The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 731 Robbery
Rhea Edrick looked up at the sky with a trembling body, and indeed saw a man wearing golden armor and leading a group of angels, appearing above his head.
Even the strongest royal griffin, carrying a group of knights, could not fly too high.
Griffins can bear it, but people may not.
Xu Lai was different. His physique was terrifyingly high, so he only brought some seraphim to observe the battle situation in the sky and provide attribute bonuses for Tahan and others.
Before getting the news from the captain of the guards, Tahan and others had already arrived near Lionheart City.
However, Xu Lai did not rush them to enter the city, but asked them to clear the demons outside first.
There are dozens of human towns outside Lionheart City, and it is unknown how many demons are hiding there.
Every day of delay will cause countless people to become food for demons.
The demons in Lionheart City have basically been controlled.
Besides, even if the army wants to enter the city, it needs to clear the land outside the city first.
Otherwise, the army and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city rely on Qingfeng City for food supply, which is a bit too much pressure.
The appearance of the Southern Empire Army was both within Xu Lai's expectations and beyond his expectations.
It was expected because Xu Lai had long known that the three major empires in the southeast and north were all planning to take Lionheart City.
The reason why he hurried here was to take Lionheart City first before these three empires.
To be honest, Xu Lai didn't want to have any conflicts with the other three empires at this time.
Fighting all the way to now, the population has declined, the soldiers are exhausted, and the magic world has a food gap, and it is in urgent need of a period of rest and recuperation.
Of course, as a Chinese, Xu Lai must have a unified idea in his heart.
But at this time, he still prefers to cease fire for a while.
He originally thought that as long as he took Lionheart City and left the other empires no chance to take advantage, they should give up.
But unexpectedly, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of holding a treasure.
After Xu Lai occupied Lionheart City, not only did the three empires not restrain themselves, but because the opponent was no longer a demon, the three empires actually mobilized their armies.
After receiving a secret report from the chief of the guards, Xu Lai was worried.
He simply transferred all his personal guard knights and Yan Feng's archer corps to Lionheart City.
The army entering the city also meant that Xu Lai no longer had to endure and could finally deal with those old nobles.
Upon learning that Xu Lai had been assassinated, Roland personally went out and the captains promoted from the Holy Light Knights each led more than a hundred people to the major powerful families.
Yan Feng was also furious. Compared with Roland, Yan Feng was one of the first to follow Xu Lai.
Although he did not serve as Xu Lai's defense officer, his loyalty to Xu Lai was unquestionable.
Like Roland, he divided the archers into more than a dozen teams, each with at least a thousand people.
Either guard the palace gates, city gates, and all the main roads and intersections, or lead the team in person to support Roland.
The city was in chaos, and demons were lurking everywhere, so it was not completely peaceful.
At this time, tens of thousands of troops entered the city, and the people welcomed them from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, no matter which country the army is from, as long as they are human, they are of the same race and will not hurt them for no reason.
However, when they saw these troops that had just entered the city, they immediately scattered and directly guarded all the main roads.
Even the dumbest people knew that this was going to be a big fight, and the smarter ones would find a place to hide and wait until the storm was over.
Tahan and Roland sealed the city and did not intend to let anyone or any demon go.
And Xu Lai had no time to wait here slowly.
He was not the kind of person who would sit and wait for death, not to mention that his infantry had not arrived yet, and all he had in his hands were cavalry.
The infantry and archers of the Southern Empire, just after landing after a long journey, immediately rushed to Lionheart City.
Because they were coming to attack the city, Will brought a large number of infantry and archers, but not many spearmen.
After rushing all the way, the army of the Southern Empire did not have time to set up camp.
In fact, there was enough time, but Will did not intend to waste time on the road. He wanted to rush to the vicinity of Lionheart City and set up camp directly there.
The enemy was exhausted, and the enemy was waiting for the enemy to tire out and fight on the main field.
They were also the cavalry that was best at fighting on the plains, and their charge power was more than doubled.
In this case, Xu Lai felt that he would be at a loss if he did not fight them.
So he sat on Yu Lan's body, and asked Elvy to take a hundred Seraphs to escort him and fly directly to the sky to remotely command the battle.
There was no suspense in the battle. When Tahan rushed to the vicinity of the battlefield with more than 100,000 cavalry, the outcome was already determined.
A thunderous sound exploded, and even the most elite Royal Archer Corps was so panicked when they saw the knights rolling in that they couldn't even hold their bows.
The three Royal Corps were all selected from the most elite warriors, and no recruits were qualified to be selected.
Because the warriors who entered the Royal Corps must change to the best standard equipment.
This alone is enough for the soldiers of the Royal Corps to crush any legion of the same level.
However, it is useless to have the best equipment alone.
In fact, the empire has not had a major war for thousands of years. These soldiers selected for the Royal Legion, except for the best ranks and equipment, have low fighting spirit.
In particular, they were sent to the wealthy south, as the power personally controlled by the royal princess Jasmine, and their treatment was even better than when they were in Lionheart City.
A life of wealth and luxury always makes people addicted, and thus lose the determination to fight hard.
What's more, facing the panic cavalry, any resistance is futile.
Tahan took the lead, and the thousands of knights he led stabbed into the heart of the Southern Empire Army like a sharp knife.
Under the constant scolding of Earl Will and a group of senior officers, the royal archers who barely raised their bows and arrows and launched a wave of counterattacks lost all their resistance after just one wave of charge.
The morale of the Southern Empire Army is still high. No matter how sharp the sharp knife is, it only kills a few thousand people in one round.
Compared with the 200,000-strong army, these thousands of casualties are really nothing.
The continuous flow of knights and the continuous charge are the real killer.
However, even if the morale of the troops is still as high as 70 points or more, the soldiers will lose their fighting spirit and collapse becomes the only outcome.
Countless of the most advanced royal archers threw down their longbows and swords before the subsequent knights arrived.
On the contrary, the heavy shield infantry responsible for covering these archers suffered more casualties, but many of them still held on.
Of course, they couldn't hold on for long. The second and third waves of knights rushed in continuously.
Those who resisted stubbornly couldn't even find a complete body.
More people put down their weapons and surrendered. If they were slower, the knights would have no way to control them if they wanted to spare their lives.
A battle with more than 300,000 people on both sides did not even last half an hour.
Xu Lai's cavalry did not even have tens of thousands of people, not to mention the huge square formation of the 200,000 troops of the Southern Empire.
One hundred thousand knights are many, but it is impossible for them to rush out in a swarm.
Not to mention that the terrain is not wide enough to expand, even if it is, the knights behind can only poke the buttocks of the knights in front.
If the army of the Southern Empire really fights to the death, even if the cavalry can crush the infantry, it will take more than half a day to kill 200,000 pigs.
When Rhea came with the Royal Griffin Regiment, he happened to see the Southern Empire army almost surrendering collectively.
Others have surrendered, Xu Lai must not kill them all, especially when there is a large shortage of population in his own family.
These people are all good laborers. If they are selected, they can be recruited for their own use.
And Xu Lai did not expect that there would be uninvited guests on the battlefield.
He did not want to show up at first, and in order to see the overall situation better, he flew a little high.
It happened that these griffins never paid attention to the top of his head.
With such a large group of griffins, Xu Lai could not ignore them, so he avoided them in advance.
After the griffins stopped moving, Xu Lai first found the leader among the griffin knights, and then flew down with Elvy and the others.
Xu Lai's sudden appearance really scared Rhea half to death.
However, before Rhea could speak, Elvy flapped her wings and the long sword was already on Rhea's Edrick's neck.
"Be careful, don't move!"
As the strongest Seraph, Elvy, with the blessing of Xu Lai's speed, was really as fast as a ghost.
Rhea's forehead was covered with a lot of cold sweat in an instant, and she forced herself to calm down and said to Xu Lai:
"Your Majesty, the King of the Eagle Kingdom, what do you mean?"
With their boss in the hands of others, the other griffin knights naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Xu Lai smacked his lips and said:
"I should be the one asking you this. My troops and I are fighting here. Why are you here with your griffin to join in the fun?"
Rhea Edrick was speechless. He couldn't tell Xu Lai that he was here to take advantage.
After a moment of silence, Rhea said: "Your Majesty, please think clearly. Your current actions mean declaring war on the Eastern Empire.
I think there are still many misunderstandings between us. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"
Xu Lai sneered and said: "Just you?
I forgot to ask, in what capacity are you talking to me now?
As the head of the Royal Griffin Knights of the Empire, or as a vassal of the Eastern Empire.
If it's the former, I can still say a few words to you.
If it's the latter, then I'm sorry, you are not qualified."
After these words, Rhea was speechless again.
Indeed, he is at least the founding king, the human king recognized by the temple and blessed by the god of war.
If he gave up his position as the head of the imperial army, he would be just a vassal of the Grand Duke, and he really had no right to talk to Xu Lai.
"What about me? I am Yuwen Xin of the Yuwen family of the Eastern Empire. I should be able to talk to you, right?"
Seeing that Rhea was restrained, Yuwen Xin stood up without hesitation.
Xu Lai glanced at Yuwen Xin who stood up, frowned, and the giant eagle under his feet immediately sensed his intention.
A chain of lightning instantly struck Yuwen Xin.
The power of the chain of lightning was certainly not enough to kill Yuwen Xin, but he and the royal griffin under him were struck by lightning together.
Under the influence of the paralysis effect, the two people immediately fell from the height.
Xu Lai just waved his hand gently, and the two Seraphs flew out.
In order to prevent accidents, Xu Lai dispatched two Seraphs to save face.
He could still calm down when a sword was held at his neck, but when Yu Wenxin fell and two Seraphs chased him out, Rhea couldn't calm down anymore.
"Xu Lai, what are you going to do? Do you really want to provoke a war with the Eastern Empire?"
Xu Lai snorted coldly and said: "Didn't you start the war?
I snatched Lionheart City back from the devil. Now you are all coming with soldiers and horses to rob my city. Are you still not allowing me to fight back?
There is no such truth in the world.
If you dare to show up here today, you must be prepared to die. Otherwise, what are you doing here, just playing house? "
"Yu Wenxin is the second son of Grand Duke Yuwen. If you kill him, Grand Duke Yuwen will never let you go."
Xu Lai shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Will he let me go if I send you back intact?"
Rhea Edric was stunned and said: "I, I don't know."
Xu Lai laughed and said: "Okay, I'll put you back now. How about you help me be a lobbyist after you go back?
I really don’t want to provoke the Eastern Empire now. You go back and let Yuwen Shaoguang express his condolences. Anyway, I heard that he has many sons. "
Although Xu Lai's words were unpleasant, Rhea's eyes lit up and she said, "His Majesty the King is really willing to let me go back?"
Xu Lai smiled and said, "If you don't want to, just go back. I just don't know if Yuwen Shaoguang will let you go if you go back."
Rhea's face turned pale, and then she remembered that Yu Wenxin was the only one who died in the entire Griffin Legion.
If he really goes back like this, what should he say if Yuwen Shaoguang asks.
Just say that Xu Lai killed his son alone among thousands of troops?
Or is it that your son ran out recklessly and ended up getting killed?
Even if Yuwen Shaoguang believed these explanations, he would not let him go.
In any case, Yuwen Shaoguang handed over his son to him. If he took him out and failed to bring him back, he would definitely have no way to explain.
But fortunately, he can still go back. Considering the face of his Royal Griffin Knights, Yuwen Shaoguang should not do anything to him.
At most, he should be more obedient from now on, give Yuwen Shaoguang a little more face, and sacrifice a little dignity.
"Oh, by the way, you can go back, but you have to leave these griffins under your command to me.
Don't worry, I don't want any of your knights, including their mounts. You can still fly back. "
"Wha, what?"
"What? Do you think the lives of yourself and your brothers are less valuable than these tens of thousands of griffins?" (End of Chapter)
