The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

As the saying goes, when you are poor, you should use tactics to interweave, and when you are rich, you should use firepower to cover.

Xu Lai didn't know if he was rich or not, but he could loot a lot from every city he destroyed.

In a way, the demons were working for Xu Lai.

When they broke into human cities, the first thing they had to do was to burn, kill, humiliate and plunder.

And the large amount of resources looted would be spent on building cities, but they didn't have time to spend the bulk of it.

The bulk of their money had to be spent on completely transforming the terrain into hell terrain and transforming human cities into hell cities.

Then they could spend a lot of resources to build hell buildings in hell cities and recruit hell soldiers.

Only then could they build a large number of birth pools and lava baths outside the city to provide basic food like human farmers.

Xu Lai was in a hurry, so the large amount of resources that the hell demons had just snatched from the human nobles were basically still piled up in various warehouses.

These money and resources were not easy for demons to convert, but Xu Lai could transfer them directly to Qingfeng City through the warehouse ring.

That is, the demons hunted humans too hard, resulting in the entire Western Empire being left with nine out of ten houses and only one out of a hundred people.

Otherwise, Xu Lai would have the ability to digest these materials nearby.

Countless resources have gathered in Qingfeng City, and with Xu Lai's policy of encouraging trade, it is also the capital of the Eagle Kingdom.

Now, everyone in the world who has a little information channel knows that the Eagle Kingdom should be the safest in the world.

There is a statue of the God of War, and it is a city blessed by the God of War.

Nobles and merchants rushed into the cities of the Eagle Kingdom, among which Qingfeng City was undoubtedly the largest.

Their arrival also brought a large number of craftsmen, various craftsmen such as blacksmiths and carpenters, as well as scholars, priests, mages and other talented people.

When Xu Lai had a need, Su Ya was always able to satisfy him.

The catapults built during the day were not enough, so the whole city lit up magic lamps and asked the bishops to release large-scale light magic to illuminate the entire city.

Therefore, the demons could only watch in despair as the catapults on the opposite side became more and more.

The fire demon towers, turrets, arrow towers and the like that were spared during the day were cleared one by one at night.

Not only the city walls and arrow towers, but even the demon army gathered at the city gates could not escape the fate of being covered by firepower.

Although the hit rate of the catapults was not ideal due to the long distance and the dark sky.

But there were too many catapults. By the time the sky was dawning, there were nearly 200 catapults.

Moreover, none of these more than 200 catapults was the kind of low-level goods with a launch distance of less than one kilometer.

In addition to the large number of catapults, there were also a large number of demon troops, and most of them were concentrated together.

Being smashed by so many catapults for a whole night, and harassed by the bone dragon troops, the demons can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

However, this is not the end.

The demons thought that after holding out until the day, they would attack without the city walls and arrow towers.

But unexpectedly, Xu Lai still had no intention of launching a general attack.

Moreover, because the sky was bright, the hit rate of the catapult increased significantly.

Before, the purpose was to smash the city wall, so the solid stone bullets had the highest damage, but now Xu Lai's goal was to kill those demons at a super long distance.

Therefore, after the hit rate increased during the day, Xu Lai decisively took out all the magic ammunition he had collected.

In fact, even the explosive incendiary bombs can cause a lot of damage to demons. After all, not all demons are immune to fire damage.

Others such as ground spike bombs, ice cone bombs, etc. are all high-level ammunition that can kill a large area.

Of course, this kind of high-level ammunition is not cheap, and even Xu Lai can't afford it.

Waiting until daytime to use it is also a compromise with reality.

Give him another half a year, he can use this high-level spell ammunition to directly flatten an entire city.

The pleasure of firepower coverage is probably only understood by those who use this tactic.

Anyway, as the bombed party, the demons are so angry that their livers hurt.

If Patton had not closed the gate of the abyss early, the demons would have deserted at this moment.

Unless recruiting troops, morale will be strictly followed.

Normal people, even if the battle is going well, may take the opportunity to escape when picking up heads.

It is only because the nobles never pay for conscription and fighting.

So they usually need high-level leadership skills, otherwise they can't even maintain the morale of the troops.

The demons have no way out. Although they can't escape, they can still collapse.

Seeing that humans seem to have no intention of launching a general attack, Patton finally couldn't help it.

Looking at the movement of the demons, Xu Lai excitedly gave orders to the Qingfeng Corps and the Cavalry Corps.

If the demons don't come out, his cavalry can't play their advantages.

If you fight a street battle with the demons, not only do you not know how long it will last, but the key is that the casualties will increase a lot.

There are buildings and houses everywhere, which makes it easy to divide the infantry into countless separate individuals and teams.

Neither the long-range assistance of the shooter nor the treatment of the priest can be obtained.

Of course, Xu Lai could also choose to flatten the buildings as well, but that would take too long.

And the city obtained in that way would not have any recycling value.

Last night, the Qingfeng Corps and the Cavalry Corps, except for the crossbowmen, had a full night of rest.

At this time, they were all full of energy, full of physical strength, and high morale, just waiting to fight the demons.

Unexpectedly, before they were ready, they saw the demons retreating like a tide.

It turned out that the intolerable Flame Demon Barton did not choose to go out of the city to fight Xu Lai, but directly gave up the city gates, city walls, and even the moat, and retreated directly to the inner city.

Xu Lai was so angry that he laughed, but he had no choice.

If he continued to smash, he would not be able to get any results except smashing open spaces and houses, so he could only wave his hand.

This time, the warriors of the Xiandeng Camp were still the ones who charged in the front.

But unlike before, the Xiandeng Camp, which was temporarily incorporated into the Qingfeng Corps, now had the special defense blessing of Reina.

The soldiers of the Xiandeng Camp, who had no defense special blessing, were able to defeat the 8th-level big demon with the blessing of a high-level demon general.

At this time, with the blessing of a defense special blessing, plus the god-level offensive technique, each of them was like a little superman.

Before the strong attack, Xu Lai still released a fire control magic to everyone, and at the same time raised the prophet's sword and released the power of ultimate prayer.

With various blessings and halos, the soldiers of the Xiandeng Camp, carrying large wooden boards, rushed across the lava river first.

The arrow tower and the city wall collapsed, and the city gate drawbridge was unattended, but Xu Lai still couldn't put all the infantry forces into it at once.

One is to fear that they will fall into the evil plan of the demons, and the demons such as ambushes will jump out to make trouble.

The other is to let the strongest Xiandeng Camp try the water of street fighting first.

The entire Xiandeng Camp may not be as good as the top infantry of the Qingfeng Legion.

But they all recruited soldiers. Their advantage is that everyone is a professional, and almost everyone has mastered several skills.

No matter what ambushes the demons had, once the vanguards of the vanguard camp crossed the lava river, the outer city had already been completely taken by Xu Lai.

Next, there was a more intense and bloody street battle.

The two siege towers finally started slowly.

Xu Lai and Giselle led thousands of phantom archers to climb a siege tower each.

The city walls were smashed down by Xu Lai, and his own archers had no place to stand.

The only two siege towers were naturally given to the phantom archers with the longest range and the strongest output ability.

The siege towers over 30 meters high allowed the phantom archers to take care of the vanguards in almost any corner.

Xu Lai could also roughly see the situation with the help of the high platform.

The number of demons far exceeded that of humans, almost a ratio of ten to one.

However, on the battlefields in various corners, what was left behind were often the corpses of demons.

Not to mention the demons killed by magic ammunition near the city gate, the demons in other corners were basically at a disadvantage.

Although the vanguards were no match for four hands, even if the demons surrounded the vanguards tightly, they could not break through the defense no matter how they attacked. What was the use of having more of them?

And the vanguards made a random counterattack. With the blessing of the god-level offensive technique, the demons below the high level were killed instantly, and the demons above the high level were also seriously injured.

However, the ants are more likely to bite the elephant. After all, the demons also have the ultimate offensive technique, so they are not really invincible.

After being scattered to various corners, no one saw the flags of officers at all levels.

The officers needed to shout at the top of their lungs to pass on the order.

Eric flew to the sky, but attracted countless winged demons and fire elves.

The winged demons were okay, and the black dragon could kill a large number of them with a breath.

The fire elves, on the other hand, can only be cleared one by one with spears and dragon claws.

The dragon spear is long and powerful, but it is still not light even after being enchanted.

With the strength and physique of Eric's ninth-level dragon knight, with the blessing of the statue of the god of war, he could only fight for one or two hours at most.

Of course, he had already put down his dragon spear and was fighting with a knight's sword.

But the dense fire elves had already blocked all his sight.

The battle had already begun, and even the Seraph Legion could not leave, and had to protect both sides of the siege tower.

Even so, there were still a steady stream of winged demons and fire elves flying over, trying to kill the archers on the siege tower.

The two siege towers were originally used to help the first climbers in the city, but now they can only save themselves.

Once the rain of arrows stopped, demons would immediately come in.

Even Xu Lai, who originally wanted to come up to observe the situation, had to pick up the prophet's sword to protect Giselle from the harassment of the demons.

The thousands of royal griffins led by Reina did not move, and there were not many of them.

And after the fire control magic was dispelled, close combat with the fire elves would be rebounded by the fire shield.

Soon, the phantom archers on the siege tower had used up all their arrows and needed to be replenished.

On the ground, the archer masters and sky archers had already occupied various rooftops and began to occupy advantageous terrain to support the infantry.

The regular army of the Qingfeng Legion rushed to the main road of Briston, where the terrain was slightly wider and could accommodate more troops of the Qingfeng Legion.

The royal guards had their shields in front, and the golden-armored warriors held their halberds high and placed them on the guards' shields.

The demons along the way, whether they are the Horned Warlord or the Evil God King, are unable to resist the powerful damage caused by the tactical formation.

Some lava trolls in the inner city were finally able to use their vantage point to launch long-range attacks on humans.

But under the healing skills of priests and priests, the human phalanx still moved forward indomitably.

In the rest of the streets, the number of people who arrived first would definitely not be able to clear out the unknown number of demons.

Emilia brought the Naga Guards and joined in time.

The Nagas, like the Xianden camp, were all organized under Rena's command.

The defensive specialties and god-level offensive skills make these multi-armed Nagas like gods descending to earth.

The soldiers who enter the camp first will be restrained by a large number of demons.

But Naga won't. Naga alone is equivalent to a team.

Especially the Naga Sword Master, a terrifying existence like the eight-armed Naga, whose eight arms can clear out all nearby demons with just a random dance of their eight arms.

The human coalition was victorious one after another, and Ruhong's morale never dropped.

On the other hand, the devil's side, even though they had the numerical advantage, retreated all the way, and their morale dropped like water, which quickly triggered the negative effect of morale.

It was at this time that Xu Lai ordered the troops on the other three sides to open an escape channel.

The devil, who was originally fighting with his last resort, had no way out, so he was still fighting tenaciously even though his morale had dropped to rock bottom.

As soon as the three walls of the city were opened, countless demons poured out of the city like a tide.

Xu Lai actually wanted to surround and annihilate this demon.

But he really couldn't do it. The other three walls were only surrounded by some cavalry, with only about 5,000 cavalry on each side.

There weren't many demons escaping, so they could still block the gap, but if they escaped in droves, they wouldn't be able to block it in time.

Since it can't be blocked, but it makes the devil want to fight to the death, why not just make way for the passage.

In any case, it would be easier for Xu Lai to lead the cavalry troops to chase down the demons who had fled and had no intention of fighting.

But ordinary demons can escape, but Barton, Mendis and the others are unable to retreat or escape.

As the strongest combat force on the devil's side, they did not dare to show their faces at this time, and they all hid in the inner city.

But Xu Lai had no interest in attacking the inner city. Instead, he climbed down from the siege tower himself and led the Holy Light Knights to attack the big demons defending the Gate of the Abyss.

Today's big demon's combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the previous two days. The blessings of ultimate offensive and ultimate defensive techniques are not in vain.

However, the level of the Holy Light Knight is no less than them, and they are also blessed by the Angel Alliance and the God of War Statue.

On the other hand, the morale of the demons has almost dropped to zero, and all the big demons are burdened with at least a 10% attack and defense weakening.

With the increase and decrease, the hundreds of demons and thousands of lava trolls stationed here only lasted for more than an hour.

More than an hour later, it had not yet gotten dark.

The most important building in the hell camp, the Gate of the Abyss, had been completely destroyed by Xu Lai. (End of chapter)
