Chapter 101

The scouts noticed Xiao Yu's arrival when they were about 20 miles away from the Lion town. They reported back to Housekeeper Hong and Captain Hui who had come out to meet them at the gate of the Lion town.

They were all looking for Siwen instead of Xiao Yu. Because he is the key to this journey. Xiao Yu's goal was to bring him back. The other brother-in-law went towards Siwen and Xiao Yu when they saw them get off the carriage. Housekeeper Hong and Captain Hui were delighted when they saw him return as well. It meant that the Lion town was rising and no one dared to look down on the Lion town so that he could bring Siwen back.

Xiao Yu opened his hands as he waited for the brothers-in-law to hug him but found that they were passing by his side to hug Siwen. He looked like a silly idiot with a stiff smile on his face as he stood still with open arms.

"You've done a great job bringing him back." Camilla pinched Xiao Yu's cheek as a gift.

"You are a real man." The second brother-in-law whispered to Xiao Yu.

"I will clear the previous complaint because you can bring back Siwen" Suesha said. When he meant the previous complaint he was referring to Xiao Yu's shameless peeping act.

“Xiao Yu, you really brought Siwen back! You deserve to be a descendant of the Xiao family!” First brother-in-law Qiyen hugged Xiao Yu. His injured pride was made with this small step.

…

…

The residents also welcomed warmly. Xiao Yu waved at the people as his carriage went into the city. He observed the changes in the Lion town as well.

There were not many people in the Lion town when he left. However, right now there was even a formation of 1000 guards who had greeted him in the city. The Lion City has undergone many changes.

…

…

Returning to the mansion, Xiao Yu sent Siwen with the other brothers-in-law while he started listening to the report made by Housekeeper Hong and Captain Hui about the development of the Lion town.

Housekeeper Hong and Captain Hui were both cheerful as the huge change in the Lion town also made them happy.

The population of the Lion region has reached more than 150,000 people. The number of soldiers is about 10,000. Captain Hui said that he did not dare to recruit more soldiers because they did not have a general who could manage such a large force. Otherwise, they could increase the number of soldiers to 30,000. Due to the implementation of Xiao Yu's policies many men wanted to gain glory and wealth for their families and join the army. They were not worried about their families even if they died in battle.

The Lion territory was much better than other regions for military and peasant service. The tax officer will not come to knock on people's doors every day to collect taxes. Moreover, they also did not have to worry about renting the land. The farmers only paid for labor and could sell their corps. In addition, a farmer can use unused land for free for several years without paying taxes. New migrants live better in the Lion region than in their old villages.

At first, Housekeeper Hong was strongly against and opposed to the implementation of the policy. But he was relieved to see the Lion territory increasing and expanding so quickly. In his mind, the land would be restored after a few years so there was no harm in them not collecting taxes for several years. It was like an investment move from his point of view.

The Qin soldiers were bloodthirsty in the war after Shang Yang came up with the military service award policy.

Xiao Yu knew that he could become invincible if he rewarded the farmers and soldiers. These peasants and soldiers would die for him if they wanted to defend their land and their families. It is the impact of thinking from a better world.

Moreover, Xiao Yu asked about the situation in Carrie's father's territory. He believed that Solomon was still watching over his territory. Solomon's army was severely wounded after losing 20,000 men in the last war. It would be very difficult to rearrange such a large-scale battle in the near future. Moreover, Sulaiman's territory is not as big as Kahn's country. It is not a kingdom but just a territory.

Currently, Xiao Yu believed that most of their soldiers were temporary recruits or mercenaries. So Xiao Yu was not worried about the attack from Carrie's father.

Moreover, he had sent Arthas to disturb them!

Captain Hui reported that the undead had disturbed people in the Solomon region recently. Many people have fled and there has been chaos. Xiao Yu was proud of Arthas!

Captain Hui said in a worried tone: “Solomon Region is not a big threat, but bandits! They will be a great threat to the Lion city soon.”.

Xiao Yu immediately asked about the information.

Xiao Yu had ordered Thrall to take the troops and exterminate the small bandit camps as he left. Due to the constant attacks from the Orcs, those small bandit camps had taken the initiative to unite against the Lion town. One of the bandit leaders named Subaru who was a capable person and had taken the opportunity to integrate many bandit groups under his own banner. He had gathered around 70,000 to 80,000 bandits together.

Xiao Yu only had 2,000 warriors and about 10,000 warriors from the Lion town. The combat effectiveness of the Lion town was low as most of the soldiers were new members. As a result, the alliance of 70,000 bandits was a huge threat to them.

In addition, it is said that Carrie and her father, Solomon, have sent people to contact the bandits and make a pact with them to deal with the Lion town.

Xiao Yu did not expect that he would contribute to such a situation by accident. But it's much better. The bandits gathered together and it would be easier to deal with them than to find each group one by one throughout the northwest. Of course, it would be difficult to deal with 70,000 or 80,000 bandits but with a wise plan he could defeat them.

"I will extinguish all the bandits in a year and unite the northwest in two years!" Xiao Yu had set a new target for himself.

He knew that chaotic times were coming and he had to have a strong foothold in this world. As a result, he had to unify the northwest before proceeding to conquer other places.

The Lion City was not even considered an opponent against a power like Kahn's country. They could bring 100,000 troops that could destroy their territory in one fell swoop.

Moreover, such a huge kingdom had many magicians, magical items, advanced weapons, and so on that no opponent like Solomon had!
