The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Nearly 200 angels, the lowest of which were level 8, caused great chaos on the city wall.

Whether it is an archangel or a seraph, with the blessing of Elvy, the damage is extremely high, and even the 8th-level black dragon with the bonus of Moril can break the defense.

There were many people on the walls of Aini, but there were not many high-ranking soldiers.

The royal guards with the highest defense, including the captain of the guards, all surrounded Aini.

Xu Lai didn't let Elvy kill Aini by force. He had heard about the battle between the orcs and the empire before.

This old bastard Aini not only set up a large trap around him, but also tied up the flying troops in the stronghold.

He also ambushed many stealth assassins such as assassination masters and hunters.

This trick had worked wonders against the stronghold before, and Xu Lai would not let his precious angel take risks.

The fact was just as Xu Lai had expected. In addition to the royal guards and the captain of the guards, Aini also had a large number of assassins around him.

These people have extremely poor defense capabilities and low health points, but their attack power is terrifyingly strong, and most of them have the ability to ignore defense, so they can hurt anyone.

In addition to these assassins, Aini also kept the trap plan provided by the tower mages.

He knew that Xu Lai would not let him go, so he prepared all the materials for the trap early and asked his chief magician to set it up before letting him go to the stronghold.

Otherwise, his collusion with the orcs in the stronghold could have happened at least a month earlier, and the orcs might have invaded during the New Year.

It’s a pity that those angels from Xu Lai didn’t even come close. They all scattered to deal with their own catapults.

Although the catapults in this castle are ordinary, the pyroblasts they use are not ordinary.

This thing costs one thousand gold coins each. It will explode when thrown out. Its power is like that of a rocket. Even with the ultimate defense and ultimate resistance protecting your body, it is still difficult to withstand.

It’s a pity that Xu Lai’s troops are not large, and his catapults and operators are not top-notch.

Otherwise, if it exploded directly in the crowd like it did when it hit the orcs, Xu Lai's more than 5000 people would not be enough to withstand a few rounds of bombardment.

But now that Seraphim is here, those controlling them are a group of militiamen who not only have no fighting power at all, but these people also dare not attack Seraphim at all.

The angels spread their wings, and the militiamen and civilians beside the catapults ran away with a loud bang.

Aini was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't stop more people from escaping.

Especially when the mercenaries, wearing the holy armor for more than a minute, climbed up the city wall from the long ladder, more people dropped their weapons and ran away.

The Aini family was unpopular to begin with. The army at least still had its morale, but those civilians were all abducted, so none of them would be willing to fight for Aini.

It's actually not a big deal if the civilians run away. At most it will affect the supply speed for the ongoing battle. Anyway, there are phantom archers under the city, and no one dares to push those ladders.

With hundreds of high-level Phantom Swordmasters and Phantom Sharpshooters, the number of arrow shadows is more terrifying than that of Eini's archer group of thousands of people.

Aini's archers are protected by the city walls, but their range, power, and even numbers are far inferior to those phantom archers.

After the mercenaries climbed up the city wall, even the mercenaries hired by Eini were no match for them.

There was no other reason. Xu Lai outside the city held up his prophet's sword high, and the light of ultimate prayer had already fallen on everyone's head.

After suppressing the archers on the city wall and making them dare not show up, the mages and priests, under the command of Yu Lan and Elena, approached the city wall.

Healing light continued to fall, and from time to time, flame rays and ice rays were shot out, with terrifying power.

Under the situation of being completely suppressed, Aini had to take action and use strategic spells first.

Without much hesitation, Aini blinded the eyes and cast a shadow over the heads of the phantom shooters.

By controlling this group of shooters, Aini's own shooters will be able to emerge.

Even if we cannot defeat the mercenaries climbing up the city wall, it will be good news as long as we can repel the priests and mages under the city.

Without the output of the mage and the treatment of the priest, there is only a group of mercenaries with weak output capabilities and far fewer in number than their own mercenaries. Sooner or later they will be driven off the city wall.

It’s a pity that blindness is a fire spell, and Aini has no bonus from fire magic, so he can only select one troop at most.

Xu Lai is now in an advantageous position, so he is not in a hurry to cast spells. Instead, he wants to strike back and counter the opponent's moves.

Aini threw a blindness spell, and Xu Lai returned it with a healing spell, which not only restored the shooter's life lost during the shooting, but also removed his own negative status.

Aini wasn't surprised to see that his blindness had no effect.

Hell excels at fire and dark spells, while the Empire excels at water and holy light spells.

Dispelling magic and healing magic happen to be within the range of spells that the empire is good at, so it is not surprising that Xu Lai can use them.

However, after Xu Lai finished releasing the healing spell, Aini took out a spell scroll from his arms and decisively tore it into pieces.

Master Level [Dispersion Technique]: Eliminate the influence of magic attached to all troops.

Aini had noticed the golden light on these people a long time ago. He had seen the prayer spell, and Dur had presided over this spell in the past.

The existence of this layer of golden light can cause extremely terrifying damage and speed to both mercenaries and archers.

Especially those phantom archers. Even the continuous shooting of their own crossbowmen and archers could not match the terrifying speed of those phantom archers.

Phantom Archers have agility as their specialty, and their level is high, generally level 7 or 8, with the bonus of super speed and prayer, so they are naturally extremely terrifying.

It is really hard for ordinary people to imagine that a mere few hundred shooters could suppress an army that is ten times larger than their own and that also has a strong geographical advantage.

The point is, even if Aini is willing to fight back and take casualties, he can't do it.

Even with the blessing of the city wall, our shooter can't even break the opponent's shooter's defense without a critical hit. There is no luck blessing this month, resulting in extremely poor output ability.

In fact, this is basically due to the huge attribute gap between the two sides, as well as the bonus brought by the morale of both sides.

The ultimate prayer is just the icing on the cake.

A blue light flashed, and all the buffs and debuffs of everyone on the battlefield were cleared.

Seeing this, Xu Lai also said: "If I had known earlier, I would have released it later, and saved me a chance to cast a spell."

Yu Lan smiled and said, "If you don't release it, he will definitely prefer to control our shooter and will never release this dispelling method."

Xu Lai shrugged and said, "I just feel a little bit wronged. This guy actually competed with me in financial strength."

Xu Lai was too lazy to purchase the basic spell scrolls himself, so Wei Yihong and the others were in charge.

In Xu Lai's space backpack, there were a lot of high-level spell scrolls seized from various high-difficulty wars. Any one of them would be far more advanced than this master-level dispelling technique.

However, he did not intend to waste too much and also selected a low-level spell scroll. However, this spell would be very useful even after the battle was over.

What appeared in Xu Lai's hand was a khaki spell scroll.

And when Xu Lai tore it open, a yellow halo directly enveloped the entire city.

This is an ultimate slowing method that can directly cover the entire enemy army, reducing their basic movement speed and attack speed by a quarter. Since the slowing method reduces the basic movement speed, if the enemy has talents such as speed or specializations such as logistics, it will be reduced more.

Between the accelerated attack and the slow attack, Xu Lai chose the slow attack.

Because this spell will continue to affect all enemies unless it is dispelled.

Others didn't care, but Xu Lai was afraid that Eni would escape again. This guy had escaped from Lena before.

And because of the effect of the slowing down technique, if Aini wanted to run away, Xu Lai would be more likely to find him and catch him.

Sure enough, as soon as the slow-down technique was put into effect, Aini suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, as if several hundred pounds of weight had been added to his body out of thin air.

The most important thing is that this slowing-down technique also greatly affected the secret moves he had made.

Although those dark assassins are in an invisible state, they are still affected by the slowness technique.

If they were attacked at this time, he was afraid that it would be too late to mobilize rescue.

Eni could clearly feel the eager gaze on the city wall.

Even without considering the powerful angel Elvy, the formation of their own mercenaries and infantry became increasingly precarious due to the support of the enemy's mages and the mercenaries' desperate charge.

The battle had just begun, from the time the first boulder was thrown, to less than half an hour, more than three thousand soldiers had been killed, and the number of civilians who escaped was incalculable.

There is really no way. Although our own military strength has a huge advantage, the combat effectiveness is far from perfect.

Seeing that morale has dropped below 50, if you want to remove the effect of the slow spell, you must at least wait until the next opportunity to cast the spell.

Another defeat seemed inevitable, but Aini seemed hesitant about whether to escape again.

This city has its own guards, and he is in charge. The soldiers recruited in the past few months are also in this castle.

If he still escapes under such circumstances, then retreating to another city will only mean another defeat, and a more miserable one than this one.

There was no hope of escaping to another city. If he really wanted to survive, he could only give up the grassland and see if there were any nobles somewhere else who could take him in.

This hope is not great. Aini doesn't know anyone in the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire, which have nothing to do with Xu Lai.

In the Western Empire, where he had more friends, all the people he knew had died long ago. Even if there were still some who were still alive, it would be okay for him to take them in. What could they use to take him in?

The ruler of the Northern Empire is said to owe Xu Lai a big favor, so it might not be a good choice for him to defect to him.

And if the Northern Empire does not choose, then they can only join the orcs.

However, the treatment you can receive if you surrender to the orcs as a ruler and if you join the orcs as a loser is completely different.

What's more, given the orcs' cruel nature, there really would be room for the next human being there.

Seeing that more and more of their soldiers were being defeated, the angels took off to watch the battle and no longer participated in it.

Aini knew that a decision had to be made.

"Xu Lai, you and I have been entangled in grievances for more than half a year.

Although I have done something wrong to you, I have also helped you in some way!"

From the vanguard flag, to the soldiers who made up for Xu Lai's losses, to the fiefdom and title, Aini did help him as he said.

Although he did not volunteer, he was the only one among so many heroes who participated in the battle and received troop reinforcements.

This provided great help to his early development.

Xu Lai rode forward and answered in the same loud voice: "What do you want? Just say it directly!"

Aini shouted at Xu Lai:
"You killed my own son. We have an irreconcilable blood feud. Do you have the courage to duel with me and settle our feud once and for all with a sacred duel?"

Xu Lai was surprised. He didn't expect that Aini would actually challenge him to a duel.

Just as he was about to agree, Yu Lan beside him hurriedly stopped him and said:
"My dear, you can't do that. Look at Aini. He didn't even come close to the wall when we were talking. He just stood there motionless.

There must be traps all around him.

Aini is now in his last moments and will surely die. You don't need to take the risk."

At this time, Aini was almost trying to hide his true intentions.

Although Xu Lai didn't know what arrangements he had made, he was sure that there must be a trap.

However, Xu Lai was still quite confident in himself. He smiled slightly and said:
"This matter can be regarded as my karma, and it is a good thing that I can resolve it myself.

Of course, I'm not a fool. No matter how confident I am, there's no need for me to fall into someone else's trap.

You will come with me to the city later, prepare the spell secretly, and release it when you hear my command."

There is no magician around Aini now, so Xu Lai asks Yu Lan to secretly lead people to cast spells.

Theoretically speaking, as a knight, Eini does not have enough spirit to perceive.

In order to avoid being discovered, Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to bring only a few mage-level wizards with him to cast spells together.

Naturally, Xu Lai used the order to command a general on Yu Lan, which also allowed Yu Lan to gain the general's characteristic of joint casting, but the joint release of spells was more powerful.

Seeing that Xu Lai had no so-called chivalry at all, Yu Lan smiled and said:

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Anyway, Aini shouldn't be able to kill you instantly."

Xu Lai rolled his eyes, patted the thick pad of flesh behind Yu Lan and said, "I'll deal with you when I come back."

Xu Lai agreed to the request for a duel, so Eni simply ordered people to open the city gate.

Anyway, as long as Xu Lai can be killed, all the recruited soldiers under his command will scatter and pose no threat.

And if he couldn't kill Xu Lai in this way, he guessed he would either escape or die. Does it matter whether the city gate is open or not?

On the wide city wall, the two sides were clearly separated.

There were obviously more people on Aini's side, but few of them had smiling faces.

On the other hand, Xu Lai's side fought for nearly an hour and killed a lot of people, but there was not even a single wounded person on his side, let alone those killed in battle.

"Come on, today either you die or I live!" As soon as Xu Lai finished speaking, he rushed forward with a sword.

In order to show respect for the ancient tradition of duel, both troops hid behind the two men.

Aini narrowed his eyes, and the metal armor on his body flashed. The trap that had been prepared long ago was not activated in a hurry.

He used his usual two-handed sword and swung it vigorously in front of Xu Lai, and a stream of sword energy immediately hit Xu Lai. (End of this chapter)
