Chapter 276

The morale of Xiao Yu’s army was at best . He had to crush the remaining enemy forces so that he could breath easily for a while .

They attacked the enemy as if they were beating stray dogs . The chase continued for three days and nights . The vast majority of enemy soldiers surrendered . A small portion of them were able to escape and some were killed during the chase . Originally, they were against Touba Hong but now Touba Gui had failed and they were going to continue living under Touba Hong’s rule . Ba Tianming was able to escape successfully . The mysterious black cloaked people had disappeared too .

It was a great victory . It wasn’t just about crushing Touba Gui’s attempt to kill Touba Hong but to encourage the morale of the people by Touba Hong’s side . Now, Wuhe town was his base and Touba Hong could officially begin to claim the rest of the empire . Moreover, there were going to be others who would join Touba Hong because of this victory that would enhance Touba Hong’s strength .

It wasn’t just troops that Touba Hong got out of this victory . He was able to seize lots of ballista, catapults, weapons and other supplies .

Touba Hong held a grand banquet in Wuhe town after the troops came back from chasing the enemies . The soldiers who had achievements in the war were given rewards . A number of new generals were raised . They were the foundation upon which Touba Hong was going to build the new empire .

Xiao Yu had promised soliders the rewards so Touba Hong had to comply to honor his promise . The people who couldn’t amass good merit were very jealous . Moreover, they were eager for the next battles as they wanted glory too . In addition, they knew that the court had betrayed Touba Hong and the veterans of the war would be the new officials and aristocrats after Touba Hong united the empire .

Touba Hong made General Hattum the Grand Marshal of his army because of his feat during the war . He was a marshal but was still bound to comply to Xiao Yu’s commands . Touba Hong had handed over the military to Xiao Yu . He was clear that the only reason he had victory was because of Xiao Yu . He would be a prisoner of Ba Tianming if not for Xiao Yu . Additionally, Xiao Yu was his most important and irreplacable ally .

The next step was to work on strategic plan . Xiao Yu and Touba Hong discussed for several day and determined the basic road map for the future . First of all, they were going to send bards to all over the empire to talk about truth on Touba Gui’s act of treason . Xiao Yu had told to Touba Hong that it didn’t matter whether he had money or powerful army . The most important thing at this point was the people of the empire . He had to be popular and get the support of the people .

Second point was to train and reorganize the army . They would send scouts to the nearby tribes to make them pledge allegiance . The ones who refused would be killed .

Moreover, the military wouldn’t be only located in Wuhe town . Touba Hong would begin to send his armies to everywhere so that they could reorganize and support each other at any given time .

The third point was to send envoys to the tribes and clans in the distance who wanted to be affiliated with Touba Hong but couldn’t act at this point . Those tribes would be told to accumulate strength and prepare for the offense at the right time . These three points were general notions and there were lots of specific details . The road map would improve as the time passed on and the conditions changed .

The strength of Xiao Yu’s summoned troops increased after this large-scale battle . Perhaps it was because of extremely powerful Ghost Warriors and wolf warriors that there was such a rapid upgrade . Grom had reached level 25 . Antonidas was level 26 too . He was showing an excellent performance in such a large-scale battle . Normally, mages would be weak and first target of any attack . But Antonidas could use Ice Barrier, Teleportation and other life-saving skills . In addition, he had unlimited mana potions at his hand . One of the icicles thrown by him was able to penetrate the skin of wolf warrior and the second one was enough to kill it . As one of the greatest magicians of the ancient era Antonidas was going to show much more terrifying power after he reached high level .

Cairne had reached level 25 too . He was like a killing machine on the battlefield . He would rely on pure brute force to kill everyone and anyone on his path . Moreover, Cairne had wasted two sets of T3 armor suits during the war . Xiao Yu had given him new sets during the battle but kept the broken ones for repair (TL note: Cheap bastard!) .

Xiao Yu was surprised when he saw that Maiev had reached level 23 . It had to be noted that she was just on level 18 before the war . The sudden increase of 5 levels was a direct proof to the number of people who lost their lives at her hand . Moreover, her movements were erratic and unpredictable after she levelled up . Xiao Yu felt like Maiev could disappear in front of him at any moment and kill anyone .

Maiev could learn 3 more skills after reaching level 20:

Rapid attack (up to level 3): Hero’s attack speed increases .

Fan of Blades (up to level level 3): Hero throws a wheel saw which rotates and inflicts damage on enemies .

Darkwalker (up to level 5): The Hero’s speed of movement and attack in the darkness increases . Hero can integrate into darkness which makes the detection very hard for the enemies .

The ranks of the other summoned warriors had substantially increased too . The lowest Druid of the Talon was at level 3 while the highest were at level 6 . At level 6 they could turn into storm crow and fly freely . Moreover, they could use magic attacks which made them much powerful than average soldiers . Xiao Yu commanded them to stay far away from the first line of defense at the start of the war because of their low levels . He was afraid that they would be easy kills . However, they were still had done lots of damage .

Nevertheless, Xiao Yu lost a lot of warriors summoned from the bases . There were 300 units that died . It made it first time that Xiao Yu lost so many warriors . But he knew that as the battles went on the forces that he was going to face were going to be more powerful too . It would be a naïve thought to think that he could stay invincible in the wars without a casualty .

Mountain Giants were the most difficult to kill in the war . They had killed a lot of enemies too . Some of them had reached level 10 . The ones who reached level 10 were almost 10 meters tall which thick rocky skins . Moreover, they could pull out a tree and use them as weapons too .

Xiao Yu had decided to summon Druids of the Claw after witness the strength of the wolf warriors . This special unit can play a powerful rule if they were introduced into the battlefield in an unexpected matter . Imagine if lots of bears appear in the battlefield out of blue .

In addition, Xiao Yu’s meritorious service points had increased too . He had risen a rank and could upgrade one of his bases now . He was planning to upgrade human base . At least, for now he could use a group of undeads . It would not look good .

He could summon Gryphon Riders, Dragonhawks and other units . Moreover, he could summon priests too . The casualties in the battlefield could be reduced with the help of priests .

“The future lies in wars… ” Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he pondered when to return to upgrade the base and summon new units . However, at the moment he had to help Touba Hong to stabilize the situation .
