The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Nearly 200 angels, the lowest of which were 8th-level angels, caused great chaos on the city wall.

Whether it was an archangel or a seraph, with the blessing of Elvy, the damage was extremely high, and even the 8th-level black dragon enhanced by Moril could break the defense.

There were many people on the city wall of Aini, but there were not many high-level soldiers.

The royal guards and the chief guards with the highest defense all surrounded Aini.

Xu Lai did not let Elvy kill Aini by force. He had heard about the battle between the orcs and the empire before.

Aini, the old cunning man, not only arranged a large trap around him, but also tied up the flying troops of the stronghold.

He also ambushed many invisible assassins such as assassination masters and hunters.

This trick had worked wonders against the stronghold before, and Xu Lai would not let his precious angels take risks.

The fact was just as Xu Lai expected. In addition to the royal guards and the chief guards, Aini also arranged a large number of assassins around him.

These people have very poor defense and low HP, but their attack power is terribly strong, and most of them have the characteristic of ignoring defense, so they can hurt anyone.

In addition to these assassins, Aini also kept the trap plan provided by the tower mages.

He knew that Xu Lai would not let him go, so all the materials for this trap were prepared early, and he let his chief mage set it up before letting him go to the stronghold.

Otherwise, his collusion with the orcs in the stronghold could be at least a month earlier, and the orcs might invade during the New Year.

It's a pity that Xu Lai's angels didn't come close at all, and all dispersed to deal with their catapults.

Although the catapults in this castle are ordinary, the pyroblast bombs they use are not ordinary.

This thing costs one thousand gold coins, and it explodes as soon as it is thrown out. The power is like a rocket. Even with the ultimate defense and ultimate resistance, it is still difficult to withstand.

It's a pity that Xu Lai's troops are not large, and the catapults and operators are not top-notch.

Otherwise, if it exploded directly in the crowd like it did when it smashed the orcs, Xu Lai's 5,000 people would not be enough to deal with a few rounds of bombardment.

But now there are Seraphim, and the controllers are all a group of militiamen, who have no combat power at all, and these people dare not attack the Seraphim at all.

The angels spread their wings, and the militiamen and civilians beside the catapults ran away with a bang.

Aini was very angry, but he was angry and couldn't do anything, he couldn't stop more people from escaping.

Especially when the mercenaries, wearing more than a minute of sacred armor, climbed up the city wall from the long ladder, more people dropped their weapons and ran away.

The Aini family was not popular with the people, and the army at least had morale to support it. Those civilians were all captured by force, and no one was willing to fight for Aini.

It didn't matter if the civilians ran away, at most it would affect the supply speed of the continuous battle. Anyway, there were phantom shooters under the city, and no one dared to push those long ladders.

Hundreds of high-level phantom sword masters and phantom sharpshooters have more arrow shadows than Aini's thousands of archers.

Aini's archers are protected by the city wall, but their range, power, and number are far inferior to these phantom archers.

After the mercenaries climbed up the city wall, even the mercenaries bought by Aini were no match.

There was no other reason. Xu Lai outside the city held up his prophet sword high, and the light of the ultimate prayer had already fallen on everyone's head.

After suppressing the archers on the city wall and making them dare not show their heads, the mages and priests, under the command of Yu Lan and Elena, approached the city wall.

The light of healing magic continued to fall, and the flame rays and freezing rays shot out from time to time were also quite powerful.

Under the situation of being fully suppressed, Aini had to take action and use strategic spells first.

Without much hesitation, Aini went blind and covered the heads of the phantom archers.

By controlling this group of archers, Aini's own archers can emerge.

Even if the mercenaries who climbed the city wall cannot be beaten down, it is good news as long as the priests and mages under the city can be repelled.

Without the output of the mage and the treatment of the priest, there is only a group of mercenaries with weak output ability and far fewer than their own mercenaries, and they will be driven off the city wall sooner or later.

Unfortunately, blindness is a fire spell, and Aini does not have the bonus of fire magic, so at most he can only select one unit.

Xu Lai is now in the advantage, so he is not in a hurry to release spells, but to strike back and counter the opponent's moves.

Aini threw a blindness spell, and Xu Lai returned a healing spell, which not only restored the life consumed by the archer when shooting, but also removed his own negative state.

Aini was not surprised to see that his blindness did not work.

Hell is good at fire and dark spells, while the Empire is good at water and holy light spells.

Dispelling and healing are both spells that the Empire is good at, so it is not surprising that Xu Lai can use them.

However, when Xu Lai finished using healing, Aini took out a spell scroll from his arms and tore it up decisively.

Master-level [Dispelling]: Eliminate the influence of magic attached to all troops.

Aini had noticed the golden light on these people a long time ago. He had seen the prayer spell, and Dur had presided over this spell.

The existence of this layer of golden light, whether it is those mercenaries or shooters, the damage and speed are extremely terrifying.

Especially those phantom archers. The crossbowmen and archers of our side can’t match the terrifying speed of those phantom archers even if they shoot continuously.

Phantom archers are good at agility and have high levels, generally 7th and 8th levels. With the bonus of speed and prayer, they are naturally terrifying.

It is really unimaginable for ordinary people to suppress the archers who are ten times more powerful than us and occupy a strong geographical advantage with just a few hundred archers.

The key is that even if Aini is willing to shoot at casualties, he can’t bear it.

Even if our archers have the blessing of the city wall, they can’t even break the defense of the opponent’s archers without a critical hit. There is no blessing of luck this month, resulting in extremely poor output ability.

In fact, this is basically the huge attribute gap between the two sides and the bonus brought by the morale of both sides.

The ultimate prayer is just the icing on the cake.

A blue light flashed, and all the BUFFs and debuffs of everyone on the battlefield were cleared.

Seeing this, Xu Lai also said: "If I had known earlier, I would have released it later, and saved me a chance to cast a spell."

Yu Lan smiled and said: "If you don't release it, he will definitely prefer to control our shooter and will never release this dispelling method."

Xu Lai shrugged and said: "I just feel a little bit wronged. This guy actually competes with me in terms of financial resources."

Xu Lai was too lazy to purchase the basic spell scrolls himself, and Wei Yihong and others were responsible for it.

In Xu Lai's space backpack, there were many high-level spell scrolls seized because of various high-difficulty wars. Any one of them was far more advanced than this master-level dispelling method.

However, he didn't intend to waste too much, and also selected a low-level spell scroll, but this spell would be very useful even after the battle.

What appeared in Xu Lai's hand was a khaki spell scroll.

And when Xu Lai tore it open, a yellow halo directly enveloped the entire city.

This is an ultimate slowing spell, which can directly cover the entire enemy army and reduce their basic movement speed and attack speed by a quarter.

Since the slowing spell reduces the basic movement speed, if the enemy has talents such as speed or specializations such as logistics, it will be reduced more.

Xu Lai chose the slowing spell between attack acceleration and slowing spell.

Because this spell will always affect all enemies as long as it is not dispelled.

Others don't care, but Xu Lai is afraid that Aini will escape again. This guy escaped from Reina before.

And with the influence of the slowing spell, if Aini wants to run, Xu Lai will find it easier and catch him back.

Sure enough, as soon as the slowing spell fell, Aini felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had a few hundred pounds of weight on his body out of thin air.

Most importantly, this slowing spell also greatly affected his hidden hand.

Although those dark assassins were in a state of invisibility, they were still affected by the slowing spell.

If they were attacked at this time, he was afraid that it would be too late to mobilize rescue.

Aini could clearly feel the covetous eyes on the city wall.

Even if we don't consider the powerful angel Elvi, the formation of his own mercenaries and infantry became more and more precarious under the support of the enemy's mages and the mercenaries' desperate charge.

Not long after the battle started, from the time the first boulder was thrown, it was less than half an hour at most, and more than 3,000 soldiers on his side had been killed, and the number of civilians who fled was countless.

There was really no way. Although his own troops had a huge advantage, their combat effectiveness was very different.

Seeing that morale had dropped below 50, the effect of the slow spell wanted to be lifted, but at least it would take until the next time to cast the spell.

Another defeat seemed inevitable, but Aini seemed to be hesitant about whether to escape again.

This city has its own guards, he is in charge, and the soldiers recruited in the past few months are also in this castle.

If he still escapes under this situation, then he will retreat to another city, which is nothing more than another defeat, and the defeat will be more miserable than this time.

There is no hope of escaping to another city. If he really wants to survive, he can only give up the grassland and see if the nobles in other places can take him in.

This hope is not great. He doesn't know anyone in the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire, which have nothing to do with Xu Lai.

In the Western Empire, where he has more friends, the people he knows have died long ago. Even if there are still some who are not dead, it's almost okay for him to take them in. What can they take him in?

The ruler of the Northern Empire is said to owe Xu Lai a big favor, so it may not be a good choice for him to defect to him.

And if the Northern Empire does not choose, then he can only defect to the orcs.

However, as a ruler surrendering to the orcs, and as a loser defecting to the orcs, the treatment that can be obtained is simply a world of difference.

Moreover, with the orcs’ cruel nature, there really would be room for another human being there.

Seeing more and more of their own soldiers retreating, the angels had already taken off to watch the battle and no longer participated in the battle.

Aini knew that a decision had to be made.

“Xu Lai, you and I have been entangled in grievances for more than half a year.

Although I have done something wrong to you, I have also helped you a little!”

From the vanguard flag, to the soldiers who replenished Xu Lai’s losses, to the fiefdom and the title, Aini did help him as he said.

Although he did not volunteer, he was the only one who received reinforcements among so many heroes who participated in the battle.

This provided great help for his early development.

Xu Lai rode forward and answered loudly: "What do you want? Just say it!"

Aini shouted at Xu Lai:

"You killed my own son. We have an irreconcilable blood feud. Do you have the courage to duel with me and use a sacred duel to completely end our grievances?"

Xu Lai was surprised. He did not expect that Aini would challenge him to a duel.

Just as he was about to agree, Yu Lan on the side hurriedly stopped him and said:

"My dear, you can't do that. Look at Aini. He didn't even talk to us and didn't get close to the city wall. He stood there motionless.

There must be traps around him.

Aini is now struggling to death and will definitely die. You don't have to take this risk."

At this time, Aini was almost hiding his true intentions.

Although Xu Lai didn't know what arrangements he had made, he was sure that there must be traps.

However, Xu Lai was quite confident in himself. He smiled and said:

"This matter is also my karma. It is a good thing for me to resolve it myself.

Of course, I am not a fool. No matter how confident I am, there is no need to break into other people's traps in vain.

You will come with me to the city later. Prepare the spells secretly and release them when you hear my command."

There is no magician around Aini now. Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to secretly lead people to cast spells.

Theoretically, Aini, a knight, does not have enough spirit to perceive.

In order to avoid being discovered, Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to only bring those magicians at the level of mage to cast spells together.

The order that Xu Lai obtained was naturally used on Yu Lan, which also gave Yu Lan the characteristics of a general who can cast spells together, but the combined release of spells is more powerful.

Seeing that Xu Lai had no so-called chivalry at all, Yu Lan smiled and said:

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Anyway, Aini shouldn't be able to kill you instantly."

Xu Lai rolled his eyes, patted the thick meat pad behind Yu Lan and said, "I'll deal with you when I come back."

Xu Lai agreed to the request for a duel, so Aini simply asked people to open the city gate directly.

Anyway, as long as Xu Lai can be killed, all the recruited soldiers under his command will have to scatter and pose no threat.

And if Xu Lai can't be killed even in this way, he estimates that he will either escape or die. Does it matter whether the city gate is open or not?

On the wide city wall, the two sides are clearly divided.

Eni's side obviously has more people, but few of them have smiling faces.

On the other hand, Xu Lai's side has been fighting for nearly an hour and killed a lot of people, but not to mention the death of his own side, there is not even a single wounded person.

"Come on, today it's either you die or I live!" As soon as Xu Lai finished speaking, he immediately rushed forward with a sword.

In order to show respect for the ancient tradition of duel, the troops of both sides hid behind the two men.

Aini narrowed his eyes, and the metal armor on his body flashed. The trap that had been prepared long ago was not launched in a hurry.

He used to use a two-handed sword and swung it hard in front of Xu Lai, and a sword energy immediately hit Xu Lai. (End of this chapter)
