World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination Chapter 41

Chapter 41

“Kill …” The first soldiers from Carrie’s side to reach the top of the ladder was a first-rank warrior. Moreover, the man wasn’t just an ordinary first-rank warrior but a late stage first-rank warrior.

Carrie had scattered at least two warriors to every light infantry phalanx. He believed that they would be able to break through the wall guardians by strength.

Xiao Yu snorted at the approach taken by Carrie. If Carrie had concentrated all the warriors in a single phalanx then perhaps they could cause threat to Xiao Yu. However, he had separated these warriors. In this case, the grunts were more than capable to kill them. The grunts would be able to handle first-rank warrior as long as they hadn’t reached level 2. In short, three grunts would be easily able to kill an early stage or middle-stage first-rank warrior.

The reason Xiao Yu had chosen orcs as his first base was the strength of the grunts. In this era of the cold weapons, there can’t be any race better than orcs. Neither elves nor humans have the advantages the orcs have at the initial stage of development.

In addition, he had footmen now. They could do formation with their shields and easily suppress first-rank warriors. The battle on top of the walls this time wasn’t much different from the last time. Although the number of soldiers that Carrie had brought was much more but Xiao Yu had his army doubled in quant.i.ty too.

Last time. Xiao Yu had only 200 grunts defending the town walls, he didn’t even have footmen. This time he had 500 grunts, 100 footmen, 100 elf hunters that came back and forth to support the wall. Carrie wouldn’t be able to win unless he brought 5 times the force he had now.

In the link of an eye, the flesh and blood of the dying soldiers sprayed on top of the walls. The grunts were stimulated by these scenes as their berserker skill activated. They would smash down the soldiers that wanted to get on top of the walls.

Archers and archmage still continued to kill the soldiers that attacked the town. They were hiding behind footmen who used shields to protect them.

Archmage was using Cone of the Cold which was excellent skill in such a defensive warfare. The more fiercer Carrie’s army rushed forward more serious casualties they had.

Normally, Carrie’s army should have focused on killing the archmage first. Carrie had to send at least few soldiers and two warriors were to kill the archmage.

Neverhtless, Xiao Yu had deployed about ten footmen and ten grunts to act as archmage’s bodyguards. He knew that he couldn’t lose archmage at all costs. Moreover, Xiao Yu himself was standing not far from the archmage. He had learned few skills of the blademaster so he would be able to stand his own against one or two warriors without a problem.

In addition, Xiao Yu had build a long sword for himself which could better show the skills of the blademaster. The style of the long sword was taken from the Tang swords from his past life.

Archmage reached level 7 after a bit of time. Xiao Yu immediately added the skill point to archmage’s Ice Barrier skill. The skill reached to level 2 which raised the survival chances of the archmage.

The battle for the walls for b.l.o.o.d.y and tragic. Carrie’s army suffered heavy losses. Xiao Yu’s side suffered losses too but it wasn’t that serious. Carrie’s soldiers had military crossbows that they used while climbing the ladders but the top of the walls were protected by the footmen who used shields. The grunts were behind footmen by a step or too. As a result, even though the enemy soldiers used crossbows but they couldn’t make successful shots.

The elf archers were position even more at the back. They were behind the grunts. Xiao Yu had given the commands to shoot soldiers on the ground. They didn’t have to shoot soldiers that were at the foot of the walls or the ones who climbed up. He had let the grunts to deal with them.

Carrie was furious as he looked at the battlefield. He issued another order: "Continue on! Attack rapidly, I want the walls! If they can’t take the walls then I’ll make them slaves when we get back."

Carrie’s line of sight turned towards the heavy infantry after issuing such a harsh order. The heavy infantry phalanx was about ten meters away from the gates.

At the start when Xiao Yu opened the gates Carrie thought that Xiao Yu was planning to surrender. Now, he was aware that Xiao Yu wasn’t planning to surrender but the town gates were still open widely. What was he planning to do?

The phalanx of the heavy infantry had mages hidden inside the square. There was a battering ram too. So Carrie thought that Xiao Yu was afraid that they would be able to break the town gates anyway so Xiao Yu depended on orcs as a last line of defense.

The spartan defense method used by Xiao Yu had left deep impression on Carrie so he was planning to crush those orcs this time.

“Idiot! Last time I didn’t have heavy infantry so I couldn’t break through the gates! Do you think that I will be afraid of your orcs this time? I’ve read a lot of books and trained heavy infantry to fight against the orcs. We have done countless exercises to specifically deal with the orcs. You are still going to use the same strategy! Hah~ Wait and see how I will slaughter all your orcs!"

The commander of the heavy infantry looked at the open gates of the town. His heart was full of doubts. The enemy had seen that the heavy infantry was slowly moving towards the gates but they were still open. Why?

Are they really confident that orcs can break through our heavy infantry formation?

History had proved that a formation of 100 heavy infantry can annihilate 100 orcs who were brave but didn’t understand any battle formation.

Boom~ Boom~

The heavy infantry phalanx moved step by step.

“Get ready.” The commander shouted loudly. They had training for many times and they were going to test their exercises in real life battle.

The heavy infantrymen issue war cries as they raised their heavy shields. The shield could protect them from their knees to the neck. Moreover, the heavy infantry men were standing side by side. As a result, the shield of the next soldiers was protecting the body of the previous and so on.

They were planning to use this formation to break through the orc formation.

The first row of the heavy infantry men had swords to resist the orcs. The latter rows had spears and military crossbows. The would shoot arrows and spears while first row protected the formation. The infantry men from the back rows would be able to kill all the orcs as long as the first row was able to protect the formation. The phalanx slowly moved towards the gate. In addition, they had a mage hidden inside the rows and he would use spells to kill orcs more faster.

Originally, they were right but today they were going to face a different result because Xiao Yu was the commander that they were facing.

…

Beast One had a treacherous smile expressed on his face when the heavy infantry entered the town gates.

Orcs were honest, stubborn and naive race. However, these grunts had followed Xiao Yu since their birth. They had seen their master act despicable, treacherous and evil all the way so they had learned everything from Xiao Yu. Especially, the first grunt that was produced, Beast One, was the smartest out of all which had learned almost everything from Xiao Yu.

Normally, the grunts produced by the system had no feelings and acted like robots. Their minds were blank like newborn babies. They knew nothing but fighting. That’s why like newborn babies they learned everything from their parents as they spend most of their times with their parents.

Xiao Yu was the sole parent to these orcs. They learned and copied his words and deeds.

“Get ready!” Beast One shouted.

The grunts separated to the sides and two huge machines with wings appeared behind them.

The commander of the heavy infantry felt bad the moment he saw the strange machine.

Facts would prove that his instincts weren’t wrong. The two wings of the machine opened up and a crescent shaped blade appeared.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~

Two strange sounds echoed as huge silver blade flew out while whistling in the air.

The blades that were thrown were so fast that they couldn’t be detected by the naked eyes. The heavy infantry men had never seen such weapons.
