The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After Xu Lai sat down, Lina consciously sat on the other side.

Elvi did her part and stood side by side behind Xu Lai with another Seraph.

At this moment, the envy in Christine's eyes was almost visible.

Two blazing angels stood behind Xu Lai. Of course, he would not think that these were angels that Xu Lai recruited by himself and then rose through the ranks.

Christine would only think that this was another favoritism shown by the temple towards Xu Lai.

This made Christine even more resentful. Why did the temple support him with only a few gold coins and resources? To this Xu Lai, even the extremely precious Seraph could be given.

On the contrary, Entan, who was sitting next to him, had nothing strange in his eyes. He knew that this guy named Xu Lai had brought Seraph with him as soon as he arrived.

This guy also relied on this Seraph to defraud him of a precious mount.

After everyone was seated, Kemeler formally introduced the identities of everyone present to Xu Lai.

On his side, in addition to their three archbishops, there is also the great mage Deai and the elf commander druid elder Saran.

Sitting next to them were the two current heads of the priesthood, 7th-level Archbishop Hoss and 7th-level Archbishop Susie.

Their pastoral corps did not suffer much loss. Together with the bishops and pastors recruited from various places, they each still have a strength of 4,000 people.

Finally, Xu Lai and the others came behind them, Archbishop Larkins, the head of the priesthood, and Magister Horn, the head of the magician group.

Sitting opposite Xu Lai was Gilad, one of the archangels of the Temple Angel Legion.

Gilad, like Druid Saran, is a general with the ability to command troops. Some special effects can benefit angels and elves, but after all, they are not as good as heroes who have all the specializations to cover the entire army.

Then to the right of Xu Lai, sitting in the first position, is the lord of Aiweike, Marquis Anderson.

Sitting next to him is his eldest son, Knight Haosen, who is good at financial management and is level 31.

Behind Haosen was Knight Entan, a special swordsman, but he did not participate in the decisive battle. After getting permission from several archbishops, he simply did not participate in the meeting.

Next to Entan was Jerome, the former leader of the Third Knights.

His knighthood is the strongest among the three knighthoods. It does not go to the battlefield many times, and its victims are much less than those of the fifth and sixth knighthoods.

Therefore, this third knight order still has a strength of 3,000 knights, including one eighth-level holy light knight, 240 seventh-level paladins, and 759 sixth-level knights.

The ratio of formal knights to informal knights is actually as high as 1:2. No wonder he is qualified to rank third.

The second one above it, the First Knights, is even more terrifying. Xu Lai of the Second Knights doesn't know, but Xu Lai of the First Knights saw him last time in Holy Angel City.

All members of the family are official knights, and they are truly the first order of knights.

The Third Knights now have no leader and will be temporarily controlled by Xu Lai like the Sixth Knights.

Sitting next to Jerome is Christine, the current leader of the Fifth Knights.

It is worth mentioning that after forming a legion, all heroes in the legion are eligible to release strategic spells, but the legion leader has the first priority.

After the legion commander gave up, he ranked down the legion in order, but the speed had to be fast, because the entire legion's spellcasting also relied on the fastest soldiers in the legion to seize the opportunity.

Secondly, each hero in the legion can be designated to lead a troop. After receiving the hero's specialization and treasure bonus, this troop can also receive the specialization and treasure bonus from the legion leader.

Of course, repeated specializations and treasure effects cannot be superimposed. If they are inherited, whichever hero has a higher level will be inherited.

For example, Xu Lai has ultimate offensive skills but no defensive skills, while a hero in the legion has intermediate offensive skills and intermediate defensive skills.

Then, the hero's troops will be able to inherit the ultimate offensive technique and intermediate defensive technique.

In turn, the troops under Xu Lai's direct command could only receive blessings from himself, because he was the legion commander and all the heroes under his command were his subordinates.

Of course, Xu Lai's troops cannot be under the control of his subordinates. Naturally, their specializations and treasure effects cannot be inherited by Xu Lai and his troops.

If a certain army does not have a hero in command, it will automatically fall under the control of the legion commander, and it will also only be able to enjoy the specialization and treasure effects of the legion commander.

Finally, if a hero in the legion does not obey the orders of the legion commander, the legion commander can directly remove the hero from his post and automatically gain control of all the soldiers under the hero.

This last one is invalid for normal soldiers. They will still choose their allegiance according to their own will. This last one is only valid for recruited soldiers.

Therefore, joining the legion is also a very risky thing, because if you are not careful, your troops will be taken away by the legion commander in the name of others.

Of course, the legion commander is not unconstrained. For example, if a hero is removed from the legion, the morale of the legion will be significantly shaken, that is, there will be a significant drop.

Secondly, if a hero is dismissed rashly, the army under the hero will be in a state of chaos for a period of time. The army commander must wait for the chaos to disappear before the army commander can smoothly command.

Finally, the hero has the right to withdraw from the legion at any time, but withdrawing from the legion will affect the morale of both sides.

It is worth noting that when a hero withdraws from the legion, he can only take his original troops with him, not the soldiers assigned to him under the command of the legion commander.

However, there is a special situation, that is, the legion commander has sacrificed, then the troops assigned by the legion commander lose the right to distribute, and the hero can be taken away directly when he withdraws from the legion.

If not taken away, it will automatically return to the original owner after the legion is disbanded. If the original owner dies, it will continue to follow the hero.

If the original owner and hero are dead, then the legion commander has the final right to distribute.

If the legion commander is gone, the remaining heroes need to allocate their own soldiers before the legion is disbanded.

Otherwise, after the legion is disbanded, these soldiers will become ownerless people and completely become wild monsters after a period of time.

Next to Christine was Morrison, the former leader of the Fifth Knights. Morrison looked serious and had no idea what he was thinking.

Next to him is Lina from the Sixth Knights, and behind him are the generals under Anderson, the commander of the cavalry, the commander of the infantry corps, the commander of the archer corps, and others.

These people, all with a team of tens of thousands of people, sat in the last row at the main court of the temple.

Before Xu Lai sat down, he had already demonstrated his attributes to them. With the support of his talent, Xu Lai brought more benefits to everyone than anyone else.

Therefore, no one would object to Xu Lai sitting in this position.

However, just because no one objects, it does not mean that Xu Lai really has the right to be the commander of the army.

This is a temporarily formed legion. Everyone is not familiar with each other before, so the one with the best attributes will naturally become the legion leader.

But it would be embarrassing to exercise the rights of a legion commander. Attributes can only represent one aspect, and strategic deployment further tests the ability of a legion commander.

Before Xu Lai truly convinced others, what he said actually didn't have much influence.

This is why, before he, the legion commander elected by the temple, has appeared, others have already started discussing the strategic deployment.

Of course, this does not mean that others will not listen to Xu Lai's opinions. After all, he is the commander of the regiment now, not a nominal commander with only 23,000 cavalry.

However, Xu Lai is very self-aware.

It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Xu Laiyi does not know himself.

He knows exactly how many soldiers each of them brings, but he doesn’t know what their composition is like, their equipment level, their morale, and their level distribution. , Wu didn’t know they…

Isn't that a joke if he can't even be a confidant and let him talk about how to arrange troops and how to set up formations?

Can such a large corps battle be supplied by just a few supply vehicles?

Even if supplies can be brought in, how long will it take to cook? How many people can eat by digging a stove in a random place? How long will it take if they eat one by one?

To put it bluntly, among so many people, even half of the real people numbered tens of thousands. He didn't even know how many toilets to dig, where to dig them, what kind of soldiers to line up, and what formations to set up.

It's even more nonsense to know the other. Novak Mountain is only more than a hundred kilometers away from here. If you look up, you can see the thick smoke rising from it.

However, Xu has been here for so long, but he hasn't even looked over at Norwalk Mountain.

The same goes for the demon army. The more than 2,000 demons of Serron are all personal guards and follow Serron at any time.

There must be a permanent army stationed on Novak Mountain, and Xu Lai knew almost nothing about it from quantity to quality.

Therefore, Xu Lai showed great restraint and had an ear to listen.

Even Christian was trying his best to make suggestions based on his familiarity with Novak Mountain, but Xu Lai remained silent.

The three crimson bishops of the temple, including the heroes of the ramparts and towers, all had expressionless faces.

Although they have led troops, they have basically never commanded in battle.

On the other hand, the heads of the knights, including Anderson and his son, recognized Xu Lai's performance even more.

After all, laymen commanded experts to fight, and the battle was lost by 9 points before it even started.

Of course, recognition is recognition, and Xu Lai's silent performance will eventually be looked down upon.

Not many people asked Xu Lai for his opinion at first, but later they simply didn't ask and just arranged their own formations and plans to deal with various situations on the battlefield.

Not to mention, Xu Lai listened with great interest, some of which he had never even thought of.

For example, Marquis Anderson said that they would form a legion and attack Mount Norwalk in a mighty manner. What if Sellon did not engage the enemy at all and flew directly to Aivik?

A large corps war is not that simple.

Not to mention thinking of all possibilities in advance, but at least you should be mentally prepared for several special situations in advance so that you can deal with them after encountering them.

Not knowing anything, rushing forward with a large army, and catching blind people when encountering emergencies. Isn't it just a joke and playing house?

The whole afternoon Xu Lai sat here, he really gained more than ever before.

"Legion commander, what do you think of this arrangement? Is there anything else you would like to correct?"

As the oldest man with the longest military career present, Anderson made the general deployment.

After he made the arrangements, out of courtesy, he naturally had to ask Xu Lai again.

However, how could Xu Lai tell whether someone's deployment was good or bad? It was just that at this time, as a legion commander, it was really not cool to not say a few words.

"Ahem."

Xu Lai cleared his throat first, and then said solemnly:

"I have an idea. I dare not say much else, but in this decisive battle, saying less can increase the winning rate by 10%!" (End of Chapter)
