The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Pierce didn't want to kneel down at all. It wasn't that he was unwilling to sacrifice his face for his brother. If Xu Lai really didn't agree, he could really kneel down.

Just looking at Xu Lai's face, he was not over 25 years old. For a genius knight in his 30s to kneel down to a stinky 25-year-old boy, he really had to have a very thick skin.

So Xu Lai helped him, and this super knight, who was two meters tall and weighed half a ton in armor, was easily supported.

You know, this guy's power is so terrifying that he just knocked away his two seventh-level knights.

Of course, being the commander of the Temple Knights is not as simple as just talking about it. If it were just a talk, Pierce would not be so reluctant to attach himself to Aini.

In fact, even though Xu Lai agreed, his talent and expertise were not attached to Pierce.

Becoming the commander of the Temple Knights is a very solemn matter.

Xu Lai was treated as an honored guest, accompanied by Archbishop Duer and Archpriest Ryan, and stayed at the temporary residence of the temple.

In order to show the sincerity of the temple, the guards brought by Xu Lai were stationed outside Archbishop Duer's tent. Not far away was the unusually quiet group of priests.

The temple really attaches great importance to the war with the stronghold camp, because if one party fails to fight, let alone the empire camp, the entire human race will probably be exterminated.

When they arrived at the tent, Duer told Xu Lai about the current situation. The confrontation between humans and the demon legions had an advantage at the beginning, including Grand Duke Yuwen of the Eastern Empire who joined forces with the elves to eliminate the undead.

However, just after the stronghold camp crossed the Pingfeng Mountains, an enemy who had been expected launched an attack on the empire.

That's right, it's the dungeon camp that digs holes everywhere.

Relying on underground entrances and exits throughout the entire Engeta continent, the underground city launched a full-scale attack on the empire.

The strength of the dungeon is not very strong. The Human Empire also has the support of the tower camp. Even with the addition of the dungeon, it is only three versus three.

But the empire collapsed, and the four empires fought independently. Before, they could barely unite by relying on the central adjustment of the temple. Now they are surrounded by underground cities, and the power of the human race is completely unable to be unified.

The most egregious thing is that this time the three evil camps have an unprecedented unity. The dungeon camp takes advantage of its own underground passages to transfer the demonic and undead forces.

The undead, who had been beaten back steadily, received endless support from the rear, and their momentum instantly increased.

Originally, the undead could only come to the Engeta Continent through the Cursed Land, so for hundreds of thousands of years, countless undead souls had accumulated, but they had never been able to cause much harm to the entire continent.

The reason is that the high-end power of the undead cannot match that of humans and elves, and they cannot open the passage to the cursed land, making it impossible for the undead to use their most powerful sea of ​​​​dead tactics.

Nowadays, with the continuous emergence of underground passages, the demise and overthrow of the human empire in Middle-earth really only happens in an instant.

If the orcs were allowed to open up the grasslands, obtain the western passage into Middle-earth, and participate in the melee at any time, the human race would really be destroyed.

Therefore, the already stretched temple still sent the Eighth Knights to the grassland, and also sent an additional 3,000-person priest group, as well as a priest group that was almost never dispatched.

There are only three priest groups in the entire empire camp. One was originally in the hands of the Empire's Supreme King. After the death of the Supreme King, he returned to the temple.

One of the other two is in the hands of the Pope, and the other is a permanent cursed place.

As the Crimson Archbishop, Duer has the right to read intelligence from all over the country. The information he understands is countless times more comprehensive than Xu Lai.

The key is that the other party has no need to deceive him, and Xu Lai certainly does not need to doubt the authenticity of the information.

After briefly introducing the current situation in Engels Continent to Xu Lai, Duer stopped talking.

Ryan on the side continued: "The stronghold camp is mainly composed of orcs, supplemented by half-orcs.

The orcs have always respected martial arts, and they attach great importance to duels and decisive battles.

Since they agreed to the decisive battle, they will not make small moves outside of the decisive battle, but they will also use 120% of their strength during the decisive battle.

Earl Ani was originally unwilling to fight the orcs, and now he was forced to appear here.

It is conceivable that on the day of the decisive battle, Count Aini will definitely let our Temple Knights take the lead.

And, to be honest, as the saying goes, one soldier is a raging enemy, and there are a raging group of generals. Even if Count Aini wants to take the lead, we are not at ease.

If we can't stop the first wave of the orcs' fierceness, I can't even imagine how much morale the human coalition will lose, and all future battles may collapse at the drop of a hat.

Therefore, those who resist the first wave of the Orc Legion's charge must be the best among the best. "

Hearing this, Xu Lai's brows were knitted tightly.

The Knights of the Temple should take the lead, but he had just taken over the command of the Knights of the Temple.

"The actual commander of the Temple Knights should be Mr. Pierce. My specialization coverage is relatively wide. I believe it should be able to cover the entire battlefield."

The implication is that it would be best not to even think about letting him lead the charge.

If this wave of human coalition forces is wiped out by the orcs' vanguard army, then the entire grassland will inevitably fall into the hands of the stronghold camp. There is no doubt about this.

Xu Lai's Qingfeng Town must either move or be destroyed, and there is no third way.

Therefore, even if it was for himself, Xu Lai had to come and contribute in this war.

But it's just a contribution. He has no relationship with the natives of this world. Xu Lai will sigh when the other person dies, and he may not even feel sad.

Is it possible to expect Xu Lai to work hard for them?

What's more, there is an old saying in China, which is that if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.

Even if Qingfeng Town is destroyed, Xu Lai still has another town-level castle heart and many rare resources in his space backpack, and there are still 100,000 gold coins in the money box. There is no need to worry about changing places to make a comeback.

"Xu Lai, you should know that you completely offended this stingy Aini today."

Xu Lai nodded bitterly and said, "I didn't plan to work in his hands at first. It was only a matter of time before I offended him."

Ryan nodded and said: "Although the Aini is despised, it cannot change the fact that he is the master of the grassland that has long been enfeoffed by the empire.

Even if you don't lead the Temple Knights to charge, he will definitely put you and your subordinates at the front when he arranges his troops.

But if it's the other way around, if you lead the Temple Knights to charge, not only can you silence Aini, but I can also promise you on behalf of the Temple:

All our priests, priests and paladins will ensure your safety as soon as possible, and even the lives of your men. "

"Even if you really die on the spot, Mr. Pierce will definitely bring your body out intact.

At that time, even if the human coalition is defeated, I will use resurrection to revive you before I die. "

Resurrection is the most powerful auxiliary spell that only the most senior clergy can master. Only twelve crimson archbishops in the entire temple can cast it.

No one else, including the Pope, can use this powerful spell.

Archbishop Duer's statement was to tell Xu Lai that as long as they were still alive, Xu Lai's life would be guaranteed.

Even if Xu Lai fought or fled after their death, they would not pursue it again.

The key is that as Ryan said, even if Xu Lai doesn't want to be the vanguard officer, Count Aini will definitely not let him go.

Instead, he agreed to Ryan's request and Xu Lai had more chances to survive.

Looking at the two of them helplessly, Xu Lai said bitterly:

"Why are you staring at me so hard? I am an ordinary person who has only been in this world for more than a month. Even if I charge at the front with you, what will it do?"

This is what Xu Lai doesn't understand the most.

The Crimson Archbishop shook his head and said: "Your Excellency still cannot understand what the identity of a hero means to the people and even the nobility of this world."

Pierce, who was outside the tent, was stepping in and suddenly said: "When a hero's flag appears at the forefront of the battle, all the people will truly believe in the hero and strengthen their faith.

A nation can sacrifice and fall, but it must never lose faith.

Only when they have faith can their sacrifice be meaningful, and their fall can inspire thousands of human beings to stand up again. "

Walking up to Xu Lai, Pierce clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Head of the Eighth Knights of the Temple, Holy Light Knight Pierce."

"Captain of the first team of the Eighth Knights of the Temple, Paladin Duma

Captain of the Second Team of the Eighth Knights of the Temple, Paladin Walker

...The captain of the third team, Paladin Love

…”

Following Pierce was a high-level paladin, and behind them was a sixth-level official knight.

Each formal knight is accompanied by two knight followers and four apprentice knights. In addition to a total of 4 paladins, one main and three mates, a team also has 16 formal knights.

Therefore, this Temple Knights, plus Pierce and his bodyguard Paladins, besides the knights, there are a total of one eighth-level Holy Light Knight, 50 Paladins, 200 official knights, 400 knight retinues and 800 trainees. knight.

These nearly 1,500 knights, led by Pierce, reported their names and identities to Xu Lai one by one.

In the end, Pierce took the lead and swore: "We are willing to unconditionally accept the leadership of Commander Xu Lai during the battle with the stronghold camp.

We will use our flesh and blood as shields and our bodies as swords, follow in the footsteps of His Excellency Xu Lai, and unite under the banner of His Excellency Xu Lai. "
