Chapter 35

Xiao Yu returned to the Lion town with his powerful army.

Many people came out of the city to warmly welcome the triumphant return of Xiao Yu.

Housekeeper Hong, Captain Hui and his brother-in-law also returned to make a grand welcoming ceremony.

The Lion City had long since not seen its army gain victory. Xiao Zhan Tian was defeated in the past ten years and lost a lot of manpower. As a result, the residents of the Lion town were disgusted by the war.

War means a burden to them. War meant that their family members would be killed, they would be heavily taxed and so on. As a result, they do not like war. However, the situation is completely different. Although they are still at war but this time the war is not a burden but something that enriches them. Xiao Yu would bring the resources he had snatched away from the bandits. Food, clothing, and other necessities will be sold to the citizens of the Lion town at a cheaper price. Moreover, Xiao Yu had exempted people from taxes for three years.

As a result, the people supported the war. According to them, war is something that has more to gain than its loss.

Xiao Yu was also aware that people would support his war if they had any interest in it. Xiao Yu was planning to introduce a new initiative to make people more supportive of him. He planned to have the titles of nobility, land and so on given to the war heroes. Xiao Yu only knew that if he wanted to achieve victory then war should not be his war but a war of territory.

The eyes of housekeeper Hong sparkled as he looked at the slaves, the dozens of loot cars and gold coins brought back by Xiao Yu.

The area is short of money. People were not short of food and clothes for now but housekeeper Hong had to arrange everything. Now, all of a sudden, he obtained so many gold coins and resources. He had opposed Xiao Yu's policy of removing taxes for three years but he could not change Xiao Yu's mind in the end.

Xiao Yu ordered the grunts to store 300,000 gold coins while leaving 100,000 gold coins and other supplies for the housekeeper Hong. Xiao Yu let the freed slaves to stay in the Lion city while he took 300,000 gold coins, his troops and the bandit slaves back to the base. He planned to use the bandit slaves as labor under the supervision of the grunts. These punishments are quite light for the crimes they have committed.

Xiao Yu underwent a grand funeral ceremony when they returned to the base. He inspected the newly produced soldiers and integrated them into his army.

He paid for 8 more Glaive Throwers. They would be very useful in the defense of the Lion town. Moreover, he was very satisfied with the impact the Glaive Thrower had in the fight with Marcus. He had money now so he had to get more of these super weapons.

Xiao Yu not only earned gold coins but also meritorious service points. He had over 10,000 spare merit points as a result of his victory.

It was very normal for him to get this many points. The last time he defended against Carrie's army but this time he surrounded and attacked Marcus' bandits.

It seems a lot to have 10,000 meritorious service points. But after a quick calculation, Xiao Yu discovered that he could spend everything in an instant. He could never have too many merit serive points.

Xiao Yu spent 2,000 merit points in the orc blacksmith shop to develop the Destroyer. He planned to get 10 destroyers for the upcoming battle.

He knew that these machines would be more effective than a thousand soldiers in terms of defending the city. The Orc Destroyers had to have their own special characteristics so he knew that they would play a big role in the battle.

The effects of the Glaive Thrower and Demolisher were good but they were not cheap. He paid 180,000 gold coins to buy 8 Glaive Throwers and 10 Destroyers. In the blink of an eye, he had spent over half his money.

The newly produced warrior had no armor. He did not have enough money to buy armor for all of them but the production time of the armor was too slow. Moreover, the soldiers returning from battle had their armor broken and needed repairs that would take up a lot of time.\=

Xiao Yu planned to arm each soldier before facing Carrie's forces once again. As a result, he had to build more blacksmith shops.

He spent 6,000 merit points and had around 5,000 left.

Tyrande and Grom had reached level 10. The blacksmith shop and the Hunter's Hall could provide new armor and weapons for the heroes. Xiao Yu learned that the heroes could use the T1 set armor after they leveled up. Xiao Yu was surprised because with T1 the strength of Tyrande and Grom would increase in large numbers. However, he had to spend 2,000 merit points and 20,000 gold coins to purchase a set of T1 equipment. In the blink of an eye, 4000 merit points were lost. However, he did not hesitate when buying those T1 sets to Grom and Tyrande.

T1 Grom armor consists of 8 pieces. The armor covered his entire body. Grom looked like a general after he put on his armor. Xiao Yu was surprised to learn that Grom's strength had doubled after wearing the T1 set. He knew that Grom could easily kill Marcus if they met in battle now.

The T1 Tyrande armor set is also made of 8 pieces. They have beautiful shapes and beautiful designs. Tyrande's defense was upgraded while the armor flowed with a green light over time.

Xiao Yu thought it would take a long time to produce the T1 armor set but it seemed that they were ready to be used when the hero reached level 10. If he follows the same logic then does that mean that the T2 set will be ready when the hero reaches level 20?

Xiao Yu was looking forward to the future.

He had a hero wearing a T1 set but Xiao Yu was a little depressed. He wanted all the soldiers in his army to wear T1 armor. In addition, there seems to be a level limit for the T1 set. An ordinary warrior would have to reach level 10 even if he had enough money or merit points to buy it.

Xiao Yu wanted to obtain 1 set of armor for himself. But he was only level 6 and could not get it. Moreover, the archmage was also level 6. Unfortunately, he could not buy the T1 set for the archmage. Otherwise, the defense power of the archmage would have increased a lot.

Xiao Yu paid 40,000 gold coins to buy those two sets of T1 armor. He is distressed about the amount of money he spent but feels relieved because the lives of the heroes will be safe. Xiao Yu knew that heroes were extremely valuable and he could not lose them on the battlefield.

He spent the money to repair equipment, bought some burrows, a moon well, a farm and found that he did not have much money left. There is never enough money.

Xiao Yu decided to loot another bandit camp or else he could not continue his expansion.

…

…

Xiao Yu saw the Lion town busy with preparations as he returned. The houses were arranged for slaves who were freed from bandits.

Xiao Yu saw housekeeper Hong and his brother-in-law help distribute resources to these slaves. He went to look for Captain Hui to discuss the defensive strategy against Carrie's attack.
