost.
After borrowing intelligence from the Canaan Empire, the Holy Lion Empire and the Bozana Empire made some targeted arrangements, which seriously frustrated the offensive of the orcs.
This so-called targeted arrangement is actually to recruit a large number of mages to form a mage group to fight with the army. When the Canaan Empire was fighting against the orcs, it was found that ordinary human armies could hardly compete with the orc warriors. Only the magicians could inflict good damage on the orc warriors.
After analysis, the Canaan Empire found that although the orcs’ strength had greatly improved compared to what was recorded in the classics, they were no longer able to use magic for some reason. Since they were not able to use magic, they naturally did not know how to defend against it, so the magicians’ abilities could be fully demonstrated.
In fact, as a new empire, the number of mages in the Canaan Empire is not as large as that of the Holy Lion Empire and the Bozana Empire. Therefore, when the two empires gathered a large number of mages, they really resisted the attack of the orcs and even managed to keep the enemy out of the country.
When the situation was the best, the three human empires even shouted the slogan of repelling the orcs and chasing them to the west of the Warcraft Mountains to completely wipe out the orcs. Unfortunately, such an advantage could not last too long.
Soon, with the display of some strange abilities of the orcs, the armies of the three empires were defeated.
The mysterious warrior who could appear silently in the camp of the rear mage group and then roll up a huge storm; the mysterious wizard who could cast strange spells so that some orcs would not be hurt at all under any attack; and various other strange things made the empire. The army suffered a lot.
According to President Stanley’s description, Yu Fei did not accidentally find that the strange abilities of the orcs were things like healing guards.
When the armies of the three empires were beaten back and the orcs were pressing forward, humans discovered that the orcs, who were not good at siege in the records, actually showed strong ability in siege.
Some strange machines that looked like catapults, but could burn long-lasting flames and continue to collapse the city walls after throwing boulders; wolf knights who could easily chop the city walls into pieces with scimitars; and tauren who could easily knock open the city gates with huge totem poles, made the strong city that humans were proud of as fragile as paper in front of the orcs.
The defeat was like a landslide. The Holy Lion Empire and the Bozana Empire almost fell into the same situation as the Canaan Empire – if many families in the country had not risen up to join the war.
For example, in the Holy Lion Empire, members of the “Saint” family went to the battle one after another, and in addition to the private army, they also contributed a large number of mages. In the Bozana Empire, those powerful families also contributed their own strength to resist the orcs.
The conscription order is a product of this situation. The targets of the conscription, in addition to the nobles of all sizes in the empire, are the mages who have not participated in the war before.
Coincidentally, Yu Fei’s disguised identity, Earl O’Brien, is not only a noble of moderate size, but also a powerful mage. The conscription order of the Holy Lion Empire was naturally sent to O’Brien.
This kind of wartime order is not comparable to the tax inspector and the like, and the Stanley Chamber of Commerce cannot suppress it at all. Fortunately, the Saint Child family came forward to mediate, so that O’Brien County coped with the first conscription order. But just yesterday, the empire’s second round of conscription orders was issued again, and Earl O’Brien’s name was listed.
