Chapter 13
“Master, why do we take 5000 people? I can flatten that city with only 2000 soldiers.” A bearded man stared at the blonde youth sitting on the carriage.
“Hail, what do you know? Do you think his master attacked the Sky Lion territory just for the girl? I want that territory! Tough times are coming and this region is the best place to set up headquarters. We can develop it slowly.” The blonde youth was drinking bright red wine. His eyes narrowed as he enjoyed the drink.
He fantasizes about breaking into the city. He would see people giving up and beauty in his arms.
"Yes. Yep. The young master is wise. We can build a headquarters here away from the curious eyes.”
If Xiao Yu was here then he would recognize that this blonde youth was his enemy, Carrie.
Rows of soldiers were walking behind his luxurious carriage. There was an arrogant expression on the faces of these soldiers. They thought they had won the battle. In their perspective, there would be no real battle and the other party would give up very easily.
They were worried that their swords would not taste blood at the end of the battle.
During the day, Carrie's army was about ten miles from the Lion town.
“How about that little girl?” ask Carrie.
Dotu, the head of the squad, replied: “Be assured young master. I have instilled a spy in the city and they say that the girls have not left the city.”
Carrie nodded with satisfaction. Around the Lion town was a desolate land. There was no vegetation and Carrie could see the walls around the city from afar.
At the same time, Xiao Yu looked to the other side as he stood on top of the wall.
“It looks like they brought a lot of people.” Captain Hui looked at the overcrowded enemy troops. He didn't expect Carrie to bring so many people.
“That's no problem. They will all end up as fertilizer.” Xiao Yu looked at the distant black dots and spoke in a haughty manner. He was confident because he had an elite orc warrior and elf archer by his side.
"Are these mercenaries reliable?" Captain Hui looked at the orc warriors and elf archers covered in robes. There was a little doubt in his heart.
Captain Hui thought that Xiao Yu was too young. He did not know the background of the mercenaries and he might have led the wolves in the nest. Captain Hui had followed Xiao Zhan Tian in many wars and seen many things.
He had no doubts about the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries. But the problem was how could 400 mercenaries act against 5000?
"They're here." Tyrande reported to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu nodded and picked up a glass of red wine from the table. He slowly sipped from the glass and placed it back on the table. Xiao Yu had picked up the red wine his father had collected. He was drinking and enjoying wine on the wall while Tyrande stood to his left and Grom stood to his right.
Xiao Yu was not a military strategist but he knew about psychological tactics. He does not have much experience in war but he has seen movies and read novels to know that he must use psychological tricks to win the hearts of his people. On the one hand, she tries to confuse Carrie while on the other she tries to show her people that their God is full of confidence.
In fact, hunters have long detected and sent intelligence reports about the arrival of Carrie's troops when they appeared 30 miles away.
The hunters can use stealth mode and remain invisible. In addition, they have leopards as mounts which means they can move quickly. He could use it to gather and send information remotely in the future when they reached higher levels.
However, it required an elf hunter to reach at least level 10.
Carrie's troops reached a distance where Xiao Yu could clearly see Carrie's figure. At the same time, Carrie also looked at Xiao Yu.
There was a witch by his side who confirmed that Carrie's voice echoed and reached the city.
“You may have a witch by your side, but you will face tragedy.” Xiao Yu touched his nose. She had no magician so she could not echo her voice like Carrie. However, he did not want to shout out loud as it would affect the appearance of the man he had. So he used his right hand to raise the glass of red wine and move it towards Carrie. At the same time, Xiao Yu stretched out his left hand and clenched his hand. After which, he raised his middle finger upwards.
Xiao Yu had an elegant smile on his face as he sent a clear message.
Carrie's face turned pale and she was angry. The glass in his hand fell to the ground.
"Groan!" scream Carrie.
Carrie planned to use rhetoric to mock Xiao Yu but Xiao Yu's middle finger infuriated her.
“I'll get the city and I'll play with your brother-in-law in front of you. I will make them slaves and let everyone play with them!” whispered Carrie.
Carrie had no battle experience. But his family had prepared stairs and catapults to penetrate the city walls.
“Gosh! That catapult must have cost a lot. ” Xiao Yu saw troops pushing catapults ten meters long.
He had nothing to attack such a big catapult. Moreover, he did not have the mage to attack those machines remotely.
Xiao Yu also thought of the production of Orcish Demolishers and Elven Glaive Throwers.
However, he needed 2000 meritorious service points and 50000 gold coins to be able to develop them. That was why Xiao Yu abandoned the idea.
Captain Hui's face changed when he saw the catapult. He was clear that the walls of the Lion town would not be able to withstand the attack from the catapult.
They would be massacred once the city walls broke and Carrie's troops stormed in. Initially, Captain Hui thought they could surprise the enemy by relying on the additional four elite soldiers brought in by Xiao Yu.
However, his plan was reversed when he saw the catapult.
Captain Hui knew that they had no way to stop the attack of 5000 soldiers. At the same time, despair began to take over his heart. The soldiers of the Lion town trembled as they held their weapons.
At this point, only Xiao Yu was able to keep his attitude. Grom and Tyrande were not human but they were born warriors! They don't know what fear is. Xiao Yu poured wine into another glass and handed it to Captain Hui: “Captain Hui, try this. It's from my dad's collection. It's a pity if you don't drink it.”
Captain Hui gently sighed as he took out a wine cup and finished it once. He said: “Today we will die here. This is the best place to be our grave.”
“What happened to you Uncle Hui? Why are you so frustrated? Why are you talking about the cemetery? Look at how beautiful this world is, how fresh the air is!” Xiao Yu looked at Captain Hui.
Captain Hui was very confused when he saw the confident expression on Xiao Yu's face. There are two plausible explanations. Either Xiao Yu had a problem in his head or he had a way to deal with the crisis.
What did Xiao Yu rely on? Only 400 people? Can these 400 men fight 5000 soldiers?
Carrie's army rushed towards the Lion town. The footsteps of the soldiers echoed around the wilderness.
"KILL!" The enemy commander shouted as countless soldiers stormed carrying the stairs. They're gonna start climbing the city walls. The roar of 5000 filled the entire sky.
However, a sharp voice echoed the next moment. The enemy soldiers looked up to see an arrow covering the sky.
