World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination

Chapter 36
Captain Hui is involved in training new recruits. Due to the new laws implemented by Xiao Yu, the city soldiers would get good treatment, high salaries, pensions for their families if they died, lifetime tax exempt, and so on. This was in terms of stimulating the youth to join the army in large numbers.
Currently, Captain Hui had over 1000 soldiers. But they were all beginners with no real combat experience. That was why Captian Hui trained them to become qualified warriors as soon as possible. They used the armor and weapons that Xiao Yu had robbed from the bandits as his equipment.
All the soldiers immediately stopped their training when Xiao Yu stepped onto the field. Captain Hui led the soldiers as they saluted Xiao Yu. Captain Hui was very strict against military standards and norms as a professional soldier.
The soldiers looked at Xiao Yu with respect and adoration reflected in their eyes.
They had all seen the freed slaves and bandits captured in the morning. Their master had gone out and brought so many items casually. They were full of confidence about the future of the region under the leadership of such a lord.
Xiao Yu smiled and waved to the soldiers to continue practicing. He called captain Hui.
"Uncle Hui, what's the situation with Carrie?" Xiao Yu asked. Captain Hui was responsible for inquiring the news about Carrie.
In fact, it wasn't too difficult to gather intelligence about the state of Carrie's forces. The territory ruled by Carrie's father did not experience many wars so their anti-intelligence system was not well structured. You can learn whatever you want as long as you send some people disguised as members of the caravan.
“Master, according to the intelligence sent by the spy Carrie was given an army of 20,000 soldiers. They had a heavy infantry, about 5 witches, over 30 soldiers. They can attack us at any time but Carrie wants to show her power and pressure us so that the information is not confidential and can be easily learned by our spies. Carrie has claimed that she will behead all the Orcs and take them back as decoration.”
Captain Hui stood still as he reported to Xiao Yu. He showed respect to Xiao Yu which meant that he recognized Xiao Yu as the ruler of the territory. Previously Captain Hui considered Xiao Yu a young master but it seemed that the situation had changed after Xiao Yu's achievements.
Captain Hui recognized Xiao Yu as the ruler due to the implementation of his policies and the plundering of the bandits. He believed that the Lion town would flourish and flourish under the leadership of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu smiled as he listened to Captain Hui: "Let them come and deliver the equipment to us!"
Captain Hui saw a carefree expression on Xiao Yu's face: “Master, this time the troops that Carrie led were not trivial. I thought it would be difficult to fight the heavy infantry with the orc army. According to history, humans have always managed to defeat orcs in large-scale wars when they used heavy infantry. Normally, an orc could fight against up to five elite human soldiers without any problems. If you think about the tactics and strategies used by the orcs then an orc could fight against 10 human soldiers. However, the tide of the battle changed as the heavy infantry got into the war. There would be mutual damage even if 1000 orcs fought against 1000 heavy infantry. If the same army used heavy cavalry then they would have more certainty of winning against the Orcs. Carrie's army also has witches and they will carry equipment for the siege.
Xiao Yu understood that Captain Hui was worried about the lack of gunmen in the Lion town. However, Xiao Yu was not worried as his army did not only consist of grunts. He had all kinds of warriors plus Glaive Throwers and Demolishers. As long as he chose the right strategy then he believed killing 20,000 soldiers would not be a problem.
Archers had Precise Shooting skills that they could use after reaching level 3 which could deal with heavy infantry by shooting straight into their eyes. The armor used by the heavy infantry could cover their bodies. However, their eyes were always open on the archer's arrow which was their weakness.
Moreover, due to Tyrande's Trueshot Aura, the archer's strength and range also increased. Moreover, Xiao Yu had a shooter, a bachelor, a Glaive Thrower, a Destroyer. Carrie did not expect any of these new powers and they would play a big surprise when Xiao Yu would introduce them to the battlefield.
Xiao Yu was very confident with his own army. However, Captain Hui's speech also caught his attention. He had no interest in the strength of Carrie's army but in the word history. Because Carrie had provided precise information about the humans who used heavy infantry to fight the orcs. Does that mean a war has broken out between humans and Orcs?
“Uncle Hui, is there an orc kingdom or fairy kingdom in history? Did humans really defeat the Orcs?” Xiao Yu took advantage of this opportunity to ask Captain Hui about the history that he did not have much information about.
Captain Hui was puzzled as he replied Xiao Yu: “Master, knowledge of this can be found in the book. You don't like to read so you don't know the history. Orcs have a powerful kingdom under their leader Thrall. They were very prosperous but their gods disappeared for no reason and the Orc Empire began to decline. The elves are also very strong. They are present almost on every mountain but their Tree of Life is destroyed and they start to decline as well.”
Xiao Yu mused: “So Thrall is the god of the Orcs while Tyrande is known as the goddess of the elves. Does that mean I'm in Azeroth? Why did that change happen? Why did the continent of Azeroth change like this?”
Xiao Yu understood that something had happened in Azeroth's history and in order to unlock the tie and find the mystery he had to have a lot of time.
"I have to read some books." Xiao Yu whispered.
“Alright, Uncle Hui. You have to train the soldiers and I will handle the defense of the city when the time comes. Carrie will eat a big loss this time. Don't forget! I was chosen by the God of Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves as the king of kings! I'll handle Carrie that very easily.”
Xiao Yu smirked as he used his theory to comfort Captain Hui.
Captian Hui of course did not believe Xiao Yu's words. The gods had to be blind to choose Xiao Yu as the king of the kind!
However, he saw the confident tone and look of Xiao Yu. He thought that there might be a way to win the victory. The last time Xiao Yu brought orcs to defeat 5000 soldiers. Perhaps, he would make another miracle this time as well?
IF they could defeat Carrie's 20,000 soldiers then there would be no more attacks on the Lion town. This way the territory could rise and develop step by step!
And the key to everything was to withstand the oncoming large-scale attacks.
