The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"This is my problem. I failed to bring them back. Please punish me, captain."

Xu Lai sent out a total of 20 teams, but he was the only one who failed to escape. Although he brought back 20 knights, all the low-level knights' retinues and trainee knights were equivalent to being abandoned by him.

In fact, although the Paladin has invincibility and the ability to charge, there is no continuity in charging. Once surrounded by the demon army, he cannot break through the formation and can only fall into the battle formation.

Xu Lai's ability was very strong, and coupled with the invincibility of the Paladins, the demons were also careless and were actually rushed out by them.

But the succubus hero at the head raised his hand and created another fire demon wall, directly blocking the gap that had come out.

The knight followers behind him hesitated. It was no longer possible to break through the fire wall.

A dozen fire demons who were completely unafraid of flames blocked the gap, and these knights' retinues and trainee knights remained in the demon formation forever.

Xu Lai was not angry after hearing this. He comforted the captain and said:

"Your decision was correct at the time. You had no speed advantage at that time. If you turned back to save us, you would just fall into the devil's trap like them.

Your decision has brought back at least 20 outstanding soldiers for us, as well as intelligence so that we can take precautions.

If there is a problem, it is me as the commander who has a bigger problem.

I misjudged the current situation. It seems that the demons have left quite a few senior generals and troops in their home base.

But it is precisely this that proves the value of this place more and more. "

The hell camp is different from other camps. No matter what, the other camps are in the same world as humans.

Only hell is a completely different plane from the human world.

As long as the undead pass through the Cursed Land, the sea and sky will be vast, but even if they can't pass, it's just that people from the capital of the undead can't appear in Middle-earth.

It is impossible to say that there are no other undead in this world.

Not to mention recruiting the undead, as long as the yin energy is strong in a place and the dead bodies have not been processed, the undead will appear here after decades or even just a few years.

But demons are different. Demons are in hell. If they want to appear in Middle-earth, they can only find places with weak plane barriers.

For the entire world, there are not many such places, and most of them are in places like oceans or deserts where they either cannot establish a foothold or cannot develop.

This point at the junction of the Northern Empire and the Tower is not very resource-rich due to its geographical location, but it is a bridgehead that can lead to the two capitals.

Even if the Northern Empire is completely defeated and the tower camp is taken, the demons will not give up this place easily.

Because they did not have enough resources to open another abyss passage, the demons had been saving for thousands of years for this invasion.

The most important thing is that the abyss passage is not very wide, and there is no way to put all the troops from hell into the human world at once.

Moreover, even if they can all be brought over, the demons and soldiers produced by Hell will also be transferred to the main world.

Although the Hell Gate of Hell allows Hell heroes to quickly transfer troops, it must be in the same world, and it is impossible to directly project Hell's troops up.

Therefore, Hell needs to first transport troops and supplies to the Engeta continent through the abyss passage.

Then, as needed, a large number of demonic troops accumulated in the northern part of the empire and the southern part of the tower will be delivered to the city closest to the major legions.

Xu Lai originally thought that even if other senior generals from the hell camp were included, there would only be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops at most.

But that's because Xu Lai only counted their own troops. In fact, they also had a large number of soldiers transported from hell, and their strength was much greater than Xu Lai imagined.

So many that while they were guarding the city, they could send out large numbers of soldiers to hunt them down at will.

Today's battle should not be considered a failure by Xu Lai. 20 outgoing teams slaughtered more than a dozen villages in hell, killing at least thousands of little monsters, little devils and transformed demons.

Xu Laize first annihilated the enemy's leading fast troops, and then during the retreat, he used the mobile shooting advantage of the cavalry to eliminate about 500 fire elves.

According to the calculations on the task list given to Xu Lai by the temple, Xu Lai's current merit points have increased by more than 8,000 points based on the previous 7,000 points.

This is already the default. According to the sacrifice, after calculating the merits of the 80 knights and trainee knights, they should be deducted.

Mainly because the 500 fire elves at the back were basically all shot by Xu Lai's own troops, giving him nearly 10,000 merit points.

This is because these fire elves are all recruited. If the fire elves were born naturally from hell, their merits would be tripled.

However, the temple's deductions from one's own knights' merits are much greater than the rewards.

The loss of one level 4 trainee knight is at least equivalent to killing two or three level 7 soldiers.

In the previous battle when Xu Lai used quicksand traps to block the attack, his side annihilated more than 1,500 three-headed hell dogs and more than 500 fire elves without any damage. This did not include the little devils and monsters killed previously.

However, with such a high level of military exploits, even if part of it had to be taken away by the Sixth Knights, Xu Lai was still deducted as a negative.

Such a merit calculation system also puts more burden on Xu Lai.

Because if you are not careful, you will be burdened with a large amount of debt. The key is that the information in the devil area is almost completely blank.

Xu Lai's previous prediction was not made by him alone. No matter how little common sense he had, he still knew the words "give leniency to the enemy if you anticipate the enemy."

The information about the temple is no longer inaccurate. It should be said that they already know nothing about this area.

The only source of information that can be considered relatively accurate is to try your luck in the wild and see if there are any wild prophets.

Generally speaking, the members of the Sixth Knights, except for the team that lost their own retainers and trainee knights, are in pretty good shape.

The overall morale was rising, because whether it was Xu Lai's sniper battle or the subsequent mobile battle in which he used the Wind Knight to defeat the fire elves during the retreat, it was a victory for one's side.

Although Xu Lai was running, the battle did not end during the running process. On the contrary, the chasing demon collapsed first.

Since both games were victories, morale was naturally on the rise, but the improvement was not much, only a mere 1 point.

After setting up camp, Xu Lai did not dare to be careless. On the basis of the duty arranged by Lina, he also arranged for Joseph's rangers to take three archangels who were taking turns to conduct investigations further away.

Xu Lai felt that the devil might not let them go easily after suffering such a big loss.

The farther they scout, the more likely they are to discover the target in advance, and they will have enough time to make a decision whether to fight or flee.

It’s hard to say whether we will win or lose today’s battle, but a summary must be made.

The summary meeting was hosted by Lina and attended by Xu Lai. The team captains and paladins took turns reporting and speaking.

Now this place has been transformed into a terrible state by the hell camp, and the original map has long since expired.

A group of people pieced together a new military map based on what they saw and heard.

Of course, of this new military map, only the front part is filled in, and the rest is still blank except for the cities that can be seen from a distance.

With this new map, Xu Lai and the others can have a clear target. For example, with so many cities, he needs to lock down the city where Olimar is guarding and recognize his troops and his flag.

Also, simply destroying villages and villages will not do much harm to the demons, but mainly affects the demons' food supply.

However, unless Xu Lai and the others wiped out all the villages and towns and continued for more than a few months, it would be difficult to see any effect.

But if the demons' resource points are occupied or destroyed, for example, if the demons want to transform the normal land into a lava land, they will need an extremely large amount of sulfur resources.

Just destroying a few sulfur mines will have a huge impact on the devil's transformation progress.

Moreover, if we only target the resource points of the demons, there will not be many locations that need to be swept away.

There are two sulfur mines that were discovered yesterday, and there is also a sawmill that the demons need in large quantities.

The former two are garrisoned with a large number of troops, while the latter only have a group of small monsters, which are not taken seriously.

Although the Paladins only found one sawmill, there was a large pine forest near the tower. The devil's sawmill should be mainly concentrated on the tower's territory.

"Okay, tomorrow we will divide our troops into two groups. I will lead one group to carry this sulfur mine, and Lina, you go to the other one."

Lina nodded and said: "There are many guards in the sulfur mine. If there is an attack, nearby cities will definitely send reinforcements."

Xu Laize said: "This requires you to think flexibly, Lina. If you think you are sure to conquer this sulfur mine in a short time, then destroy it.

If you are not sure, then attack slowly and focus on taking care of the reinforcements who come to rescue.

There are not many fast troops in hell. Yesterday's fire elves and fire elves were seriously injured, especially the fire elves. We annihilated more than 500 of them alone, and at least 500 more collapsed and fled.

Even if they can get some of them back, their morale probably won't be enough to go into battle right away.

As for the Cerberus, although its three-head attack is fierce, its defense is very weak. "

Xu Lai's idea was to encircle the site and call for reinforcements. Although there was no city wall near the sulfur mine, there were a large number of guards and defense facilities, such as spike boards, horse-repelling walls, etc.

If the enemy cannot be defeated in a short period of time, there is no need to fight forcefully. The demon army rushing to support will definitely be disorganized and disorderly.

The same goes for Xu Lai. He fights when he can and runs away when he can't. He doesn't show any reserve at all.

Escape has become a common occurrence for Xu Lai. Before he has enough strength, he mainly focuses on taking advantage and rarely collides with the enemy head-on. (End of chapter)
