It took another ten days before Yuxiao was able to get out of bed and walk. But he always felt very weak. Now he had become very familiar with the old man.

 

Seeing the old man come over, Yuxiao smiled and said, “Uncle Li, you come to see me again.”

"Yes, I’m here to see you. I have been worried about you.” The old man looked at Yuxiao with care and said.

"Uncle Li, it's all right. Although I am uglier than before, but it doesn’t matter. As a persn, the most important is to make an impact to the world. It doesn’t matter if he looked good or not, as long as he doesn't waste his talent.” Yuxiao said calmly.

"Well, you're right. Now I am relieved hearing you say so. There has been a lot of battles outside the town. The Evil-Kind is preparing to attack our city. All our patrol squads have retreated. It is the special forces such as the magic cavalry and magic infantry that are fighting with the Evil-Kind. It looks like in about 10 days, the Evil-Kind will start their first major attack. At that time, I won’t be able to come visit you.” Said the old man.

“Our walls were of a hundred meters high and our defending army were of millions of soldiers. If we closed our gate, there would be no casualties. Why do you need to go there?” Yuxiao asked.

"Ah ~! Don’t underestimate the power of the Evil-Kind. Though our city wall was high and our defense was strong, the opponents had more than 10 million soldiers. There are about 10 Warcraft that are of level 9 in their team. It is said that their Warcraft king has reached level 10.”

Uncle Li continued, “A level 9 Warcraft could break through our city wall just by himself. The only fighters who are able to fight against level 9 Warcraft in our countries are the Shenmo. One of them is guarding Dragon town and the other is guarding the capital city of our kingdom. The rest magicians we have, including grand magus and doutian, could only fight against level 8 Warcraft, there were more than 1,000 such Warcraft in the enemy. In total, we only have around 100 grand magus and doutian. Moreover, it is not big deal for level 8 Warcraft to break the defense of our town.”

“It is easier to deal with level 7 Warcraft. Our defense walls will hold them back for a while. But it won’t be long before you break into our town, either. If this happens, our number of soldiers needs to outweigh theirs in order for us to win. But fortunately, we are not the only kingdom being attacked by the Evil-Kind. So they have to allocate their troops among the several kingdoms they are having battles with. Hence, for many years, they haven’t really broken into our town. But even so, every year there were millions of soldiers died in battles like this. ”

"Why did they attack us? Couldn't they come up with a better solution?" Yuiao felt that wars were too cruel and couldn’t help asking.

"For food. In the Evil-Kind, there are not only Warcraft but also demons. Demons need food to sustain their body. Unfortunately, the land they live on is not a place to grow food. Hence, they come to human land to fight for food.” Uncle Li explained.

"If the need food, they can always buy from us. Why do they start wars?"

"We don't have enough food to sell to them. Though we produce lots of grains every year, our population is also growing.”

“Can we give out a piece of land for them to grow food?” Yuxiao continued asking.

“Have you ever seen vacant land when you were out on patrol in the south of our city?” Asked the old man.

Yuxiao nodded.

"That land was where the Evil-Kind encroached us thirty years ago. Back then, our kingdom had one doushen and three grand magus, who subdued the demons. But later, the king of the Evil-Kind attacked us secretly when we were not prepared. When the doushen and three grand magus rushed back, they had killed millions of our civilians. Our doushen and the dragon king started fighting against each other. Three grand magus also entangled with six level 9 Warcraft. In the end, both the doushen and the dragon king were heavily injured. Two grand magus died when the reinforcement from our neighboring country arrived. The two sides tied.
