The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 427 Count Ani’s panic
When we arrived near Kaunaston Castle, it was still sunny at noon.
But until the moon was high, the loot was still not finished.
There were too many. Even after the battle was settled, nearly 10,000 corpses and horses disappeared from the battlefield.
There are still too many horse thieves left.
Xu Lai didn't care about the armor on the horse thieves, which obviously didn't have much protective power. He could at most take away the sabers or spears that were of higher value from the horse thieves.
Xu Lai didn't even want those soft bows.
However, just because he doesn't want it doesn't mean that the small businessmen and mercenaries don't want it either.
Except for those whose bodies were burned, all the horse thieves who had some equipment on them were stripped naked by them.
Cleaning up so cleanly will inevitably take a long time.
Fort Kaunaston is closed at night, so everyone can only camp in the wilderness.
But it doesn’t matter if you go camping, everyone gets a lot of benefits, and no one is unhappy even if they sleep naked on the grass, not to mention sleeping in a crowded tent.
Moreover, there are nearly a hundred angels here, standing guard for them.
Not to mention lonely ghosts, they were just wolves, tigers and leopards. Even an army of tens of thousands of horse thieves came and was wiped out by that terrifying man.
They have never felt so safe in the wild as they do today.
Even in the city, they still have to worry about thieves and theft, and local snakes robbing them.
But in Xu Lai Lai, they have gained a lot, and they are not worried that Xu Lai will fall in love with their three melons and two dates.
Xu Lai was indeed not interested. He was watching Urdola and Big Aboka interrogate the prisoners.
Accompanying him were Su Ya and Wei Yihong.
The brothers Urdola and Abokar had a deep hatred for the horse thieves, so the scene was quite bloody.
Xu Lai was not interested in this bloody scene, but he was already used to it and did not reject it.
He came here purely with a learning mentality, and it might be useful in the future.
Wei Yihong, on the other hand, seemed to be very afraid of such a scene, his eyes evading from beginning to end.
Xu glanced at him and said calmly:
"If you were to be caught by the noble you offended, your fate would be the same as theirs."
Wei Yihong shrugged and said:
"Didn't I get a thick enough thigh? Anyway, I don't plan to develop into martial arts in the future. It's too tiring."
Xu Lai said angrily: "Someone has already said that the information came from the big market and the caravan guards.
You are responsible for the big market, and you are also responsible for the caravans. "
Wei Yihong smiled bitterly and said, "I have a responsibility. Boss, please calm down."
Xu Lai snorted and said: "I think it's not just the horse thieves. Count Aini and other nobles on the grassland may not have sent people here.
After this trip, you go back and check them carefully one by one for me. Don’t let anyone go. Every person in a key position should submit an investigation report to me.
I don't care. Even if I learn such methods, it won't be my turn to use them.
I think you should study hard to avoid being fooled by them again when you investigate the traitor. Then I won't be so easy to talk to. "
Unlike others, Wei Yihong is his fellow villager after all, and everyone has grown up together from a weak period.
Therefore, with Wei Yihong, Xu Lai did not have too many polite words and spoke more casually.
Xu Lai handed over the matter of tracking down the traitor to Wei Yihong, but he did not trust Wei Yihong 100%.
Wei Yihong can get many things from Xu Lai Lai, such as wealth and status, but the only thing he cannot get is to regain his status as a hero.
If someone uses this to seduce him, he may not be able to be bribed.
But fortunately, this kind of thing shouldn't be that easy to do, and becoming a hero again may not be Wei Yihong's choice.
As the only high-level descendant in Qingfeng City, Wei Yihong can get more from Xu Lai Lai than he can get anywhere else.
Xu Lai was beating his own people here, and Count Aini, who was no more than a hundred kilometers away from Xu Lai in a straight line, fell into a state of having trouble sleeping and eating.
Count Aini saw the scene of doomsday at noon with his own eyes. Not only did he see it, he also heard the report from his men.
His magic consultant told him that the spell that could cover his entire city was called Doomsday Judgment, and it was a destructive spell with an extremely wide range.
Although Kaunaston Castle does not have a level 4 magic guild, Count Aini has also heard of this spell.
At first, Aini only thought that Xu Lai was desperate, so he cast this spell and died with the enemy.
But then he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that not only did Xu Lai's men not suffer any battle damage, but even his own towns that were taken care of by the Doomsday Judgment did not suffer any damage.
Ani was still rejoicing just now. Fortunately, even if Xu Lai could survive the Doomsday Judgment, he could find reasons and excuses to deprive Xu Lai of his title.
He could even kill Xu Lai directly or imprison him in the prison of Kaunaston Castle.
The reason is also very simple. As a lower-ranking noble, he takes the initiative to attack the territory and people of a higher-ranking noble. This is a very typical example of the subordinate overcoming the superior.
He then took advantage of Xu Lai's doomsday judgment and led his troops to capture Xu Lai directly. This saves him from attacking the city that he couldn't even capture the stronghold.
"Master Palame, tell me, are there any other props that can prevent you from being harmed by the Doomsday Judgment?"
As Aini's magic consultant, Paramei was silent for a long time, then shook her head and said:
"Use fire resistance potion, magic immunity potion, and invincibility potion to resist fire damage.
Or you can use a magic shield to resist, which is no problem at all.
However, these methods can only target Xu Lai personally and cannot cover the entire army.
As a hero, even if his resistance power is full and he uses the ultimate fire-bending magic in advance, coupled with the anti-magic suit, he can only reduce the damage by 90% at most.
After all, these things do not add up.
However, after reducing 90% of the damage, most people should be able to resist it.
But I heard the report just now. It is said that part of the Doomsday Judgment has already covered your town, Lord Lord. "
Ani nodded silently.
"Then there is no other way. The hero's attributes only take effect on your own troops and cannot cover friendly troops.
If you want friendly units not to be injured, only that artifact can do it. "
"You mean, the Doomsday Blade?"
Parame smiled and said, "Do you also know about the Doomsday Blade?"
Unlike Parame, there was no joy at all on Count Aini's face.
He said calmly: "Not only do I know the Doomsday Blade, I also know whose hands it should be."
As a magician, Paramei was also extremely interested in this kind of magic-related artifact, and he hurriedly asked:
"where is it?"
Count Ani looked at Parame and said: "If I remember correctly, the artifact Doomsday Blade should be in the hands of Sellon in the hell camp.
As for Sellon, it should be in the Northern Empire.
The letter asking for help sent to me by the nobles of the Northern Empire and the temple clearly stated the location of Sellon and the strength he possesses. "
"I remember that there seemed to be good news from the Northern Empire some time ago. It is said that Grand Duke Aled has recaptured the Emerald City."
Earl Aini said: "Not only that, the Grand Duke of Aled is now the real king of the Northern Empire, and the temple has recognized his status.
I just sent a congratulatory letter and gifts some time ago, but the Northern King did not accept them and returned them intact. "
"I heard that the recent accusations against you were brought to the Parliament by the nobles of the Northern Empire."
Earl Aini snorted coldly and said: "Now it seems that it has something to do with Xu Lai.
This white-eyed wolf must have been hooked up with people from the Northern Empire for a long time. If it weren't for my title, he would have become a member of the nobles of the Northern Empire. "
No one dares to take up this topic.
In fact, everyone can see how Aini treats these descendants.
Only one-third of the Advent heroes who were thrown out by him and attracted the attention of the orcs are still alive.
For the remaining two-thirds, the villages were basically wiped out by the orcs, and the people simply died.
Even among the one third who are alive, only a few remote villages are still developing.
The remaining ones are all unlucky ones who have lost their villages and don't know where they are.
Xu Lai was not much better. Count Aini had just sold his family once recently, and in the past two days he had discussed with his subordinates again about collecting winter taxes.
Moreover, if Count Aini hadn't felt guilty when facing Xu Lai, he wouldn't have to worry about him becoming so powerful now.
"Your Excellency, don't worry too much. Maybe Xu Lai used some methods that I don't know about.
How could he, a hero who had only arrived for less than half a year, kill Sellon, the eldest son of the ruler of the abyss, who had lived for who knows how many years? "
"Haha, I didn't believe it before. Sellon, who has an army of demons and holds the Doomsday Judgment, will die.
But now, the Emerald City has been taken back by the Northern Empire, and the army of the temple is heading to the Western Empire.
All signs indicate that Hell has been driven out of the Northern Empire.
No matter what, we must first assume that Xu Lai holds the Doomsday Blade.
You all tell me, if Xu Lai uses the Doomsday Blade to attack us, how can we defend it? "
Several advisors and followers around Aini were all silent.
After a while, Parame said hesitantly:
"Probably not, the Doomsday Judgment can cover the entire city, and even if you use equipment or magic books to cast spells, heroes can't control it.
There are hundreds of thousands of civilians in Kaunaston Castle. Does he want to be the public enemy of mankind? "
On the battlefield, no one from the opposing sides would say anything even if they killed surrendered soldiers.
However, killing civilians is against the laws of war.
By killing a small number of people, you might be able to find an excuse, or simply cover it up.
If you use the Doomsday Judgment, it is not much different from massacre. Massacre of civilians and killing of civilians are two completely different levels of crime.
Of course, under this situation, the empire has fallen apart, and no one can punish Xu Lai if he really violates it. (End of chapter)
