The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Politics has always been dirty.

Xu Lai didn't know that the stronghold camp had once again assembled a large group of troops to deal with him.

What he didn't even know was that this large group of people was divided into three forces, and each force had its own ideas.

Xu Lai only knew that his life these two days had been pretty good.

After traveling thousands of kilometers in two days, they cleared out all the orcs' wild buildings and destroyed two of their forest farms.

You know, it is much more difficult to grow a dense forest in the wild mountains than on the Pingfeng grassland.

The bloodthirsty tribe had no idea how many years of cultivation it took before they finally built several forest farms.

Although the orcs in the forest farm have long since retreated to the city, the forest farm they have cultivated for many years has been handed over to Xu Lai.

Xu Lai couldn't take away the resources in the forest farm and quarry, so he simply burned down the two forest farms.

It's a pity that there is too little wood in the quarry. Even if Xu Lai invested a lot of wood, it would only burn down the buildings in the quarry. The stone cannot be burned.

After running around for two consecutive days, Xu Lai was almost exhausted.

However, the results of the battle were not much. In addition to encountering some wild monsters that the orcs had no time to clean up, there were only some panicked big-eared monsters, and those old orcs and old ogres that had no time to escape.

Xu Lai's whereabouts are almost completely under surveillance.

This is not surprising, Xu Lai is burdened with a blood feud curse. As long as there are enough ogre priests and they continue to perform rituals, his traces will always be exposed to the eyes of the ogres.

In this case, no matter which direction Xu Lai wanted to go, as long as the ogres in that direction were allowed to hide in the town in advance, Xu Lai would have no choice but to return empty-handed.

This was the conclusion Xu Lai came to after he suddenly turned to a nearby village and directly killed all the ogres in the village when he was going to the stone field.

Therefore, Xu Lai's harvest in these two days is really not much.

In addition to obtaining tens of thousands of units of stone and wood and escorting nearly 5,000 hard workers from various camps back to Kuba City, all the knights' retinue who were about to be upgraded have finally advanced to level 6 knights.

However, the advancement of knights is extremely slow. After killing so many orcs, although they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, after all, the number is here, and Xu Lai is somewhat disappointed that only two have advanced.

After Harris and the others cleaned up, Kuba City finally came into the hands of Xu Lai. This city, the base camp of the orcs, was indeed very valuable.

The half-orcs in the orc tower and the ogres in the ogre fortress have all been recruited.

But there are still quotas for the Wolf Fighters in the high-end wolf house and the Thunderbirds in the high-end wall nest, and there are quite a lot of them.

This is not a monster. In fact, the lord of Kuba City did not authorize these high-level lairs to go out.

There are more than 60 level 7 Thunderbirds and 120 level 5 Wolf Fighters in the lair.

Xu Lai has recruited all these guys. Anyway, after Harris collected the gold coins in the whole city, Xu Lai now has more gold coins than he can fit in his space backpack.

If you don't need to drop it, you can only put one gold coin in one position and put it in the supply truck, which is too much of a loss.

What's more, Xu Lai knew that there would definitely be a war coming, and the top priority now was to continuously concentrate his efforts.

Therefore, Xu Lai did not keep the high-end weapons and equipment collected from the city lord's palace, but gave them all to Harris for redistribution.

However, Xu Lai did not take these Thunderbirds and Wolf Fighters with him. Instead, he gave them orders to defend the city and threw them into the base camp.

In this case, as long as Xu Lai is far enough away from Kuba City, his morale will not be affected by these stronghold creatures.

If we were to defend the city, the loss of morale would not be worth the extra high-level combat power.

In addition to recruiting troops and weapons and equipment, Xu Lai used the stones and wood obtained by destroying Mercury Town, and the stones and wood seized from forest farms and stone quarries to invest in the construction of Kuba City.

In the past two days, Harris has led people to complete the reinforcement of four city gates.

The orc cities had never been attacked before, so the base camp and city gates were almost all for show.

The city gate has now been upgraded to a reinforced city gate. At least Elvi can no longer open it with one hand. After being blessed by the paladin, she may be able to try it with both hands.

After the city gate is reinforced, more high-level arrow towers will be built.

The blacksmith shop has been producing these days. The previously damaged catapults and catapults have been repaired, and more than ten catapults, or two or three catapults, will be produced every day.

The team of hard workers is also accelerating the integration. Everyone is divided into four regions: southeast, northwest, and southeast according to camp first, then race, and finally according to number of people.

Anyway, after the city is broken, hard workers like them will never end well, and Xu Lai doesn't have to worry about anyone being lazy.

As for the traitor, let’s not talk about how the orcs sneaked into the city. The city gate was guarded by recruited soldiers anyway. Even if there was a traitor, there was no way to open the city gate.

Setting fires was even more useless. Xu Lai had set fires before, but the result was that the house was made of stone and could not be burned at all.

The huge Kuba City can only support their population of less than ten thousand people, so it is not too difficult.

In other words, even if they are besieged, these people can still rely on this city and persist for a long time.

By demolishing the houses in the city, they were able to obtain many stones and wood.

The wood is used to repair the city gates, the stones are used as ammunition for catapults, and the extra arrow towers are used to deal with the flying units and long-range units of the orcs.

Xu Lai even built the characteristic building of the stronghold, the Heroes' Temple, which is a place used by the orcs to worship their outstanding ancestors.

It also has a special function, that is, when the hero visits, it can increase the hero's strength and constitution by 1 point.

Of course, all the Halls of Heroes in the entire stronghold camp have this function, and they only have this function.

Through the Hall of Valor, the hero can only increase 1 point of strength and 1 point of constitution. It will be the same no matter how many times he visits, just like the mercenary camp in the wild and the Garden of Truth.

Orc heroes only need to visit a few specific cities. There is no need to build one in every city. This thing is expensive to build, one costs 10,000 gold coins.

It was because Xu Lai had so much money that he couldn't take it with him, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to other stronghold cities, so he built such a shrine.

For him, 10,000 gold coins in exchange for 1 point of strength and 1 point of constitution was a very profitable deal.

Needless to say, physique is a precious attribute that represents life.

Strength represents basic attack and basic load-bearing, which are also crucial.

Because of the gap in strength attributes, if Xu Lai didn't charge, he might not even be able to defeat the level 4 ogres in the stronghold.

In fact, the opponent's strength is much stronger than his, and he can easily block Xu Lai's attack, and even use a little force to directly repel or knock Xu Lai away.

It is said that one force can defeat ten societies. In the magical world, every bit of power represents a huge gap.

Moreover, because heroes require too much experience, their upgrades will not be as fast as those of ordinary warriors.

Therefore, they must try their best to find various ways to supplement their own attributes.

Otherwise, even if your ability allows you to lead many high-level warriors, these high-level warriors may not be convinced by you.

Just like when Xu Lai was the honorary leader of the Temple Knights, the actual commander was still Pierce, who was just a BUFF provider.

Now that he has the opportunity to build and visit the Hall of Heroes, he already has these two valuable attributes permanently more than countless heroes of the empire.

However, Xu Lai considered all aspects, but did not consider staying in this city forever.

The base camp city seems to be pretty good, with high walls and strong defenses.

Not only does it have its own underground water supply, Xu Lai also built several new big-eared monster canteens. Not to mention how well the people inside are fed, at least these thousands of people will not starve to death.

But in China, there is an old saying that goes without an army that must be saved, there is no city that must be defended.

Xu Lai and others knew that there would never be any other troops crossing the Pingfeng Mountains thousands of miles away to come to the rescue.

This is the army that no one can save.

The fact that no one comes to rescue is not because we expect the rescue troops to defeat the enemy, but because there is no hope.

After running around for two days, Xu Lai finally stopped, took a break, and took a breath.

However, even though he himself had rested, Elwey, as Xu Lai's strongest mobile force, still had to work hard around Kuba City to conduct necessary reconnaissance.

After resting for two days, the buildings, city defenses, and supplies in Kuba City were basically sorted out.

In addition to the gold coins used by Xu Lai to advance, build the Big-Eared Monster Canteen, high-level arrow towers, and strengthen city walls and gates, there are still 250,000 gold coins in Xu Lai's space backpack.

In fact, there should be more. A lot of gold coins and rare resources were found from the homes of various ogre priests.

But Xu Lai transferred this part to Harris, and also transferred the position of city lord to him.

In this way, although Harris is not a noble, he can still command the city's recruiting troops.

After all, Harris is not a hero. Even if he becomes the city lord, those heroic buildings cannot be built.

Therefore, Xu Lai could not give up the city master to Harris from the beginning. If he gave it up now, Harris would be aware of Xu Lai's thoughts.

"Your Majesty Hero, are you planning to leave?"

Sure enough, no one in this world is a fool.

It is estimated that Harris had already guessed Xu Lai's thoughts, otherwise he would not have taken those hard workers to please Xu Lai unrestrictedly from the beginning.

Harris must have guessed a long time ago that Xu Lai would not be able to stay in the wilderness for a long time, nor would he be able to take them away.

Xu Lai really had no choice, he nodded and said:

“I haven’t gone out in the past two days, but there has been no movement from the orcs.

The more this happened, the more panicked I became.

No matter what, what is coming will always come, and the only thing we can do is to prepare ourselves to face this storm.

I will stay here to accompany you to accept the baptism of this storm.

But staying in the city cannot take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, so I have to station outside the city. "(End of chapter)
