Chapter Seventeen Victory

  "Sir, let's retreat. Their beastman soldiers are too powerful and we can't break through the city gate. If this continues, we'll all be killed." A guard captain said to Carlu.

  Karu's face was unpredictable, he never thought that what was originally supposed to be an easy win would turn out like this.

  The enemy had a significantly smaller number of troops, but thanks to the robust defense of the beastman infantry and the excellent performance of those strange archers, they managed to turn the tide of battle in this way, which was truly infuriating.

  Where did Xiao Yu find these beastman soldiers from?

  Beastmen and humans have always been like fire and water, how could they possibly fight for a human? Is it possible that Xiao Yu colluded with the beastmen? It's very likely to be the case, otherwise the beastmen wouldn't help him.

  The current Beastmen are almost extinct, but they are also intelligent creatures, not just brainless wild beasts. They will think too, so they may want to develop through the Lion King City near the Ankala Mountains, so they form an alliance with Xiao Yu.

  Just as Kalu hesitated for a moment, his troops lost nearly two hundred more men. The archers on the city wall were too sharp, leaving the soldiers below with nowhere to hide.

  Although they have shields and armor, they can only defend against a part of it. One arrow cannot hit the mark, but two or three arrows will always hit the mark. One arrow cannot kill, but two or three arrows will always be fatal.

  "Retreat." Looking at the solid city wall, Karu also knew that he couldn't break in this time. At the gate, the terrain was narrow and there were dozens of beastmen infantry blocking the way, it was simply a large grinder, grinding his troops to death.

  Although they had a magician who could have broken through the city gate, Master Kama said that the other side had an extremely powerful archer who could shoot and explode the Anti-Tower Shield with one arrow, injuring him, and he didn't dare to approach easily again.

  "I'll be back next time, and I'll make sure to conquer the Lion King's territory." Karu's eyes blazed with angry light as he ordered his troops to retreat.

  These soldiers were relieved, facing the arrows falling from above like rain and the strong beast-like orc soldiers below, they really didn't have the courage to fight anymore.

  Seeing that the opponent had retreated, Xiao Yu stood up, narrowing his eyes and pondering whether he should launch a counterattack.

  After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yu still gave up the pursuit. The reason why he achieved such results was mainly due to the defense of the solid city wall, which brought out the beastman infantry's ability to fight alone and the elf archer's accurate archery skills.

  Once a pursuit is launched, fighting on the plains will not give our side any advantage.

  The beastman infantry is fine, and the charge is also no problem. Although there are fewer people, they can still kill a lot of opponents. However, the elven archers are too fragile. Once the terrain opens up and they are attacked from both sides, the casualties among these elven archers will definitely be very heavy.

  The Elf Archer is incredibly powerful with their bow and arrow, but the downside is also extremely obvious, which is that they are very poor in close combat. Their close combat ability is almost zero, as long as the opponent gets close to them, even a common bandit can easily kill them.

  Earlier when eliminating bandits, Xiao Yu had already discovered the shortcomings of these archers, so now he is extremely cautious in using them.

  Xiao Yu had also asked the system this question before, how to slightly improve the close combat ability of the Elf archer tribe. The reply was that with the increase in level, there would be some improvement in close combat ability, but it would still be far inferior to infantry.

  This is also the disadvantage of the soldiers summoned by the game, with very prominent advantages and disadvantages, not like real trained soldiers who are comprehensive in all aspects.

  As Karu's army began to retreat, the soldiers of the Lion King's legion on the city wall all cheered loudly, and some even cried with joy.

  They had already thought that they would surely die in this battle, and the Lion King's territory would also fall. Their parents, wives, and children would also be harmed. Unexpectedly, under the leadership of the lord, they actually defeated Karu's army.

  They defeated an enemy force of five thousand with less than eight hundred men, killing at least three thousand five hundred people, which was already a remarkably great victory.

  Those elf archers and beastman infantry had no excited expressions, they just stopped fighting woodenly and stood quietly on the wall.

  "We won! We won!" All the soldiers were shouting loudly, beside themselves with excitement.

  Xiao Yu's fourth sister, Xue Xia, was wiping the long sword that had been stained with countless fresh blood. She seemed a bit dazed, as if she had transcended this world. Originally, she also thought that this time they would definitely break through the city, and everyone would be hard-pressed to escape death.

  But unexpectedly, this prodigal son somehow managed to gather these soldiers and actually defeated the army of 5,000 led by Calu, which was simply a miracle.

  Looking at the prodigal son still standing on the wall, wearing a huge black cloak, holding a cup of red wine in his hand, with an expressionless gaze, as if he were indeed a commander commanding thousands of troops and horses.

  "What's wrong with this good-for-nothing? How did he suddenly seem to change into a different person?" Xue Xiang was thinking like this, and her impression of Xiao Yu suddenly improved, feeling that this person seemed to have become a great hero who took on the responsibility of a leader overnight. But in the next moment, she suddenly discovered that Xiao Yu's gaze was secretly peeking at the thigh of the female archer beside him.

  The wind on the city wall was very strong, and the huge cloak was easily blown up. Tirande's snow-white thighs were immediately exposed, snow-white, sturdy and extremely long, plump and elastic, very tempting.

  Xiao Yu's saliva had secretly flowed into the red wine glass at this time.

  "A dog can't change its nature of eating feces." Xue Shan angrily cursed and quickly went down the city wall to report this good news to several other sisters-in-law inside.

  With a loud creak, the heavy snow-covered door of the hall was pushed open. The four sisters-in-law were all seated here, surrounding an ancient and elegant round table. On the table, there were cups of honeyed liquor. They were waiting for that result.

  When the city is about to fall, drink it down.

  Lao Guan Jia Xiao Hong stood beside several wives, dedicating his last loyalty. The entire hall was filled with an atmosphere of despair.

  "Big sister, second sister, third sister... fifth younger sister..." Xue Lian ran over, panting and covered in blood. After such a long battle, her physical strength had also been greatly consumed.

  "Wu Mei, the city has fallen, hasn't it? We've already heard their cheers. Well, let's all die together today, at least we'll have each other." Xiao Yu's eldest sister-in-law, Qi Yin, sighed and picked up the jug of honey syrup, pouring a bowl for each person in front of her.

  "It's not big sister, we won, we defeated Karu's army." Xue Yan saw that Qi Yin was about to drink the poison and hurriedly stopped her.

  "What?" The four young ladies and Old Steward Xiao Hong were all stunned, looking at Xue Xiang with faces full of incredulity.

  "Fourth sister, have you gone mad? What army do we have left to defeat Karu's forces?" Qinyin asked incredulously.

  She didn't believe at all that Karu's army could be defeated.

  "It's true, sister-in-law. Xiao Yu that spendthrift somehow hired a group of mercenaries, including beastman soldiers. We defeated Karu's army and they have retreated." Xue Yan hastily explained.

  "What? Xiao Yu hired mercenaries? Or beastman mercenaries?" Qi Yin and several other young ladies were all somewhat stunned.

  Mercenaries can be hired, but how can there be beastmen? Didn't beastmen go extinct a long time ago?

  Xue Xiang quickly walked to the table, poured out all the poisonous medicine, and said: "No matter how that prodigal son hired those beast soldiers, in short, we have defeated Kalu, none of us need to die. You go outside and take a look, now everyone is celebrating."
