The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 737 Completely occupying Lionheart City
After the teleportation array was opened, the development of Lionheart City finally got on the right track.
Under the organization of grassroots officials, all the population of Lionheart City was mobilized.
Brick movers moved bricks, wall builders built walls, cremators cremated, and cleaners cleaned.
The streets became clean and bright again, and the manor outside the city began to provide staple food for Lionheart City a day later.
Vegetables and meat products still need some time to be raised. The devil came and the surrounding wild animals were almost eaten to extinction.
However, the population in the city has dropped sharply, and most of the third-class population can only leave Lionheart City and live outside the city because they cannot even allocate housing.
The villages and towns outside the city need a large population for production.
Those temporarily appointed village heads and town heads also obtained Xu Lai's permission to provide housing for these third-class people at a very low price.
Such treatment also forced these third-class people to rack their brains to obtain a formal place of origin.
But what they despised before is what many people dream of.
It is not impossible to re-naturalize in the Eagle Kingdom, but one must make his own contribution.
For example, one can join the army. Administrative positions do not recruit third-class citizens, and soldiers will not have this restriction, and the treatment will not be any different.
If you die, you will still receive pensions according to the treatment of ordinary citizens.
However, apart from joining the army, the rest of the paths are more difficult, and the system is not perfect yet.
Fortunately, there are not many people, because apart from Lionheart City, Xu Lai has not seen anyone who is unwilling to join the Eagle Kingdom in other places.
In other cities, the Eagle Kingdom and Xu Lai's army both appeared as saviors.
Who made Lionheart City the capital in the past?
Of course, Lionheart City is now also a secondary capital, and it is still the largest city in the entire Eagle Kingdom.
Since Tahan opened the passage to Lionheart City and recovered the nearby Demon City, more and more people have poured into Lionheart City.
According to the latest population statistics, after driving out nearly 100,000 third-class citizens, there are still about 50,000 households and nearly 200,000 people settled in Lionheart City.
As time goes by, this scale will become larger and larger.
There are a lot of ownerless houses in Lionheart City, and someone can take them over. Selling them casually can also bring huge income.
With a professional team, Xu Lai can also move into the palace to live.
But he doesn't like the extravagant decoration of the Aled family, and there are still many old members of the Aled family in the palace.
Therefore, Xu Lai only temporarily found a palace to live in on the edge of the corner.
In fact, if it weren't for Elena, Su Ya and others coming, he would not even want to move out of the Holy City.
Elena actually prefers to stay in the Holy City, but she is pregnant, and the Holy City is more thoroughly destroyed and has no facilities.
Xu Lai originally wanted Elena to return to Qingfeng City after the memorial service, after all, the environment there is much better.
But Xu Lai himself has to stay in Lionheart City for a while, and this city is also where Elena grew up.
Elena is unwilling to go back, and Xu Lai will certainly not force it, but just ask Su Ya to transfer more chefs and servants.
Xu Lai himself doesn't need it, but he won't be hypocritical and let his family not enjoy the convenience.
As a result, the palace of Qingfeng City was deserted.
Xu Lai asked Harris to bring his little blue dragon with him and keep it in Lionheart City for breeding.
Su Ya had not planned to stay in Lionheart City for a long time. After all, Qingfeng City was Xu Lai's foundation, and there could not be a shortage of people there.
However, Su Ya had guarded Xu Lai's hometown for so long, and up to now, she had not even left the house.
Qingfeng City also had Dill Rogers in charge, and both the public security and construction were in a very stable state.
If Su Ya was left in Lionheart City, it would not be good for the holy dragon to be left alone.
After half a year, this little dragon also looked a little like a giant dragon.
After living in the egg for too long, it absorbed nutrients fiercely after breaking out of the shell, and its height grew very fast.
Although it was only a young dragon, Xiaolan was now a holy dragon with a body length of more than 15 meters.
Generally speaking, the giant dragons recruited, even if they were rank 8 black dragons, were only this long.
Only wild dragons, such as the black dragon of the dragon knight Sir Eric, can be larger than Xiaolan.
However, even though it is much larger than Xiaolan, the black dragon did not dare to approach when it arrived at Lionheart City.
Xiaolan, who was playing in the palace, flew directly into the sky, flying over the black dragon with his head held high.
The holy dragon is worthy of being the king of the dragon clan. Even if it is just a teenage dragon, it can suppress an adult black dragon.
If Xiaolan is not smart enough, he can recognize the military uniform on Eric and the flag of the Vanguard Group.
Otherwise, with the performance of this black dragon, I am afraid that it can help Xiaolan to wipe out the Vanguard Group.
Of course, Knight Eric is not a vegetarian. He is a big man who can tame the black dragon single-handedly.
After receiving Xu Lai's call, Eric and Reina packed up their teams and headed towards Lionheart City.
Reina's army is huge, and she had a mission before, so she couldn't respond quickly.
If the regiment goes first, it will be able to return soon.
First, a steady stream of cavalry came, and even though most of them did not enter the city, they patrolled and swept around outside the city every day.
Later, the teleportation array was opened, and officials and gentry from Qingfeng City were constantly teleported in.
Now there are thousands of elite infantrymen escorting thousands of priests into the city.
Originally, with the speed of the first landing group, it would not have taken so long.
It was precisely because Xu Lai received a strong request from Dur that he asked Sir Eric to escort.
Although Tahan opened the road, he really didn't have time to kill all the demons.
What's more, it was the time when the new and old moons alternated, and there were groups of wild monsters on the road.
Although there are priests in this world who are good at close combat like Ryan.
But in Xu Lai's usual impression, the image of priests is still relatively weak.
The first landing group entered the city, but there was no big commotion.
After all, there are more than 10,000 archers and thousands of holy knights in the city.
These thousands of infantrymen are really nothing.
But the return of the priest group led by Dur to Lionheart City is of extraordinary significance.
First, the Knight Commander of the Temple swore allegiance to Xu Lai in the street, and then the Crimson Archbishop led the priests to return.
The significance of these two is basically equivalent to the Temple's recognition of the Eagle Kingdom.
This scene made the old imperial people who were unwilling to settle in the Eagle Kingdom before and can only be third-class citizens now regret it.
After all, if Xu Lai could finally unify the entire human empire, they could have become the elders of the empire and get a big piece of the pie.
Just like the residents of Qingfeng City now.
Even if they only own a house in Qingfeng City, because it is the capital, this house can be easily exchanged for a manor in other big cities.
But it's useless for them to regret now, the world is not short of regret medicine.
At this time, they are eager to hope that the army of the South Empire, the North Empire, or the East Empire can come and overthrow Xu Lai.
But the fact is that even if Xu Lai is defeated, they, the old imperial people who have been driven out of the city by Xu Lai, will never be valued again.
With Xu Lai's full support, even the damaged walls, gates, and moats of Lionheart City were not repaired in time.
All the craftsmen in Lionheart City, including those transferred from Qingfeng City, were all involved in the restoration of Holy Angel City.
Xu Lai gave him such a face, and Dur was not vague.
During the day, he brought the priests and used divine magic to find the heart of the castle of Lionheart City for Xu Lai.
At night, he still brought the priests to organize the remaining people in Lionheart City to pray for the victims of Lionheart City.
Lionheart City was captured, Holy Angel City was destroyed, and the faith of the people in Lionheart City almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Xu Lai took back Lionheart City quickly, and Dur returned in time, so there was still room for rescue.
In Dur's prayers and blessings, Xu Lai was portrayed as a messenger sent by the God of War.
The golden statue of the God of War erected by Xu Lai in Qingfeng City also fully demonstrated the degree to which Xu Lai was valued by the God of War.
Xu Lai certainly could not be absent from the important ceremony of restoring faith.
And as the favored one of the God of War, Xu Lai was also the most important core figure of the ceremony.
However, Xu Lai's face turned red with embarrassment after just listening to Dur's casual boasting.
Adjectives such as wise and brave, heroic, and killing demons were piled on Xu Lai without cost.
Xu Lai could not even refute, because he was the messenger and favored one of the God of War, how could he be timid and afraid of death.
Under Dur's unremitting propaganda, Xu Lai finally became the ultimate redeemer and savior of the human world.
The Eagle Kingdom naturally became the only empire respected by the temple.
In addition to the recognized North Empire, the South Empire and the East Empire became heretics.
Xu Lai did not know how terrible it was to be labeled a heretic, but he knew that in that world without divine power, the so-called heretics often had only one end, which was to be burned to death.
When Dur promoted this, he obviously did not consider his colleagues in the South Empire.
When the priests of the Southern Empire receive the news, it is estimated that there is a high probability that they will split.
Most of the priests who came from the Imperial Capital, the Northern Empire, and the Western Empire still have deep feelings for their homeland.
These priests who are not from the Southern faction will naturally be excluded by the local priests when they go to the Southern Empire.
Moreover, influenced by the Pope, many priests actually agree with Xu Lai more.
Especially since the invasion of demons and undead, the entire Southern Empire has not made any moves, and not even a decent reinforcement has been sent out.
Compared with Xu Lai, who overthrew the entire hell demon camp almost by himself, it is natural that who can get more recognition from these priests is self-evident.
The most important thing is that Xu Lai now occupies the Holy City, and Dur has become the only crimson bishop in the Holy City.
Since ancient times, important orders from the temple have all come from the Holy City.
It is impossible for the bishops and archbishops in charge of other regions not to obey the orders from the Holy City and instead obey the orders of the Southern Cathedral.
After this grand ceremony, the faith and people of Lionheart City have been greatly converted.
With Dur's help, Xu Lai quickly found the Castle Heart of Lionheart City.
This thing was buried deep in the sewer by the devil. No wonder Xu Lai and his team couldn't dig it up.
Occupying the Castle Heart, the entire city completely belongs to Xu Lai.
Relying on the Castle Heart, many buildings can be quickly repaired as long as there is money.
For example, the Cloud City, after being stuffed with gold coins and rare resources.
This Cloud City, which has been floating above Lionheart City for thousands of years, finally floats above Lionheart City again.
The Congress is also a standard building. With money and craftsmen, and with the blessing of the Castle Heart, the speed of repair is also very fast.
Moreover, the Congress was forced to downgrade, and the area occupied will be much smaller, and the resources invested will undoubtedly be much less.
The new Parliament building is still larger than any other city's parliament, and Jilong and others finally have their own office space.
As one building after another was repaired, Reina also rushed to Lionheart City with the Qingfeng Legion.
This group of troops entering the city also completely eliminated the last hope of the old imperial people.
At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of Southern Empire soldiers who had been detained in the barracks could finally be pulled out to see the sun.
Xu Lai did not intend to take all of these people. They were of high rank, but the key was that their fighting will was too weak.
It is hard to imagine that this 200,000-strong army was defeated by a cavalry charge.
Even if the cavalry had an advantage, they could only send out a few waves, and there might not be even 10,000 knights on the battlefield.
The most important thing is that with a ratio of 20 to 1, the casualties of the knights were almost negligible.
With the angels, the knights were not afraid of casualties, but the angels were indeed useless.
Such a group of people who had almost no fighting will and had long been corrupted by a luxurious life, what qualifications do they have to be called warriors.
First of all, Xu Lai didn't want any of these officers.
The several main leaders who ordered the surrender that day were all hanged by Xu Lai, and they were in front of these soldiers.
Including the commander of the Royal Archer Corps, Earl Will, the uncle of Princess Jasmine Aled.
Even Jasmine Aled's natal uncle was killed. Xu Lai and the Southern Empire were completely incompatible.
But as the saying goes, a bad soldier will make a bad general.
The performance of these soldiers was basically due to the incompetence of the leading officer.
It just so happened that Xu Lai's Qingfeng Corps, the Knight's Wind Corps, had gone through dozens of battles, and many soldiers had made great contributions.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Lai would give them a lot of rewards.
The Qingfeng Corps had the largest number of soldiers, and the new soldiers Xu Lai brought from the grassland had also been tempered after the wars.
Now there are 100,000 soldiers, and new soldiers will continue to be recruited from Lionheart City.
Therefore, Xu Lai plans to split another legion from the Qingfeng Corps.
Xu Lai plans to hand over the person in charge of this legion to the dragon knight Eric.
However, Eric only has the identity of a knight. Although he can lead the recruitment of soldiers, he does not even have the bonus of a general.
To change this situation, Xu Lai has to confer a title.
And for non-heroes like Eric, at least they must be conferred the title of earl or above to give them the specialized ability of heroes. (End of this chapter)
