The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 98 Don’t let anyone go
Hard work paid off. Even at night and even at a distance, Andy Yin still recognized the real commander in the crowd after careful observation.
In fact, Andy Yin almost missed Xu Lai and regarded the heavily armored knight's retinue as a hero.
In his opinion, there is no supreme commander who doesn't even wear a helmet. The head is the most vulnerable part of a person. Although death will not occur directly in a world where this specific law exists, dizziness, coma and other bad situations will occur.
Xu Lai was in good health, and his dizziness was just dizziness, not to the point of fainting.
But the healing spells Xu Lai threw out from time to time were finally noticed by Yin Andi.
A heavy arrow shot down. To Yin Andi's expectation, Xu Lai was able to react, preventing his arrow from succeeding.
When he wanted to pursue the shot again, the knight's retinue, who was also experienced in fighting, had firmly blocked Yin Andi's direction, making him unable to gain any gain from two consecutive arrows.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, the sound was intermittent, the number should not be many, and it was divided into sections.
At this time, if Andy Yin turned around and made a counterattack, he might be able to take advantage of the distance between Su Ya and the nomads, separate them from each other, and still have a slight chance of winning.
However, Andy Yin finally sighed and blew a whistle, and instantly all the horse thief leaders turned around and left the battlefield.
Xu Lai was very dizzy, but he was not one to fight back when beaten. He almost immediately ordered a full-scale pursuit.
He himself couldn't ride a horse, and it was probably impossible to draw a bow, but he took out the spell scroll with his backhand, mustered up the last of his mana, and shot out a fire ray.
Not to mention that, before Yin Andi ran far, he didn't have enough mana to cast the spell a second time. Even if he had it, Xu Lai, who couldn't wait for it to cool down, directly tore the scroll into pieces.
The second flame ray flew out almost immediately after the first flame ray.
If the arrows were coming, Yin Andi might have a chance to dodge. As a fifth-level horse thieves leader, Yin Andi's riding skills were even more exaggerated than Xu Lai imagined.
However, the flame ray was almost like a laser, and the speed of light could not be reversed by manpower. He was hit directly at that moment, and a big hole appeared in his luxurious breastplate.
It's a pity that this piece of defense is almost as good as the breastplate of Xu Lai's magical armor. The breastplate with a body defense of 48 points has almost no resistance to spells.
The physique of a fifth-level warrior allowed Yin Andy to survive this fire ray with 160 points of damage, but he never dreamed that Xu Lai would be so decisive.
Xu Lai didn't even look at the result of the first fire ray. He tore the scroll directly after using it. If Yin Andi was killed by the first shot, his scroll would be completely wasted.
But it was precisely because of Xu Lai's decisiveness that Andy Yin completely ruined his chance of survival.
Yin Andi had already taken out a bottle of life potion from his arms. If Xu Lai hesitated a little, Yin Andi could use this time to replenish his life to full value.
However, while he wanted to capture the king, he also exposed his own identity.
You know, in terms of shooting power, because the mounted archer uses a mounted bow, it is destined to be much lower than the infantry archer of the same level.
But Yin Andi's archery power is so powerful that it can't even compare to Xu Lai's fifth-level marksman, which shows that Yin Andi is at least a fifth-level or even higher-level mounted archer.
Such a powerful cavalry archer was not only a leader of horse thieves but also a deputy commander. It was necessary to kill him.
Also based on his overestimation of the opponent's level, Xu Lai tore up the only spell scroll without any hesitation and successfully killed Yin Andi, the leader of the horse thieves.
When the leader died, the horse thieves, who had already fallen into a state of low morale, instantly lost their morale to zero.
At this time, the retreat order issued by the leader of the horse thieves completely turned into a huge collapse.
Xu Lai couldn't ride a horse at this time. The archer could still draw his bow and shoot a few arrows at this distance, but it was impossible to chase these horse thieves.
But Su Ya and the others have already arrived. Her men are all high-level cavalry, and the lowest are nomads who are equivalent to thieves.
Not to mention being much faster than the horse thieves, they also have Xu Lai's logistics skills and the 5-point agility blessing of the God of War's Feet.
Of course, agility is added to the nomads and does not affect their mounts, so it does not help much with the movement speed of the cavalry.
However, logistics can affect them. Besides, the horse thieves still have the morale penalty of being defeated. Their speed has dropped so much that they cannot escape the encirclement and suppression of Su Ya's cavalry.
After giving the pursuit order, Su Ya wanted to come and see Xu Lai, but Xu Lai held the knight's body and shouted loudly:
"Don't stop, chase me, don't let anyone go!"
Xu Lai has been in this world for so long, and has been injured so many times, probably more than he has ever suffered in a lifetime in modern society.
He thought he had gotten used to it, until an arrow stuck into his head.
This was the closest he had come to death. If it weren't for the special mechanism of this world, this arrow would have taken his life away long ago.
This also made Xu Lai's anger almost unstoppable and impossible to suppress.
Therefore, it was clear that Xu Lai wanted to keep some lives alive, not to make these thieves change their ways, but at least they could dig out some minerals if they were thrown into the mine.
But as soon as the words were spoken, it turned into not letting anyone go.
In front of Xu Lai, Su Ya was just a docile sheep.
But as long as Xu Lai gave her an order, she could transform into the most ferocious tiger. Not to mention that Su Ya, who came closer, saw with her own eyes the heavy arrow on Xu Lai's forehead.
In an instant, an emotion called anger completely enveloped Su Ya's body.
There was both anger towards the enemy and self-blame and anger for not being able to protect Xu Lai.
With a wave of the imperial sword, only one word came out of Su Ya's mouth: "Kill!"
Having done this in the middle of the night, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
After sitting for a long time leaning against the knight's retinue, Xu Lai regained his consciousness and touched the arrow on his forehead with his hand, wanting to pull it out but afraid of pulling out his brains.
Fortunately, after touching for a long time, it was confirmed that the arrow was just stuck in the skull, and Xu Lai pulled it out with a heart.
When you pull it out, you will inevitably suffer secondary injuries, and the pain will be much more severe than when the arrow was hit.
Su Ya had already run away with her cavalry. The battle was actually over, but the battle had not yet been settled.
Xu Lai waved his hand, and all the troops on the battlefield automatically began to assemble, and Xu Lai's face gradually darkened.
Before the battle began, Xu Lai had 24 spearmen and pikemen, two infantrymen, 1 knight retinue, several archers, and 49 flower elves and flower demons.
After a big battle, there were only 18 spearmen and pikemen left, and a total of 6 level 3 spearmen were lost. This was only saved after Xu Lai healed his wounds many times in a row and almost exhausted all his mana. .
However, it was not the spearmen who suffered the greatest losses, but the flower elves.
With the help of intermediate offensive skills and treasures, the attack power of the flower elves is no worse than that of the horse thieves. The defense of both sides is extremely low, so there is nothing to compare.
However, the basic health of the flower elves is too low, even compared to that of farmers. Even with the blessing of the Ring of Life, they still suffer heavy losses.
When they defected to Xu Lai, there were 50 flower elves in the group, which was the largest number of troops in Xu Lai's hands.
After this battle, the number of flower elves dropped sharply to 12, a total of 32 were lost.
The flower demon who was not immune to counterattack was okay. Although his life was about the same as that of the flower elf, he basically survived.
Only one flower demon died after being hit by several arrows. It should have been shot by the guards around the knight.
The shooters were basically unharmed under the protection of the spearmen and infantry.
Only those level 5 and level 6 shooters lost their health points due to hand-to-hand combat with the horse thieves leader. The most one only lost one third, which was nothing.
After gathering the troops, it was naturally time to clean up the battlefield.
The militiamen driving the arrow boats in the distance had been called back. Xu Lai asked one of them to go back to the village and call all the farmers back, while the other two gathered the torches thrown away by the horse thieves and lit them all again.
As the extinguished torches lit up again, the tragic situation at the edge of the fence was clearly presented to Xu Lai's eyes.
Compared with their own losses, almost all the horse thieves who attacked were wiped out, and only a dozen leaders and about 20 elite guards escaped.
This group of guys were implicated by the horse thieves, and their morale was also reduced to zero, so even if their combat power exceeded that of ordinary third-level warriors, Xu Lai was not worried at all.
At a glance, there were corpses all over the ground. This was only around the fence. The horse thieves who were shot to death by shooters and trampled to death further away could not be seen clearly because they were not under the firelight.
Xu Lai conservatively estimated that at least 300 people died in this group of horse thieves. Including the 4 or 50 people who escaped, the attacking group of horse thieves had a total of 400 people, which could be considered to be worthy of him.
Fortunately, these 400 people are only level 2 horse thieves. If they were level 3 thieves, Xu Lai probably wouldn't be able to defend them.
"Clean the battlefield, pile up all the corpses, and tie up the horses first."
Even the most common draft horse is worth 4 or 50 gold in the grasslands where horses are mainly produced. The people Xu comes here are all grassland horses.
Of course, Xu Lai also knew that after Su Ya killed all the targets, the battle should be completely over, and the settlement of the battle should come.
At that time, it was hard to say how many horses were left. Anyway, Xu Lai couldn't tell the difference now, so he simply tied them up first to avoid being unable to find them after running far away.
Just when I thought about the settlement of the battle, the light of settlement fell.
"A wonderful victory: In this battle, you killed a total of 350 horse thieves (including some independent fighters), 25 horse thieves leader (captain), 6 thieves, 2 thieves leader (captain), and horse thieves commander (general)* 1. Our losses: Flower Elf*32, Flower Demon*1, Lancer*6.
You have 1 knight retinue, 2 sharpshooters, 6 spearmen, 4 pikemen, 1 longbowman, 8 archers, 1 wood elf, 4 flower demons, 12 flower elves, and militia shooters. 4 Get promoted. "
Xu Lai frowned. This battle settlement seemed a little inaccurate.
