The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 436 The Fisherman’s Benefit
Obviously the casualties of the horse thieves were greater, but the commander of the horse thieves was smiling, while Rodney's face was solemn.
There was no way, although many horse thieves were injured, they could run back to the city after being injured.
Rodney's infantrymen, shooters, were injured and could only resist on the spot.
They can't even hide, because everyone has already formed a formation. If you move here, a huge gap will appear.
In addition, Bello and the others can go back at any time to replenish their arrows and replace their horses to restore their strength.
As for Rodney and the others, they could only continue to be harassed by this group of thieves.
Taking advantage of the fact that the battle losses are lower than the opponent's, morale can still be maintained.
Once it drags on for a long time, the first problem will be one's own ammunition supply, and then the physical strength of the soldiers.
With this kind of gameplay, Bello obviously couldn't let them have time to eat. He made it clear that he would drag them to death.
‘If I had known this, I should have brought the crossbowmen out. ’
Rodney sighed silently and called the messenger to change the formation.
The characteristic of archers is that they can shoot fast and far.
The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of effort to draw the bow, so it doesn't last long.
The crossbow does not have this shortcoming. With a good string, it can be aimed as long as you want. Not only is it very energy-saving, but it also does much more damage than these archers.
Ani asked him to bring the infantry out. Rodney could actually set off very early like Jimmy.
However, after all, we are going to attack the city, so bringing out pure infantry is not a gift.
It took some time to mobilize some sharpshooters and catapults, but finally arrived but was alone again.
Neither side has an air force, so Elvi can monitor the sky as she pleases.
Even with the air force, without props like the trainer's helmet, the beast would not be able to accurately transmit the message to its owner.
Taking advantage of his own morale advantage, Rodney snorted and ordered the entire army to advance.
Cottages are not like cities. They have completely different functions.
The cottage is mainly for defense, so the fewer doors you open, the less pressure you have on defense.
Cities are for life. The larger the city, the more city gates are needed, otherwise it will have a great impact on life.
Bello's cottage has only one gate.
Of course, as a horse thief's lair, there are still many ways to go back. There are at least three secret passages that can lead to the inner lair.
However, when entering from the secret passage, one has to expose one's secret passage location, and the other is that the secret passage is narrow and usually only one or two people can enter at the same time.
Therefore, once Rodney's infantry began to advance, Bello had to retreat.
If he didn't go back, all the elites he brought out would be locked away.
Xu Lai met Yan Feng and others and waited next to Bei Luo's other lair.
It wasn't until Elwey sent a signal to Xu Lai that Xu Lai launched an attack on Bello's lair while it was still not too dark.
The reason why we have to wait until this time is not because the defensive power of this nest is too strong.
On the contrary, there were not even a few soldiers guarding the lair.
Bello mobilized so much power that the lair was visibly weak.
It was too late and Xu Lai was too lazy to take action. With a pull of the prophet's sword, a group of angels leaped to the city wall with the ultimate prayer of the Angel Alliance.
The 8th-level archangel and the 9th-level seraph faced some horse thieves and thieves who were only level 4 and 5, and it was as if they were being crushed.
What's more, these angels also have Xu Lai's terrifying blessing, and their number is no less than these horse thieves.
It's a pity that Elvie is not here. A group of recruited angels only have fighting instincts. It is hopeless for them to open the gate of the cottage.
Xu Lai could only wait outside quietly.
If he could fly, he could fly in with these angels.
But he didn't wait long. After killing the guards on the mountain wall, the angels began to attack the gate of the mountain village.
It was clear that they only needed to remove a few horizontal bars, but these angels hacked away at it for several minutes.
Fortunately, it didn't take long, and Xu Lai could accept it.
Yan Feng has already led his team of heroes to surround the entire village.
Several advanced Pegasus knights flapped their Pegasus wings and patrolled back and forth in the sky.
Pegasus can fly, but they cannot fly as high and fast as Seraphim.
With these Pegasus knights patrolling in the air and Yan Feng patrolling the perimeter, Xu Lai was not worried that the horse thieves in this village could escape.
Having learned the lesson from before, Xu Lai did not kill indiscriminately. Only those with weapons in their hands would give orders to kill.
Anyone who lays down their weapons and surrenders will be spared by Xu Lai.
But this time is different from before. This time, Xu Lai has many people available under his command.
Joseph and the others were all brought back from the stronghold by Xu Lai, and most of them already had families in Qingfeng City, and a few of them even took the time to get married.
They are Xu Lai's most basic and most trusted team.
A few of them have even been transferred out by Xu Lai to assume leadership positions at the grassroots level.
Xu Lai was the most talented group selected at the beginning. With Xu Lai's bonus, almost all of these people advanced to the level of heroes and knights.
A few have even advanced to the level of heroic knights, taking orders from Tahan.
Only Joseph and the others chose the bow-riding route at that time, otherwise they would not have stopped at level 7.
However, level 7 and level 7 are still different.
Even if your career has reached its peak, you can still continue to improve through equipment, skills and other aspects.
For example, the most important long-range weapon skill of the cavalry, after it is improved, not only the long-range power can continue to be improved, but new skills can be added.
At a certain stage, the related attributes will increase.
After all, they are all living people and can be infinitely improved. Even if their skills and attributes cannot be improved, they can still continue to gain experience and knowledge.
These people are reliable and have strong fighting ability.
Unlike those horse thieves yesterday, Xu Lai wanted to use them, but at the same time he had to worry about whether these guys would cause trouble for him.
Time was in such a hurry that Xu Lai didn't even have time to search the horse thieves.
If someone secretly hides the treasure, Xu Lai will be the one who suffers.
Joseph has arranged tasks for each team leader, including the supervision of the inspection supervisor, the search for horse thieves, the search for Bello's secret, the excavation of the heart of the castle, and so on.
As for Xu Lai, he just needs to find a room with the best view to relax and rest.
While waiting for news from Elvie, he was planning when to take Rodney's retreat.
Xu Lai arrived at the lair early, and the reason why he didn't take action was to let Rodney seal Bello in the lair.
Of course Bello can escape by himself.
What can he do if he runs out alone? Even with a few confidants, it is impossible to recapture this village.
Xu Lai has made up his mind. Even if he can't find the castle heart of this cottage for a while, he will burn it down completely.
After burning down the castle, even if the heart of the castle is still there, if Bello wants to restore it to its original state, he must invest a lot of time, resources, drawings, etc.
In this way, at least in a short period of time, the threat of horse thieves on the grassland will be greatly reduced.
Of course, in addition to horse thieves, there are other threats to caravans.
For example, if the nobles' private armies are interested in making money, they can turn into horse thieves and plunder.
The worst case scenario is that everyone in the caravan will be slaughtered. If there are no survivors, there will be no evidence.
Compared with Bello, he regards Xu Lai as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
Xu Lai actually didn't have much feelings for Bello.
Xu Lai doesn't care whether he dies or not.
As long as all his wealth belongs to himself and all his cottages are bulldozed, Xu Lai's strategic goals will be achieved.
Now, he has taken down one of Bello's cottages, so he has been thinking about the second one.
Xu Lai couldn't help but grab this one directly.
Even if he made up his mind to fall out with Count Aini, Xu Lai hoped to wait until the evidence was made public.
Otherwise, if Xu Lai has no reputation and rashly attacks Aini, Xu Lai's favor and reputation in the empire will inevitably be reduced.
The most critical thing is that it will reduce Xu Lai's favor with the noble groups and the temple.
Xu Lai didn't care about the favor of the nobles.
But with the temple's support, Xu Lai can't give up just yet.
Apart from anything else, Xu Lai was very confident in recruiting all the angels in the temple.
It's a pity that no one cares about Yunzhong City in the wild, and the quota was wasted for several months.
Even the future architectural drawings of Yunzhong City will be obtained by Xu Lai from the temple, so the relationship with the temple still needs to be maintained.
This is also the reason why Xu Lai delayed taking action until now.
It was already early, and Xu Lai was afraid that the news of the missing nest would reach Bei Luo.
It would be troublesome if Bello chose to return for help or simply pack up his things and hide.
Now that the two sides are fighting, neither side is willing to evacuate at will. Even if Bello gets the news, there is no room for retreat.
On Rodney's side, the catapults have been set up, and the siege and defense weapons of both sides are constantly exchanging with each other.
It's a pity that Elvi's mana is not high. If she had as much mana as Xu Lai, Xu Lai would dare to let her directly broadcast live.
It's a rare time when I can have nothing to do.
Xu Lai sat on the rocking chair that Joseph found from somewhere and fell asleep without knowing it.
I don't know how much time passed, but the magic message stone in Xu Lai's hand finally started to vibrate.
Xu Lai doesn't know the specific situation yet.
In order to save Elvi's mana, he only asked Elvi to dial the communication with the least amount of mana, and neither of them would be in contact.
At this time, the communication sounded, which meant that Bello and Rodney were about to decide the winner.
Xu Lai stood up quickly and first looked at the night outside the window.
The moon is at its zenith, it's already late, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
"Joseph, I leave this to you, I want to take away Yan Feng and the angel troops.
You will stay here for another day tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. Even if the heart of the castle cannot be dug out, you must lead the team to leave. "
