The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

To be honest, Xu Lai had actually considered it before choosing the imperial camp.

On the one hand, he is a knight and is not suitable for development in a tower full of mages and warlocks. On the other hand, he has taken a fancy to the angel, who is known as the strongest warrior.

Therefore, the conditions Rasha offered him were quite tempting to Xu Lai, but he still shook his head and rejected the old priest.

Rasha still has to go out to preach at an early age. Either he has a firm belief or he has no status in the temple.

As Rasha said, as long as you have a firm belief, you can obtain unlimited divine grace. How come he is only a small fourth-level priest at this age.

Xu Lai thought it was probably the latter. He had never thought that there would be truly just gods. There were thousands of gods in China, and he had heard so many stories like this.

Xu Lai believed that Rasha's failure to get promoted must have nothing to do with his firm belief.

Therefore, even if the temple would not deny the promise made by a person who did not have a high status in the temple, Xu Lai did not think it was the best option.

Secondly, he still believes in the old saying that pie does not fall in the sky. He hopes to cooperate with the temple instead of blindly joining the temple directly.

Xu Lai is like the attitude of thousands of Chinese people towards gods. If it is useful, he doesn't mind lowering his stature, worshiping and making offerings.

If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you can't control me, I won't bother you.

After Xu Lai refused, the old priest was not angry. Instead, he smiled and gave him a blessing, and told Xu Lai that this was a blessing from His Majesty the God of War.

Primary [Concentration Halo]: Everyone within the aura coverage, including yourself, will have +2 body armor. The aura coverage will be 100 meters and last for 24 hours.

After seeing the attributes of this blessing, Xu Lai, a pragmatist, immediately echoed a few words from Pastor Rasha, and even learned a prayer from him.

Yes, Xu Lai is so realistic. If His Majesty the God of War can grant a more powerful blessing, he is willing to join the temple on the spot.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even if he is as powerful as the God of War, he cannot change the rules of the world.

If he wants to spread his energy to the lower world, he must have a carrier for release, and the nearest carrier is Pastor Rasha.

However, Pastor Rasha is only a level 4 priest, and the maximum blessing effect that can be maintained is only 24 hours.

After leaving Gram Village, Xu Lai did not immediately look for traces of the orcs.

Xu Lai is not a person who just collects money and does not work, but searching for orcs is not an easy task.

Even if it is true as Village Chief Lacy said, there is something wrong with the brains of orcs, but they must have some ability to go deep into the territory of the human race alone.

He only has a few people in total now. Firstly, he doesn't have good investigative methods, and secondly, he doesn't have much fighting power. If a fight breaks out during the search, Xu Lai can't expect these orcs to be as stupid as the monsters.

Of course, he now has no means to recruit soldiers, and secondly, he does not have the gold coins to recruit enough soldiers.

But if you want to improve, there are other ways.

After two days of unremitting efforts by farmers, nearly a hundred large trees were felled on the periphery of the forest. Some of them just fell down without having time to remove branches and segments.

But this has also pushed the sight from the outer edge of the woods at the beginning to dozens of meters deeper into the woods.

This is because Xu Lai and the others did not control these farmers. The farmers cut down along the edge of the forest and did not deliberately drill into the depths of the forest.

Xu Lai confirmed that there were undead in this forest, and he knew that these undead would be weakened under the strong sun, and he still had a blessing that lasted for 24 hours.

The most important thing is that no matter what the reason is for the low-level undead to be generated, they have no intelligence like monsters. If no one is commanding them, they are really easy to kill.

As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. In order to better carry out the tasks assigned by the village chief, it is also necessary to train your troops well.

Thinking of this, Xu Lai felt no guilt at all. Once again, he emptied his family's money, even took the farmers with him, and rushed to the forest of the undead.

There are a large number of low wooden piles outside the woods, and Xu Lai plans to use these wooden piles to create the first layer of protection.

Yesterday's battle with the wolves instantly gave him a lot of inspiration.

It is undeniable that the fighting power of wolves is extremely fierce, fast, quick in action, fearless of death, and will not retreat even after being seriously injured.

In any era of cold weapons, such warriors can be regarded as the elite among the elites, but the only drawback is that they have no brains, and the loopholes are too big.

The farmers were divided into two groups by Xu Lai. A group of five people continued to cut down trees, but either for the purpose of collecting resources or simply cutting down the trees.

For the remaining part, we used the wood that could not be transported back from the site and the tree stumps on the ground to make a fence.

Xu Lai originally wanted to dig a trench, but the tree stumps were connected one after another, and each one went deep into the ground, making it impossible to dig.

Without the help of a campfire, the wooden fence made this time seemed not as strong as in the camp, but the stumps of the fence were thicker and deeper.

In order to save trouble, the horizontal bars connecting the fence are just ordinary branches, thick or thin, and the impact is not particularly big because the gaps between the tree stumps are very small.

The farmers who specialize in cutting down big trees quickly cleared a passage. Xu Lai did not let them move forward, but cut down the big trees on both sides that blocked the sun.

When everything was ready, Su Ya walked into the depths of the woods alone. Xu Lai originally wanted to be with her, but Su Ya firmly disagreed with Xu Lai's risk.

Compared with Xu Lai, although Su Ya's various skills are only level 1, her combat ability is much higher than him.

The key is that Su Ya understands her mission very well, and the life experience given by Dian Jiangling is mostly related to actual combat. She will not be nervous, hesitant or even afraid like Xu Lai during battle.

The distance Su Ya advanced this time was deeper than Xu Lai's group had ever gone before. Even though there was a little more sunlight due to the felled trees on the outside, it was still extremely dark.

But there was no other way. Since these undead people were unwilling to go outside for activities, they had no choice but to send people to invite them.

Fortunately, as long as the group of undead smell the breath of living creatures, they will pounce on them like mad dogs, well, if there are no high-level undead to stop them.

With the minds of archers and witches, it is definitely impossible to complete such a responsible order of attracting monsters, so there is no other way but Xu Lai or Su Ya to do it themselves.

And it was just attracting the undead. Xu Lai gave Su Ya a serious order to leave immediately whenever he heard the slightest movement in the woods. Su Ya was the only person he could not afford to lose.
