The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Just when everyone was silent, a demon pet with an illusory body flew into the conference room, which was still brightly lit in the middle of the night.

Seeing this familiar, Count Aini frowned.

He waved his hand and said:

"Don't say anything. The detailed information has arrived. We will analyze it later."

With that said, Count Aini opened the note in his hand.

Because of the whole plan to lure the snake out of the cave, Xu Lai didn't reveal it to anyone except Su Ya.

Su Ya is someone Xu Lai absolutely trusts, and she will definitely not betray Xu Lai.

Therefore, Bello's spies only knew that Qingfeng City organized a huge caravan, and Count Aini only knew that Xu Lai's personal cavalry was stationed in Qingfeng City.

However, this group of bodyguard cavalry, whose rank was so high that even Bello was afraid, had remained motionless since entering the city. Who would have thought that Xu Lai would abandon these bodyguards and sneak into the caravan.

Count Aini himself was a cavalry expert, and he also formed his own cavalry unit.

Ordinary recruitment of cavalry is not easy to train, and the strength is not strong enough.

The most advanced cavalry recruitment building can only produce level 6 knights. Those with higher levels must upgrade themselves or find a mountain fortress.

However, before the invasion of the stronghold, there was no decent war in the grassland.

He was not willing to let Count Aini lead his troops to level up, so he chose independent knights.

Independent knights need to buy equipment. After all, although the equipment for recruiting knights is a blank slate, it is a complete set.

It also takes time and effort to train, and most importantly, high rewards.

Therefore, although the combat effectiveness of an independent knight is equivalent to 3 or 4 recruited knights of the same level, the cost is about ten times that of recruiting knights.

Even Count Aini only has the ability to ride a hundred horses, which is a precious thing that he is not willing to use at any time.

But even among the hundreds of top bodyguard knights, he was not confident. No, he would definitely not be able to defeat the 50 archangels around Xu Lai.

After putting away the note, Count Aini put his forehead on his palms and sat on the chair for a long time, unable to speak.

The others looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was written on the note, and this time the Earl's defense was broken.

Parame, who was still a magic consultant, boldly went to Count Ani and took the note.

Among the followers and advisors around Count Ani, in terms of status, Master Parame obviously has the highest status.

Count Ani originally wanted to tell these followers and advisors the contents of the note, otherwise no one would be able to help him analyze the information or give him advice.

He was just temporarily shocked by the information, so he didn't want to speak.

When Parame came to get it, he simply handed it to him, leaving him to dictate it himself.

There wasn't much recorded on the note, and some of it was information that had been confirmed by surrounding towns.

For example, it has been confirmed that Xu Lai is indeed in the caravan, and all the horse thieves have been repelled.

However, compared to the information coming from surrounding towns, the information on the note was more detailed.

The note recorded in detail that the horse thieves were killed and injured numerous times. Dozens of Seraphim chased them for half a day and half of the night. The number of horse thieves who successfully escaped was probably not more than 100.

In addition, the traitor was also blessed by Xu Lai's attributes.

Of course, the traitors are not heroes. They cannot see their specific numerical values. They can only feel how many major bonuses their attributes have received, but they do not know the specific increase.

For example, the note says that it feels like the upper limit of life has increased a lot, but it is actually a 15% attribute bonus from the sacred blood bottle plus advanced tactics.

15% means that every 7 points of constitution can increase by 1 point, and 20 points of constitution can increase by 15 points of life.

Those who can be traitors have pretty good attributes, with basically 20 or more points of constitution.

Including the 21 points and 25% of the sacred blood bottle, both ultimate tactics cannot be defeated.

Therefore, there is no way to write specific data on the note. It can only be said to be a guess. It is speculated that there are ultimate offensive techniques, ultimate defensive techniques, etc.

Anyway, all the specializations they could think of were guessed to be the ultimate, describing Xu Lai as a super scary monster.

To use the description on the note, they had never felt that their power was so terrifying. It felt like taking ten pounds of adrenaline and transforming directly into superman.

Count Aini has inherited heroic attributes, and he still has talents, but even with the blessing of his talents, the cavalry under his command have only improved by a few percent.

The words were so exaggerated that Count Aini even believed that these spies had been bribed by Xu Lai and deliberately sent back wrong information.

However, the note also recorded Xu Lai's hidden strength in detail. For example, Xu Lai had more than 50 archangels around him, and more than 30 seraphs would return later.

Xu Lai has such a terrifying blessing and has a hundred top angels under his command.

Anyone who offends him must be careful and careful.

At least if Count Aini and Xu Lai really fall out, then he really doesn't dare to go to other places except Kaunaston Castle, which he thinks has good defense.

There is a lack of flying power on the grassland. In the past, they relied on the dragons on the barrier and the group of angels waiting for promotion supported by the temple to barely annihilate the flying troops in the stronghold.

Even if Count Aini recycles them at a high price now, he will only be able to save a few griffins at most.

According to the report of the traitor in Qingfeng City, in addition to the archangel, Xu Lai also had hundreds of griffins.

Without the protection of the numerous arrow towers of Kaunaston Castle, Count Aini believed that he would not be able to escape Xu Lai's aerial attack no matter where he went.

The last piece of information on the note was the main reason why it arrived so late.

The above clearly lists Xu Lai's huge gains from annihilating the horse thieves this time.

More than 10,000 corpses were slowly searched to ensure that not a single thing was missed.

I don’t know how long it will take to do this work just relying on the people in my own caravan.

What's more, your own caravan cannot be considered insurance. After all, there is a shortage of soldiers and horses in the early stage. It is needed by an individual, and a professional can recruit it.

At most, it's just an inquiry without having time to conduct an in-depth review.

Therefore, even if Xu Lai wanted to keep it a secret, he had no choice but to do everything himself, which would take forever.

Careful spies can roughly deduce Xu Lai's gains based on their own gains and asking around what others have collected.

Except for the goods and equipment distributed to other merchants and mercenaries.

According to the statistics of the traitors, Xu Lai should have harvested at least 500,000 gold coins and nearly 10,000 units of rare resources this time.

This is already a harvest that makes Count Aini envious to death. It does not count rare resources, only gold coins. 500,000 gold is also incomparable to the spring tax, which earns the most money in a year.

If we include those rare resources, I am afraid that the annual tax and the black money contributed by Bello and other horse thieves will be roughly equal.

However, Count Aini knew that this income was still much more than that.

The reason is also very simple. This time Xu Lai destroyed not only Bello's elite troops, but also the other three horse bandit groups.

As an independent group of horse thieves, the wealth of the leaders of the three horse thieves is considerable, even if it is not as rich as Bello.

And Xu Lai is likely to have wiped out the four most powerful groups of horse thieves on the grassland. The income of Beroga's three horse thieves leaders alone is an astronomical figure.

Just as Count Aini guessed.

Of course, Xu Lai could not leave it to ordinary people to count the horse thieves chased by the Seraphs.

Leave it all to people like Aiboka, Urdola, Nofa, and Giselle, whom Xu Lai can fully trust.

Elvi followed Xu Lai's instructions and captured all the well-equipped horse thieves.

These people are either commander-level or general-level commanders, and each of them has a rich net worth.

Among the few that Xu Lai personally searched, there were several Vickery gold coin boxes on his body, and the few commander-level corpses alone contributed nearly a million gold coins.

If you include the rare resources, mithril, fine gold, and the high-end equipment on them, the several generals plus the generals are worth at least four to five million.

The rest was pretty much the same as the traitors had estimated, with more than 600,000 gold coins and cash.

The rare resources are worth about 3 million, and the equipment and the like will be brought back to Qingfeng City for smelting, and a batch will also be sold at Kaunaston Castle.

The total price of these equipment, plus the goods brought by Xu Lai and the others from Qingfeng City, could easily exceed 10 million.

Of course, there is definitely not so much cash.

Even if all the markets in Kaunaston Castle were raided, the amount of gold coins should be around one to two million at most.

Fortunately, if Xu Lai wants to build Mingyue City and continue to upgrade and expand Qingfeng City, he will also need a lot of other materials.

King Aled provided a lot of wood and stones, but this was far from meeting Xu Lai's needs.

In fact, with Su Ya's blessing, Qingfeng City's daily production of wood and stone is not only enough for Qingfeng City to continuously build houses and arrow towers, but also Mingyue City can take care of both.

However, Mingyue City has not yet built fortresses and walls, not to mention that Xu Lai cannot let Qingfeng City stagnate at the base camp stage.

Therefore, he still needs to purchase some more from Kaunaston Castle, and purchase a large number of mid- to low-level castle hearts for synthesis.

It is not very realistic to directly purchase high-level Castle Hearts, but low-level Castle Hearts still have a fixed output.

As time goes by, a large number of advent heroes who either die or give up will actively and passively sell the heart of the castle.

It may be a bit more troublesome, as you need to manually synthesize them one by one.

Therefore, no matter how much money he had, Xu Lai still had enough to spend.

What's more, he also needs to prepare a large number of gems to prepare for the recruitment and advancement of angels.

After Qingfeng City's specialty crystal became famous, the daily output was far from keeping up with the sales. We just took this opportunity to replenish market consumption and further enhance the attractiveness of the Qingfeng City market.

It was precisely when he thought of this that Count Aini felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

In the entire grassland, only his Kaunaston Castle was a castle-level city. The other nobles could not afford to be promoted to the castle, but they did not dare to offend Xu Lai.

But Xu Lai would not listen to him, so Earl Aini could already predict that in the future, Kaunaston Castle would lose even its commercial status to Qingfeng City. (End of chapter)
