The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Chapter 573 The Underground King

As soon as Xu Lai said this, everyone present fell silent.

Only Jilong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said to Xu Lai:
“That’s right, the underground queen Moril not only wants tribute from the dungeon dwellers, but also wants them to provide soldiers to fight for her.

All you need is a little money and resources from them, which is already very kind to them.”

"If you are sure you want to do this, please let me talk to them." Elvy frowned and stood up.

Xu Lai knew why they disagreed with him negotiating with the underground city. In the final analysis, it was because they didn't bring many people this time and were worried about safety issues.

However, Xu came to see Morrell's territorial map. The map was too large, so it was definitely impossible to see it all clearly.

But Xu Lai has looked at most of the resources and buildings that are helpful to the Imperial camp.

Although the resources in the dungeon are not abundant, compared with the empire, it has a larger territory, although most of the territory is not habitable.

The dungeons do not have much demand for gems, crystals and other resources that the empire needs, and the crystal mines and gem lakes in the wild are almost all in a state of no one collecting them.

In addition, there are countless wild buildings in the vast wilderness, among which the most are related to the dungeon camp, but there are also many buildings from other camps such as the empire, fortress, tower, etc.

Xu Lai has the Angel Alliance. The greatest function of this artifact is not that it can automatically release the ultimate prayer when a war breaks out, but that it can exempt the morale loss caused by multiple camps.

Therefore, Xu Lai does not need to focus only on the buildings of the Empire camp for recruitment, but can also choose troops from other camps.

The characteristic arms of the Empire are knights, but the Ramparts have powerful ranged troops, which have stronger defense than heavy shield infantry and can entangle the enemy's meat shield dryads.

Not to mention the tower, the strongest mage and the Titan, the strongest long-range shooter, are all in the tower.

In the swamp, there are Hydras that are invincible in melee combat, as well as Bulls that even Xu Lai is afraid of. Elemental creatures can be ignored for the time being because they can be summoned with spells.

But magic cannot summon the fastest immortal phoenix in the world.

It is a stronghold, and there are also powerful flying creatures, Thunderbirds, and the most powerful physical warrior, Behemoth.

These special types of troops, the ultimate types of troops, can all be found in corresponding field buildings in the vast underground space.

However, it was impossible for Xu Lai to send troops to occupy these outdoor buildings.

Even if he occupied it, it would be impossible for him to recruit every month. With such a vast territory, even if he was very fast, it would take him at least several months to cover all these outdoor buildings.

After all, he can't fly, so he has to take a detour to some places. No matter how well he plans the route, it is impossible for him to complete the whole journey.

But the people in the dungeon are different. Their nobles and heroes are distributed in every corner and region.

If they assist, all he needs to do is recruit these soldiers and gather them in one city. Xu Lai can then go and collect them once a month.

Although these recruitment buildings in the wild do not have any bonuses, their numbers are too large to be ignored.

Although there are relatively few recruitment buildings for top-level troops, there are quite a few mid-level troops like Barbarian Bulls.

Xu Lai thought about it for a long time and couldn't bear to let go of these soldiers, who were lost in vain every month.

Since Morrell can become the queen of the underground, why can't he, who defeated Morrell and only needed the people of the dungeon to pay some tributes that they didn't really need, become the king of the dungeon?

Unifying the dungeon is not an easy task, because there are many tribes in the dungeon, and there are several Tauren tribes alone.

In addition, there are the Medusa, Poison Eye and Harpy tribes, which are also considered large tribes.

It is by no means an easy task to make so many tribes obedient and submit to Xu Lai.

For others, even if they were strong enough, it would take several years just to wipe out these underground tribes, so they couldn't even think about it.

However, Xu Lai has another advantage, which is speed.

His predecessor, the underground queen Muriel, set a good example for him, and he just had to follow it.

Xu Lai smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I want to negotiate with them, but we don't want them to condescend to talk to us. We want them to beg us to talk to us."

"Beg to talk to us? They don't even dare to see us now, so why would they come to talk to us?" Elvy asked puzzled.

"That's because they are not in enough pain. Once they are in severe pain, they will naturally come to us." Xu Lai said firmly.

When everyone heard what Xu Lai said, they naturally understood what Xu Lai meant. He had already made up his mind.

However, before Xu Lai brought up this topic, he was actually hesitant.

Although this underground trip accomplished its intended goal, it was generally not smooth.

There are many twists and turns before entering the dungeon's sphere of influence.

After entering the underground city, Xu Lai had to be even more cautious.

The reason why he summoned so many fire elements along the way was because he saw the special items of the dungeon heroes in the underground city at the entrance.

Xu Zi thought that his own attack power must be far superior to Hua Ying and others, but he did not see the durability limit of the dungeon.

In his heart, he was still very wary of this thing.

Although this thing doesn't directly control them, it will greatly restrict their movements. If more bone dungeons are stacked on top of each other, it's hard to say how long they will be restricted.

Even if there are only one or two of these things, it would be enough to limit Xu Lai's time until a high-level sorcerer could come and cast a spell.

If such a situation really happened, Xu Lai would be in great danger, so he always kept hundreds of fire elements with him at all times.

Even though the existence of these fire elements would slow down his speed.

But after all, when walking underground, you still need to explore the way first, and it actually doesn’t take much time.

The Dungeon faction should not be considered popular, and there should not be many heroes descending, at least not comparable to factions like the Empire and the Bastion.

But in one camp, I wouldn’t dare to think of tens of thousands of heroes, but there must be hundreds of them.

If Xu Lai really wants to take the initiative to attack, the risk he will take is still very high.

But without taking risks, there will be no gains.

It would be more accurate to say that Xu Lai was convincing himself rather than questioning Elvy and the others.

I had already had enough rest before, so this time, I just took a simple rest, ate some hot meals, and then got back to work.

Xu Lai never has enough time. He is doing things almost all the time and always wants to break one minute into two minutes.

This time, Xu Lai couldn't afford to leave much time for a sudden change of mind.

Before the end of the month, he would return to Qingfeng City and attach the pair of hands of the God of War to the golden statue of the God of War.

At the same time, after he made his decision, he did not forget to inform Suya, Lena and others.

If he didn't go home for a long time, he would definitely inform Suya first. And he informed Reina so that she would cooperate with his actions.

If you want to make the dungeon race surrender, it is far from enough to just hurt them.

They must be made to know that they have the ability to deal with them, to occupy their cities, and to reduce them all to slaves.

Simply slaughtering some civilians would not make the underground nobles feel pain.

Only by making the ruling class feel afraid will they be likely to surrender.

Like they are now, every time Xu Lai arrives in a city, these dungeon creatures either hide or run away.

Xu Lai's Doomsday Judgment is like throwing your eyebrows and eyes to a blind man.

Following Xu Lai's instructions, Lena raised her own Poseidon flag, as well as Xu Lai's knight flag and the flag representing Qingfeng City.

Of course, the latter two have no magical powers and cannot bring any blessings.

The purpose of raising these two flags is to tell the underground people who see these two flags that Reina's troops are in the same group as Xu Lai.

In addition to raising the flag, Reina also changed her previous battle strategy and directly destroyed the city in the dungeon after conquering it.

In order to facilitate the occupation of the underground city, Reina would first occupy the city, then close all the city gates and kill all the underground species in the city.

If we don't kill them, they will escape to the city behind, and they will leak the information of Reina's troops and key expertise attributes.

They themselves will also become the guards of the next city.

The more people you let go at the beginning, the more difficult it will be for yourself later.

Of course, it is also possible that those who fled in the front spread the panic and morale to the rear, making it possible for the rear to surrender without a fight.

But anyway, it can increase experience and reduce trouble, so generally speaking, Reina just kills them all.

As a native resident of this world and a witness to the underground city's ambush, he was also imprisoned by the people in the underground city for more than 50 years.

Reina's anger towards the dungeon even exceeded that towards her old enemy, the Undead.

In such a situation, it would be useless to kill all these underground species.

Even if there is no benefit, as long as Xu Lai doesn't mind, Lena would rather spend more time to kill all these guys.

However, this time, in order to cooperate with Xu Lai's overall strategy and to repay Xu Lai's various favors, Lena chose to restrain her emotions.

In the following days of siege, she adopted the strategy of surrounding the city on three sides and leaving one side open, intentionally leaving an escape route for the underground species.

Even if some of them didn't have time to escape, after being caught, she would no longer kill them directly, but deliberately let them go.

These underground species will spread the idea that Xu Lai just wants the residents of the underground city to surrender, not to deprive them of their right to rule.

Lena even followed Xu Lai's instructions and told these underground species that there was no need for them to confront Xu Lai.

Xu Lai attacked the dungeon, firstly to avenge her, Lena, and secondly because their queen, Moril, took the initiative to attack Xu Lai, so they came to take revenge.

As long as the residents of the underground city are willing to pay a certain price, Xu Lai is willing to forgive them.

Even the price does not need to be too high, at least it will not have much impact on the interests of the underground nobles.

As for whether those underground nobles believed it or not, that was none of Lena's business.

She just did what Xu Lai told her to do. Whether they believed it or not, it had nothing to do with her.

Even Lena would rather they didn't believe it, as this would give her the opportunity to wipe out all these underground bugs.

With the continuous fighting, the combat effectiveness of the Qingfeng Legion not only did not suffer any loss, but increased more and more.

On the one hand, it is because of the continuous acquisition of experience and the improvement of qualifications by dragon meat, which leads to the improvement of level.

On the other hand, combat is used as training to train these new recruits joining the army as quickly as possible.

The improvement of rank, the elimination of awkwardness, the increase of tacit understanding and practical experience will naturally make this team stronger and stronger.

From this perspective, Reina hopes to have continuous battles, and it would be best if there are enough battles for her to train the Qingfeng Legion into a top-level legion.

Anyway, Xu Lai will not be stingy with the money for upgrading.

Even if Xu Lai was unable to supply her with supplies while out fighting, Lena could just use the looted resources first, and Xu Lai wouldn't mind.

Reina is just cooperating, and Xu Lai's idea of ​​becoming the king of the underground must be realized by himself.

What Xu Lai did was also very simple. He just strolled around near big cities and then made a Doomsday judgment.

There are not many people and nobles in the small city. If they must hide, Xu Lai really has no good solution.

But in big cities, even if some of the top nobles can hide, what about their families, relatives and friends? Can they all hide?

Even if they could all be hidden, how many cavemen would be needed to support a large city, and how many warriors would be needed to guard it?

Xu Lai was indiscriminate, not even approaching the city, and cast spells outside of others' range.

The dungeon warriors can either choose to fight in the wild to prevent Xu Lai from getting close to the city, or they can only use their own flesh and blood to bear the consumption of Xu Lai's mana.

Xu Lai was not in a hurry at all. Even if his plan failed this time, he could try again next time.

But if you make a mistake and fall into the trap in the dungeon, there may not be another chance.

Therefore, he would rather waste a lot of space than get close to these cities.

Moreover, in each city, he only released one round of Doomsday Judgment, and then ran away, moving to another location after firing a shot.

He is forcing now, not clearing out these cities.

Xu Lai wanted to make these underground nobles feel real pain, but he couldn't defeat them completely at once, lest they would rather die than surrender or die together with their loved ones.

With Morrell's territory map in hand, Xu Lai did not approach those heavily defended military fortresses, and he even avoided the twelve main cities.

On the one hand, they are cautious, and on the other hand, they are constantly putting pressure on these underground nobles until they are completely crushed.

What Xu Lai didn't know was that his practice of moving from one place to another after shooting was also causing headaches for these underground nobles.

Because they had been beaten into submission long ago, but they couldn't even find anyone to admit defeat and beg for mercy.

Finally, they contacted Xu Lai through Reina and asked Reina to tell Xu Lai that they were willing to admit defeat and submit. (End of this chapter)
