The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai actually had no intention of penetrating the orcs' tens of thousands of people. As the saying goes, once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

When Jebadas attacked the city, the outermost were nearly 5,000 orc warriors.

On the inner layer are the Orc ax throwers, and on the innermost layer are the Orc warriors and the bodyguards of Jebadas.

Under layers of obstacles, although Jebadas's long-range troops could not attack Xu Lai, Xu Lai could not get past the orc warriors to attack the relatively vulnerable long-range troops.

Jebadas's long-range troops only need to deal with the enemies on the city wall. They attack upwards, so they will not be blocked by the orc warriors on the left and right.

Give Xu another thousand cavalry, or upgrade all his knights and knight retinues to level 7 paladins with invincible protection, and he might be able to charge.

But at this time, he obviously wouldn't be so irrational.

Because even if he rushes in, he will only fall into endless orc attacks.

He had only one purpose for rushing so far forward, to create conditions for him to cast spells.

This was not the first time that Xu Lai cast spells on the battlefield. Not long ago, he also released a healer, selecting his own knights.

The blindness spell he learned from the magic guild also has two versions. One is a normal release, which blinds enemy units in an area.

The other is a strategic release, blinding an entire army.

However, just like healing, the troops must be of the same nature. For example, if Xu Lai chooses to heal the knight, then even Yan Feng and other heroes who are also riding horses will not receive treatment.

For another example, if Xu Lai releases the orcs, the orc warriors on the periphery will not be affected.

The sudden blindness immediately caused the half-orc commander Gebadas to fall into confusion. The stronghold camp generally did not learn magic. Only in the royal court and the cities of several large tribes, there were low-level magic guilds.

However, the entire stronghold camp only has a magic guild of level 3 at most, which means that almost no one can master spells above level 3.

Naturally, more and more people don't learn the wisdom spell, so they are not eligible to learn spells above level 2, and people simply don't invest their energy in casting spells.

Gebadas is also used to the civil war in the stronghold. No one uses magic, or at most a few high priests and ogre magicians release some bloodlust, fireballs and the like.

No matter how high the damage of fireball spells is, it is enough to use them as mobile turrets like ballistas. I have never considered the possibility of such a strategic spell as blindness.

Therefore, Jebadas still had no experience in foreign wars, so he was suddenly embarrassed here.

The most important long-range power of his men was put to rest, and the orc warriors who were sent to the battlefield with only a big sword were useless in front of the wall.

Of course, Xu Lai's blindness is not without its shortcomings. First of all, he is not specialized in fire magic, so the scope and duration of blindness are relatively limited.

Blindness without any bonus can only affect one unit, and can only last for the duration of Spirit*1, which is 22 minutes.

To be honest, such a small amount of time is not enough to do much.

There are only two catapults in the town, plus the thunderbolt ballista that Xu Lai put there, there are three ballistas in total.

The two catapults can only throw once every 3-5 minutes. After all, the operators are all novices.

Calculating based on the average value, it is thrown once in 4 minutes, 5.5 times in 22 minutes, and then multiplied by two units, that is, a total of 11 bombs can be fired.

Let’s not talk about the hit rate issue. Even if all the gravel is thrown, it will only hit a few hundred units 11 times at most. It is hard to say whether it can be killed.

Then there is the ballista. The attack frequency of the ballista is quite high. The operator is also a lizard shooter who has not received a bow and arrow. The hit rate and speed are not too ugly.

But in 22 minutes, even if every shot hits the target and every shot can kill people, it is only a few hundred units, which together with the catapults does not reach 1,000 people.

Of course, there are still some shooters on the city wall, but they have to divide some to control the ogres on the other side.

If the ogre is completely ignored, the reinforced city gate will not be able to hold on for long if the big stick is wielded.

The most powerful elf shooters have gone there, leaving only most of the lizard shooters here. Even if they were allowed to output for 22 minutes, they wouldn't be able to kill many people.

Orc heroes do not pay attention to magic, so magic, wisdom, mana, various magics and other specialties have been abandoned, resulting in their extremely strong physical defense and offensive capabilities.

In addition to possessing the ultimate archery skill, Jebadas also possesses the same ultimate defense skill as Xu Lai.

Here in the town, even with the arrow tower bonus, the final damage is still limited.

Another disadvantage of being blind is that you will wake up as soon as you are attacked. Whether it is a catapult, a ballista, or a lizard shooter, as long as you don't kill the opponent once, the opponent will immediately wake up and fight back.

But even with these shortcomings of blindness, it still did not prevent it from playing a great role in this battle.

But don't forget, Jebadas' opponent is not only the small town, Xu Lai is still watching with eagerness, and the flying troops in the air have never landed.

With the blessing of advanced archery skills, the hero's arrows are not weak in power. The key is their armor-breaking ability.

But the orc warriors under Jebadas' command, even the heroes, need 4 arrows to kill. The ultimate defense skill retains the last bit of health, which affects too much output.

However, although he was blind, Jebadas did not lose too many soldiers. Including those shot dead by Xu Lai, the total number was only 6,700 units, which was much lower than Xu Lai expected.

However, the loss of morale caused during this period was immeasurable. Jebadas also possessed the ultimate leadership skill, and he also achieved certain results in suppressing the city and restored some morale.

Otherwise, after being suppressed until now, the army would probably be on the verge of collapse.

Just when the blindness effect ended, Jebadas could finally take a breath, roll up his sleeves and go for a big fight.

Xu Lai, who was in the distance, led his troops around again, and then, with Jebadas' disbelieving look on his face, he once again blinded the orcs.

Jebadas was really about to collapse. He immediately ordered the commander of the orc warriors to drive Xu Lai away at all costs.

Anyway, those in the town did not dare to go out of the city to attack. Even if all the orc warriors were gone, it would at most affect the speed of breaking through the city gate and would not have any impact on the safety of the orcs.

Of course, Gebadas knew that this was a useless effort. With the speed of the cavalry, it was impossible to catch up with the orc warriors even if they doubled their speed and physical strength.

But now Jebadas just wants to drive Xu Lai away and let him come and blind him a few times. His troops really don't need to fight and can declare collapse directly.

Xu Lai had no choice. The orc warriors were divided into four thousand-man teams and surrounded them from four directions.

If he wanted to charge forcefully, Xu Lai could certainly charge in. After all, how could a thousand unarmored orc warriors be able to block the charge of nearly a hundred of his knights.

But again, it's easy to rush in, but if Jebadas reverses and uses orcs to squeeze his space, it will be difficult for him to come out again.

Besides, blindness is certainly useful. Xu Lai, who does not have fire specialization, only has 190 mana points in total. After using it for healing a few times, he can only cast blindness 5 times in total.

It was impossible for Xu Lai to use up all his mana, and he had to reserve some mana to deal with emergencies, so he originally planned to use it only once.

Now that nothing could be done, Xu Lai simply walked out of the battlefield with his cavalry in a swaggering manner.

The combat power on the ogre's side was even more monotonous. Xu Lai went around to the other side and was blinded. Most of the soldiers on the battlefield were unable to move.

Except for a few ogre magicians who can move, the rest either stand still like recruiting ogres, or wander around like blind men.

The warriors in the town burst into loud cheers again.

They were already experienced and did not take the opportunity to kill these ogres. These guys were rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and even with the arrow tower bonus, they were not easy to kill.

Instead, they took advantage of these precious 22 minutes to repair the city gate that was almost broken by the ogre.

The elf and human shooters on the wall did not rest, but went to the other side to provide support, doubling the pressure on Jebadas.

Xu Lai was blinded in three eyes and controlled the ogre warrior for more than an hour.

Moreover, his mana is not empty. He has 20 mana and is blind. If he really puts his mind to it, it will be no problem to let it go for two more rounds.

Even if there is an emergency, he still has precious mana potions that can be replenished.

As a result, a very strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

On the other side of the town, the two sides were fighting to the death.

On the other side, thousands of ogre warriors remained motionless, with only hundreds of migrant workers working hard to repair the city walls and gates.

When Xu Lai made a large circle and appeared behind the orcs again, Gebadas gritted his teeth and gave the order for the entire army to retreat.

Gebadas didn't want to retreat either. His orc warriors had even breached the city gate.

Without Xu Lai's harassment, Gebadas, who also had a high level of offensive skills, easily broke through the city gate despite the new human and elf shooters on the wall.

On the other hand, the ogres without the leadership of the hero had fought for more than an hour without Xu Lai's interference, but one-third of the city gate's durability was still left.

But breaking through the city gate does not mean the battle is over.

On the contrary, the small town that was supposed to be destitute had hundreds of extra soldiers.

The leader, Harris, wore a full set of modified fish scale armor and led a group of heavy armored infantry to block the city gate.

Not only do they have thick armor, but their weapons are also very powerful, at least level 6 or 7 machetes.

The equipment and weapons, as well as the morale bonus of both sides, completely make up for the gap in Jebadas' offensive and defensive skills.

Jebadas's own family knew about his own affairs, and his subordinates were all ordinary orcs who were temporarily armed. Under the constant long-range attacks, their morale had collapsed sharply.

If Xu Lai had the right opportunity to stab him in the butt, the army would not only collapse, but the entire army would be annihilated here.
