The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 649 I don't owe you anything
"Wright, why are you here?"
Archbishop Duer rushed in with an angry look on his face. He didn't even bother to say hello and directly questioned Wright.
Wright frowned and said: "The Great Demon King Kerrigan of the Abyss has gathered a large number of soldiers from hell and is heading towards the City of Holy Angels.
You can sit there peacefully, but I can't. I must find every possibility to save the City of Holy Angels.
Holy Angel City has stood in this world and on this continent for thousands of years.
No matter how the dynasty rises, falls and changes, it has never fallen, even less so now. "
Duer snorted coldly and said: "So you just made your own decision and asked Xu Lai to run to Lion Heart City to die?"
Wright stood up angrily and said: "What does it mean to die?
In terms of level, His Majesty the King's hero level is as high as level 43, which is second only to the Abyss Demon King Kerrigan in the entire empire camp.
As for equipment, as far as I know, His Majesty the King has the super artifact suit Angel Alliance, the super artifact Doomsday Blade, and the sacred blood bottle.
Needless to say, how much life can a single sacred blood bottle add to the lives of colleagues in Holy Angel City?
In terms of attributes and abilities, after all, the real body of the Abyss Demon King cannot penetrate the sacred barrier, and there is no hero in the hell camp to obtain the Tears of Asha.
No matter how many specializations Kerrigan has, they can only be the ultimate at most. His Majesty the King has erected a statue of the God of War, but he has at least one god-level specialization.
In terms of attributes, His Majesty the King may be slightly worse.
But at this moment of life and death, it would be absolutely no problem for the Congress and the church to come forward together and allow His Majesty the King to take the opportunity to visit a few more attribute points and upgrade points.
It can be said that after several visits to the entire empire, except His Majesty the King, no one can be found who can stand up to Kerrigan. "
Duer took a deep breath and said to Wright: "Archbishop Wright, I hope you can calm down.
The order given to us by the temple is to exchange space for time. Hell has thousands of years of accumulation, so it is inevitable that we will be at a disadvantage in a short period of time.
But as long as we are given more time and let the new generation grow up, we can turn defeat into victory.
Isn't it because the temple sent you, the dean of the Priest College, to rebuild the temple in the Eagle Kingdom?
Yes, Xu Lai is indeed the best candidate to fight Kerrigan as the commander-in-chief of the empire.
However, is this time right?
There are many troops in Lion Heart City, but will those grand dukes hand over the command of the troops to Xu Lai?
In the final analysis, Xu Lai is just a descendant hero who has nothing to do with the empire.
Let them leave their troops to outsiders to lead, let alone you, even His Majesty the Pope himself would not be able to do this.
It is impossible for the troops in Lion Heart City to be handed over to Xu Lai's command. Will the reinforcements coming from major cities and camps recognize Xu Lai?
I'm afraid that by then, except for some people in the temple, Xu Lai will not be able to command anyone.
Not to mention outsiders, even the temple's own people, how many people can trust Xu Lai.
Is it the few knights who withdrew from the Western Empire, or the first knights who stayed in Holy Angel City?
They also all have their own chosen legion commanders. Is it possible for you to go over and ask them to give way at this time? "
Duer asked several questions in a loud voice, leaving Wright almost speechless.
The reason why it was almost was because no matter what Duer said, even Wright himself admitted that Xu Lai would definitely be ostracized after going to Lion Heart City.
However, Wright identified Xu Lai and believed that only he could save Lionheart City and the Holy Angel City that had stood for thousands of years.
In fact, not only Wright, but Doerr also thinks so.
But so what, no matter how powerful the commander is, he cannot lead a divided army.
As the imperial capital, Lionheart City has a lot of troops, but those are nominally the armies of the Supreme King.
After the Parliament took power, almost all the armies in the imperial capital were dismembered and divided into different noble leaders.
They couldn't reach unity among themselves, and it was even more foolish to let Xu Lai, an outsider, lead them.
The Pope had already anticipated this situation, so he threw Duer, Pierce, and Lina into Qingfeng City.
The two advent heroes who grew up from the Western Empire are not low in level, and their equipment is not bad. No matter how bad it is, with the support of the temple, it is still no problem to replace them with a few artifacts.
Like the knights who came back from the Western Empire, after working with Xu Lai, Lina and the others were only willing to trust Xu Lai.
Rather than leaving them to fester in Holy Angel City, it would be better to send them out and leave a seed of hope for the temple.
The temple mobilizes more than one million believers, and more than one million young and strong believers, at least one in ten.
The influence of these believers in the future will be huge.
No matter what industry they are engaged in, they will become the vanguard and backbone members of this industry, thus affecting more people.
Believers are the most basic. With a huge group of believers and Wright, the dean of the pastoral college, it is only a matter of time before a sufficient number of pastors are trained.
As for what is missing, the city-like Cathedral of Holy Angels can actually be built at a small cost as long as you have money and land.
On the contrary, Qingfeng City also possesses something like the God of War statue, which is considered a sacred object to everyone in the temple.
This is unmatched by even the City of Holy Angels.
After having these conditions, even if the Holy Angel City of Lionheart City was destroyed, the Temple was not destroyed.
The Pope had anticipated this situation long before he used the God's Descent.
The damage he caused to Kerrigan and the Hell camp was too great.
And he himself also suffered extremely serious damage to his body due to the long-term use of God's Descent.
Such a good opportunity is really impossible to let go even if it means beating the opponent to death.
After more than half a year of rest, even if Hell has not completely recovered, it can't wait to seek revenge on the Temple. This is proof.
"Yes, you are right, but I just can't sit back and watch the destruction of the Holy Angel City.
Your Majesty, our temple has spared no effort in supporting you over the past year.
Isn't this level of support enough for you to take a risk and go to Lionheart City?
I can guarantee with my life that if things are impossible or Lionheart City is about to be destroyed, I and all the clergy of the temple will escort you out of the city at the risk of our lives."
"Bishop Wright, do you want to disobey the orders of His Holiness the Pope?
Have you forgotten why His Holiness asked us to come here?
Do you still want to go back at this time? Do you know that once you go back at this time, it is very likely that you will never get out again.
At that time, who will preach for His Holiness the God of War and who will train priests?"
Wright was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't know, don't ask me.
I also want to answer you, but I can't.
No matter what, I must go back. Sir Xu Lai, will you follow me?"
Xu Lai, who had been silent all the time, interrupted Dur and Yu Lan who were trying to continue to argue for Xu Lai, and said to Wright:
"I must admit that the temple has helped me a lot along the way.
But I must also tell you that I don't owe you or the temple.
Back then, High Priest Ryan only helped me resurrect some knights, gave me a chance to study at the military academy, and gave me a pair of precious knight gloves.
Then I took less than a hundred knights and ran to the wilderness to take risks regardless of the danger to my life.
I guess you are not interested in knowing that at that time I What kind of risks did a little hero of less than 100 people go through in the wilderness.
You probably don't want to know that I plunged into the Northern Empire at that time, and went through life and death with you in the Emerald City, even though I had nothing to do with you.
Use war shackles to trap Selron and have a life-and-death battle.
Yes, your temple has helped me a lot, but I don't think I have taken advantage of you.
When His Holiness the Pope first met me, he gave me an extremely precious gift.
So when Bishop Dur came to me and said he wanted to send the more than one million believers over, I agreed without saying a word.
In order to prevent so many people from being wronged, do you know how many times higher the price I have to pay to buy food that will not starve them to death?
In order to settle so many people, I The herdsmen on the grasslands were forced to move here and there, and they suffered so much injustice.
The Congress scroll is very precious, but I can still establish a country without a Congress, just like the four great empires in the east, west, south and north.
But without the food I spent a huge price to buy, how many people would starve to death or freeze to death?
Now, Bishop Wright, I can tell you very clearly that I don’t owe you anything.
Even if I owe you, it’s not your turn to ask for this favor.
I am willing to go because I cherish my friendship with you. Not going is what I should have done.
And I can answer you now that I will not go. I can’t agree to such a meaningless and risky thing.
What’s more, I am no longer living for myself, and the responsibilities I bear no longer support me to take risks. ”
After that, Xu Lai no longer gave Wright and Durr a chance to speak, and stood up and said:
“Send the guests away. "
Long ago, after taking over the Knights, Xu Lai had refused the Temple's funding.
He didn't want to be like Christine, owing the Temple a debt that could never be repaid and losing his independent personality.
This made his struggle much more difficult than Christine's, but it also allowed him to say these words today without guilt or pressure.
He naturally still had friendship with the archbishops and knights of the Temple.
But this friendship was really not enough to support him to take such a huge risk.
Once he couldn't come back, the newly established Eagle Kingdom would inevitably fall apart.
Leina owed him a huge favor, so she was willing to be loyal to him and It's not that Xu Lai imprisoned the other party.
As long as Xu Lai is gone, it is foreseeable that Lena will not sit idly by and watch the elves suffer from the destruction of the undead.
If Lena is not there, the huge Eagle Kingdom can't find a second person who can hold up the situation.
Su Ya is capable and loyal, but she is just a general, not a hero.
If Xu Lai was alone, there would be nothing to worry about.
However, he is no longer alone now. He is married and has a wife. Even after a while, he will have his own children.
At this time, Xu Lai really can't afford the cost of failure.
What's more, as Dur said, even if he goes to the imperial capital, he will not be recognized by others.
Xu Lai had never even seen those big nobles in person. Even if they gave him all their soldiers and generals, he didn't dare to really trust them.
If he could bring the entire Qingfeng Legion and Knight Wind into the Imperial Capital together, then he might still have some confidence.
However, although he can persuade others, he himself is always a little bit uneasy about his conscience.
No matter what, this time, it was Xu Lai who owed the temple a favor.
The believers sent by the temple are expensive to place, but these are young and strong, and they are the best source of labor and reserve troops.
In the future, they will be able to provide a large amount of tax revenue and food, but it will still be Xu Lai who takes advantage in the end.
Coupled with the parliamentary drawings and the obelisk map, Xu Lai was able to convince others, but he could never deceive himself.
After seeing off Wright and Duer, Yu Lan rushed over with a sad look on her face and said to Xu Lai:
"Lang Jun, are you really thinking about going to Lion Heart City?"
Yu Lan knew Xu Lai relatively well. Seeing him standing by the railing and looking at the river with a sad look on his face, she knew that he was definitely hiding something in his heart.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I am with you now. I live a life of a god every day. I have been very afraid of death for a long time."
Yu Lan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's best for Mr. Lang to be like this. If you continue to take risks like before, Elena may not be able to even raise a baby with peace of mind."
After a pause, Yu Lan said again: "I know Lang Jun, you feel uncomfortable. I think you are still thinking about the temple that helped Lang Jun.
Does Lang Jun want to do something? "
Xu Lai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yu Lan and said, "What did you guess again?"
Yu Lan stuck out her tongue, squeezed into Xu Lai's arms and said:
"After seeing off Wright and Duer, you quietly climbed up to the tower of the castle to blow the river breeze. Did you have any thoughts about the land south of Hanjiang River?"
Xu Lai looked into the distance. The smell of sulfur became stronger and stronger, and he saw more and more volcanoes.
Obviously, the land south of Hanjiang is gradually transforming into the lava terrain of hell.
Now and in the past, not only can we prevent the complete transformation of the terrain in time, but we can also take advantage of the empty time when Hell's troops are gathering to recapture more land and cities.
Moreover, the area around here is on the verge of hell's control, and there may be many people hiding in the countryside or in various hidden corners.
If he doesn't seize this opportunity, there may really be nothing left for Xu Lai by then.
The most important thing is that maybe if he launches an attack on Hell at this time, he may really be able to contain some of Hell's troops.
I don’t dare to say how much confidence I can gain for the temple, but I can always gain a little more hope.
“Originally I wanted to wait for Emilia and her mother to arrive, but now I can’t wait any longer.
I leave Hantan City to you, and the progress of all construction projects cannot be delayed at all.
In addition, a batch of resources will be mobilized from Qingfeng City. The cruisers must continue to be built and the shipyard cannot be stopped. "(End of chapter)
