Chapter 100
The sky glowed blood red when the sun rose. The green skin of the Orcs reflected the bloody killing they had gone through before dawn. Right now, the Orcs were clearing the battlefield from the corpses of the enemy soldiers attacking them.
The enemy army launched a desperate attack and made every effort but unfortunately for them they had met Xiao Yu. First of all, they were unaware of the Tyrande Eagle Eyes skill that could even see the subtle movements within the field at a glance. They were aware that the eyes of the elves were very good at night, but they underestimated Tyrande's vision. Moreover, they had tried to use the fortress as a defense from the hand axes and spears thrown from the ballista as they rushed out. However, they were surprised to learn that the obstacle had been removed by the Orcs at night. In fact, Xiao Yu had ordered the Orcs earlier to get rid of the obstacles by using the night as cover. The enemy did not approach the area for fear of long-distance ballistas.
As a result, thousands of hand axes were crushed like a torrential rain to the enemy in the initial attack. A group of people who were in front turned to meat paste. They could choose to retreat if it was before. But this time they would make the final attack so they continued to charge forward. That was why they faced the spears that were thrown from 50 ballistas.
This time Xiao Yu ordered the orcs to go out instead of taking turns. Because at night it doesn't matter if they recharge the ballista immediately. The other side had already rushed over with quick steps. Moreover, the enemy did not plan to retreat so the tactics they used before were useless at this moment.
Tactics and strategies should be used at the right time and location. They cannot be rigid using the same tactics on all terrains and times.
Because hand axes and ballistas over 1000 enemy soldiers were killed. They have less than 100 left. But they continued forward without fear. The Orcs made another unexpected move. They did not face the enemy but dropped the ballista and retreated.
The enemy did not have time to think about the reason why the orcs were acting that way. They can only charge. That was their last chance. However, as they rushed up the slope, they discovered that the obstacle had been reset behind the previous location of the orc. The enemy planned to use a 10-man formation but they had to use one-on-one combat due to the new obstacle design.
…
…
It was so dark. Neither the enemy nor the orcs could see each other. They could determine whether the person they were fighting was an orc or a human because of the blurred shadow. Orcs are higher than humans so they are not afraid to fight against themselves. The Orcs would rampage as long as they saw the silhouette in front of them. Eventually, all the enemies were killed and only Orcs remained. There were some orcs that were seriously injured but no one was killed.
The Orcs began to respect Xiao Yu more than ever after this victory.
It was a victory they had gained after thousands of years of losing. Their confidence in Xiao Yu increased. In fact, Xiao Yu had the image of a War God in their minds.
Moreover, the relationship between Grom and Xiao Yu was also reflected in their minds.
Xiao Yu sighed as he watched the three thousand horses roaming the wilderness. It was war. In war there is no right or wrong.
There will be more war ahead. Right now, he could understand why Qin was trying to unite China with war. It's to bring peace. He could achieve peace on this continent just by uniting it. But the road will be paved with blood and flesh.
…
…
Xiao Yu ordered his people to move towards the Lion city as quickly as possible.
Leah couldn't help but wonder: “Why did you slow down for a few days? Why do you want to move so fast so suddenly? There will be another enemy in front.”
Xiao Yu replied: “Of course, I am aware that there will be other enemies in our path. Not just Duke Simm but others who dreamed of having elves, orcs, dragons, and so on. However, by staying here for days, their strategy had been disrupted. Now, we have to move as fast as possible so we can go beyond their expectations and let them off guard. They won't have time to re-deploy their troops.”
Leah did not speak for half a day after listening to Xiao Yu. He discovered that the gap between him and Xiao Yu in terms of military strategy was like the gap between a midget high and a giant.
"This hooligan is a capable man." Leah confessed in her heart.
They were moving at full speed but Xiao Yu was not completely moving blindly. He gets Tyrande and Leah to stay ahead and act like scouts to prevent them from getting caught up in an enemy ambush.
Tyrande and Leah were tired lately, but they were key people in the team so both did their best in intelligence gathering. Otherwise, Xiao Yu would be in a suicidal situation if they were caught in an ambush.
It was true that many were willing to ambush them on the way back to the Lion town. However, as Xiao Yu expected, most of the troops retreated when they saw that Xiao Yu had not come. Even the patient one lost his temper after two weeks of waiting. The enemies sent scouts for intelligence gathering but Tyrande killed them most of the time.
In addition, the scout search range is limited. Xiao Yu had stayed at the location before for a while. It's a hard place to find. Xiao Yu had chosen a quiet place to stay for a few days. If they lived in a city or village then the Orcs would attract the attention of the residents. However, he did not make that mistake.
Moreover, when the enemy wanted to re-deploy their troops, they discovered that Xiao Yu had passed by. Moreover, the news of the 3000 light cavalry troops being annihilated was widespread and far-reaching. It was true that the cavalry troops did not hang banners and acted as bandits but even a fool could guess which troops sent them.
…
…
Some scouts had come to see the slope where the battle took place between the cavalry and the Orc Xiao Yu.
What kind of record made 500 orcs kill 3000 cavalry soldiers without loss? Moreover, Xiao Yu's tactic of staying for so long at this location had left many people unfathomable.
…
…
Even Orcs felt tired after days of continuous traveling nonstop. But at this point it was extremely difficult for the enemy forces to chase after Xiao Yu.
Now that they had lost the opportunity to ambush Xiao Yu's army, there was no point in chasing after them.
…
…
They were about two or three days away from the Lion city when Xiao Yu allowed everyone to rest and continue on tomorrow's journey.
Orcs are tough. After a break they could recover their strength. Xiao Yu was also not afraid of the enemy. The number would be less even if there would be people chasing after him.
Xiao Yu knew that ordinary soldiers would not pursue them but some assassins and strong warriors would definitely chase after them to attack if they found a chance.
At night, Xiao Yu ordered the Orcs to burn down the entire camp. Moreover, he ordered the Orcs to attack the soldiers with the previous training they had done. He knew that orcs would be useless against assassins or strong warriors in close combat. But throwing a hand axe would make those enemies suffer.
That night, several assassins and soldiers came to attack the camp. Their goal was to kill Xiao Yu and steal the dragon and Tyrande. Those people liked the life of the dragon, Tyrande, and Xiao Yu compared to the evil Orcs.
But they did not know that xiao Yu was ready for such an attack. He held the baby dragon in his hand while Tyrande remained near Xiao Yu's carriage. As a result, the orc hand axes killed 5 assassins and 7 soldiers that night. There were three second rank assassins and the rest were third rank soldiers.
However, the enemies did not attack one by one but chose to attack in groups. The hand axes of the Orcs are much more 'productive' in this regard. The fact proved that xiao Yu's idea of using hand axes against the soldiers was very useful.
The soldiers could rely on their battle energy to fight that axe if they had reached the 4th or 5th rank. But no enemy of such a level attacked them.
Moreover, Xiao Yu planned to use all 50 ballistas to fight a fourth or fifth rank warrior. IF the hand axe does not work then the spear from the ballista will work!
The next night the number of enemies trying to attack reduced but the 'quality' of the enemy increased.
Finally a fourth rank warrior appeared!
"I'm too valuable .." Xiao Yu muttered.
This fourth rank warrior relied on his strong battle energy and speed to directly go to Xiao Yu's carriage. He stabbed the sword towards Xiao Yu. However, it was discovered that Xiao Yu was leaving at the same time.
He didn't disappear but. teleport!
The fourth rank warrior felt uneasy as he watched Xiao Yu teleport.
"Who is this guy? How could he teleport? ”
Grom attacked the soldier. However, he was not an opponent of a fourth rank warrior. The soldier was not interested after Xiao Yu disappeared. So he got off the train but found that nothing was blocking him. Instead the road was made for him to leave. The soldier did not want to take the extra risk and move as fast as he could. But he immediately heard a whistle echoing behind him.
He turned to look at the black spots covering the sky. He knew he had reached the end of his life.
As a fourth rank warrior, he was not afraid of the spears fired from the ballista. He could escape one or two and use his sword to fend off the other two or three. But he could not fight against hundreds of them!
“Cut off his head and hang in front of my train! Let everyone see what happens to the people who dare to kill me!”
Xiao Yu knew that this exercise would be useful. Most people knew how strong a fourth rank warrior was. As a result, the other enemies retreated when they saw such a scene. The gift is tempting but their lives are more important!
After two days of travel they saw the outline of the Lion town from afar.
“Finally back home.”
