No matter what, they could not replicate steel and crossbows, and the quantity they could plunder from the mercenaries who bought crossbows out of their own pockets was extremely limited. The orcs had no choice but to try the "old method" - reaching out to the corrupt members of the Lapland Arsenal to see if those slick guys could help and get a batch of those high-performance crossbows, but they were disappointed once again.
Whether it was Lapland, Charlemagne and Ceres, or Castile and Albion, no human country's army has ever been equipped with crossbows produced by the V.E Company.
The orc who went to negotiate business grabbed the collar of those rotting members, roaring almost tearfully "Why?", the answer he got from the humans who were almost choked to death left them speechless.
The truth was one — the armies refused to purchase because those crossbows were too expensive.
