Chapter 99

“How do they do that? Isn't there only 500 orcs? Where did they get so many ballistas? Why are there fires so intense? ” Commander thinks in his heart.

Just a moment ago he had witnessed the fierce flames from the giant bow of arrows. He estimated that Xiao Yu had at least hundreds of ballistas to be able to form such a formidable fire. But, Xiao Yu only had 500 orcs. How could he continuously fire a spear?

Originally, the commander thought that he would be able to kill all Orcs by relying on a ten-man formation. However, he did not expect to be defeated and rejected in such a manner.

His network was not so developed that they could tell Xiao Yu had bought a ballista in the city of Tito. Moreover, the purchased ballista was covered with cloth so most people did not even know what it was. In addition, scouts, spies, and assassins were all captured and killed by Tyrande and Leah. As a result, they did not have any information regarding the new war machine that Xiao Yu had purchased.

Even if they found out that Xiao Yu bought a ballista from Warhammer company, they would think that he was planning to bring them back to Lion city. They did not think that Xiao Yu would be able to use it brilliantly to fight the enemy. In this era, only extremely powerful magic items could play a dominant rule in such warfare. Ballista will be useless in the hands of others. They would not be able to use it like Xiao Yu. First of all, the intensive shooting mentality was brought forward by Xiao Yu. Secondly, Orcs were strong enough to use a large bow like ordinary weapons.

In addition, the average ballista has a maximum of 3 slots to shoot at the same time. It was meant for better accuracy. However, Xiao Yu had ordered a ballista made with 5 slots. It was not meant for precision but covered a better perimeter. These ideas are already colliding with the human military strategy on the continent.

Imagine when the machine gun was invented by Maxim and Gatling. Maxim did not take orders until World War I. However, it became the biggest killer in the war. Because of machine guns, tens of millions of people were killed that had never been seen before in any war in history.

Even people at that time did not realize the importance of machine guns that would be brought to war. How could people in this era understand the ballista 5 slots?

Xiao Yu ordered the Orcs to enter and take the spear. Although they were enough to use with the ballista but he wanted to take the used ones. The enemy did not send anyone to attack as the Orcs rushed in to retrieve the spear. They were feared by another trick by Xiao Yu.

They were first trapped when they thought the hand ax was up. They do not want to repeat the same mistake. The battle was dragged once again.

…

…

Xiao Yu ordered some Orcs to stay on patrol while the rest rest rested and slept. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to stand still because they would be tired.

The order almost spewed blood when he learned that even the patrolling orcs were laughing and chatting! That is an insult!

However, he could do nothing in the face of this humiliation. He did not dare to charge or he would face the same result.

They were not in Kahn's country so they could not freely mobilize the army. They are in the territory of others who are already a big risk. Once they are discovered then the conflict between the two kingdoms will arise. Although they did not have flags and banners and disguised as bandits, but that did not mean that others were stupid! Couldn't they see that they were all elite cavalry units? Have you seen elite bandits?

Retreating? That's not an option either. Duke Simm has always been strict on his troops. If they return then even their families will be killed. They could only die on the battlefield but could not return with failure. It was the character of Duke Simm.

Pull battles? How could they drag the battle because they were in someone else's territory? Moreover, they had to return to the city of Tito to eat after a few days. Xiao Yu could blatantly stay here since he was a noble who crossed a territory. He could only make camp and take time to rest as long as he wanted. But once their troops are found then they will be attacked.

The commander is in paradox. By the time he accepted the task, he felt that he would have a chance to show his commanding ability and courage! He planned to use the head of the orc as a decoration on his family wall to bring glory and fame to it.

But as elite soldiers, they had no chance to show their strength. Xiao Yu's plan had left them disabled. They did not fight on the plane plains so they had no chance to attack.

This is called tactics and strategy!

The commander was aware of the mood of Lancelot who was the commander of the Grim Reaper troops.

“The Duke of the Lion region is really great! I look down at him ..." Commander whispering. His heart also calmed down because he knew that he would not be able to return alive. Since the result was death, then what was there to fear?

The Grim Reapers experienced the same. The commander was convinced that he had lost.

“Wait until late at night! We will launch our final attack! The death of the Grim Reaper troops was not in vain. We will prove our honor and glory tonight as an elite cavalry squad!” commander said.

The cavalrymen who were listening knew that they had no way out. There was only one chance and it was the shame of defeat with their own blood.

Xiao Yu immediately knew their thoughts when he saw that the enemy would not attack. He told all the Orcs to sleep while only a few were left to patrol at night.

Leah and Tyrande patrolled with some orcs. Tyrande Eagle Eyes skill plays a big role at night because he has night vision and can see very far away. The enemy cannot escape his eyes. Xiao Yu invited Siwen into his compartment to play chess. In the past, Siwen would definitely avoid Xiao Yu as much as possible. However, after the last experience his attitude towards Xiao Yu had changed a lot. Siwen is very intelligent but has low self-esteem due to the way he was raised.

Now, Siwen did not think of any problems. Xiao Yu played chess while occasionally peeking at his thighs. As a result, he lost continuously.

The enemy does not attack in the early hours of the morning, which indicates that they are waiting for something. Xiao Yu speculated that they were waiting for the darkest moment to attack. Most likely, the enemy would attack a few hours before dawn. Xiao Yu believed that the commander of the enemy forces was not a fool. However, Xiao Yu could not be fooled by this kind of psychological tactic.

It was a few hours before dawn. It seemed like the entire world was covered in a huge black cloth. Siwen fell asleep on the carriage while Xiao Yu sat down at the side.

Tyrande came to the carriage and looked at Xiao Yu: "They came."
