The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

The reason why Xu Lai had to rush to Qingfeng City overnight was because he received news from Su Ya that patrolling knights had discovered traces of wolf riders at the border of Qingfeng City.

Kenlo Hag's wolf cavalry had tens of thousands of them, but he himself only brought 6000 of them. The rest of the wolf cavalry must have been divided into several groups as well.

However, Kenro Hag led the most elite Frost Wolf Riders, while the other Wolf Riders were either of relatively low levels or had heroes leading them of average strength.

The grassland had experienced several major wars, and Xu Lai did not have many cavalry that could be mobilized, so he could only choose one to carry out the encirclement and capture.

If he could only choose one, he would naturally choose Kenro Hag, who posed the greatest threat and had the highest combat effectiveness.

Looking at Xu Lai's receding back, Jimmy glared at the cavalry captains who were kneeling in a row on the ground with hatred.

Those 3000 wolf riders fled from his direction, making him, the commander-in-chief, lose face in front of Xu Lai.

"Don't worry, father. The lord won't blame you for such a small matter.

The Lord deliberately asked me to stay here to comfort you."

Jimmy sighed and said, "Mr. Xu Lai has always been tolerant, how could I not know that he would not punish me for this.

But if I don't do this thing well, won't people doubt my ability?

After having this impression, people will be less likely to assign difficult tasks to me in the future.

Without missions, there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds. Even though our Martell family is prosperous now, we will be surpassed by others sooner or later.

My father's character has already been determined. He will probably just be a city lord in the future. Xu Lailing's main goal is to move forward a few steps. I might be able to get a higher title.

But whether our family can reach the top depends on you in the future."

Patting Jilong on the shoulder, Jimmy Martell spoke earnestly.

Jilong swallowed silently, bit his lip and said, "But from what I see, the Lord doesn't seem to have big ambitions.

He had no interest in either the Western Empire or the Northern Empire.

Even if we don't want to make enemies with the Northern Empire now, in the Western Empire, in addition to the land in the center being seized by Hell, there are at least dozens of towns on the edge that are currently ownerless."

After thinking for a while, Jimmy said in silence, "I have also inquired about those dozens of towns, and the places bordering us have all been taken over by those heroes who came from the sky.

You should have been able to feel the speed at which the heroes from heaven were developing during this period.

As long as they are given the opportunity, they can easily defeat enemies that are several times their number with their huge advantage in expertise.

I think, Lord Xu Lai, may just want to keep them as a barrier to resist the invasion of Hell.

Besides, we are still facing internal and external troubles. Those descended heroes have occupied these cities, and no one is willing to hand them over.

At this time, it would be good enough if these guys don't come and cause trouble for us.

However, you are right. Generally speaking, our lord is still a little lacking in ambition.

When appropriate, we can give Mr. Xu Lai some advice.

However, you must not act on your own. Always remember that we can only make suggestions, not give opinions.

Lord Xu Lai is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. My father and I work for him, and as long as we don't make any big mistakes and don't offend him, we won't end up doing too badly.

You must not confuse priorities and not understand your own identity."

Jilong smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. I still have enough money and will never do anything rash."

Jimmy nodded and said, "There is one more thing you need to pay attention to. You are now working for Mr. Xu Lai.

It’s time to let go of past relationships and reconcile any grudges that need to be reconciled.

You have to first figure out why Lord Xu Lai wants to keep you by his side.

He has no one available now, so the nobles of the old times who can be of use have to be used.

You must not make any mistakes at this time, and do not be blinded by the small favors, small grudges, and small grievances in front of you. "

Jilong was shocked and said with a folded hand: “Don’t worry, father, I am not someone who has never seen anything.

I know what is long-term, and I will pay attention to it.”

Jimmy patted Jilong on the shoulder and said again: "Although Master Xu Lai gave you a few days off, you can't really take it as a holiday to rest.

When the situation was urgent, Lord Xu Lai appointed many officials, most of whom were recommended by my father.

At that time, I was very cautious and sent special spies to each official recommended by my father.

The information they have passed back has now filled several bookcases.

You should compile the military reports during this period and the reports they have sent back into a book and report to His Excellency Xu Lai.

Recently, the wolf riders have been rampant, and the orders issued by Lord Xu Lai have not been fully executed.

There are so many problems, and you don't need to hide them from your father.

Time is limited and the people I can recommend are limited, and I can only hear a lot about their character.

There must be some who do not live up to their reputation. I have also informed Mr. Xu Lai in advance, so he will not doubt his father's intentions because of this.

Even if the father must be held accountable, it would not be a big sin.

On the contrary, if you deliberately conceal it for me at this time, it will be difficult for you to stay by Mr. Xu Lai's side in the future."

Jimmy thought very clearly that he was the first noble to surrender to Xu Lai, and it can be said that he made great contributions to Xu Lai's unification of the grassland.

Even if Xu Lai alone, he could unify the grassland. At the very least, he greatly accelerated the process.

The most important thing is, without the strong support of their Martell family, the grassland would still be in chaos at this time.

Let alone integrating the power of the entire grassland, it is still unclear whether Xu Lai can take down Aini and all his territories.

If the orcs came at this time, Aini would never rebel because the orcs had a stable food supply, a large army, and rich intelligence.

Facing such an opponent, what could Xu Lai use to fight him? He might not even be able to protect his own foundation, Qingfeng City.

So, no matter from which aspect, Jimmy has made great contributions to Xu Lai.

With such a great achievement, he would not be severely punished unless he rebelled again one day.

But only his generation can enjoy such treatment.

If his son put personal interests above public interest, perhaps Xu Lai would not say much for his sake, but he would definitely become estranged from him in the future.

If we distance ourselves from each other, all the friendships we have built now will be of no use in the future.

Here, Jimmy is using his many years of life experience to teach his son tirelessly.

On the other side, Xu Lai rushed to Qingfeng City overnight.

Although it was unlikely that thousands of wolf cavalrymen without siege capabilities would be able to capture the Qingfeng City that he had built with great effort.

It's better to be safe than sorry. Qingfeng City is his lifeblood, and his investment in this city has reached an extremely exaggerated level.

What's more, this city has accumulated countless resources from his efforts in suppressing horse bandits and plundering underground cities.

Other buildings such as the City in the Clouds and the Golden Statue of the God of War must not be lost.

On the contrary, he could afford to compensate for the losses of the military camps, large trading markets, villages and towns he built outside the city.

Kenro Hag divided the wolf cavalry into five teams, each with about 5 people.

If there are too many supplies, it will be difficult to obtain; if there are too few, combat effectiveness cannot be formed, and there is no way to resolve the battle quickly.

When they were carrying out sabotage behind enemy lines, the thing they most feared was being caught by the enemy.

Once they are delayed and reinforcements are called, it will be even more difficult for them to escape, and it is very easy for them to be wiped out in the rear.

In the evening, Xu Lai also received a message from Lena, and learned that the Qingfeng Legion had won a victory in Hard Stone City.

The losses were almost negligible due to the Angel Legion's overnight resurrection.

In the end, there were only more than a hundred civilians and dozens of soldiers whose bodies could not be found, and there was no way to resurrect them.

The rest of the casualties were basically recovered under the treatment of the pastor.

Even if one uses the spell to regenerate severed limbs, one only needs to rest for two days before being able to return to battle.

This means that after a battle, less than 500 soldiers withdrew from the fight.

But compared with the losses of our own troops, the rest of the losses were relatively large.

The city wall was destroyed in three places, and three catapults were completely damaged, including an enchanted flame catapult.

The remaining five catapults on the city wall also needed major repairs, and more than 5 crossbow carts were damaged, with a three-digit number needing repairs.

In terms of ammunition, the Phantom Shooter is very powerful and consumes its ammunition at an extremely alarming rate.

More than 100,000 rounds of armor-piercing ammunition used by the crossbow carts and crossbowmen have been consumed. There is not much left in stock, and most of the remaining ammunition is ordinary ammunition.

About half of the fire bomb stock was used up at once, and the remaining magic ammunition of various types added up to only more than a thousand rounds.

If the orcs organized such an offensive again, the existing ammunition in Stone City would not be able to kill the enemy as quickly as they did today and destroy the enemy's morale.

Of course, even so, Reina still has the confidence that she can continue to defend the Stone City.

What she meant by this was to remind Xu Lai that the ammunition and supplies in Wanshi City still needed to be replenished.

She used the supplies delivered before the battle to build city walls and arrow towers. The supplies delivered after the battle could only support three or four rounds of repairs at most.

The premise is that the damage can only be as severe as it is today and cannot continue to expand.

Xu Lai didn't know yet that the orcs had already begun to think about retreating because of their heavy losses.

He only knew that if an entire camp was mobilized, the amount of manpower and material resources that could be mobilized was unimaginable, let alone a force that had accumulated for hundreds of years.

But he had forgotten that the place where the orcs lived was called the Wild Land.

For hundreds of years, it has been extremely difficult for these orcs to survive and reproduce, let alone accumulate resources.

Of course, Xu Lai didn’t really forget, he just had no choice but to prepare for the worst and then try his best.

The stupidest thing to do would be to lose the entire war due to overly optimistic estimates and lack of preparation.

Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

But he couldn't meet Lena's requirements for the time being.

The subsequent teams transporting supplies still cannot be organized.

Although they had just wiped out Kenro Hag, her wolf riders were still wreaking havoc in the rear.

Xu Lai was so busy riding horses all night that he wished he could just sleep on the horse.

But he was still unable to cope with all the tasks and didn't know how long it would take to eliminate these wolf riders.

No, he no longer expected to wipe out all these wolf riders. He just hoped to drive them away as soon as possible, or at least drive away a few of them.

Only in this way can he reorganize the team to transport supplies to Hard Stone City, because only then can he be sure that he can keep an eye on those wolf riders.

Lena expressed her understanding of the situation in the rear, and Xu Lai rushed back to Qingfeng City overnight.

However, he did not enter the city, nor did he even alert the defenders of Qingfeng City. He only greeted the patrolling scouts and asked them and the cooks at the nearby post station to prepare breakfast for him and his knights.

They fought during the day and raided at night, with only one or two temporary breaks in between, each lasting no more than two hours.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark at this time, the wolf riders did not actually approach the super city of Qingfeng City.

It is easy to imagine that such a mega city must have a large number of garrisons.

The wolf riders have only two tasks. One is to obtain as many supplies as possible to sustain themselves.

The other is to destroy the human rear as much as possible and plunder any caravans and transport teams.

Being behind enemy lines and attacking their huge fortified city is simply seeking death. These wolf riders are not a suicide squad.

Even if it is suicide, it has to have meaning.

Wouldn't it be more effective and possible to complete the mission if we stayed on the outskirts of this fortified city and plundered the caravans entering and leaving the city at any time?

Since the enemy was not approaching the city, there was naturally no need for Xu Lai to enter the city. He could catch up with the enemy faster outside the city.

After a quick two-hour rest and some food to replenish his energy, the Holy Dragon Xiaolan, who had been following Xu Lai all the way, successfully helped him find the target he wanted.

Although those Pegasus Knights could also fly, they were no match for the Holy Dragon in terms of speed or vision, so Xu Lai simply left it to Lina.

After finding the target and confirming the direction, Xu Lai was no longer in a hurry.

People can still endure continuous charge, after all, they are sitting on the horse the whole time, but even the strongest warhorse cannot bear it and needs a longer time to recover.

It just so happened that the group of targets that Shenglong had found were also moving towards him, so he might as well just sit back and wait for them to come.

There were no accidents in the battle. Although three hours could not allow the knights to fully recover, a short charge was no problem at all.

This group of wolf riders is quite large, with around 6000 men in total. They are another main force of wolf riders besides Kenro Hag.

The leader of the team was actually also a wolf rider hero, but he was just an advent hero and could not be considered a real orc.

Of course, to Xu Lai, there was no difference.

After so long, and having killed countless heroes, he no longer has the fear and anxiety he had at the beginning.

However, it makes no difference to Xu Lai, but it makes a huge difference to the hero himself. He has no intention of dying for the orcs at all.

"I surrender, brother, I surrender!" (End of this chapter)
