The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 116 Apology and Supply Truck
There were no entertainment activities at night in another world, so several people, including Su Ya, sat around the fire and listened to Wei Yihong's narration.
At the beginning, when Wei Yihong described the changes in the town, Xu Lai also asked in detail.
But when Wei Yihong later heard that the temple planned to connect the three nearby towns to form a small and medium-sized fortress city as a forward position to resist the orcs, he fell silent after all.
Especially when I heard that in order to build this fortress, not only all the villages and towns in the front were demolished, but also several small town-level villages close to the rear were demolished.
In other words, Xu Lai had run far enough back then, a distance that even required half a day to ride a horse, and it was still a no man's land where no one visited the grassland back then.
Xu Lai calculated that based on their original traveling speed, his Qingfeng Village should be at least 60 kilometers away from those small towns.
You must know that the troops he leads are monsters. Unless the physical strength reaches the bottom, Xu Lai will not rest unless he calls out to stop.
The speed of such a march cannot be equal to ordinary walking speed.
However, Xu Lai's location may be a no-man's land that humans have never entered before.
But now that the orcs are invading in large numbers, the originally open grassland has become crowded, and the orcs will definitely not care whether it is a no-man's land or not.
As long as they break through the frontline fortress, the entire grassland, except for the vicinity of Count Aini's castle, will basically be free for the orcs to roam.
Xu Lai hesitated. He was wondering whether he should move to the rear before the war between the stronghold and the empire broke out.
However, although the rear area is safe, the population is also dense. There will definitely not be such a vast no-man's land for Xu Lai to explore, and his development will be extremely seriously hindered.
"Old Wei, in your opinion, who can win this battle between humans and orcs?"
Xu Lai was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment. Wei Yihong could not have guessed the result, but he also understood Xu Lai's worries and couldn't help but comfort him:
"Don't worry, boss. Later I met your friend High Priest Ryan in the temple. In your name, I reached some deals with the temple and also took the opportunity to ask for a lot of information."
Xu Lai nodded. He was no longer interested in the transaction and asked directly for information.
"The orcs are blocked by the Pingfeng Mountains, and currently only a part of the advance troops, mainly the Wolf Fighters and Wolf Knights, have turned over.
In addition, there are the orcs' golden eagles, rocs and other flying units, and they are not large-scale yet.
It is said that the orcs also set up a large teleportation array, but unfortunately it failed and was destroyed by a wave of charges from the temple knights, killing hundreds of orc priests.
However, I did not see the corpses of orcs in the town. Instead, many humans were hanged at the gate of the town for various reasons. "
After listening to the information obtained by Wei Yihong, Xu Lai had a basic understanding of the current situation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the high-end combat power of the stronghold is not as much as that of the human race, but it has basically mastered the air superiority.
Humans and orcs have clashed several times, and the humans have basically won.
However, there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming over Pingfeng Mountain from the stronghold, and on the human side, the only reinforcements are a knightly group of only 500 people sent by Count Aini.
Both the Northern Empire and the Western Empire were unwilling to send reinforcements on the pretext of war.
High Priest Ryan said that he is still negotiating with Earl Aini, and this grassland is Earl Aini's territory after all.
The temple will eventually take all the believers and hide inland. By then, Count Ani, who has lost his territory, will become worthless.
Therefore, High Priest Ryan concluded that Earl Aini would eventually bring all the troops up, and coupled with the reinforcements from the temple, the human race would not suffer in terms of high-end combat power.
After all, it was the empire that once drove the orcs into the wild land. Even if it suffered a disaster now, it could not be bullied by anyone.
Moreover, the evil camp is attacking one after another, and the tower, which is also a human being, cannot really sit back and watch the human race perish. However, the grudge between the tower and the temple is too deep, and the temple has not sent a message for help to the tower so far.
But the elves and dwarves of the barrier have promised to send reinforcements.
However, because of the long distance, there will not be too many people, but they will mostly be elites.
Although the low-level troops of the orcs are far superior to humans, these large numbers of low-level troops are unable to cross the Pingfeng Mountains. In a real fight, the humans have a chance of winning.
After getting the news, Xu Lai felt somewhat at ease, but not completely at ease.
There is always a feeling of placing one's life and death on others.
After all, he was still not strong enough, so Xu Lai couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.
Xu Lai has not relaxed at all for so many days. Originally, he planned to clean up the wild monsters nearby and relax for a day or two.
There are so many black-hearted bosses in modern society, and they are not said to exploit others in this way. They are either killing monsters or on the way to kill monsters every day. Not only are they physically exhausted, but their spirits are also always highly tense.
If this continues, he will kill himself before the horse thief comes to get him.
But when Wei Yihong said this, Xu Lai gritted his teeth secretly and told himself to hold on.
Seeing Xu Lai's expression softening, Wei Yihong recounted the transaction between himself and Ryan. With Tahan present, he did not add any fuel to the fire or conceal anything.
After hearing this, Xu Lai glanced at Wei Yihong lightly.
Xu Lai may not be able to see much difference from before in normal times, but on the inside, Xu Lai today and Xu Lai in the past can almost be said to be two completely different people.
Not to mention killing real people like horse thieves, even if you kill hundreds of chickens or pigs a day, people will become completely different.
This glance instantly made Wei Yihong's heart skip a beat.
It's not like he hasn't killed monsters before, but he's a powerless modern salesman who works in a profession like a priest that increases intelligence and spirit. Of course, he can't personally do it.
Relying on the healing skills passed down from his ancestors, his early land reclamation went smoothly. Not a single soldier died, and he gradually climbed up the ranks.
After upgrading, it will be even more difficult, and it will be easier for him to mix, and he will not have to do it himself.
Therefore, Wei Yihong did not expect that a compatriot who was younger than him would feel frightened just by looking at him.
"Um, boss, I'm sorry. I was wrong about this first. I promised resources other than weapons and equipment without your permission."
After thinking about it, Wei Yihong decided to take responsibility for his mistakes first. Even if he suffered some punishment for it, it didn't matter if all the promised bonuses were deducted.
Xu Lai shook his head and said: "I was also wrong, I didn't take care of him clearly.
You are in sales, and when you sell products, you always have to promise something to your customers.
And you did a good job. I planned to swallow all the things I originally seized from the horse thieves.
However, it is impossible for thieves to just grab gold coins. If we don't have the temple to endorse us, it will be difficult for us to sell the hoarded goods.
Let's balance the merits and demerits. I won't give you any extra rewards, but I won't treat my previous promises as farts either.
This time, I guess I won't be able to get back much gold coins. So, the prairie horse you rode out today will be regarded as a bonus for you.
Even if one day you want to find another job, you can take this horse with you.
In addition, if you see any equipment that is suitable for you in the market in a small town, you can also choose a suitable piece and buy it. What do you think? "
Wei Yihong was overjoyed. He was a priest, and his initial mount was not even an ordinary horse, but just a pack horse.
However, he also sold this packhorse in the market for a full 100 gold coins. Later, he paid for another 80 gold coins from his own pocket, and then returned with a regular horse that was better to ride.
In the city where he stayed before, an ordinary prairie horse cost at least 300 gold coins.
The horse Xu Lai gave him has a docile character and fast speed. It can be regarded as a high-quality grassland horse. The price is estimated to be more than 350 gold.
In addition, Xu Lai also promised him a piece of useful equipment, which should be worth more than 400 gold in total.
According to what was said before, he needs to create 4,000 gold extra wealth for Xu Lai in order to get a share of 400 gold.
But he had created some extra wealth, but if those equipment were sold on the market, they would be sold at a higher price, which meant that Xu Lai lost a lot of gold coins.
Of course, he also brought very practical things to Xu Lai.
For example, that map was large and detailed. Except for the no-man's land where he was, all other areas of human activity were basically drawn on it.
When combined with his own map, a rough map of Pingfeng Grassland was almost complete.
There is also the treasure sent by the temple. Ordinary merchants will not take out the treasure and sell it casually. Except for certain people, only nobles and heroes like Xu Lai can use this thing.
Therefore, except for transactions between nobles, it is not circulated at ordinary times.
[Supply Vehicle] (Small): A small supply vehicle with 3,000 storage spaces inside. Each storage space can store one unit of supplies, regardless of size and weight.
In addition to the threat of possible sneak attacks from thieves, another important reason that restricted Xu Lai's expedition was that his space backpack was not enough.
His space backpack is not divided into compartments like a supply truck. Everything can be stacked together, and only the overall volume is considered.
Therefore, if he wants to lead his troops on an expedition, he must store enough food and arrows. After all, there are no wooden houses in the wild and there is no way to restore arrows for the archers.
But the gold coins, wood, stones, and gems he stored couldn't be thrown away or placed in a random place.
These are all his family assets. Once Qingfeng Village is destroyed, he will need these things to start anew.
Therefore, the food and arrows he can carry are limited.
But with this supply truck, he can store at least 3,000 units of food.
Xu Lai tried it himself. A quiver can be regarded as a unit of arrows, but if the arrows are taken out, only one can be placed in each space.
He has seven pairs of quivers here, plus the ones he doesn't use, he can make up to 10 pairs, which is equivalent to storing more than 300 arrows.
As for food, one grid is one unit. Even if Xu comes to bring a big bag and combines a lot of food into one big bag, the supply truck will still pack one unit of food into one grid.
But when taking it out, Xu Lai can still take it out directly in a big bag.
