At this time, in the conference room, there were more than twenty people sitting on each side of the table, all of whom were high-level technicians summoned by Tim for the purpose of cooperating with the manufacture of scimitars and armor.

After returning to Logo, Surin kept them busy making artillery, so the manufacture of scimitars and armor was put on hold.

Fortunately, he had already written down the things and processes that needed to be paid attention to in the manufacturing process, and now those technicians are working on them.

After a few hours, Su Lin saw that their discussion was also coming to an end, and immediately asked, "Do you still have any questions about these two projects?"

"Your Majesty, the scimitar has been thoroughly studied, mainly using steel for the blade, wrought iron for the spine, and the blade without pure steel can also save a lot of iron. ”

"Now that the armor is cold forged, will this cold forging really work?"

Facing their puzzled eyes, Su Lin also smiled, the technique of cold forging is actually very simple, that is, the iron sheet is not heated, and it is directly beaten at room temperature.

And the most famous cold forging armor is the iron floating map of the Jin Kingdom, everyone and horses are heavily armored, coupled with the tactics of abducting horses, at that time, there was no Liao to destroy the Song Dynasty, and there was no defeat in thirty years, although it was finally broken by Yue Fei.

In view of this, Su Lin also improved this tactic a little, and it would be much easier to deal with the heavy troops of the orcs at that time.

Then he said to everyone seriously: "Believe me, as long as you strictly implement it, there will be no problems, just 5,000 sets of cold forging heavy armor and 5,000 sets of light armor." ”

"Understood"

It will take at least half a year to make a set of cold forging armor, and the heavy cavalry is destined to be eliminated by history, so in the future, the reputation of the Logo heavy cavalry must be beaten, so that the heavy cavalry can reach a strategic position.

Then he had two special weapons crafted to deal with the heavy armor of the orcs.

The next day, the arsenal began to get busy, and artillery, cannonballs, scimitars, and cold-forged armor were all started one by one.

Now the water conservancy machinery hammering in the factory has replaced the manual hammering, so the workers only need to be responsible for looking at it.

After solving the matter here, Surin also took the time to go to the dock to take a look, and found that the battleship had been completed for the most part, and in another half a year, the Logo battleship would be officially commissioned.

At the same time, the sea passage has also been opened again, and the cargo ships on the sea are constantly coming and going, competing for the current, a prosperous scene.

Since the defeat of Hoto, Carey also paid a large sum of money to ransom the soldiers captured by Muga, and then devoted himself to building the domestic economy.

On this day, he was in the study looking at the letters sent from all over the place, and the chief steward beside him reported the situation: "Your Highness, now the orcs are already fighting a battle with Logo, although it is a temporary victory, but Cass has transferred the army that attacked Buori, and I believe that the number will reach seven or eight hundred thousand." ”

After hearing this, Carey's face was also very calm, and then he asked, "How is Alva now?"

"There's not much news from the church during this time, as if they've disappeared. ”

"When they were defeated, they were heavily in debt, and at least they couldn't do anything about it until they paid it off. ”

Alva Church Headquarters

Urban was in the secret room talking to the members of the church.

Several powerful old men were staring at Urban, and after a while, one of them spoke: "You started this war, but now you have lost, and the huge compensation has pressed us so much that we will not be able to turn over for more than ten years, how should you explain to us?"

"Now the influence of the church in the country is very low, and now it can only barely maintain its rule, and we have to pay back the remaining 230 million gold coins for more than ten years. ”

"During this period, we can't raise the tax rate, otherwise it will cause unrest among the people, and now our church is having a hard time, do you understand?"

In response to these accusations, Urban was also pale, knowing that his position as pope could not be kept, so he took the initiative to say: "This time I was negligent, and I am willing to abdicate." ”

When everyone heard this, no one said anything, and their faces showed satisfied expressions.

"After your abdication, we will elect a new pope, but you still have a mission, now that Loggo is at war with the orcs, we want you to help the orcs and let them raze Loggo to the ground, as for the way, it's entirely up to you, if, before that, we will announce your excommunication. ”

When Urban's hands under the table were clenched into fists when he heard this, he now knew that if he could not complete his task, he would have nothing to do with the church.

Soon after, a shocking news came across the continent that the first deposed pope in the history of the continent was born, and Urban was ousted from the position of pope and excommunicated.

And the follow-up of this incident is just to give people one more thing to talk about.

As a result of the previous agreement, almost all of the coastal cities of Alva now have treaty ports, and there is an endless stream of cargo ships coming from Loggo every day, and spices such as chili pepper flowers are the most popular.

As soon as the cargo ships transporting spices docked, they were surrounded by a large group of merchants, and they immediately began to rush to buy them, and the scene was very hot.

In Logo, artillery and cannonballs are now delivered to the gorge every day to strengthen the defense of the orcs.

Su Lin stood on the city wall, looking at the more than sixty cannons sandwiched on it, and then looking at the dense half-orcs outside, and the confidence in his heart was also a lot more sufficient.

He believed that under such dense firepower, at the speed of a half-orc, he would not be able to escape the range of the artillery at all, and he was destined to be blown to pieces.

At this moment, Gru walked up and reported: "Your Majesty, more than a dozen artillery pieces have been transported over today, where are these artillery pieces arranged?"

Hearing this, Su Lin also looked around, and dared that there was no artillery on the city wall, so he pointed to the back and ordered: "Place the artillery two miles away and establish a second line of defense." ”

"Yes. ”

After making a round, Surin returned to the tent, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Felicia staring at the map carefully, and immediately asked, "Do you see anything suspicious?"

Felicia raised her head and said with a serious face: "Although we are now relying on artillery to temporarily intercept the orcs outside, but our numbers are too different, in case of some accidents, our efforts will be in vain, so we must plan for the worst." ”

Hearing this, Su Lin couldn't help but nodded, in this war, they have always been at a disadvantage, the artillery is not invincible, it still has its flaws, and the half-orcs entered the shooting corner of the artillery, then they are no different from scrap metal.

Thinking of this, he also asked Felicia, "Then do you say there is any way?"

"Now the heyday of our strength is when the cold forging armor is made half a year later, if we can find a way to delay it for another half a year, our chances of winning will be a little greater. Felicia spoke her mind.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but now we rely on ourselves, we can't drag it out any longer, and the orcs can attack at any time, so we can only rely on others. ”

Under Felicia's watchful eye, he began to sit down and write letters to Lance.

At the same time, Cass and other orcs were also discussing how to break through the human defenses, and since they had seen the power of human artillery before, they did not dare to act rashly.

Thrall then spoke: "If we want to break through the human defenses, the first thing we need to do is to attack and destroy those artillery, I have carefully observed that their range is more than 2,000 meters, so we can't fight hard if we want to destroy them." ”

"What you said is the same as what you didn't say, if we don't fight hard, we won't have a chance to get close. ”

"But do you think our soldiers will be able to break through the dense artillery coverage? ”

"Then you mean that you won't attack, so why are we staying here, just go back!"

Cass watched them quarrel again, and immediately slapped the table heavily and shouted: "It's all quiet, Sal is right, we can't fight hard, I've already thought of a way, how many earth dragons do we have left?"

"Patriarch, there is none left?"

"Hmph, when will the army of Nabuori come over, they have more than twenty earth dragons there. ”

"I've already had people send them a message, and it's estimated that it will arrive in a few weeks. ”

"Very good, when the earth dragon arrives, it will be the time for humans to break through the city. ”

After Lance watched the retreat of the 300,000 half-orc army, his hanging heart was also relieved, and they relied on the wall more than six meters high to withstand the crazy passage of the half-orcs.

Although those earth dragons also broke into the city many times, they were easily repelled by Melson and other wizards.

Before the artillery was about to come out, Surin sent hundreds of wizards such as Melson to Buori to defend with Lance, if there was no them, I am afraid that Buori would be really dangerous.

On this day, Bowden was leading a group of knights, closely following the orcs, trying to see if they had really left, or if they had another trajectory.

Although the orcs saw the group of humans and sent soldiers to catch them, as soon as they moved, the group of timid humans ran away, and after many times, they didn't bother to chase them.

Bowden watched them walk towards Logo with confidence, and his heart began to worry about Surin, now that Buori only had 20,000 soldiers, he could only rely on the city wall to defend, and he didn't dare to attack at all, so naturally he couldn't help much.

Just then a soldier came running on horseback, handed over a letter and said, "My lord, Logor has a letter. ”

"Alright, you go down!"

After taking the letter, Bulden's face also changed, and he said secretly: Now you have a problem for me!
