Chapter 268

Xiao Yu began to pay more attention to his own safety after the incident . His own strength was low for now and he couldn’t fight back against a fifth-rank assassin . Xiao Yu believed that he would be dead for sure if a sixth-rank assassin came after him .

Xiao Yu stayed in the tent for the next few days . He believed that he was a thick-skinned man but found out that he couldn’t go out of shyness . Toube Hong came over to persuade him for a few times and told Xiao Yu that he was a victim too . But Xiao Yu saw the treacherous expression on Touba Hong’s face .

Xiao Yu didn’t act for a few days but Ba Tianming wasn’t seen in public for more than two weeks . Xiao Yu lead his troops to kill tens of thousands of people during this time frame . Maiev was the one to shine in all those attacks . She killed a lot of people and reached level 18 easily . Xiao Yu saw that her potential was much more better than Cairne and Grom’s and her future was promising as an assassin . Grom had reached level 24 by this time . He had killed a lot of centaurs and bandits in during raid to Red beard’s lair . At the moment he was the one with the highest level among the heroes and heroines . Cairne and Antonidas were at level 22 . They were exceptional in battles too but they didn’t participate and fight as much as Grom . Tyrande had reached level 23 too .

Xiao Yu wanted the heroes reach level 30 by the end of this war . If it happened so then they would be able to fight against fourth-rank warriors with ease . Moreover, Xiao Yu knew that the ultimate skills of the heroes and heroines haven’t appeared yet so they would be unstoppable after they acquired those skills .

…

…

Xiao Yu and Touba Hong were eating and drinking when a guard came to report that an assassin had infiltrated the town and wanted to meet Touba Hong . The assassin had told to the guards that he was working under a general and he had come with a message from that general . Touba Hong immediately ordered the assassin to be brought into his presence .

“Who is Hattum?” Xiao Yu curiously asked .

Touba Hong replied: “General Hattum belongs to Longyou tribe from the north . The tribe has more than hundred of thousand people . My strength would be increased a lot if I can get their allegiance . ”

Xiao Yu nodded: “I hope it will . ”

A man wearing a huge cloak arrived to stand in front of Touba Hong after a while . The man bowed: “Greetings Emperor!”

Toube Hong nodded: “Were you sent by General Hattum?”

The man replied: “Yes, I’m General Hattum’s bodyguard . The general had arrived with his army and is 30 miles away from the Wuhe town so that our army isn’t discovered by Ba Tianming’s scouts . The general sent me to get Emperor’s orders . ”

Touba Hong nodded: “General Hattum have come to join me… Does it mean that the Longyou tribe have decided to give their allegiance too?”

The man shook his head: “Elders of the Longyou tribe think that Emperor killed the previous emperor so they don’t want to trust you . But General Hattum took ten thousand elite soldiers and fled to join you . ”

Touba Hong nodded slightly .

“Sit down and eat something for now . ” Touba Hong showed the place for the man to sit and enjoy from the barbecue .

Touba Hong said after he pondered for a while: “General Hattum will be an enermous help to me . Go back and tell him that he will be sealed and known as the first general of the Empire . ”

The man was overjoyed when he heard Touba Hong’s reply . He bowed to thank Touba Hong and then asked: “When should our troops enter the Wuhe town? We want to protect the Emperor!”

Touba Hong waved his hand: “No need to enter the town for now . . Ba Tianming would be going for a decisive attack and we will need someone to attack them from the rear . General Hattum’s troops can burn their barracks and enter the Wuhe town after the war ends . ”

The man replied: “Yes, I’ll go back to report to general . ”

Touba Hong nodded: “You can leave . ”

The man bowed once again and departed .

“It’s a good idea to make them stay there for a while . It won’t be wise to let them enter the Wuhe town as we can’t be sure about their loyalty… If a rebellion occurs inside the town then we would lose the town . . If they do well and prove their loyalty then the general can get the rewards . . Otherwise, the situation would stay as is…” Xiao Yu saw that Touba Hong’s approach to solve this matter was very wise .

Touba Hong smiled: “I’m not that stupid to belive in loyalty of so many people…”

Touba Hong’s strength would increase by double with the allegiance of General Hattum . However, there were no guarantees for now . It all depended on if General Hattum did really attack Ba Tianming’s troops rear while Xiao Yu charged from front .

Moreover, Touba Hong was aware the importance of this war . The powers from different regions of the empire were ‘watching’ the war at this point . They would send people to join him in the Wuhe town in case he did win the war . Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any support . This war would be fatal for Touba Hong to show his strength to others . There were many other powers who were waiting to see who would take the upper hand at this point . Toube Hong had to convine the rets of the empire that he was a person who could be regarded as an emperor by the others . As a result, he didn’t have a choice but to win this war .

Xiao Yu got report from Leah and Maiev on the same day that there were huge ceremony and ritual going on in the enemy camp . Moreover, heavy instruments were brought to the front to launch the offensive attack .

Ba Tianming had faced huge humiliation so he must be planning to capture the Wuhe town in one go . Ba Tianming had to seize the town, capture Xiao Yu and Touba Hong to scrub off the shame .

It was obvious that Ba Tianming didn’t appear in front of the army for so long out of humiliation . But the last preparations were proof that Ba Tianming would make a big move .

In this grasslands there were almost no use of siege equipments so the appearance of so many ballistas and catapults meant that they were newly manufactured . Xiao Yu and Touba Hong stood on top of the walls as they watched the enemy camps . They were aware more than anyone that the last war that would decide the their fate was about to happen .
