The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Devin McCoy's words were very explicit, and could even be said to have abandoned all aristocratic dignity.

Even if the nobles kneel down in front of the king, they never think that the king is their master. At most, they recognize him as the monarch, which sounds better.

When they are not in front of the king, the nobles usually put themselves in the same position as the king, and they are both rulers of the empire.

What's more, Devin McCoy is a mage, and almost all members of the McCoy family are also mage.

As we all know, mages have no masters, and they don't even believe in gods.

Xu Lai, like everyone else, would not believe the wizards' lies.

However, he still accepted McCoy's surrender. The empire's magical power was far inferior to that of the tower.

Accept it, accept it, don't even think about getting Xu Lai to trust them, but they are still very useful in future planning.

Xu Lai plans to set up a magician academy to train magicians in the name of the country.

Mages may not believe in gods, but they cannot be born and raised. There are always parents and a country.

Spells can have no beliefs and no national boundaries, but mages must have them.

Currently, there is a huge gap in the number of mages in the Eagle Kingdom.

In addition to common organizations such as mage academies, magic guilds, and mercenary unions, which require a large number of mages.

Xu Lai also plans to build some magic research institutes for scientific and technological development.

It is specifically used to study spells that can increase crop yields, extend life cycles, and strengthen the body.

This world has been circulating for who knows how many years, but the improvement in spell types cannot keep up with this time dimension.

After giving Devin McCoy a reassurance, Xu Lai couldn't wait to take people to the teleportation array.

Of course, as the current manager of the teleportation array, Devin must also be present.

"Your Majesty, there were originally thousands of city landmarks stored in the teleportation array, but we can only restore about one-half of them.

Even among these one-half, only one-third is still on.

That is to say, this one-sixth of the city still maintains a close relationship with Lion Heart City.

We can activate any beacon in the teleportation array at any time and activate the teleportation channels for both parties. "

Xu Lai nodded and said, "Help me find out if there is a teleportation sign in Qingfeng City."

Devin immediately searched it with his mental power and quickly replied:

“Fortunately, Qingfeng City’s beacon was not completely destroyed, and we successfully repaired it.

Your Majesty, do you need to activate it immediately? "

Xu Lai said: "Yes, activate it immediately."

Xu Lai had already greeted Su Ya in advance. She and the people who were going to teleport to Lion Heart City were already waiting at the teleportation array.

What Xu Lai didn't expect was that after the light of the teleportation array lit up, Su Ya was not the first one to come out.

A group of knights wearing high-end armor walked out of the teleportation array.

Walking at the forefront was Lina, the current leader of the Third Knights.

Hundreds of knights lined up in front of Xu Lai. Under the leadership of Lina, they all knelt down in front of Xu Lai.

“Dear His Majesty the King of the Eagle Kingdom, I lead the knight representatives of the Third Knights to express my highest gratitude to you.

On behalf of the Third Knights, I only offer our loyalty to you and the Eagle Kingdom. "

The knights of the temple are also the knights of the empire. Their employment in the temple does not prevent them from being loyal to their country.

But before this, the temple had never acknowledged the fall of the empire.

So as knights of the temple, they still belong to the Lion Empire by default.

Even though the temple acquiesced in the founding of the Northern Empire, it did not recognize that the Northern Empire could replace the Lion Empire.

In this world with gods, divine power failed to overwhelm imperial power. Temples have always been dependent on the empire.

Strictly speaking, all Temple Knights, in addition to being loyal to the Temple and the God of War, are also loyal to the Empire.

And Lina knelt down in public today. In addition to thanking her, she also made it clear that they would respect the Eagle Kingdom in the future.

Of course, as a knight captain, Lina actually does not have this right.

The only person qualified to declare allegiance is the Pope who takes over the power in place of the God of War.

Even if the Pope dies, such a major matter must be decided by a collective vote of the twelve crimson archbishops at the Red Council.

But as a temple knight, one of the most important qualities is integrity.

Today, Lina and the knights of the Third Knights swore their allegiance in public, and there would be no chance of any change.

Unless the remaining crimson bishops in the temple collectively decide to remove Lina and other members of the Third Knight Order.

By then, Lina would naturally no longer be able to use the name of Temple Knight.

But delisting is just delisting. As long as the God of War does not take back the divine power bestowed upon him, the Third Knights will still be the Third Knights.

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and helped Lina up and said, "What are you doing? I didn't force you to express anything."

Lina stood up and said: "I'm not expressing my opinion, those guys from the Southern Empire, I just think they are farting.

I do this just because my brothers and I believe that you are the monarch who can unify the human world and make mankind glorious again.

Those archbishops, probably corrupted by the extravagant life in the south, were trying to use their own will to influence the people of the God of War.

You are the hero who defeated the devil and killed the Lord of Hell, but they would rather support those small lords in the south. "

At this point, Lina paused and noticed the civilians who kept gathering on both sides.

After all, it was a dispute within the temple, and it would not be good to make it public.

Lina waved her hand and said to the knights behind her:

"You go to the Holy City first, clean up the knights' station first, and you can move in directly after the other brothers arrive. "

Although there are more priests in the Holy City, it is up to them to clean up the city. It is unknown when people will be able to live there again.

Lina was very grateful to Xu Lai for retaking the Holy City, but she did not want to see the dilapidated city at this time.

After waiting for a while, Devin finished his breathing.

It was a big challenge for him and the other mages to send hundreds of knights in one breath.

But they were destined not to rest today, and Xu Lai had to drain their mana.

There were too many people he needed, and too many people who wanted to see him.

Su Ya helped Elena, who was obviously pregnant, out of the teleportation array.

Xu Lai left when Elena was just pregnant, but he did not expect to be gone for more than half a year.

Although he went back once in the middle, he only stayed for one day.

Xu Lai hurried over, took the pregnant woman from Su Ya, and gently hugged Su Ya and Anna on the left and right.

"Why are you here? You should stay at home and take good care of your baby at this time. "

Anna is different from Elena. Anna belongs to Xu Lai, while Elena is a priest of the temple.

The holy city of the temple is like this. Elena's teacher Ryan also died in this city.

In addition to Ryan, I don't know how many relatives and friends of Elena died in the battle.

This is definitely a sad place for Elena.

Elena said to Xu Lai with red eyes: "If I don't come to see the teachers, I will feel even more uneasy.

Husband, let me go to see them, let me pray and bless them personally. "

Xu Lai pondered for a moment, knowing that if she didn't let her go, she would always think about this matter in her heart, which would not be good for her body.

"Lina, Anna, please help me take her there.

Take good care of her for me, I will come to see you later. "

After they left, Xu Lai looked at Roland again. This guy understood and brought some Holy Light Knights to follow him to avoid any accidents on the road.

In addition to the three of them, Su Ya also brought a lot of people this time, even Xu Lai's housekeeper.

Some of these people were brought by Su Ya to take care of Xu Lai and Elena's daily life.

The rest were mostly people Su Ya transferred from various departments.

Jilong's people were really not enough, and they were not trustworthy enough.

The people Su Ya brought were different. They were all refugees that Xu Lai took in at the beginning, and they had deep feelings for the Eagle Kingdom.

With them as the backbone, supplemented by the personnel recruited by Lionheart City, a relatively stable temporary administrative system can be formed.

Xu Lai met these people one by one. Li, and with the assistance of Jilong and Suya, assigned them tasks one by one.

With this basic administrative team, many things that Xu Lai did and many things in Lionheart City can be done.

The whole city no longer needs to be as lifeless as before, and can be fully operational.

After recruiting enough people, some officials will go to towns, village chiefs, farms, and manors near Lionheart City.

They will replant these abandoned lands and manors.

At the planting speed of this magical world, as long as these manors start to operate, Lionheart City will soon no longer need supplies from Qingfeng City.

First, the land around Lionheart City is too fertile, and the harvest is far greater than that of the grassland area.

Second, Lionheart City has lost a large number of people, The dignitaries were also well disciplined by Xu Lai.

This means that all the output of these lands can basically be collected into the public treasury.

The remaining officials need to be responsible for the reconstruction of Lionheart City.

The main task is to re-count the population. Those who were unwilling to become citizens before will be uniformly assigned as third-class citizens.

The so-called third-class citizens mean third-class citizens.

They and their families have no right to education, no right to land, no right to housing, and no right to decent jobs such as civil servants.

Since they look down on the Eagle Kingdom, the Eagle Kingdom does not need to treat them as their own.

In addition to these third-class citizens, the rest who have become citizens will be uniformly assigned places of residence and jobs.

The jobs include administration Staff, construction workers, movers and cleaners, etc.

As long as there is work, there will be compensation, and Xu Lai did not bully people in this regard.

The compensation for work is mainly food for the time being.

Those who do not get a job will still be given relief food, but the time of distribution will be specified.

If there is still no work after a period of time, they can only be treated like those serfs and be assigned to a farm at random.

The third batch of people who were teleported today were some management of the Mercenary Union and the mages of the Magic Guild.

Then there were merchants who were eager to return to Lionheart City, and the dignitaries who went to Qingfeng City for refuge in advance.

They came to receive their own property. Lionheart City returned to the hands of humans, and they naturally worried that their property would be swallowed up by Xu Lai.

The fact is indeed as they expected. Xu Lai never intended to give them anything back.

He conquered this city, and everything in it belongs to him.

Any agreement signed between the merchants and dignitaries and the old empire has nothing to do with him.

They didn't give him a penny of the money they used to buy these lands and shops.

Now, it is simply a pipe dream to want to exchange for shops in the most valuable areas of Lionheart City with a few pieces of paper in hand.

The dignitaries are the same. When they were in Qingfeng City, Xu Lai didn't deal with them because they were there to spend money.

But it's different when they come to Lionheart City. Like Devin, Xu Lai can give some sweet treats to those who surrender voluntarily.

As long as they pay a sum of money, Xu Lai can sell their main house back to them.

Those who are stubborn and stubborn, just like their predecessors, will all be hung on the city gate tower.

One thing is that this world is better than the earth, that is, the superiors basically don't have to consider the thoughts of the people below.

Things like peasant uprisings don't work in this world.

Xu Lai has power, so he can be a dictator without considering anyone's opinion.

He has a group of 100% loyal warriors, and they are the most powerful warriors in the world. He can punish them however he wants.

He has always been soft-hearted.

Xu Lai is embarrassed to target people like Devin who surrendered and offered great gifts.

The last group of people today are the merchants and staff brought by Wei Yihong.

As merchants, those brought by Wei Yihong have naturally been screened.

Among them, some are big merchants with multiple space rings, who can carry a large amount of supplies to Lionheart City with light equipment.

These people play a very important role in restoring the market and trading channels of Lionheart City.

Xu Lai's space ring can mobilize a large number of items at any time.

However, he can't do these things idle, and it will take him several lifetimes to normalize the exchange of materials by himself.

In addition to these big merchants, the remaining merchants, although a little weaker in strength, are all merchants with good relations with the Eagle Kingdom.

The Northern Empire merchants who gave Xu Lai a large number of attribute potions are also among them.

Although their strength is a little worse, they are more worthy of Xu Lai's trust.

Moreover, these merchants who have a good relationship with the Eagle Kingdom can help solve many problems when they become rich.

For example, they organize food teams, transport teams, and help fight against Southern Empire merchants. They are all professionals.

After this group of people leave, the teleportation array will have to rest.

Although the teleportation array has been repaired, it is not based on the heart of the castle, and it cannot be replaced by a large number of energy stones.

Fortunately, Nofa also brought a lot of mages.

Otherwise, it would all depend on these mages of the McCoy family. With so many trips and thousands of people being teleported, they must be squeezed dry.

In order to maintain a high-intensity teleportation density, the most important thing is to occupy the heart of the castle as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
