The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

There are advantages and disadvantages to letting the heroes settle.

The benefits are obvious. These heroes have certain strength and financial ability.

If local residents have anything they can't do on their own, they just need to put it on the Brotherhood's task list, and a hero is guaranteed to come forward to help them solve it.

Even if the final reward is completely disproportionate to the cost they paid.

But there are also disadvantages. Even powerful and wealthy owners usually have ambitions.

There are few heroes like Fang Yang, and even for Fang Yang, Xu Lai only allowed him to settle down.

"We need to think about this matter carefully, and we can discuss it later."

With that said, they had arrived at the Holy Church, and the owner of the church led the priests to greet them outside the church early.

Larkins had already proposed to camp with Lina and the others outside the city, but it was still crowded inside.

Xu Lai mainly wanted to comfort and express condolences to them, because he wanted to stay in his home city for two more days.

But the construction time of Qingfeng City was too short after all. Residential houses and buildings were being built every day, but even now many people are still crowded together.

Even if they want to separate their families, they have to wait until a new residential building is built in Qingfeng City.

Not even residential buildings have been built, and of course there is no decent large-scale camp in the city.

Although you can stay outside in the tent like the knights did, you still need to station soldiers and horses in the city. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there won't even be anyone to rescue you.

After thinking for a while, Xu Lai said to Elena: "Elena, you're welcome, we are all old friends.

You tell Captain La Jinsi for me and ask them to rest in the church for a while, and I will take everyone away after lunch. "

"Ah, are you leaving so soon?" Elena blinked and looked at Xu Lai.

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "Send them back first. Over at the temple, there is still something to do that affects the life and death of the entire Northern Empire."

This time, the temple gave Xu Lai enough face and support, and Xu Lai had to reciprocate the favor.

Anyway, I have the scroll of the Gate of Time and Space in hand, so it’s okay to go back and take a look at it first. At most, I can rest for a day and come back tomorrow.

Since he couldn't squeeze into the church, Xu Lai went to the military area to have a look.

There is actually nothing to see here, it is very empty. Originally, the military zone designed by Xu Lai was large enough, but it became even bigger after the city expanded.

In the base camp stage, there are not many heroic buildings that can be upgraded. The shooter tower, crossbow tower, and spearman training camp have already been upgraded.

In addition, this is an important military area and there are sentries on duty. Ordinary people are not qualified to come in, so there are not many people.

Xu Lai then planned two military garrisons here for troops to be stationed in the city, and then also planned two high-level training grounds.

In battle, high-level soldiers can play a role that low-level soldiers can never achieve.

The only advantage of low-level soldiers is their numbers, but in most cases, without specific spells or hero specialization bonuses, they cannot even break through the defense of high-level soldiers.

In this case, the high-level soldiers massacred the low-level soldiers without any damage.

Therefore, soldiers must practice, otherwise there will be no place to improve their combat effectiveness just by putting them there.

Every month, the number of wild monsters born around them is about the same, and the experience value is probably enough to raise a group of soldiers recruited in the city to one or two levels.

But if there are multiple training grounds to make up for it, maybe it can be upgraded to 2-3 levels and play a key role in a battle.

When lunch was approaching, Xu Lai also went for a stroll in Swan Lake. The scenery here still vaguely looked like it had before.

It's just that the surrounding area was empty at first, but now it has been planted with dense woods.

Little Baiyang and her tree spirits worked tirelessly to cultivate the trees.

It's a pity that the little white poplar now no longer looks as stunning as when Xu Lai first saw it. The skin is like a dead tree, so this little white poplar is constantly transforming into a tree man.

During lunch, Xu Lai specially called Anna over.

When he was promoted to Anna, he left soon after. Speaking of which, he was the least familiar with this female priest.

But after all, he is his loyal subordinate, and he is a character who can abandon even the God of War for him. Xu Lai comes back once in a while, so of course he wants to see him.

Now Anna is no longer the original priest apprentice. She has been promoted to a fifth-level priest by relying on the training ground and constant treatment, the same level as Elena.

However, compared to poor Elena, it is much easier for Anna to improve.

The disadvantage is that Anna's spell list is not even one-third of that of Elena's, let alone compared to Elena's.

In addition to the basic magic arrows, the effect of healing spells has been improved, and there are also group healing spells and slow recovery rejuvenation spells.

Spells such as blessings and shields have also been improved, and additional spells such as dispersion spells and elemental resistance improvement spells have been added.

Finally, as a priest, Anna does not have the spell to summon sacred armor or sacred weapons like Ryan and the others, but has the additional feature of not reducing damage in melee combat.

With the addition of this feature, Anna's default attack will change from magic arrows to costless holy light balls, which can be released in both long-range and melee combat, and the damage will be the same.

Compared to Giselle, the phantom marksman who only rose one level, but whose combat power increased several times, Anna rose two levels, and is only more suitable for assisting.

The time we get together is always short. Xu Lai originally just planned to take a look at the current Qingfeng City so that he could have an idea of ​​his family.

However, after just visiting two places, it was already too late.

Since he has made an agreement with La Jinsi and the others, he cannot break the contract. This time he can only come and leave in a hurry.

Su Ya definitely couldn't go to the Northern Empire with him. Both Dier and Yu Lan asked to go, but Xu Lai hesitated but still didn't agree.

Qingfeng City is not absolutely safe at the moment. With this little defensive strength, if the orcs dare to fly tens of thousands of flying soldiers over, Xu Lai will never be able to save him in time.

Of course, flying soldiers are not omnipotent. They also need food supplies, especially the recruited flying soldiers.

Unlike humanoid soldiers, you can't ask them to carry more ammunition, but it's still okay to ask them to bring their own dry food.

The recruited pilots are not good enough. Not only can they not carry people, they cannot carry items, so the flight radius can only be within the range of supply points with sufficient supplies.

Not only did he not take anyone away, Xu Lai also sent back the knights that Su Ya had sent before.

Many of them are herdsmen recruited temporarily, and they may not be willing to continue serving as soldiers.

Some were mercenaries sent over by Xu Lai, and others were strangers that Xu Lai didn't know at all.

Strangers Xu Lai are not afraid of using it, but they are afraid of their own thoughts.

Besides, Xu Lai promised Giselle and Jian Yuan the right to recruit troops on their own.

If he takes away all the people who can fight in Qingfeng City, who will they recruit? Then they recruit completely unfamiliar people from other places, and the security and supervision are useless.

However, Xu Lai kept all these human riders, and he took all the recruited cavalry away.

After the settlement this time, another wave of knights' retinues and trainee knights were upgraded.

Today, there are 54 paladins, 18 knights, 25 knight retinues and more than 40 trainee knights under Tahan.

In Greenwood Town and Qingfeng City, the knight teams were replenished twice respectively, which just brought the entire knight group to almost 500 people.

Xu Lai personally brought 26 Holy Light Knights, plus Joseph also had more than 100 rangers and mercenaries, 20 knights, and knight retinues.

Finally, there are Yan Feng's 18 heroes, as well as the Gale Knights, who have lost several, and only have more than 110, plus a team of elves Pegasus Knights and Pegasus Knights.

"Mr. Lang, you said last time that no one knew the way home, so I had no choice but to take them to find Qingfeng City.

You don't want to take a concubine this time. Do you think she will cause you trouble? "

Xu Lai was always soft-hearted, and it was he who was at fault for letting Yu Lan go back last time.

Now she was as soft as a bone and hiding in his arms acting coquettishly. Xu Lai couldn't even utter a single word if he wanted to refuse.

However, Yu Lan can transform, and her random spells are not restricted by the Forbidden Magic Ball, so she may be able to play unexpected roles on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Xu Lai sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me this time, but you must obey the arrangement next time."

Xu Lai threatened others without even mentioning the consequences, so one can imagine how effective his words would be.

Fortunately, Yu Lan knew how to measure things. As long as she achieved her goal, she would just say a few soft words to make her master happy.

As for the next time, I don’t know when the next time will be. It’s hard to say whether Xu Lai still remembers it.

After the arrangement was finalized, Xu Lai opened the door to time and space again.

The gate of time and space is more like a one-way transmission channel. You can only enter from whichever way you open it.

Xu Lai led his own order of knights, which continued to grow, and was the first, followed closely by La Jinsi's sacrificial group and the sixth knight group who finished last.

Nearly ten thousand people walked in, and the huge city suddenly became empty.

Su Ya stared blankly at the door of time and space that was still hanging, and couldn't help but want to rush through it many times.

But she always knew that what Xu Lai needed was a stable rear so that he could fight without any scruples in the front.

With a flash of light and a blur of vision, Xu Lai once again came to the temple's parish, a large manor more than ten kilometers away from Aiweike.

Looking at the team walking out of the Gate of Time and Space, each believer put down their farm work and stared at them.

A priest who had been on duty here came over in a hurry.

"Great, Your Excellency Xu Lai, you are finally back."

Xu Lai was startled and said, "Has the battle already begun?"

The priest nodded and said: "Yes, Archduke Aled led his troops from Shiklai City this morning and first launched an attack on the three satellite forts outside the Emerald City.

The Crimson Archbishop of Kemiller has just given us an order to prepare for all of us to move and mobilize the guards stationed here to gather at Aiweike. "(End of chapter)
