The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Although the establishment of the Eagle Kingdom caused some response, it shocked the several delegations that attended the ceremony.

But if we put it in the whole world, it’s not a big deal.

What shocked the delegation was not the scale and grandeur of the ceremony. In fact, the founding ceremony held by Xu Lai was very simple.

The expenses for the ceremony were not even one thousandth or one ten-thousandth of the rewards given to the military and civilians.

However, at the founding ceremony, two camps actually directly surrendered to Xu Lai, which is unimaginable.

There was not much commotion outside because everyone felt that the addition of a small kingdom to a small grassland was not a big deal.

However, if they knew that this small grassland country had defeated two entire camps, they would be shocked.

After the wedding and the founding of the country, officials at all levels returned to their respective positions, and Xu Lai also enjoyed a rare honeymoon.

Although the public's impression of Xu Lai was somewhat lowered by revealing the identities of Yu Lan, Gisele and others, Yu Lan and others were deeply moved.

These days, Xu Lai really had some good days.

Having everything provided for him is nothing at all. His good days are that the king no longer has to attend court early in the morning.

The story of feasting and drinking was still too exaggerated, but these women really obeyed Xu Lai in every way these days.

Especially Elena, this already beautiful flower has had to be watered many times almost every day in the past ten days.

Not only did she grow more and more beautiful, but she also successfully gave birth to a new life.

Originally, even in modern society with advanced technology, it would take about a month to confirm.

However, in the world of magic, especially among priests who are extremely sensitive to life energy.

The moment there is a life reaction, it can almost be confirmed.

This is good news for Xu Lai, the entire Eagle Kingdom, and even for the temple.

For Xu Lai, he might not be able to accept that he has offspring so soon.

But with his own blood, he will have a stronger sense of integration with this world and this land, and will be more accepting of this place.

At the same time, this also means that the Eagle Kingdom has its own heir.

Even if Xu Lai accidentally encounters an accident in the future, the entire kingdom will not fall apart.

Of course, the child would not be born for nearly a year at this time. Even if he was born, if Xu Lai had any accident, the child might not grow up healthily.

So for Xu Lai, the responsibility on his shoulders has undoubtedly become heavier.

Elena, who successfully became pregnant, instantly became the most precious treasure in the palace.

The little blue dragon, who used to be the most mischievous in the palace, was directly driven out of the harem and was only allowed to move around in the front hall.

News also came from the temple, saying that His Majesty the God of War personally sent down an oracle, exempting Elena from praying for the next year.

Su Ya even ordered that all the chefs and servants in the entire palace must be on call 24 hours a day to provide services to Elena.

Suya and her family were unable to give birth to children, so Xu Lai's blood in Elena's belly became their most precious thing.

Whenever they had time, they would run to Elena's room and personally watch over her, not letting her do anything.

With such a treasure, Elena was under tremendous pressure and even became a little anxious.

Xu Lai was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he had no other choice. The women even didn't let him get involved.

Every day, he had to find time to accompany Elena for a walk, to relax her, and to comfort this girl who was still a little girl herself.

Of course, he didn't relax for long.

The first three months of pregnancy are extremely unstable.

But in the magical world, after a month, the body can slowly receive nourishment from the divine power.

Although Elena is young, she is already the archbishop of the temple. She has high attainments in sacred magic and her body is full of sacred energy.

Any woman in this world may have problems, except Elena, who is unlikely to be in danger.

After staying in the palace for more than a month, Xu Lai had the rare opportunity to handle many government affairs.

Of course, his so-called handling was actually to watch how Su Ya handled it and occasionally give his own opinions.

He stayed in the palace mainly to wait for the reorganization and reorganization of the Knight's Wind and the Qingfeng Legion.

All major cities in the Eagle Kingdom have formed their own security teams and city guards.

Although the number of people is not large, it is enough to clear out the nearby wild monsters, newly born horse thieves and the like.

The two legions currently have no internal or external combat missions and are mainly focused on training.

After a month of training, all departments have become familiar with each other. Even if they cannot enforce orders and maintain strict queues, at least the superiors and subordinates are familiar with each other.

But Xu Lai could no longer wait. The best training was actual combat.

What's more, Xu Lai has never been a person who waits passively.

Knowing that the Boss of Hell may launch an attack on the Eagle Kingdom at any time, we can't just sit there and wait for death.

If you go southeast from Qingfeng City for more than 300 kilometers, you will reach the border of the Western Empire.

Castle-level cities with strong defensive capabilities, such as Konastern Castle, Midheim, and Bretonnia, are all closer to the Northern Empire.

If the army of hell attacks and heads straight for Qingfeng City, there will only be two or three base-level cities standing in its way.

Even a castle-level city could not give Xu Lai much sense of security, let alone an ordinary base camp.

It is too late to urgently reinforce it now. The Stone City has a ready-made castle heart, which has been strengthened for more than two months, but only one side is usable.

Moreover, on that side, the number of arrow towers and city defense facilities was insufficient, and there were no protective magic arrays or spell towers at all.

Although Xu Lai has now established a magic department, Nuofa is also actively recruiting more mages for Xu Lai.

But even if we unite with the local magic guild, we can only support the construction of Qingfeng City's spell tower and protective magic circle.

The good news is that this fixed magic protection formation is much better than the one they set up in the camp.

Qingfeng City’s first protective magic circle is naturally the fire protection magic circle that is most effective in restraining the Hell camp.

At the stronghold, it can only provide an average of 10% protection effect at best.

But with Xu Lai sparing no expense in selecting the best and most advanced materials to set up, Qingfeng City's fire protection array can offset 35% of the fire damage.

Of course, this comes at an extra cost.

Because this fire protection array is too wide and occupies too many spell positions, only one more layer of protection array can be deployed.

Moreover, no matter what the cost of this layer, the effect is naturally more than half worse than the first layer of fire protection array.

In addition, because the first layer is a fire protection array, the second layer must not be equipped with an ice protection array.

After much deliberation, Xu Lai chose the second protective magic circle, which is a more general one to prevent ranged damage.

The second layer of protective magic array had just been finalized before Xu Lai led his troops to leave, but had not yet been built. Undoubtedly, Xu Lai chose the most expensive and most difficult plan.

According to Nofa and his team's estimates, even if the entire protective magic circle is fully constructed, it can only protect against 18% of ranged damage at most.

However, even so, Xu Lai still needed to spend more than 500 million gold coins in resources and required hundreds of mages such as Nuofa to spend a full two months to build it.

Both the difficulty and cost of construction far exceed that of the first level magic circle.

There is no other way. This is the second layer of protective magic circle. We can only repair and fill the foundation and gaps of the first layer of protective magic circle.

The above are just the construction costs.

After the magic array is built, it cannot operate naturally. It requires a lot of energy to operate.

There are two sources of energy. One is energy stone. Energy stones of all levels can be used, but the higher the energy density, the longer the duration.

Secondly, the magician provides energy by consuming his own mana to maintain the operation of the magic circle.

The mobile protective magic circle of the stronghold uses the energy provided by the three shamans and hundreds of high priests and priests.

The advantage is that the mage's mana can be restored, and the mages can move along with the magic circle to a certain extent.

The disadvantage is that during this period, the mages can't do anything else.

Xu Lai chose the former method.

Sufficient energy points were buried at the beginning of the construction of the magic circle, and when the time comes, we only need to arrange ordinary soldiers to replace the energy stones.

It’s not that Xu Lai has too many energy stones and they are burning them quickly, but the magic tower built by Qingfeng City also needs mages to provide energy.

The energy of the spell tower can be provided by energy stones, but its use and control can only be done by mages.

Nofa and the others calculated what would happen if both magic arrays were running at full power.

One hour is enough to consume energy worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

This is because Xu Lai formed an alliance with the Nagas and was able to obtain the deep-sea crystals at cost price.

Especially the second-level magic circle, although the effect is much worse, the specifications are the same as the first-level magic circle, so the consumption cannot be reduced at all.

This is because Qingfeng City lacks high-level mages, especially a mage at the level of a grand magician.

Therefore, Nofa and his colleagues estimated that the best effect would be 18% and the worst would be 12%, which is a relatively large fluctuation.

But even if we take an intermediate value of 15%, and with the support of a capital-level city wall, the ability to reduce long-range damage is still frighteningly high.

Unfortunately, the no-fly magic circle can no longer be added no matter what.

If the flying ability can be restricted, even if flying cannot be completely banned, it can greatly reduce the pressure against Hell.

The fire elves, winged demons, and devils of hell are all able to fly.

Let’s not talk about things at home for now. With Su Ya helping him out, Xu Lai doesn’t have to worry too much.

But even though Qingfeng City has made all the preparations, Xu Lai does not want the enemy's troops to reach his doorstep.

The Qingfeng City of today is no longer the Qingfeng City that had nothing in the past.

There are countless fertile fields, pastures and manors outside the city alone.

Just outside the city, Xu Lai also built a large trading market where tens of thousands of commodities were traded every day.

Once Qingfeng City is besieged by a large army, how can these facilities and manors outside the city be preserved?

By then, the blow to Qingfeng City, especially the economic blow, will be catastrophic.

Even if they could win, it would be a miserable victory, which was what Xu Lai least wanted to see.

Since Xu Lai doesn't want the battlefield to take place on his own land, because if he fights here, Xu Lai will suffer no matter whether he wins or loses.

Naturally, Xu Lai set his sights on the land of the Western Empire.

There are still several cities on the border of the Western Empire that have not been captured by the Hell Army.

These cities, regardless of whether they have been seized, have been continuously adding defenses to themselves over the past year or so.

Because they all know that one should not allow others to snore beside one's bed.

The key is that Hell is not very willing to accept surrender, or in other words, if you want to surrender to Hell, you must change camp.

Not only do you have to turn yourself into a ghost, but the entire city will also be transformed into a hellish city.

Many nobles of the Western Empire chose to surrender, and their fate made the heroes even more terrified.

In short, they were not willing to give up resistance easily, and the construction of city defenses never stopped for a day.

Of course, due to limited resources, they did the same thing as Xu Lai did at the beginning, giving priority to strengthening the side that was fighting the enemy.

In other words, if Xu Lai attacked from behind, the pressure he would face would not be that great.

In addition, Xu Lai urgently needed a place to train new recruits, and the wild monsters gathered in groups of three or five, so training them would be too time-consuming.

The cities on the border of the Western Empire are just the right places.

Since he was training new recruits, Xu Lai did not bring too many troops.

He only brought the Qingfeng Legion, 5 newly reorganized soldiers, and the Knights of Wind, which he personally commanded.

Use chivalry to protect the new recruits in the wild to prevent them from becoming desperate and fighting him to death.

After all, most of the new recruits of the Qingfeng Legion are first- and second-level infantrymen who have just joined the army, plus a part of the third- and fourth-level warriors from the Knight's Wind.

The average level of 5 people does not exceed level 3. Even if they are led by a superhero like Reina, the danger is extremely high.

In addition, Xu Lai also brought some siege equipment, at least to smash the catapults and other things on the enemy's city walls.

The phantom shooters were also pulled out.

There is a huge gap from the tier 6 Phantom Archer to the tier 8 Phantom Sharpshooter, and no building can directly upgrade it.

Moreover, Xu Lai also needs to use the ability of the phantom shooter to clear the enemy's long-range advantage.

The city wall poses no pressure at all to the Phantom Shooter.

Finally, there were the priests, priests and angels. Xu Lai recruited a total of 5000 people in one breath.

Since it is a military training, of course there can be no casualties. And who can better guarantee against casualties than priests and angels?

This time, the legion commander became Xu Lai.

After Xu Lai became the legion commander, abnormal abilities such as the Angel Alliance, the Holy Blood Bottle and the God-level offensive techniques were able to cover the entire army.

Reina leads 5 new recruits of the Qingfeng Legion. She is good at defense and can also cover these new recruits, making it less easy for them to die in battle.

On the contrary, the Knight's Style is only used to hold the line, and whether there is a special level of defense to cover it is not a problem at all. (End of this chapter)
