The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 434: Allegiance (Thanks for the small task reward)
"Sir Jimmy, what do you mean? Are you trying to rebel?"
This time, Jimmy was stunned. He said to Xu Lai in confusion:
"Could it be that your request to King Aled is just to expose the true face of Count Ani?"
"Hehe, hehe, that's not all." Xu Lai smiled awkwardly.
In fact, Xu Lai doesn't have any additional actions at the moment, he just has such a plan in his heart.
The noble council probably can't find any evidence, so there is no flag to use yet.
Plus, he had too few soldiers at his disposal.
Just like today, he can use himself or 100 angels to capture the horse thief's stronghold.
But he can't manage this stronghold by himself. The heart of the castle needs to be dug out, the loot needs to be picked up, and the captives need to be managed and escorted.
Without soldiers watching, how could Xu Lai drive this group of people back? Why would they all run away halfway?
Even if Xu Lai doesn't want to take prisoners, how many can he kill by himself? Will he directly burn the horse thieves, women and children in a doomsday judgment?
Xu Zizi asked himself that he couldn't do this, so he could only find someone to look after it, find someone to manage it, and find someone to move it.
A horse thief's stronghold that can be destroyed at any time is already like this. Count Aini has three cities alone and an estimated ten or so attached towns.
Even if there are only two or three managers in each town, there are hundreds of soldiers, which is thousands of people. How can Xu Lai have so many troops and manpower.
Therefore, ideas are just ideas and it takes time to accumulate.
“As soon as the evidence is submitted, Count Aini will no longer have the basis to rule the grassland.
And Your Excellency Xu Lai, I think you are the most suitable and most needed ruler for the grassland at this time.
If you also have this idea, on behalf of the Martell family, I fully support your rise to power. "
Xu Lai swallowed hard and confirmed again:
"What exactly do you mean? If I remember correctly, this is only our second communication."
Jimmy knew that Xu Lai would not believe him so easily, so he simply abandoned his dignity, tossed the cloak behind him, and knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Lai.
Xu Lai was immediately shocked. You must know that among the nobles in this world, there is no such thing as kneeling.
At most, they will kneel down on one knee to their lord on the day they are granted the title.
As for Xu Lai, firstly, he could not confer the other party's title, secondly, he could not even give the other party a promise, and thirdly, he could not give the other party any reward.
"Your Excellency Xu Lai:
I, Jimmy Martell, offer you my loyalty.
My family, my army, and my subordinates will all obey your orders and obey your dispatches. "
Xu Lai really wanted to convince himself that Jimmy Martell was loyal to him for other purposes, because he really couldn't give him anything at the moment.
However, Jimmy Martell was the first and only nobleman to be loyal to him since he came to this world.
Even though this nobleman did not obtain the inheritance of a hero, he was only a sixth-level knight.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Lai did not follow what was shown on TV and drew out his sword and tapped him on the shoulder and head a few times.
He bent down, helped Jimmy Martell up personally, and said to him:
"I don't know why you chose me, and I can't make any promises to you right now.
I can only promise you that as long as I live one day, I will do my best to protect you and your family.
If one day we can unify the entire grassland, you will be the largest noble in the entire grassland besides me. "
After saying this, Xu Lai felt somewhat guilty. After all, it was too unreliable to rely on his 5 or 6 thousand people to talk about unifying the grassland.
However, Xu Lai felt guilty, but Jimmy Martell was very convinced of Xu Lai.
He stood up and said: "Then I would like to thank you in advance, my lord."
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that, given our current situation, is it appropriate to fall out with Aini so early?"
Jimmy shook his head and said: "We have not and will not take the initiative to fall out with Aini.
We can only take the initiative after his charges are proven.
In this regard, I will disseminate the evidence as soon as possible.
However, when I return to Martell Territory, I will definitely be a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
He is a person who hates betrayal the most. I think he will definitely send troops to attack me.
Speaking of which, it was also because of his favor that the Martell Territory did not suffer much losses in the last war with the stronghold.
The military establishment in my territory is extremely well preserved.
Currently guarding the base camp, the available troops are 1,000 knights, 6,000 infantry and 10,000 archers.
After I detain Aini's cavalry unit, the only conventional troops Aini can use are the two large infantry regiments and the crossbow regiment.
However, Aini can also mobilize other nobles for support. As far as I know, there are not many nobles willing to support Aini, and the troops he mobilizes will not be too many.
If you can surrender Rodney, Aini will lose a lot of basic infantry.
And with the support of Rodney and me, there shouldn't be too many nobles who are willing to continue to follow Aini.
In addition, I can also help you lobby as much as possible, even if you cannot persuade them to be loyal to you, at least let them remain neutral. "
“If the evidence comes to light, I’ll be confident.
Even if Rodney couldn't be surrendered, the worst he could do was kill him in the midst of thousands of troops. He was leading pure infantry anyway. "
The most important role of a pure infantry unit is to attack fortresses.
To put it bluntly, it is resistant to damage, but the output of the Empire's Crusaders and dual-sword style is still quite powerful.
The only drawback is that it moves slowly.
Xu Lai is not afraid of pure infantry troops. On the contrary, he is a little afraid of pure mage troops.
Thousands of mages fired in a volley, and if they all aimed at him, the damage would be terrible.
"That's okay. Since you are so sure, Aini won't be able to make any waves."
Jimmy is actually not too worried. If he and Xu Lai are in the same camp, then his own troops and civilians will not be harmed by the Doomsday Judgment.
On the other hand, Aini's side, no matter how many troops he gathers, as long as he comes to attack the city, he will at least have to endure several rounds of Doomsday Judgment.
Unless, like the Northern Empire, the entire Northern Empire's troops and forces were concentrated to attack the city in turn, until Xu Lai's mana was exhausted and even the mana potions were used up.
However, the Northern Empire has millions of square kilometers of land, dense towns, and an extremely large population.
What's there in the grassland? It's vast and sparsely populated. Few towns means fewer troops and fewer buildings.
The small population means that there are also few independent fighters. In a battle with the stronghold, the losses on the grassland will be very large.
Count Aini, what capital do you need to gather batches of troops now?
If he didn't take the initiative to attack and kidnap the civilians in the castle, Xu Lai might not be able to do anything to him.
But if he takes the initiative to attack, then I'm sorry. Xu Lai's Doomsday Judgment doesn't know what it means to be polite.
Aini and his think tanks analyzed this point last night.
Jimmy also knew that as long as Xu Lai did not fall, then Xu Lai would be invincible just like Sellon.
The key was to kill Serron, and countless soldiers from the Northern Empire were helping to kill him. Who would be responsible for killing Xu Lai?
Now that he has established himself in an invincible position, why should Jimmy Martell be panic? He is not panic at all.
What I'm afraid of is that he is really besieged by Count Aini, and if Xu Lai is unwilling to rescue him, then Jimmy will become the chicken that Count Aini kills to scare the monkeys, and he will definitely die.
Therefore, Jimmy was the first to jump out and pledge allegiance to Xu Lai before others had time to react.
Although doing this would be a huge loss of face, after all, as a long-established nobleman, he was loyal to a hero who had just arrived.
But Jimmy knows very well that every time a hero comes from the sky, a big reshuffle is coming.
As early as during the war with the stronghold, he had taken a liking to Xu Lai and took the initiative to hand him over at that time.
But he didn't expect that Xu Lai would grow up so fast, but it also strengthened his determination to join Xu Lai.
Sure enough, he was the first to jump out and successfully moved Xu Lai, eliminating even his last worries.
The two sides did not continue chatting. Xu Lai watched each other and took a detour with Count Aini's knights.
Speaking of which, for this hasty meeting, neither party was sufficiently prepared and lacked enough trust.
Jimmy said it sincerely, and his stance stood on the entire grassland, looking impeccable.
But nothing can change the fact that he stabbed Count Aini in the back.
At this point, Xu Lai couldn't completely trust him.
But what has to be said is that precisely because people like Jimmy chose to join him, he was able to save a lot of accumulated time.
After a long time, Elvi came to report that the cottage had been relocated and all the resources, including the heart of the castle, had been mined, just waiting for Xu to come and get it.
Xu Lai took a deep breath and decided not to think about anything else.
Regardless of whether Jimmy's surrender is a trick played by Count Ani, or it is Jimmy's true surrender.
In short, you need to be strong in blacksmithing, and developing Qingfeng City is the most important thing at the moment.
The important assets have been packed into the space backpack by Xu Lai.
As he killed more and more heroes, the capacity of his space backpack became astonishing.
There is actually a lot of space in his space backpack.
But he planned to leave these places to Bello, who was known as the King of the Prairie.
Since he calls himself the King of the Prairie, he must have a lot of good things at home.
Taking away the castle heart from the cottage also gave him three options. Xu Lai chose to destroy it and got two town-level castle hearts.
In addition, he also obtained several drawings, two of which he had with him, which were the construction drawings of the Archer Tower and the Lancer Watchtower.
When almost every town is upgraded, two or three types will be randomly selected from among archers, crossbowmen, spearmen and swordsmen.
This kind of basic blueprint is not very valuable even if it is sold.
However, Xu Lai also obtained another drawing called a shipyard.
A shipyard can be constructed through blueprints, capable of producing a type of large gunboat called an "ocean-going gunboat".
