The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Viscount Nordin's strength was already so terrifying that Luo Mingru didn't have any confidence at all.

It's not like he did nothing during this period. During last month's Windy Moon and this month's Skeleton Moon, he followed Xu Lai's example and went out to conquer several times.

A lot of treasure chests have been opened, and the werewolves under his command have generally been promoted to level 4 or above, becoming werewolf warriors.

The main output lizard shooter was upgraded to an average level of 5 by him, turning him into a strong lizard shooter.

He also built a lot of imperial buildings, and re-recruited a group of infantry and some level 3 shooters, led by his generals.

But at this time, facing Viscount Notting's troops that were simply overwhelmed by numbers, Luo Mingru was really powerless.

Give him another year or two to develop, maybe he can accumulate a certain number of troops, and then rely on city defense facilities to compete with Viscount Notting.

However, people would not give him this time at all.

And even with this time, Viscount Notting continues to develop. He has more territory, more towns, and more troops to recruit.

Luo Mingru's only advantage is that he is more diligent. Every Monster Moon will do his best to lead his troops to encircle and suppress wild monsters.

But one or two treasure chests and a handful of high-level troops cannot make up for the huge gap in numbers.

These traditional nobles, for the time being, are still beings that they, the descending heroes, cannot afford to offend.

However, when he originally thought that Viscount Notting, who had come for support, would completely lose his patience and attack his town, the troops surrounding him slowly dispersed.

There was a bright light in Luo Mingru's eyes, and he thought of a certain possibility in his mind, staring at the direction where the group of cavalry were coming.

The crowd dispersed, and what appeared in Luo Mingru's eyes was indeed that familiar figure.

Luo Mingru raised his hand excitedly, wanting to wave towards the familiar figure.

Thanks to Xu Lai's credit, Luo Mingru's current level is not low. In addition to fighting wild monsters during this period, his level has also been raised to level 14.

However, as soon as Luo Mingru raised his hand, he silently lowered it.

He saw Xu Lai's troops, which included nearly a thousand cavalry (the angels were ignored as they flew in the sky), which was very powerful.

If these nearly a thousand cavalry men charged directly, even if Viscount Nordin's troops were ten times as large as Xu Lai's, they would still be scattered.

However, Xu Lai stopped his troops.

Without speed and charging distance, cavalry is nothing more than infantry on horseback.

Of course, Luo Mingru and Xu Lai were not related, so it was impossible to expect Xu Lai to make enemies of the established nobles of the Northern Empire for his sake.

However, the appearance of Xu Lai finally gave Luo Mingru a glimmer of hope, although this glimmer of hope was quickly dashed.

Both Viscount Notting and Xu Lai are quite far away from Luo Mingru.

Luo Mingru, who was standing on tiptoes, could barely see the two people talking, but it was impossible to hear the slightest sound.

The less he heard it, the more anxious Luo Mingru became.

Because he knew that what the two were talking about was about the life and death of him and his town.

Luo Mingru didn't know why Nordin wanted to give Xu Lai face, even though Xu Lai's cavalry was obviously more advanced than Viscount Nordin's.

But Viscount Noting represents the nobles of the entire northern empire. If Xu Lai goes to war with Viscount Noting, the first person he will offend is the nobles of Viscount Noting.

The advantage of having a high-ranking noble is that when you are bullied, the high-ranking noble must help you stand up.

The second person to offend is the entire Northern Empire nobles who can be regarded as one.

In normal times, they may each have their own ideas, but once someone tramples on the dignity of the nobles, they will definitely speak out unanimously.

Xu Lai, who was discussing with Viscount Nordin, seemed very relaxed. From the way Luo Mingru stepped on his feet from time to time, it seemed that he was still in the mood to wave to others.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and Luo Mingru could not see the relaxed smile on Xu Lai's face.

""Your Excellency Baron", even if this Luo Mingru is your friend, it was he who violated the rules we agreed on first.

Since he has surrendered to me and I generously shared my territory with him, we should abide by our agreement.

He violated the agreement, robbed the territory that belonged to me, and expanded his territory without authorization. He should have been punished by me. "

Xu Lai nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty Viscount Nordin, what you said is absolutely correct."

Viscount Notting specifically emphasized the identity of Baron Xu Lai, firstly to tell Xu Lai that he was also a member of the nobility.

Secondly, Xu Lai is a baron, but he is a viscount, and his rank is higher than Xu Lai's.

However, Xu Lai not only did not refute, but agreed with Nordin's point of view.

You know, the reason why Nordin said this was because he didn't dare to do anything to Xu Lai.

Even though Xu Lai only brought less than a thousand cavalry, only those who have come into contact with the high-level power of the empire know the weight of Xu Lai's thousand men.

That is real power, accumulated with money.

Not to mention anything else, once the more than 100 Holy Light Knights charge, their own troops will not be enough for others.

100 people take turns to release the sacred armor, and everyone can be invincible for several minutes.

During this period, even if no one else takes action, at least half of Nordin's troops will be wiped out.

Not to mention, legend has it that this heavenly hero named Xu Lai has already assembled the most famous artifact in the empire, the Angel Alliance.

Even Sellon, the second most powerful person in Hell, who could control the entire Northern Empire by himself, was said to have died in his hands.

The Doomsday Blade, the artifact in Sellen's hand that was feared by all the imperial nobles, must have also been in Xu Lai's hands.

Therefore, let alone taking action, as soon as Xu Lai expressed his intention to come, Viscount Notting obediently dispersed the soldiers, for fear of being misunderstood by Xu Lai.

"What do you want?"

Xu Lai had a smile on his face, but Nuo Ding couldn't hold on anymore and couldn't help but ask.

Xu Lai shrugged and said, "Rules are rules, and I don't want to violate your Northern Empire's rules.

In my opinion, it's better to do this. I'll take them away and return the territory to you.

All the buildings in the town that cannot be taken away will be left to you as compensation on behalf of Luo Mingru. "

Viscount Nordin's eyes widened and he said: "You mean, you want to take away even the heart of this town's castle?"

Xu Lai said in astonishment: "As far as I know, this heart of the castle seems to have been brought and evolved by Luo Mingru!"

Viscount Noting had nothing to say. Luo Mingru had not abided by the agreement. Of course, Noting could justifiably take back the land.

However, if he still wants the property on the land, there is no relevant law to support it.

Of course, the vast majority of lords will not let go of everything on their territory when they reclaim their territory.

However, they can do it, but the superficial fairness must be maintained.

Therefore, when they met Xu Lai, who was more powerful than them, Viscount Nordin naturally had no ability to fight against him without even the only excuse.

"These descendants are all ambitious people. I hope you will not regret today's decision, Your Excellency Xu Lai!"

Viscount Nordin had no excuses, and he didn't dare to really fall out with Xu Lai.

So he gave a seemingly kind reminder, but in fact he just wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Xu Lai's heart.

Xu Lai did not doubt what Nuo Ding said about Luo Mingru upgrading the town, even though Xu Lai encouraged him to do so.

However, Luo Mingru's own unwillingness was the biggest motivation that drove him to upgrade the Heart of the Castle.

Otherwise, why did he already gather a castle heart when Xu Lai didn't show up.

Why did Xu Lai agree to the exchange despite knowing that the people in the surrounding villages and Green Forest Town didn't like foreigners?

Luo Mingru's ambition has always been there, and almost all the descendants, including Xu Lai, have such ambitions.

In the final analysis, everyone lives in different environments. The loyalty education Xu Lai and the others received only made them loyal to the country and the nation.

Nowadays, these two points are no longer possible, so they have no one to be loyal to, and naturally there is no so-called loyalty.

But being ambitious is not necessarily a bad thing.

Ambitious people are more willing to explore and make progress.

Xu Lai's current caravan is getting bigger and bigger. Wei Yihong, who has even been deprived of his hero status, brings his troops from town to town.

On the other hand, Fang Yang, who has been in Xu Lai's territory for more than a month, has almost no ambition. He wanders around all day long with his few soldiers and horses and his precious direction.

The two of them seemed to want to be rangers and had no interest in leading troops to fight, and Xu Lai had no way of borrowing his strength.

The only thing this guy can do now is to help Xu Lai bring some troops and go out to find some low-level wild monsters to upgrade.

After leaving a few words, Viscount Notting left with his troops, not even bothering to ask Luo Mingru for the liquidated damages mentioned earlier.

The big ones have been let go, so why bother with the petty profit? Let them go happily, and still get a favor.

After Viscount Nordin's men had completely left, Luo Mingru breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Xu Lai with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xu, you are really my great savior. If you weren't here, I would have been swallowed up by that old bastard Nordin."

Xu Lai lowered his body slightly on the royal horse, making him look less condescending.

The horse whip was waved, and the clear sound stopped Luo Mingru from approaching.

Xu Lai had no intention of dismounting, so he lay on the horse and said to Luo Mingru:

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. We are all friends. What I can help you with is to persuade Nordin to leave.

It is impossible for you to ask for this territory again, otherwise he will attack you with all his strength. "

This is not necessarily true, because as long as he, Xu Lai, is willing to forcibly defend, I believe that Nordin will grit his teeth and suffer this embarrassing loss.

But, what good does this do to Xu Lai?

Luo Mingru paused and looked at the land behind him in the distance, his eyes full of reluctance as he said:

"Brother Xu, if you don't help me talk to Nordin, he can charge me a few cents more in rent. I worked so hard to build it like this, and I really can't bear to give it up."
