The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 600 The drama begins
Officials have two tasks: one is to transport population and resources, and the other is also to transport population and resources.
The only difference is that the former was sent to the rear, while the latter was transported to Qingfeng City.
Those who had no construction skills, had no experience in militia, the elderly and weak, as well as women and children, were all transported to the rear for resettlement.
Those who are strong, or have received militia training, and have a certain level of riding and archery skills will be transferred to Stone Castle for further training.
In terms of resources, the construction resources obtained by demolishing towns and villages, such as wood, ore, etc., are transported to the front-line Stone Fort.
But the soldiers recruited from towns, fortresses and villages were sent to Fort Conaston and Qingfeng City.
The officials sent by Xu Lai were all former allies persuaded by Jimmy, and they all had noble status, so there was no problem in recruiting soldiers from the city.
As for those nobles who have surrendered recently, Xu Lai cannot fully trust them for the time being, but he will give them the same two orders.
We will see how they execute the plan later. If they do well, they will be able to formally enter Xu Lai's bureaucracy and government system.
If the execution was not good, Xu Lai didn't mind killing him again.
Things have come to this point, and he no longer cares about his reputation among the nobles.
Anyway, Xu Lai doesn't have to do it himself. These days, Jimmy has been bearing countless insults for him.
But anyway, the natives didn't have any other punishment, and as a loyalist of Jimmy, Xu Lai's reputation also dropped a bit.
But this little bit of reputation is completely incomparable to what Xu Lai has gained.
Xu Lai is currently the actual controller of the grassland, but he does not have a formal title, so he cannot issue a war mobilization order.
Even if he could, some remote villages that Xu Lai had not conquered, and villages and towns built by other descended heroes, people would never listen to Xu Lai.
It is relatively easy to just migrate one's own people. After Xu Lai killed all those nobles and disobedient people ruthlessly, no one would dare to disobey, at least for a short period of time.
The ones who have a harder time are still the ones mentioned above.
Either it was because the area was remote and information was cut off, so they didn't see Xu Lai's act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Either I don’t care who you are, why should you care about my advent hero.
The former is better. Just send some people over and try to persuade them. If that doesn't work, just chop off a few heads. They will eventually become obedient.
The purpose of clearing the countryside is to prevent the orcs from getting supplies.
As long as one of the villages and towns before Stonefort remains, it is possible for the orc army to hold out for a longer period of time.
Therefore, no matter what the reasons are, these people will be aiding the enemy as long as they stay, unless they have the ability to destroy the orcs.
Even those who are old and unwilling to leave their hometown must be forced to leave.
Even if they were willing to stay and die, it would not work because they were on the orcs' menu. Even if they were willing to die, Xu Lai was not willing to help the enemy.
Besides, although Xu Lai forced them to relocate, he was not like Aini who completely ignored their lives.
Along the way, Xu Lai set up many supply stations, each of which was guarded by troops, and patrols were required along the supply stations in front and behind.
It can be said that as long as you follow the prescribed route, there is basically no danger.
Moreover, when they arrived at the rear, Xu Lai would try his best to solve their food and accommodation problems, and would also distribute grain seeds and cattle and sheep to them.
Maybe some people’s assets will shrink a little, but they will also gain a safer living environment, so overall they will not lose money.
In order to make these preparations, Qingfeng City, which had begun stockpiling food early on, had to use up its food reserves for resettlement.
Jimmy and his Knight's Wind Legion were also broken up into small parts. They had to protect the officials and guard the supply station, which was equivalent to breaking up Xu Lai's entire legion.
But no matter what, these people are easy to deal with, while the latter are more difficult.
Xu Lai knew very well how difficult it was to deal with the so-called hero sent from heaven.
You tell them that the orcs will be here soon, and they think you are lying to them. The orcs have been repelled once and suffered heavy losses, so it is impossible for them to invade again in a short time.
Even though the fact of the great migration of the grasslands is already before their eyes, forcing most of the heroes sent from heaven to believe it, they still want to reach out to you and ask for benefits.
No matter you say it's for their own good, or tell them that if they stay here they will be eaten by orcs, most of the people here still won't listen.
Anyway, as long as you ask them to do it, no matter what the reason, they must pay benefits.
The key is that you can't send troops to drive them away.
Because although Xu Lai had sent more soldiers to those officials, it was a bit difficult for them to attack these heroes who fell from the sky.
In the entire grassland, there are only two nobles who have specialized abilities.
As for these two nobles, one had his head chopped off by Xu Lai, and the other is still imprisoned by Xu Lai.
The role of heroes is really huge. Even those nobles who have surrendered to Xu Lai have at least a general-level panel and a higher level than ordinary heroes, but they may not win if they really fight.
The only shortcoming of the heroes is probably that they don't have very good equipment. Most of them have never fought in the battlefield themselves and have very little combat experience.
If you capture the leader first, most heroes will find it difficult to stop him.
Even Xu Lai, who had been fighting almost non-stop for a year, could only be considered experienced in combat and was not worthy of the title of a master.
It’s just that his attributes are so good that he can rely on his attribute advantages to crush others almost every time.
He is not as fast as others in drawing his sword, but because of his high agility, his dynamic vision is better. In his eyes, others appear to be slowed down, so he can naturally block the attacks easily.
His high strength allows him to crush his opponents at any angle where it is not convenient to exert force.
His physique gives him more opportunities to try and make mistakes. He can be defeated many times, but his enemies cannot withstand a single attack from him.
Fortunately, in this world, there seems to be no one else like Xu Lai.
Even if other heroes were not as good as Xu Lai, Xu Lai was reluctant to send his soldiers to die.
Moreover, he had a hunch that these heroes who came from nowhere would become a bigger trouble sooner or later.
In short, it was impossible to ask Xu Lai to offer them benefits in exchange for migration.
Anyway, he has done his best. They can leave or not. It would be best if they all stay and become military rations for the orcs.
Xu Lai was so angry that he was half dead. He had originally planned to use the teleportation array to visit all the outdoor buildings that he had not visited and that had added attributes.
But now he was so busy that he had no time to rest. He was on horseback almost every day, running all over the grassland. He even vomited two or three times due to the ride.
But even so, he is still actively integrating the vital forces on the grassland.
As Xu Lai kept running around, he gradually achieved some results.
February is a rare peaceful month. Any battle that occurs this month will result in a 2-point morale penalty for both sides.
Unfortunately, even this peaceful month did not bring true peace.
On the grassland, there are no longer any flags of resistance against Xu Lai, but he still has many battles to face.
In early February, the orc scouts began to move to the grassland in large numbers. Xu Lai had suffered a loss once when his new stone fort was discovered, so he certainly could not let these scouts run rampant on the grassland.
Taking advantage of the fact that the large-scale orc army was unable to cross the Pingfeng Mountains and these scouts had almost no backup, he and Elvy led their teams to hunt down these orc scouts.
With the help of the reconnaissance guards deployed at various intersections in the Pingfeng Mountains, Xu Lai continued to hunt down the reconnaissance wolf cavalry.
Xu Lai, who only led the paladins, was extremely fast. With the blessing of his divine speed, once the wolf cavalry were discovered by Xu Lai, they would not be able to escape.
Elvy, on the other hand, borrowed the Gem of True Sight from Giselle and flew low over the sky, specifically hunting down those invisible units.
Wolf Riders are very good at restraining flying units. Even though they certainly cannot defeat Seraphim and Archangel, Wolf Riders with magic nets can completely control flying units with the nets.
Although Elvy and the others were able to catch up quickly after escaping control thanks to the terrifying speed of top-level units, it would still waste a lot of time.
Moreover, wolf riders are extremely cunning creatures. Once caught in their nets, they will immediately scatter and flee.
Elvy leads the angels, and their fighting power is very strong. However, her disadvantage is that she is unable to divide the angels into small teams.
Therefore, using Elvy to snipe the wolf cavalry was not very effective.
On the other hand, Xu Lai, with his Holy Dragon that had grown into a young form, could almost wipe out the wolf cavalry with a single charge as soon as he saw them.
Casting a net is very effective against air units, but it is much less effective against ground units, especially those on a charging attack.
What's more, the Paladin is invincible. If he really can't avoid it, the worst thing he can do is to activate the holy shield.
The Holy Light Knight has reached its maximum level of upgrade, so Roland usually chooses to watch the show from the sidelines with the Holy Light Knight, while Xu Lai leads the Paladin to charge forward.
The paladins took turns to use their holy shields to block the nets. Hundreds of paladins could kill at least ten teams of wolf riders in a day.
The young holy dragon flying in the sky can enjoy high-level giant wolves every day, saving a lot of food for Xu Lai, and can also fly in the sky to point out the enemy's location to Xu Lai.
As the two sides gradually became more coordinated, gradually no wolf riders dared to wreak havoc on the grassland, which bought the herdsmen in the rear plenty of time to retreat calmly.
Elvy's results were also very good.
The angels are extremely fast. Once the reconnaissance guard discovers the enemy, she will immediately fly at a low altitude.
With the help of the Gem of True Sight, no matter whether it is an invisible orc assassin or an orc swordsman in the wind step, none of them can escape her eyes.
The orc swordmaster is one level higher than the human swordmaster.
Although both sides possessed extreme swordsmanship, the physical attributes of orcs were clearly more advantageous than those of humans.
However, this advantage became completely vulnerable in front of the angels.
Sword masters and sword dancers generally act in small groups and rarely act together.
The ultimate swordsmanship requires space to be performed.
If they were to fight on the battlefield, without the space to move, they would be no match for the Crusaders in heavy armor and with two swords.
The Crusaders, who were in tight formation, only needed to stand side by side and let the Sword Master chop them with his sword. They would mechanically respond with the Sword Master's double swords.
But if they act alone or in a small number, the vast grassland will provide them with space to mobilize the enemy.
Unfortunately, this time they encountered the empire's top-level troops, the Archangels, who were ranked second in speed among the ultimate troops of the nine camps.
Like Xu Lai, in order to increase their combat effectiveness, Elvy and her more than one hundred Seraphim almost never took action.
But even so, dozens of archangels can easily surround a small team of sword dancers and sword masters.
With the help of Wind Step, sword dancers may be able to maintain their speed advantage for a short period of time, but unfortunately Wind Step has a duration.
Xu Lai was on this side of the Pingfeng Mountains, guarding it strictly.
Among the ten scouts sent out by the orcs, not necessarily one would come back, and the one who came back was just trying to escape for his life and did not get very far.
Not to mention drawing a map, except for the valley entrance of the Pingfeng Mountains, even the map of the surrounding 30 kilometers was not complete.
Of course, the map drawn during the last invasion can still be used.
At the very least, the location of the water source is unlikely to change.
As long as the location of the water source remains unchanged, the location of the wild animal population will basically not change. After all, all living things cannot live without water.
At most, the human villages and towns on the grassland have changed and need to be re-surveyed.
This kind of thing is not difficult. As long as the flying soldiers fly over the Pingfeng Mountains, they will be able to get a general idea.
The most important thing is that the orcs need to find the exact location of the enemy.
The terrible logistical pressure meant that they were doomed to be unable to fight a protracted war and had to fight a quick battle.
Then, finding the enemy's main force and annihilating it in one fell swoop is undoubtedly the fastest way.
But our scouts couldn't even escape from Pingfeng Mountains, so how could they possibly find the enemy's main force?
They haven't even received the news that Stone Castle has been greatly transformed.
The brave swordsman died from Giselle's arrow before he could bring back the news.
The orcs had no choice but to rely on their only ally on the grassland.
Fortunately, this ally brought them good news.
According to Xu Lai's instructions, Aini told the orcs that he had prepared herds of cattle and sheep for them, which would be delivered to them as soon as they entered the grassland.
When the orcs asked about Xu Lai's news, Aini frowned and told them that he didn't know.
Aini told the orcs that if Xu Lai had not been chasing wolf riders and sword dancers on the front line in recent times, he would probably have lost the last bit of his power on the grassland.
In this situation, Aini said that it was difficult for him to protect himself, let alone gather information for the orcs.
At the same time, Aini also told the orcs to make sure they restrain Xu Lai.
Otherwise, if Xu Lai had time to deal with him, all the cattle and sheep he had prepared for the orcs would become Xu Lai's military rations.
Aini's statement was reasonable and did not arouse the orcs' suspicion.
On the contrary, because of these military rations, the orcs still maintain small-scale activities every day in order to achieve the goal of restraining Xu Lai.
This small-scale force is basically sending itself to its own death.
Moreover, in order to attract Xu Lai, all of them are high-speed troops, either wolf cavalry, sword dancers, or squadrons of flying soldiers.
Throughout February, in order to achieve the goal of restraining Xu Lai, the orcs sent orcs to die almost every day.
In one month, Xu Lai and his men killed at least 3 wolf riders, more than 300 sword dancers and sword masters, more than suicide bats, and more than golden eagles.
There are nearly a thousand orc assassins and a number of unknown orcs. The total number of battle results should be over ten thousand, and there are very few recruiting units. (End of this chapter)
