The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Leina led the main force of the Qingfeng Corps. Even if there were some infantry transferred from the Knights of Wind, the average level was above 5.6.

There was no way. The Qingfeng Corps had experienced many large-scale group battles such as Count Aini, Dungeon, and Orc Army, and they all won.

Although a large number of new recruits were added later, they were all transferred out after simple training, and even the organization within the group was not affected much.

For the Qingfeng Corps' two great achievements, Xu Lai specially rewarded them with a dragon meat feast, and their qualifications were extremely high.

For ordinary people, if their qualifications are not good, the 5th level is basically the top.

This is why the main soldiers of many large legions are all at the 5th level.

But the Qingfeng Corps did not have this concern. As long as they had enough experience, they could at least be promoted to the 6th level, and most of them could be promoted to around the 7th level.

After the reorganization, the Qingfeng Corps became a large-scale legion dominated by infantry.

However, Xu Lai left Yan Feng to Leina. Yan Feng was originally a 7th-level hero and could no longer be promoted.

Now that he has been promoted to a general, the experience points he had previously accumulated have also found a place to use, and he has been directly transferred to a senior general.

The ranger troops are relatively comprehensive, running fast, with strong long-range capabilities, and the ability to charge like cavalry.

Except for the weak armor and a little less ammunition reserves, there is no problem in protecting the army from being harassed by fast troops.

The herdsmen on the grassland basically have long-range weapon skills, and their levels are generally not low.

Therefore, it is easier for the Qingfeng Corps to train rangers. Yan Feng has 1,000 heroes, 5,000 rangers and 3,000 mercenaries.

Nearly 10,000 horse archers with a minimum of level 5 can directly blow up the mobile forces that far exceed their own number even if they do not contact the enemy.

In addition, Rena can also take advantage of the water advantage and use transport ships to help transport siege weapons and supplies.

If the battle site is not far from the Hanjiang River, Rena can also enjoy artillery support on the river.

Compared with the long-range missiles and long-range artillery in the technological world, even the farthest magic cannon is much inferior.

However, the cruiser's magic cannons can definitely help Reina attack the city.

At least when Reina encounters any difficulties, these magic cannons can help cover the retreat.

In terms of military strength, even if Yan Feng's archers are not counted, the pure infantry, spearmen, crossbowmen, and archers are more than 100,000.

Except for the Royal Griffins, which have less than 3,000 flying units and seem slightly weak, Reina's Qingfeng Legion has basically no weaknesses.

Besides, Reina has a specialty in defense. Even if she really can't beat the enemy, at least there will not be a big loss.

Therefore, Xu Lai has nothing to worry about Reina's attack on Burke.

On the contrary, his target of attack is the Marquis of Casse, which is 5 times larger than the Brilliant Territory.

According to the information provided by Eric and others, Xu Lai knows that the female devil Ferris of Hell is in charge of this Marquisate.

Unlike the more ordinary demon heroes like Matthias, Ferris is still a little famous in Hell.

This female devil is a hell hero who has a specialty and is good at controlling and making crossbows.

She not only has many advanced crossbows in her hands, but the crossbows also have a range and power far beyond that of ordinary crossbows.

The phantom archer is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he is still human. Since the opponent is good at controlling crossbows, ballistics must be one of the required specialties.

Ballistics plus archery, with the help of city walls, even the phantom archer is difficult to resist.

Xu Lai's main force is still a group of cavalry, and there is no long-range artillery support, the difficulty of siege is simply skyrocketing.

Unless Ferris is stupid enough to fight Xu Lai in the wild like Matthias, that would really be a way to his own death.

However, with Matthias's previous experience, Xu Lai failed to completely wipe out the demons of the Brilliant Territory, Ferris should have had relevant information about Xu Lai a long time ago.

Xu Lai judged that Ferris would not fight him in the wild, so what he mainly needed to deal with was the siege.

Therefore, he kept Eric and Emilia's team with him.

Not only that, he also deliberately brought 500 phantom archers from the Coast Guard and the phantom archers from the Qingfeng Legion.

Including the phantom archers that Giselle had just trained for him in the past two weeks, there were about 2,000 phantom archers.

But even so, if he attacked the city, he still had little chance of success.

The good news is that the nearby territories have not yet been completely transformed by hell, and most of the cities are still imperial cities.

In this way, Xu Lai at least does not have to deal with the lava river in hell.

Because the Marquis of Casse has a vast territory, Ferris still has two subordinates.

One is a descending hero from hell, not of high level, but it is said that he is a talented pagan.

The other one is still a little famous among humans, especially in the Western Empire, where most people know that he is a defected human hero.

After entering the Marquisate, Xu Lai did not head to the Pafx Plain immediately.

The castle of the Marquis of Casse, whose entire family was wiped out, is right in the center of the plain, and Ferris is now stationed in this castle.

If possible, Xu Lai still wants to lure the demons out for a field battle.

The reason why he personally led the team here was because he saw the plain terrain here.

On the plain, his knights can spread out very wide, and with a wave of charge, even the demon army of Selron will fall.

For this reason, he did not capture the thief and the leader directly as he did in the Brilliant Territory.

Although it is very easy to deal with the others as a piece of scattered sand after beating the leader, it is undoubtedly the most difficult to kill the leader.

Therefore, Xu Lai intends to clip his wings first, weaken Ferris's power first, and strengthen himself by the way.

Either Ferris will watch his cities being conquered by Xu Lai one after another.

The demons assigned to these cities will be killed one after another by Xu Lai.

Or Ferris can only lead the troops, or let others lead the troops to support.

This is exactly what Xu Lai wants. He can surround and attack the reinforcements as much as he wants and eat up the troops sent by Ferris.

If Ferris is unmoved, it doesn't matter.

At least more humans can be rescued and more demons can be killed by conquering the surrounding cities.

The troops he led are not of high level, and it is just right to take this opportunity to annex more rebels and upgrade to a higher level.

On the other hand, if there is no other support, the food and supplies in Ferris will only become less and less, and the morale will only become lower and lower.

The rise and fall of one side and the fall of the other will undoubtedly give Xu Lai more confidence and assurance.

The first small town Xu Lai went to was less than ten kilometers away from the border of the Brilliant Territory.

Jian Yuan led a team of cavalry and set out early to explore the way. As a result, he soon sent someone to report that the demons had already abandoned the towns along the way.

Now, these villages and towns have been taken back by the rebels in the Marquis Territory.

Unlike the Brilliant Territory, which is close to the cold river and hills, Ferris has more troops and less cover in the plains.

There are only two or three relatively active rebels in the entire Marquis Territory.

However, although there are more rebels in the Brilliant Territory, they are not large in scale and are of mixed quality.

There are dragon knights like Eric, and there are also original villagers who become part-time bandits after the whole village fled.

Although there are only two or three active rebels in the Marquis Territory of Casse, they are still a little famous.

Especially after Xu Lai liberated the Brilliant Territory, Ferris decided to abandon all the towns and resource points outside and try to shrink the troops.

The two rebel forces reacted immediately and seized the nearby villages and towns as their bases before Xu Lai sent out his troops.

"Your Majesty, when I was in Brilliant Territory, I also had contact with the rebels in Kasai Territory.

Why don't I go and talk to their leader first?"

Xu Lai nodded and said, "It's better to go and talk first. Your Xiandeng Battalion now has only 1,500 people and still needs to be expanded.

You should take the Xiandeng Battalion with you, and it's best to recruit all the rebels nearby.

You know that the treatment I give to the Xiandeng Battalion is exactly the same as that of my two main legions.

If they are willing to come, the treatment is the same, and the officers can all be promised to go out without exceeding the number of existing officers.

If the negotiation fails, I can give them half a day to pack up and leave.

In short, I want to keep the nearby towns as bridgeheads, and I can't leave them to them."

Eric bowed, thought about it, blew the dragon whistle hanging on his neck, summoned his black dragon, and then led the Xiandeng Battalion to the nearest town.

The town has no walls, even if these rebels don't leave, Tahan can crush them all with a charge.

It's just that the population is precious now, Xu Lai is willing to give them time to think it over, and even if the negotiations fail, he doesn't want to hurt them.

Without the city wall, piling up supplies is dangerous.

So the bridgehead Xu Lai is looking at is still a fortress-level city on the edge of Pafikes.

The news sent back by Jian Yuan said that a small number of traces of demon activities were found on the city wall.

Ferris has reduced his troops, but there are many humans imprisoned in each city.

Ferris doesn't want to release these humans, and doesn't want to hand over the city to humans for nothing.

Therefore, she left a small number of demons in these cities.

First, these demons can still play a role with the help of city defense facilities.

At least those rebels dared to rob villages and towns, but did not launch an offensive against the fortress.

Second, they also wanted to wait for the human army to arrive, so that these demons would kill all the remaining humans imprisoned in the city.

Jian Yuan only brought a small number of scout knights, and the number of demons was small, and they knew that they were abandoned, so they patrolled carelessly.

Fortunately, these demons were passive and did not find Jian Yuan and his men.

Otherwise, when the regular knights of humans appeared, these demons would have to execute orders.

Ferris did not leave them any food, so they could only eat those humans every day.

Ferris gave a death order, and they were not allowed to leave under any circumstances, so if they killed all the humans in advance, they would starve to death.

Xu Lai did not know there was such an order, but it didn't matter.

After he received the news from Jian Yuan and knew that there were not many demons in the city, he simply let Elvy take the archangels to set off.

The Seraphim could no longer be upgraded, so there was no need to bring them over to share the experience.

A fortress-level city with a small number of demons was not worth the army to set up.

The Knight's Wind and the Qingfeng Legion still maintained their marching posture, but they directly skipped those villages and towns along the way.

Even the fortress city, Xu Lai directly skipped it, allowing Elvy to lead the archangels to liberate the residents in the city.

A mere fortress city cannot hold Xu Lai's army of more than 100,000.

They have to go straight to the next city without wasting any time.

Every extra day of delay means one more day for the hell-transformation to enter the city, and the risk is higher.

He didn't know that hell had sent reinforcements at this time. If he knew, he might not be in a hurry and would wait for Lena to lead the team to join.

Beyond the fortress city is a base camp-level city.

According to the construction blueprint of the base camp-level city, it is qualified to build a moat.

But because it is a plain city and there is no threat nearby, no moat was dug specifically.

When Xu Lai's army approached, it was already evening.

There was no way. Although Xu Lai had the ultimate logistics skills and the talent of speed, he brought a large number of infantry.

This did not count the logistics and supplies. With the warehouse ring, Avid and others did not need to raise them for the time being.

However, catapults and trebuchets are necessary.

It's just that these things have not been shipped yet. They will be shipped here after Xu Lai has occupied several cities in Kasai Territory.

They were reluctant to give up the fortress city of Ferris, let alone this base camp.

But it is obvious that there are not many demons in this relatively large city.

Elvy and Eric's first landing camps are not there, and even if they are, Xu Lai doesn't need them.

With a big wave of his hand, Giselle came forward with the phantom shooter and suppressed the demons on the city wall with a super long range.

There were not many demons on the city wall, only about two or three hundred, and they were almost shot to death.

The remaining demons quickly fled from the city wall, and no new demons wanted to climb the city. They actually gave up the city wall directly.

The flag was waved again, and accompanied by the drums of attack, Brandy personally carried a seven or eight meter long ladder and rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

After winning battles one after another, the already high morale of the infantry, without any hesitation, all followed Brandi and rushed to the city wall.

The blazing special smoke began to float from the city and rushed straight to the clouds.

On the corner tower of the Castle of Casse, the demon in charge of observation hurried to report.

Mondis, who was talking to Ferris, heard the news and stood up suddenly, grinning:

"Ferris, our guests are here, have you thought about it?"

The female devil raised her scarlet eyes and said: "I have mobilized a lot of soldiers from various cities.

I can hand over all these soldiers to you, but the soldiers in Kasai City cannot move any of them.

Anyway, you have the Gate of Hell in your hand. As long as there are enough cannon fodder to buy you time, you will have a constant supply of soldiers, and my past will not be of any help to you.

On the contrary, humans are cunning. If they make a feint to the east and attack the west, occupy Kasai City, and destroy the altar, you and I will find it difficult to explain to His Majesty Kerrigan."

Mondis panted, and from time to time, bursts of smoke that could not be fully burned came out of his nostrils.

"Whatever you want, you don't want the credit for nothing, hum."

Although Kerrigan gave him the command, Mondis also understood that the transformation of hell was equally important, and the altar could not be lost.

With their current financial and human resources, it would take a lot of effort to build another altar.

If they don't transform the terrain of hell, these demons won't be able to get supplies, let alone rule. (End of this chapter)
