The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai did not make his own decision. He asked someone to invite the Crimson Archbishop Durr, who was currently in charge of the temple.

Xu Lai wanted Durr to support some priests.

The priests recruited by Xu Lai only had some simple sacred spells, which were far less omnipotent and powerful than the priests in the temple.

However, the Holy City is still under reconstruction, and the new Grand Temple in Qingfeng City is also under construction.

The priests in the temple are also responsible for repairing the terrain and reshaping the faith. It is really not enough to divide one into eight.

Not long after Durr sat down, he gave a firm and affirmative answer like Xu Lai.

"I will try to coordinate. There are also many priests in the south who want to come. I will take this opportunity to communicate with them.

I can't guarantee the others. Anyway, when the troops are sent out, I will provide you with at least 500 priests, of which no less than half are bishops and archbishops."

Ordinary priests and priest apprentices have few spells, poor equipment, and limited mana.

Sending them to the battlefield, it is really hard to say whether they are going to help or to cause trouble.

But considering the reality, the temple can't gather too many senior priests.

Besides, if the low-level priests are not allowed to practice, they have no chance to grow into high-level priests.

Xu Lai doesn't know how confident Dur is, but the priests in the south, especially the senior members of the temple that Xu Lai knows.

He thinks that he can still find a way to win them over.

Among the several crimson bishops, Wright has broken up with him. If Xu Lai doesn't participate, he may have a better chance of winning them over.

Kemiler and Neil were both killed in the Lionheart Battle.

Among the remaining people Xu Lai knows, there are only Archangel Gilad and Knight Commander Morrison.

In addition to Xu Lai himself, Dur, Lina and others also have many old friends in the temple.

If all of them are mobilized, they will definitely be able to convince many priests, bishops, and even archbishops to come to the Eagle Kingdom.

"How long can the elves hold on?" Xu Lai asked.

The Qingfeng Corps' vacation has not ended yet, and it will take time to summon the priests.

The only thing Xu Lai can use now is the Knight Wind Legion and the new legion that Eric is reorganizing.

The female ranger looked up and said, "That damned undead wizard turned all our brothers and sisters into undead.

They even broke into the ancestral land of the elves..."

After a pause, the female ranger continued, "In short, the current situation is not optimistic. The strength of the undead is dozens of times more than ours.

All the defenses of the Emerald Forest are placed around the World Tree in the deepest part.

I can't say how long it will take for the undead to capture the World Tree. If we are lucky, we can hold on for two or three years.

However, due to the death of a large number of animals and plants in the Green Forest, the state of the World Tree is also very bad.

If there is any problem with the World Tree again, we may not last more than three months."

The ranger looked extremely sad, and with that beautiful face, it was particularly poignant.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Lai said, "How long will it take to get to the Emerald Forest from here?"

The female ranger said, "We came here by teleportation. If it is a large-scale military operation, it will take at least 10 to 15 days for my ranger troops."

Although rangers do not have mounts, they are famous for their speed.

Moreover, elves have a speed bonus in the forest terrain.

When they arrived at the human territory, although there was no speed bonus, they were all stone slabs, which made it easier to walk.

If it takes 10-15 days for rangers, then the Qingfeng Corps, which is mainly composed of infantry, may take a month just to get to the Emerald Forest.

There is no way, the elves and humans are two different territories, and there are also a lot of areas occupied by the undead in between.

It's a pity that the elves left a city signpost of the fortress city in the stubborn stone city.

Otherwise, these rangers would not even have time to ask for help.

If the Qingfeng Corps is not moved, and the Knight Corps is used, the speed of the human side can be increased several times.

The problem is that in the forest environment, the knights are extremely inconvenient to move, and their speed is much slower than that of infantry.

Overall, the Knights of Wind are not much faster than the Qingfeng Legion, and at most they are about the same as the rangers.

If priests are added, it will be even more cumbersome, not as good as the Qingfeng Legion.

Without priests, a pure cavalry team, even if it is all holy light knights, cannot compete with the undead.

"The priests sent by Bishop Dur can take the teleportation array directly.

I have a good relationship with the Naga in the deep sea, and can get enough energy stones at a low cost.

I can still support the consumption of teleporting back and forth for a priest group of 500 or 1,000 people.

But these hundreds of priests are just a drop in the bucket, and they are not of much help to the overall situation."

The elves are no longer something that can be dealt with by hundreds of priests. They need a large number of soldiers and a hero who can fully suppress the undead.

Otherwise, if Sandro continues to fight to support the war, the undead will become more and more, and the elves and humans will become fewer and fewer.

When the undead form a terrifying undead scourge, at least one camp of humans and elves will be wiped out.

"I will lead the Qingfeng Legion to set off first. If we travel day and night, we should be able to reach the Emerald Forest in about ten days.

When the time comes, I will ask Bishop Dur to take the teleportation array and go to meet up."

Reina hurriedly put forward her idea.

"But one third of the Qingfeng Corps is still on vacation."

"Leave them all here, leave them to Eric, and use this one third as the backbone of the new corps.

I will draw 30,000 archers from the Royal Archer Corps, and that should be enough."

Lena's answer was a little apprehensive. In any case, the Qingfeng Corps was Xu Lai's team.

She was trusted by Xu Lai, so she became the leader of the Qingfeng Corps.

But the cost of this corps, from recruiting to issuing resettlement allowances, to equipping everyone, logistics supplies, and the cost of advancement, is probably tens of millions of gold coins.

She didn't want Xu Lai to think that she was plotting against his Qingfeng Corps.

But her current behavior would make anyone feel the same way.

Xu Lai was still thinking, but the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn.

Before Xu Lai could think it over, Reina lifted her robe and knelt down in front of Xu Lai again and said:

"My Majesty, I know I shouldn't make such an unreasonable request.

You released me from the cage, and I have nothing to repay you.

Now I have to take risks with the legion you built with your own hands, which is really unworthy of you.

But I really have no other way. I can ignore the elves and the barriers, but the world tree is the mother of all elves.

I can never let the undead defile and destroy the world tree. Please help us."

For the elves, the world tree is the existence that nurtures their lives. Compared with the mother who gave birth to them, it just can't speak.

For the elves, they can betray their country, their camp, or even their race, but they will never betray the world tree.

Not to mention Reina, a native elf, even Giselle, Bai Yang and others will never watch the world tree being destroyed.

Xu Lai quickly helped Reina up and said, "I've said it before, I'll do my best to help.

The Qingfeng Corps will of course go, I'm considering the time issue.

Even if you can march quickly and reach the Emerald Forest within ten days, will you be able to catch up with the battle on the front line?

At this moment, every battle missed will create a greater gap in the strength of the enemy and us.

Let me ask you again, after ten days of forced march, how much physical strength will the soldiers have at that time? How can they fight?

If you really rush to the battlefield in ten days, you are not going to fight, but to lead people to die.

Finally, if you want to arrive in ten days, you definitely can't bring the logistics troops, and how much food can you carry?

Too much food will increase the weight, which will affect your speed of forced march.

If there is less food, what if you fail to arrive in time, or the elves' rendezvous point has been occupied by the undead, will they all starve to death?"

Xu Lai's questions made the elves on the spot speechless.

The female ranger also sighed and said, "I was too optimistic. I only considered the ranger's marching speed before, and didn't consider the supply situation."

As a general, the female ranger certainly considered the supply problem.

However, elves are different from humans. As long as they are in the forest, they will not lack food.

The ranger troops have almost never left the forest, so she automatically ignored them.

Facing Reina's silence, Xu Lai pondered and said, "

You guys should also relax. I promised to help you, and I will never break my promise.

And just now, I have also thought about it. If you want to get to the battlefield quickly, you must rely on the power of magic.

At the beginning, Master De'e of the tower released the gate of another dimension for me once, allowing me to cross a distance of hundreds of kilometers and rush directly to the grassland.

I can also use the spell of the gate of another dimension, but I am not specialized in air magic, so I am afraid that I can't achieve the same effect as Master De'e.

What I think is that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, and we can prepare logistical supplies as soon as possible.

I will try to ask Master De'e to come and ask him to help us open a door anyway."

"There is no way, respected King Xu Lai.

The sisters who went to the tower for help came back and said that the mages of the tower have been fighting on their own and have long since betrayed the original agreement.

They will no longer provide us with any assistance."

Xu Lai has not cared about the situation in the tower for a long time. His focus during this period has been on Lionheart City.

He only knew that the tower was the only place that still had many large hell cities.

Many demons in the Western Empire would use the castle gate to teleport directly to the tower before the city was captured.

Reina had previously led the Qingfeng Legion to sweep across several demon cities, and at least half of them were empty cities.

Although this greatly improved Xu Lai's efficiency in recovering the Western Empire, it also brought heavier pressure to the tower.

The tower's twelve-member council was originally an extremely loose alliance.

They just occupied a unique geographical advantage and barely stood firm.

But at the same time, the tower's geographical advantage is also the demon's geographical advantage.

The demons occupied several high mountains including the Aswan Snow Mountain. The famous Aswan Snow Mountain was even transformed into the Aswan Furnace.

Now the advantage of the mountains is in the hands of the demons, and there is also a furnace that can flow magma.

Let alone driving away the demons, the tower can be considered good if it can keep the existing territory.

Without the help of the tower magician, Xu Lai's ability alone would not be able to save much distance by opening a door to another dimension.

There is no way, Master De Ai not only has more mental power than Xu Lai, but also has the ultimate air magic and specialties in space magic.

In addition, Master Deai also has a full set of air and space spell enhancement equipment.

Even so, he could not send Xu Lai's men directly back to Qingfeng City, but had to continue traveling for a while.

But no one, including Xu Lai, Reina, and Tahan, had control of the city on the elf side.

In other words, the gate of time and space is also impenetrable.

The Gate of Different Dimensions and the Gate of Time and Space are of little use. If you want to get there quickly, you can only fly over.

Xu Lai has not yet possessed an artifact like the Blazing Wings, but he has mastered the magic of flying.

Without the ultimate air magic, Xu Lai's flying magic is not very fast, and there is no way to save mana.

But his mental power is high enough, and even except for great magicians like De Ai, few mages can compare with his mental power.

If his mental power is high enough, it means he can fly for a long enough time.

One of the great advantages of flying is that it does not require detours and can ignore the terrain, greatly saving distance.

Moreover, his so-called slow speed is only compared with the flying magic technique of the ultimate air magic.

Compared with the general infantry's traveling speed, he is still much faster.

The most important thing is that logistics is not helpful for flying, but Xu Lai's talent is so fast that even flying is still useful.

This speedy effect gave Xu Lai the blessing equivalent to intermediate air magic.

In addition, if you use flying magic, all the weight will be offset by magic.

Not only can soldiers carry more supplies, but they also won't use up their physical strength.

Even if there is any problem on the front line, they can join the battle as soon as they arrive.

The only problem is that with Xu Lai's mana and mana recovery speed, he will probably have to suffer a lot if he wants to get to the battlefield quickly.

The Great Magician's Book has been integrated into Xu Lai's magic book, and his magic book cannot be traded to others.

Even if he gives the magic book to Reina, the hero can quickly cast spells with the help of the magic book, and the magic book is also bound to the hero.

"That's it, you all go back and prepare, especially Rena, go back and select the soldiers.

This time, after all, it is a battle in a foreign land, on the premise of ensuring combat effectiveness and adapting to forest combat.

Prioritize the wishes of the soldiers.

Also tell them that during the time they go to fight the undead, I will double their military pay and give them priority for promotion to officers. "

With a snap, Reina solemnly performed a military salute.

Xu Lai knew that as long as he returned victorious this time, this general would not be able to escape from his grasp.

And based on the lifespan of an elf, this woman will be there to protect the Xu family in the next three to four hundred years.

After Reina left, several elf rangers also got up together.

The leading female ranger said to Xu Lai: "Dear His Majesty the King, my name is Trisili.

From today on, you will always be the elf’s friend and the elf’s most distinguished guest. "(End of chapter)
