Chapter 55
Full moon was hanging in the sky and the silverish rays of light fell down on earth. Xiao Yu hade to Carrie’s father’s territory with Death Knight Arthas, dozens of ghouls and dozens of shades to harass the civilians.
Carrie’s territory wasn’t close to Xiao Yu’s territory. It took them one day to travel to reach the ce. Moreover, Xiao Yu had decided to wait until the evening to begin the harassment.
Development and infrastructure at Carrie’s father’s territory was muchrger than Xiao Yu’s territory. Xiao Yu had only onerge town which was the size of a city but with less poption. However, Carrie’s father was sessful in establishing viges and towns all over his own territory.
Xiao Yu wasn’t nning to go to capital city to find trouble. He believed that it was enough to harass the poption living in the viges. There were dozens of small viges and towns in the vicinity of their capital city. If he could begin arge-scale migration from these viges and towns then his n was a sess.
In addition, he was nning to kill one or two soldiers that they met to give a better effect to his propaganda. Nevertheless, Xiao Yu prohibited ghouls and shades to kill innocent people.
...
...
It was night time and they reached a vige which had about 100 families. Most of them were farmers and because of the time of the day all of the families were asleep. asionally, you could hear barks of dogs or sounds of animals.
“Imitate the voices of ghosts!” Xiao Yu ordered ghouls and shades.
Creak~ Creak~
The ghouls began to issue otherworldly sounds while shades began to imitate human voices.
“Carrie...Carrie... We havee for your life...”
Xiao Yu had ordered Shades to learn to sound like humans. They could make statements which sounded extremely horrifying.
It was part of Xiao Yu’s territory. He wanted to make sure that poption living in the viges understood that Carrie’s father’s territory had attracted ghosts and devils. He was nning to put pressure on Carrie’s father either to behead Carrie or find other ways to appease the poption. It didn’t matter which choice Carrie’s father made the situation wouldn’t be in their favor.
The ghouls couldn’t speak but Shades were able to imitate human voices because they were transformed Acolytes. Xiao Yu ordered them to use their stealth mode and stand by the windows of the houses to speak in creepy voices.
“Carrie... You had killed countless young girls and ate their.... We are here to im...”
Xiao Yu was smiling as he listened to the shades.
He was nting unreal usations on Carrie, his brothers and father.
“Carrie you killed 500 13 year old girls and made gave their meats to the poption to eat... you are cruel to your friend...”
“Carrie...I’m here for your head ...”
“Carrie... Everyone in this territory has to die...”
“Death Knight hase from Hell to avenge us!...Death Knight will kill everyone... Revenge...”
At the same time, Arthas would ride his horse within the vige. The neighs, hisses and hoofs of the Arthas’s deathcharges would echo. The people who looked from the windows would see a horse in mes and Arthas. They would curl back into their beds in fear.
Xiao Yu instructed ghouls to kill dogs and chickens to create a tense atmoshpere.
“Carrie...Death Knight will get revenge for us... for everyone who you have killed...”
“Run away... Leave this cursednds...or you will be killed... my head...” The shades shouted around the vige. One of them created an illusion as if he was a viger and ran away.
“Death Knight hase from the hell... Tonight only one person was killed... Second night 100 will be killed... On the eve of third night everyone will die! ...”
Xiao Yu harassed a total of 4 vige in one night. No one dared toe out as the people were shivering in fear at their homes.
He took Arthas, ghouls and shades into a nearby forest to hide during the daytime to start everything at night once again. He didn’t want the undead creatures to be seen at the daytime. Xiao Yu sneaked into the viges to see the results of his campaign in the daytime. He hadn’t entered the vige when he found outrge number of peasants who had gathered their stuff to leave the vige. Xiao Yu walked over.
“What’s going on? Where are you all going over?” Xiao Yu scratched his head as he asked.
“Where? Anywhere but here! You are not a local so lemme tell you boy! If you don’t leave this ce you will die tonight. A death knight from hell hase over to avenge Carrie so run for your life!”
The man ran away without replying to Xiao Yu’s further questions.
Xiao Yu had a proud smile on his face as he looked at busy people.
....
...
Xiao Yu went to harass the other viges the next night. This time a patrol team was over to guard the viges. It seems Carrie’s father had sent a team to gather intelligence about the situation. Moreover, patrols would stabilize the fears of the poption.
Xiao Yu saw that the units were small and made up of less than 30 soldiers. He waved at Arthas so that the death knight would lead the ghouls to kill them.
Death Knight was at level 4 and had following skills: Death Coil (lvl 2), Death Pact (level 1) and Animate the Dead (level 1).
Death Coil skill could kill the enemies and restore the injuries of the ghouls. Death Pact skill was able to restore Death Knight’s health. Animate the Dead was able to summon dead from the otherworld as zombies. It was good enough to cause panic in the vige. People would be afraid to death when they saw their own rtives move around as zombies.
The soldiers were ambushed by Arthas and ghouls. Their morale was down the moment they saw the evil spirits and creatures that they had heard from legends. Any person would be afraid when facing undeads. It was an instinctive reason.
Xiao Yu was able to hone his own skills after numerous battles. He was able to perfectly sync wind walk, and omnish skills to kill enemies.
It was inevitable for him to participate in the battlefield even though he was amander. Moreover, his legs didn’t go soft the moment he saw blood anymore.
Real battle of life and death was the perfect training ground. As a result, Xiao Yu was already a qualified warrior. Nevertheless, he was a sissy boy inparison to Grom and other heroes.
It took less than ten seconds to kill more than twenty soldiers. The soldiers were afraid the moment they saw Arthas’s mount. Moreover, frostmourne was a weapon that they couldn’t resist. Arthas’s sword wasn’t just any runede. It wasn’t exactly frostmourne but its shape was extremely familiar to it. The damage of the runede wasn’t high at the beginning so Xiao Yu had upgraded it. Fortunately, all the cksmiths had risen to level 2 so frostmourne was very sharp after the upgrade. Xiao Yu ordered the ghouls to bite flesh of the dead soldiers and tie them from the trees for the gory effect to be more influential in the morning.
...
...
Xiao Yu was able to harass vast majority of viges and towns in the several days. The poption began to mass migrate from Carrie’s father’s territory. Most of the migrants choose to go to Lion town because Xiao Yu had already sent people to promote his own territory in advance.
Lion town wasn’t very far from this territory. Moreover, the people knew that the lord of the Lion town had defeated Carrie’s army and Xiao Yu had a grand prestige in this territory. Moreover, most of the people hadn’t gone out of their viges in their lifetime. So they simply didn’t know much about the outside world and were aware of few territories that were close to their viges.
However, after a few days of harassment Carrie’s father began to send countless soldiers as patrol to kill undeads. Moreover, it was whispered that Carrie’s father had sent people to Wei Principality to seek the pdins and priests from Church of Light.
Church of Holy Light was a religious ce but on the other hand they fought against the undead creatures.
Xiao Yu had to go back to Lion town to prepare for the travel. He left ghouls and shades at Arthas’s leadership.
However, Xiao Yu made few strict orders that Arthas had to implement at all costs. First and foremost order was that the undeads couldn’t kill innocent poption. They had to choose soldiers but not normal people. Second order was that they couldn’t act too aggressive. Arthas had to send shades for investigation before going into any vige. Third order was to have dys between the attacks. Thest and the most important order was for Arthas to keep his own life at all costs. If Arthas saw that the situation was unfavorable then he had to escape. Deathcharger was a fast horse so Xiao Yu believed that Arthas should be able to escape.
Afterwards, he went back to Lion town to prepare for the meeting with the Wang family.
