Compared to Xu Yi, the others were very satisfied with this result. They were even shocked and filled with disbelief.
According to common sense, five thousand beastmen facing less than two thousand human warriors, even if there were two hundred elven warriors and three hundred dwarven warriors, it would be a crushing situation.
Even if the beastmen didn't have suitable equipment and the difference in battle strength was reduced, it was still a large advantage.
However, the result in front of everyone was that only a hundred of the five thousand beastmen had escaped and the rest had been wiped out.
On their side, there were only three human guards who were heavily injured in the final clash and a hundred people who were lightly injured, there wasn't even a single one who died!
This kind of result, if someone who hadn't personally experienced this battle heard it, no one would believe it. Even those who had personally experienced this battle didn't dare believe it.
Everyone first looked up at the four Magic Trebuchets. Everyone was very clear that the biggest reason for this result was the four Magic Trebuchets.
If it was the old trebuchets the army used before, it was impossible to use them for defense because the old trebuchets had a very low firing frequency. It was already good enough that they could fire one or two rocks during the beastmen's charge.
But this Magic Trebuchet could shoot out a giant rock in less than half a minute and its range far surpassed the old Magic Trebuchet, reaching a terrifying five hundred meters. The beastmen charging over were attacked by the Magic Trebuchet from far away and it had shot out close to ten giant rocks, completely changing the situation of the battle.
The second contributor was the Magic Repeating Crossbows in the hands of the New Flyer human guards.
These magic repeating crossbows were extremely fast and easy to fire. All one had to do was install the arrow box, aim it, and press the switch. The twenty arrows in the box would all be shot out in half a minute.
What was even more excessive was that because the arrows fired by the Magic Array in the Magic Repeating Crossbow, their firing speed and range were much higher than normal arrows.
One magic repeating crossbow might not be a big deal, but when five hundred human guards each held a magic repeating crossbow and were equipped with enough arrow boxes, the power of five hundred magic repeating crossbows firing at the same time could not be described as terrifying.
If it was said that the four Magic Trebuchets played a decisive role in destroying the formation of the five thousand beastmen, then the rain of arrows from the Magic Repeating Crossbows was the greatest contribution to killing the beastmen.
In the end, the reason why the guards of the four merchant guilds had suffered so few casualties was due to the quality of the weapons and armor provided by New Flyer.
According to the evaluations of many veteran guards, the quality of the weapons and armors obtained from New Flyer this time was even better than the weapons and armors made by the best blacksmiths they had ever used.
Therefore, in conclusion, with such a great disparity in strength, it resulted in a result that no one dared to believe. It was entirely because the difference in armaments between the two sides was too great.
But even after creating this shocking result, Xu Yi who was the most important person in creating this result was still knitting his brows, as if he wasn't satisfied.
Chairman Cruz and chairman Renersa couldn't help curiously asking Xu Yi why he wasn't satisfied. Xu Yi thought about it before replying, "My idea was to kill these beastmen before they could approach us, but I never thought that there would be over a thousand beastmen charging over in the end.
If there were more, it wouldn't be that easy to deal with them. "
The two rolled their eyes at Xu Yi.
Kill them all before the Orcs even get close to us?
How was that possible? The beastmen weren't idiots, would they just stand there and let you kill them?
Seeing the looks of disbelief on their faces, Xu Yi looked at the two of them with a look of disdain.
Humph, these fellows who haven't seen the world.
If they knew that Earth's army could eliminate enemies from thousands of kilometers away, wouldn't they faint from fright?
With the battle ending and such a shocking result, it also meant that the four companies' joint operation was a great success.
This time, the reason why he spent so much effort to set up the bait and purposely brought a large pile of goods into the Black Rice Wasteland was to lure out the Beastmen Independent Legion who still held strong hostility towards humans. Then, he would give them a heavy blow and resolve the troubles that the four companies might encounter here.
He believed that after the powerful battle strength of the four companies, there shouldn't be any blind beastmen who would take the initiative to provoke the four companies. Therefore, the factories and bases established by the four companies would be much safer.
Naturally, to Xu Yi, the best way to obtain peace wasn't to kill, but to cooperate.
As long as the beastmen in the Black Rice Wasteland knew that they could only obtain a better life by cooperating with humans, then there wouldn't be any more beastmen who would find trouble with the human companies.
However, most beastmen believed in the strong. Only by displaying their strength would the four companies be able to smoothly invest in the Black Rice Wasteland. Therefore, Xu Yi didn't mind displaying his most powerful battle strength in this operation and planned to crush the resistance of the beastmen in one fell swoop.
Reality proved that the results were not bad.
In the next few days, the four companies' joint caravans began to officially set up camp here and began to construct their bases. There weren't any blind beastmen who dared to have any thoughts about this place. The four beastmen tribes that had agreed to cooperate with the four companies even sent their beastmen to help the workers construct their bases.
After all, after witnessing the changes in the Voller wolfman tribe, these beastmen were filled with longing and expectation for this kind of life. They also wanted to have a good life where they could eat their fill and have clothes to wear.
When this place that was over fifty kilometers deep in the Black Rice Wasteland was being built, Xu Yi left this place. He went to the Voller Tribe's mines and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's non-ferrous metal smelting factory to investigate.
The mine was already operating normally and could currently mine 20 tons of non-ferrous metal ores every day, so there wasn't much to worry about.
However, the non-ferrous metal smelting factory met with an obstacle.
Although smelting non-ferrous metals looked similar to smelting steel on the surface, the actual operation was much worse.
Xu Yi didn't specialize in smelting non-ferrous metals, so he could only give some suggestions based on his experience in designing non-ferrous metal smelting machines on earth. As for the rest of the details, he had to rely on the workers of this factory to figure it out themselves.
Fortunately, New Flyer might lack other things, but the dwarves who were proficient in mining and smelting were not lacking.
When Xu Yi opened this non-ferrous metal smelting factory, he directly transferred close to 300 dwarven workers and 500 human workers who had experience working in the Falling Rain Valley as support. This allowed this non-ferrous metal smelting factory to speed up the research and production progress.
Although the non-ferrous metal smelting wasn't completely researched yet, under the hard work of these experienced dwarven craftsmen, the progress was very fast. It was believed that by the beginning of next year, they could successfully smelt aluminum, lead, tin, tungsten, and other non-ferrous metals according to Xu Yi's requirements.
If this non-ferrous metal smelting factory could successfully complete the smelting research, not only would it mean that New Flyer would have a large amount of non-ferrous metals to use in the future, it would also speed up the research of materials and enrich the product line. There was also a very important strategic meaning, which was that they could cooperate with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce on the non-ferrous metal mines in the Lampari Kingdom.
According to the dwarves' exploration, the Lampari Kingdom wasn't particularly rich in iron ore. Instead, it was rich in non-ferrous metals.
For modern industry, steel was the most important industrial material, but non-ferrous metals were also indispensable. Moreover, they weren't as easy to find as iron ore.
Therefore, from this aspect, the Lampari Kingdom had a unique advantage.
Of course, these were all long-term considerations.
For now, the New Flyer's investment in the Voller Tribe's mine and non-ferrous metal smelting factory was only a net investment. They couldn't produce any profits for the time being.
However, Xu Yi wasn't in a hurry. Establishing a magic machine industrial system was a huge project and couldn't be rushed.
As a mechanical engineer, he had far more patience than others.
Not to mention that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's current operating situation was quite good. Because of the popularity of the magic machines, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's profits were increasing each month. Although the investment cost was large, with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's current financial situation, it was very easy to deal with.
The only problem was the Lampari Kingdom's internal politics.
For this, Xu Yi couldn't do anything for now.
Although he could barely enter the ranks of nobles in the Lampari Kingdom, he was still far from being able to decide the high level political situation of the Lampari Kingdom.
Of course, this didn't mean that he couldn't give Seveni any support.
On the contrary, his support was very large.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi revealed a confident smile.
If the Lampari Kingdom hadn't tasted the sweetness before, he wouldn't be able to affect it. But this time, the army headquarters had tasted the sweetness of an easy victory in the battle for the Muerto Mountains. Xu Yi didn't believe that they wouldn't do anything about it.
