The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Wild monsters running away is not a strange phenomenon, and this is not the first time Xu Lai has encountered it.

It's just that the wild monsters that escaped before were all caused by the collapse of morale. He had never encountered such wild monsters that took the initiative to attack and escape.

If he had encountered it before, he would never have dared to build a village near the manticore. Was he really at risk of his life?

In such a strange situation, Xu Lai ordered the pursuit without thinking.

It's just that the spearmen and shooters are infantry and are obviously not suitable for pursuit, so they can only be left to Su Ya to hold the battle.

The evil ghost she has to deal with is not easy either. This thing is carrying a big stick, but it is a level 4 undead creature with super recovery ability.

Without the blessing of Xu Lai's intermediate archery skills and Su Ya's own marksman characteristics, a group of second-level trainee archers would not be able to kill an evil ghost even if they shot until their hands and feet became weak.

Su Ya watched Xu Lai run away with only three cavalrymen, her eyes full of worry, but she could not leave so many troops behind and catch up.

We had no choice but to let the trainee shooters focus on an evil spirit and kill it slowly.

And this time she did not choose to constantly kite her opponent like Xu Lai. Instead, when the evil ghost entered the optimal shooting range, she personally went into battle and led the spearmen to block the shooters.

The Lancer's spear is not as long as the Lancer's, but it is still much longer than the big stick in the devil's hand.

Su Ya and another armored spearman stood at the front of the team. Whenever an evil ghost leaned on his strong body and forced the spearman to charge forward, she would rush out with a sword and shield and kill them alive. The head of this evil spirit.

Fortunately, Su Ya still had some sense and knew that Xu Lai's most important thing was the troops he had.

No matter how impatient she is, Su Ya will order the troops to retreat when in danger.

There were also security troops left behind by Xu Lai. Their security range was 100 meters. Sure enough, as soon as the evil ghosts chased after them, they were shot down by the sharpshooters.

Su Ya then reorganized the troops, leaving the spearmen with lower health points behind, while she charged again with the spearmen with richer health points.

It's just that despite her desperate fighting style, the defense of these level 4 evil ghosts is very high, their health points are extremely high, and their recovery ability is ridiculously strong.

The speed is slightly slower. With Su Ya's high morale and logistics bonus, our own spearmen can barely take advantage of the speed.

Although the trainee shooters couldn't outrun each other, they stayed at the end, and the evil spirits couldn't hurt them until they passed the group of spearmen.

With the help of the sharpshooters, Su Ya finally killed the group of evil ghosts, and gradually some evil ghosts began to escape.

At this time, the only spearmen left beside Su Ya were the spearmen who barely had one-third of their health with the blessing of defensive skills.

Out of the marksman's attack range, relying entirely on the strength of his own troops, it took more than half an hour to kill even these evil spirits whose morale had collapsed and who just wanted to escape.

Wanting to support Xu Lai now is simply wishful thinking. It has been more than an hour since Xu Lai left. Su Ya doesn't even know where Xu Lai has gone, let alone support him.

Just when Su Ya was panicking, Xu Lai led three cavalrymen and fell far behind the group of horse thieves.

Xu Lai's mount is a grassland horse. The most important thing is that Xu Lai himself is not wearing armor and the load is not high, so the horse's speed is not bad.

The other three cavalrymen all carry heavy loads, especially the knight's retinue, whose horses are still fully armored.

But their horses are better. Even though the load is much higher than Xu Lai's, their speed can still surpass Xu Lai's.

Xu Lai could only say that, as expected of the magical world, where in the real world could there be such a strong horse, carrying a knight weighing less than half a ton, and walking for more than half an hour without showing any sign of fatigue.

The grassland is endless as far as the eye can see, and there are no obstructions anyway. The group of horse thieves in front can naturally spot Xu Lai and the others following behind.

But also for this reason, it is impossible for this group of horse thieves to ambush Xu Lai.

Thanks to this group of horse thieves, Xu Lai discovered several waves of wild monsters along the way. Xu Lai also had the thought to draw the footholds of these wild monsters on the map one by one.

Moreover, with the existence of these wild monsters, there are signs on the grassland. As long as the sun does not go down and Xu Lai can recognize the direction clearly, he does not worry about getting lost.

Probably because they were tired of being followed by Xu Lai, this group of horse thieves who were circling around turned around and charged towards Xu Lai and the others.

However, Xu Lai was not afraid at all. These horse thieves did not have iron armor, were dressed in civilian clothes, and carried swords and shields. They seemed to have no deterrent effect.

After all, they were horse thieves who could be shot to death with one shot. How could Xu Lai be afraid of them.

This group of people didn't want anything else. Xu Lai didn't dare to be so arrogant as long as he had a charging spear in his hand. Xu Lai still felt weak when he charged with that thing.

Xu Lai, who was holding a sword and shield and protected by his knights' retinue, was not afraid at all.

Not only was he not afraid, but he even ordered a countercharge. The two mercenaries with stronger mounts but only half armor were like a train starting at high speed.

Because Xu Lai's order was to charge, they put down their bows and arrows and raised their battle spears.

The mercenary's speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that even Xu Lai also activated his skills and was still severely thrown away.

The two spearheads made of fine steel easily pierced the horse thief's weak body like tofu.

A mercenary charged non-stop. He rushed all the way for an unknown distance before he managed to turn a super wide bend and rushed over from behind the horse thieves.

Another mercenary's sprint was interrupted, and he decisively switched to Bai Zhan Dao, riding a war horse and fighting several other horse thieves on horseback.

The horse thief's knife struck the mercenary's armor, causing a burst of sparks to appear. However, with the blessing of defensive skills, the damage was not much at all.

On the other hand, the mercenary's sword not only directly beheaded the horse thief, but also slashed out a wisp of sword energy, directly cutting down the other unlucky horse thief next to him to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

When Xu Lai and the knight's retinue hurried to the battlefield, only two or three of the ten horse thieves had been killed by the mercenaries. Each of the two had an arrow, and they all shot to death on horseback after chasing for a few steps.

Only Xu Lai restrained them quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get through to anyone.

The last remaining horse thief was obviously better in riding skills than Xu Lai. Xu Lai surrounded one of the four, but he squeezed them all out of the encirclement.

However, when the two mercenaries raised their bows and arrows again, another thing happened that shocked Xu Lai. The horse thief actually jumped off the horse, raised his hands high, and shouted:

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

Xu Lai's orcs all raised their battle axes, but in the end they were stunned and couldn't put them down.

"Are you human?"

The horse thief looked at his body, with a puzzled expression on his face, and said weakly: "Master, I will be whatever you want me to be."

Xu Lai said speechlessly: "You are actually alive."

The horse thief shouted with a mournful face: "Master, please spare my life, please, we know we were wrong, don't turn us into undead!"
