The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Destroying a capital-level city would obviously result in more losses than gains.

Even the Lord of Hell was not willing to destroy the city after capturing Lionheart City.

Destroying the Castle Heart will not only lose a capital-level Castle Heart, but also the huge amount of resources spent to build this city.

The key is that no one can take away the remaining resources after destruction, they can only stay in place.

However, in addition to resources, the blueprints spent in building this city can basically be dropped.

If an outsider, such as Kerrigan, comes to destroy it, he can directly obtain the top blueprints of the hell camp.

After the capital-level castle heart is broken, you can get one or two castle-level castle hearts.

Needless to say, the value of a castle heart of this level is basically priceless and no one is willing to sell it.

In addition, the buildings in Lionheart City are very comprehensive. Even the buildings that do not appear during the upgrade process will be completed with drawings.

In terms of value, the higher the level of building drawings, the higher the value will naturally be.

Secondly, the value of hidden buildings that are not found in ordinary cities often needs to be improved by several levels.

For example, the Griffin Fortress is only available in the Eastern Empire, and lords from other places are willing to purchase it at a high price.

There is also the Holy Church. The drawings of this building are only available in the temple. They are rarely given to other lords and are never allowed to be circulated.

These two hidden buildings are more precious than the knight training camp.

Not to mention, Lionheart City also has the Hall of Champions and Cloud City.

Especially Yunzhong City, a top-notch building like this, not many big guys have a chance to get their hands on.

Of course, none of these can be compared with the Congress. Only with the architectural drawings of the Congress can it be possible to build a second national capital.

Devon McCoy wants either Cloud City or the Congressional drawings.

This is no longer about the lion opening its mouth, but about taking away most of the benefits of destroying Lion Heart City.

"This is impossible. Yunzhong City and Congress are the most precious assets of Lion Heart City. It is impossible for you to take them away."

Devin McCoy shrugged and said:

"Whatever you want, my conditions are here, you can consider it yourself, I don't care anyway.

I am just worried about you. You saw just now that even the Prime Minister of the Empire, named Xu, did not hesitate to kill him.

Not only are you of no help to him, but you also have a lot of resources in your hands.

Why don't you bet that he will never attack you?

By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to. All the assets your family has accumulated over the years will fall into the hands of Xu.

Find a way now. Even if you don't get much benefit from Lion Heart City, you can at least keep most of your family assets. "

Having said that, Devin McCoy was about to leave, but suddenly said:

"Oh, by the way, I don't know how damaged the teleportation array is.

But if Xu can really provide us with all the resources we need, with the strength of the court mages, it may be possible to repair it in two or three days.

You also know that although I am the chief mage of the palace, now even the palace is gone.

Strictly speaking, I can't continue to order them, and I can't convince them if I don't give them enough benefits.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, at least you are safe now and can go home and rest.

We also have to take a look at the teleportation array. If we really want to destroy Lionheart City, we have to ensure that there is no connection between this teleportation array and the Heart of the Castle. "

Devin McCoy's footsteps were so fast that after a while, he couldn't even see his shadow.

Behind him were all kinds of court mages wearing uniform robes.

Obviously, at this moment, these court wizards still look up to Devin McCoy.

Even though Devin looks very young, he has already established sufficient prestige among the court mage group by relying on his own abilities and family power.

"What should we do? Are we going to let that kid blackmail us like this?"

After a moment of silence among the nobles, someone finally asked.

Just as the others were about to speak, the leader, a white-haired old man with a ducal coat of arms, coughed and said:

"Anyway, everyone should go home first and take inventory of the family members, servants and so on.

No matter what Xu wants to do, we need to be prepared in advance.

After everyone goes home, discuss it with your relatives and friends, and we will discuss it again in the evening. "

As he spoke, the white-haired old man glanced sideways, and everyone followed the white-haired old man's gaze.

Several mercenary captains, each with a few people, entered the palace under the leadership of another deputy sheriff appointed by Xu Lai.

The first thing they did when they came in was to drive people out of the palace.

Of course Xu Lai could not let these people continue to stay in the palace.

Even if Kerrigan had already cleaned up the palace, Xu Lai was not at ease.

In fact, Xu Lai is now also the actual ruler of Lion Heart City.

In other words, all the wealth in Lion Heart City belongs to Xu Lai personally.

One thing that the young mage said was correct, Xu Lai would never let go of the princes and nobles in the city.

It's not because he looks down on these people, but it's because the wealth they control is completely incompatible with their current strength and status.

However, Xu Lai didn't want to act in a hurry, because he only had so few people.

It was okay to let these angels kill people, but they were powerless to plunder even if they wanted to.

Killing at this time would only make them riot collectively, and they would either find a way to escape the city or incite people to rebel against Xu Lai.

If they wanted to escape, Xu Lai had the advantage of speed and was sure to kill many of those who wanted to escape.

But he didn't have enough leaders, and if these people fled in all directions, he would have to run around.

He was not afraid of riots either, because he didn't have many soldiers under his command, but his combat effectiveness was exaggerated and terrifying, and he could suppress any riot.

But the secondary damage caused to Lionheart City, especially since he had to rescue the imprisoned population, would inevitably cause great chaos.

The huge economic and population losses caused by this were really something Xu Lai didn't want to see.

If possible, Xu Lai would actually prefer most people to remain imprisoned.

It's just that the environment in the dungeon was too bad, and the cells that used to hold one person now held at least dozens of people.

Demons don't care about human life and death, but Xu Lai knows that if this continues, many people will die just because they can't breathe fresh air.

The fact is just as Xu Lai expected. Aiden led people to the dungeon to rescue the people, and found that there were several corpses in each cell.

Some had already rotted and stank, and even found signs of the activities of undead creatures.

However, due to the dim light in the dungeon and the lack of professional priests in the team, it is not certain for the time being.

The people pouring out of the dungeon did bring great chaos to the city. Some people were trying to find food, some were trying to find their relatives, some were crying loudly at their destroyed houses, and some fainted directly on the street.

The security guards who had just taken on the task had no experience and were full of sympathy for these poor people.

So the security guards, who were already few in number, were even more unable to maintain order, and even the distribution of supplies to these refugees was almost messed up.

At the critical moment, Zou Jie stood up.

He had an army, but they were all recruited soldiers and had no ability to act independently.

Therefore, the task assigned to him by Xu Lai was to guard the supplies.

Xu Lai took out rice, flour, eggs, beef, mutton and other supplies from his warehouse ring and piled them all in the empty square.

The purpose was to tell all the refugees that there were plenty of resources and to reassure them.

However, he still overlooked that although the demons did not dare to let all these people starve to death, they would not be so attentive.

Most of those who died in the dungeon starved to death because they could not grab food.

Now that these civilians have been liberated and see a lot of food in front of them, it would be strange if they didn't scramble for it.

The mercenaries sympathized with the civilians. Although they tried their best to maintain order, they were reluctant to take heavy hands.

Zou Jie was different. In his eyes, these refugees were just higher-level NPCs, and he didn't need to care about their feelings at all.

Killing people might lose reputation and goodwill, but he was now dealing with the impact of the mob, so it was legal killing.

Moreover, Zou Jie was not in the mood to care whether his reputation or goodwill would be deducted in the future.

The security guards who maintain order are fired at most if they do not do a good job.

He is not only the leader on the scene, but also responsible for guarding Xu Lai's "supplies".

If he is robbed by someone so inexplicably, he can't bear Xu Lai's anger.

After killing a group of people fiercely and with such a large mountain of supplies here, the restlessness in the crowd finally stopped.

Three security chiefs, one is responsible for guarding the palace, and the other is responsible for distributing food.

After releasing the civilians, Aiden recruited a large number of refugees and moved the corpses in the city to the southwest corner of the city for centralized burning.

Xu Lai took Elvy and personally searched for the warehouse where Kerrigan hid in the ruins of the Holy Angel City.

This once most sacred place is now the place with the most undead.

I don't know if it was intentional by the devil, but there are a lot of corpses piled up here, plus the bones and flesh left by the nightmare beasts.

Every step Xu Lai took out can almost be called a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

In addition to these, the most obvious mark is the angel sculptures all over the ground.

As a former holy city, angels are the highest level representatives of the temple, so a large number of angels are painted and sculpted on the walls and gardens.

But Xu Lai also knows that there is a group of angels who use themselves as statues to guard the city forever.

These angels who are transformed into statues will also become statues after death.

There may be such angels among the rubble on the ground.

Xu Lai casually cast a wall of fire with his ultimate fire magic and terrifying mental power.

The wall of fire he released not only covers a wide range, but also continues to burn for a long time.

The refugees recruited by Aiden will also carry corpses in the Holy Angel City.

But here, they only need to throw the corpses into the wall of fire, and the raging flames will devour everything.

Elvy followed Xu Lai closely, and had to distract himself to control the angels under his command to search and kill the undead inside.

Angels can also serve as captains and can also be appointed as generals by Xu Lai.

But unfortunately, even as a king, Xu Lai could not appoint the recruited angels as captains.

Therefore, although there are many angels here, they can only act under Elvy's command and have no independent combat capabilities.

Elvy had to command the angels while paying attention to Xu Lai's safety.

The task of finding Kerrigan's treasure house fell entirely on Xu Lai.

Fortunately, he had a lot of time, and the angels had blocked the gate of the Holy Angel City.

Without Xu Lai's order, only Yu Lan could bring people in. If anyone else ignored the angel's warning, they would be killed on the spot.

Moreover, the huge warehouse was not difficult to find. Since the nightmare beast had been waiting for them on the clock tower early, its nest must be nearby.

Sure enough, Xu Lai found Kerrigan's stacked supplies and equipment in one of the few intact buildings behind the clock tower.

It was dusk, but as soon as the gate was opened, the strong golden light almost blinded his eyes.

Xu Lai had not been to the Holy Angel City many times, so he didn't know where this place was.

However, all the buildings in the Holy Angel City had windows, and they would open several windows, including the warehouse.

After Xu Lai got used to the reflected golden light, what came into view was a real mountain of gold.

This building was probably used by priests for prayer. It was not only huge in area, but also quite tall. The key point was that it was extremely empty.

In addition to the door that Xu Lai opened, there were only three huge high windows.

The mountain of gold took up one-third of the entire room, but its height reached almost the top, about 20 meters high.

The room was huge, and the half area occupied by the mountain of gold was also not small.

Then according to the calculation formula of the cone, this mountain of gold was about 8,000 cubic meters.

The size of the gold coin was much larger than the one-yuan coin that Xu Lai had used. In terms of volume, it was about 4 or 5 times, or even more.

The volume of a one-yuan coin was about 1 cubic centimeter. Even if the volume of a gold coin was 5 times that of a one-yuan coin, it would only be 5 cubic centimeters.

One cubic meter is equivalent to one million cubic centimeters. If you count the space between the stacked coins, then one cubic meter can hold 100,000 gold coins.

Although Xu Lai only estimated that this pile of gold should be less than 8,000 cubic meters.

But if you add the rare resources next to it, which are far more precious than gold coins, the 8,000 cubic meters that Xu Lai calculated is definitely less, not more.

One cubic meter is 100,000 gold, and 8,000 cubic meters is 8,000 100,000, which is a full 800 million gold coins.

Even if the estimate of 800 million gold coins is a bit exaggerated, remove half of it, and add those rare resources and advanced equipment.

The value of this warehouse is definitely more than 1 billion gold coins, no less.

With so many resources, even if Xu Lai had seen it from Moril, he was shocked this time.

But just think about the many prosperous shops, wealthy merchants, and families that have been passed down for thousands of years in the imperial capital.

Even the entire palace might have been emptied by Kerrigan, so it's not surprising that there is so little wealth. (End of this chapter)
