The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 618 Xu Lai’s Trap
I have to say that Kenro Hag's wolf cavalry is indeed quite powerful.
These wolf cavalrymen are active in their own urban areas, and officials from all places will send the wolf cavalrymen's dynamics to Jimmy or Xu Lai in a timely manner.
In addition, except Elvy who stayed in Stone City, several Pegasus Knights and Pegasus Knights were also helping Xu Lai with aerial reconnaissance.
There were thousands of knights led by Xu Lai chasing after them. Not only were these wolf riders not caught by Xu Lai, but they also looted several villages one after another.
Xu Lai did give the order, but once the order was conveyed to the mayors of each city, it might not be 100% executed.
After all, Xu Lai issued a city lockdown order, which will have a huge impact on every city.
Not all cities have sufficient food reserves. This is an era when food is worthless, and no one is willing to fill warehouses with worthless food.
Especially for those cities that Xu Lai conquered in the later period, it was too late to stockpile food. If they were to be completely closed, they would probably starve to death first.
Secondly, Xu Lai occupied these cities for too short a time, and even if he sent officials, he had used force to intimidate them before.
But in the final analysis, the governance of the city still depends on the locals, who own a large number of estates, farmlands and pastures outside the city.
With one order from Xu Lai, the city can be closed, but these people must be willing to give up their interests.
Finally, there are the civilians and herdsmen who, either out of attachment to their homeland or because they are worried that their lands and pastures will be seized on the pretext of being orcs.
Faced with such news, Xu Lai was angry, but he had no way to change the situation.
The only thing he could do was to ask Jimmy to distribute all these notices, hoping to alert officials in other cities.
But they can get food replenishment from time to time, so these wolf cavalry can always move around in their rear.
Closing the city and suspending supplies is also a double-edged sword for Xu Lai.
If it lasts too long and there is not enough food reserves in the city, it will collapse even without the orcs coming.
Qingfeng City has the support of sea transportation channels, and with a huge inner city, its food reserves are sufficient.
However, Qingfeng City’s food reserves were not enough to be shipped out, and the defenders of Qingfeng City could only barely hold on to the city.
Jimmy also did not dare to act rashly. His main army needed to be on guard against the defense of Fort Cornerston at all times.
At the same time, he must be ready to support his own city of Martell and Xu Lai's Qingfeng City at any time.
These two cities, one is his foundation, and the other is Xu Lai's foundation. He cannot accept losing either one of them.
The only good news for Xu Lai was that he could at least keep an eye on Kenro Hag's main force, which was the Frost Giant Wolf Cavalry Regiment.
This cavalry regiment has great endurance, and all of them have beast vision, allowing them to march at night.
Normally, Kenlo Hag would make up the distance that Xu Lai had shortened during the day, and he would also plunder one or two villages and towns in the process.
This cavalry regiment is too conspicuous in size and its features are too obvious.
On the endless green plain, there is a large white mark that is hard not to be conspicuous.
Kenlo Hag had to use at least ten acceleration spells every day to barely make use of the transfer during the day and night and avoid a head-on confrontation with Xu Lai.
However, it was already late spring and the beginning of summer, and there was a lot of daytime time, so it was not easy for him to get rid of Xu Lai.
The key point is that Xu Lai has been following behind, and the Frost Wolf Riders dare not even fight a battle that lasts more than half an hour, let alone attacking the city.
At the same time, they have to run during the day and at night. People can lie on the wolf's back to rest for a while, but the giant wolves can only rest intermittently every day.
For the Frost Giant Wolves, they have to survive the harsh winter, so they have the habit of storing fat so that they can survive for a short period of time.
But over time, without regular replenishment of meat, physical strength will decline faster and faster.
Now Kenlo Hag not only releases the acceleration spell, but also continues to release the recovery spell while the acceleration spell lasts.
But even so, the morale, fighting will, and even attributes of the Frost Wolf Riders were constantly declining.
The longer they run, the faster their fighting power disappears.
If possible, Kenlo Hag would definitely not want to run away again. He would gather all the wolf riders to fight a life-and-death duel with Xu.
As long as they can kill Xu Lai, the orcs will definitely win the final victory in this grassland battle.
But if he continued to run like this, even if he gathered all his wolf riders, he would no longer be a match for Xu Lai.
Continuously releasing dozens of strategic spells every day is too much for him to handle even if he replenishes his mana potions every day.
In addition, due to lack of rest, the recovery effect is extremely poor. He can only rely on potions every day, and his mana reserves are getting lower and lower day by day.
When the battle begins, the opponent will release spell after spell, and our side will not even have the power to fight back, so there is no chance of winning.
But it’s impossible, Beast King Sachs gave him a death order.
Even if he died, he had to die together with Xu Lai's cavalry. No matter what, he had to be bought at least a week.
Sachs wanted to use this week to concentrate all his troops and capture Stone City as a bridgehead.
Even if the orcs' final plan to attack the grassland failed, as long as they captured the Stone City carefully built by Xu Lai, the orcs could use the city as a line of defense and control half of the grassland.
Although half a grassland is not better than one grassland, it can provide the orcs with a most elite tribe.
After accumulating for a period of time, and owning a stronghold in the entire Gobi Desert, would he still be no match for Xu Lai, who only has half of the grassland?
The reason why Xu Lai has been stationed outside is to prevent the orc army from focusing on attacking the city.
When the pressure on Stone City is too great or there is a gap in the defense.
Xu Lai outside only needed one charge to push the orcs back, buy time for the people of Hard Stone City to replenish the city’s defense facilities and repair the city walls.
It cannot be said that the charge that night completely destroyed Sachs' confidence.
But he also realized that, except for the Behemoth Legion, which had not yet actually been deployed, no other troop in the stronghold could stop such a torrent of cavalry.
In addition, if Xu Lai is not mobilized, the humans, who now have complete air and ground advantages, will definitely not miss the opportunity for the orcs to slowly concentrate their forces.
His Behemoth army could not arrive quickly enough, and if the rest of the troops continued to be attacked by Xu Lai a few more times, they would be completely dispersed.
By then, even if his Behemoth army was still there, could he still count on these beasts to climb the city walls?
Therefore, Sachs can only attack where the enemy must be rescued.
The Wolf Cavalry were causing sabotage in the rear, and Xu Lai, the only mobile force, had no choice but to go.
Of course, Xu Lai also had his own plans. He didn't know how many enemies and supplies were left in the stronghold, so he couldn't let the Stone City become an isolated city.
The lifeline in the rear cannot be destroyed by these wolf cavalry.
At the same time, he was also planning to take this opportunity to completely destroy the Wolf Cavalry Corps in the stronghold.
In order to maintain the suppression on the wolf cavalry, Xu Lai left the Naaru, the 4th-level apprentice knights, and the 5th-level knight attendants outside the Stone City.
The 6000 cavalrymen he brought with him were all regular knights of level 6.
In addition to these 6000 cavalry, Xu Lai also has two support troops in the rear.
One is the Knight Wind Legion led by Jimmy. Jimmy will personally lead the most elite troops, including the Guards Knights who all surrendered because of Aini, a total of 3000 elite cavalry to come to support.
Of course, they were not following Xu Lai and the others, but were rushing over from the direction where Kenlo Hag might have fled.
In addition to Jimmy, there is another knight group that even traitors like Aini and Parame are unaware of.
Even this group of knights was not part of Xu Lai's plan at first.
His Holiness the Pope ordered the migration of millions of believers through the Northern Empire to the grassland area.
To protect these millions of believers, the Pope sent two orders of knights, one order of priests and one order of priests.
Crimson Bishop Dur led the priests in the front, Crimson Bishop Wright led the priests to guard the rear, and Pierce led the knights in the middle to coordinate.
Lina led the former Sixth Knights, now the Third Knights, as the vanguard.
The eight famous knightly orders of the temple were reduced to six after several battles and the addition of a large number of apprentice knights.
In addition to the death of Jerome, the former leader of the Third Knights, all the Second Knights, who were the strongest after the First Knights, were killed on the land of the Western Empire.
From the Grand Master of the Knights Temperance to the grooms, laborers, and church members, nearly 10,000 knights were completely wiped out.
At this moment, the temple also dispatched two knightly orders because these one million believers are the future of the temple and cannot be lost in the slightest.
As a vanguard officer, Lina should not have participated in any battle for the safety of millions of believers.
But after the other party reconnected with Xu Lai at Luo Mingru's place, he immediately brought all members of the original Sixth Knights to participate in the battle without saying a word.
When we arrived at Luo Mingru's place, we had already entered Xu Lai's sphere of influence. Along the way, we could see many outposts built by Xu Lai, as well as patrolling knights.
Xu Lai also gave instructions to Su Ya, asking her to take Elena with her to meet these believers.
Besides, there is another knight order and two Crimson Bishops in the rear, so it is not a big deal for a third knight order to leave alone.
Because the establishment of two knightly orders was abolished in succession, and a lot of young apprentice knights joined, and the ranking was improved.
The number of the Third Knights has increased from 2000 to 3000, and the number of paladins and knights has increased.
These are just the combat soldiers. If we include the grooms who follow the army, the laborers who are responsible for building the camp, the cooks who transport food and cook, etc., the regular and auxiliary soldiers of the Third Knights would number more than 7000.
During the war, only 3000 knights are needed, and they will block the wolf cavalry's escape direction from the north.
Xu Lai had never thought of using this knight order before, but the leader of the knight order, Lina, told Xu Lai.
It is said that Xu Lai is the leader of this knightly order, so there is no reason for him not to let his own people participate at this time.
Speaking of which, Xu Lai has indeed never resigned from the position of Knight Commander, and when he left, Lina made it clear that he would always be retained in the position of Knight Commander.
Now that others were willing to help, Xu Lai couldn't refuse. Besides, there was a need, so he simply let Lina participate.
During the day, the Pegasus Knight followed, and Xu Lai was behind, and he never used his full strength to catch up.
Otherwise, he has the talent of speed, and at the same time carries an imperial flag like the Knight's Sword, and also has a grandmaster-level attack acceleration scroll.
Moreover, in terms of mana recovery speed and upper limit, Xu Lai can never be worse than Kenro Hag.
Kenro Hag has large-scale acceleration skills such as Wolf Stampede, and the regular knights under Xu Lai also all have the ability to charge and sprint.
In addition to the full morale bonus on his side, the enemy's morale is getting lower and lower. If Xu Lai really wants to chase them, he will have to be unable to see these wolf riders.
The reason for always keeping a safe distance is to drive these wolf riders into the encirclement.
Otherwise, even if Xu Lai caught up with them, the other side would break him up into small pieces, and he didn't dare to divide his troops randomly. At most, he could only wipe out a few hundred or a few thousand wolf riders.
Xu Lai didn't know how many groups the wolf riders were divided into, but judging from reports from various places, there were at least three groups.
But no matter what happens in the other routes, Xu Lai just needs to keep an eye on Kenro Hag's wolf riders.
Because the most elite Frost Giant Wolf Cavalry and those Level 7 Wolf Warriors are now all under Kenro Hag's command, totaling almost 6000 people.
Kenlo Hag divided his troops according to the size of Xu Lai's troops. He knew that there would always be a battle between him and Xu Lai.
But in such a battle, Kenro Hag did not want to be surrounded.
After fleeing for four or five days, Kenlo Hag and his wolf cavalry were finally surrounded by the three major knightly orders.
Although he was surrounded, Kenro Hag was not panicked.
He calmly pulled down his mask and pointed in the direction of Jimmy Martell:
"Pass the order, all wolf riders, charge in this direction.
After rushing out, they immediately dispersed and moved freely in small groups. "
The adjutant looked in that direction, swallowed his saliva and said:
"That way we go southeast. It is said that the lair of that guy surnamed Xu is there. Why don't we break out to the northeast?"
After taking a look at the flag flying in the northeast, Kenlo Hag said without even raising his head:
"If we go southeast, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. If we go northeast, the wolf riders will be completely wiped out.
Go ahead. Although there are many enemy cavalry in that direction, their fighting spirit is the weakest. As long as you are not afraid of death, you will definitely be able to charge through."
The adjutant nodded, then suddenly asked in a daze: "We? General, aren't you coming with us?"
Kenro Hager said nothing more.
After all the military orders were passed down, he led 3000 Frost Wolf Knights, changed their formation, and rushed towards Xu Lai.
If this extremely fast cavalry is not stopped first, none of the more than 6000 wolf riders present will be able to escape. (End of this chapter)
