The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai can basically confirm that the demons in hell have not reached a cooperation with the undead in the cemetery.

Maybe they wanted to cooperate before, but Kerrigan didn't have the time, and there would be no chance in the future.

The ghouls that appeared in Lionheart City have no direct relationship with the demon heroes and are not affected by the demon heroes.

If they are wild monsters that fall from the sky, then these ghouls should stay in their fixed territories and guard treasures or treasure chests.

Therefore, there is a 99.9% probability that these ghouls in Lionheart City are self-generated.

As the capital of the empire, Lionheart City's geographical location is naturally excellent.

Lionheart City is located in the core of the richest Middle-earth continent. Outside the city, there are 800 miles of extremely fertile land, and there is even a magic plain nearby.

In the world of magic, you don't have to care too much about natural barriers.

Unless it is a natural barrier like the Pingfeng Mountains that almost isolates the two worlds, it can be artificially created.

For example, as long as you are willing to work hard and spend resources, you can build a 300-meter wall, and even have minefields and moats in the magma pool.

On the contrary, the magic plains and cursed lands are the real resources of the magic world.

But it is precisely because Lionheart City has an excellent geographical location and is close to the magic plains that it is rich in magic power.

The sudden death of a large number of people, a large amount of death breath and magic power combined, it is easy to give birth to various undead.

Now it is still short, and the first to appear are ghouls that feed on corpses.

And the appearance of ghouls is usually accompanied by zombies.

The appearance of zombies is not terrible. Although this kind of rotten undead is difficult to kill, it moves too slowly, and the threat to civilians is not as high as that of ghouls.

Ghouls are agile, with low health and defense, but extremely high attack.

Advanced ghouls can also restore health by eating corpses, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

However, when there are corpses, ghouls generally do not actively attack living people, but give priority to eating corpses.

Unlike other undead advancements, the experience gained by killing ghouls is far less than that of eating corpses.

Therefore, the threat level of high-level ghouls is very different from that of high-level zombies.

There are two branches in the zombie advancement, one is the power system of zombies and tyrants, and the other is the meat shield of plague zombies and abominations.

Zombies are originally level 3 units, which are advanced from level 2 walking corpses, so they appear longer than ghouls.

But if zombies are allowed to develop to the level of plague zombies or even abominations.

If you are not careful, the whole city may be destroyed by this undead.

Plague zombies have the characteristics of spreading plague. At this time, the plague is still relatively low-level, which is roughly equivalent to the severe flu in modern society.

After advancing to abominations, the spread of plague is wider, and the key is that the plague effect is also stronger.

After ordinary civilians are infected, unless they are purified by priests, they will die.

The key civilians who die from the plague will become zombies after death unless they are blessed by holy objects.

In the historical records of the temple, there are several disasters caused by the undead plague.

The main factor causing the undead plague is these abominations.

Moreover, if the situation in Lionheart City continues to drag on, more and more corpses will be exposed.

Once the death aura combines with these corpses, the corpses of the residents of Lionheart City will immediately turn into skeletons.

If time goes on a little longer, the souls of the dead in Lionheart City will not be saved, and eventually these souls will combine with magic power to form ghosts.

Ghosts are a kind of undead, which is quite peculiar, because they have no entity and are more restrained against physical troops.

Lionheart City has a large population of dead, and it has not missed any treatment. If it is not cleaned up in time, it will easily become a paradise for the undead.

The demons are naturally happy to see this happen, anyway, they are all some ownerless undead.

Just like Xu Lai doesn't mind having elf shooters in the army, the demons in hell don't mind having some undead brothers.

The man appointed by Xu Lai as the sheriff was called Aiden, a middle-aged man who was considered ordinary in the imperial capital and the leader of a medium-sized mercenary group.

When defending the city, the entire mercenary group was defeated. Aiden took the remaining team members and hid in the sewer in time to protect his family.

Although Aiden left a deep impression on Xu Lai, there were really not many people who listened to him.

If the dozen or so mercenaries in his group were not counted, there were only a few young and strong people who hid with them, and their respective families, who could obey Aiden's command.

But Xu Lai couldn't give him other support, even if he wanted to give him a troop.

However, the task assigned to him by Xu Lai was quite exaggerated, and it was definitely not something that these dozens of people could accomplish.

Even if Xu Lai left the right to recruit security guards to Aiden, looking at Aiden's identity, he knew that he could not call on too many people.

In other cities, security guards might be a more prestigious and stable job.

But in the imperial capital, especially this ruined imperial capital, no one knew how long Xu Lai could rule.

Immediately, Xu Lai appointed two more helpers to Aiden as deputy security officers.

One was of similar status to Aiden, and the other was the deputy leader of the mercenary group.

The deputy leader's mercenary group is larger than Aiden's. In addition to more than 20 warriors above level 5, he also has 2 archers, 3 crossbowmen and a mage.

Together with the young and strong who joined them, it is relatively easy to gather more than 100 people from the two groups.

The other one, like Aiden and his group, had just fought with Xu Lai and his group outside the city.

It was precisely because they had fought together that Xu Lai had a better impression of him.

But this one's identity is very different from Aiden and his group. He has more troops under his command, including more than 30 crusaders and nearly 80 heavy crossbowmen.

This guy, like Xu Lai, is a hero, a descending hero.

Unlike Xu Lai, this one has lived in the imperial capital for a long time and has been active nearby and doing tasks.

Although his growth is not fast, his nearby favorability and regional reputation are relatively high.

Otherwise, he would not be able to bring all his troops into the city.

In fact, this guy named Zou Jie originally had an elite knight and an archer unit.

It was just a pity that they were forcibly conscripted when defending the city, and he was unwilling to hand over the remaining assets.

After all, the ownership still belonged to Zou Jie, and the recruiters were afraid that the knights and archers could not be conscripted, so they could only leave them to him.

Because of this act of conscription, Zou Jie was unwilling to continue to serve Lionheart City, and he found a place to hide at the beginning of the battle. That is why Zou Jie is considered to be the one with relatively well-preserved strength among the advent heroes.

There were also several advent heroes in the previous wave, but they were accompanied by a limited number of guards at most.

What Xu Lai needs now is as many people as possible.

Zou Jie has soldiers in his hands. Although they cannot work, they can be used to maintain order.

When there is no one available, Xu Lai will not care about other people's history, as long as he does his duty here.

As for Zou Jie's few people, he may reject these advent heroes when he first came to this world.

But at this point, to be honest, he has long looked down on it.

The demon invasion is both a disaster and an opportunity.

The experience points that Xu Lai has gained from fighting in the past two years alone are more than other advent heroes can get even if they brush wild monsters for a lifetime.

What's more, the only way they can strengthen themselves is through tasks and wild treasure chests.

However, they need to fight for each treasure chest by themselves, and they don't know whether they can open a gold-level treasure chest in their lifetime.

And Xu Lai sits at home and does nothing, and can collect hundreds of treasure chests every month. He is even too lazy to open silver treasure chests himself.

With the improvement of the territory, the treasure chests, soldiers, and various resources he has are all beyond the imagination of other heroes.

As for the tasks, it's even more of a joke. Xu Lai himself is the biggest task publisher and task reward provider.

Now, let's not talk about other places. At least in the entire Western Empire, there are only sporadic wars with demons.

If other heroes want to achieve leapfrog growth, they can only leave the Western Empire and go to the Eastern Empire or the elves to practice with the undead in the cemetery.

If Xu Lai is still afraid of the rise of the heroes at this point, he should quit and hide back in the grassland as soon as possible.

After appointing three more sheriffs, the three teams each chose a task and went to work.

Yu Lan helped Xu Lai at the right time and mentioned the treatment of Qingfeng City sheriffs and sheriffs.

The other leaders and deputy leaders of the mercenaries who were just proud of their status and unwilling to be invited by Aiden.

Even if they are not even given the status of team leaders now, they all went to Aiden and asked to join the security team.

They are not attracted by the treatment of the sheriffs, but from the treatment of the sheriffs, we can see the treatment of the entire civil service system of the Eagle Kingdom.

The sheriff is not a big official. If he is placed in a small city, he may not even be able to step into the door of the noble family.

The sheriff of the imperial capital, even if his status is improved by several levels, is only a little bit of status.

They may not look down on the sheriff, but this is a threshold to enter the officialdom of the Eagle Kingdom.

To be honest, not many people believed Xu Lai's introduction before.

First, the Eagle Kingdom was established not long ago, and not many people know about the Eagle Kingdom.

Second, most of the people here are natives of the Empire. Outsiders left long before Kerrigan besieged the imperial capital.

Even those princes and ministers, if they were not reluctant to leave their current positions, would have moved to the Southern Empire early like most nobles.

The biggest problem of the local natives is that they look down on outsiders.

They couldn't even defend their own capital, so how could they believe that someone could wipe out the Burning Legion and kill Kerrigan.

But when Yu Lan lightly threw the demon armor, demon sickle and other iconic equipment left by Kerrigan on the ground, no one dared to question Xu Lai anymore.

Although this set of equipment was broken, the group of people present were too impressed by it.

After putting away these iconic trophies, Yu Lan took the royal griffin and evil angel left by Xu Lai to clean up the remaining demons in the city.

There were a lot of demons, and even after their defeat, their fighting power was still high, and ordinary civilians could not handle them.

After Yu Lan and her men left, only a group of angels were left around Xu Lai.

However, the prestige that Elvy had just established was still there. At least before Elvy left, this group of people did not dare to act recklessly.

"Then, I repeat again, can anyone among you repair the teleportation array?"

Finally, after Xu Lai asked for the second time, a young man dressed as an aristocrat came out.

"Your Majesty, the King of the Eagle Kingdom, I know a little about the teleportation array, and maybe I can help take a look at the teleportation array.

But I don't know to what extent the demons have damaged the teleportation array, and there is no way to guarantee that it can be repaired.

And even if it can be repaired, repairing the teleportation array is not something that one or two mages can do. It requires the cooperation of many mages and a lot of resources."

Hearing this, Xu Lai smiled and said, "It seems that you don't seem to want to join the Eagle Kingdom.

But it doesn't matter. As I said before, I am willing to give you freedom as long as you have not committed a crime."

The man saw that Xu Lai's face did not change, and knew that Xu Lai really needed them These people then bravely asked:

"We can't be criminals, Your Majesty.

Everyone present here comes from a noble family, and we can't do anything that will bring shame to the family.

Including the Prime Minister you just took away, he served the Empire loyally until the last moment, what crime did he commit?

Your Majesty, what crime do you want to execute a diligent Prime Minister of the Empire without trial?"

Xu Lai still smiled and said:

"Boy, you are very brave!

I just don't know if you would dare to say this if the Lord of Hell, Kerrigan, stood in front of you today. . "

After that, without waiting for his answer, Xu Lai said:

"But I can still answer you. I don't know what crime your diligent prime minister of the empire has committed before, and I don't want to care about it for the time being.

Including you, whether you have committed a crime before, I will not care about it for the time being.

When this city is completely settled, there will naturally be a formal trial agency to judge you.

At that time, even if I have many dissatisfactions with you, I will definitely give you a chance to argue.

The promise I can give you now is that from now on:

Everything you do is beneficial to this city and this The good deeds of the people of this city can offset part of your punishment.

Of course, if the trial result is not guilty, all the good deeds you have done can also be regarded as merits and as the qualifications for your future promotion.

Even if you do not want to become citizens of the Eagle Kingdom, I will give you a satisfactory reward before you leave according to your merits.

As for your prime minister, in front of me, he used his eyes to stop capable people from coming out to repair the teleportation array.

The resources and soldiers in the rear could not come to support immediately, and the losses caused were immeasurable.

Such a crime, in my place, is called treason. "(End of this chapter)
