Chapter 29 Rolling
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Xu Yixu said: "If the finances of our Lampari Kingdom can improve, I think the Sak Kingdom cannot be our opponent at all. There is no need to just regain a Murto Mountain Range, which will hurt your muscles and energy."
President Cruise and President Reelsa smiled bitterly at the same time.
Of course they understood this principle, especially after seeing the terrifying power of the four magic trenchers developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they believed it unquestionably.
But they also knew very well that the financial difficulties of the Lampari Kingdom were not in one or two days, so it was not easy to improve.
"Actually it's still very easy." Xu Yi shook his head and said, "You forgot 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 gave Xu Yi a blank look: "President Xu, you don't have to pick on this time if you want to boast, right? Who doesn't know that the changes in our Bangta City are all because of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce that have driven development."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I am not just bragging about myself, I just want to remind you. The development of Bangta City was driven by the development and growth of the magic industry. So why can't the Bangta City model be promoted to the entire Lampari Kingdom? Think about how much fiscal revenue in Bangta City increased last year? If the entire Lampari Kingdom also had such growth, then the military headquarters would not say that they would buy four magic trench machines, even if they bought forty, there would be no problem with 40."
President Cruise continued to smile bitterly: "It's easy for you to say it. The problem is that it's not that easy to promote the magic industry to the entire Kingdom of Lampari. If you don't see it, you will encounter such a big problem if you don't see it alone in Bonta?"
"Master Lord..." President Reelsa smiled bitterly and closed his mouth after he uttered a few words.
The expressions on his faces and President Cruise were a little helpless.
As the presidents of several large chambers of commerce in Bonta City, they certainly have a better idea of the real reason why Earl Stark targeted Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than ordinary civilians.
But because they know this real reason, they feel even more helpless.
They are all excellent businessmen, but not excellent politicians.
With their current status, it is impossible for them to interfere in such political affairs.
Even though they were deeply unfair to the unfair treatment suffered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the changes that came before and after Bonta City, they were helpless.
Xu Yi talked about this with them, of course he did not want to get actual support from them.
In fact, he just wanted to find out their true attitude.
Needless to say, the veteran ally President Cruise, Xu Yi mainly takes the attitude of President Reelsa.
Because the cooperation between the Rekton Chamber of Commerce and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is not as long as the Amley Chamber of Commerce and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has been working together for as long as possible. Therefore, the attitude of the Rekton Chamber of Commerce actually represents the attitude of most chambers of commerce in Bonta City.
Now it seems that at least most chambers of commerce in Bonta City should support the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and are dissatisfied with Earl of Stark.
Actually, this is nonsense.
After Earl Stark came, he immediately implemented a policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture. All major chambers of commerce in Bonta City suffered direct losses. It would be strange if merchants liked this Earl Stark.
While the few people were chatting leisurely here, the battle on the outside never stopped.
But there is actually not much to say about the entire battle situation.
Although the orcs who raided over 5,000, under the continuous bombardment of four magic trenchers, the orcs suffered extremely heavy losses only from 500 meters to 200 meters away. The formation was even more defeated.
When they saw themselves breaking into close range, the four terrifying magic trenchers finally stopped firing out huge rocks. They were just excited about it and were about to pluck up their momentum to launch a charge again, but found a rain of arrows flying towards them, densely packed with arrows that could not be avoided.
Seeing the orcs in the distance pounced on the rain of arrows, President Cruz and President Reelsa were speechless again.
The two of them looked blankly for a while, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xu Yi together.
President Reelsa smiled bitterly and said, "President Xu, why did I find out that it is enough that you only need the guards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to come. There is no need for the guards of our several chambers of commerce to take action."
"That's right, you're not a war, it's a total massacre." Seeing that the situation of the war was completely unpredictable, the nervous look 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. We can't let our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce work together, right?" Xu Yi smiled. "Besides, it's always good to prepare more properly."
President Reelsa nodded, observed the situation of the external war, and then looked at the magic crossbows where almost everyone in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had a magic crossbow. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "President Xu, is this thing sold?"
"I really want to sell it, but unfortunately, like the magic trencher, it is a weapon and equipment restricted by the military headquarters. Unless the military headquarters agrees, we can use it ourselves, but we cannot sell it to others." Xu Yi shrugged. "Even if I use it myself, it is because of my current identity as a viscount and a lord, but our New Air Chamber of Commerce is not nominally use it."
President Reelsa did not look too surprised. Such powerful military weapons will of course be subject to special control by the King's Ministry.
Otherwise, if it falls into other countries, such as the Kingdom of Sak, it will in turn pose a threat to the Kingdom of Lampari.
Seeing each of the human guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce piled up a large number of arrow boxes half a person's height at their feet, President Reelsa couldn't help but frown and asked again: "President Xu, this magic crossbow is easy to use, but it's too wasteful of arrow branches, right? I see that just a few moments of time, a guard has used more than a dozen arrow boxes. According to the 20 feather arrows you mentioned, this has been used nearly three hundred. This consumption... is a bit too high."
Xu Yi shrugged: "War is a money-consuming thing. In my opinion, spending money is better than dead people. You can make money again if you lose money, and you can't be resurrected if you die."
President Relsa could only smile bitterly, and looked at the orcs who fell in pieces like harvesting wheat under the overwhelming rain of arrows, shook his head and said, "If the military headquarters could be as luxurious as you, the Kingdom of Saks would have been flattened by us."
Xu Yi smiled and did not answer.
The military headquarters is as luxurious as him? This is a joke.
In order to cope with this joint operation, Xu Yi dragged out all the current assets of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In addition to ensuring that this operation can be successful, it is also to verify the practical effect of these things.
From the moment, the effect is excellent, but the accompanying problem is that the consumption is indeed too high.
In order to achieve this current effect, if Xu Yi's total investment is converted into gold coins, it will have at least exceeded 30,000 gold coins.
And this was just a contact battle with orcs like the mob. If it were the kind of battle between the Zhenbei Army and the regular army of the Sak Kingdom, the cost would inevitably increase significantly.
Major Maconley told him that after passing the battle in the Murto Mountains, the military could not even take out five thousand gold coins, and Xu Yi was not surprised at all.
Of course, it costs money to crush the enemy with equipment.
The moment the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took out the magic crossbow, it means that the orc raid had completely failed.
The distance of only two hundred meters was like a natural barrier for these orcs, which made them unable to cross.
Covered by almost endless rain of arrows, the orcs rushing over fell one after another, and there was no means of resistance.
Compared with humans, the orcs have no living environment, and it is even more impossible to obtain many excellent weapons and be able to resist. They rely entirely on their own strength to gain an absolute advantage when fighting against humans.
However, when Xu Yi used a magic trencher, and with the support of the magic crossbow, he did not give the orcs many opportunities to fight in close combat.
The orcs who were originally over 5,000 were able to break through the arrow rain and rush into the defense circle, but in the end there were only less than a thousand.
Moreover, even these less than a thousand orcs were seriously injured and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
At this time, the guards of the four chambers of commerce had already been raising their energy for a long time, and their morale had increased to the peak. After giving the order, they all rushed out like tigers.
The orcs finally got the opportunity to fight with the human guards, but were horrified to find that the armor worn by these human guards was extremely hard and their weapons were also extremely sharp.
With the gap in weapons and equipment, the combat power of human guards instantly reached an extremely close distance from the orcs who had no armor protection, and most of the weapons were picked up from somewhere, and even stones.
In addition, one has high morale, while the other has just received a major blow and his morale is low. After the two sides began to fight in close combat, the occupation suddenly showed a one-sided situation.
But after about ten minutes, less than a thousand orcs who finally rushed over had already fallen down. Seeing that the situation was not good, hundreds of orcs finally couldn't help but turn around and start running away.
However, after they took out a distance, they heard the heart-pounding creaking sound and the sound of a huge rock breaking through the air.
The four magic trenchers that were not put away at all were activated again. The huge rocks fell to the orcs who fled everywhere. Although the formation of the orcs was very evacuated when they fled, the hit rate was not high, they still killed at least half of the orcs who fled, and also smashed their last trace of fighting spirit directly.
Xu Yi felt a little regretful when he watched the remaining talk about more than a hundred orcs escaping on the dark horizon at the far end of the wasteland.
If some war horses could be equipped, the guards might be able to rush over and kill all the remaining more than 100 orcs, which would be a disaster.
Unfortunately, war horses are extremely scarce resources in the Kingdom of Lampari. No matter how good Xu Yi has a relationship with the military headquarters, it is impossible to equip the guards under the name of his chamber of commerce. (To be continued...)
