The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Xu Lai did not publicize the news of Muriel's death.

Even the soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion only knew that they were dealing with giant dragons, and had no idea that among these giant dragons there was also a dragon queen.

Killing the Dragon Queen is a major event that will change the world situation. The reputation that this battle alone gave Xu Lai is as high as more than 1, which shows how important this underground queen is.

Lena is the highest commander of the army, so she has gained the most experience, but Xu Lai is the leader of the faction, so naturally he adds more reputation.

Xu Lai only boasted that he had killed a legion of dragons, but he had two major concerns.

One is that if other forces knew that he had killed the Dragon Queen, they would probably come to get a piece of the pie.

The Dragon Queen would plunder everywhere whenever there was war, and like the Pi Xiu, she only took in money and never gave out. Even the big-eared monster in the stronghold had heard of her wealth.

If other people knew that Xu Lai, a little-known soldier, killed the underground queen who ruled the entire underground world, they would definitely come to cause trouble for him.

Although after killing the Dragon Queen, no one would treat Xu Lai as a nobody anymore.

But it is precisely for this reason that Xu Lai has a second, and most worrying, concern.

Xu Lai has a grudge against the great devil Kerrigan for killing his son. Before this, this cold-blooded great devil still valued the land of the Western Empire.

Now, the Temple and the noble coalition forces have almost completely retreated from the Western Empire in defeat. If the Pope had not personally gone to support them, the Temple coalition forces would have even been completely wiped out in the Western Empire.

Although the demon army needs to rest and the land occupied by the Western Empire also needs to be transformed, the great devil Kerrigan is now in a state without an opponent after all.

Xu Lai was a nobody before, so he could ignore him and deal with him when he had free time.

But if Xu Lai has grown to the point where he can even kill the underground queen, then Xu Lai has reason to doubt whether the six months mentioned by the temple is still reliable.

Elena has returned from the temple. According to Xu Lai's instructions, she copied almost all the intelligence information of the temple and gave it to Xu Lai.

Also included are dungeon maps from various periods, spanning a thousand years.

Of course, the map of the temple is still not complete. Even if it can be pieced together, some maps are thousands of years old, and the topography recorded has changed a lot.

The obelisk map has the ability to change according to the terrain, but this self-drawn map does not have this ability.

But it doesn’t matter. For Xu Lai, the map of the temple is just a supplement, not a necessary factor.

During this week, Jian Yuan had been studying the maps of the underground world collected by Xu Lai. Together with the missing parts of the temple maps, he had already filled in a large part of the underground world.

The most important thing is that Xu Lai killed Muriel, and in Muriel's warehouse, there were several detailed maps of her own territory.

Morrell's map is large and detailed, and most importantly, it is divided into several versions, some of which are specifically for drawing topography, some are specifically for marking wild buildings, and some are specifically for marking wild resources.

As the ruler of the underground world, Muriel certainly needs maps with sufficient details. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know how much territory she owns, so how can she be the queen of the underground world?

However, although Moril's map was clear and detailed enough, it only marked the scope of her own territory and did not map those unknown areas.

For example, on Moril's map, only the maze area was drawn, and the land outside the maze was all foggy.

Perhaps, more than 50 years ago, when Moril imprisoned Reina, she had already reached the edge of the underground world, so she simply set up a maze for guarding.

But 50 years later, due to changes in the topography, part of the underground world was connected to the former edge, catching Muriel off guard.

Before coming here, Muriel probably never expected that she would fail in such a small place.

This also gave Xu Lai a warning. After all, things like war shackles are not divine artifacts. Although they are extremely rare, they should not be the only ones.

If one day he were so careless and was trapped by the shackles of war with only a small number of troops, his end would probably not be any better.

Not to mention magic, even if Xu Lai and his men are invulnerable to swords and guns, they are not true gods.

No matter how powerful a magic weapon is, it has its limit. No matter how brave Xu Lai is, his physical strength is not unlimited.

Surrounded by endless enemies, no matter how powerful Xu Lai is, there is a high probability that he will be worn down to death.

Of course, the probability of this happening is not high. In most cases, if Xu Lai cannot win, he can still run away.

But just like Muriel, if she thinks she can go wherever she wants just because she is leading a dragon army, she might be ambushed by someone one day.

But that's all in the past. The only thing Xu Lai wants to do now is to match the map as soon as possible and dig out the last part of the golden statue of the God of War.

Even with so many maps to complement each other, Xu Lai still locked himself in the room, forgetting to eat or sleep for the whole day.

When he came out, his eyes were frighteningly red. Su Ya quickly brought a hot towel and wanted to give Xu Lai a hot compress.

However, Xu Lai sniffed and said, "What a nice fragrance! This fragrance must be all over the city."

In order to avoid reading the map incorrectly, Xu Lai lit some calming incense in his retreat room.

This thing was made by mages for their own meditation. One costs one gold coin and it only lasts for an hour.

The good thing about this thing is that at least the product can match the version and the effect is really good.

Xu Lai used his brain for the whole day and still felt refreshed.

“According to your instructions, two large carts of dragon meat were delivered to the military camp.

Dragon meat is too hard, so we started cooking it at noon. More than two hours ago, the aroma slowly drifted to the city. I guess when it’s cooked, the aroma will drift to the villages downstream.”

Xu Lai hadn't eaten for a day, and when he smelled the fragrance, he was really hungry.

"Then let's go to the military camp and have some dragon meat."

Including the logistics personnel and the families who came to visit the wounded, Su Ya estimated that there might be many officials who would want to taste the dragon meat. This dragon meat banquet would probably attract about 3 people.

For this purpose, Acid Rain specially sent all the chefs in the castle over to help.

Two large carts of dragon meat are from two whole dragons. If one dragon is bled, skinned, scaled, and gutted, it would weigh at least 4 to 50 tons.

There are no more than 3 people in the camp. Even if the two dragons only have 90 tons of meat, each person can get 3 kilograms.

What's more, Xu Lai was just making a random estimate. No one knew how much meat could be taken out of a giant dragon, and no one weighed it. Anyway, it was at least 4 to 50 tons.

There were only two giant dragons, but the fragrance filled the entire city. Many businessmen were also very curious about the dragon meat and were asking around about how they could get a piece of the pie.

The only one who was dissatisfied was the little holy dragon raised by Xu Lai. This guy ate all kinds of meat, but the only one he wouldn't eat was dragon meat.

Xu Lai drove his carriage to the military camp outside the city with great fanfare.

This is the first time that Xu Lai uses the luxurious carriage that Su Ya prepared for him.

It was also the first time that it was done seriously, with paladins leading the way in front and behind, and guarding the rear; holy light knights guarding on the left and right, and angels accompanying from the sky.

Six tall white horses, which were snow-white without any other colors, pulled a luxurious carriage that spanned two lanes and walked leisurely out of the city.

In the past, Xu Lai never cared about ostentation. He believed that money should be spent on meaningful things. He did this today, firstly to show his strength to the outside world, and secondly because he was too excited and didn't want to spoil the fun of others.

Su Ya and her friends’ biggest hobby is Xu Lai. Making him happy and comfortable is what they like to do most.

In this world, there is no such thing as dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground.

But this was also the first time Xu Lai ate dragon meat.

How should I put it, the meat is a bit tough and hard to chew, but it’s rich in energy.

With Xu Lai's current physical condition, if he really wanted to eat, his appetite would be much more exaggerated than that of ferocious beasts such as lions, tigers and leopards.

What Xu Lai and his companions ate, of course, was not the big stew that the soldiers ate. Instead, the cook specially brought in from the castle cut the meat into one centimeter thick slices, fried both sides until golden brown, and then served it to them.

It was very fragrant but not very juicy. However, after eating a piece of steak, Xu Lai actually felt a little full.

A whole piece of meat, weighing about one or two pounds, is usually just enough to whet your appetite.

Those sitting below Xu Lai were all officers from the barracks. The officials from the city sat at a separate table and did not mix with these people.

Although we can eat as much dragon meat as we want today, we can only drink a little wine. Each soldier will be given one glass of wine as a celebration of our escape from death.

However, no officer in the big tent drank alcohol because Xu Lai took the lead in refusing to drink.

Since the leader Xu Lai refused, others had to endure it no matter how greedy they were.

The soldiers can be more unrestrained, but Xu Lai, the leaders, are very strict.

"Is it enough to continue resting for a day tomorrow?"

Another great gift that Elena brought back from the Holy City was a team of more than one hundred priests.

These are not recruited priests or priest apprentices, but official priests, priests and bishops who can preside over every village or town.

At a time when the temple was so short-staffed, they were able to send so many priests to Xu Lai. This was enough to prove that Bishop Crimson did not lie to him and was indeed betting on Xu Lai.

Each of these more than one hundred priests has the ability to treat minor injuries, and the priests and bishops can even treat serious injuries and regenerate severed limbs.

With Xu Lai's support, most of the seriously injured soldiers had recovered by the end of the day.

"I have already made arrangements. Everyone will rest in the camp for half a day tomorrow morning. We will start light training in the afternoon and officially start the operation the day after tomorrow."

It’s not that Xu Lai is unwilling to give the Qingfeng Legion more time, but time waits for no one.

Muriel's death will inevitably cause chaos in the underground world.

If he doesn't take this opportunity to seize the underground city and resources, will they come to seek revenge on him after the chaos ends and a stable order is re-established?
Moril underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. Would the other forces in the dungeon underestimate the force that even killed the Dragon Queen?
If Xu Lai does not take action now, the next thing he will encounter might be the underground city coalition forces that can flatten him with just catapults.

Xu Lai nodded and said, "You have been to Dakehor last time. After what happened last time, Dakehor's military strength should be the weakest.

We will use this as the dividing line. At most, after destroying Darkhor, you must return.

If you really think there is an opportunity, wait until you return, rest for a while, and quickly build the elf city for me before you go to raid the dungeon.

Elena should have told you the relevant information. If things don't go well, we will have to fight the great devil Kerrigan in half a year.

Before that, we must accumulate enough strength. It will be too late to just destroy without building."

Reina nodded in understanding and said, "Don't worry, even with the logistics team, our transportation capacity is limited.

I think within a month, the Qingfeng Corps should be able to come back and participate in the construction."

Xu Lai smiled and said, "Build and practice at the same time. Ed and Silver Wing are all elves. After you build the city, you can let them do the subsequent construction.

I want to take the overall strength of the Qingfeng Army to a higher level within the next six months."

After all, the Qingfeng Legion is mainly composed of new recruits. After two large-scale battles, the soldiers have advanced at a very fast speed.

But even with the recruitment of soldiers, the average level still hovers around level 4-5.

This advancement speed is already very exaggerated, but Xu Lai still thinks it is not enough.

Half a year later, Xu Lai required that the Qingfeng Legion must have a minimum of level 5 and an average of level 6, and that high-level warriors above level 7 must be formed into a large number.

Reina licked her lips and said, "I don't have any other questions, just whether I can borrow Giselle and her Phantom Shooter."

Xu Lai looked at Reina and shook his head, saying, "I can't give you all of them. I can only give you the ones that haven't been upgraded yet and the 7th-level Phantom Shooter.

Phantom Sword Master, I have to stay and guard Mingyue City."

After the Qingfeng Legion leaves, Xu Lai will definitely transfer the Swordsman Legion led by Dill to come up. Otherwise, Qingfeng City will not have physical soldiers patrolling for a long time, which may cause some trouble.

Most of the original swordsman legion had now advanced to become crusaders. Even if Xu Lai took away half of them, their combat effectiveness would not be reduced much.

At the same time, after obtaining countless wealth, Xu Lai once again raised the price of purchasing and recruiting soldiers in the market.

After the price increase this time, even long-range archers and crossbowmen could not help but sell them.

The shooter has the opportunity to be trained by Giselle to become a phantom shooter with Xu Lai, so Xu Lai inhumanely raised the shooter's price by 20%.

It just so happened that the Qingfeng City Auction House was able to use the opportunity of promoting the sale of large quantities of dragon meat, dragon skin, and dragon scales to attract merchants from all over the country through the capital's teleportation array.

Once Xu Lai posted this demand, it is estimated that many people would find ways to recruit soldiers and rush to Qingfeng City.

Just as Xu Lai and Lena were discussing the marching route and various siege matters.

Outside the main tent of Xu Lai and his men, countless soldiers drank bowl after bowl of dragon meat soup. The soup contained nothing but dragon meat and solidified dragon blood. There was almost no sight of the usual steamed buns served with the soup.

Today, Xu Lai wants all the soldiers to eat as much dragon meat as they want.

As these new and old soldiers devoured dragon meat and dragon blood, the restrictions on their bodies were released as the energy of the dragon meat was released.

Xu Lai's central military tent was open, so he could see from time to time a brilliant golden light rising from the camp.

Xu Lai, who had already inquired about it clearly, knew that those were soldiers who had accumulated full experience points during the previous battle but were unable to advance due to physical limitations.

Originally, the current level should be the upper limit for those who have low talents or hidden diseases.

However, this dragon meat feast changed the fate of these people.

The civilians on the grasslands may not even have enough to eat, not to mention that most of those who came to Qingfeng City to join the army had their homes destroyed, or were once hired farmers or even slaves.

These people cannot possibly be without hidden injuries. Without the help of a priest to repair and recuperate, level 3 or 4 is usually their limit. (End of this chapter)
