The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai realized that he had made some miscalculations. This group of harpies had their own nest, and Xu Lai could not confirm the specific number while staying in the nest.

But it seemed like they didn't have many nests, so Xu Lai didn't hesitate too much.

Who knows, they just don't have many nests on the outside, and there are many more nests hidden in the woods.

The battle outside soon alerted the harpies inside, and they flew out in groups.

Xu Lai no longer allows sharpshooters to shoot two arrows with one bow. Although they all have large quivers, the number of harpies really makes Xu Lai feel a little pressure.

Even he had personally raised a high-quality bone bow. The three rangers could no longer even walk together. Instead, they divided into three directions, each leading away more than a dozen harpies.

It wouldn't matter if there were just more harpies, they couldn't catch up with the rangers, and they were unlikely to be able to do anything in the long grassland until the horses ran out of energy.

However, the rangers were not considered heavy cavalry, and with the harpy's physical strength, they might fall to the ground before the war horses.

The key is that there are witches mixed in among the banshees. The sharpshooter and the flame shooter have killed more than a dozen of them, and the entire archer unit has retreated more than a hundred meters.

But there was still a witch who flew into her casting range and shot a lightning bolt and a wind knife towards Xu Lai.

As mentioned before, wild monsters also have their own combat logic, and they will choose how to attack based on the actual situation.

Most of the monsters Xu Lai killed were melee monsters, but he also summed up the experience of many monsters in selecting targets.

First, they will give priority to the nearest attack target, so that they can cause damage to the enemy as quickly as possible and weaken the enemy's number.

Secondly, they will choose the best target to attack, such as the team leader, the hero Xu Lai and the general Su Ya.

After killing them, not to mention whether morale will be greatly reduced and the army will collapse. At the very least, intermediate archery, offensive skills, resistance and other specialized skills will not be able to take effect.

For Xu Lai, without any resurrection items, everything would be lost if he died, which was the most unacceptable situation.

In ancient times, generals who commanded in battles often set up their headquarters in the middle of the army to prevent being beheaded.

After Xu Lai concluded this rule, he would often take the initiative to hide behind the enemy and hide in the protective circle of the rangers before the enemy approached.

So, without the highest-priority commanders such as Xu Lai and Su Ya, the enemy's other priority targets are shooters and wizards with long-range capabilities.

First, their defenses are weaker, their health points are less, and the same attack can cause more damage to them.

Secondly, they have the ability to continuously attack their own side. By destroying these troops first, they can better ensure their own survival.

In fact, if the long-range troops are eliminated and only melee troops are left, these wild monsters will still have priority when selecting targets.

It's just that Xu Lai has never been to this point before, and his experience in this area cannot be summarized yet.

Relying on these experiences he summed up, Xu Lai fought more than a dozen times along the way, but he never suffered any casualties.

It was the same this time. Seeing that there were more harpies than a few shooters could eliminate in a short time, I immediately took the initiative to control the rangers to divide their forces and seduce them.

After they lured away half of the harpies, the pressure on the front was much reduced. The archers retreated while shooting, and there were only two or three harpies that could enter the casting range.

Regardless of whether the shield was useful or not, Xu Lai always raised the shield to protect his head and face.

The use of level 2 shields allowed him to gain more knowledge about shields. It no longer stuck to him stupidly like before, but formed an oblique angle, which not only protected himself, but also had a good line of sight.

However, the shield, which is very effective against physical attacks, was still effective when resisting the wind knife. It just exploded Xu Lai's small round shield with a click.

After the exhausted wind knife pierced the round shield, it barely scratched a small wound on Xu Lai's arm.

The Wind Knife was a physical + spell double damage attack, while the Lightning Bolt was purely a spell attack. The armor on Xu Lai's body had no effect at all.

Only his own constitution participated in the spell resistance, and coupled with the specialized resistance he had learned, this lightning bolt caused him a loss of more than 30 points of health.

Xu Lai judged based on the lost health points that the spell damage of this lightning bolt should be around 50 points, which was much stronger than the sorcerer's acid spell, but it had no other effects.

Xu Lai originally thought that his body would be numb, but he thought it would be just like an injection, and it would only hurt when he first came into contact with the spell.

Of course, this pain index is countless times stronger than that of a needle.

The two witches who appeared had no chance to cast a second spell. Together with the other witch hiding behind them, they were instantly killed by three level 5 shooters.

The sorcerer cast another slowing spell, and the speed of the harpies flying at the front dropped sharply. Under the strike of the shooter, their number was rapidly reduced.

After level 8, Xu Lai's health points are as high as 163 points with the blessing of the Ring of Life. He can withstand such lightning arrows 5 times.

Glancing at the number of harpies, Xu Lai felt that at the current speed, shooters might not be able to completely clear them.

So he quickly controlled the spearmen on the left and right sides of the shooter to move forward. There were a total of 14 spearmen. Two of them protected one shooter. There was no need to worry if they encountered the enemy head-on.

But these harpies are flying creatures. They flexibly bypassed the spearmen and went straight to the shooters.

Xu Lai threw away half of the useless round shield on his horse, held the orc battle ax in both hands, and struck it down fiercely.

The harpy's strength was completely incomparable to Xu Lai's. After its sharp claws left a mark on Xu Lai's body, Xu Lai hit him in the chest with an axe.

The attacking harpy escaped the spearmen's fire, but failed to escape the archer who folded his longbow.

The two sharpshooters raised their two-handed swords, which were taller than half a man, and swung them. The sharp blades fell, and harpies that could not dodge fell to the ground.

The Flame Archer was even more exaggerated, holding up a flaming two-handed sword and igniting one by one. The feathers on the harpy's body were really rare fuel aids.

This was the shooters' first close attack. With the blessing of Xu Lai's intermediate offensive skills, each of them was incredibly fierce.

Even the fourth-level spearman among melee soldiers is much inferior to the longbowman of the same level. The two-handed sword coupled with the high strength of the longbowman, the damage is a bit exaggerated.

The remaining ten or so harpies attacked, and Xu Lai was nervous for a moment, but he didn't expect that these harpies would be even worse when they got close, and they were all chopped down to the ground by the long archers.

When their morale collapsed and they tried to run away again, the spearmen's spears strung them into candied haws in the air.
