The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

It was not Elvi who reported the news to Xu Lai. Elvi was busy directing the horse thieves to work.

Speaking of which, after you have a role model, there will be more and more role models.

After all the recruited horse thieves and thieves were killed or fled, the remaining thieves in the village unexpectedly surrendered in unison.

These surrendered horse thieves even broke out in a fierce civil war over the boxes of treasure.

However, the treasure they snatched this time was dedicated to Xu Lai and had nothing to do with themselves.

Even the horse thieves secretly hiding in the secret passage were not enough for them to share. They would just find a horse thief of about the same age and rush up and stab him directly.

Being forced to do nothing, Xu Lai had no choice but to ask them to stop killing. If they continued killing, they wouldn't be able to get back a single piece of hard work.

Xu Lai just asked them to stop killing, but they had to continue working.

Unexpectedly, after surrendering to Xu Lai, these horse thieves might have thought they had joined Xu Lai's camp and demolished their own houses without any hesitation.

When doing other tasks, his hands and feet were even faster, and some people even took the initiative to go to various secret passages and gates to guard the doors for Xu Lai.

The army outside was discovered first by these horse thieves.

However, they thought this was Xu Lai's troops and excitedly went to notify Xu Lai.

Only Xu Lai knows best. Although he asked Su Ya, Diao Yanfeng and others to come over to respond, the time could not be so fast.

We parted in the morning, and it was only evening time now. Even if Su Ya abandoned the redundant caravan, she could return to the city faster.

But at least before tomorrow, Yan Feng and the others should not be seen. Even if they travel all night, they will have to at least tomorrow morning.

Xu Lai didn't climb the tower. He ran out directly, wanting to see which immortal was coming.

The main reason is that the horse thieves said that there were 3,000 cavalry coming, and there were no flags, so the threat was not very great.

Walking out of the gate of the cottage, Xu Lai saw a group of cavalry.

Although Xu Lai did not recognize the cavalry, others recognized him.

Several riders rushed out of the team quickly. Xu Lai took a closer look and found that he actually knew the person coming.

No way, his memory before was completely different from what it is now.

Jimmy Martell is the commander of the Knights of Earl Ani and the lord of the Martell Territory.

Xu Lai got to know him because Jimmy took the initiative to find him, and he also invited Xu Lai to go to Martel for a tour.

Of course, due to time constraints, he has never been able to make the trip, or he simply never thought of going.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, good evening."

Jimmy was very polite and took the initiative to get off his horse and say hello as soon as he arrived.

Xu Lai frowned. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Jimmy, but the key person was the commander of Count Aini's knights.

But people are polite, and Xu Lai can't be rude.

He also nodded and said hello: "Sir Jimmy, long time no see."

In terms of noble titles, classmate Jimmy Martell holds the title of Viscount, which is a head higher than Xu Lai's Baron.

Therefore, in theory, Xu Lai should take the initiative to say hello to others.

Of course, Xu Lai didn't have such thoughts. Who made it impossible for him to be friends with Count Aini.

But people took the initiative to say hello, and Xu Lai would feel a little guilty if he ignored them.

Jimmy seemed to have great trust in Xu Lai. Although he brought two guards out, he kept the two men far away.

If Xu Lai really wanted to harm Jimmy, he could kill him in the blink of an eye at this distance.

However, Jimmy didn't seem to feel Xu Lai's coldness at all. He stood on tiptoes and looked behind Xu Lai.

"It seems that you have taken over this cottage. Are you alone?"

Xu Lai suspected that the other party was testing him, so he said unceremoniously: "Yes, it's just me."

In fact, he could indeed claim to have captured this cottage by himself. After all, the angels only came down after Xu Lai had already captured the cottage.

What once again surprised Xu Lai was that even if Xu Lai admitted that he was the only one here, the other party still had no intention of taking action.

"You are really fast. Count Aini asked Rodney and I to lead troops to the grassland to Bello's lair.

I didn't sleep all night last night and assembled the troops overnight.

Just as I was preparing to set off this morning, Count Aini suddenly gave me another address and asked me to come quickly.

I was quick, Rodney's infantry regiment was assembled at noon, and they had lunch at home before setting off.

Bello's lair is a bit far away, so we probably won't be able to get there until tomorrow night, or even the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, what Earl Aini wants is for me to come here to suppress the bandits first, while waiting for Rodney, and cooperate with him to destroy Bello's lair.

After all, Bello is the king of the grassland. Even if he is severely injured by you, you still have a lot of troops on hand. "

Xu Lai knew this. He had wiped out 4 or 5 of Belo's main forces, that is, there must be two main forces and several reserve forces in the lair.

Relying on Jimmy's 3,000 cavalry alone, even though they appear to be well-equipped elites, relying on cavalry to attack the city is somewhat of a joke.

It would be easier to attack this kind of elite troops that no longer have any elite troops. To attack Bello's lair, unless Count Aini comes in person, relying on his attribute bonus.

But it was obvious that Count Aini was not very willing to move his body.

Of course, Xu Lai didn't know that it wasn't that Count Aini was unwilling to move, but that he wanted to hold Xu Lai back after he entered the city.

It's a pity that Xu Lai didn't enter the city at all.

In Su Ya's words, even if Xu Lai wanted to go, he should do it secretly.

But, doesn’t Jimmy know Count Aini’s hostility towards him at all?

Moreover, even if he didn't know, he shouldn't tell Xu this important military information.

Originally, Xu Lai planned to wait until Yan Feng's relief troops arrived before looking for trouble with Bei Luo.

But in order to prevent the fruits of his victory from being seized first, he could now let Elvy fly into the air to see in which direction Rodney's infantry was moving.

If Xu Lai knew the location of the lair, he could go and set up camp in advance. If he didn't know the location of the lair, it would be better. At worst, he could follow them.

While their infantry was attacking the city, Xu Lai could even fly in directly and dig out their lair.

Xu Lai touched his chin. He really couldn't figure out what Jimmy meant. After hesitating for a while, he said:

“Since Mr. Jimmy, you are also here to suppress bandits, there are still some horse thieves who are being reorganized in the village, as well as some trophies.

Sir Jimmy might as well go and take some away. You have to give Count Aini an explanation, right? "

Jimmy looked at Xu Lai, but this time he said calmly:

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, this is against the rules.

You brought down the copycat. We didn't contribute any effort, so how can we be qualified to share the spoils? "

Xu Lai frowned. He was not being polite. In one afternoon, he had already put the valuable things in the village into his space backpack.

If Yan Feng and the others didn't come, he wouldn't be able to take the rest.

Even if Yan Feng and the others come, they won't be able to take away much. They are knights and heroes, not a transport team.

Therefore, the rest are originally the least valuable part.

Xu Lai originally planned to let these bandits transport them back by themselves, and just let Yan Feng or Joseph and a group of people watch them.

But now that he has met Jimmy, Xu Lai plans to simply be a favor and try out what this guy means.

Who would have thought, this guy actually wants nothing.

Xu took a look and saw that Jimmy's guards were about ten meters away from them. Even if they wanted to avoid suspicion, they shouldn't stay this far away.

But at such a long distance, if they spoke in a low voice, no one would be able to hear them.

"Sir Jimmy, could you please take a moment to speak?"

Although he shouldn't be able to hear, this is a magical world after all, and if you don't know, you have particularly good hearing.

Jimmy was not willing to take this step. He turned back and waved, and the two guards returned to the team angrily.

Now, there was really no one around them.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, what do you want to tell me?"

Jimmy Martell asked with a smile on his face.

Xu Lai planned to have a showdown with the opponent directly. With his current strength, he didn't have the patience to play charades with others.

"Your Excellency Jimmy, haven't you heard anything from Count Aini?"

Seeing Xu Lai asking this, the smile on Jimmy's face finally disappeared.

He said to Xu Lai with a serious look on his face: "What are you referring to?"

Xu Lai frowned and said, "Why bother? Sir Jimmy.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Or do you want to pretend to be a fool in front of me? "

Jimmy sighed and said: "Count Aini, I am indeed a little hostile to you."

"A little? The tens of thousands of orcs don't even have logistical supplies, yet they dare to cross thousands of kilometers of grasslands to attack my Qingfeng City.

Would you believe it without the help of Count Aini? "

Jimmy closed his eyes in pain, and said after a long time: "To be honest, I don't really believe it."

This answer is very interesting. Xu Lai looked at him and said:

"I have a testimony from an orc prisoner here, but it is only a one-sided testimony. If you are interested, I can find it for you to see.

Of course, if I'm not interested, I won't bother to look for it. "

Jimmy smiled bitterly and said: "You don't have to look for it, we all know about the people coming to the stronghold.

To be honest, as prairie people, especially those of us hereditary prairie nobles, we all hate orcs extremely much.

However, we did not object to any of the orcs' requests. Speaking of which, we all have responsibilities, but we can't blame them all on Aini. "

Xu Lai didn't expect that this guy would be so sincere and actually admit it directly.

"So, I deserve to be sacrificed and the people of Qingfeng City are sacrificed. Aren't they grassland people?"

Jimmy said bitterly: "You also know that the grassland has not been going well during this period."

"No need to explain. Since you have given up on Qingfeng City, you still dare to appear in front of me. What do you mean?" (End of Chapter)
