The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"I'm sorry, my majesty, I failed to complete the task you assigned to me.

I met the leader of this rebel army. It turns out that he is a branch of the Casse family. After the main family's bloodline was cut off, he automatically inherited the noble status."

Xu Lai frowned and said:

"So what? The Casse family only has the title of Marquis. Now they have none of the territory, soldiers and castles."

Eric smiled bitterly and said: "Who said it wasn't? Although he relied on the title of Marquis of Casse to raise a team of several thousand people.

But the villages and towns he occupies now were taken by the east of the Eagle Kingdom."

Xu Lai rubbed his eyebrows and said with some annoyance:

"I asked you to take the vanguard camp over. Are you sure you can take these villages and towns?

If not, Elvy should be back later, and I'll ask her to support you."

With a team of archangels to help, even if the other party has the status of a noble, or even a hero, Eric is still sure to take it.

But Eric doesn't want to do this.

He actually had no great interest in high positions and generous salaries, otherwise he would not have become a dragon knight and not pledged allegiance to any lord.

He advocated adventure and did not like to be constrained.

But when his hometown was invaded by demons, he chose to stay here without hesitation and fight the demons to the end.

Xu Lai's Eagle Kingdom had nothing to do with him, but he joined the Eagle without saying a word because Xu Lai was going to fight demons.

Marquis Casse and his rebels were blocking the key transportation line of the army.

If he were Xu Lai, he would feel like a thorn in his throat.

However, Marquis Casse was unwilling to accept the incorporation because Xu Lai was unwilling to agree to give him a position of marquis.

This was inevitable, even Jimmy, the first to surrender to Xu Lai, was now just a mere earl.

How could Marquis Casse, who had no fiefdom and whose title was picked up for nothing, get the title of marquis in a new kingdom?

Eric despised Spin Casse's greed, but he was not willing to fight him.

There was no other reason, just because Spin Casse and his rebels were already the few humans in the entire Western Empire.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Spin Casse's personal opinion cannot represent the opinions of the entire rebels.

In fact, before I left, many rebel officers asked me about the Eagle Kingdom.

I can feel that they want to join the Eagle Kingdom.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that not only the Empire, but even the Western Empire is completely finished.

If it weren't for your Majesty, these scattered soldiers would have been hunted down and killed by the demons.

The demons just didn't have time to spare at this time.

Your Majesty, please look at the countless For the sake of the many Western Empire people, give them some more time.

I can assure you that when they see our army's determination to resist the demons and their ability to defeat the demons, they will definitely submit to you. "

Looking at Eric who was kneeling on one knee, Xu Lai chuckled and said:

"Sir Eric, you are trying to stop me.

I do want to fight the demons to the end, but I can't guarantee the final result.

Maybe after a certain amount of casualties, I will choose to coexist peacefully with the demons and accumulate strength.

I am the king of the Eagle Kingdom, and I do All the choices made can only be based on the interests of the Eagle Kingdom.

I hope the knight can also understand that you are not a Western Empire person now, but a person of the Eagle Kingdom. "

Eric's eyes dimmed, and he nodded: "I understand, Your Majesty."

Xu Lai nodded and said: "Okay, for your sake, I will give them a little more time.

In fact, as long as they are willing to join the Eagle Kingdom and accept my transformation, what's wrong with giving them all these villages and towns.

Brilliant Territory, Burke Territory, and Kasai Territory, as long as the demons in these territories are driven away, there will be as many lands and villages as you want.

But forget it, they gave up a good opportunity themselves, and even if they join later, I will not pay attention to them anymore. "

Looking at Eric, Xu Lai said again: "But, my knight, seeing that you and everyone are human, I can give them a chance.

What if they are greedy and harass or even rob the transport team?

You also know that the troops I have now are not sufficient, and I really can't spare more manpower to protect the transport team. "

Xu Lai must talk about a very realistic problem.

Eric also realized that this was a problem that had to be faced.

After a moment of silence, Eric said in a deep voice: "The transportation of materials in the rear is to ensure victory on the front line.

If they want to take these materials, they will only care about the present and ignore the countless compatriots in the entire Kasai County.

If such a thing happens, I will personally take off Spin Kasai's head and deal with his rebels."

Xu Lai nodded and said: "Just kill the main culprit and his accomplices, and you can deal with the rest."

Eric breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hands and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

Xu Lai had just finished talking with Eric when Elvy flew back to the camp with the Archangel.

Xu Lai quickly greeted him and said: "Thank you for your hard work. How is the fortress now?"

Elvy said: "I rescued all the people in the fortress, and there are probably still a few thousand people.

I left them the flag of the Eagle Kingdom, and Arvid will send people from behind to assist.

None of these things are important, Xu Lai, when I flew from the sky just now, I faintly saw a strong red light and the aura of the abyss in the distance.

I want to take the Seraphs there first to have a look. "

Xu Lai frowned again and said, "You feel the breath of the abyss correctly, right?

When I met Archbishop Duer a few days ago, he told me that Lionheart City was already at war with Kerrigan.

Could it be other demons, such as Ferris? "

Elvi shook her head and said: "Although Ferris is a powerful hero of hell, she is not qualified to touch the abyss.

We angels are very sensitive to the breath of evil. There is a difference between the evil breath of hell and the chaotic evil breath of the abyss. "

Xu Lai said: "Jian Yuan has taken people to the front for reconnaissance. Let's wait for him to come back later.

You have just led the team and been busy for so long, so you should take a rest first.

It's best if the devil is willing to come out and fight in the field. You should take advantage of this moment and seize the time to recover your strength. "

“No, Jian Yuan cannot fly, and his speed is not fast.

Moreover, if it is really an abyss demon, I am worried that Jian Yuan and the others will be in danger.

I'll go take a look. No matter if there is any problem, I will come back and rest immediately. I will never fight privately. "

This is what Xu Lai is afraid of. Elvi is usually taciturn, but she is a complete militant.

But now that she has talked to this extent, if Xu Lai refuses again, it will be too disrespectful.

"Okay, okay, go and come back quickly, remember what you just promised me."

"Your Majesty, I have seen Ferris, why don't you let me accompany the archangel?"

Ferris is Mathias's superior demon who once visited the Brilliant Territory to inspect.

Not only had Eric met him, but he had also fought against him. Unfortunately, although his personal combat power was not comparable to that of the devil, the gap between the others was too big.

Xu Lai nodded and said, "That's fine. Sir Eric can help me supervise my archangel."

After they flew away, Xu Lai didn't feel relieved, so he took Roland and the others and rushed to the base camp.

Even a base camp-level city cannot accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops, let alone tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, Xu Lai set up camp outside and gave the city to Emilia, Giselle, Yu Lan, and Anna.

The city wall of the base camp is already high enough, not to mention that there must be an arrow tower near the city wall, and the visual field bonus is definitely not small.

Although Elvi is a militant, to be honest, except for some special circumstances, Elvi is one of the most obedient ones.

She and Anna, the two clergymen, would satisfy no matter how excessive Xu Lai's demands were or what kind of posture he put in.

Although the others were also obedient, they still had to be coaxed.

Every time Elvi persisted, it was the time when Xu Lai ignored his own safety.

Xu Lai had just arrived at the city wall and happened to see Yu Lan and others watching on the city wall.

After hearing that an abyss demon was approaching, Yu Lan told Xu Lai not to worry and let Giselle, whose eyesight was many times better than Xu Lai's, go take a look first.

After a while, Giselle came down from the arrow tower and said:

"I did see the red clouds in the distance, but the distance was too far and I couldn't see clearly."

Even Giselle couldn't see clearly, and obviously Xu Lai couldn't see more if he climbed up.

Fortunately, less than half an hour passed and before it got completely dark, Jian Yuan came back on a fast horse.

Jian Yuan's report confirmed Elvi's guess.

"I met the archangel halfway, and she didn't allow me to get closer and asked me to come back and report first.

They were a group of very tall demons that we had never seen before, and there were quite a lot of them.

I'm not close enough to give a detailed number, but a conservative estimate would put it in the thousands.

According to the archangel, these guys should be called abyss lords.

They can fly, but neither high nor fast. They are accompanied by some winged demons and fire elves.

I didn't detect any traces of demons on the ground. I guess I either couldn't keep up with these flying demons, or the enemy didn't send out ground troops. "

Without ground troops, Xu Lai would have a headache. No matter how powerful his knight's charge was, it wouldn't necessarily reach the sky.

No wonder Elvi was so insistent before. The very tall abyss lords alone were conservatively estimated to be in the thousands.

Coupled with this are the flying units known for their numbers and the most powerful against melee combat, the Fire Elves.

Xu Lai left the gryphon troops to Reina, which meant that there were only those angels above his head.

No matter how strong the angel's combat power is, with their numbers here, they will definitely suffer a loss if they compete head-on with the enemy for their flying power.

Fortunately, flying units are not invincible. If they want to attack the enemy, they must land.

At the same time, if their flying height is not high enough, they will also be hit by their own long-range forces.

Jian Yuan just said that although those big guys can fly, they don't fly high or fast.

“In this way, it will get dark soon, and none of us know whether the devil will attack us at night.

The entire army was ordered to be divided into two squads, with one squad resting at midnight and the other squad resting at midnight.

After dinner, let the soldiers take some time to rest.

The civilians rescued from the city were all gathered together first to distribute rice and grain to them. "

There were no entertainment activities at night. After a long journey during the day, the siege battle ended not long ago, so I fell asleep as soon as I rested.

Go to bed at 7 o'clock, and you will have a total of 12 hours until 7 o'clock the next day. If you divide it into two shifts, each shift can get 6 hours of sleep.

Of course, the time is definitely not enough for 6 hours, but it is not a big deal to overcome it a little.

Xu Lai was afraid that the demons would take advantage of the darkness to attack them, which would have a great impact on his long-range troops.

The average level of the shooters of the Qingfeng Legion is still a little over level 4.

Only level 5 marksmen can say that their hit rate is not bad, but at night it is not half as good as during the day.

For long archers, the impact will only be greater, while ordinary level 3 archers are basically just filling up.

After the order is issued, the soldiers in the city should eat and rest.

Xu Lai returned to his knight camp outside the city, but after returning to the camp, he specifically ordered the troops to move closer to the base camp.

Even in the end, they simply used the wall of the base camp facing the rear of the devil as the boundary and set up camp next to the wall.

The cavalry archer was thrown to Reina by Xu Lai. The flying units facing them had no ability to actively attack.

Simply, use the city wall and the shooters on the wall to protect your knights.

Not long after the camp was moved, Elvi finally came back.

Elvi set out before it was completely dark, and with her speed, she didn't come back until the camp had been moved.

Obviously, their investigation was not easy, and they must have encountered trouble on the way.

Sure enough, after returning to the camp, Elvi brought back a gift for Xu Lai, a huge demon head.

Xu Lai sighed helplessly, but before he could speak, Elvi said first:

"This is not what I want to kill. Those guys are bullying us too much and have been chasing us. If you don't believe me, ask Eric."

Ericna also had a lot of trophies, but what he had were all Winged Demons, mainly to be taken back to feed his black dragon.

Eric said with a sneer: "Your Majesty the King, I really don't blame the Archangel for this.

When those demons saw the archangel, they all went crazy and chased us crazily.

The archangel didn't want to bring all these demons to the camp, so he had a fight with them halfway.

Don't worry, we didn't suffer any loss in this battle. Although they have many people, they are no match for Seraph. "

"Ahem, in terms of ability to fight alone, those abyss lords can't even defeat the archangels.

However, their attribute bonuses are also very powerful.

With the Angel Alliance and god-level offensive skills at our disposal, we only killed more than a hundred, and also damaged 5 Seraphs and 3 Archangels.

Don't worry, they have all been resurrected. Those abyss lords and winged demons were all in vain. "

Seeing that Xu Lai wanted to ask, Elvi quickly explained first.

But then she added: "But as far as I know, what the Abyss Lord is best at is actually summoning.

Remember those hellfires? They are the strongest summons of the Abyss Lord. "(End of chapter)
