The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

"Your Majesty, these are the signatures of the treaty from the 132 chiefs, chieftains, clan leaders, city lords, etc. present. Please have a look."

Inside the big tent, a voice was heard, a name that Xu Lai was not used to.

"I won't look at the signatures. Since you are the chief magic consultant, it shouldn't be difficult to copy these things into hundreds of copies and post them in every underground city, right?

Also, you can just call me Lord, just like my people, and don’t mention His Majesty in the future.”

It is not a very honorable thing to become the king of the underground world. After all, no creature on the surface can look down on the creatures underground.

Xu Lai himself did not have any discrimination in his heart, but if he let others know that he was a lord who only controlled a few cities, but had already proclaimed himself king underground, he would most likely be laughed at.

The most important thing is that Xu Lai’s own mentality has not yet changed from an ordinary person to a hero, to a lord, and then to a king.

Simply put, he hasn't been able to adapt to this new identity.

Jones and the others don't care, it's just a name after all.

"That's certainly no problem."

Xu Lai nodded and said, "Have you counted the wild buildings on the territory?

There should still be recruitment quotas for this month, but with only two days left, it may not be too late.

I won’t punish you if you fail to complete the quota this month, but you must recruit people for the three buildings I have highlighted.”

The three buildings that Xu Lai circled were naturally the three top-level wild recruitment buildings, a wild cloud city, a wild cloud palace and a wild phoenix nest.

The output of top-level recruitment buildings is not high and cannot be accumulated. Unless something unexpected happens, there is only one quota.

If it's a three-seater, it won't cost much except that it's a little troublesome.

“If it’s just these three buildings, there shouldn’t be much of a problem, but Lord, due to the current chaotic environment in the dungeon, many lords took the opportunity to declare independence after Queen Moril’s death.

Do you think that in the next few months, we can also make appropriate reductions and exemptions?"

Xu Lai narrowed his eyes, and Jones and others hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Considering that what Jones and the others said is also the current reality of the underground city, Xu Lai thought about it and said:

"Appropriate reductions are acceptable. Next month, I require a recruitment rate of at least 60%, and the month after that, 80%. There will be no reductions in the third month.

In addition, I need you to complete the outdoor construction of the Empire camp first, is there any problem?"

Several people shook their heads. Xu Lai gave them three months. If they still couldn't take over the recruitment points of the Empire, Barrier, Elements and other camps that no one wanted in the underground, it would be a bit unreasonable.

“Then let’s first determine the specific situation. Although there is a record on Moril’s map, it is not detailed.

I need to know how many of these field recruitment points there are and what recruitment buildings they are.

The map space is limited, so it is certainly impossible and unnecessary for cartographers to work hard on outdoor buildings in non-underground camps.

At most some advanced, top-level buildings, with a little record keeping.

For the rest, just mark the camp and tell the Queen that this is useless to us.

“The specific building is still unknown, but according to common sense, the higher the level of the building, the rarer it is. In addition, the underground is not the main venue of the Empire and other factions.

We estimate that the empire's 30-plus field buildings should be able to recruit at least one 1th-level angel, 7 10th-level knights, 6 30th-level priests, 5 60th-level swordsmen, more than 4 archers and crossbowmen, and about 120 infantry, spearmen, peasants, etc. "

Xu Lai thought about it and decided that this should be the general data.

However, in addition to these field recruitment locations, there are many other places where warriors can be obtained.

For example, treasure houses in the wild can often reveal mid- and high-level warriors.

For example, buildings like refugee camps will also have soldiers from other camps flocking in.

At that moment, Xu Lai said: "Then I will temporarily set this standard. If you can obtain warriors from my empire camp through other channels, I will return you twice the price of your recruitment fee.

At this price, even the merchants on the ground are willing to do this business.

You control so many underground passages, and if you go to other places, you should be able to obtain a lot of soldiers from the Empire camp."

Xu Lai knows very well that only long-term interests can truly move people's hearts.

The things he obtained from the dungeon were not a serious blow to the entire dungeon camp.

If they continue to trade properly with Xu Lai, they will not make less money. If the total transaction volume is high enough, they may be able to make up for their losses and even make some profit.

Of course, Xu Lai can also recruit and utilize those useless dungeon buildings in the ground world for a second time, and he will earn even more.

After the specific amount of tribute was determined, the matter of the dungeon was basically completed.

Xu Lai did not station troops in the dungeon, only Lena's team pushed all the way to Darkhor.

The city of Darkhor was also directly abandoned by the underground city at Xu Lai's suggestion.

After a few days, after flattening Darkhor, Xu Lai would only have troops stationed in Mingyue City.

As for that part of the army, it is difficult to even protect itself. If something really happens in the underground city, it is unlikely to rely on Mingyue City.

Although both parties signed the contract, it is hard to say whether the other party will recognize it once Xu Lai leaves.

But there was no other way, Xu Lai could only wait.

He can't just beat someone up for no reason when the other person is behaving well. That would be so presumptuous.

However, in order to show their sincerity, these people in the underground city did not let Xu Lai return empty-handed.

In addition to soldiers, Xu Lai also required the underground camp to hand over 200 million gold coins and 5 units of rare resources every year.

As a result, these things were delivered to Xu Lai within the time it took him to finish dinner, in just half a day.

This means that either people have made preparations in advance, or this amount of money and resources is really nothing to the dungeon.

Xu Lai's guess was not entirely correct. The main reason why they were able to deliver supplies to the dungeon so quickly was because Morrell left behind a large amount of supplies.

Just as Jilong had refuted before, the supplies left by Moriel were enough to sustain the dungeon for many years.

What he was right about was that this amount of money and resources was really nothing for the dungeon.

But it was a free gift anyway, and he also got more than a hundred soldiers from field buildings. The recruitment cost of these soldiers alone was a huge sum of money.

Not to mention, these soldiers were recruited by special people and sent to Xu Lai.

You know, although Xu Lai offered Jones and others a price twice the recruitment fee.

Excluding transportation costs, they have a full double profit.

But in Qingfeng City, he had already raised the price to three times the recruitment price, and even with this he could only buy infantrymen, spearmen and the like that others didn't want.

The prices of cavalry, archers, and crossbowmen will all be tripled, with some additional costs added to the price.

Even if the recruitment price is calculated at three times, the dozens of outdoor buildings in the empire alone will save Xu Lai millions of gold coins every month.

In addition to the elements and barriers, there are also the costs of mobilizing personnel and transportation. Although the price is much lower than the tribute alone, it is a more cost-effective option for both parties.

After dinner, Xu Lai continued to recover his strength.

The basis for using the Gate of Time and Space is a large amount of physical strength.

However, before returning to Qingfeng City, Xu Lai needs to reward the heroes of this trip.

He never liked verbal rewards, and it just so happened that the people from the dungeon sent him this year's tribute.

Xu Lai took out one of the two giant gold coin boxes sent from the dungeon and handed it to Jilong.

"What are you doing?"

Jilong looked puzzled. This gold coin box was much larger than the ordinary Viktoria gold coin box and had a much larger capacity.

This giant gold coin box costs 5 gold coins alone and can store a full 100 million gold coins.

Watching Xu Lai handing over the gold coin box, Jones opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed silently in his heart and said nothing.

These two gold coin boxes were originally used by him to facilitate the transportation of gold coins. After all, if ordinary boxes were used, 2 million gold coins would have to be loaded onto dozens of trucks.

But looking at the current situation, let alone the gold coin box, I am afraid he won’t be able to get back his more expensive supply box that can hold 10 units of resources.

"Rewards are given for merits and punishments are given for faults. This is what you deserve."

Jilong's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he said in horror: "One, one million gold coins, this, this is too much, my lord."

“It’s not much, but sometimes, your few key words can play a huge role.

Besides, you did a lot for me when you were in Fort Conaston.

I didn't reward you back then, so I'm making up for it this time. If you follow me in the future, you'll probably have to endure a lot of hardships."

Jilong lowered his head in shame and said, "This is what I should do. You have already rewarded my father greatly when we were in Kornaston Castle."

Xu Lai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let's put things in perspective. Your father is your father, and you are you.

Anyone who works hard to help me should be rewarded, not to mention that you have made great contributions."

Then Xu Lai said to Jones: “It’s the same with all of you. Don’t think that you are from the underground city and I won’t reward you for your contribution.

Here, as long as you sincerely submit to me, I will sincerely give you shelter."

Jones and others quickly bowed in response.

Xu Lai waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone go back first. The underground city has been in quite a mess recently.

I will be leaving here soon. Before I leave, please exchange your magic communications with my adjutant, Mr. Jilong.

I keep my word. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, you can always ask me for help.

But the premise is definitely not that you bully others and then get beaten up by them."

After instructing the dungeon creatures and having a good rest, Xu Lai created a time and space gate and took Elvy and the others directly back to Mingyue City.

Reina's troops have not returned so quickly. Xu Lai is sure to take over Darkhor and all the nearby towns, villages, mines and various resource points.

But he didn't want much, just the territory of a main city, less than one percent of the dungeon camp.

Although a main city is precious, the people in the dungeon are unwilling to give up, and Lena will be able to take it down in the end. It just takes a little more time.

Leave Jilong behind to pick up Lena, and explain to Dill the agreement between Xu Lai and the dungeon.

Xu Lai took Yu Lan and hurried back to the ground.

I had originally planned to spend three to five days at most on this trip, but I didn't expect it to take more than two weeks.

Fortunately, the progress has been smooth in the past two weeks.

After the dungeon conquered those chiefs and patriarchs, there was basically no trouble.

The subsequent conferring of the title of the Underground King, the succession ceremony, the worship ceremony and the like can be postponed or even not held at all.

Anyway, Xu Lai and those guys in the dungeon don’t care about these things.

They only recognize fists, and they will listen to whoever has the bigger fist.

However, after Xu Lai told Su Ya about this, she firmly disagreed.

The current situation is special. According to the temple, it is really a matter of life and death. She agreed to postpone it, but she would never agree to Xu Lai ruling the dungeon without any name or status.

Of course, this is something.

At this time, Xu Lai hurried back to Qingfeng City, gave Su Ya, Gisele and others a brief hug, and then quickly summoned Bai Yang out.

Xu Lai had really waited long enough for this day. If there was a chance, he would definitely assemble the golden statue of the God of War before the New Year.

“Why don’t we just wait one more day? Tomorrow is the last day of this month, and the day after tomorrow is the official New Year.

Why don't we wait until tomorrow and invite all the people in the city to come and watch the ceremony to celebrate our first New Year."

After hearing this, Xu Lai shook his head and said, "If that's the case, we might as well wait until next year. It's only two days anyway.

But I can't stand it any longer, so let's synthesize it now while it's dark and it won't disturb anyone."

Bai Yang moved slowly, but his steps were big. After waiting for a few minutes, Bai Yang had already arrived at the castle.

After forming the golden statue of the God of War, Xu Lai had no need to hide anything.

He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. Xu Lai had a hunch that this super artifact made up of all divine weapons must be earth-shattering.

The fact was just as he expected, when Baiyang retracted the branches wrapped around the golden statue of the God of War and handed over the pair of hands of the God of War.

Under the dark night sky, a ray of golden light that seemed to be tangible gathered above the entire Qingfeng City, illuminating Qingfeng City as if it were daytime.

This scene, not to mention Qingfeng City, can probably be seen throughout the grassland, and even the nearby Northern Empire, Western Empire, and even the stronghold.

The dazzling golden light made it impossible for people to open their eyes, but Xu Lai was the only one who was not affected at all by this light.
