The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

For Lacy, as long as he can prove to the temple that orcs have appeared on this grassland, it is enough, and the temple will naturally send people to deal with it.

The temple is unable to intervene in the civil war between the human camp.

They had tried to intervene and had won. However, after the party opposed to the temple failed to seize power, they completely abandoned their faith and joined the tower camp.

This loss was too huge for the imperial camp. The loss of tens of millions of people and tens of thousands of knights made the victorious temple once abandoned by the God of War.

After such lessons, the successive popes of the Temple have repeatedly emphasized the iron law of the Temple's eternal neutrality.

The existence of the temple is not for any noble or king, but for the benefit of all mankind.

Outside of Middle-earth, other camps are always watching with eager eyes. Whenever there is civil strife in the human camp, other camps will always take the opportunity to invade.

Therefore, at this time, the temple takes on the work originally belonging to various nobles, expelling foreign enemies and protecting mankind.

Since the people from the temple could not arrive until at least the afternoon, Xu Lai naturally would not stay in Gram Village all the time. Before leaving, Xu Lai expressed his willingness to pay for two of the most common mounts.

Xu Lai clearly remembered that his ordinary horse was upgraded together with the trainee archer, so since ordinary horses can be upgraded, why would he buy a higher-level, mainly more expensive grassland horse.

Xu Lai's request shocked the village chief. Apparently he had never met anyone who wanted the worst horse.

Village Chief Lazi glanced at Xu Lai, pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Xu, this time we are fighting the orcs, I promised you that I would lead the soldiers in the village to fight with you.

However, this combat mission has been shouldered by you alone, and I feel bad about it.

Well, there are still some horses in our village. Brother Xu will pick two of them personally as my compensation for you. "

After all, Xu Lai has been in society for two years and is not very familiar with the ways of the world, but he is not stupid either.

Xu Lai felt bad when he heard the village chief Laqi's tone. The other party thought he was looking for an excuse to fight Qiu Feng again.

Sure enough, as soon as Village Chief Laqi finished speaking, the eyes of the two young men behind him, including Pastor Rasha, changed when they looked at Xu Lai.

No matter how shameless you are before the entrustment, it is a normal bargaining. If you have other demands after the entrustment, it is probably because there is a problem with your character.

Xu Lai quickly explained: "I really just need two ordinary horses. If Brother Lacy is not willing to sell them, forget it."

After saying that, Xu Lai wanted to leave. After all, he lacked experience and obviously didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so he had to simply give up the request.

Seeing that Xu Lai was about to leave, Lazi felt that he might have really misunderstood Xu Lai, so he quickly grabbed his horse's rein and said:

"Brother Xu, don't leave in a hurry, I know you are embarrassed, but brother, I am really guilty.

Let's do this. I'll pick two of the most common draft horses. One is yours to buy, and the other is my little wish. "

The load-bearing capacity and endurance of the draft horse are stronger than those of the prairie horse, but there is a huge gap in the key attribute of the mount, that is, speed.

On the other hand, pack horses are short, much worse than prairie horses. They are a little taller than donkeys, cannot charge as fast, and are shorter than others in fighting. They are generally only used to carry goods or people, so they are called pack horses. .

The price of a draft horse is even cheaper than that of an ordinary horse, but Xu Lai actually wants to buy an ordinary horse. Who knows that this thing has been proven.

But I was too embarrassed to make such a request at this time, so I spent 30 gold coins to buy a packhorse.

Normally, the price of a pack horse is about 20 gold coins. Of course, that is in a horse-raising area like the grassland, and it is not this price in other places.

Although 30 gold coins is not the price of two pack horses, the cost of village chief Lazi is fully recovered, and he does not need to pay privately to compensate the herdsman family.

After buying the packhorse and adding the 50 gold coins taken out of the gold box after 12 o'clock, Xu Lai's gold coin reserves were only over 530.

He didn't plan to spend the money again unless the two trainee archers wanted to advance to the level of horse archers.

Because after gathering the Castle Hearts, he would have to change his home, and this place was really unsafe.

The orcs can meet him as soon as they climb Pingfeng Mountain. They can't just have noobs like last night.

In fact, after the battle last night, the orcs on the mountain had already noticed it, but it was late at night and the distance was so far that the battle situation was really difficult to see clearly.

All they knew was that the torches of Yves's group were all extinguished outside the camp before they even entered the camp. The process didn't even take a quarter of an hour.

This also made them wary of Xu Lai's strength, so instead of rushing down directly, they wanted to investigate during the day.

At this moment, the two-headed ogre mage riding a golden eagle was hovering above Xu Lai's head.

From his condescending position, Xu Lai couldn't notice the ogre magician at all. Correspondingly, the ogre magician couldn't actually see clearly.

The golden eagle he sat down could see clearly, but he did not have the sharp eyes of the golden eagle, so he could only take a general look at Xu Lai's situation.

The two-headed ogre magician saw all the interactions between Xu Lai and his guards and Gram Village.

Although he couldn't see Xu Lai's team clearly, based on his understanding of the imperial soldiers, the cavalry in the imperial camp were basically middle- and high-level beings, and Xu Lai had three people riding horses.

Although the other one is not riding a horse, his speed is not slow at all. He can keep up with the speed of the knight. Judging from the experience of the ogre magician, he must be at least a 5th or 6th level warrior.

Of course, he didn't know that Xu Lai had a logistics bonus, and he was followed by units like shooters that didn't wear heavy armor.

Coupled with his rough count, Xu Lai had at least more than 20 warriors here, and there was a human village not far away that could provide support.

In a head-on battle, the ogre magician was not sure of victory, so he decided to wait until night before launching a sneak attack.

In fact, there is no need for him to stay here at this time. Yves has been killed by humans as he wished, and the stronghold has lost a hero for no reason.

Humanity is in the middle of a civil war. I heard that demons, undead and even monsters in dungeons have invaded Middle-earth. Humanity is at its most vulnerable at this time.

There were both excuses and circumstances, and the ogre magician couldn't think of any reason for the royal court not to intervene.

When the time comes, their tribe, which is closest to the grassland, will inevitably be reused.

It's just that he is unwilling to go back like this. It doesn't matter if he loses a hero for the sake of the overall situation, but this matter is related to him, and he has a responsibility that he cannot shirk.

So, if you can take back the head of a human hero, your merits and demerits will probably be equalized, and you may even get additional rewards.

How could these two ogre magicians not be tempted by this?
