Unlike Xu Yi, everyone else was extremely satisfied with the outcome, even shocked and unable to believe it.
By any conventional reckoning, more than five thousand Beastmen facing fewer than two thousand human warriors should have held an overwhelming advantage, even with two hundred elf warriors and three hundred dwarf warriors added to the opposing side.
Even if the Beastmen's lack of suitable weapons and equipment narrowed the gap in fighting strength somewhat, they should still have enjoyed an enormous advantage.
Yet the outcome before them was that only a hundred or so of those five thousand Beastmen had escaped. Almost all the rest had been wiped out.
Their own side, meanwhile, had suffered only three seriously wounded human guards during the final melee and a hundred or so with minor injuries. Not a single person had died!
If they described this outcome to anyone who had not witnessed the battle, no one would believe it. Even those who had experienced it themselves could scarcely believe it.
Everyone first raised their heads to look up at the four Magic-Powered Stone Throwers. They all knew that these four machines deserved the greatest credit for such a victory.
The old-fashioned stone throwers previously used by armies could never have served this defensive role. Their firing rate was so low that launching one or two stones during a Beastman charge would have been considered good.
These Magic-Powered Stone Throwers, however, launched a boulder in less than half a minute on average. Their range also far exceeded that of old-fashioned stone throwers, reaching a terrifying five hundred meters. The charging Beastmen came under fire while still far away, and each machine launched nearly ten boulders over the course of the battle, completely changing its outcome.
The next greatest contribution came from the Magic Repeating
