Chapter 4 A penny beats a hero
"Finally level 2." Xiao Yu was excited and immediately began to learn new skills for the Sword Saint.
"Learn Invincible Slash." Xiao Yu issued an order, and suddenly, the Invincible Slash skill sign appeared in the Sword Saint's skill bar.
Invincible Slash (level 1): Explore a powerful slash attack to the opponent, causing 80 damage plus weapon damage. It consumes 10 points of Dou Qi and cooldown time of 10 seconds.
After reaching level 2, the attributes of the Sword Saint also changed.
Sword Saint Attributes:
Character: Grom Hellscream
Race: Beasts.
Level: 2
Attributes: Strength 22, Agility 34, Endurance 27.
Skills (learned): Wind Step (level 1), Invincible Slash (level 1)
Looking at the changes in this attribute, Xiao Yu understood that at this stage, every time the Sword Saint upgraded, the basic attribute points increased are 2 points of strength, 4 points of agility, and 2 points of endurance. This is an upgraded basic attribute improvement.
"The basic attributes have been improved, and I have learned the Invincible Slash. Now, the problem of insufficient attack power should be solved." Xiao Yu was also very expecting this Invincible Slash. This is the first attack skill in the true sense.
But this sword is really bad and its attack power is too poor. Xiao Yu checked the sword Saint's current attack power, and it was only 8-9, which was too bad.
He decided to quickly build a blacksmith shop so that he could improve the level of the Sword Saint's broken sword.
At this moment, a cheetah leaped over from a distance. Xiao Yu was shocked and immediately used the veins to hide and let the sword saint deal with it.
At this stage, Xiao Yu's strength is too fragile, and Jifengpu is indeed a good life-saving skill.
The Sword Saint seemed to be eager to try this invincible slashing skill. Seeing the cheetah's eyes full of bloodthirst and violentness, he quickly activated the wind speed step, and his agile figure rushed towards the cheetah like a wind, then jumped high and rushed towards the cheetah.
Swish...
A sharp sound of a sharp weapon breaking the wind roared by, and a bright Dou Qi Arc Blade was very dazzling. The Sword Saint's Invincible Slash directly slashed the cheetah's neck. The cheetah let out a terrifying howl, and a huge gap was immediately cut at the neck, and his head tilted to one side, and he seemed to be unable to survive.
"What a powerful invincible slash, haha..." Xiao Yu immediately ran out when he saw the cheetah fall down, looking at the deep wound on the cheetah's neck and was excited. The cheetahs they encountered before had to be killed after a lot of trouble, but now they can kill them in one sword.
Xiao Yu ordered the Sword Saint to use Invincible to cut a tree to test its power. As a result, a tree as thick as a bowl was cut off by Invincible Sword, and the incision was smooth and neat.
Xiao Yu was very satisfied with the power of the Invincible Slash.
The Sword Saint learned new skills, and Xiao Yu could learn them, so he also added another skill point to this Invincible Slash.
However, because he is very poor in physical fitness, has too low attribute points, and has not practiced swordsmanship much, this invincible slash cannot exert any great power.
The Sword Saint can cut off a tree as thick as a bowl with one sword, but he can only cut off a branch as thick as a child's arm. Invincible Slash also requires the user's own attributes to exert its power.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yu was no longer greedy for me and took the Sword Saint back to the base.
Upgrading from level 2 to level 3 requires 2,000 points in experience, but it will not be able to be upgraded for a while. Xiao Yu also knew that the later he went, the more difficult it would be to improve the level.
If you upgrade again, learn the fatal blow and increase the damage, the Sword Saint will be even more powerful.
When he returned to the base, Xiao Yu was surprised to find that the beast soldiers had already produced them. Ten orc burly men with sharp fangs stood at the door of the barracks, looking at Xiao Yu, saluted together, and shouted: "Master."
Xiao Yu was very satisfied with their performance, obviously they were very loyal to him. Observing these green-skinned beast soldiers, although they were a little shorter than Grom, they were still much stronger than ordinary humans. Each orc was almost as wide as two Xiao Yu, his arms were thicker than his thighs, and they had powerful explosive power. With a slap, they could probably swing Xiao Yu away.
Such soldiers, when brought to the battlefield, can be imagined how strong the combat power they have. One fights three regular human soldiers are conservative numbers.
The only thing that made Xiao Yu dissatisfied was that the weapons of these orcs were all rusty axes and had no armor on them, as if they were from remote rural tribes.
Xiao Yu asked about the system and indeed he had to wait until the blacksmith shop came out before he could make armor and weapons for them.
With ten soldiers, Xiao Yu felt that he was already confident, but these ten soldiers still did not help much in the battle against Karu.
According to Xiao Yu's understanding, Karu's territory is not small in size, with a regular army of 20,000. Although not all of them are coming, at least thousands of people can come. Xiao Yu now has only four or five hundred soldiers in the castle, and with these few beast soldiers, he is not an opponent at all.
Even if the beast soldiers are strong, at most one to three, or even four or five, they cannot compete with more than a dozen or hundreds.
Xiao Yu calculated that at least four or five hundred beast soldiers must be at least four or five hundred, and then they cooperate with the soldiers in the city to defend the city to defeat Kalu.
However, four or five hundred soldiers need 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins.
Where can I find these gold coins?
It is also a big expense to build a hole for them as soon as possible to solve their food problems.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu asked about the system. As long as there was a hole in the ground, the beast tribe could get food inside, and there was no need to find any extra food. Just like in the game, this made Xiao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, such a group of tall and big guys would definitely taste less.
"Go back and ask how many gold coins there are in the castle. Such a large territory should have some savings. As long as there are 40,000 or 50,000 gold coins, I can recruit Beast soldiers and resist Karu." Xiao Yu thought so, so he asked Grom and ten Beast soldiers to guard the camp, and he rode back on his horse.
Xiao Yu rode back to the castle quickly, but because it was dark, the castle was closed at this time.
"Open the door, open the door. I'm not back yet, you guys will close the door." Xiao Yu yelled at the above.
The soldiers above saw that it was Xiao Yu, and immediately opened the city gate and let him in. Because they knew that Karu might lead troops to fight soon, the butler Xiao Hong ordered the city gate to be closed earlier these days.
Xiao Yu rode his horse back to his residence and said to the little girl who served him: "Go and call Uncle Hong."
The little girl was cleaning the room. She was told that the city lord might not come back today, but she didn't expect Xiao Yu to run back again.
The little girl put down her work and ran out immediately to call Xiao Hong.
Xiao Yu paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to recruit soldiers and build a base next.
Although there is a base for Warcraft, the current situation is not optimistic. If you want to stabilize the situation, there are still many things to do.
Money, the most important thing now, is money. Only with money can it develop rapidly. He came to Xiao Hong over, mainly for money.
After a while, Xiao Hong had already appeared outside Xiao Yu's door and said respectfully: "Young Master, what are your instructions?"
In Xiao Hong's opinion, Xiao Yu must have run away when he rode out today. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu came back tonight.
Seeing Xiao Hong, Xiao Yu hurriedly let him in. Looking at the old man with gray hair and turbid eyes, Xiao Yu knew that he had already been worried about this territory, especially when he encountered such a prodigal son.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Yu saw Xiao Hong's unanimous look and his mute expression, and he didn't know how to speak. According to his previous memory, this prodigal son has made many excuses to ask the old housekeeper for money. But all the money was taken out to spend money.
"Uncle Hong, you also know that our territory is facing a huge crisis now. Although it was caused by me, I am now thinking of ways to make up for it. Karu will send someone to fight in a month. I want to hire some mercenaries to defend the territory, so that..." Xiao Yu finally had to speak. In this world, if he does not rely on the power of this territory, he himself is penniless.
If you want money, you have to find this old housekeeper. Looking at the old housekeeper wearing a shabby dress, Xiao Yu felt guilty. He also knew that the territory was not much money anymore. If he had a little money, as a housekeeper, he would not have dressed like this.
Unexpectedly, the old butler did not have any previous nagging or persuasion this time. This time, the old butler just nodded barely, with a sense of despair and sigh in his eyes, and then turned around and went out.
Not long after, the old housekeeper came back, holding a few heavy bags in his hand.
"These are the last savings of the territory. I left some of them for the five ladies as travel expenses, and the rest is all here. The young master takes care of himself all the way, Long Hui and I will stay here. We have been following the Lord Lord for so long and are old, so we don't want to go anywhere anymore." The Lord Lord mentioned by the old butler was Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Zhantian, not him, Xiao Yu.
The old housekeeper's words obviously mean that he had no hope for the territory and had begun to dismiss the personnel. He thought that Xiao Yu had just started to leave in a hurry and did not bring money, so he had to come back at night, so he had already prepared the money in advance.
"This... Uncle Hong, you have to believe me. I really have a way to save the territory. Don't let my sister-in-law and the others go. I can definitely defeat Karu." Xiao Yu looked at the old butler's gloomy gaze and said anxiously. He now has a base for Warcraft, and as long as there is a period of time, he will definitely develop.
The old butler just nodded, bowed and said, "Take care, take care of your husband, and I will take my leave."
After saying that, Xiao Hong retreated.
After Xiao Hong left, Xiao Yu sighed helplessly. Everyone in this territory no longer has any hope for him.
It’s no wonder that they were too slutty in the past.
"Damn it, this bastard is a prodigal son, I'll clean up such a mess." Even Xiao Yu himself was so angry that he was so angry that he was itchy about Xiao Yu before.
Xiao Yu didn't care too much, and immediately poured out the gold coins first, counted roughly, and estimated a quantity. He needed to plan how to develop the base quickly.
In the end, Xiao Yu confirmed that these gold coins were about 4,000 or less than 5,000. It was really cowardly enough to have only such a little money left in a territory.
Four thousand gold coins can summon forty Beast soldiers, but it is still far from enough. Even if the Beast soldiers can fight, one fights five, it will be the limit.
"Damn it, money, a penny stumps the hero. So that's how it is." Xiao Yu, who is used to living a life as an otaku, has never been in such a difficult situation.
In the past, he didn't spend much money, and he used it for games. It was enough to save money and didn't have to worry too much about money. But now, he needs too much money and he has no way to make money.
"Where can I get the money?" Xiao Yu didn't sleep well this night and kept paced around the room until the early morning when he fell on the bed and sniffed for a while.
Early in the morning, after Xiao Yu got up, he quickly ran out of the city with a few bags of gold coins.
The old butler Xiao Hong also got up very early, silently looked at Xiao Yu who was leaving without saying anything. Then, he went to the lord's hall to meet several young ladies.
"Young ladies, you go. If you don't leave, it will be too late." At this time, in the lord's hall, the guard captain Long Hui was persuading Xiao Yu's five sister-in-law.
"Let them go. I am already from the Xiao family and I don't go anywhere. At worst, I will die here. Especially the fourth and fifth sisters. You are still young girls. Don't be a pity here." Xiao Yu's sister-in-law Qi Yin said.
"Hmph, I won't leave. Do you think I'm the prodigal son? I want to stay and fight Karu to the end. Let the fifth sister go. He came for the fifth sister, so I can't let the fifth sister fall into his hands." Xiao Yu's fourth sister-in-law, dressed in military uniform and had a cold temperament, said.
"Dear sisters-in-law, don't worry about me. If Karu insists on robbing me, at worst I will die and will never destroy the Xiao family's family's family style." Xiao Yu's fifth sister-in-law Xiwen also said.
