Chapter 369
The other heroes were motivated by the sudden advancement of Naga Sea Witch so they got into a frenzy of slaughter. It was a good opportunity for them to level up too! However, this meant that the number of the gorlocs were decreasing faster. In addition, ordinary troops such as grunts, druids and others were trying their best to kill as many gorlocs as they could. All of them understood that they could become a hero after breaking through the shackles that held them back. The grunts were much more motivated as their bloodthirst had reached the maximum level.
Both Nicholas and Leonardo were quite startled when they saw Xiao Yuâs troops in a killing frenzy. They saw the dragon use nunchakuâs to kill while Cairne was in a rampage. Tyrande was killing enemies with rapid shoots as if harvest crop while Kaelâthas endlessly used fire magic to take the lives of gorlocs. Both of them felt great threat from Xiao Yuâs troops. It wasnât because of their strength or power, or even if these heroes were similar to the ones in the ancient times. The main reason was the variety and bizzareness of the troops. There were Sorceresses, Druids, Faerie Dragons, Gryphons and so on. Xiao Yu had both ground and air troops which had great advantages when played out the right way. Nicholas was able to see the reasons why Xiao Yu was able to defeat the Kennedy family.
But how did Xiao Yu got so many heroes and troops under his command? Was it Xiao Yuâs luck? Did all these troops come from the Ankagen Mountains?
Does it mean that Xiao Yu could summon them? But how great his powers are so that he could summon so many ancient troops? Nicholas believed that Xiao Yu would come up with just an excuse such as summoning to hide the real way. It was obvious that Xiao Yu was enveloped in mysteries and secrets.
Nicholasâs line of thoughts were interrupted when he saw that the violent attack of the gorlocs were diminishing. It seemed as if they were retreating. It wasnât obvious at first but as time passed he saw that new gorlocs werenât joining the battle.
Were the monsters retreating? Was it some kind of game?
Did they really win? Did they really win over the gorlocs?
âShould we chase?â Nicholas asked. Although the question was forwarded to both Leonardo and Xiao Yu but Nicholasâs eyes were concentrated on Xiao Yu. At the moment, Xiao Yuâs words were more important than the successor to the Shaw family. Leonardo was quite upset in his heart but it wasnât reflected on his face. After all, he was aware about Xiao Yuâs role in the battle. He didnât like Xiao Yu but it didnât mean that he was blind to the reality.
âLetâs chase! Why shouldnât we? Itâs such a good opportunity. We have been through some hardships so is isnât worth to get something back in return? Arenât you interested in treasures in their lair? I would love to see their nest.. What kind of leader do they have? Arenât you interested to know?â Xiao Yu replied.
Nicholas and Leonardo heard Xiao Yuâs positive response. They had Uther who was a great asset to increase their strength so the treasures of the gorlocs werenât a dream.
Alliance troops began to give a chase but the pursuit didnât take long. The mageâs couldnât pave the way for the troops. The humans couldnât outdo the gorlocs in the swamps. Moreover, the mist had yet to clear so there was a chance that the troops could fall into the swamps and die. Aggressiveness in these kind of conditions wasnât a smart choice. Nevertheless, there was no fear on troops but excitement after such a fierce battle. Everyone was thinking that there wasnât much chance to survive at the initial phase but everything ended much better than they thought. They didnât survive the attack of the gorlocs but emerged victorious.
Xiao Yu looked up to see the sky get brighter. It was almost daytime but their sight was unclear because of dense mist. The temperature would rise up during the daytime and the fog would losen. The toxins withint the mist wasnât powerful too. However, they had gone through a long battle and took a little rest to ease up.
âFuck it⊠We have been tossing right and left for all night. I gotta take a rest no matter what!â Xiao Yu sat down to rest. Since the werenât able to catch up to the gorlocs then the best option was to rest.
It was an embarrassing situation. They had been attacked by the gorlocs during the day and night for the last one day so they didnât have much time to rest. They wouldnât be able to survive for long time if they were ordinary humans. Moreover, Utherâs blessings were great help too. It had helped to remove the fatigue during the battle.
âAlright! We wonât chase since we canât catch up with them! Letâs take a rest. We will get to their nest in the afternoon!â Xiao Yuâs voice echoed out. The grunts sat down and began to snore momentarily. Moments ago their eyes were red but now they were bored when they saw that they would stop the case. The moment Xiao Yuâs order was sent out they fell down to sleep. It had to be noted that this battle was so hard that even the grunts with extraordinary physical strength were tired to sleep. In the past times when they defended the Lion city they still had time to rest. But now they had gone through a day and night of battle without a single moment of rest.
Nicholas and Leonardo ordered their troops to rest too. Afterwards, they came over to sit by Xiao Yuâs side.
âHey⊠What ya planning to do? Iâm scared!â Xiao Yu acted like a little girl who had met two bandits. Nicholas rolled his eyes while Leonardo had a disgusted look on his face. Leonardo couldnât understand actions of Xiao Yu as a heir to an ancient family. Nevertheless, he had to admit that Xiao Yuâs strength made him qualified to act as he wished.
âThe lizardmen have been sent back. Are we going to think about the next part of our plan?â Nicholas said.
âNo worries. We can talk about it.. But⊠Arenât you guys forgetting about something? What about my money?â Xiao Yu smiled from ear to ear.
Nicholas and Leonardo didnât talk much but paid what they owed Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was quite happy to see that every single gold coin was paid by these two people. It was true that the ancient families were too wealthy!
âLetâs get directly to the topic. We have to decide if we want to enter lizardmenâs nest or leave away!â Nicholas said.
Xiao Yu added: âNonsense! Of course, we will enter their nest. Why shouldnât we? Moreover, even if I disagree you guys will try to persuade me to enter. Why the rhetorical talk at this point?â
Xiao Yu was aware that there was nothing to talk about. Xiao Yu wasnât planning to let go of this opportunity let alone Nicholas! There was a certain degree of danger in this mission but Xiao Yu knew that Nicholas must have trump cards behind his sleeves if he dared to come up with the idea. These people wouldnât act rashly!
âItâs good to talk to wise men. We should go.. I think we have 80% chance of success because of your paladin and dragon.â Nicholas smiled.
âHow are we going to divide the loot?â Leonardo asked. Xiao Yu smiled. He knew that he had to be careful as these people could sell him out at any moment.
âWhat do you think?â Nicholas didnât answer but referred the question to Xiao Yu. He knew that Leonardo didnât care much but Xiao Yu wouldnât agree to less.
Xiao Yu thought for a while before talking: âWe will distribute everything evenly as we will join in together.. But if you can find something on your own then it belongs to you. What do you think?â
Nicholas didnât eexpect such an answer from Xiao Yu. It wouldnât be easy to find the secret place where the best treasures were hidden. Xiao Yu had come up with this resolution which meant that he must have a way to get to the hidden rooms.
âAlright!â Leonardo was the first to consent. He smiled in a strange manner. It was obvious that Leonardo had a way too.
Both Leonardo and Xiao Yu had agreed so Nicholas nodded too as he didnât have much to speak.
