The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"Lord, what the teller said before is right, the mercenary guild does cover the entire empire.

And unlike those mages who are indifferent to the outside world, mercenaries are generally very united. If you do this, you will offend all the mercenaries in the entire empire. "

Xu Lai frowned and said, "Then I should let them hang our reward at the top of the list?"

Jilong was speechless, and finally had to say: "In addition to having a huge influence on mercenaries, the Mercenary Guild also has a significant influence on businessmen.

Once the mercenary guild announces sanctions against a certain force or city, there are often fewer caravans going to that city.

You also know that before you swept away the horse bandits in the grassland, the major caravans were greatly harmed by these horse thieves.

In addition to horse thieves, there are also thieves, robbers, bandits and pirates.

Once the mercenary guild imposes sanctions on a certain city, all mercenaries who have joined the mercenary guild will no longer be able to undertake missions to that city.

Without the protection of these mercenaries, most caravans would not dare to go to these cities. "

Now it was Xu Lai's turn to be silent. If the caravan did not dare to come, there would be no talk of economic development.

Those who have the ability to form their own caravans and escorts are large-scale chambers of commerce, and the support of major lords is indispensable behind them.

However, as far as the grassland area is concerned, most of the nobles should have been offended by Xu Lai, so it seems unrealistic to expect the local chamber of commerce in the grassland.

"What's more, even if you force the Mercenary Guild to withdraw from such a mission, the Thieves Guild will still be involved.

Over the years, most such bounty tasks have been completed by people from the Dark Alliance, and they usually only go to the Thieves Guild to accept bounties and receive rewards. "

Ji Long really thought about Xu Lai. Their whole family's names were on it. At this time, he could still persuade Xu Lai to calm down.

Xu Lai had also calmed down a long time ago. He did not fall out directly in the mercenary hall, he was already restraining himself.

After coming out, Xu Lai also thought about related issues and the consequences.

Although his considerations were not as detailed as Jilong's, in general, he could accept no matter what the consequences were.

A person has a face, and a tree has a bark.

Xu Lai had already occupied the city, and as a result, the largest organization in the city openly placed a bounty on his head and hung it in the highest and most conspicuous place.

If Xu Lai didn't even deal with this and turned a blind eye, he would never be able to truly rule this city.

In the eyes of most businessmen and powerful people, Xu Lai is just a clown-like existence.

You can tell just by looking at the mercenary guild that a little teller who is not even a professional can look down on Xu Lai with contempt.

As for the consequences, from Xu's point of view, all the consequences are nothing compared to giving power from the barrel of a gun.

This is a world of power. As long as he is strong, others will only surrender to him.

Before today, Xu Lai never had much ambition.

As the saying goes, those who achieve great things have great ambitions. Xu Lai didn't even have any great ambitions, but he just ran around here, looked there, and took things as they came.

The reason for seizing Aini's territory was firstly because Aini went too far, and secondly because Qingfeng City was too small, and Xu Lai provoked too many and too powerful enemies.

Without seizing Aini's territory, Xu Lai was worried that he would have no strategic depth at all when someone finally came to his door.

Moreover, relying only on one city would severely limit the military reserves and economic capabilities. Even if Xu Lai actively developed affiliated towns and villages, he would not be able to satisfy it.

If we don't take in all the existing cities on the grassland, how long will it take Xu Lai Monkey to raise tens of thousands of troops?

But even if he robbed Aini's territory, Xu Lai's purpose was just to protect himself, and he never thought about anything more profound.

However, today, Xu Lai was somewhat stimulated.

Before today, he only wanted to defeat Aini's allies and occupy their cities.

But now, Xu Lai no longer thinks like this. He believes that he must capture the entire grassland and then eliminate all discordant sounds on the grassland.

He wants to be the ruler of the grassland, or even go one step further, to be the king of the grassland.

The first step in ruling the grassland is to let all his opponents and enemies see what will happen to those who disobey him.

There were only more than 200 knights in the two teams, but they were knights, and they looked mighty with their mounts.

Jimmy first commanded a group of knights and surrounded all entrances and exits of the mercenary guild.

After that, without getting off their horses, they led another group of knights and rushed into the mercenary hall, both men and horses.

Those who can be mercenaries must at least be professionals. Ordinary civilians are seeking death if they become mercenaries.

Moreover, although the door of the mercenary hall is spacious enough, there are more than ten steps, and Jimmy and the others cannot increase their speed for a while.

Therefore, as long as you are not a fool, there is no risk of being hit by the knights.

The knights have already rushed in. It can be said that the mercenary family's face has been ruined, and both sides have completely turned against each other.

After falling out, there is only one consideration, and that is how to defeat the other party.

Although Ji Long was young, he was quite decisive in doing things. After seeing this scene, he stopped trying to persuade him and instead said to Xu Lai:

"Lord, can you hand over the swordsmen and knights you have recruited these days to me first, and I will seal the teleportation array."

Only mages can host the teleportation array, but the Mages Guild is also an old force that has been in Conaston for a long time.

Although Xu Lai has only opened a teleportation route to Martell City.

But if someone takes the opportunity to open other transmission routes and let the Mercenary Association or Aini reinforcements come in, it will be more troublesome.

However, Xu Lai shook his head and said: "No need, it would be just right if someone comes over.

You take them and the security team to blockade the east and west streets.

Whether people over there want to come over or people over here want to come over, I will stop them all.

Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy! "

Xu Lai personally watched from outside and called the angels over. They were hovering above his head at the moment.

If he could still let people run away like this, then Xu Lai would be considered lucky.

But if someone at the teleportation array cooperates, then Xu Lai can just use this as an excuse to rectify the magic guild as well.

Although the mages of the Magic Guild behaved very calmly and cooperatively.

However, these mages were all recruited by Aini, so how could Xu Lai trust them.

Usually these mages are very cooperative, and the president even rushed all the way to Qingfeng City to build a teleportation array for Xu Lai.

If Xu Lai bullied his subordinates while the other party was away, Xu Lai himself would not be able to bear it.

After Elvi and Jilong were in place, Xu Lai shook out his cloak, and Roland quickly helped him hold it.

The sun shines on the magical armor that is fully illuminated, and the colorful artifact light is constantly flowing from the various parts of the Angel Alliance.

"Sir, please don't go in."

After all, it is a mercenary guild. This is a group of people who are best at fighting alone and working together in small groups. Their equipment may not be as luxurious as the nobles, but it must be the most suitable for their use.

Moreover, after excluding the surrounding knights, our own side must be at a disadvantage in terms of manpower.

The mercenary hall is not an open-top building. If Elvi and the others stay outside, they will not be able to receive support in time.

Xu Lai shook his head and said: "If even I, the rightful owner, dare not show up, then what can I do to intimidate others?"

Having said this, Xu Lai paused, then patted Roland on the shoulder and said, "Besides, I still have you.

At any time, as long as you are by my side, I don't have to worry about my safety. "

"Protecting you is my mission!"

Roland stood up straight with a snap. Even though his loyalty was at full level, Roland was sincerely moved by the feeling of being recognized.

The atmosphere in the military hall was tense.

Although Jimmy rushed in with the knights, he had the same idea as Jilong and did not want to break up with the mercenary guild.

He just received a communication from Xu Lai, asking him to lead his troops over immediately and prepare for battle.

Jimmy thought Xu Lai had encountered some danger in the mercenary guild, and he wanted to bring someone over immediately.

Fortunately, Xu Lai said he was fine and asked him to guard every entrance and exit to prevent any mercenary from leaving.

It's just that although Xu Lai said that he was fine, his order clearly meant that he had encountered some trouble here.

Therefore, Jimmy led the people and rushed in without saying a word.

Embarrassingly, he didn't find Xu Lai in the crowd.

The Mercenary Guild's reaction was also very quick. After all, someone broke into his home.

Dozens of high-level mercenaries, wearing various types of equipment, drew their swords, carried their shields, or hid in the distance or at high places, aiming their bows and arrows at Jimmy.

The president of the guild was a burly middle-aged man. He didn’t show any weapons. He stood in front of Jimmy’s horse with his head held high, raised his neck and shouted at Jimmy:

“Viscount Martell, do you think of Conaston Castle as your city of Martell?

If you want to show off your majesty as the new city lord, please go back to your city of Martell. You are not welcome in Kaunaston Castle! "

Jimmy frowned. He knew that there were many people in this city who looked down on him, and there were also many people who were dissatisfied with him.

But no matter what, he is the current master of this city.

Being shouted out in public to go back to Martell City, does Jimmy really have no shame at all?

Jimmy raised his head and said to the president of the mercenary guild:

"Mohan, I'll give you a chance. If you cancel this mission now, I can still pretend that it never happened.

otherwise……"

"Otherwise, what? Do you really want to fight with our mercenary guild? Do you have the courage? If you really take action, do you think you can get out of here alive?"

Jimmy glanced around. The low-level mercenaries didn't dare to look at him at all.

However, in the hall, in addition to the mercenary guild's own guards, there were also many mercenaries eager to try.

After all, his bounty is also hanging at the top of the mercenary guild.

Killing him during the chaos, and then exchanging a reward of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, should be what most mercenaries are willing to do.

Being stared at like prey by so many people, even though he was followed by nearly a hundred well-trained professional knights, Jimmy couldn't help but feel guilty.

This was not a battlefield. The battlefield seemed dangerous, but in fact, he was protected by personal guards, so he himself was relatively safe.

But these mercenaries with their blades licking blood are not the soldiers who follow the rules on the battlefield.

They are not constrained by formations, so they may be vulnerable in a head-on battle, but if it is against Jimmy alone, then even if he wins the battle, there is a high probability that he will be responsible here.

Not to mention others, the seventh-level sword master in front of him alone has the strength to kill him.

Jimmy's face turned red with anger, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Mohan, your mercenary guild must be an enemy of Mr. Xu Lai, right?

Do they know about the seven mercenary kings of your association? Did they agree? "

Mohan said unceremoniously: “Don’t use them to pressure me.

Someone posted a task, and the poster neither died nor canceled the task.

The task has not expired, and the publisher has paid a sufficient deposit and has the ability to continue paying the task rewards. Of course, this task will always be listed in the task system of our mercenary guild.

If you have the ability, kill the task poster. Without the poster, wouldn't the task be canceled naturally? "

Click, click, Jimmy's fist clenched.

However, Mohan on the opposite side was not afraid at all. The knight just had stronger defense and thicker health.

Even sitting on a tall horse, Mohan is sure to penetrate the opponent's throat in an instant.

Although Jimmy was wearing armor, he did not wear a full-face helmet like those on the battlefield.

Feeling the killing intent from Mohan, Jimmy wanted to retreat.

It's just that he hasn't found Xu Lai yet, so it's hard to explain to Xu Lai if he leaves at this time.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Xu Lai finally walked in with Roland.

Seeing Xu Lai, Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe the armor couldn't protect his whole body. Even a face-covering helmet would still leave holes for his eyes.

With Mohan's swordsmanship, he could pierce his eyes with that thin sword.

But with Xu Lai here and the powerful hero power, any damage he suffers will be reduced by defensive spells.

The scary thing about heroes is that they stand on the battlefield, and even if they do nothing, they can strengthen their soldiers dozens of times.

Seeing Xu Lai, Mohan, who had been a little arrogant in front of Jimmy just now, calmed down the ferocity on his face and hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, what brought you here? If you want to see me for anything, just send someone over to let me know."

As soon as he took one step forward, Mercenary Guild President Mohan had a smile on his face, and his smile was sincere and contagious.

Xu Lai had been blinded by this warm smile before. If he hadn't come to inspect it in person, he would never have thought that behind this warm smile, there was a lot of evil. (End of chapter)
