Chapter 30: Behind the Amazing Results
Compared with Xu Yi, others were extremely satisfied, even shocked and incredulous, with the current result.
According to common sense, more than 5,000 orcs faced less than 2,000 human warriors, even if two hundred elven warriors and three hundred dwarven warriors were added, it was definitely a crushing situation.
Even if the orcs don't have the right weapons and equipment, and the gap in combat effectiveness is a little closer, it is definitely a great advantage.
However, the result of the battle now in front of everyone is that only about 100 of the more than 5,000 orcs escaped, and the rest were almost completely wiped out.
On their side, however, only three human guards were seriously injured in the final handover, and more than a hundred people were slightly injured, not even a single one was killed in battle!
If you listen to such a result to people who have not personally experienced this battle, no one will believe it at all, and even they themselves will not dare to believe it.
Everyone first raised their heads and looked up at the four magic trebuchets, and everyone knew very well that the biggest contributor to such a battle was these four magic trebuchets.
If it was the kind of old-fashioned trebuchet used in the army before, it would not be able to be used as a defense at all, because the old-fashioned trebuchet had a very low firing frequency, and it would be good to be able to fire one or two stones during the orc charge.
However, this magic trebuchet can launch a boulder in less than half a minute on average, and the range is far beyond the old-fashioned trebuchet, reaching a terrifying five hundred meters, so that the orcs who rush over will be attacked by the magic trebuchet if they are far away, and nearly ten boulders are launched in a row throughout the whole process, completely changing the entire battle situation.
The second hero. It's those magic repeaters in the hands of the human guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
These magic repeaters have a super-fast rate of fire. And it's simple to launch. All you need to do is install the arrow box, then aim in the direction, press the switch, and all twenty feathered arrows in one arrow box will be shot in half a minute.
What's more, because the arrows fired by the magic crossbow are boosted by the magic array in the dispenser, the firing speed and range are much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows.
A magic repeater may not be a good idea, but when five hundred human guardians are armed with a magic repeater, and each of them is equipped with enough arrow magazines. Five hundred magic repeaters were fired at the same time, and the power was no longer enough to describe the horror.
If the four magic trebuchets directly defeated the formation of more than 5,000 people and played a decisive role, then the continuous rain of arrows fired by these magic crossbows together was the hero who really caused the most damage to the orcs.
And in the end, when the hand-to-hand combat was carried out, the reason why the battle loss rate of the guards of the four major chambers of commerce was so low was due to the fact that the quality of the weapons and armor provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was too good.
According to the evaluation of many veteran guards, the quality of the weapon armor obtained from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce this time was even better than the weapon armor they had used before made by the best blacksmiths.
So to sum up, under such a disparity of power, it has caused a result that everyone can hardly believe. Simply because the armaments of the two sides are too far apart.
But even after such a shocking result, Xu Yi, who was the most critical person who single-handedly created this result. But he frowned, as if he was not satisfied.
President Cruise and President Resa couldn't help but ask Xu Yi curiously why he was still not satisfied, and Xu Yi thought for a while and replied, "My original idea was to let these orcs be killed before they could get close to us at all, but I didn't expect that in the end, more than a thousand orcs rushed over. If you rush over a little more, it won't be so easy to clean up. ”
The two of them rolled their eyes at Xu Yi in unison.
How is it possible to kill the orcs before they even rush over?
Seeing the reactions of the two of them in obvious disbelief, Xu Yi glanced at the two of them with disdain.
Hmph, I haven't seen the world. If you let them know that the army on Earth can destroy the enemy even thousands of kilometers away, I wonder if they will faint with fear?
The end of the battle has resulted in such an amazing result, which means that the joint operation of the four chambers of commerce has been a great success.
The reason why I went to great lengths to lay the bait first, and then deliberately took a lot of goods into the Black Rice Wasteland to let myself go into danger, was to seduce these orcs on the Black Rice Wasteland who were still extremely hostile to humans, led by the Orc Independent Legion, and give them a heavy blow, and solve the troubles that the four chambers of commerce might encounter here at once.
I believe that after this and last time, the four chambers of commerce showed strong combat power, there should not be any orcs who are not long-eyed in the Black Rice Wasteland to take the initiative to provoke these four chambers of commerce, so that the factories and bases established by the four chambers of commerce here will be relatively safe.
Of course, for Xu Yi, the best way to achieve peace is not to kill, but to cooperate.
As long as the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland realize that only by cooperating with humans can they get a better life, then I believe that there will never be any orcs who will come to trouble the Human Chamber of Commerce in the future.
However, most orcs pursue the respect of the strong, and only by showing their own strength will the four chambers of commerce's investment in the Black Rice Wasteland be carried out smoothly, so Xu Yicai does not mind showing his strongest combat power in this operation, and intends to defeat the resistance of all orcs in one fell swoop.
This has proven to work well.
In the next few days, when the joint caravan of the four chambers of commerce began to officially station here to start the construction of the base, no orc who was not long-sighted dared to know anything about this place, and the four orc tribes who had previously agreed to the cooperation conditions of the four chambers of commerce sent orcs from the tribe in advance to assist the workers in building the base.
After all, after witnessing the transformation of the life of the Worrall werewolf tribe, these orcs are also full of longing and expectations for this life, and they also want to live such a good life as soon as possible, with a full stomach and clothes to wear.
At a time when construction was in full swing at this extremely low level of more than fifty kilometers deep into the Black Rice Wasteland, Xu Yi left here and went to the mines near the Worrall Werewolf Tribe and the non-ferrous metal smelting plant of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to investigate.
The mine is now in normal operation and is currently producing more than 20 tons of non-ferrous metal ore per day, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, the work of the non-ferrous metal smelter has encountered obstacles.
Although smelting non-ferrous metals is similar to smelting steel on the surface, it is much worse in practice.
Xu Yi is not a professional in non-ferrous metal smelting, and he can only rely on his experience in helping non-ferrous metal smelting factories design smelting machinery on the earth to give some references, but most of the remaining details still have to be solved by the workers in this factory themselves.
Fortunately, there may be a shortage of others in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but there will be no shortage of dwarves who are proficient in mining and smelting.
When Xu Yi opened this non-ferrous metal smelting factory, he directly transferred nearly 300 dwarf workers, and added another 500 human workers with work experience in the steel mill in the Falling Rain Valley as a supplement, so that the non-ferrous metal smelting plant could promote the research and production progress as much as possible.
Although at present, the smelting of non-ferrous metals has not been fully studied, but with the hard work of these experienced dwarven craftsmen, the progress is very fast, and it is believed that by the beginning of next year at the latest, qualified aluminum, lead, tin, tungsten and other non-ferrous metals can be successfully smelted according to Xu Yi's requirements.
If this non-ferrous metal smelting plant can successfully complete the smelting research, it not only means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have a large number of non-ferrous metals available in the future, accelerate the research of material technology, and enrich the product line, but also have a very important strategic significance, that is, it can cooperate with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the development of non-ferrous metal veins within the Lampari Kingdom.
According to the exploration of the dwarves, the kingdom of Lampari is not particularly rich in iron ore, but very rich in non-ferrous metals.
For modern industry, steel is the most important industrial material, but non-ferrous metals are absolutely indispensable, and they are not as readily available as iron ore.
So in this respect, the kingdom of Lampari has a unique advantage.
Of course, these are very long-term considerations.
For now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's investment in the mines and non-ferrous metal smelting plants here in the Worrall Werewolf Tribe is a net investment, and it will not be able to produce any profits for the time being.
However, Xu Yi is not in a hurry about this, the establishment of a magic industry system is a huge project, and there is no hurry at all.
As a mechanical engineer, he has a patience that surpasses others.
Moreover, the current operation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is quite good, because of the further popularization of magic machinery, the profits of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are currently rising every month, and although the current investment cost is huge, with the current financial situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is very easy to deal with.
The only problem is probably just the political situation within the Lampari Kingdom.
For this point, Xu Yi is also unthinkable for the time being.
Although he was barely among the nobles of the Lampari Kingdom, he was still far from deciding the high-level political situation of the Lampari Kingdom.
Of course, that doesn't mean he can't give Sevigny any support.
On the contrary, his support is very strong.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi showed a confident smile.
If the Lampari Kingdom had not tasted the sweetness before, then he really couldn't have any impact, but this time the military department had already tasted the sweetness of an easy victory from the battle for the Murto Mountains, and Xu Yi would never believe that they would be indifferent to it.
