World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination

Chapter 51
Xiao Yu was excited as he looked at the two heroes.
"Finally, you're here Thrall." Xiao Yu grabbed Thrall's hand to say hello: “Have you tried it?
“Uther you look good. I'm glad to meet you.” Xiao Yu was very courteous with the two heroes showing how much attention was on the two.
However, Xiao Yu discovered that the two of them did not know how to answer him. He checked the skills that heroes could master.
The skills Thrall can master are:
Lightning Bolt (up to level 3). Thrall can send the power of Lightning Bolt to attack the enemy.
Power of Earth Totem (up to level 3). Thrall can summon totems that can increase the grunting power attribute within a certain range by 20%, 40%, and 60%.
Stone Skin Totem (up to level 3). Thrall can summon a totem that can cover the grunts within a certain distance with a protective layer of stone to enhance their defense. Defense increases by 20% with each level increase.
Call Elemental Earth (up to level 3). Thrall can summon Earth Elementals to fight for him.
The skills that Uther can master are:
Sacred Light (up to level 3). Uther can heal wounded soldiers. Treatment effect increases by 30% with each level increase.
Blessing of Might (up to level 3). Uther can bless the human army with power. The strength attribute increased by 20% at level 1, 40% at level 2 and 60% at level 3.
Aura of Devotion (up to level 3). The paladin covered the area with a halo and the armor of the allied human warriors was enhanced. Armor increased by 20% when Devotion Aura increased the level.
Judgment (up to level 3). The paladin can use its power of light to issue judgments over the enemy. Damage multiplies if an attack is made on a dead creature.
Xiao Yu smiled as he examined the skills of the two heroes.
“As I expected there are totems and blessings that can increase the strength of the entire army. This is better than using a single but powerful hero. But it was a pity that the Thrall skill could only increase the strength of the Orcs whereas the blessings of the Paladin only applied to human warriors.”
Xiao Yu thought that it was normal to see Thrall's skills only apply to Orcs while Uther's skills only improved human warriors. After all, the belief systems of humans and orcs were different.
Xiao Yu chose the skill for Thrall and Uther without much thought. Thrall's first skill was Strength of Earth Totem and Uther mastered Blessing of the Might.
He had to increase the combat efficiency of all his troops at this stage. Thrall and Uther were individually good warriors so he didn't mind them not having any attacking skills at the moment.
Xiao Yu's achievement points and gold coins were exhausted by the time he paid for the two heroes and upgraded the blacksmith and shop for the four races.
He planned to produce a human heavy cavalry but had no money. Moreover, the money needed to buy heavy cavalry was a lot. Each one cost 400 gold coins and he needed 200,000 gold coins to buy only 500 coins. He did not count better equipment replacement for heavy cavalry. He Xiao Yu realized that the equipment of the soldiers was shabby at the time of the summoning. Now, he had upgraded his blacksmith to level 2 so that he could buy better equipment. But better armor and weapons mean more money.
Fortunately, he had defeated Carrie's many troops and plundered all of her armor and weapons. He planned to put everything into the blacksmith to save costs.
…
…
Xiao Yu learned from Captain Hui that Carrie's situation was not very good in her father's territory. Almost all of the 20,000 elite troops were annihilated so they could not come for revenge any time soon. Also, their territory was stronger than the Lion city but the number of troops they had was around 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. They had lost almost half of their troops in the last war. Will they send the other half?
Carrie's father isn't stupid either. He punishes Carrie heavily but also knows that the loss was not Carrie's fault. Even a fool can win a war with 20,000 against 2000. That means there are special circumstances that led to Carrie's disappearance. At least it was proof that Xiao Yu's orc army was extremely strong. Moreover, the returning soldiers told them that Xiao Yu had ancient weapons such as the Glaive Thrower and a special catapult that threw hundreds of stones.
Xiao Yu realized that Carrie's father would not come straight for revenge. As an intelligent person, he would wait to recuperate and gather information about Xiao Yu. At the same time, he would try to recruit different troops to deal with Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was victorious in the defensive battle but he could not attack their territory because he lacked troops. Its strength was lacking and not suitable for large-scale siege warfare. But, he did not plan to let them do what they wanted. Xiao Yu could not send regular troops to attack and disturb them, but he had an undead now. He would make the people of their territory know what real fear was.
That's the strategy of the game. After the construction of Necropolis, he had bought 100 ghouls. He also has some Acolytes. He plans to send them to Carrie's father's territory to harass their people.
…
…
Xiao Yu started to destroy the bandit camp and make money while raising new warriors and heroes.
The efficiency of the soldiers improved greatly (Trump could use it, so why can't I?) with the help of Uther and Thrall. In short, they were invincible against most of the bandit groups.
He met some bandit groups that were hard to beat like Marcus before but no one could resist the tricks used by Xiao Yu.
After a month of battle, Xiao Yu's level finally reached level 10. He was as strong as this world's second ranked warrior. Grom, Tyrande and Archmage Antonidas have reached level 13.
Xiao Yu made Grom learn the Heroic Leap and Sprint skill. It was an additional skill but was very helpful in increasing the Blademaster's combat power.
Xiao Yu added two skill points to the aura of Trueshot Tyrande. He did not expect Tyrande to be in a one-on-one battle. As of now, the aura of Trueshot Tyrande had reached level 4 which meant that the overall strength of the elf archer had almost doubled.
Xiao Yu made the Archmage master of Enhanced Water Elemental, Teleportation, and Frost Nova.
Xiao Yu had eight skill points. He upgraded the Heroic Leap to the full level while adding two skill points to the Sprint. He had three remaining skill points that he used to master the Teleportation skill.
He can jump as high as ten meters with the help of the Heroic Leap skill. He really was like a real-life spider-man. Teleportation let him move directly to another place in an instant. As he used wind walk in steal mode, he felt that he could be a great killer.
In fact, Xiao Yu was very happy when he tried the Heroic Leap skill a few times. He could feel the adrenaline rush when he saw the basketball players dunking at high altitudes. His blood boiled as he tried the skill.
Humanity has always had the desire to get rid of gravity. Xiao Yu felt an unprecedented release of passion when he could act so.
Thrall and Uther have reached level 8 due to the constant fighting over the past month. Thrall's current skills are: Strength of the Earth Totem (level 3), Stoneskin Totem (level 3) and Elemental Earth (level 2). However, he did not want to make Thrall master Lightning Bolt for now as he was waiting for the Chain Lightning skill to appear.
Uther's current skills are: Blessing of Might (level 3), Devotion Aura (level 3) and Holy Light (level 2). He used the Holy Light skill so that the Paladin could heal the friend unit. He had a healing potion but sometimes his wounds could not be healed completely. However, the Sacred Light Paladin skill could even treat him after using the healing potion. Nevertheless, the Paladins still could not treat only the human army. Xiao Yu was a little depressed because he did not know if Thrall would have the same skill in the future. But, Xiao Yu knew that there were Shadow Hunters from Orcs who could be summoned as heroes. He would call out to her if Thrall didn't have any healing skills.
Moreover, he could purchase a Mage Physician if his main headquarters leveled up. However, it is very difficult to raise the main base to level 2 because the number of service points required is very much.
Xiao Yu plundered a lot of money and resources over the past month. Housekeeper Hong was extremely cheerful due to the unprecedented wealth of the Lion town. He was delighted when he changed the warehouse list repeatedly as new materials and resources were brought in.
He often had to change and change the list as soon as he finished with the first one. Housekeeper Hong was busy and enjoyed his work. Xiao Yu was afraid that Housekeeper Hong would work too hard and his old body could not withstand the stress. That's why he called his brother-in-law to help the management.
His second brother-in-law, Suehan, was extremely proficient in this field. She was good at counting and her help greatly calmed Housekeeper Hong. Old Hong did not need to sleep in the warehouse anymore.
Moreover, Xiao Yu made dozens of spare clothes out of the best fabrics for Housekeeper Hong so that he did not worry about which clothes to wear on any given day.
Her brother-in-law has also been very happy over the past month. They were full of confidence about the future of the region.
Their attitude towards Xiao Yu changed slightly as they were about to open one eye while closing the other while Xiao Yu tried to peek at them or persecute them.
Camilla was the most ferocious, which made Xiao Yu infatuated with her. Housekeeper Hong did not mind this situation. It was normal among nobles to have many wives and concubines. In addition, housemaid Hong planned to get a wife for Xiao Yu as they could get a wife from an influential family to support their expansion.
Besides, these women were not outside. In historical history, there have been precedent situations in which the king inherited the throne and married the queen and concubine of the previous king. In short, it was not a rare thing in the history of this world. As a result, Housekeeper Hong was very open-minded in this area.
Xiao Yu was unaware of Housekeeper Hong's idea. Otherwise, he would have gone straight into action and would not have limited himself to peering. Xiao Yu succeeded with his plan to gather his troops after obtaining the money. He increased the number of troops to 1900. Xiao Yu had 600 grunts, 500 heavy cavalry, 200 bachelors, 300 elf archers, 200 dwarf shooters and 100 hunters.
He had ten Glaive Throwers and ten Demolishers but could not produce Meat Wagons yet. He was looking forward to the production of those machines.
The Meat Wagon is completely different from other machines. They could be placed on the battlefield and pushed forward as offensive equipment.
Moreover, he had a new army but did not have enough funds to obtain better equipment for them. Xiao Yu understood that it was very difficult to defend the troops.
…
…
Xiao Yu had just returned from the robbery when he learned that there were guests in the city. Housekeeper Hong, Captain Hui, and brother-in-law Xiao Yu were in the hall with the guests. Xiao Yu was told that everyone was in the hall and there was an important discussion. He frowned because he did not know the topic. He entered the hall and felt a depressed mood.
Xiao Yu casually glanced at the people sitting in the living room. He looked at the badges on their clothes and knew that they belonged to the family of his fifth brother-in-law.
"People from the 5th sister-in-law's family have come... I wonder why?" Xiao Yu pondered as he did not greet them but directly sat down on his throne.
