The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 617: Death Struggle
"Paramei can no longer be contacted. I think she is in danger."
The poison has already taken effect once. The orcs have been alert and it is unlikely to continue to take effect.
Therefore, Count Aini, who has been imprisoned by Xu Lai, can finally come out for a breath of fresh air.
Standing on the top of the Stone City, which has been completely changed, Aini was filled with emotion, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
Aini had anticipated this outcome when he made the plan.
But he did not hesitate at all, and did not even tell Xu Lai about Paramei, for fear that Xu Lai would give up the plan directly because of such concerns.
Once the plan was implemented, Aini did not tell anyone, not even his son and wife, let alone the rest of his confidants and Paramei.
Now, the orcs should have reacted and knew that the problem was with the cattle and sheep provided by Aini.
Whether it was Xu Lai or Aini, they knew very well that the orcs were a race with a strong sense of revenge and could not suffer any loss.
He had attacked Xu Lai before, and now he was fighting to the death with Xu Lai.
Therefore, Aini was also very clear that after this incident, the orcs would never let him go.
As for Xu Lai, it is estimated that this group of orcs have no good way, but they still have ways to deal with him, Aini.
The most common and effective method is assassination. Now he has no power, and his confidants and life-saving equipment have been taken away by Xu Lai.
If the orcs really send a sword master to assassinate him, he will not be able to protect himself at all.
The only person he can count on now is Xu Lai.
Xu Lai knows the mage Parame, but this mage has no moral integrity, and he is specifically against him.
"It's better to die completely, otherwise this kind of human traitor will be skinned and cramped." Xu Lai said lightly.
If he dies, he dies. Xu Lai will not feel sorry for him at all, and he has never thought of taking this kind of stuff for himself.
It's okay for him to work for Aini, but colluding with aliens for Aini is simply disgusting.
Besides, Parame was loyal to the orcs at this time, and being killed by the orcs was just a dog biting the dog.
Xu Lai was not only happy, but also wanted to publicize Parame's death. He was even willing to exchange Parame's body from the orcs.
First, it was to show Aini's loyalists that loyalty to such a master would only lead to betrayal.
Second, it was to warn the rest of the people and let them know the fate of traitors. Otherwise, the orcs were powerful, and maybe many people would really want to defect to the orcs.
Especially those heroes who had come to Xu Lai but were not appointed by Xu Lai.
These guys could no longer develop on their own, and they were unwilling to leave the grassland. Maybe they had colluded with the orcs before the orcs arrived.
Aini swallowed quietly and said, "Xu Lai, I have done what I promised you.
I will give orders to the rest of my men later. You can send people to take over the castle directly. I promise that no one will resist."
Xu Lai understood Aini's meaning very well and said to him, "Don't worry, I keep my word.
From now on, you are free and can go anywhere you want.
But Earl Aini is dead, and your family will completely give up all rights on this grassland.
I hope you can understand what I mean."
Aini really understood it very well, and nodded hurriedly, "I understand, I understand very well.
From today on, Aini is completely dead, I am just a body without a soul.
My heir will publicly announce the renunciation of all rights on the grassland on any occasion you need."
Xu Lai nodded and waved his hand somewhat uninterestedly.
He did not intend to break his promise, because it was not worth it at all.
First of all, Aini did play a key role in this plan.
Secondly, Xu Lai made a public oath, and too many people witnessed his oath. Even if all the witnesses were his people, he could not deceive himself and the gods in the sky.
At the same time, if he killed Aini, he would inevitably lose some trust.
In comparison, Aini's revenge was the least thing he was worried about.
He even hoped that Aini would raise an army for revenge, so that he would have a reason to kill Aini and completely end this cause and effect.
Just as Aini was about to leave, Xu Lai suddenly said:
"By the way, I thought about it, now you are a thorn in the eyes of the orcs.
In the future, don't tell anyone about your own news, so that you won't be killed by someone and think it was my fault."
Xu Lai could kill Aini himself, but he didn't want to take the blame for others, so he reminded him.
It was good news that he didn't have to report to Xu Lai anymore, but it was bad news that he had to face the pursuit of the entire stronghold camp from now on.
At this moment, he was sincere and hoped that Xu Lai could drive all the orcs back to the Gobi Desert.
However, in his lifetime, Eni probably wouldn't have the courage to continue hanging out.
After sending Eni away, Jilong continued to report to Xu Lai about the gains from last night's battle.
They fought all night yesterday and moved supplies for a day today.
Xu Lai could be idle and play in the Jingguan, but he, the adjutant, couldn't.
He had to keep an eye on each team and continue to encircle and suppress the orcs who fled yesterday.
In the dark night yesterday, many orcs did not know the direction. Very few were able to escape into the orc camp in the west. Many of them had to rush back to the team when they could see clearly during the day.
These orcs are scattered and don't have much combat effectiveness. It would be strange for Xu Lai to tolerate them returning to the team easily.
In addition, during the day, the field of vision of Seraph and Pegasus Knights will be much wider.
Even if the roundup is surrounded by wolf cavalry, they can quickly receive support, and at the worst, they can point the team in the direction of evacuation.
As for the stronghold that had completely lost its air control, the remaining golden eagles almost all had to avoid the angels' range of activities, and were completely unconcerned.
In addition, Jilong also needs to keep an eye on the logistics side. Although Wang Chao has Xu Lai's trust, he also needs appropriate supervision.
Everyone has greed, and proper supervision is not only responsible for oneself, but also for Wang Chao and others.
Finally, Jilong also needs to record his own gains and losses, analyze the enemy's damage, and provide better data support for subsequent battles.
"Such a lot of food and grass seized? How long can the orcs last if they can't get any more food supplements?"
Ji Long couldn't answer this question. Yu Land, who already had several secretaries to help him, said:
"It depends on whether the orcs want to continue to drag us out, or whether they want to fight us quickly.
Although we seized a lot of food and grass, they also killed a lot of people.
Taken together, the situation of the orcs should be similar to before, and they can still sustain themselves for a while with the help of reinforcements from the rear.
If they want to drag us on, as long as they transport more supplies and less troops, they can at least drag us on for a month or two.
But if they want to fight us quickly, they will definitely attack our grain team and station a large number of troops. "
As soon as Yu Lan finished speaking, Reina sent a messenger to the top of the city.
"I've met your lord."
The visitor was dressed as a knight and immediately knelt down on one knee when he saw Xu Lai.
Seeing the visitor, Xu Lai frowned subconsciously, because the messenger soldier was wearing a military uniform that Xu Lai had just customized a few months ago.
An army needs collective cohesion, and at the same time, on a fierce battlefield, it also needs something that allows the enemy and us to quickly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Flags, military uniforms, identical patterns and standard equipment, etc., were all born for these purposes.
The Qingfeng Legion has garrisoned the Stone City, and those who are stationed and patrolling along the lines of the Stone City should be soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion.
However, those who came running at this time were wearing green military uniforms of the "Chivalry Style" legion.
The Knight Corps, which was born on the grassland, uses military uniforms of this color, which is quite complementary.
The Qingfeng Legion, which Xu Lai relied on the most and regarded as the core force, wore sky blue military uniforms, which was Xu Lai's favorite color.
In the defense area of the "Qingfeng Legion", a messenger from the Knight Wind Legion appeared, which did not seem like good news.
"Please get up. I remember your name is Xiu Yi, and you are a knight commander of Chivalry."
The knight named Xiu Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Reporting to your lord, it's me."
Seeing this, Xu Lai could confirm that this guy probably didn't bring him any good news.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Lai said: "Tell me, what happened."
Xiu Yi still hid his head on the upright thigh and said in a deep voice:
"Commander Martel, let me report to you that the two escort teams sent today did not return on time.
After investigation, we found the bodies of the convoy soldiers and the transport team members, and a large number of wolf bite marks were found on their bodies.
In addition to some of the food supplies of the transport team, the rest of the crossbows, ammunition, ore and other resources also showed signs of being burned. "
"Wolf creatures, that should be Kenlo Hager's Wolf Cavalry Legion?"
Xiu Yi raised his head and said to Xu Lai:
"Our army commander asked me to tell you that the two attacked transport teams came from two different cities.
The two teams, except for meeting at the end, have completely different routes and are far apart.
According to the reports of the elite scouts who conducted the investigation, the two teams were attacked at almost the same time. It was inferred that the two teams should have been attacked by different enemies.
In addition, according to reports from the city lords stationed in several small cities to the east, they also suspected that wolf cavalry had been spotted there. "
Xu Lai sighed and said, "Kenlo Hager has divided his troops. I don't even know how many troops he has divided into."
The orcs have the advantage of the orcs. Their entire camp comes out in force, and the troops and horses may be limited by the natural chasm and cannot gather them all at the moment.
However, senior generals do not have this restriction and can join the battle sequence first.
In the battle last night, Xu Lai killed a lot of high-level orc heroes.
But the entire Wolf Cavalry Legion suffered almost no losses except for some poisoned people and the unlucky ones who ran to the wrong place due to the chaos.
On the one hand, this is because these wolf cavalry were not stationed with the main force, but were stationed on the flanks to protect them, thus avoiding the fate of being blamed.
On the other hand, Kenlo Hager made a prompt decision.
Otherwise, like Naruda, who clearly knows that it is inconvenient to find opponents at night and is easily defeated by the angel legions one by one, he still waits until Sachs gives the order before leaving.
Otherwise, Elvy would not dare to lead the angels to chase and kill those thunderbirds.
You should know that the thunderbirds are of high rank and their number is dozens of times that of the angels. Even if physical attacks cannot break the defense, the thunderbolts they summon can kill the angels.
But these thunderbirds are too scattered. With the magic resistance blessed by Xu Lai and the huge life value of the Seraphim, it is not a big deal to resist a few thunderbolts.
It can be said that it was Ruda's hesitation that ruined the remaining thousands of thunderbirds of the flying legion.
However, Sachs did not punish Ruda for this, because Ruda was protecting him after all.
If Ruda and his thunderbirds had not entangled Elvy, Elvy might have already targeted Sachs and killed him directly, laying the foundation for the situation.
As a fearless knight, although Tahan is brave, he can't track which one is the beast king in the dark.
As long as Sachs leaves some death squads and entangles Tahan, he will have time to escape from the battlefield.
Xiuyi continued, "According to the scouts, the battle was very fierce and fast.
The guards and transport militiamen and civilians added up to nearly a thousand people.
But those wolf riders were able to kill so many people in a very short time.
Including the time for looting food and burning supplies, it took less than half an hour."
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, the fighting power of the separated wolf riders is still very strong. It seems that it is not easy for us to divide our troops to fight against them."
Xu Lai is confident in himself. Even if he meets Kenlo Hagben's team, he believes that his side has a greater advantage.
But Tahan and his team, without a hero to lead, the attribute gap will be larger.
Even if Xu Lai has some advent heroes who have surrendered, the highest level one is not more than level 20, how can he compare with other high-level orc heroes.
Therefore, once his side divides his troops, Xu Lai will have little confidence.
After thinking for a while, Xu Lai said in a deep voice: "Pass my order to all the city lords, acting city lords and municipal governors on the grassland.
Tell them that from today on, all labor outside the city will be suspended, all city gates will be closed, and no one is allowed to go out.
Of course, civilians outside the city should also move into the city as much as possible, and distribute daily necessities on a per capita basis.
For pastures and farms that cannot be moved inland, the population and livestock will continue to be transferred to the direction of Qingfeng City.
At the same time, tell Jimmy that there is no need to transport supplies to Wanshi City anymore, and temporarily cut off all trade routes, and do not give these wolf cavalry any chance to obtain supplies."
After all, Wanshi City cannot cut the grassland in half.
So it is not surprising that the wolf cavalry can bypass the Wanshi City defense line.
However, no matter how brave these wolf cavalry are, they dare not go deep into the grassland, and the Qingfeng City area should still be safe.
Of course, if the wolf cavalry really go deep into it, it may cause a lot of losses to Xu Lai.
But these wolf cavalrymen were alone and deep in the enemy's territory. As long as Xu Lai surrounded them from the rear, they would be unable to fly and have nowhere to escape.
Unless Kenlo Hag could also open a teleportation array and teleport directly back to the base city, Xu Lai would really have no way to deal with it.
But Kenlo Hag and his men were divided into several groups. Could it be that all the main generals could fly? (End of this chapter)
