World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination

Chapter 56
Xiao Yu returned to the Lion City. Housekeeper Hong had made preparations for the trip and gifts for family members of the fifth brother-in-law. He had to give gifts to friends and relatives from his hometown so that they could not send him back empty-handed. It was normal among nobles to give gifts. Moreover, they had to make sure that people did not feel that Siwen had lived a rundown life in the Lion town. In fact, the Lion City was no longer poor. Xiao Yu had looted many precious items in the past few months.
The northwest was not a rich land but an important route for trade from the interior to the Western Cloud Empire. There were many bandit groups in the northwest but due to the high profits there were many merchants who would take the risk to travel.
The bandits were robbed from the merchant and Xiao Yu was robbed from the bandits.
There were some things that even housekeeper Hong had never seen in his life. There were many antiques, jewelry, spices and other precious items taken from the bandit camp.
The nobles of the Western Cloud Empire were rich but they did not have beautiful handicrafts, spices from the south and other precious items. That is why traders will try to transport these valuables for profit. Brother-in-law Xiao Yu would give him a list of items he had to get when he was about to go to the robber camp which made him shocked at some point.
As of now, all brothers-in-law have expensive rings, necklaces and they replace them every day because the Lion town has no shortage of jewelry. Xiao Yu needed gold coins for his headquarters. The jewelry had to be converted into gold coins before being used at the base. As a result, most of the time he did not sell the jewelry but gave it to his brother-in-law.
As a result, Siwen would bring a lot of stuff back home.
…
…
Housekeeper Mo tried to contact Xiao Yu but saw that she was missing from the Lion town for a few days. He thought that Xiao Yu was back to gambling. Hui City, the capital of Wei Kingdom, is a bustling place and is famous for its gambling arena. Housekeeper Mo decided that Xiao Yu had gone to Hui city to continue his porch party.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu had returned a few days after he left. She told Housekeeper Mo that they would be gone in two days.
…
…
Housekeeper Mo woke up in the morning after those two days had passed. He took the Wang family carriage and was ready to leave. He discovered that Xiao Yu and the others were waiting for him there when he reached the Lion city gate. The other sister-in-law was chatting with Siwen.
Housekeeper Mo snorted as he looked at them: "Fortunately, he doesn't need to go back to this broken place anymore."
“Nona, please take the train because we don't want to lose any more time.” Housekeeper Mo came to urge Siwen to leave.
Housekeeper Mo couldn't help but hate the place when he saw and saw that Siwen didn't even have a gift for himself. He will show it but change his mind. Once again, she thought that it was lucky for little miss that she would not return to this place again.
Siwen nodded but he was reluctant to let go of the other brother-in-law's hand.
“Please miss.” Housekeeper Mo said once more. According to the rules, Siwen had to take the train first and Housekeeper Mo had to enter after. It was a rule and housekeeper Mo had to follow it.
"Bring the fifth lady's carriage." Housekeeper Hong shouted at the same time.
Mo's housekeeper's brows furrowed as he did not expect the Lion town to send a carriage. She intervenes: “Hong household helpers need not be polite. Normal trains will be slow and the road bumpy. We do not want to be delayed on the way home.”
The Wang family car is very luxurious. There were two wind magic arrays drawn on the carriage which made it very comfortable. Moreover, the two choice horses were pulling it so the speed was also fast. The Wang family carriage was almost as fast as normal cavalry. In addition, the carriages were spacious enough to accommodate 7 or 8 people at once. That was why Housekeeper Mo was reluctant to look at the shabby carriage from the Lion town to take the lead.
Housekeeper Hong smiled: “We are impolite. Housekeeper Mo didn't realize it but our fifth woman had long lived in the Lion town and wasn't used to riding another carriage. ”
Smoke and dust rolled as soon as Housekeeper Hong finished his words. Eight white horses ran while pulling the large golden-carved luxurious carriage.
All horses have clean white hair. They're neat and clean. The housekeeper was puzzled to see that the 8 horses were rare Snow Pegasus.
Snow Pegasus was a rare breed of horse used by high-ranking nobles. The horses were not only handsome but almost one head taller than the average horse. They are very fast and hard to come by. The snow pegasus would cost tens of thousands of gold coins in the central plains. The Jade Lion Dynasty Emperor asked the 16 Snow Pegasus to pull his carriage.
8 Horses were allowed in the chariot of the prince and duke. So a normal noble cannot ask 8 horses to pull their carriage. That's a traditional rule. Now, the power of the Sky Lion Dynasty had weakened so much that many nobles secretly used 8 horses and even some of them had 16 horses pulling their chariots.
But, Xiao Yu was a duke and it was completely legal for 8 horses to pull his carriage. Xiao Zhan Tian had saved the dynasty from the barbarians and was a great general. As a result, the emperor had bestowed the title of Duke upon him as well. So it is normal if 8 horses are used in their carriage.
After Xiao Yu's brother died, the Duke's title was naturally his.
Moreover, for the snow pegasus, the carriage was extremely luxurious. That's a huge one. The car was almost four or five times larger than the money family car. There are many types of beautiful decorations carved outside the train that look more like masterpieces than tools for traveling.
Normally, it was extremely rare to find a carriage with two wind magic arrays. Witches were rare and precious so carving intricate magic arrows onto the carriage was an expensive matter. But Xiao Yu's carriage had 8 magic arrays engraved on it. The wheels are not 4 but 8. The train is divided into two large compartments. The first compartment was meant to witness the scenery while the second compartment was meant for the nobles to rest in.
Housekeeper Mo was stunned when he saw the carriage. Isn't the Lion town declining? Why do they have such a luxurious carriage? The train is worth millions of gold coins …
The Wang family's best chariot only used four horses. Moreover, they were not as white and grand as this one.
Why does the Lion City have such a luxurious carriage?
Housekeeper Mo did not realize that Xiao Yu had robbed this carriage from the bandits. He did not care from whom the bandits had been robbed.
The carriage did not carry the pegasus when Xiao Yu robbed him. However, he was able to loot the horses from the different bandit groups that were originally robbed from the merchants of the Western Cloud Empire. He was able to make 8 of them so he had ordered Housekeeper Hong to arrange for the 8 horses to pull the carriage. It was a symbol of identity and as Duke Xiao Yu was worthy of using such a horse.
Good horses are never lost around the Lion town. Bandit groups would always try to rob from the merchant fleets and caravans that came from the Western Cloud Empire.
…
…
Housekeeper Mo was shocked but at the same time an evil thought appeared in his heart. He knew that as Duke Xiao Yu was qualified to use 8 horse carriages. Even though his family was in decline but it meant that the other nobles had to salute Xiao Yu and give her face when they met him. It's a nobleman's rule. Now, her master planned to remarry the 4th Miss by force. Wouldn't it matter if this kid disagrees?
“Fuck! Nothing had changed even if he was a Duke. He had less than 50000 people in his territory. So being Duke was just a useless title. I don't think I need to worry about this little problem. ”
Housekeeper Mo 'hmpf'ed but there was jealousy and jealousy in his eyes as he looked at the carriage. After all, this carriage was a status symbol. Everyone wants to take a train like that. Unfortunately, he did not have the qualifications to drive it.
No wonder Housekeeper Hong said that the 4th Miss was not used to riding another train and was used to being alone. The Wang family carriage was good but it could not compare to the one in front of it. It's like comparing a kitten to a lion.
…
…
Two maids helped Siwen enter the second compartment of the carriage. The first compartment was meant for Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu had his own horse but he preferred to drink wine and enjoy the scenery more.
“Because this is the case, let's go.” Housekeeper Mo said as he looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu smiled: “Housekeeper Mo, my bodyguard has not come yet. I knew that there were many small bandit groups throughout our region so I had to take some to act as my bodyguard. I would be good if I went alone but I was afraid that the little bandit would aim for my fifth sister-in-law. I know that her beauty has attracted the attention of many parties.”
Xiao Yu used a play on words to incite Housekeeper Mo.
Housekeeper Mo snorted for a moment: “The Wang family is aware of your poor reign so they have sent 100 elite cavalry troops with me. 5 Of them were fighters so they were enough to overcome any group of bandits. I know that the Lion town does not dare to move freely but our Wang family is not afraid of anyone. You will be safe with us.”
Housekeeper Mo tried to weaken Xiao Yu with a direct sentence.
Xiao Yu smiled but did not speak. It didn't take long before the roar started to echo from outside. More than a dozen figures attracted the attention of the cavalry.
One of them shouted: “ORCS! Why are there orcs here? Get ready to fight!”
The cavalry troops were well trained but they were shocked when they saw dozens of orcs. Everyone knew about the reputation of the orcs in the continent. The word orc is synonymous with the word brave.
Xiao Yu waved his hand as he said indifferently: “No need to panic. They are my bodyguards.”
"What's? A bodyguard?” The cavalry were dumbfounded.
Orc Guards?! It had been years since they had heard such an idea! Only the most powerful rulers had the resources to tame those wild and brutal orcs and make them their bodyguards. It was a symbol of absolute glory and meant more than just owning an elf pet.
Xiao Yu had recently read many history books about the continent. She still did not know why Tyrande was considered the Goddess of the elves but she had learned a lot about the history of the continent.
Orcs did not go extinct all of a sudden but they were suppressed by humans bit by bit. Orcs are not completely extinct even now. They were hidden in the depths of the mountains far from the human eye.
Orcs were not rare in the past. They will be captured by humans but they will not be killed on the spot. Orcs will be used as gladiators to fight creatures or other orcs.
Later on, some nobles started training orcs to use them as bodyguards. It was a mode for the upper nobles to have a team of orc bodyguards.
It was about 100 years ago when the number of Orcs dwindled and they gradually retreated.
However, it is said that there are orc warriors in the big cities where they are still used as gladiators.
Xiao Yu knew that he would have some problems with the Wang family. He needed to raise his bargaining chip so he used the idea of an orc bodyguard from history. It was a show of his strength. Other than ten grunts, he brought Tyrande, Grom, and Archmage Antonidas along with himself.
The reason for bringing Tyrande with himself was because the existence of the elf bodyguards was more attractive than orcs. Although the nobles wanted the elven woman as a personal pet but everyone was aware that the noble elves did not like to bow in front of humans. They would only act as bodyguards for human heroes. The famous Augustus the Great had a number of fairy guards as well as 1000 orcs.
Xiao Yu's status and identity would improve greatly if he showed that he had orc and elf bodyguards.
Moreover, witches were rare and precious in this world. Only the most powerful nobles had high-class witches by their side. Xiao Yu brought Antonidas with himself to fill the facade he pulled out. Archmage was level 13 and was equivalent to a second rank mage in this world.
Xiao Yu planned ahead by creating a hero image for himself.
“If they act shamelessly then I will catch him and run back!”
All the grunts he took with himself had reached level 6. They were not inferior to any first-rate human warrior. In fact, first rank human warriors were not their opponents due to their strong stature. Xiao Yu knew that he could not face the troops with them but that was enough to escape from anywhere.
There was shock in the eyes of Housekeeper Mo and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Xiao Yu entered the carriage and waved: "Let's go." She did not care about Housekeeper Mo as the latter was still in shock and with the Wang family carriage.
