Chapter 29: Crushing

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Xu Yi continued: "If the finances of the Lampari Kingdom can improve, I don't think the Sark Kingdom can be our opponent at all, where do we need to break our bones and lose our vitality just to recapture a Murto Mountains." ”

President Cruise and President Resa smiled wryly at the same time.

Of course, they understood this truth, especially after seeing the terrifying power of these four magic trebuchets developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they were even more convinced of it.

But they are also very clear that the financial difficulties of the Lampari Kingdom are not a day or two, and it is not easy to get better.

"It's actually quite easy. Xu Yi shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten that Bangta City was also very embarrassed in the past few years, why has it suddenly improved a lot in the past two years?"

President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi: "President Xu, you don't have to pick this time if you want to boast, right? Who doesn't know that the changes in our Bangta City are all because of the development driven by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I'm not trying to boast, I just want to remind you." The development of Bonta City is driven by the development and growth of the magic industry, so why can't the model of Bonta City be extended to the entire Lampari Kingdom? Think about how much Bonta City's financial revenue increased last year? If the entire Lampari Kingdom also has such growth, then the military department should not say that it will be no problem to buy four magic trebuchets, even if it buys forty or four hundred. ”

President Cruise continued with a wry smile, "It's easy to say, but the problem is that it is not so easy to spread the magic industry to the entire Lampari Kingdom. Don't you see that you're going to have such a big problem just in Bonta City?"

"Lord Castle, he'......," President Resa spat out a few words. He smiled wryly and closed his mouth.

He and President Cruise both had helpless expressions on their faces.

He is the president of several large chambers of commerce in Bangta City. Of course, they knew better than ordinary civilians the real reason why Count Stark targeted Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But it is precisely because of knowing this real reason. On the contrary, it made them feel even more helpless in their hearts.

They are great businessmen, but they are not great politicians.

This kind of political affairs, with their current status, it is impossible to meddle in it.

Even if they are deeply unhappy about the unfair treatment suffered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the changes that have occurred before and after Bonta City, they are helpless.

Xu Yi talked to them about this matter, of course, not to get practical support from them.

In fact, he just wanted to find out what they really were.

Needless to say, the veteran ally President Cruise is still mainly in the attitude of President Relsa.

Because the cooperation between the Renekton Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been as long as the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have cooperated. Therefore, the attitude of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce actually represents the attitude of most of the chambers of commerce in Bonta City.

Now it seems that at the very least, most of the chambers of commerce in Bonta City should support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and are dissatisfied with Earl Stark.

Actually, this is also nonsense.

After Count Stark came, he immediately implemented a policy of suppressing commerce and rejuvenating agriculture, and the major chambers of commerce in Bunta City suffered direct losses, so it is strange that businessmen would like this Count Stark.

While a few people were chatting leisurely here, in fact, the battle on the periphery never stopped.

However, there is not much to say about the whole situation.

Although the orcs who came by surprise were more than 5,000, under the continuous bombardment of the four magic trebuchets, this group of orcs only broke through from 500 meters to 200 meters away, and they had already suffered extremely heavy losses. The formation was even more scattered.

And when they saw themselves rushing to close range, the four terrifying magical trebuchets finally stopped firing boulders. Just when I was excited about it and was about to muster up the momentum to launch a charge again, I found that there was an overwhelming, dense rain of arrows flying in front of me, and there was no way to dodge.

Seeing the orcs in the distance pounce under the rain of arrows, President Cruise and President Resa were once again speechless.

The two stared blankly for a while, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xu Yi together.

President Resa smiled bitterly and said, "President Xu, how did I find out that it is enough to only need the guards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to come, and there is no need for the guards of our several chambers of commerce to help." ”

"That's it, where are you fighting, it's a complete massacre. Seeing that the battle situation was completely unexpectedly relaxed, the nervousness on President Cruise's face gradually faded, and he even had the leisure to make a joke.

"This is a joint action of our four chambers of commerce, can't we let our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce contribute, right?" Xu Yi said with a smile. "Besides, it's always good to be more prepared. ”

President Resa nodded, observed the situation of the peripheral battle, and then looked at the magic repeater that almost every human guard of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had, pondered for a moment, and asked, "President Xu, is this thing for sale?"

"I'd love to sell it, but unfortunately, this one, like the Magic Trebuchet, is a weapon restricted by the military department. Unless the military department agrees, we can use it ourselves, but we can't sell it to others. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said. "Even if I use it myself, it's because of my current status as a viscount and lord, and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can't use it in name. ”

President Resa didn't have too many surprised expressions, such a powerful armament weapon would of course be subject to the special control of the Kingdom Military Department.

Otherwise, if it falls to other countries, such as the Kingdom of Sark, it will in turn pose a threat to the Kingdom of Lampari.

Looking at the large number of arrow boxes that were half a human height piled up at the feet of each of the human guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, President Resa couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked again: "President Xu, this magic crossbow is easy to use, but it's too wasteful of arrows, right?" I see that just for a while, a guard has already used up more than a dozen arrow boxes, and according to what you said about equipping twenty feather arrows in one arrow box, this is nearly three hundred. This consumes ...... It's a little too high. ”

Xu Yi shrugged: "Fighting a war is originally about spending money. In my opinion. It is better to spend money than to die, money can be earned again when it is gone, and people cannot be resurrected after death. ”

President Resa could only smile bitterly, looked at the orcs who fell in pieces like wheat under the overwhelming rain of arrows, shook his head and said, "If the military department can be as extravagant as you, I'm afraid that the kingdom of Sark would have been flattened by us a long time ago." ”

Xu Yi smiled and did not answer.

Is the military department as extravagant as he is? This is a joke at all.

In order to deal with this joint operation, Xu Yi dragged out the current family of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in addition to ensuring that this operation can be perfectly successful, but also to verify the actual combat effect of these things.

So far, the effect is excellent, but the accompanying problem is that the consumption is indeed too high.

In order to achieve the current effect, Xu Yi's total investment has exceeded 30,000 gold coins if converted into gold coins.

And this is just a contact battle with the rabble orcs, and if it is the kind of battle between the Zhenbei Army and the regular army of the Sark Kingdom, the cost will inevitably increase geometrically.

Major McConley told him that after the battle in the Murto Mountains, the military headquarters could not even come up with five thousand gold coins, and Xu was not at all surprised.

If you want to crush the enemy with equipment, of course, it costs money.

The moment the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took out their magic repeaters, it meant that this raid by the orc clan had completely failed.

It was only a distance of two hundred meters, but for these orcs, it was like a moat, and they couldn't cross it at all.

Covered by an almost endless rain of arrows, the rushing orcs fell in waves, and there was no means of resistance.

Compared with humans, the orcs originally lived in a bad environment, and it was even more impossible to obtain many sophisticated weapons, and they could resist, and they completely relied on their own physical strength to achieve absolute superiority in hand-to-hand combat with humans.

However, when Xu also used the magic trebuchet, a large-scale killing weapon, coupled with the support of the magic repeater, he did not give the orcs much chance to fight each other at all.

Originally, there were more than 5,000 orcs, but in the end, there were only less than 1,000 orcs who were able to break through the rain of arrows and rush into the defensive circle.

And even if there were less than a thousand orcs, they were all seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

At this time, the guards of the four major chambers of commerce had already recuperated for a long time, and their morale had risen to the peak.

The orcs finally got the opportunity to engage the human guards in hand-to-hand combat, only to find to their horror that the armor they wore was extremely hard, and their weapons were also extremely sharp.

With the gap in weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the human guards was instantly drawn to an extremely close distance from the orcs who did not have any armor and body, and most of the weapons were picked up from wooden sticks or even stones.

In addition, one was highly moraled, the other had just received a heavy blow and was demoralized, and when the two sides began to fight in close quarters, the occupation suddenly showed a one-sided situation.

It's just that after about ten minutes, less than a thousand orcs who finally rushed over have already fallen, and the remaining hundreds of orcs saw that the situation was not good, and finally couldn't help but turn around and start to escape.

However, as soon as they had taken a distance, they heard the palpitating creaking sound and the sound of boulders breaking through the air.

The four magic trebuchets that had not been put away at all were activated again, and the boulder fell towards the orcs fleeing in all directions, although the formation of the orcs when they fled was very scattered, so that the hit rate was not high, but it still killed at least half of the orcs who escaped, and directly shattered their last trace of fighting spirit.

Looking at the remaining more than 100 orcs who were far away on the dark horizon at the far end of the wasteland, Xu Yi felt a little pity in his heart.

If we can equip some war horses, maybe we can let the guards rush over and kill all the remaining more than 100 orcs.

It's a pity that war horses are an extremely scarce resource in the Lampari Kingdom, and even if Xu Yi has a good relationship with the military department, it is impossible to equip the guards under the name of his chamber of commerce. (To be continued......)
