Carrie was training her soldiers for siege tactics against the orc warriors, but did not know that she had also given Xiao Yu extra time to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Xiao Yu had yet to fully finish producing the bachelors and shooters of the human race and only had two Glaive Throwers. If Carrie immediately attacked then her chances of winning the battle were high.

Xiao Yu was confident Carrie would come at least in a month because of the intelligence gathered by the spies. That meant he could accomplish a lot before the next siege.

Carrie also sent spies to gather intelligence about Xiao Yu's forces. However, the elf hunters effectively crippled the spy. The hunters use leopards, which makes them fast and flexible. Moreover, they could hide themselves and their mounts within the shadows. In addition, their vision is much better at night when compared to humans. As a result, every spy from the enemy side that approached ten miles to the Lion town was killed in a merciless manner.

In addition, Xiao Yu asked 10 hunters to patrol around the Lion town and monitor the activity.

“Glaive thrower produced. Now it's time to attack the bandit camp to see how strong they act.” Xiao Yu looked at the two orcs carrying the Glaive Thrower on their shoulders. If it was another army then they would have to use horses to carry such a machine. However, the two grunts were able to carry one Glaive Thrower without any problems.

Xiao Yu had chosen a medium-sized bandit camp as his next target. According to Fox, there are between 3,000 and 4,000 people in the camp. However, this bandit group was completely different from the latter. There were no parents, women or children in the camp. They are all bandits.

This bandit group was extremely cold-blooded. All they did was burn, loot, and rape. They left no one alive. Moreover, they were constantly recruiting new members, only choosing the strong ones. They don't like to carry "trunk".

According to Fox, the leader of the group was extremely famous; even more so than Xiao Yu.

In addition, Fox told him that there would be at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins and other valuable items in the bandit camp.

Xiao Yu needed to rob such a place. At this point, he needed money more than anything else. He had been abolishing taxes for three years so he had to rely on robbery to provide income for the region. As a result, Xiao Yu had to pursue the camps of wealthy bandits. Moreover, this was a new challenge for his troops. He must test the strength of his new army and his commanding ability at the same time.

The real battle was the only place where he could test the effectiveness of cooperation between his troops. His troops were all elite soldiers, but they were from different races; this was a big deal for him. If he could not manage it well then the result would only fail.

…

…

Xiao Yu brought 300 grunts, 50 bachelors, 200 elf archers, 50 shooters, 50 hunters, and both Glaive Throwers with him for this battle. The rest of the troops were left at the base. The problem is, not everything is produced.

As usual, Xiao Yu and Grom went to observe the place first. He planned to see if he could use any tricks to influence the battle to his advantage. However, he discovered that the simple tricks he had used before would not be effective against this bandit group.

Fox was not familiar with this bandit group so the trick they used last time would not be effective. Moreover, due to the extermination of Ma Tong's group, the other bandits began to notice the mysterious situation that was developing.

Rumors that orcs had attacked some bandit camps began to spread.

Xiao Yu had no experience besieging cities or villages. He knew that the thick wall before his eyes was not as strong as the Lion city wall, but it would not be easy to break through. He could not help but worry about what tactics he could choose.

He didn't want to attack blindly like Carrie did. If he did not understand the enemy then he would definitely lose the warrior. Moreover, he had less than 1000 soldiers so he was afraid to see his soldiers just die.

The Glaive Thrower was his siege equipment. He thought that the scythe blade fired by the Glaive Thrower might be able to smash the wall into pieces if it was 50 meters away. However, if he did then storming into that place would be the next step and he would suffer a huge loss afterwards.

Moreover, the patrols on the walls worked very meticulously.

…

…

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yu decided to attack at night because his soldiers had a great advantage at night compared to the enemies.

The elves would play an incredible role during the night battle. First, they can hide in the shadows of darkness. Second, they have night vision abilities that allow them to see clearly for long distances. This means that their archery will be very profitable at night.

The Dwarves are evil at night. Their eyesight was not good even though they were drilling, mining, and living in caves. Xiao Yu thought that the 50 shooters would not be used properly. Although the grunts' eyesight was not as good as the elves at night, it was still much better than the dwarves. Moreover, he was not worried about the bachelor as they were excellent human warriors and could cope with the night war.

As a result, they stay in the forest until it gets dark.

The moon looks like a little crescent moon tonight. The stars were shining and it was the perfect time for this battle.

Ordinary humans would not be able to see even 50 meters ahead in the darkness, but elves could clearly see 100 meters in front of them.

Xiao Yu led Grom, Tyrande, and the two hundred archers as they slowly moved to the side of the wall. About 10 elf archers had reached level 3 and were able to use the Right Shooting skill. Shadow Escape had already become something that all elves could use. The patrols above the wall did not see anything abnormal even though Xiao Yu and the others had reached the foot of the wall.

Xiao Yu and Grom climbed up from the corner of the wall. The four-meter wall was no barrier to Grom. He was already about 2.5 or 2.6 meters tall; he could climb up the wall with a single leap. Xiao Yu, however, faced difficulties. A four-meter wall is equivalent to a two-story building. It was very difficult for him to climb. Since he had no tricks to wake up, he firmly grabbed Grom's big foot so Grom could help him stand up.

Xiao Yu nearly choked to death from the smell. How many years has it been since Grom washed his feet? He decided that he would order the Orcs to wash themselves together later.

They use Wind Walk in stealth mode so that the patrol does not detect their presence.

Neither Grom nor Xiao Yu used a sword to attack the patrol as the moonlight would reflect their swords, making the others aware of their attacks. As a result, Grom directly approached the patrolmen one by one. He would hold their heads, cover their mouths, and then twist their necks. The enemy patrol could not say a word before their deaths.

Tyrande and the ten other archers who had reached level 3 started shooting arrows directly into the throat of the patrolmen. Within a short period of time, about a dozen patrolmen were killed. Normally, each patrolman held a torch as they moved but the torches had been extinguished one by one.

However, the other patrols did not have time to figure out what happened when the archers started their attacks. The arrows pierced their throats. Two patrolmen remained but Grom was able to strangle their necks and crumble their necks.
