The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

48 brave knights bravely launched a charge when facing an enemy that was almost a hundred times their number, and achieved a result that was almost the same as their own number.

From this point of view, the Empire was the winner of this test.

But from the result, the more than 40 lava trolls that were killed did not die completely, but turned into 150 level 5 fire demons.

In terms of results, it was a small defeat for humans.

And if both sides expand the scale at the same time, the human side may not be able to ensure that the result will change.

It would be fine to fight in the plains. If the terrain is not large enough, the knights cannot disperse.

The lava troll fireballs not only have extremely high damage, but can also explode. If they cannot disperse, the casualties will be very terrible.

However, both sides have gained something in this round of attack.

Kerrigan has a new understanding of the terrifying speed and damage of human knights.

In his heart, the 100,000 cavalry led by Tahan are definitely more terrifying than those royal knights in Lionheart City.

In comparison, most of the Royal Knights were recruited knights, and everyone wore the best equipment. Their overall attributes and combat effectiveness were stronger than the Knight's Wind.

However, the Royal Knights were not led by such powerful heroes as Xu Lai and Tahan.

The gap between talents, flags, treasures and god-level offensive skills could not be made up by one or two levels.

Twelve knights, who were at least half-crippled, rushed into the more than 3,000 lava trolls led by Kerrigan himself, and killed more than 40 lava trolls.

If the knights of Lionheart City had such terrible speed and impact, his demon army would have been dispersed long ago.

Tahan also figured out one thing.

Although Kerrigan's fire spell had been temporarily sealed, his god-level fire magic had not.

As Kerrigan's enemies, they were also within the coverage of Kerrigan's hero domain, so Tahan and his team still needed to bear additional fire damage.

Secondly, Tahan also glimpsed some of Kerrigan's abilities.

For example, the attribute that is extremely important for all combat troops, morale.

The speed and impact that surprised Kerrigan and made him extremely afraid did not achieve the effect he wanted in Tahan's eyes.

Kerrigan had never seen a knight with high morale, but Tahan and his knights were victorious in every battle and had high morale.

In Tahan's eyes, these knights under his command should be faster, have stronger impact, and at least trigger some critical hits, and should never kill more than 40 lava trolls.

Moreover, in terms of the result, although humans can only be regarded as a small defeat, they are defeated after all.

Especially his army, which has almost never been defeated, will not be indifferent to morale even if it is just a small loss.

Whether it is a drop in morale or a shame and then courage, Tahan can understand it, but he cannot understand the calmness at this time.

On the battlefield, Tahan cannot devote too many knights at one time.

Even if he can, because he cannot disperse, he will definitely not be able to gain any advantage from the devil.

Therefore, without the third round of probing, Tahan chose to withdraw his troops and return to the camp directly, and report to Xu Lai after the battle report came out.

This time, he failed to gain an advantage, and the bodies of the knights who died in the battle must not be retrieved.

Unless Tahan wants to sacrifice more knights for these dozens of bodies.

Tahan didn't know that Kerrigan was right above him, just as Kerrigan couldn't tell the main general from the pile of knights at a glance.

Neither side deliberately revealed their identities, although both sides were very confident in their own military strength.

Tahan evacuated carefully, and each unit was in order, covering each other, and even waited for Yan Feng and his archers to replenish ammunition.

Kerrigan had no intention of pursuing, and several demon generals who were ready to move were all pressed back by him.

Even several demon heroes under his command wanted to catch up and release several fire spells on behalf of Kerrigan, but he was rejected.

Now Kerrigan is not willing to expose too much of his own strength.

After learning that the Gate of the Abyss was destroyed, Kerrigan was furious and immediately led his troops back once the war was over.

However, Xu Lai and his men had already retreated and were working hard to build the defense of Gray Castle.

At this time, Kerrigan calmed down.

He knew very well that without the supply of the Gate of the Abyss, it would not be possible to provide much manpower with only the partially converted Hell Cities.

Now every bit of combat power in his hands must be used to the extreme, and there is no room for waste.

For this reason, he specially sent people to find Mendis's men and persuaded them all to come back.

He did not deal with Barton, and even encouraged him. His actions were not like a demon at all.

His anger towards Xu Lai did not diminish at all.

But Kerrigan also knew that he should not continue to entangle with Xu Lai at this time.

The Western Empire controlled by Xu Lai no longer had much oil and water, and Kerrigan could not open the Gate of the Abyss by himself.

If he wanted to open the gate of the abyss again, he would have to make another large-scale sacrifice, just like when he rebuilt the gate of the abyss in Briston.

Without the sacrifice of more than one million souls, his body sleeping in hell would not have the strength to tear open another hole.

Sacrifices of more than one million souls are not so easy to make.

Even if the Western Empire could still plunder a million people, how could he guarantee that there would be no casualties when the demons were driven out.

How could he ensure that these chaotic demons would occasionally take a human as a snack?

Only in the Northern Empire and Lionheart City could he achieve what he wanted.

But now he brought his main force to confront Xu Lai, and the Lionheart City that had just been conquered did not have enough guards.

After the news spread, the Northern Empire, even the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire, might have their eyes on Lionheart City.

This city has always been a symbol of the human empire, not to mention that there is also a capital, a palace, and the ruins of the temple here.

Reason forced Kerrigan to calm down, which was also the main reason why he had not launched an attack for so many days after returning to Briston.

Even if he couldn't cast spells, could he not find a demon warlock who could cast spells under his command?

Kerrigan was not determined to fight Xu Lai to the death, because if he failed, he would have no way out.

Kerrigan watched the cavalry retreat in an orderly manner, but he was thinking about how to take down this cavalry.

To take down this cavalry, you must choose a suitable terrain, and the Gray Valley is the most suitable.

But now the two entrances and exits of the Gray Valley are in Xu Lai's hands, so he naturally cannot introduce human cavalry into the Gray Valley.

Since Xu Lai gave up the Briston, which was almost within his reach, it means that he doesn't want this burden at all.

If Kerrigan wants to take down this cavalry, it seems that he can only send a large army to force the other side to fight with him.

However, after the battle of Lionheart City, he left half of his strength in Lionheart City, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of demons were his last assets.

Until the knights completely disappeared in front of him, Kerrigan did not make up his mind.

Xu Lai and his guess were correct. Kerrigan may still think that he has more advantages, but he no longer has the confidence of being invincible before.

And Xu Lai, who had been waiting eagerly, also fell into silence after receiving Tahan's report.

Unlike Kerrigan, he never felt that his side had an advantage over the demons.

Therefore, he was not very confident, and the news of the defeat did not affect him.

After combining various intelligence and taking stock of the battle report data, Xu Lai got a rough guess of Kerrigan's data.

The opponent's god-level fire magic has been confirmed.

In addition, the ultimate defense technique must be there, and the ultimate archery technique must be there.

Otherwise, those lava trolls, as spellcasting units, would not have such a long casting distance.

When Kerrigan responded, he did not show the movement speed of the troops, so it is not clear whether there is logistics technique.

But judging from the formation of those lava trolls, at least there should be tactics.

Of course, these specializations may also belong to Patton, the commander of the lava trolls. Kerrigan just needs to be his legion commander like Xu Lai.

So from the perspective of specialization data, basically all combat specializations can be included.

After all, even if Kerrigan did not learn it, there must be heroes under him who have learned it.

The focus of Xu Lai's calculations is still the attributes that heroes such as Kerrigan actually give to demon soldiers.

"I remember that in the treasure archives of the temple, there was a pair of artifacts called "The Imprisoned Spirit" and "The Hourglass of Bad Luck".

The function of these two artifacts is to imprison the morale and luck of both sides, so that morale and luck are no longer affected by the battlefield and cannot take effect.

With the presence of Hell Baron, our luck can be reduced by at least 3 points.

With the presence of Seraphim, Holy Light Knight, Heroic Knight and other units, human troops naturally have more morale.

I think Kerrigan should be carrying the Imprisoned Spirit, but not using the Hourglass of Bad Luck."

After thinking about it, Xu Lai first calculated an artifact on Kerrigan.

Yan Feng touched his chin and said, "Although we were not attacked by the lava trolls, they did fight back.

It's just that we are faster, and we have already left the limit distance before the demon's fireball is thrown.

The limit attack distance of these spellcasting units is almost the same as ours, and both of us have ultimate archery.

So I think Barton or Kerrigan must have a treasure that increases the range."

Spells generally have a hit effect, but if they exceed the casting distance, they will lose control and become more difficult to hit than arrows that exceed the limit distance.

"The defense of those demons is also far beyond that of ordinary demons. It is impossible that they only have the effect of ultimate defense. I estimate that there are more powerful defense treasures.

Even if the morale of my knights is imprisoned, the damage should be more than just killing more than 40 lava trolls."

Tahan added immediately.

"As the Lord of Hell, it is normal for Kerrigan to have some super treasures and artifacts.

And Kerrigan has a god-level talent for fire magic, so he must have an artifact that increases fire damage.

Now his fire spellcasting ability is temporarily sealed, and when the real battle comes, he may replace this kind of artifact.

In other words, even if we have now calculated the approximate attributes that Kerrigan has given to the soldiers, when the real decisive battle comes, we must estimate it higher."

Yu Lan also added a sentence at the end.

Everyone speculated, and although they calculated the approximate bonus of the lava trolls, it only confirmed Kerrigan's strength again.

Moreover, he easily threw out 3,000 level 7 lava trolls today, which was enough to show the strength of Kerrigan's troops.

For a moment, even Xu Lai, who had planned to take the initiative to attack, fell silent, wondering whether he should give up the advantage of Graycastle.

Both sides were shocked by the strength of the other side, and they were afraid of each other, but they were in a stalemate.

Of course, this so-called stalemate was just that both sides did not dare to rashly invest their main forces, fearing that it would directly lead to a decisive battle.

But the small movements of both sides did not stop at all.

Kerrigan was repairing Briston in full swing.

Repairing Briston would make it easier for Kerrigan to transfer between the two cities.

Secondly, it would also allow the demon troops to have a more stable rear and more easily obtain supplies.

Xu Lai's case was even more exaggerated. Kerrigan only repaired Briston, but Xu Lai attacked Graycastle and Big Graycastle directly.

Xu Lai had to continue to build on the already solid city defense.

He also spent a lot of money to recruit a group of hardworking great wizards to set up fire-resistant barriers for the two military fortresses.

The Holy Angel City also had a magic barrier, but it still failed to stop the powerful destructive power of the forbidden spell.

Xu Lai did not expect a group of great wizards to set up a fire-resistant barrier that was powerless even against the forbidden spell. He just needed to be able to hold on for a while longer.

Once Kerrigan planned to release the forbidden spell, Graycastle would not be able to defend.

However, Tahan was still between Briston and Graycastle. Let's not talk about whether Kerrigan dared to cross the army to release the forbidden spell.

Even if he came and succeeded, Xu Lai only needed to buy time for retreat.

After the large army left, at most he could come back after the forbidden spell was over.

As long as the demon troops on the ground cannot cross the Knight's Wind, even if the flying demons occupy Graycastle first, Xu Lai has the confidence to take it back.

And as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Kerrigan is the Lord of Hell, so there is really no need to take such a big risk in person.

In addition to the construction of the city, Kerrigan split his most powerful demon army into 3 teams.

One team is the largest and strongest, with 800 Hell Barons, who stay with him.

The other two teams, each with 500 big demons, form three teams with those fallen angels to kill human cities near Graycastle.

In order to deal with these three groups of people, Elvy can only become a firefighter and fly outside all day long.

Fortunately, on their own territory, neither demons nor fallen angels dare to fight with Elvy.

Because even if there is no hero around Elvy, the rescue will definitely come much faster than the demons.

But even if the demons didn't dare to attack, Elvy and her team of angels had to drive away three teams of demons, and they were so tired that they had to drink potions every day. Xu Lai felt even more distressed when he saw this. (End of this chapter)
