The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

The Sword Master's prediction was correct. After taking the magic immunity potion, although spells no longer worked on him, Giselle's phantom arrows were not really just phantoms.

Phantom arrows also have real physical damage.

This phantom is equivalent to a physical entity, so it cannot be restrained by the magic immunity potion at all.

The Sword Master was extremely experienced and he sensed something was wrong the moment his blade collided with the phantom arrow.

Such a strong sound of breaking through the air should not have such little power.

But by the time he reacted, it was too late.

And it was not wrong for him to focus on protecting his legs. Once his ability to move was restricted, he would have less chance of escaping.

He just didn't expect that the arrows shot out would be so numerous and so powerful.

Union was shot flying, with countless arrows piercing his whole body.

Of course, it is impossible for a sword master who excels in agility to wear such heavy armor.

And ordinary archers are not capable of hitting the sword master who is as fast as the wind, except for Giselle, the 9th-level title ranger who has the attribute of a sure hit.

Pierced by dense arrows, a faint yellow light flashed across the Sword Master's body, but he did not die.

In his dying struggle, the sword master in the air suddenly split into four, and there were three more identical clones.

The Sword Master's clone is different from the other illusions. His clone, like Giselle's phantom arrow, is physical.

These clones are all capable of fighting and resisting, and can even inherit Union's fatal blows. It is impossible for ordinary people to distinguish them in a short period of time.

As soon as the Sword Master released his clones, they all fled in different directions and were almost never caught.

But unfortunately, the sword master who released his clone this time was still in mid-air.

Even though it didn't even take a second to land, this crucial one second was enough for Gisele to shoot several more arrows.

So what if you have a clone, so what if you can be invisible? The whistling rain of arrows fell, and both the original body and the clone were pierced like hedgehogs.

After landing on the ground, the Sword Master didn't even have the qualifications to struggle to his death. Even the yellow light with strong healing ability dimmed.

No matter how powerful the healing ability is, it cannot bring the dead back to life. That is a unique ability of resurrection.

Elvy landed beside the sword, felt his breath and said, "He should be dead. Do you want to continue chasing those two?"

At this time, Xu Lai had almost rushed to the front. He reined in his horse and said:

"Forget it. These guys are not that easy to deal with. I'm not sure if you guys can go after them alone."

The paladins had been constantly traveling and fighting, and their physical strength was almost exhausted. Moreover, the speed of the Beast King and the Axe King was not slow at all. They disappeared on the vast grassland in the blink of an eye.

If this happens in the back, and Xu Lai and the others are ambushed, I will be the one who suffers.

"Gather the bodies and help me revive them."

Even if some knights died in battle, Xu Lai was not in a hurry, because the root of the problem lay in his legion of angels.

The orcs have no ability to resurrect, so once they die, they are gone. But with the angel army on their side, they are not afraid of sacrifice at all.

Xu Lai immediately led his men to rush over, mainly because he was afraid that the three orc heroes would destroy the bodies of his own knights.

If the body is badly damaged, then the person is really dead.

Fortunately, they did not have the time, as Xu Lai was watching closely from the side, and Beast King and Axe King also used many of their special moves.

The remaining means are all for saving lives or fighting for one's life. Once Xu Lai sticks to you, you might really have to die here.

After all, the Beast King still underestimated Xu Lai and only brought his right and left hands to support him.

And out of habit, he left Union behind to cover the rear, which ended up leaving a superhero from the base on the grassland forever.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Monster King.

Swordmaster Union has Bladestorm for magic immunity, Invincible Slash for invincibility, healing totems, invisibility, clones, various potions, and is also the fastest runner.

Union has been to almost every dangerous place and always managed to escape unscathed.

But this time, Union was greedy for merit and acted rashly, and both the Blade Storm that could grant immunity to magic and the Invincible Slash that could grant brief invincibility had already been used.

Although his healing skills were powerful, they could not restore him immediately, and his invisibility was restrained by the gem of true sight. Neither his clones nor his potions could help him avoid this misfortune.

Soon, the resurrection ceremony held by Elvy and dozens of Seraphim ended, and Roland and more than a dozen other Holy Light Knights were pulled up again.

In this brief confrontation, both sides fought several times, but they also kept many tricks in reserve.

Judging from the results, of course Xu Lai made a lot of money.

Even though two archangels and a group of Holy Light Knights died, they could all be resurrected, which meant there was no loss at all.

As for the stronghold, not only did they lose a high-level heroic swordsman, but their most important flying corps also suffered heavy losses.

One third of the golden eagles were lost, all the great pengs were wiped out, half of the thunderbirds were lost, and the entire flying corps lost more than half. If the Beast King had not come in person to take charge, morale would have collapsed long ago.

"I'm sorry Xu Lai, we rushed here as fast as we could, but we still couldn't catch up."

When Xu Lai saw Gisele appearing alone, he already understood what had happened.

"Where are the other shooters?"

Giselle said quickly, "Don't worry, I'll let Silver Wing lead them over here. I'm fast, so I'll come over to check out the situation first."

After all, Giselle has the bonus of equipment, and her agility is so high that even Xu Lai on horseback cannot catch up with her speed. Only with a short charge, he may be able to be faster than her.

The key is that Giselle still has physical strength potions on her body, but Xu Lai can only take the medicine himself and cannot give it to the mount.

With Silver Wing, the Pegasus Knight, following him, Xu Lai could feel a little more at ease. If these precious archers were lost, today's gains might not be a success.

After the Sword Master died, his body was inevitably stripped clean.

The most eye-catching thing on this guy is the nearly 3-meter-long sword.

This thing is actually called a sword by the orcs. This is the most incredible thing for Xu Lai.

A sword usually has blades on both sides, but this broadsword has a blade on only one side, and the other side is thick, which is convenient for chopping.

Even the sword master, who is known for his agility, is actually quite strong. The orc race has a natural strength bonus.

[Fang-toothed Blade]: Two-handed weapon, long-handled weapon, magic weapon, artifact, attack 92-162.

Special effect: Fang Blade, the attack comes with 15% lifesucking, and 15% of the damage caused to living things will be used to restore itself.

Artifact effect, Rage Blade, each successful hit on a target will increase its attack speed by 10%, with a cap of 100%.

Xu Lai weighed the knife, it was not light, if it was placed on the body on Earth, it would be very difficult to lift it up with two hands. Of course, for Xu Lai now, except that the blade was a little too long, the weight did not cause any problems.

If this thing is to be used by Xu Lai, it can only be placed on the back of a horse and used as a cavalry weapon.

Otherwise, considering the length, it would be very inconvenient to perform.

However, Xu Lai's long-handled weapon skills were basically acquired through the lance, and he had never tried the machete.

However, this machete has extremely high attack power, comes with 15% bloodsucking, and has the special effect of becoming more violent the more it hits.

If he appeared in a group of enemies carrying this thing, relying on the violent special effects and blood-sucking special effects, plus Xu Lai's god-level offensive skills, as long as his physical strength was not exhausted, it would be impossible to be killed.

It’s a pity that Xu Lai already has so many weapons that he can’t find a place for this Fanged Blade.

But now Xu Lai has more and more senior generals under his command, and this kind of artifact-level equipment will eventually come in handy.

Even if no one can use it, it can be put in the auction house as a finale item.

Although Xu Lai had made a lot of money in the past few months, he also had to spend a lot to prepare food and troops to fight against the stronghold.

In addition, he also had to settle the evacuated herders, provide them with food rations and crops, and give them land and houses.

These herdsmen on the grassland have encountered several wars in the past two years. If Xu Lai had ignored them like Aini, at least half of them would have died on the road.

Even if the grassland is defended, there are not many people there, and I don’t know how many years it will take to recover.

Apart from this conspicuous sword, the most valuable thing on Union's body is undoubtedly the space ring in his hand.

However, this space ring has a lock, so Xu Lai has to find someone to crack it before he can use it.

Apart from that, Sword Saint Union did not have any good equipment and could not compare with Morrell who was equipped with all kinds of magical weapons.

However, his leather armor, beast boots, etc., although not artifacts, are also high-level magical equipment with very practical attributes.

But Xu Lai also discovered one thing, that is, this guy did not have a single treasure on his body, even though the few items he had were magical equipment that increased attributes or skills.

“The orcs are like this. Their heroes are divided into commanders and combat heroes.

Except for a few heroes, such as Beastmaster, who can take both into consideration, the rest of the heroes develop in one direction.

Moreover, the stronghold camp places great emphasis on personal bravery, so commander-type heroes are relatively rare."

Xu Lai was very surprised, but Jilong was not surprised.

As a native grassland man, and as he was fighting against the stronghold at this time, Jilong specially studied the relevant intelligence of the stronghold.

He didn't say that he knew these orcs very well at this time, but he could give answers to most of the questions.

Xu Lai touched his head, stared at the direction where the orcs were attacking, and said after thinking for a moment:

"Let's go, in addition to this guy, pick up the dead bodies of thunderbirds that fell from the sky.

Having lost nearly half of our grassland, it will be difficult for us to supply food for some time to come.

These thunderbirds are high-level creatures, very valuable, and cannot be wasted."

Not many of them could move freely, so the golden eagles, the great rocs and the like simply gave up.

In addition, after a period of time, the recruited thunderbirds disappeared on the spot, so the few people did not work for long.

More than an hour later, Silver Wing arrived with the Phantom Shooter troops to join them.

Although this unit failed to launch a surprise attack on the flying corps' stronghold, it did not expose its own strength.

As for Giselle, who arrived last, the only witness was already a corpse and was not a threat.

Besides, even if the Beast King and the others saw it at that time, one or two high-level shooters would not be a big deal.

Even in a stronghold with relatively poor long-range combat capabilities, don't there still be a few experts who are particularly good at throwing stones and axes?

"Come on, go home!"

After everything was packed up, Xu Lai and his team headed towards Xinwanshibao before nightfall.

After all, the place where they are now is not too far from Pingfeng Mountain. If the orc vanguard can hurry up, they will be able to catch up before nightfall.

However, as the saying goes, "A skilled person is a daring one", with the gathering of these hundreds of Phantom Archers, whose lowest level is 7, Xu Lai is fully capable of fighting a small battle, except for the lack of support from mages and priests.

Moreover, after more than an hour's rest, the Holy Light Knights had recovered a lot of their strength. If the stronghold really sent fast troops such as wolf riders to approach, Xu Lai and his men would be able to wait for the opportunity to tire themselves out.

For the past two months, Xu Lai, Elvy and the others have been wandering in the wild almost all the time.

Although they successfully blocked the grassland, they had less control over the rear.

Su Ya told him that the herders who had been relocated from the rear had basically been resettled.

The various purchased materials are also being transported to Wanshi Castle in a steady stream.

Lena also told Xu Lai that the construction of the new Stone Fort was going very smoothly. Thanks to the resources provided by major cities, the new Stone Fort was several times larger than before.

In addition to the smooth progress of urban construction, the construction of various military facilities also went smoothly.

City walls, arrow towers, turrets, catapults, moats, etc. have all been successfully built.

However, Xu Lai had only heard the report and had not seen it with his own eyes.

The most critical thing is the preparation of the poison. Apart from the slightly higher cost, no unexpected situations occurred.

Because Xu Lai purchased a lot, the price of materials has risen a lot. In addition, orc slaves are difficult to buy, so the cost of these poisons is still relatively high.

The cattle and sheep prepared for the orcs are all in place.

As long as Xu Lai gives the order, all the cattle and sheep will be poisoned and released to the designated location.

The only pity is that Reina conducted more experiments later.

This poison is only effective against orcs and creatures with orc blood, such as orc warriors, wolf riders, ogres, and half-orcs.

However, it is ineffective against creatures like the giant-eared monster, the behemoth, the thunderbird, and the cyclops, which are also stronghold creatures but have no connection with the orc bloodline.

But creatures like Behemoth and Cyclops, because of their rank, will have priority in enjoying this fresh flesh and blood.

In other words, some of the poisoned cattle and sheep prepared by Xu Lai would most likely be wasted.

Fortunately, only naturally grown Behemoths are eligible for the One-Eyes' enjoyment, and the recruited warriors are not picky about food, so naturally they do not need to be specially fed.

On the way back, because they were carrying the Phantom Shooters who were severely exhausted, Xu Lai and his team did not arrive near the Stone Castle until the middle of the moon.

At this time, the Stone Castle was no longer called the Stone Castle. Reina named it the Stone Castle. (End of this chapter)
