President Leersa did not dwell too much on the issue of escorts, and quickly turned the topic to the target of their operation.
Xu Yike was not good at this kind of problem at all, and he didn't care much about it. Thinking that he might stay up late at night, he simply got back into the carriage and had a good sleep.
The convoy did not stop when passing by the Worrall werewolf tribe, but went directly to the predetermined location.
By the time the convoy stopped at the predetermined location, it was already dark.
Xu Yi jumped off the carriage and waved to several commanders of his escort team to inquire about the situation.
However, these three people said that they did not find anything unusual, so Xu Yi could only wave his hand and let them continue to be more vigilant.
It was already entering the night, and it was impossible to completely build the camp. The convoy simply gathered together to form a simple camp, and planned to spend the night here.
It was already approaching the end of October, and there was no cover in the black rice wasteland. After entering the night, the surrounding air seemed a bit cold.
Xu Yi wrinkled his nose and couldn't help but sigh: "If it were me, my first choice at this time would be to go home and sleep well, so that I wouldn't be like these idiot orcs who have to come here to do such hard work in such a cold night, maybe It will cost you your life.”
President Leersa on the side laughed loudly: "The orcs have lived in such a difficult environment since childhood, and they are not as delicate as you, President Xu. Of course, it is indeed their fault to come here and die for nothing. But who What if they insist on trying to influence us?"
"That is to say, you said it would be great to learn from the orc tribes in Woller and cooperate with us honestly, make money, and be relaxed and comfortable. Why bother yourself?" Xu Yi sighed.
"It's a pity that you think it's cooperation, but in the eyes of orc racists like the Orc Independent Legion, it's us humans who want to corrupt the orcs. That's why they shout slogans to resist.
Xu Yi sneered: "Corruption? Do they mean that the orcs deserve to have no clothes to wear, not enough food to eat, and have to live in a drafty house to suffer? I don't think any orc with any brains will listen to this. Such nonsense."
"To disappoint you, there are quite a few orcs who agree with their point of view. According to the estimates given by the intelligence, we may face a number of orcs tonight that far exceeds our imagination."
"The mob is not worth mentioning." Xu Yi curled his lips with disdain on his face.
The last time he was attacked by this independent orc army, Xu Yi was not fully prepared, so in the end he had to rely on himself to stabilize the situation.
But this time he came prepared, and Xu Yi was confident that no matter how many orcs came, they would never be able to do anything to him.
The first night was uneventful, but as soon as it entered late at night, when the night was darkest, abnormalities immediately appeared.
Looking at the large black shadow on the horizon in the distance. Feeling the constant vibrations from the ground, President Cruise's expression immediately changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "Oh no, there are too many people, right?"
Xu Yi and President Leersa looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"It's okay. It's not too unexpected." Xu Yi waved his hand, and behind him, the human guard leader Hart, the dwarf warrior leader Omar, and the elf warrior leader Fario all took a step forward. "Do as planned. I will not interfere with your specific command, but I have only one request."
Seeing the three people staring at him solemnly, Xu Yi waved his arm hard and said in a deep voice: "Destroy them with all your strength! Completely defeat the fighting spirit of these damn orcs! Let them never do it again!" Don’t you dare have any thoughts of resistance! Do you understand?”
Hart and Omar responded with a bang, while Fario saluted Xu Yi solemnly, and then the three of them retreated.
President Leersa on the side laughed and said: "President Xu, that's well said! We just want to beat these damn guys in pain and let them know that they'd better not come after us in the future to avoid future troubles!" "
After saying that, Leersa immediately issued an order to the guard captain of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce.
President Cruz saw the two people fighting and worshiping each other and boiling with murderous intent. He shook his head helplessly and summoned the guard captain of his Amri Chamber of Commerce and the captain who was not here today because of something else. Therefore, the guard captain of the Armani Chamber of Commerce who was entrusted to his command, after a few words of explanation, asked the guards of the two chambers of commerce to take action.
This joint operation of the four chambers of commerce used almost all the strength of the escort teams of the four chambers of commerce. In total, there were a total of 1,500 human warriors, as well as 200 elven warriors and 300 dwarf warriors.
If placed under normal circumstances. This combat power will definitely make everyone look at him.
However, the number of orcs who came tonight, lured by the bait deliberately released by the four chambers of commerce, clearly far exceeded the number of orcs who came to attack last time.
A cursory look at the night revealed that the number of orcs attacking this time probably exceeded five thousand at least.
However, facing a far larger number of enemies than last time, President Cruise still had a worried expression on his face, but he was far less panicked than last time, and he even had the time to complain to Xu Yi.
"If we had known that so many orcs would come back this time, we should have made more preparations."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this preparation is enough, just watch."
While the two were talking, the orcs who rushed forward had already entered a distance of no more than 500 meters from the camp.
Xu Yi shouted softly: "Prepare the trebuchet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several pieces of cloth being lifted up in the convoy camp, and then heard a crisp sound of mechanical startup, four dazzling magic arrays started to flash, and four magic trebuchets counted their breaths. Then it stretched out from the state of being folded and compressed into a ball before, and became a complete body.
"Listen to my order, one, two, three... let go!" This time it was not Xu Yi who shouted, but Hart.
With a command, four boulders nearly half a meter in diameter roared out from the magic trebuchet. After a moment, they flew over a distance of more than 400 meters and fell directly into the charging orc formation.
The boulder carried the huge impact of a magic trebuchet, and hit it hard. There was a loud thunder-like sound, and a large crater of nearly ten meters was made directly on the ground of the Black Rice Wasteland.
The orcs who were directly hit by the boulder had no chance of surviving. Even if the orcs who were affected nearby were not killed on the spot, they were shocked by the huge shock wave and their orifices spurted blood, and they instantly lost their combat effectiveness.
However, these four boulders were just the beginning. After launching the first batch of four boulders, only half a minute later, the four magic trebuchets launched four boulders again, ruthlessly smashing into the formation of the orcs rushing over. , brought about a bloody storm.
Seeing the terrifying power of the magic trebuchet with their own eyes, President Leersa and President Cruz could not help but widen their eyes in shock.
President Leersa couldn't help but exclaimed: "This magic trebuchet is really so terrifying. No wonder the Zhenbei Army was able to easily defeat the Sac Kingdom's camp and the Muerto Mountains with just three magic trebuchets. If the Zhenbei Army can get a few more units or even dozens more, I'm afraid the Sak Kingdom won't be able to withstand the Zhenbei Army's offensive. Even the capital will be directly captured by the Zhenbei Army, right?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "That's impossible. Although this magic trebuchet is very powerful, its shortcomings are also obvious. First of all, it is not flexible enough. It is only useful in positional warfare. Once it encounters flexibility or assault, It won't work against fast opponents. It's okay to deal with these stupid orcs, but if it is used against the Sark Kingdom, it will probably be dispersed by the Sark Kingdom's cavalry."
"Well, this is indeed a problem." President Leersa nodded. "This thing is indeed very good for attacking difficulties, but its usefulness is limited when it comes to defense. So besides not being flexible enough, what are the shortcomings?"
"In addition, this shortcoming is actually more fatal than lack of flexibility. Our Chamber of Commerce can overcome this shortcoming of flexibility in the future by increasing the mobility of the magic trebuchet, but this shortcoming is something that our Chamber of Commerce cannot solve." Xu Yidao.
"Oh? What shortcomings can't even your Chamber of Commerce overcome?" President Cruz couldn't help but interjected curiously.
"That's expensive." Xu Yi smiled bitterly, pointing to the magic trebuchet behind him that had stopped the first round of firing and started to reload boulders, but it was obvious that there would be no more chance of firing: "The second round we developed The first version of the magic trebuchet, that is, the magic trebuchet for the Zhenbei Army, costs at least one thousand gold coins. Although the current new version of the magic trebuchet has a faster rate of fire and better quality, the cost is also higher. A lot, reaching 1,300 gold coins.”
"That can't be considered expensive." As the presidents of two large chambers of commerce, neither President Cruz nor President Relsa thought that a mere thousand gold coins was nothing. "For such a powerful weapon, let alone 1,300 gold coins, even if it is 3,100 gold coins, countless people will still rush to buy it."
"That's right, I'm worried that if you use it so blatantly, it will attract the attention of other countries." President Cruz said worriedly.
"They will notice sooner or later." Xu Yi shrugged, not caring much about this. "As for you don't think it's expensive, that's because you all have money. But unfortunately, our kingdom's military department is really terribly poor. In fact, these four magic trebuchets were originally built to be sold to the military department. As a result, the military department But the military department told me that because they spent too much money in the battle for the Muerto Mountains, now the military department can't even get out a mere five thousand gold coins. I feel that I am idle anyway, and this happened to me. Action, just drag it over and try it yourself.”
President Cruz and President Relsa looked at each other, speechless at the same time.
Although they were aware of the kingdom's financial difficulties, they did not expect that the mighty kingdom's military headquarters did not even have a mere five thousand gold coins. This was really a bit too shabby.
