Chapter 12 Pre-War Preparations

The Elven War Ancient Tree also produced an archer in half an hour, and a total of more than 40 archers were produced in two days.

Now that Tyrande's level is just level 1, Xiao Yu plans to take Tyrande to upgrade first, so that the hero can be more powerful.

The skills that Tyrande can now learn are: Scorching Arrow (up to level 3), Eagle Eye (up to level 2), Multiple Arrow (up to level 3), Beast Mind (up to level 3).

The Scorching Arrow relies on Tyrande's spell energy to send out a feathered arrow with fire, causing powerful damage, a bit like a rocket.

Eagle Eye is the ability to observe enemies from a distance, and can give a precision bonus to shooting.

Multi Arrows are the ones that can shoot multiple feathered arrows at once.

The beast's mind can communicate with some beasts, tame them to fight for themselves, or you can direct the tamed beasts to fight, communicate with their own hearts, improve the fighting ability of the beast, and lend part of their energy to the beast.

In addition to these skills, Tyrande also has a built-in skill, which is Shadow Escape, which can dive into the shadows without being detected by the enemy.

This shadow escape is a universal skill that all night elves have, however, this shadow escape is not completely invisible, but under certain conditions, it can hide itself to a certain extent.

If there were no buildings or shadows in the sun in broad daylight, they wouldn't be able to hide. Stealth is only possible in the presence of shadows, or at night.

Xiao Yu first added the Eagle Eye technique to Tyrande, because this skill is very practical, which can not only reconnoiter the enemy's situation, but also increase the accuracy of shooting and increase damage.

Xiao Yu directly took Tyrande to find a gang of bandits to escalate the trouble this time, unlike the Sword Master who only killed a few little monsters to upgrade at the beginning.

Now that he has soldiers and strength, he is naturally full of confidence.

According to Zhao Hu's report, this time he attacked a small bandit den of only more than 100 people, and two hundred orc soldiers directly surrounded him, and then let Tyrande shoot arrows directly to kill.

As soon as these little bandits saw so many orcs, they had already panicked and ran in all directions, and Tyrande stood on the shoulders of an orc, condescending, shooting arrow by arrow quickly, and harvesting dozens of lives in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yu stood underneath the orc carrying Tyrande, and then his eyes secretly looked up. As a result, Tyrande pointed an arrow at his eye, and Xiao Yu was immediately too frightened to look at it again.

These guys were constantly shot by Tyrande one by one, and there was no escape, and they had a direct nervous breakdown, and finally surrendered directly.

Xiao Yu didn't rush to kill them all, tied them all up, and brought them back as slaves. They have been bandits for so long, they have done more or less bad things, and it is too cheap to let them go.

After Xiao Yu's interrogation, the bandit leader found that he had a lot of bad deeds, and had done some hurtful things such as raping women, so Xiao Yu directly ordered Tyrande to shoot him to death with an arrow.

After ending this bandit den, Tyrande's level has reached level 3, and Xiao Yu has learned him a scorching arrow, a multi-arrow, and three skills, and Tyrande is also very NB.

After searching this bandit's den, Xiao Yu was depressed and only got more than 2,000 gold coins. Zhao Hu explained that not every robber's den is so rich. The reason why their owner is rich is because he happened to rob a rich merchant, so he has more than 10,000 gold coins, and the two bandits are relatively powerful and lucky, so they only have more than 20,000 gold coins. This is already considered a petty bourgeoisie among bandits, and it is very NB for ordinary bandits to have four or five thousand gold coins.

Xiao Yu was depressed for a while, and continued to suppress the bandits with many orc soldiers.

In just ten days, almost all the bandits in this area were taken to their nests by Xiao Yu, their family property was confiscated, and those who did not die were tied back to be slaves and cut wood in the orc camp.

The elves are above the top, so they don't want these filthy human bandits.

Through the continuous suppression of bandits in the past few days, the orc soldiers have basically reached level 2, and a larger individual is stronger and stronger, and an axe can chop a stone down. Grom is at level 6 at this point, and Tyrande is at level 5.

Grom's current skills are: Wind Walk (level 1), Invincible Slash (level 2), and Critical Strike (level 3).

Tyrande's current skills are: Scorching Arrow (Level 2), Eagle Eye (Level 1), Multiple Arrow (Level 2).

Xiao Yu calculated the time, Karui was almost going to bring troops over, and now his strength added up to five hundred, so there should be no problem in dealing with Kalu's thousands of soldiers. After all, these classes aren't ordinary classes.

Xiao Yu was looking forward to that big battle in his heart, this was a great practice to test these Warcraft troops.

Because he scavenged some more money, Xiao Yu first built a blacksmith shop, preparing to produce some equipment for these orc buddies to wear.

But the price of producing weapons and armor still made Xiao Yu startled, in the absence of steel and other materials, simply buying a piece of orc's first-class armor in a blacksmith shop costs 200 gold coins, and a first-level axe costs 50 gold coins, this Xiao Yu is angry to scold the street, buying equipment is more expensive than buying soldiers, and it is hard to make some money, and it will be gone again in a blink of an eye.

In this case, an orc soldier would have to spend 250 gold coins to be able to arm a first-level armor, and if he was a 200 soldier, he would have to have 50,000, and poor Xiao Yu had to rob a lot. After struggling for more than half a month, there were less than 50,000 gold coins in total.

In the end, Xiao Yu just bought a hundred sets first, and then produced some first. Because the other money has to be used for other purposes, the orcs still have to produce a lot of orc caves, and the elves have to build moon wells, otherwise they have nowhere to go, and they will be in trouble if they starve to death.

What made Xiao Yu relieved was that the first-level blacksmith shop could already upgrade the sword of the Sword Master, and the previous broken sword was really bad.

After upgrading, the sword suddenly shines brightly, and it looks like it has a chill, and its attack power reaches 14-23, which is much stronger than the original one.

"That's right, it's buying scrap steel." Xiao Yu issued this order in the territory, it was too expensive to buy equipment just by relying on gold coins, and now Xiao Yu realized the difficulty of raising troops.

Why is it said that fighting a war is fighting money, now Xiao Yu has a deep understanding. This is still purchased directly through the game's blacksmith shop, and if you want to build a set of full-body armor worn by a big man like an orc in reality, it is estimated that it will be more. Because they're so big, there's so much to wrap around.

When the first set of armor was created, Xiao Yu was quite satisfied with it, although there was no additional effect, but at least the key parts were protected, and the iron pieces were quite thick. Such orc soldiers can be regarded as truly having combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it is completely dependent on the body to resist, even if the skin of the orc is thick, it will be easily hacked to death.

It's just that to make armor, the blacksmith shop also needs orc hard work, otherwise it will take a few days for a hard worker to build a set.

There was no way, Xiao Yu bought two hundred orc laborers again to build armor, and it ended up spending another sum of money.

However, Xiao Yu bought it for a long time, but found that it was difficult to buy steel, because in this bitter cold land in the northwest, steel and other materials were extremely scarce.

His action made the fourth sister-in-law Xue Sha scold her fiercely. A few days ago, Xiao Yu peeked at her taking a bath, although she didn't catch it, but she decided that it must be him, and she also held her breath in her heart, and took this opportunity to scold him for being angry.

"Tell me about you, you have nothing to do to buy steel, it's just that you're full, Karui is going to call in a few days, and you're still doing these boring things here. Didn't you run? Why are you coming back? Xue Sha was dressed in a military uniform, carrying a sword, sassy and heroic, pinching her waist and pointing at Xiao Yu's nose and scolding, it was indeed full of momentum.

Xiao Yu was scolded for being bloody, and said aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law, I am here to buy steel to build weapons to protect you, how can you scold me like this." ”

"Do you still have the face to say, if you hadn't lost the fifth sister, would Karui have brought someone to fight? Besides, if you buy any steel, will you be able to defeat Karui's army? Didn't you go and run for your life sooner and wait here for death? The Xiao family is now left with you as a lone seedling, if you die, are you worthy of your father? "Xue Sha scolded people one by one, so that Xiao Yu was powerless. Although she scolded like this, she was actually persuading Xiao Yu to escape, so as to leave a little blood for the Xiao family. From this, it can be seen that this fierce fourth sister-in-law on the surface is actually very kind in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I now have a way to defeat Karui, I went out a few days ago and hired a mercenary to come back, they can help us defeat Karui." Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and said confidently.

However, when he said this, no one believed that in such a short period of time, where could a group of mercenaries be gathered to defeat Karui. What's more, Xiao Yu in the past was a master who lied and didn't blink his eyes.

To hire a mercenary army that can defeat Karui, there must be at least two or three thousand people, but at this cost, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins must be willing to die.

Now the finances of the lion king's territory have really bottomed out.

"Young master, you better go, if you have the heart, wait for the opportunity in the future, and then avenge us." At this time, the old housekeeper Xiao Hong also came over and said with a sigh to Xiao Yu.

He always thought that Xiao Yu was about to leave, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yu had been running for more than half a month, but he never left.

Looking at Xiao Hong's desperate eyes, Xiao Yu sighed slightly, knowing that Xiao Hong refused to believe that he had a way to defeat Karui no matter what, and immediately said: "Uncle Hong, don't worry, I said that if I can protect the Lion King Collar, I will definitely be able to." ”

At this time, a soldier brought in something.

"War letters? This Karui really thinks of himself as a character, and he actually sent a war letter. Xiao Yu looked at the war book handed over by the soldier and laughed disdainfully.

"Tell him that if you want to fight, you will fight. Lao Tzu is waiting for him here. Xiao Yu snorted coldly and gave the messenger a reply.

"Young master, you'd better leave quickly." At this time, Xiao Hong, the old housekeeper, and Long Hui, the leader of the guards, were all persuading Xiao Yu on the side.

In the past few days, Xiao Hong and Long Hui have tried their best to let Xiao Yu and a few young ladies leave, but none of them left.

Xiao Yu even coaxed to say that he wanted to live and die with the lion king and be a real man.

This made the old housekeeper anxious for a while, if Xiao Yu had such an awakening, it would have been better if he had come to this point. If Xiao Yu died, how could he have the face to go underground to see Xiao Zhantian.

The date of the decisive battle was set for three days later, and Xiao Yu had already made plans early, looking at the 200 orc infantry and 200 elven archers that had been trained, as well as 100 elven hunters, Xiao Yu was full of confidence in victory.

After a period of conquest, all 200 orc infantry have reached level 2, and nearly half of the elven archers have reached level 2. Those 100 elf hunters were weak in defense, Xiao Yu was afraid that they would die too easily, so they didn't have much use, they were only useful when pursuing, and less than a third of them reached level 2.

However, the main forces defending the city this time were orc infantry and elven archers, and these elven hunters did not have much effect for the time being.

Level 2 orc soldiers, half of whom are also equipped with level 1 armor and weapons, are absolutely easy to deal with twice as many people. Coupled with the archery skills of the elven archers, even if the other party comes with four or five thousand people, as long as they defend the city, there will be no big problem.

"The archers even pay for their arrows?" Xiao Yu yelled at the system. Originally, there was a shortage of money now, and the orc soldiers only got a hundred sets of armor, and now they even cost money to shoot arrows, which is too unreasonable.

Fortunately, the price is not very expensive, you can buy a bag for 5 gold coins, and a bag of 20 arrows is quite acceptable. In addition to the money required for these arrows, the wear and tear repair of soldiers' weapons and equipment also cost money, and after a major war, the repair cost was quite a lot.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to build another miracle ancient tree, so that he could upgrade the armor, bows and arrows of these elven archers, but seeing the price of 20,000 gold coins and the merit value of 1,000 points, Xiao Yu still gave up.

This is just to build an ancient tree, and if you upgrade one of them, you will get tens of thousands of gold coins. The further you go, the more money you need.

The first base is cheaper to buy buildings such as a blacksmith shop, but when you get to the second base, it starts to be expensive.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and during these three days, Long Hui mobilized the remaining more than 400 soldiers of the Lion King Leader, preparing to fight to the death.

However, knowing that it was a certain defeat, these soldiers did not have any fighting spirit, and the shadow of defeat shrouded everyone's hearts.

Although Xiao Yu had already said that he would hire a team of mercenaries, they were just talking nonsense as Xiao Yu. The truth in Xiao Yu's mouth has never been a few words.

The old butler Xiao Hong put on a brand-new dress on this day, looked at the sky, and muttered: "Lord Lord, the old slave is loyal." Today, the city is broken, and the old slave is dead, but he has not been able to take care of the young master and several young ladies, and the old slave is ashamed. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Hong was in tears.

Xiao Yu's eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and fifth sister-in-law sat together, looking at a pot of fresh juice. This is their favorite honey juice, which they haven't drunk for a long time because of the financial constraints of the territory.

Today's pot is the last pot they can drink, and the poison has been placed in it, and when they see the blood seal, they just wait for the territory to be broken and drink it together.

The fourth sister-in-law, Xuesha, was dressed in a military uniform, her eyes were cold, and she stepped on the city wall early, ready to fight to the death.

But, on the morning of that day, with the sound of neat footsteps, an army marched into the castle.

At the beginning, Long Hui thought that Kalu's army had come over and was ready to fight, but when he saw Xiao Yu walking in front, Long Hui was stunned.

"This ...... What's going on? Could it really be the mercenaries he hired? Where did this loser hire so many mercenaries, and what conditions did he pay? ”

These mercenaries looked very strange, each of them was covered with a huge cloak, the front team was tall and large, each of them was more than two meters tall, and they looked extremely strong soldiers, while the back team was very slender and looked very well-proportioned, and they all carried delicately carved bows and arrows on their backs.

At the front of this procession, there was a man who was also riding on a white leopard, and only a pair of eyes were visible in the cloak, indicating that she was an extremely conceited and arrogant person.

"Less...... Young master, are they all hired by you? Long Hui said incredulously.

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, this team can resist Kalu's army." ”

Long Hui looked at the size of the orcs in front of him and the way they walked, and knew that they were definitely elite soldiers, and immediately said: "Although there are few people in this team, they all seem to be elite soldiers. With these 400 men, plus the nearly 400 men we still have, we may not be able to defeat Karui's army, but we will have no problem defending the city, at least for the time being. Karu can't be attacked for a long time, so he should retreat. ”

Xiao Yu showed a hint of arrogance on his face, and said proudly: "Then let's start arranging the city defense, this time I must let that Karui suffer a big loss, and the idea of daring to beat my sister-in-law is simply unbearable." ”

But in his heart, he thought, "Just defense? Hmph, with these four hundred elites, I must make him suffer a big loss. ”

Immediately, these orc soldiers and elven archers all went to the city.

A big war is about to begin. Xiao Yu's otherworldly hegemony began here.
