Chapter 29 Rolling
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Xu Yi continued: "If the finances of our Kingdom of Lampari can improve, I don't think the Kingdom of Sark can be our opponent at all, and there is no need to just take back one of the Murto Mountains. It hurts the muscles and bones, and greatly hurts the vitality.”
President Cruise and President Reelsa smiled wryly at the same time.
Of course they understand this truth, especially after seeing the terrifying power of the four magic trebuchets developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they are even more convinced of it.
But they are also very clear that the financial difficulties of the Lampari Kingdom are not for a day or two, and it is easier said than done to improve.
"Actually, it's still very easy." Xu Yi shook his head and said, "You forgot that Bangta City was also very embarrassed a few years ago? Why has it suddenly improved a lot in the past two years?"
President Cruise rolled his eyes at Xu Yi: "President Xu, you don't have to choose this time if you want to boast? Who doesn't know that the changes in our Bangta City are all because of your new flight merchants' association."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I'm not boasting, I just want to remind you. The development of Bangta City is driven by the growth of the magic industry, so why can't the model of Bangta City be extended to the entire Kingdom of Lampari? What? Think about how much the financial revenue of Bangta City increased last year? If the entire Kingdom of Lampari also has such an increase, then the military should not buy four magic trebuchets, even if it buys forty, four hundred are nothing. no problem."
President Cruise continued to smile bitterly: "It's easy for you to say, the problem is that it's not that easy to spread the magic industry to the entire Kingdom of Lampari. You didn't see that it was just in Bangta City. Will there be such a big problem?"
"Lord City Lord, he..." President Reelsa spit out a few words. He smiled bitterly and closed his mouth.
The expressions on his and President Cruise's faces were a little helpless.
As the president of several large chambers of commerce in Bangta City. Of course, they knew better than ordinary civilians the real reason why Earl Stark targeted Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But it is because I know the real reason. Instead, it made them feel even more helpless.
They were all great businessmen, but not great politicians.
At this political level, with their current status, it is impossible for them to get involved.
Even if they express deep injustice to the unfair treatment suffered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the changes before and after Bangta City, they are helpless.
Xu Yi chatted with them about this, of course, not to get actual support from them.
In fact, he just wanted to find out their true attitude.
The veteran ally, President Cruise, needless to say, Xu Yi is mainly in the attitude of President Leelsa.
Because the cooperation between the Renekton Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not as long as the Amley Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the attitude of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce actually represents the attitude of most of the Chambers of Commerce in Bangta City.
It now seems that at 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 nonsense.
After Earl Stark came, he immediately implemented a policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture. The major chambers of commerce in Bangta City suffered direct losses. It is no wonder that the businessmen would like this Earl of Stark.
While a few people were chatting leisurely here, in fact, the battle on the periphery never stopped.
But there's really not much to say about the whole battle.
Although there were more than 5,000 orcs who came by surprise, under the uninterrupted bombardment of four magic trebuchets, this group of orcs only dashed from 500 meters to 200 meters away, and they were already there. The losses were extremely heavy. The formation was beaten to pieces.
And when they saw themselves dashing into a close distance, the four terrifying magic trebuchets finally stopped firing boulders. I was excited about it just now, and when I was about to gather momentum to launch a charge again, I found that there was an overwhelming, dense rain of arrows flying in front of me.
Watching the orcs in the distance fall one after another under the rain of arrows, President Cruise and President Reelsa were speechless again.
The two stared blankly for a while, but couldn't help but turn to Xu Yi together.
President Reelsa said with a wry smile: "President Xu, how did I find out that only the guards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are enough, and the guards of our chambers of commerce are not needed at all."
"That's right, what kind of war are you fighting? It's a total massacre." Seeing that the battle situation was completely unexpectedly relaxed, the nervousness on President Cruise's face gradually faded, and he even made a joke.
"This is a joint action of our four chambers of commerce, can't we let the new flight chamber of commerce contribute?" Xu Yi said with a smile. "Besides, it's always good to be better prepared."
President Reelsa nodded, observed the surrounding battle situation, and then looked at the magic crossbow that almost every human guard of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had in hand, pondered for a moment, and asked, "President Xu, can this thing be sold? Sell?"
"I really want to sell it, but it's a pity that this, like the magic catapult, is a weapon and equipment restricted by the military. Unless the military agrees, we can use it ourselves, but we can't sell it to others." Xu He also shrugged. "Even if I use it myself, it's because of my current status as a viscount and lord, and our New Flying Chamber of Commerce can't use it in name."
President Reelsa didn't look too surprised. Such a powerful armament weapon would of course be subject to special control by the Ministry of Justice.
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.
Seeing a large number of quiver boxes that are half a person's height piled up at the feet of each of the human guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, President Reelsa couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked again: "President Xu, this magic company The crossbow is easy to use, but it is too waste of arrows In terms of feather arrows, this has already used nearly 300 arrows. This consumption... is a bit too high."
Xu Yi shrugged: "War is originally about spending money. In my opinion, spending money is better than dying. Money can be earned again. People can't be resurrected after death."
President Reelsa could only laugh bitterly, looking at the orcs who fell in pieces like reaping wheat under the overwhelming rain of arrows, shook his head and said: "If the military can be as extravagant as you, the Kingdom of Sark I'm afraid we've already been beaten by us."
Xu Yi smiled and did not answer.
The military is as extravagant as him? This is a joke at all.
In order to cope with this joint operation, Xu also dragged out the current wealth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In addition to ensuring the perfect success of this operation, it was also to verify the actual combat effect of these things.
From the current point of view, the effect is excellent, but the accompanying problem is that the consumption is indeed too high.
In order to achieve this effect, if Xu Yi's total investment was converted into gold coins, it would have at least exceeded 30,000 gold coins.
And this is just a contact battle with the rabble orcs. If it is replaced by the kind of battle between the Zhenbei Army and the regular army of the Sark Kingdom, the cost will inevitably increase exponentially.
Major McConley told him that after the battle in the Muerto Mountains, the army could not even get five thousand gold coins, and Xu Yi was not surprised at all.
If you want to crush the enemy with equipment, of course you have to spend money.
When the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce took out the magic repeated crossbow, it meant that the raid of the orcs had completely failed.
A distance of only two hundred meters, to these orcs, it was like a moat, making it impossible for them to cross.
Covered by an almost endless rain of arrows, the orcs who rushed over fell down one after another, and there was no means of resistance at all.
Compared with humans, the orcs have a poor living environment, and it is even more impossible to obtain many sophisticated weapons and be able to resist.
But when Xu Yi used a big killer like the magic trebuchet, and with the support of the magic repeating crossbow, it didn't give the orcs much chance to face each other.
Originally, there were more than 5,000 orcs who were able to break through the rain of arrows and rush into the defense circle. In the end, only a mere 1,000 orcs were there.
And even if there are less than a thousand orcs, all of them are seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.
At this time, the guards of the four major chambers of commerce had already recharged their energy for a long time, and their morale had risen to the peak. After giving the order, they all rushed out like tigers out of the mountains.
The orcs finally got the opportunity to meet with the human guards, but they were horrified to find that the armor they wore was extremely hard, and the weapons were also extremely sharp.
With the difference 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 protection, and most of the weapons were wooden sticks or even stones picked up from somewhere.
Coupled with a high morale, one just received a major blow with low morale, and after the two sides began to engage in close combat, Occupy immediately presented a one-sided situation.
Only ten minutes later, less than a thousand orcs who had finally rushed over had already collapsed, and the remaining hundreds of orcs could not help but turn around and start running away.
However, when they just pulled out a distance, they heard the heart-pounding creaking sound and the sound of boulders breaking through the air.
The four magic trebuchets, which were not put away at all, were activated again, and the boulders fell on the fleeing orcs. Although the formation of the orcs was very evacuated when they were fleeing, the hit rate was not high, but at least half of the fleeing beasts were still killed. People also directly shattered their last trace of fighting spirit.
Seeing the rest of the more than 100 orcs escaping on the dark horizon at the far end of the wasteland, Xu Yi felt a little pity.
If you can equip some war horses, maybe you can let the guards rush over and kill all the remaining more than 100 orcs.
It is a pity that war horses are an extremely scarce resource in the Lampari Kingdom. Even if Xu Yi has a good relationship with the military, it is impossible to equip the guards under the name of his chamber of commerce. (To be continued..)
