The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 208 Destroying villages and towns
Xu Lai found many antelopes near Qingfeng Fort. He had eaten a batch before, but after rescuing the group of women from the horse thieves, he was reluctant to eat any more sheep.
Not only did he not eat it, he also drove all the wild sheep, bison, etc. found nearby back to Qingfeng Town at that time.
Being on the grassland, not developing animal husbandry would be a disaster.
Unfortunately, the time is still short. Even with the magic power of the alien continent, the flocks of sheep are not reproducing that fast.
So Xu Lai just slaughtered some useless rams and put them in his space backpack as a food reserve.
In addition to the mutton, there was a prized beef and a lot of leftover horse meat.
The prairie horse is a bodybuilding champion, but its voluptuousness is really not that good.
If you want it to taste good, you still can’t overwork the animals.
Eat and sleep every day, and eat after sleeping, which can not only build fat but also reduce the smell.
It's a pity that they don't want to do it, and all of them are very wild. However, the farmers in other worlds also have experience, and I believe that they will be able to completely tame these animals in a short time.
Xu Lai's supply truck contained quite a lot of rice, flour and vegetables, but the least amount of delicious beef, mutton and fish.
For lunch, he roasted ten wolves, cooked 30 units of rice, boiled 5 large pots of fish soup, and prepared a whole leg of lamb.
However, Xu Lai was not willing to give this big leg of lamb to two rough guys, Tahan and Yan Feng.
And in order to appear not to bully them, even he ate wolf meat.
With a smile on her face, Elvi sat calmly next to Xu Lai, and silently took the half leg of lamb from Xu Lai.
Before finishing a serious lunch, the golden light of settlement finally came.
In fact, the golden light of settlement has not yet arrived, and Xu Lai can also guess that it must be that the ogre is still entangled on the hillside.
"What the hell? Why are there more than 800 ogres dead? There is also an ogre leader, why didn't I see it?"
Yu Lan, who transformed into a giant eagle, still occupied a large space even with her wings folded.
She raised her head and blinked innocently with her two big eyes.
When Xu Lai looked at Elvi, she didn't even raise her head.
Although more than 800 ogres died, which exceeded Xu Lai's expectations, the money required for advancement did not exceed much.
5 trainee knights, 1 knight retinue and 1 level 4 griffon were promoted.
From this perspective, the experience of at least two to three hundred ogres is not reflected in these low-level units.
Levels 4 and 5 cannot be considered low. They are the core strength of the entire empire. Even Count Aini can only form a level 5 infantry legion. Xu Lai is still a cavalry.
However, Xu Lai has just upgraded a large number of high-level units recently, and he is a little bit confused, and he feels that he can't stand up to the 4th and 5th level units.
A trainee knight is promoted to a knight's retinue, a knight's retinue is promoted to a knight, and the griffon is upgraded to a level 5 combat griffon.
The biggest difference between battle griffins and griffins is that they have a complete set of steel protective gear like war horses.
But in fact, this set of protective equipment did not increase their defense much, and it was still much worse than the level 5 knight retinue.
There is no way, the griffon cannot wear protective gear on its vital wings, but the increase in protective gear and size has upgraded the griffin's dive characteristics to a combat dive.
The previous high-speed dive could only cause up to 200% damage to a unit.
After upgrading to combat dive, the combat griffon can cause group damage to units in a small area, but the damage is reduced from the previous 200% to 120%.
There is no doubt that the total damage of the battle griffon has definitely increased significantly, but for a single target, the damage has been reduced a lot, making it difficult to instantly kill units of the same level or even one level lower.
Xu Lai didn't plan to stay in this place for a long time. He would move when the horses and cavalry had recovered enough strength.
As for this mountain col, I am not afraid of being taken back by others. At worst, I can take it back again.
On the contrary, if you stay in one place for a long time, you will be easily targeted by orcs. Among the ogre race, there are also wise men like mages.
Of course, this wise man's strength value is likely to be higher than his intelligence value.
Around this hilltop is an ogre town, which is relatively large on the nearby hilltop.
When Xu Lai and the others approached, they could still see these ogres preparing weapons. Several small catapults obtained from unknown sources were frantically throwing stone projectiles at Xu Lai and the others.
But it's a pity that Xu Lai discovered these catapults from a distance. The intermediate eagle eye skill is more powerful than the watchtower in the ogre town.
Moreover, the accuracy of those ogres was really bad. Xu Lai and the others were not slow, and they easily changed their direction and avoided those stone bullets.
It takes a long time to reload the stone bombs, and the people who control these catapults are obviously unskilled novices.
Xu Lai estimated that if he launched a charge during this period, he could shorten the distance by at least half.
But this also means that it is not easy for them to dodge the next stone bullet, and the damage of this thing is still very high.
Even with the blessing of ultimate defense, Xu Lai didn't want to make such a unnecessary sacrifice. Anyway, the ogre looked like a pauper, and a town probably couldn't afford much wealth.
Xu Lai turned and left directly, and the ogres in the town let out shocking cheers.
But the strange thing is that there seem to be a lot of ogres in this ogre town.
But Xu Lai didn't see any of the powerful ogre warriors and ogre warriors that could be seen at a glance.
There were many ogre warriors in the previous village, but why couldn't there be even a few strong ogres in this town except for a few ogre magicians?
Xu Lai didn't have time to think too much. He had a speed advantage. It would be a waste of resources if he didn't use his speed.
There are so many ogres in this ogre town. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. Even if the mountain col is very big, it is impossible to support so many ogres.
It was obvious that they had come from other villages.
In this case, there should not be many ogres in the villages near this town.
As expected by Xu Lai, the villages in the ambush were either empty, or only large groups of big-eared monsters remained.
He destroyed six nearby villages in succession and killed only a few dozen ogres in total, most of whom were too old to run away.
As a race of ogres, apart from ogre magicians, there are very few old ogres.
As for the big-eared monsters, these things are really worthless. In addition to wasting physical strength, they have very little experience.
There were a thousand big-eared monsters trampled to death in the six villages alone, and their experience value was probably not as good as those of dozens of old ogres.
Xu Lai couldn't stand this. He didn't come to the wilderness just to cause damage. His behavior of harassing the enemy's rear was extremely dangerous. If there was no harvest proportional to it, why bother coming?
He plundered more than a thousand gold coins from 6 villages. Apparently these ogres ran away in a hurry and did not take all their property with them.
However, this amount of gold coins only just covers the cost of Xu Lai's advancement. Some other miscellaneous and worthless things are not worth wasting space. Those that are slightly valuable are not easy to cash out at the moment.
So Xu Lai no longer just demolished homes, after knocking down these ogres' caves and houses, he started setting fires.
Setting fire is a relatively quick way to destroy a village.
Once a fire is passed, a large ogre village can be burned to ashes in half an hour in a dry wilderness.
However, even if the heart of the stronghold is dug out of the burned village, nothing will be gained.
But setting fire is a quick word. There is no need to slowly find the heart of the stronghold buried underground, and there is no need to dig slowly.
The most important thing is that after destroying the village, it will be gone immediately. Others will probably be mentally prepared when they move.
But if you set a fire, the village will not be burned down in one go.
Those ogres just watched helplessly as their property was turned into ruins in the flames. Some of them were mentally prepared.
Sure enough, as soon as Syrah and the others withdrew, the ogres in the town climbed over the mountains, trying to save their last possessions.
In fact, as long as such a fire forms, no one can save it unless a high-level water mage is present.
But obviously, few people are rational about this kind of thing, not to mention that ogres are not a very rational race.
The huge town was in a mess. The town that originally had no walls had only been gone for a few hours, and there was already a wall about half a person's height.
These fences are extremely thick, much stronger than the fences in the villages, but it's a pity that they haven't been built yet.
In the chaos, just as an ogre sounded the alarm, Xu Lai personally led the cavalry and appeared not far away.
A leap across the wall, a sharp thrust from the lance, and two or three ogres were impaled on the vanguard flag.
The charge was blocked by the numbers of the thick ogres.
However, these ogres were obviously not prepared for battle, and were directly overwhelmed by the continuous cavalry behind Xu Lai.
There were already a large number of ogres rushing back to put out the fire. At this time, these ogres from the town also followed, and they all climbed up the hillsides on both sides.
Xu Lai did not stop, waving the flag and kept charging and advancing. The cavalry behind him also changed their weapons and replaced them with long swords that were sharper in close combat.
This can't be called a battle at all, it can only be called a massacre.
The only people in the entire town who offered resistance were the few ogre magicians.
The bloodthirsty thaumaturgy had no effect. Several mages each threw a fireball. Before the second fireball could be thrown, they were shot dead on the spot by Yan Feng and other heroes.
Xu Lai's defensive skills had no effect on spell damage, but he had primary resistance, and coupled with the effect of rune-patterned trousers, several fireballs still failed to kill him instantly.
The holy healing spells used by the paladins one after another restored Xu Lai's blood volume to full value almost instantly.
Rushing at the front and carrying the flag of stabbing Behemoth to death, Xu Lai was so eye-catching that he naturally became the target of fire.
Fortunately, the fireballs were not thrown by several mages at the same time. In addition, Xu Lai's current health value is pretty good, close to 300 points. It is considered a near miss, and even the special effect of the ultimate defense technique was not triggered. (End of chapter)
