Chapter 34: Heaven's Will?

  Originally, Xiao Yu thought that she had crossed over into a completely unrelated world, but this scene suddenly left her perplexed.

  "She knew Tairland and also said that Tairland was their god, saying it had left them 10,000 years ago. Is this world the background of Warcraft 10,000 years later?"

  Xiao Yu couldn't help but suspect that if it wasn't for this reason, there would be no way to explain why this Elf woman knew Tyrande.

  What happened ten thousand years ago?

  At this moment, Tailande has taken a big step forward to the front of Xiao Yu, with tears on his face, and said solemnly: "Master, Tailande asks you, hoping that you can help our spirit clan to revive again, let them get rid of suffering, regain freedom and balance, gain the protection of the moon goddess, Tailande will be loyal to you forever."

  Xiao Yu's face turned stern as soon as he heard this, and he said: "What kind of talk is this? Do you still need to ask for my permission? Aren't they all my clansmen? As the master of this world, all spirits, beastmen, and dwarves are my clansmen. Whoever dares to bully my clansmen will be sent to the 18th level of hell by me, never to be reborn, and I'll fry them in a vat of oil."

  Xiao Yu's words were not just a perfunctory attempt to gain Tailande's favor, but truly came from the heart. The long period of fighting side by side had not only increased their loyalty to Xiao Yu, but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among them. And Xiao Yu was no exception, having developed feelings for them as well.

  Even if the elf is arrogant and unpleasant to look at, it's like one's own child, no matter how ugly.

  As expected, after hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tailande's loyalty value suddenly increased by 20. To think that Xiao Yu had used a good amount of time to eliminate the negative values and reached a balance point of 0, now it has suddenly increased by 20, showing just how excited Tailande was.

  At this time, Xiao Yu didn't have the mood to rejoice at Tailande's loyalty, seeing the treatment of the elf girl made his heart ache, just like his own sister had suffered such treatment.

  "Continue searching to see if there are any other slaves. Once dawn breaks, we will begin the trial of these people." Xiao Yu gave the order coldly.

  The sprite hunters and sprite archers went back inside to carefully search, while the beastmen looked at these captives, licking their lips one by one, thinking about how to eat them.

  These bandits who were captured by the beastmen couldn't help but feel a pang of fear under their cruel gaze.

  By the time dawn broke, the fire in the bandit camp had almost been extinguished, leaving only wisps of smoke rising everywhere, as if telling the tale of destruction here.

  Xiao Yu did not immediately go to collect the spoils of war, but instead began to try these robbers.

  The trial procedure is simple, looking at the length of time in cahoots, the amount of evil done, public trial, others can expose, exposing more can reduce guilt, exempt from death penalty, if exposed by others, then only death penalty.

  This method of trial by letting the dogs bite each other has indeed achieved very good results. As soon as someone is pulled out, many people start to expose this person's evil deeds, and naturally there are some who add oil to the fire.

  However, Xiao Yu would rather mistakenly kill 3,000 than let one go, as long as the evil deeds were verified, they would be executed on the spot. The beastman's large axe directly chopped off their heads, and some beastmen even cut off a piece or two of flesh to eat.

  Xiao Yu had always stopped them from doing such disgusting things, but today she didn't stop them. Instead, she let the beastmen eat in front of these robbers and torture their nerves before they died.

  As the continuous exposure, more than 800 thieves were left with only over 100, and all the others were knocked down. These thieves are not very clean either, but relatively speaking, they do less evil.

  However, Xiao Yu didn't mean to let them off the hook. The scars on those slaves were clearly visible to him, and from now on, he would make them taste this treatment as well, but even more cruelly.

  The fetters that had been on the slaves were removed and two pairs of them were put on each of the robbers, who then began to work under the supervision of the beastmen.

  During the trial, several robbers wanted to escape or resist, but Tyrande, who was furious at this time, couldn't wait to find something to vent her anger, so she directly shot one with an arrow, showing no mercy.

  The Elf tribe was originally a peaceful and life-loving race, but at this time, facing the suffering of their own people, they were also ruthless in taking lives.

  Even they didn't feel so disgusted that the Orcs were eating these bandits' flesh at this time, and thought such a punishment was quite satisfying.

  After executing the bandits, Xiao Yu took stock of their losses again. In total, they had lost five beastman infantrymen, five human infantrymen, and two elven hunters.

  The sprite hunter went in to set fire and was blocked by some strong bandits and two were killed.

  As for those elf archers and dwarf gunners, since they were on the high city walls, not a single one was injured.

  Some other wounded soldiers have been treated with life-saving medicine without hesitation, as long as they have a breath of life, the life-saving medicine can save their lives.

  With a force of just over 600 men, they had lost only twelve soldiers, but had killed more than 4,000 of the enemy. This was already a great victory, but Xiao Yu still deeply reflected on himself, how to better avoid the death of his soldiers.

  Every time a soldier dies, Xiao Yu feels sad from the bottom of her heart.

  However, since it's a war, it's inevitable that people will die. Zero casualties in battle are impossible in any fight, and Xiao Yu can only try her best to minimize the casualties.

  After finishing the count of casualties, Xiao Yu ordered Zhao Hu to lead his men in to conduct a thorough search for spoils of war. To these searching soldiers, Xiao Yu gave a simple order: "Kill all, burn all, plunder all. Anyone who is still alive inside, kill them all. Anything that can be taken away, take it all away. Anything that can be burned, burn it all."

  For this kind of bandit, Xiao Yu could only use his own way to deal with him.

  Even the bodies of the bandits who had died in battle were not spared by Xiao Yu, who demanded that they be searched thoroughly. If there was nothing on them, then their clothes would also be stripped off and taken away.

  In this era, clothes, a necessity of life, are extremely precious. Many subjects of the Lion King still shiver with cold in winter; wouldn't it be better to take them back and distribute them among the people?

  As for Xiao Yu's orders, these beastman soldiers carried them out most thoroughly. Some of the beastmen didn't even spare their opponent's underwear.

  "That beast thirty-eight, we don't want the underwear anymore. And that beast fifty-six, those shoes are already rotten, taking them back won't even leave a few pieces of cloth, just burn them."

  Xiao Yu gave each of these beastman infantrymen a simple codename to distinguish them, initially calling them Number One, Number Two, but later with the addition of the Elf tribe, this naming convention would be confusing.

  So he directly numbered the beastman soldiers as Beast One, Beast Two, etc., the elven archers were numbered as Bow One, Bow Two, etc., and the elven hunters were Hunter One, Hunter Two...

  So on and so forth.

  Under the leadership of those captives, Zhao Hu quickly searched the entire mountain stronghold and found more than 400,000 gold coins, as well as other supplies.

  However, due to a big fire, too many materials were burned away, and the gains were not as much as those obtained from Tong Guan's stronghold last time. Gold coins, on the other hand, were abundant.

  Those captives are now as obedient as can be, looking at the beastman soldiers directly twisting off an arm and taking a bite, these bandit captives have already collapsed, under Zhao Hui's fake tiger's casual threat, they said everything.

  Even the secret passage and several hidden rooms that Carus dug in the back mountain were found. Carus had also thought about leaving a way out for himself if he encountered a large-scale attack, but the battle was not what he imagined, and he didn't even have the chance to escape with his wealth.

  "What the Nima, why call it that, Karus, Kalu should die, you add another 'die' word, even more should die." Xiao Yu cursed angrily, suddenly remembering that the name of this bandit leader was similar to Karus.

  This time after returning, with funds in hand, pre-war preparations must be carried out as soon as possible. This time, the great army of Kalu is not like last time so simple, and sufficient preparation is needed to achieve victory.

  Looking at Tailande's solemn face and the elf girl's complete trust in Tailande's blind worship, Xiao Yu suddenly had a strange feeling.

  The excuse he used to deceive everyone seems to be coming true step by step.

  "The gods of the Elf and Beast tribes think he is the greatest king of this era, so they give him these soldiers to help him fight in order to help the Elf and Beast tribes revive."

  It seems to be slowly becoming a reality.

  Tai Lande is now the god of the Elf tribe, and if Xiao Yu summons Sal again, shouldn't Sal also be the god of the Beast tribe? They are all under their own jurisdiction. With Xiao Yu's personality, he will definitely help them protect their tribesmen and revive the Elf and Beast tribes.

  What was originally a very unreliable and casual excuse seems to have come true.

  Is it really the will of heaven in the midst of obscurity?

  ……
