The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Chapter 617 Death Struggle

"I can't get in touch with Paramei anymore. I think she's in danger."

The poison has already taken effect once, and the orcs have become alert, so it is unlikely to continue to be effective.

Therefore, Count Eni, who had been imprisoned by Xu Lai, could finally come out and get some fresh air.

Standing on the top of the Stone City, which had been completely changed, Aini felt a myriad of emotions in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Aini had anticipated this outcome when he made the plan.

But he did not hesitate at all, and did not even tell Xu about Parame, for fear that Xu would give up the plan because of such concerns.

Once the plan was implemented, Aini never revealed it to anyone, not even his son and wife, let alone his other confidants and Parame.

By now, the orcs should have realized that the problem lies with the cattle and sheep provided by Aini.

Whether it was Xu Lai or Aini, they both knew very well that the orcs were a race with a strong sense of revenge and could not suffer any loss.

He had ambushed Xu Lai before, and now he was fighting Xu to the point of death.

Therefore, Aini was also very clear that after this incident, the orcs would never let him go.

As for Xu Lai, it is estimated that this group of orcs have no good ideas, but they still have ways to deal with Aini.

The most common and effective method is assassination. Now that he has no power, his trusted subordinates and those life-saving equipment have all been taken away by Xu Lai.

If the orcs really sent the Sword Master to assassinate him, he would have no ability to protect himself.

The only person he can count on now is Xu Lai.

Xu Lai knew the mage Parame, but this mage had no moral integrity and was always against him.

"It's better to be dead. Otherwise, for such a traitor to the human race, skinning and pulling out the tendons would be the lightest punishment." Xu Lai said lightly.

If he died, he died. Xu Lai would not feel the slightest bit sad, and he never thought of using such a person for his own benefit.

It's okay for him to work for Aini, but colluding with aliens for Aini is simply disgusting.

Besides, Parame was loyal to the orcs at that time, and being killed by the orcs was just a case of two dogs biting each other.

Not only was Xu Lai happy, he also wanted to publicize Parame's death. He was even willing to exchange Parame's body back from the orcs.

Firstly, it was to show Aini's loyalists that being loyal to such a master would only lead to betrayal.

Secondly, it is to warn the others and let them know the fate of traitors. Otherwise, the orcs are powerful, and there may be many people who are planning to defect to the orcs.

Especially those heroes who had come to Xu Lai but were not employed by Xu Lai.

These guys can no longer develop on their own, but are unwilling to leave the grassland. Perhaps they have already colluded with the orcs before the orcs arrive.

Aini swallowed quietly and said, "Xu Lai, I have done what I promised you.

I will give orders to the rest of my men later, and you can send people to take over the castle directly. I guarantee that no one will resist."

Xu Lai understood what Aini meant and said to him, "Don't worry, I will keep my word.

From now on, you are free to go wherever you want.

But Count Aini is dead, and your family will completely give up all rights on this grassland.

I hope you understand what I mean.”

Aini really understood it very well, and nodded hurriedly, "I understand, I understand it very well.

From today on, Aini is completely dead, and I am just a body without a soul.

My successor will publicly renounce all rights to the grasslands whenever you need."

Xu Lai nodded and waved his hand somewhat listlessly.

He had no intention of breaking his promise because it was totally not worth it.

First of all, Aini did play a key role in this plan.

Secondly, Xu Lai took the oath publicly, and too many people witnessed his oath. Even if all the witnesses were his people, he could not deceive himself and the gods in heaven.

At the same time, if he killed Aini, he would inevitably lose some trust.

In comparison, Aini's revenge was the least thing he had to worry about.

He even secretly hoped that Aini would rise up for revenge, so that he would have a reason to kill Aini and completely put an end to this cause and effect.

Just as Aini was about to leave, Xu Lai suddenly said:

"Oh right, I've thought about it, now you've become a thorn in the orcs' side.

From now on, don’t tell anyone about your own news, lest someone kill you someday and think it was me who did it.”

Xu Lai could kill Aini himself, but he didn't want to take the blame for others, so he gave a special reminder.

Not having to report to Xu Lai anymore was good news, but having to face the pursuit of the entire stronghold camp from now on was news that couldn't be worse.

At this moment, he was actually somewhat sincere in hoping that Xu Lai could drive all the orcs back to the Gobi Desert.

However, I guess Aini won't have the courage to hang around again in his lifetime.

After sending Aini away, Jilong continued to report to Xu Lai about the gains from last night's battle.

We fought all night yesterday and moved supplies for another day today.

Xu Lai can sit back and do nothing and play around in those museums, but his adjutant can't do that.

He had to keep an eye on each team and continue to encircle and suppress the orcs who escaped yesterday.

In the dark night of last night, many orcs lost their way and only a few were able to escape into the orc camp in the west. Many had to rush back to their team when it was daytime and clearer.

These orcs are scattered and do not have much combat effectiveness. It would be strange if Xu Lai allowed them to return to the team easily.

In addition, during the day, the Seraphim and Pegasus Knights have a much wider field of vision.

Even if the team is surrounded by wolf riders, they can get support quickly, or at least point out the direction for evacuation.

Having completely lost their air superiority base, the few remaining golden eagles had to avoid the angels' range of activities and were completely untouchable.

In addition, Jilong also needs to keep an eye on the logistics. Although Wang Chao has Xu Lai's trust, he also needs proper supervision.

Everyone has greed. Appropriate supervision is not only responsible for yourself, but also for Wang Chao and others.

Finally, Jilong also needs to record his own gains and losses, analyze the enemy's damage, and provide better data support for subsequent battles.

"So much food and fodder has been seized? If the orcs don't get more food, how long can they last?"

Ji Long had no way to answer this question. Yu Land, who already had several secretaries to help him, said:
"It depends on whether the orcs want to drag the battle on or end it quickly.

Although we seized a lot of food and supplies, they also killed a lot of people.

On the whole, the orcs' situation should be similar to before. With the reinforcements from the rear, they can still hold on for a while.

If they want to drag it out with us, they can at least drag it out for a month or two by transporting more supplies and fewer troops. But if they want to end the war quickly, they will have to attack our food supply team and station a large number of troops. "

As soon as Yu Lan finished speaking, Lena sent a messenger to the top of the city.

"I've met your lord."

The man was dressed as a knight and immediately knelt on one knee when he saw Xu Lai.

When he saw the person coming, Xu Lai frowned subconsciously, because the messenger was wearing the military uniform that Xu Lai had just customized a few months ago.

An army needs collective cohesion, and at the same time, on a fierce battlefield, it also needs something that allows the enemy and us to be quickly distinguished.

Flags, military uniforms, identical patterns and standard equipment, etc., were all created for these purposes.

The Qingfeng Corps is stationed in Wanshi City, and those who are deployed and patrolling along the lines of Wanshi City should be soldiers of the Qingfeng Corps.

However, the ones who came running over at this time were the members of the "Knight's Wind" Legion, wearing turquoise uniforms.

The knight corps born on the grasslands uses uniforms of this color, which complements each other very well.

The Qingfeng Legion, which Xu Lai relies on the most, values ​​the most and regards as the core force, uses sky blue uniforms, which is Xu Lai's favorite color.

In the defense zone of the "Pure Wind Legion", a messenger from the Knight Wind Legion appeared, which did not seem to be good news.

"Please stand up. I remember your name is Xiu Yi, and you are a knight commander of the Knight's Wind."

The knight named Xiuyi lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Your Excellency, it is me."

Seeing this, Xu Lai could already confirm that this guy probably didn't bring him any good news.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Lai said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Xiu Yi still hid his head on the upright thigh and said in a deep voice:

"Captain Martell, let me report to you that the two escort teams sent out today did not return on time.

After investigation, we found the bodies of the escort team soldiers and the transport team laborers, and on their bodies, we also found a large number of traces of wolf bites.

The transport team's supplies, apart from some food, the rest of the crossbow carts, ammunition, ore and other resources also showed signs of being burned."

"Wolf creatures, that should be Kenlo Hag's wolf cavalry corps?"

Xiuyi raised his head and said to Xu Lai:
"Our corps commander asked me to tell you that the two transport teams that were attacked came from two different cities.

Apart from meeting at the finish line, the routes of these two teams are completely different and far apart.

According to the reports from the elite scouts, the two teams were attacked at almost the same time, which leads to the conclusion that the two teams were attacked by different enemies.

In addition, according to reports from the mayors of several small towns stationed in the east, they also suspected that wolf cavalrymen were spotted there."

Xu Lai sighed and said, "Kenlo Hag has divided his troops. I don't even know how many groups he has divided them into."

The orcs have their own advantages. Their entire camp has come out in full force, but their troops may be restricted by the natural barriers and cannot be gathered all at once.

However, senior generals are not subject to this restriction and can join the battle sequence first.

In the battle last night, Xu Lai killed quite a few high-level orc heroes.

But the entire Wolf Cavalry Corps suffered almost no losses, except for some unlucky people who died of poison and ran to the wrong place due to the confusion.

On the one hand, it was because these wolf cavalry were not stationed with the main force, but were stationed on the flanks for guarding, thus avoiding the fate of being wiped out.

On the other hand, it was Kenro Hager who made a prompt decision.

Otherwise, he would be like Naruda, who knew it was inconvenient to find the opponent at night and would be easily defeated by the angel army, but he still waited until Sachs gave the order before leaving.

Otherwise, Elvy would not dare to lead the angels openly to hunt down those thunderbirds.

You should know that the thunderbirds are of a high level and their number is dozens of times that of the angels. Even if physical attacks cannot break the defense, the summoned thunder and lightning can kill the angels.

But these thunderbirds were too scattered. With the magic resistance blessed by Xu Lai and the huge health of the Seraphim, a few thunderbolts were no problem at all.

It can be said that it was Ruda’s hesitation that destroyed the remaining thousands of Thunderbirds of the Flying Legion.

However, Sachs did not punish Ruda for this, because Ruda was trying to protect him after all.

If it weren't for Ruda and his Thunderbird that entangled Elvy, Elvy might have already targeted Sachs and killed him directly, thus establishing the situation.

Although Tahan was a fearless knight and brave, he had no way of tracking down the Beast King in the dark.

As long as Sachs leaves behind some death squads to entangle Tahan, he will have enough time to escape from the battlefield.

Xiu Yi continued: “According to the scouts, the battle was very fierce and fast.

The guard soldiers, militiamen and laborers used for transportation totaled nearly a thousand people.

But those wolf riders were able to kill so many people in a very short time.

Including the time spent looting food and burning supplies, it took less than half an hour."

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, the separate wolf riders are still very powerful. It seems that it's not a good idea for us to divide our forces to fight against them."

Xu Lai is confident in himself. Even if he meets Kenro Hageborg's team, he believes that his team has a greater advantage.

Without a hero to lead them, Kotahan and his gang will have a much larger attribute gap.

Even though Xu Lai had some advent heroes who had joined him, the highest level one was less than level 20. How could he compare with the high-level orc heroes?

Therefore, once his troops were divided, Xu Lai would have little chance of success.

After thinking for a while, Xu Lai said in a deep voice: "Pass my order to all the city lords, acting city lords and municipal governors on the grassland.

Tell them that from today on, all work outside the city will be suspended, all city gates will be closed, and no one is allowed to go out.

Of course, civilians outside the city should also be moved into the city as much as possible, and daily necessities should be distributed per capita.

For those ranches and farms that could not be relocated inland, they continued to transfer their population and livestock towards Qingfeng City.

At the same time, tell Jimmy that there is no need to send any more supplies to Hard Stone City. Temporarily cut off all trade routes and do not give these wolf cavalry any chance to get supplies. "

After all, the Stone City couldn't cut the grassland in half.

So it is not surprising that the wolf cavalry was able to bypass the Stone City defense line.

However, no matter how brave these wolf cavalrymen are, they dare not go deep into the grassland, so the area around Qingfeng City should still be safe.

Of course, if the wolf cavalry really went deep into the area, it would certainly cause heavy losses to Xu Lai.

But these wolf cavalrymen were alone and deep in the territory, and as long as Xu Lai encircled them from the rear, they would be unable to escape and would have nowhere to escape.

Unless Kenlo Hag can also open a teleportation array and directly teleport back to the base city, Xu Lai really has no way out.

But Kenlo Hag and his men are now divided into several groups. Can all the commanders fly? (End of this chapter)
