Chapter 26
Xiao Yu was very pleased with the Glaive Thrower's appearance. The strength of his army would increase with the addition of the Glaive Thrower. As a man from the Modern era, Xiao Yu was clear about the importance of heavy weapons.
“But, I have money to produce only two. How can I get enough for ten?”
Xiao Yu was still wondering about making money. A Glaive Thrower cost 10,000 gold coins. He had just entered the Lion town when he saw Housekeeper Hong ordering the staff to arrange the wealth that Xiao Yu had brought as his loot. Housekeeper Hong had not seen any income from the territory for a long time and was naturally happy with the opportunity. Although Xiao Yu did not give him any gold coins, the precious item he brought back was worth around 100,000 gold coins.
That was a good thing as the number of Lion cities also increased. Many people have left their cities because of conscription and war.
"Master, you're back" Housekeeper Hong cheerfully greeted Xiao Yu. He was no longer as cold as before.
Xiao Yu smiled: "Uncle Hong, where is Uncle Hui?"
Housekeeper Hong pointed towards the training field: “Captain Hui is training soldiers. Due to the final victory, Captain Hui was able to recruit new soldiers so he trained with them.”
Xiao Yu nodded: “You will control the city because I will not get involved. If you need help, please ask your brother-in-law. ”
Housekeeper Hong narrowed his eyes: "Yes."
Xiao Yu turned around and walked towards the training field. He found Captain Hui leading over 500 soldiers as they practiced different attack and defense formations.
The people in the region were very confident in Xiao Yu due to the last defensive battle. As a result, more people joined the army.
The situation of the citizens is not good because of the constant war for many years. As a result, Xiao Yu had given the order to exempt people from taxes for three years. At that moment, Housekeeper Hong and Captain Hui were grumbling a lot because of his decision. How can the region support its army and management if they have no income?
It didn't take long before Xiao Yu robbed the bandits and carried the loot. It was not much but at least it was enough to temporarily alleviate the financial pressure that the Lion town faced.
Xiao Yu had decided on a simple strategy. He's going to rob the bandits! It was his own territory and these bandits had robbed his resources. Was there anything wrong if he regained what belonged to him from the very beginning?
Moreover, his army of Orcs, elves, humans, and dwarves needed war to level up so that there was no choice but to undertake the great goal of clearing the territory from the evil bandits.
According to his estimation, if he could get everything from the bandit group in his territory then he would not need anything for decades.
…
…
"Young Master." Captain Hui greeted Xiao Yu respectfully.
Xiao Yu waved his hand: “Uncle Hui, we are family so you don't need to behave like that. Uncle Hong and you are my parents so please don't act like that once again. ”
Xiao Yu knew that Captain Hui was an ancient man from a serious expression on his face so he did not continue to say anything.
"Uncle Hui, any news on Carrie?" Xiao Yu asked.
Captain Hui's eyebrows raised: “The situation is not very good. I sent some people to get information. Carrie had reported back to her father and the man became furious. He was planning to punish Carrie but the bastard had reported that we had thousands of Orc warriors. That's why Carrie's father decided to lend her more troops and send her to attack us once again.”
Xiao Yu nodded: “So how many soldiers did he give? When will they be here?”
Captain Hui replied: “I was told that he was given 20,000 soldiers but also dozens of soldiers. Moreover, there were 1 second rank warrior and four magicians. Currently, they were training the troops for the siege war. I think they'll be here in a month or so. ”
Xiao Yu smiled: "There's no need to fear them if they get here in a month!"
“Master, I know that orcs and elves help us. But we won't be able to beat 20,000 with just them.” Captain Hui added.
Xiao Yu wryly smiled: "The Dwarf God recently contacted me and said that he would give me an army of dwarves to help me in my domination."
Captain Hui was stunned because he could not believe his ears.
…
…
Carrie's army was training hundreds of miles away from the Lion town.
Carrie was sitting on a high platform and looking at the soldiers.
“Hmpf~ Orc and elf! Do you think that you are invincible because you got it? This time you will see my strength! I'll trample that damned city!”
Carrie was absolutely certain of his victory, just like he was the last time.
This time his father had given him 20,000 troops and dozens of powerful warriors and four magicians. In addition, he had an infantry with heavy armor. Even the Orcs would not be able to suppress it! Moreover, he had prepared a much more advanced siege weapon.
“They should specifically train and learn the tactics for the siege because I must not lose this time. I will seize that Orc and make my slave and use that elf as my pet.” Carrie said loudly.
His military advisers began praising Carrie's army: “Master, these 20,000 soldiers are very well equipped. They could even attack the capital of the kingdom of Wei let alone that Lion city.”
“Kingdom Wei will be mine sooner or later. After that, Hui City will be our capital.” Carrie narrowed her eyes as she started fantasizing about being king in her own right.
