The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai wanted to test Kerrigan's strength himself, but unfortunately, none of his generals agreed.

So Xu Lai had to try to see the battlefield in Gray Castle.

The Knights of Wind led by Tahan were all knights with strong mobility.

But there was one bad thing, that is, these knights were all melee.

If you want to engage the enemy, you can only charge and get close.

However, after charging and getting close, it is not easy to leave, and you cannot start the charge without enough distance.

Moreover, during the charge phase, Tahan and his men still need to bear the attack of the opponent's long-range troops in vain.

Therefore, Lena temporarily assigned Yan Feng and the archers he led to Tahan.

These two people can be regarded as old partners, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly.

Yan Feng went forward and led the archers to attract the enemy. After leading the enemy to the right position, he was handed over to Tahan to deal with it.

Tahan's forbidden spell takes more than ten minutes to cast, but Tahan does not intend to cast it.

On the one hand, it is difficult to choose the timing of casting a spell. If it is too fast, it is easy to hurt your own people. If it is too slow, the enemy is not stupid and will go into the forbidden spell.

On the other hand, even if the enemy is trapped, he has chosen the largest attack range.

But after all, the legs are on other people's bodies. As long as they are not stupid enough to stay in the forbidden spell range, most of them can still escape.

For a test with immeasurable results, he directly used the forbidden spell that can only be released once a month, and at the same time he had to bear the punishment of not being able to release air spells for a month.

When Tahan went back this time, he also visited several magic guilds and supplemented some other spells.

But except for the air system, he did not have any other magic expertise, and his spirit value was not particularly high.

Abolishing his air system spells is equivalent to banning most of his spellcasting ability.

It is not a particularly good time, for example, most of the enemy's troops are within the coverage range, Tahan does not want to try rashly.

Xu Lai wants to test the combat effectiveness of the demon army, and Kerrigan also wants to test the combat effectiveness of humans.

To be honest, Kerrigan still looked down on humans from the bottom of his heart.

Didn't he kill the famous Grand Dukes, Grand Marshals, and Ministers of Defense of the Empire?

But Xu Lai used the blood of countless orcs and demons to prove his strength step by step, and he had a real reputation.

For this reason, Kerrigan had to be cautious.

He didn't even stay in Briston, but led his troops to camp outside the city.

He had heard about the forbidden spell hero on the human side.

In order to break through the Holy Angel City as soon as possible and rush back to rescue, Kerrigan himself had just released a forbidden spell.

If it weren't for his blazing city, the entire Holy Angel City defense would have been burned to ashes, killing a large number of knights and priests.

Otherwise, just that huge angel army would be enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention coming back to rescue.

No one knows the forbidden spell better than him, and no one knows better than him when to release the forbidden spell to get the greatest effect.

Encircling the enemy in an isolated city, and then releasing the forbidden spell to burn without restraint, this is the best way to maximize the damage of the forbidden spell.

Coupled with his god-level fire magic, it can make units that are originally immune to fire bear fire damage.

Even if the Holy Angel City is the elite of the entire human empire, it still lost completely and suffered heavy losses.

After knowing that in addition to the magic god of Tahan, there is another forbidden spell-level mage in the human world, Kerrigan stationed the main force outside the city.

In this way, even if the enemy launches a sneak attack while the demon is resting, from sensing to the coming of the forbidden spell, and then to the release of the forbidden spell, he and his troops have enough time to leave the coverage of the forbidden spell.

Of course, if the hero who can release the forbidden spell can be killed in one fell swoop, it would be the best thing.

It’s a pity that he can’t release the fire spell now, otherwise he might try to kill it in seconds.

Kerrigan, who was born as a great demon, flew in the air with his guard Hell Baron and observed.

Unlike Xu Lai, even if he stood at the highest point of Gray Castle, he could not see the extremely far battlefield.

However, there is still good news. The conventional combat force sent by Kerrigan has basically no ability to resist under Yan Feng's harassment.

Xu Lai did not dare to keep in touch with the two commanders on the front line for a long time, and he had to save their mana consumption.

But how the battle went and what results were obtained, Tahan still needed to report truthfully.

Xu Lai already knew that Kerrigan's 12 specializations were all ultimate, but he only knew that Kerrigan had god-level fire magic last night.

After the attack of the fallen angels, Xu Lai contacted Archbishop Durr overnight and learned all the secrets of the fall of the Holy Angel City.

Although the Holy Angel City was breached, His Holiness the Pope sacrificed himself and forced the God's Descent again.

But this time, the God's Descent was to preserve the remaining forces in the Holy Angel City, not to continue fighting the demons.

The remaining tens of thousands of priests, more than three thousand priests, more than a thousand knights, and about 800 angels in the Holy Angel City were transported to the still intact Southern Cathedral by the Pope's divine power.

Currently, the temple is temporarily managed by the Patriarch of the Southern Cathedral, Archbishop Mannis Crimson.

Among Xu Lai's acquaintances, Lina's master, Archangel Gilad, disappeared, Neil from the Capital Cathedral, and Kemel, the Patriarch of the Northeast, all died in the battle.

The few knights who stayed in Holy Angel City suffered even more severe losses. The least one regiment lost more than half, and all members of the first knights were killed.

Even Elena's master, the high priest Xu Lai first met, and Ryan who was later promoted to Archangel, died in the Holy Angel City.

Xu Lai didn't dare to tell Elena this news. After their master and apprentice separated from the grassland, they actually never met again.

Among the remaining Crimson Archbishops in the temple, except for Wright and Xu Lai who were old acquaintances, the rest were not familiar with Xu Lai.

However, since in Hantan City, Wright forced Xu Lai to send troops but Xu Lai did not agree, the two sides also had their own bad blood.

It is said that the last order from the Pope is for them to go north to join the knights and priests who stayed in Qingfeng City.

However, this order seems to have been forgotten after the death of the Pope.

When Knight Commander Morrison mentioned it, Wright dismissed it on the grounds that eggs should not be put in one basket and that at this time, the fire of the temple should be preserved.

Even Wright, Xu Lai's old acquaintance, said so. The others had no friendship with Xu Lai at all, and even several archbishops who supported the heroes had no reason to refute.

In fact, it didn't matter to Xu Lai whether they came to join him or not.

The most he can do is regret the remaining few hundred angels. If he can recruit these 800 angels, his angel army will be able to fight against Kerrigan.

Now, Xu Lai could almost only control the sky above him. Once he left this area, he would not dare to let his angels and demon legions confront each other.

The good news is that the god-level skills that Kerrigan possesses are temporarily unavailable.

But all fire spells, even those cast by spell scrolls, have no effect.

The special effect of Kerrigan's god-level fire magic is flame penetration, which can eliminate 25% of fire resistance.

All spell damage must undergo resistance reduction after experiencing magic resistance.

This kind of resistance is different for everyone. For example, the alpine people who belong to the tower camp who have lived in the snowy mountains for a long time have natural frost resistance.

There is also the flame skin that comes with the devil, which is also a type of resistance.

Although humans in other areas do not have this natural resistance to water and fire, they still have natural resistance brought by their constitution.

Especially for a knight with extremely high physique like Xu Lai, even if he does not have any natural resistance, high physique can bring about at least 15%-20% resistance reduction.

As for those fire-immune units, such as firebirds, phoenixes, and seraphs.

They are equivalent to having 100% fire resistance and are therefore immune to all fire damage.

However, when facing Kerrigan, who possesses god-level fire magic, even the flame-immune Seraph will suffer 25% fire damage.

Including black dragons that are immune to level 1-5 magic, as long as the spell is a fire spell, even black dragons that are immune to magic will still have to bear 25% of fire damage.

People like Xu Lai have no natural resistance, and they will be directly reduced to zero or even negative values.

After the resistance becomes negative, the body will become vulnerable to certain attributes and need to withstand additional damage.

Take the general level 6 knight as an example. The knight itself is a profession with relatively high physical growth. Knights of this level usually have a resistance of more than 10%.

After being penetrated by flames, the flame resistance is -15%, making the person vulnerable to fire damage. For 100 points of fire damage, at least 115 points of health will be deducted, or even more.

The bad news is that there are only 27 days until Kerrigan can cast fire spells again.

When the time comes, Kerrigan runs to Graycastle and puts one there. Even if Xu Lai is not trapped, he will have to give up Graycastle.

Without the support of god-level fire magic and unable to release fire spells, Kerrigan and his troops did not show much overwhelming strength.

The horse archers, who were blessed with attack acceleration by Tahan, were extremely fast. Not only all of them hit the target in each round of shooting, they could at least hit most of them.

The extremely long range is further than that of the lava troll at the same level. After the damage is halved, the ultimate defense technique reduces the damage. Although it does not cause much damage, it has always been an advantage.

This should be compared to the past. As long as there is always output, even if the output is a little lower, it can cause casualties that cannot be ignored through continuous accumulation.

But today is different from the past. About 500 fallen angels flew out of the demon camp.

These fallen angels no longer possess divine power, but their combat effectiveness has not been reduced even though they have been corrupted.

Not only did they not reduce their combat effectiveness, they even had an additional healing ability.

Of course, this healing ability is only for units of the evil camp.

For humans and other warriors of the holy camp, it is a great harm.

Fallen angels, using evil energy, can heal the undead, dungeons and demons.

More than 10,000 horse archers shot empty quivers they carried, which only consumed a lot of fallen angels' mana. At most, they sent some demons to the incubation pool to heal their wounds.

Correspondingly, the devil also failed to achieve any results.

The range of the long-range troops sent by Cregan was out of reach, and the speed was even less up to the mark.

The only ones who can compete with the archers in terms of speed are the demons and fallen angels.

Kerrigan did not allow the demons and fallen angels to attack, after all, humans did not use any top-notch forces.

As for the winged demons, they were just food for the people, so there was no need to send them out to consume their own morale.

In addition to testing the ultimate logistics, ultimate archery, and the ultimate defense of the demons, which were already known, there was no other gain from the round of probing by both sides.

Xu Lai did not appear on the battlefield, nor did the Angel Alliance. The only thing that had a relatively large impact on the battle was the flag of the Knight Wind Corps.

Kerrigan's side was almost in a state of inaction. Most of the troops were not mobilized, and even the artifacts and various props were not used.

Tahan was very dissatisfied with this result. He personally organized a team of people and launched a charge against the fallen angels who appeared on the front line.

This was a team of recruited brave knights, with a level of 8. With Tahan's talent bonus, they were more powerful than ordinary 8th-level warriors.

What's more, they are still in the state of charging at this time. As long as they are not killed, any damage can only be converted into their offensive ability.

A large number of heroic knights charging is very terrifying. Kerrigan and his team knew this as early as when they fought against the Western Empire.

And with the bonus of the Knight's Wind Flag, the bonus of Tahan's talent, and the bonus of attack acceleration and full morale.

The speed of this team of knights far exceeds any cavalry charge that the demons have ever seen.

The key is that this team of knights not only accelerates quickly, but also reaches a speed limit that is far higher than that of ordinary heroic knights.

For knights, speed is life and damage.

Before reaching the attack distance of the lava trolls' straight arrows, the group of lava trolls couldn't wait to throw out the huge fireballs in their hands that were as big as bathtubs.

But this was just a test, so Tahan only selected a team of heroic knights, with a total number of less than 50 people.

Therefore, these knights were not densely distributed among each other, and the huge fireballs with group attack effects did not cause much exaggerated damage.

But even so, the damage of the lava trolls was extremely exaggerated.

Kerrigan did not send too many lava trolls, only about 3,000.

Among these 3,000 lava trolls, only the hundreds in the front row could fully unleash their firepower.

But with a round of volleys from these hundreds of lava trolls, the twelve knights in the front row in a cone shape instantly fell on the way of charging.

You know, these knights have an additional 5 points of physical bonus from the statue of the god of war, and the sacred blood bottle of the legion commander Xu Lai.

In the second round, more knights were attacked. Not only did all 24 knights in the second row fall to death, but the 12 knights in the last row also had less than half of their health left due to the splash damage.

However, the lava trolls did not have time to launch a third round of attacks. The speed of the knights was still too exaggerated.

From the start of accelerating to enter the attack distance, it took only about 5 seconds to cross the battlefield of three or four hundred meters.

The last 12 knights used their speed and the damage they suffered to convert all into horrific damage.

With the terrifying blessing of the god-level offensive technique, they instantly tore the bodies of the lava trolls in the front row.

And with the blessing of the charge, they reduced a lot of damage and tore the second and third lava trolls. (End of this chapter)
