The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 245 The return journey is blocked
Xu Lai was actually not surprised by this result. He was anxious to leave in the first place because he was worried about being besieged by orcs in the city.
Before, without even thinking about it, he agreed to Harris to bring out those herders who could only be regarded as burdensome before, out of guilt and compensation.
Therefore, when this result appeared, he should not have been surprised.
Because they were camping on a hillside, Yu Lan and the others could clearly see the smoke rising from the top of Kuba City even without the eagle eye skills.
"Lang Jun, please don't be stupid at this time!"
Obviously, Yu Lan is very worried about Xu Lai. She knows very well what kind of person her husband is.
Although Yu Lan and the others had not been in contact with Xu Lai for a long time, they were in an extremely dangerous environment every day.
Yu Lan, Su Ya and the rest of them may know Xu Lai better than Xu Lai himself.
Speaking of which, Xu Lai is still kind at heart.
He knew very well how he should choose, but seeing this scene, he still felt uncomfortable.
Patting Yu Lan's soft buttocks, Xu Lai tried his best to put on a smile and said: "Hurry up and clean up. Let's go home while the main force of the orcs is being held back!"
Yu Lan glanced at Xu Lai charmingly, then twisted her waist and directed everyone to work.
In the order of Xu Lai's troops, Yu Lan was just a squad leader, not even a general.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this woman has an unusual relationship with the hero they are loyal to. She may be the future lord's wife, who dares to disobey.
However, those who were experiencing war in the distant city of Kuba were either their fathers and brothers or their beloved relatives and friends.
It is obviously impossible for them to completely ignore all this.
However, Xu Lai's subordinates obviously did not want Xu Lai to take risks. As protected persons, they certainly had no right to ask Xu Lai.
A group of rangers hesitated to speak. Xu Lai thought about it and said to them:
"If you want to go back, I won't stop you.
But what I must tell you is that I spent a lot of gold coins for your employment and advancement.
Of course, some of them were collected for me by you and the compatriots in that city.
Therefore, I have no regrets about using it on you, and I won’t stop you if you want to go back.
But I hope you will think carefully about why you were chosen to follow me in the first place.
By the way, I also want to give you a message, which is to keep the green hills and don’t worry about running out of firewood. The bloody feud between us and the orcs, only by living can we have a chance to make them pay the price! "
Originally, Xu Lai was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. They would go and die if they wanted to, and he would have done his best if he didn't stop them.
But then again, these people had experienced life and death with him. Xu Lai originally planned to make good use of these people, because except for Tahan and others, there were not many people he could trust.
The people here, let alone 100%, at least 90% should be grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
Moreover, he considers himself not a person who is unwilling to share profits. The chance of these people betraying him should be extremely small, so he plans to let them become the backbone of his army in the future.
Then, by talking more at this time, they can minimize their resentment towards Xu Lai.
It's not that Xu Lai refused to save him, it's those damn orcs who are to blame. We are incompatible with these orcs.
It's just a matter of words and it doesn't take much effort on his part.
It can help them understand where the root of the problem lies, so that they will avoid something that will make them regret even more in the future.
After Xu Lai finished these words, Tahan and the others also packed up their tents.
He stopped talking nonsense, crossed his legs, and headed away from Kuba City.
Tahan, Yanfeng and the others, of course, followed without saying a word.
The two elves were closely followed. They had fewer clansmen left in Kuba City, but their friendship was actually deeper than the others, because the elves were immortals and had more time to accumulate emotions.
But also because of their relationship as immortals, they handle emotions more decisively.
In their hundreds of years of life, elves often have to face this kind of separation.
After the two elves followed, several captains who had advanced to become mercenaries looked at each other, and one of them named Joseph said:
"The Lord is right. Don't forget, why were we selected in the first place? Isn't it because our father and brother gave us more chances of survival?
When we rushed over at this time, not only could we not help them, but our efforts were in vain.
At this time, we should take heart even more. The lord has said that only if we are alive can we have the opportunity to make those orcs pay a greater price.
Whether you believe it or not, I believe in the Lord.
One day, the lord will come back with his army to avenge his dead compatriots. In thousands of years, he is the first lord who dares to break into the wild land of the orcs!
On this point, I believe him. "
Another person beside him also quickly said: "Yes, at that time we devalued ourselves as slaves, but the lord was only willing to let us become his subjects.
I have never heard of such a lord in my life, let alone seen it before.
Anyway, I have decided to follow him. Whether you believe it or not, if you want to believe it, come with me! "
Seeing that the large army was about to leave, several people did not care about the long speech. After the latter expressed his determination, he did not even wait for the other captains and directly chased after them.
Someone took the lead, and the remaining people didn't care about thinking, and rushed out one after another following the previous people.
Xu Lai and the others deliberately did not run too fast, and were easily caught up by this group of rangers.
Although they are only level 4, the mounts on their hips are only available to level 5 or even level 6 cavalry, so their speed is not slow.
However, although everyone has followed, the atmosphere in the team is still not high, but the morale has not been lost, and the morale is still at a high level.
Rainbow morale increases movement speed by 20%, speed talent increases movement speed and attack speed by 20%, intermediate logistics increases movement speed by 20%, and walking boots and knight gloves each add 3 points.
Basically, the movement speed of Xu Lai's team has nearly doubled.
That is equivalent to the charging speed of other low- and middle-level cavalry with charging skills.
The charge cannot be sustained. Xu Lai and the others just move normally. With the endurance of high-level war horses in this world, running for several hours after eating and drinking is not a problem at all.
Xu Lai and the others worked hard and ran directly to the top of the ogre's mountain.
There are mountains of different sizes everywhere here, and some villages that were destroyed in the mountains seem to have been rebuilt.
Obviously, this is where Xu Lai and the others came.
Without stopping, we headed straight for our destination. We didn’t delay for anything on the way. It took us most of a day to complete the Gobi road we had to walk in the previous few days.
They stopped at this time, not because they wanted to replenish food and energy for the war horses, although the horses did not have much energy.
They stopped because Elvi in the sky discovered enemies, and there were quite a few of them. Otherwise, she would have dealt with them directly without sending a signal to them.
Along the way, Elvi dealt with countless sentries from the stronghold camp, both in the air and on the ground.
Xu Lai is like a bright pearl. No matter where he goes, he will be discovered by the orcs.
Therefore, he simply rushed over to compete with the orcs for time.
Xu Lai believed that even if Talosi and the others knew his location and confirmed his target through his movement trajectory, they would not be able to catch up with him, let alone be surrounded by a large army.
His prediction was not wrong. The mistake was that Talosi was not a person, he represented a group of people, and this did not even include Bolage who was attacking Kuba City.
Bolage has only one task now, which is to concentrate on attacking Kuba City and regain this city belonging to the bloodthirsty tribe.
Of course, Burlage, who lacked long-range troops and flying troops, suffered heavy losses.
But there is also an advantage to him coming to attack the city. He is good at several strategic spells, and he is also the master of the entire bloodthirsty tribe. He can easily mobilize the large equipment in the castle and another fortress.
These instruments were originally prepared only for defending the city, but they were dismantled and used for siege, so there was no big problem.
The Bolage Division, the only large-scale force near Talosili Company, was not mobilized, and could only be used by the vanguard regiment currently in Pingfeng Grassland.
Although the stronghold is not as good as humans and is not very good at magic, it is one of the nine major camps in the world.
Not only that, the stronghold camp is the only camp that has a certain ability to predict the future.
The only great prophet in the world is in the stronghold camp. It makes no sense that such a big thing as the murder of a clan leader cannot be discovered even after one night.
The identity of the orcs is really embarrassing. In terms of status, they are only better than the big-eared monsters who are used as food.
In terms of strength, it is one of the most important forces in the stronghold camp.
The chiefs of other tribes would definitely not be willing to let the Beastmaster be a dead half-orc and mobilize the troops that were confronting the fortress.
But let him pretend that this incident has never happened, how can the majestic Beast King swallow this breath.
Therefore, the Beast King personally wrote a letter to Taloshi this time and issued a death order.
Not only that, he also ordered the new commander of the vanguard army on the grassland and the eighth-level shaman stationed on the grassland, ordering them not to let Xu Lai return to the grassland under any circumstances.
That's why Xu Lai is facing the situation now. The exits have been completely blocked. At least none of the exits drawn on Xu Lai's map are usable.
There were not many troops guarding the pass when they came, only two teams of about two hundred Cyclops.
If they were on the ground, Xu Lai really wasn't afraid of them. At worst, a few people would die. With such huge profits, he could fully afford this loss.
But these Cyclops are all on the cliff. Their unique earth-based spellcasting ability can bury them alive in minutes as long as Xu Lai appears in the pass.
While there was still time, Xu Lai found another exit in the afternoon. As a result, a large number of orc troops were ambushing there.
Others occupy a good location and have a lot of numbers, and Xu Lai's cavalry cannot charge up the mountain. It is equivalent to having an arm broken, so how can they fight with others.
With Seraph around, Xu Lai wasn't too worried about himself. With Elvi's terrifying power, she could probably carry him and fly over.
But the number of troops he brought along the way, including Paladins and Holy Light Knights, now exceeds two-thirds. How could he agree to just throw them away like this?
Not to mention Tahan, Yan Feng and other subordinates who have already developed feelings for him.
After running to these two places, Xu Lai realized that he could no longer run like this. The hunter who had been hiding in the darkness was waiting for an opportunity. (End of chapter)
