Chapter 47
More than 10,000 troops began the assault which resulted in some soldiers being able to seize a small spot from the wall. However, grunts invaded again and again to take back part of the wall.
Due to the continuous slaughter, the bodies of the grunts were dyed blood red. The green skin was covered with the blood of their enemies.
At first glance, it seems that the bujang did not have much of a role in this war compared to the grunts. However, the unique skills of the bachelors also play a big role in the outcome. First and foremost, the bachelors were the first line of defense from the wall that protected the grunts and archers from the arrow shot. Second, they had used their shields and bodies to protect elf archers from enemies capable of pressing up against walls. Third, the bachelors always set up a formation to block the Carrie soldiers when they managed to break through and seize part of the wall.
Warriors of each race have their own advantages and disadvantages. Bujang were weaker than the grunts in the attack but their detailed defensive formation was above the grunts ability.
At this point, the bachelors' armor was low-level equipment. In the future, Xiao Yu could upgrade and upgrade their armor so that they could reach a heavy infantry level army. This way they would be much stronger than any heavy infantry troops in the world.
Archers are the champions of this battle. Due to Trueshot Aura Tyrande, their abilities were also enhanced. They were the ones who had killed most of the enemies. The shooters are also very good. They did not kill as many enemies as elf archers but they were indispensable in defeating and suppressing enemy witches.
It was because the shooter rather than the enemy magician could do nothing. Otherwise, the witches could play a big role in slaughtering the grunts. It could be said that the shooter was the protector of the grunts in this battle. Hunters ride their leopards back and forth the walls. They will help kill the enemy, help the grunts in maintaining position on the walls and act as a moving aid.
All the soldiers did their best. However, it was Xiao Yu's commanding ability that brought them victory.
The enemy side had no catapults or ballistas, so Xiao Yu focused the Glaive crushers and throwers to kill the enemy soldiers. The Ten Destroyers will throw at the same time. The stones will stumble turning enemy soldiers into meat pies.
…
…
Carrie's army casualties had reached 15,000 but they were unable to break through either from the wall or from the gate. They had over 4,000 soldiers left on the battlefield but all the soldiers including the commanders were mentally exhausted.
The soldiers were furious on Xiao Yu's side but at the same time, they did not plan to fight forever. Carrie's promise of wealth, glory, and beauty has been lost because it doesn't mean much at this point.
Xiao Yu was able to withstand the hardest part of the battle. The enemy had no heavy weaponry and could not attack the top of the wall or threaten the city. However, they still continued to attack forwards.
…
…
“Carri! Be a man! Your army is still here! Where'd you run? Are you a boy or not?” Xiao Yu shouted out loudly.
Carrie's army was already exhausted so most of the soldiers turned to check on Carrie's carriage as soon as they heard Xiao Yu's words. Carrie wasn't there!
From the beginning of the war, Carrie stood on a carriage and watched the battle. But now Carrie is gone. Apparently, he had entered the carriage to escape.
The soldiers began to panic when they saw that their leader had disappeared. The last trace of desire in their hearts was gone and slowly but surely the soldiers turned to flee.
…
…
In fact, Carrie had no plans to escape. Instead, he had entered the carriage to put on his armor. He had decided to participate in the war. The problem was that he could not escape even if he wanted to. As a result, he decided to personally join the war to inspire his soldiers. He was planning to defeat Xiao Yu and needed a final push to break through the city.
The situation got out of hand as Carrie got off the train. He could no longer control the retreating soldiers in groups. The situation was on the verge and Xiao Yu's words were the trigger that brought about destruction.
"Cursue! Chase!" Xiao Yu shouted while standing on the wall.
This retreat is unlike any previous retreat. Carrie's troops had previously retreated while maintaining formation. That was why Xiao Yu did not dare to send his soldiers to that soldier. However, now that he had lost over 15,000 soldiers, Carrie's troops only ran back as fast as they could.
Grunts began to descend from the walls to lead the attack. The hunters were on the wings while the gunners and archers were behind. They'll kill anyone they can.
Grunts brought the Glaive Thrower and launched it occasionally.
…
…
"No way! How can we get into such a situation?” Carrie shouted like a madman when she saw the retreating troops.
“Master, we have to go! I know God's punishment will be severe but it's better than facing death here!” Carrie's military adviser, Dotu, grabs Carrie's hand as she suggests.
Carrie watched her retreating troops and saw Xiao Yu's troops who were behind them chasing. Tears flowed in his eyes as he clenched his teeth.
"Let's go" Carrie made her choice.
Carrie's about to run away. Perhaps he would not even return to his own territory.
Usually, he was a brave young master. However, he felt his hands tremble as he saw orcs chasing his troops and approaching his position. He was the son of the ruler of a territory and because of his constant protection, he had never been in such a situation. He had never felt death a few steps away from himself. Right now, he was looking at the Orcs and knew what real fear was.
The train turned and started to leave. There was a magic array drawn on the carriage by a magician so that the carriage went fast and smooth.
Xiao Yu had no cavalry so he knew that it would be very difficult to chase after Carrie. However, he did not think that he would be able to kill Carrie on the battlefield. Moreover, even if Carrie could regain her life would not be good for the rest of her days.
After this, Xiao Yu knew that Carrie's father would not be able to send someone to attack for a long time. It will give him the opportunity to recuperate, grow, develop, and rise.
The Grunts chased them for up to ten miles and killed over 1000 soldiers. Carrie's soldiers were much more than their enemies but no one planned a counterattack but focused on escape.
Xiao Yu ordered his soldiers to stop. There was a touch of a smile on his face as he looked at the fleeing soldiers. This victory will lay the foundation of his future hegemony. The Lion City was no longer a small territory. He plans to create an empire and expand it to unite the world.
…
…
It was just then that the sun was setting and the radiance of sunlight fell onto Xiao Yu's body. The grunts, elves, dwarves, and the others around him formed a unique picture.
A famous painter would draw this scene after a long time and would call this picture "The Rise of the King!"
