The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

The battle against the orcs can basically be declared over, and everything else revolves around one theme.

Hunt down the orcs left on the grassland, clean up the battlefields and collect the spoils.

After finishing these things, Xu Lai still has more important things to do.

He wanted to fulfill the promise he made before the battle began and give rewards and pensions to the soldiers of the Qingfeng Group and the mercenaries who came to the Hard Stone City to fight.

In addition, this battle with the orcs also exposed many internal problems.

The officials he appointed also needed to be assessed and reviewed one by one.

Rewards and punishments should always be corresponding. Those who have made contributions should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished. Only in this way can the enthusiasm of soldiers and officials be stimulated.

In the end, Xu Lai was extremely unwilling to be invaded by orcs at his doorstep.

He planned to take advantage of the moment when the stronghold army had been completely stunned by him and take revenge on the orcs.

Revenge is not for the purpose of squeezing out some more money from this miserable and barren land.

Even if Xu Lai really wanted to, he couldn't do it. First, he didn't have the time, and second, the wilderness was too poor.

But even if he couldn't get any benefits, or even if Xu Lai paid far more than he gained, he had to do it.

After this battle, the orcs were seriously injured. It would take at least forty to fifty years to recover from the thousands of behemoths alone.

But don't let these orcs get scared and let them go so easily.

Once they find an opportunity, they will surely think about taking another bite of meat from the grassland.

However, food should be eaten one bite at a time, and no matter how many things there are to do, they can only be done bit by bit.

You can safely leave the Stone City to Lena, including the orc camp outside the city and all the supplies.

During this period, other cities sent a lot of laborers to Wanshi City.

Now the orcs have been repelled. Except for some remnants at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain, the orcs in other places have basically been cleared out.

The three gaps in the Stone City have been repaired in the past few days, and a lot of catapults have also been repaired.

The civilians are now either building new arrow towers or making catapults and ammunition for archers.

Now, all these works can be stopped for a while.

Without external threats, Stone City no longer needs to be built into a military fortress.

With so many laborers here, Xu Lai doesn't need to worry about small things like transporting supplies.

He took Wang Chao and his logistics corps, as well as the knight troops, and continued to rush to the foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Elvy and the flying troops she led were approaching without any hero bonus.

If she had not previously destroyed the orcs' flying corps, leaving only a few golden eagles, she might not have been able to gain a foothold.

Even so, Elvy did not directly dispatch the Angel Legion, but only dispatched the Royal Griffins to bomb when orcs passed by.

The orcs are still okay with other things, but they really have no way to deal with the bombing of the Royal Griffins.

Even though there is a stronghold behind them, let’s not talk about the conflicts between the tribes in the stronghold camp.

Even if they worked together and tried their best, there was no way to deal with these griffins.

The griffins' swooping speed was so fast that not only the long-range attacks from the camp, but even spells could not reach these griffins.

Elvy was in charge of the coordination, using griffins to guard the largest pass in the Pingfeng Mountains, while the Seraphim patrolled the Pingfeng Mountains.

Most of the orcs who tried to cross the Pingfeng Mountains and return to the wilderness were stragglers.

Even without the support of heroes, they still have the angel general Elvy on their side. No matter which race's 9th-level soldiers are, they can never be a match for the Seraph.

What's more, the morale of these Seraphim is high, while the opponents they need to face have almost zero morale and no will to fight at all.

Only Elvy needs to be in the center, so most of these Seraphim will not fly too far.

If the orcs were not so anxious to go home, and ran farther away and climbed more dangerous mountain trails, Elvy would not bother to care.

Anyway, on those mountain trails where there is no road at all, more people die from falling than those who climb back up.

In addition to those who died from falling, some also died of starvation.

As difficult as it was for the orcs to come, it will be just as difficult for them to leave.

Sachs knew that it would take time for the orcs to evacuate.

Therefore, although arrangements for retreat were being made, logistical resources were still being transported to the camp.

But in a field battle, not only did he lose most of his Behemoth Legion, but he also left the camp and the supplies in the camp to Xu Lai.

This base camp at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain is used entirely for transit, although it does store some supplies.

But based on the principle of first come, first served, most of the ogres and Cyclops who had arrived earlier were taken away in a hurry.

The remaining rations were not enough for the defenders in the base camp to eat themselves, so how could they possibly distribute them to the rest of the orcs?

In fact, if Augu and other shamans were not still there, the defenders of the base camp would have fled long ago.

With Augu and the others around, Elvy didn't dare to attack the camp. These shamans were level 8 spellcasters and had the advantage of being at home.

For this reason, some orcs, under the guidance of Augu and others, were able to avoid the angel troops and return through small paths and remote mountain roads.

But they didn't have enough food. If they couldn't hunt wild animals to fill their stomachs, they would have no chance of returning alive.

Elvy has a space ring with enough food stored in it.

Not to mention living with these flying troops in Pingfeng Mountains for a year or two, ten days or half a month is completely sustainable.

But the orcs had already run out of food. Pingfeng Mountain was close to the wilderness, and resources were actually extremely scarce. There were not many animals living in the mountains.

Aug originally wanted Ruda to take the golden eagles to transport food, although it could not satisfy the needs of most orcs.

But as long as the core figures and elite of the orcs are not starved to death, they can quickly recover when they return to the wilderness.

But, with Saxophone around, Ruda might still listen to these shamans.

Now even Sachs had escaped, and almost no orcs on the battlefield managed to escape alive.

Luda himself is also a half-orc. It is normal for half-orcs to be discriminated against by other orcs, but now that they are being fought to the point of almost being exterminated, how can he not be angry?

Besides, they don’t have much combat power now and are particularly good at flying, so Elvy doesn’t want to pay attention to them.

But if they started helping to transport food, it would be strange if Elvy let them go.

Now that the orcs in the stronghold have suffered heavy losses, Ruda must also consider the retreat for himself and the orcs.

The orcs, who had lost a large number of warriors and had always been used as servants by the orcs, would inevitably suffer more bullying in the future.

The flying corps in his hands is almost the last armed force to defend his own race.

At this time, he was unwilling to lose even a little bit. Besides, although Ruda was not the chief of the Orcs, he was an Orc hero and his status was much higher than that of the Shaman Aug.

The other party was not qualified to give him orders at all. Even if Luda did not listen, he would have an excuse in the future.

Later, in order to avoid Augu and others from putting pressure on other orc heroes, Ruda simply took the flying corps and flew towards his own tribe.

Anyway, the legion has been disbanded, so he is free to do whatever he wants.

Without Ruda's army, the only one that could move freely in Pingfeng Mountains, Augu and his men were really at a loss.

Finally, they invested their limited resources into upgrading the base camp, and finally built the landmark building and escape route of the stronghold.

With an escape route, at least all the heroes in the stronghold can leave through the escape route.

In addition to the heroes, the three shamans can also leave by casting spells.

However, the escape route is not allowed for ordinary orcs without identity, even spellcasters such as priests are not qualified.

Moreover, the escape route is limited. Only one person is allowed to pass at a time, and there is a cooling-down period after each use.

The farther you run, the longer the cooldown time.

It was at this time that Xu Lai led the cavalry and rushed to the orc base camp.

Ordinary orcs are no longer allowed to stay in the base camp, which is already packed to the brim.

These orcs had no interest in fighting Xu Lai.

He would rather be slaughtered by the knights under Xu Lai than turn back to resist. Instead, he desperately ran into the mountains.

Upon hearing the news of Xu Lai's massacre outside, the orc nobles in the base camp also started to make a fuss.

The escape route, which had been used in a relatively orderly manner, was suddenly snatched away by everyone, and no one wanted to be the last one left.

Although these days, Augu and other shamans have been setting up defenses for the base camp.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that this base camp could not be defended and its fall was a matter of time.

With Xu Lai's help, perhaps those royal griffins are already looking for angles to dive.

Influenced by this idea, the remaining orc nobles all lost their last bit of composure and started fighting each other.

Augu and others sighed. These orc nobles had already fought each other several times.

Even if they were allowed to escape back to the wilderness, it might not be a good thing for the stronghold.

Maybe when they return to the wilderness, these tribes will start fighting again.

But they have no choice. They are just shamans, with the right to make suggestions but not the executive power.

Unlike what these orc heroes thought, Xu Lai had no plans to gather his troops for an attack.

In order to facilitate the arrangement of defenses and traps, Augu and others did not even allow ordinary orcs in.

It can be said that as long as the angels and griffins land in and trigger the traps inside, most of them will be killed or injured.

There is even a great possibility that they themselves will be buried in this base.

The current orc base is basically a large bomb that can explode at any time, just waiting for the tactless enemies to crash into it and die together with them.

Xu Lai did not prepare for a strong attack, not because he realized this, but because cavalry were not good at attacking cities.

Alvy and the others could fly in, but Xu Lai had asked them to stay there until now, so how could he bear to let them continue to rush in and fight alone?

Besides, killing them one by one is so slow! It's not as fast as using spells to clear the field quickly.

Xu Lai unsheathed his sword, and the Blade of Doom, with its terrifying aura of doom, summoned countless meteors of fire, which smashed down on the heads of all the orcs.

Once was not enough, Xu Lai used the refresh ball to summon it again.

Unlike the previous Doomsday Judgment, the orcs are now in chaos and the legion has long been disbanded.

Although there are still many orc heroes here, some have learned to resist.

But they did not form a legion, and even if they had resistance, they could only provide support to the small number of their subordinates.

The real boss of the stronghold had left long ago, and most of the orc heroes left at this moment were advent heroes.

They didn't have many troops to begin with, and after so many of them were defeated, there were even fewer left.

A small number of orc soldiers can enjoy the resistance effect, but it has no impact on the overall situation.

Moreover, if it is just resistance, even if it is upgraded to the ultimate, there is only a 25% chance of direct resistance, reducing spell damage by 25%.

Without the blessing of anti-magic treasures and the early release of fire-controlling magic, the mere 25% damage reduction cannot save the orc's life.

Unless they are extremely lucky, two Doomsday Judgments will trigger a 25% resistance effect.

The probability of this happening is only 12.5. Among 100 orcs, only 12 can resist both times.

The most important thing is that among the orc heroes present, the one with the highest resistance level is only advanced.

However, this orc hero with high resistance does not have any orc soldiers under his command, leaving him completely alone.

No resistance, no anti-magic equipment, no fire-control magic.

In order to set traps, Mok and other shamans have even turned all the spell materials into spell traps, so much so that there is not even a fire protection array.

All the unfavorable factors that were originally imposed on the Doomsday Judgment disappeared completely this time.

Doomsday Judgment finally revealed its true power in front of these orcs for the first time.

The terrifying flaming meteors, with the power to destroy the world, kept falling on the head of every orc.

Even some more advanced orcs with better equipment managed to survive.

The second meteor that followed would definitely burn the orc into piles of powder.

Even the orc heroes and high-level orcs hiding in the base camp were not spared.

Although the fireball was blocked by the building above, the base camp built by the orcs was a completely wooden structure.

As base camp buildings, original spells can only cause a small amount of damage to them, but fire can restrain these wooden buildings.

In addition, there were many orcs in the base camp, and it was a double doomsday judgment. A large number of fire meteors fell down, and eventually the base camp was set on fire.

Although Xu Lai's spell damage was absorbed by the base camp, the magic traps in the base camp were triggered.

The rumbling sound of explosions continued to ring in the ears of Xu Lai and others, leaving them stunned.

The sound of explosions continued, and there were all kinds of strange phenomena in the sky, including fire clouds, thunderstorms, ice and frost, and everything else.

After more than ten minutes, the explosions gradually stopped, but by then the enemy's base camp had been completely blown to pieces, leaving only debris all over the ground. (End of this chapter)
