Chapter 55
The full moon hung in the sky and a silvery ray of light fell to the earth. Xiao Yu had come to Carrie's father's territory with Death Knight Arthas, dozens of ghosts and dozens of shadows to disturb the civilians.
Carrie's territory was not close to Xiao Yu's territory. It took them a day's journey to reach that place. Moreover, Xiao Yu had decided to wait until night to begin the abuse.
The development and infrastructure in Carrie's father's territory was much larger than Xiao Yu's territory. Xiao Yu only had one large city that was the size of a city but with a smaller population. However, Carrie's father managed to build villages and towns all over his own territory.
Xiao Yu did not plan on going to the capital to look for trouble. He believed that it was enough to disturb the residents living in the villages. There were dozens of villages and small towns around their capital. If he could start a massive migration of these villages and towns then the plan was successful.
Moreover, he planned to kill one or two soldiers they encountered to give a better effect to his propaganda. Nevertheless, Xiao Yu forbade ghosts and shadows to kill innocent people.
…
…
It was night time and they reached a village that had about 100 families. Most of them were farmers and because of daylight all the families fell asleep. Sometimes, you can hear the barking of a dog or the sound of an animal.
"Imitate the ghostly voice!" Xiao Yu ordered ghosts and shadows.
Krek~ Krek~
Ghouls started to emit otherworldly sounds while shadows started to mimic human voices.
“Carrie..Carrie.. We came for your life..”.
Xiao Yu had ordered the Shades to learn to speak like humans. They can make statements that sound very horrible.
It was part of Xiao Yu's territory. He wanted to make sure that the residents living in the village understood that Carrie's father's territory had attracted ghosts and demons. He plans to pressure Carrie's father to behead Carrie or find other ways to appease the population. No matter which choice Carrie's father made, the situation would not benefit them.
Ghouls cannot speak but Shades is able to imitate human voices as they transform into Acolytes. Xiao Yu ordered them to use stealth mode and stand by the window of the house to speak in a creepy voice.
“Carrie.. You have killed countless young girls and eaten.
Xiao Yu smiled as he listened to the nuances.
He instills unreal accusations on Carrie, his brother and father.
“Carrie you killed 500 13-year-old girls and gave their meat to the residents to eat..
“Carrie..I'm here for your head..”.
“Carrie.. Everyone in this region should die..”.
“Death Knight came from Hell to avenge us!…Death Knight will kill everyone.. Revenge.
At the same time, Arthas would ride his horse inside the village. The moans, hisses, and claws of Arthas' death charge will echo. Those who look out of the window will see a burning horse and Arthas. They would snuggle back to their beds in fear.
Xiao Yu instructed the ghosts to kill the dogs and chickens to create a tense atmosphere.
“Carrie..Death Knight will avenge us...for all those you have killed..”.
“Run... Leave this cursed land... or you will be killed..my head....” The shadows scream around the village. One of them created an illusion as if he was a villager and ran away.
Xiao Yu disrupted a total of 4 villages in one night. No one dared to go out because people were shivering in fear in their homes.
He takes Arthas, ghosts and shadows to the nearby forest to hide in the daytime to start everything at night once again. He did not want undead creatures to be seen during the day. Xiao Yu sneaked into the villages to see the results of his campaign during the day. He had yet to enter the village when he found a large number of farmers who had gathered their belongings to leave the village. Xiao Yu walked over.
"What the hell is going on? Where are you all going?” Xiao Yu scratched his head as he asked.
"Where? Anywhere but here! You're not a local, so let me tell you boys! If you don't leave this place, you'll die tonight. A death knight from hell has come to avenge Carrie, so run for your life!”
The man ran away without answering Xiao Yu's next question.
Xiao Yu had a proud smile on his face as he looked at the busy people.
….
…
Xiao Yu went to disturb the other villages the next night. This time the patrol team came to guard the village. It seems Carrie's father has sent a team to gather intelligence about the situation. In addition, the patrol will stabilize the fear of the population.
Xiao Yu saw that his unit was small and consisted of less than 30 soldiers. He waved at Arthas so that the knights of death would lead the ghouls to kill them.
Death Knight is at level 4 and possesses the following skills: Death Coil (lvl 2), Death Pact (level 1) and Animate the Dead (level 1).
The Death Coil skill could kill enemies and recover the wounds of ghouls. The Death Pact skill was capable of recovering the HP of a Death Knight. Animate the Dead is capable of summoning the dead from another world as zombies. It was good enough to cause panic in the village. People would be scared to death when they saw their own relatives move as zombies.
The soldiers are ambushed by Arthas and the ghosts. Their spirits descended as they saw the evil spirits and the creatures they heard from the legends. Everyone would be scared when facing the undead. That's an instinctive reason.
Xiao Yu was able to hone his own skills after various battles. He is able to perfectly synchronize the wind walk, and the omnislash skill to kill enemies.
It was inevitable for him to participate on the battlefield even though he was a commander. Moreover, his legs did not become soft as he looked at the blood again.
The real battle between life and death is the perfect training ground. As a result, Xiao Yu was already a qualified warrior. Nevertheless, he was a sissy child compared to Grom and the other heroes.
It took less than ten seconds to kill over twenty soldiers. The soldiers were terrified as they looked at Arthas' mount. Moreover, frostmourne was a weapon they could not resist. The sword of Arthas is not just a runeblade. It wasn't frostmourne but its shape was very familiar. The runeblade damage was not high at first so Xiao Yu had upgraded it. Fortunately, all the blacksmiths had risen to level 2 so frostmourne was extremely sharp after the upgrade. Xiao Yu ordered the ghouls to bite the flesh of the dead soldiers and tie them to the trees for more effect in the morning.
…
…
Xiao Yu was able to disturb most villages and towns within a few days. The population began to migrate en masse from the territory of Carrie's father. Most of the migrants chose to go to the Lion town because Xiao Yu had sent people to promote his own territory first.
The lion city was not too far from this region. Moreover, people knew that the lord of the Lion town had defeated Carrie's forces and Xiao Yu had great prestige in the region. Moreover, most of the people did not come out of their village for life. So they did not know much about the outside world and only knew a few areas close to their village.
However, after several days of abuse, Carrie's father began sending countless soldiers as patrols to kill the undead. In addition, it was whispered that Carrie's father had sent people to the Kingdom of Wei to search for paladins and priests from the Church of Light.
The Church of Holy Light was a religious place but on the other hand they were fighting against undead beings.
Xiao Yu had to return to the Lion town to prepare for the journey. He left ghosts and shadows on Arthas' leadership.
However, Xiao Yu made some strict orders that Arthas had to apply at all costs. The first and foremost commandment is that the undead must not kill innocent citizens. They had to choose soldiers but not ordinary people. The second order is that they cannot act too aggressively. Arthas had to send a shadow for investigation before going to any village. The third sequence is to have a delay between attacks. The last and most important commandment is for Arthas to defend his own life at all costs. If Arthas sees that the situation is unfavorable then he must escape. The Deathcharger was such a fast horse that Xiao Yu believed that Arthas should be able to escape.
After which, he returned to the Lion town to prepare for a meeting with the Wang family.
