Chapter 256 Trimming
What the mages could do was limited to this, and then their energy was transferred to dealing with the strong, and they could no longer support the human army, they could only rely on themselves.

The important factor affecting this war is nothing but fresh weapons and equipment from alchemists and dwarves.

The artillery initially developed by the dwarves has been modified by someone's suggestion, and it can already use shotguns similar to grapeshot. After loading, the effect is no worse than that of many third-level magic. As the former god of war, the effect of the cannon in another world is still Remarkable.

Alchemists in some human city-states have successfully developed some kind of alchemical object similar to explosives, and can add various characteristics to it through magical means, such as scorching hot high-temperature fragments, the effect of blasting in the crowd is very terrible, and even though the horse The vultures can't have absolute air supremacy in the sky, but they still have room to drop a few bombs.

Even with wyverns doing the same job, bombs are far, far better than rocks.

To put it bluntly, the firepower or attack capability of this world has reached a new level, but the hobgoblins, orcs, and even humans and dwarves have not had time to adapt, and they are still using the traditional dense infantry phalanx to fight against the enemy.

For spears, denseness means combat effectiveness and stability, but for gunpowder and alchemy bombs, denseness means lethality. The effect of the former is far less direct than the latter.

In fact, in the past, those mages or warriors could also cause terrible damage to densely packed enemies. They also realized this, but there was no way. If the cold weapon army wanted to maintain its combat effectiveness, it had to be united, otherwise it would be scattered. Sha Neng was easily defeated one by one, so he could only let his own high-level combat power hold back the opponent first. Anyway, similar combat modes only appeared on the mainland in these years. In the past, the strong on the mainland were even stronger. Fighting in this way, the role played by ordinary people is even smaller.

Before the formation was completely disintegrated, the hobgoblins and orcs chose to withdraw from the battlefield decently and left some troops behind. It can be regarded as a relatively reluctant victory for the humans of Oran, because they themselves suffered a lot of losses and did not use those methods. It's really hard to say.

After losing a game, the opponent simply chose to continue to retreat, and prepared to stop the loss in time, and began to send envoys to discuss matters related to the peace with Julia.

It was not a war of annihilation in a broad sense, it was just an extension of politics. The Oran people wanted to effectively solve their own border issues through such a well-prepared short-term war.

After several lengthy wranglings and countless small-scale conflicts, the borderline between the two sides was basically stabilized in the end. Although the human side has a relatively stronger combat power, their limited capabilities do not allow them to go further behind the enemy lines. Both sides are prepared to negotiate peace on the basis of the current boundary.

From the perspective of a war, it came and went quickly, and the final result was that humans retreated slightly from the current occupied area and demolished a small number of strongholds they built on the wasteland. Occupy, and evacuate all these occupied areas, allowing those dwarves in their north to return south to the stronghold of dwarves.

Obviously, some people on both sides are dissatisfied with this kind of peace agreement, but the main leaders of both sides can only accept it. The losses of both sides are not small, and they don't really want to continue the fight.

The hobgoblin decisively withdrew the legion, but that didn't mean the war was over. The murlocs at sea didn't stop harassing and looting the coastline of Oran, and there was no formal diplomacy between the two sides.

In this regard, the Oran people who had freed up their hands were also very straightforward-send all kinds of strong people who can move to the seaside, and rely on their strength to fight a good battle with the murlocs who occupy the advantage of the terrain.

The ocean doesn’t just belong to these creatures. At best, they can be regarded as a powerful bandit organization that is very active in the sea. It’s okay if the Oran people are only distracted from dealing with them. The resources are more than murlocs, not to mention the assistance of races such as mermaids and elves. From the very beginning when humans decided to increase their investment, the balance of war has been tilted.

Although the sahuagin can move freely in the water, humans who have been enchanted can do the same or even better. Humans' attacks and actions regardless of cost have caused the murlocs to retreat steadily. A large number of fortresses and observation points are located on the coastal islands The Internet was built to build a clear and clear defense network.

After all, the purpose of the sahuagin is not to occupy the land, but to find opportunities to plunder the resource population. After a long period of exhaustion, they quickly surrendered, significantly reducing the frequency and depth of harassment, and only occasionally attacking caravans. , which can be regarded as the level of normal piracy, it is difficult to completely ban it, and the cost is too expensive.

After basically solving the murloc problem, the ostensible war was over, but Oran did not end the mobilization. On the contrary, they sent more labor and spellcasters to the newly occupied area to start construction.

It is said that the magic civilizations in ancient times could directly use magic to change the natural environment of a large area without ignoring the water and soil conditions in an extremely unscientific way. Now these mages naturally don't have that kind of ability, but they can still do it with plants to prevent wind and fix sand.

This piece of land bordering humans is not really barren and uninhabitable. After minor repairs, it can exist as a livable area, but the focus is obviously still on the construction of the fortress.

The level of architecture in this world is much stronger than that of the Middle Ages due to magic. A few earth-type shaping magics are thrown down, and a rough fortress has already taken shape. It cannot resist the attack of the army or the strong, but it is more than enough as an observation post. .

The Oran people intend to build another line of defense similar to the standard of the previous fort chain group, so as to consolidate the newly occupied territory. In addition to magic and labor, this also requires a lot of resources, such as steel, mechanical equipment, and parts. It can be dismantled from the old fortress and recycled, but the main body still needs to be made new, and the Oran people's own production capacity cannot handle it in a short time. At this time, Karak Solma can play a role again. Meeting Tang Zhao can make a lot of money from it.

However, he is not going to observe this process personally, because the injury is too serious, and he needs to directly recover from the injury through evolution.

Similar things have happened many times. There is already a relatively complete system in the city that can operate independently, and there is no need for him to talk about other things. He simply ordered a few words, and he began to dig the chrysalis chamber again and entered it. Prepare to sleep evolution.
