Chapter 114
The atmosphere during the dinner was harmonious. Moreover, most of the leader looked down at Xiao Yu. At the end of the day Xiao Yu had just brought 450 heavy cavalry men. There were medium-sized bandit group leaders who had thousands even ten thousands troops. Xiao Yuâs status with the number of troops he had would qualify him as a leader of a small bandit group. However, he was a bit higher because of the heavy cavalry. Xiao Yu wasnât concerned much about it as his intention wasnât to be part of the bandits.
As a result, he continued to live in the Eagle camp. He had nothing to do so most of time time he would train his knights. He had a calm look on his face as he observed the situation in the camp. First of all, he tried to find the weaknesses of the bandit camp.
However, he found out that the height and thickness of the walls of this bandit camp was much stronger in comparison to Lion town. He would need more than 50,000 troops to charge from front if he couldnât find a way for a surprise attack.
Naturally, the camp wasnât made by Subaru. The previous leader who had built the camp died of old age. Subary got rid of his competitors to the âthroneâ and took the seat of the leader.
Xiao Yu choose to go with his second plan. He began to get on goog terms with other leaders of the camp.
On surface it seemed unintentional but Xiao Yu deliberately hit a leader called Lightning Bao. This man had more than ten thousand bandits under his control. He had a rebellious character and seemed to be dissatisfied with Subaruâs actions. Xiao Yu had clearly seen his dissatisfaction with Subary at the dinner.
âIâm sorry⊠Sorry⊠Itâs Leader Bao! It seems that this clothing of yours would cost about thousands of gold coins. I will send 20,000 gold coins so that Leader Bao could forgive me.â Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Bao had a dislike towards Xiao Yu since Xiao Yu joined them. He got angry when Xiao Yu hit him but Xiao Yuâs words extinguished the fire in his heart.
âBe careful when you walk around. Iâm afraid you will lose your life if you get into sites of other groups.â Lightning Bao looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu quickly said: âTrue! This young brother would remember Leader Baoâs teachings. Iâm new so I donât understand most of the rules. Hopefully, Leader Bao would take care of me in the future.â
Lightning Bao looked at Xiao Yu: âArenât you already following Subary? Why should I take care of you?â
Xiao Yu smiled: âI hope Leader Bao isnât serious. What do you think Subary thinks of a small man such as me? Would I be willing to come here if I wasnât forced to do so?â
Xiao Yu seemed as if reading Lightning Baoâs heart. He would also not come here if the situation wasnât so.
Lightning Bao saw the light in Xiao Yuâs eyes: âSubary said to us that our aim is to destroy the Lion territory. But he had used various excuses to shirk from his promise up to now. We have yet to attack Lion town but a lot of small groups has already been swallowed by him.â
Xiao Yu shouted out in his heart: âThis is the best what I could wish for! Thank God!!! HaHaHAâŠâ
Xiao Yu added: âLeader Bao, Iâm a leader of small group so I have to seek refuge in these chaotic times. But how could a hero like you canât go back? Moreover, isnât Subaruâs forces a bit more than other groups? I think Subary has just given this excuse to bring all the groups together and integrate into one. Does he plan to be the king of the northwest?â
Xiao Yu remark was like swiping butter onto the bread.
Lightning Bao turned around to see no one, so he continued in a cold tone: âYou are right.. But he will never ever be a proper leader. He had inherited this place from the previous group leader. However, all of us have worked from bottom to top. How can he be any better than us?â
Xiao Yu had a depressed look on his face. He sighed: âUnfortunately, there is no way out since I have come into this place. Originally, Subary had promised a lot but those words had become windsâŠâ
Bao continued in a cold tone: âIt is not necessarily so. Iâm not the only one to share this views. I believe that if other leaders join me then we will be able to get what we want.â
Xiao Yu shook his head: âBig brother⊠Iâll call you brother Bao from now own. I believe that Brother Baoâs heart is way too clean as you canât see through the plans of Subaru. I have been in here for few days and I have seen whatâs happening with small groups like mine. On the surface, they call it the expansion of the army but they have distributed my knights to different teams. These soldiers donât care about who they follow as we are bandits. They will follow the one who will treat them well. Subaru isnât shy of anything too. I am afraid my soldiers wonât follow my orders after a while.â
Lightning Bao got angry: âFuck Subaru! I am aware that he has secretly contacted few leaders under my commandâŠâ
Xiao Yu patted Baoâs shoulder: âBrother Bao, my only regret is joining this alliance. If brother finds a way to leave this place then please donât forget this little brother of yours. I donât want to stay here but my strength is not enough to get out⊠I believe that you will hear the news about my death if I take my forces and leave this place.â
Lightning Bao spat out: âFuck him! A while ago leader Cobbs left but we heard that troops from the Lion town killed him! Would the soldiers of the Lion town come to a distance place such as this? Obviously, it was Subaru who had sent people to kill him. It seems that if I show the dissatisfaction on surface then Iâll be fated to have the same end.â
Xiao Yu was excited in his heart but calm on surface: âBrother Bao, donât get angry⊠If Subary sees your state then both of us will be finished. We are someone elseâs turf⊠Moreover, we donât know how much of our army we control. We canât act so easily or we will provoke trouble.â
Bao knew that Xiao Yu was telling the truth. He suppressed the anger in his heart. He was the Lord of his own camp and was a small emperor! But now he had become a useless man.
âSubaru wonât be able to swallow my troops⊠I wonât let him do eat easily even if I die at the end.â Bao spoke out in bitter tone.
Xiao Yu patted Lightning Baoâs shoulder: âBrother Bao, donât get angry. If brother Bao wants to get out then this young brother has a few words to tell. Would you mind listening to me?â
Baoâs hate towards Xiao Yu had diminished. He was feeling sympathetic to him now: âSpeak brother.â
Xiao Yu looked around and whispered: âI have this small plan. We have to find an opportunity to withdraw people to avoid fighting Subaruâs people. After all, we will lose a lot if we go for a battle. We will be back to our initial times as no ones.â
Bao pondered for a while: âItâs true that we will lose even if we will be victorious against Subaru.. We want a proper exit.â
Xiao Yu nodded: âI donât have a good idea now but if I came out to drink with your tonight then we can discuss a proper plan. If we can combine others to our plan then we will have strength to act as we wish. In that case, Subaru wouldnât be able to block us.â
Bao nodded: âBrother is wise man.. Not as rush as me..â
Xiao Yu smiled: âI will be relying on big brotherâs help. If not for you I canât do anything.â
Xiao Yu and Lightning Bao decided to come over to drink at night and discuss few things together.
