The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

The enemies in Longan City were very tenacious. Perhaps they were unwilling to hand over their foundation to others, so Jiang Jian and others fought from day till night.

There was no way. During the day, most of the infantrymen of the Qingfeng Legion climbed up the city walls and fought with the enemy.

Moreover, with the help of their defensive skills and many attributes, even mercenaries and high-level warriors who are much stronger than them find it difficult to kill these infantrymen.

But this still cannot change the fact that most of those who rushed up the city wall were new recruits of the Qingfeng Legion.

This wave of new recruits had a very good foundation. Except for some cavalrymen who came from herdsmen, the rest of the infantry were mostly believers.

These believers were indeed combat-trained. After only training in the military camp for more than a month, they were all promoted to level 2 infantry, apprentice archers, crossbowmen, etc.

The best among them can even advance to level 3 light infantry or level 3 archers.

However, even so, their level is still too low.

Low-level soldiers wear armor, and their defense and health may not be much different from high-level soldiers.

However, without even any advanced weapons, coupled with the weak strength of the low-level soldiers, they were unable to cause much damage to the mid- and high-level infantry.

Even with the blessing of the God of War statue, which can increase one level of strength, it is still difficult to break through the defense of mid- and high-level enemies.

Not to mention that on the city wall, Jiang Jian spared no expense to recruit the entire mercenary guild, a total of 4 to 5000 mercenaries.

These mercenaries may not have any other skills, but they are very good at saving their lives.

Although they are not as willing to arm themselves as heroes, they still have one or two magic-level equipment.

The soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion generally wield 2nd-level blank daggers or 3rd-level blank iron swords, which are difficult to break through even with the blessing of god-level offensive techniques.

Not to mention that those below level 3 and including level 3 are all low-level soldiers. When they fight with middle and high-level soldiers, they are suppressed by their rank.

However, the infantry of the Qingfeng Legion were unable to cause much damage.

The same goes for enemies.

Except for a few mercenaries who occasionally used skills to cause some damage, those smart mercenaries were too lazy to even use armor-piercing weapons and equipment.

After all, they are just level 2 or 3 infantrymen, wearing mainly leather armor and iron-studded leather armor, and they don't have much defensive power.

The basic defense is just this much. Even if you use the best armor-piercing arrows, it can only penetrate a few more points. It's a loss no matter how you look at it.

The infantrymen already have relatively high health points, with statues of the god of war to increase their physical fitness, sacred blood bottles to increase their blood, and commanders at all levels actively asking them to leave the front battlefield.

If you are recruiting soldiers, it will be difficult to control the team leaders and squadron leaders, as they need to control their own health points.

However, they were all conscripted infantry, and at the command, the injured hid in the rear.

Of course, the Qingfeng Corps did not really have no casualties. After all, they were new recruits, and their minds were always confused and blank, and they forgot all the orders.

There were also some who were killed instantly by a critical hit from the mercenaries.

But overall, our casualties were not heavy.

From the time they climbed the city wall in the afternoon until dark, only 5 people were killed.

Xu Lai yawned out of boredom. He was very sleepy after watching the game for a whole day.

Before it got completely dark, they took the initiative to sound the retreat.

Xu Lai returned the captured city to the enemy, and even Jiang Jian was stunned.

After all, they had high morale and god-level offensive skills, as well as a huge advantage in numbers, and the city walls had already been occupied.

The remaining enemies all retreated into the castle.

Jiang Jian also knew that once he was surrounded in the castle, he would basically just be waiting to die.

But when he was about to despair, all the enemies ran away.

Of course, as the actual victor, Xu Lai was not beaten away, but retreated actively and very calmly.

This difference is huge, because apart from the bodies of the Longan city defenders and temporarily hired mercenaries, not even a single enemy body was found in the city.

Although Jiang Jian on the city wall didn't understand what Xu Lai wanted to do, it did not stop him from taking out the gold coins in the castle and paying the mercenaries' wages on the spot.

No matter what Xu Lai was going to do, Jiang Jian had already regarded it as a humiliation of him by Xu Lai.

Therefore, even if he had to spend all his wealth and give up everything, he would do his best to make things difficult for Xu Lai and not let him seize the city easily.

Of course, he didn't know that Xu Lai didn't care about his thoughts or actions at all.

He just wanted to train more soldiers.

After all, the night is not suitable for fighting, and after fighting on the battlefield for half a day, the soldiers' physical strength and energy were exhausted.

Xu Lai came here to train the soldiers, not to use them as consumables, so of course he had to take the soldiers' physical and mental health into consideration.

At the same time, he was unwilling to waste the daily resurrection quota, so he had to finish today's battle before 12 o'clock.

Moreover, only after the battle is over can Reina replace the treasure and remove the Forbidden Magic Ball.

Without the restriction of the magic ball, the priests brought by Xu Lai had their place to use their skills this time.

Treat what you need, rest what you need, advance what you need, and use up today's resurrection energy before 12 o'clock.

Although there are many fallen soldiers, their levels are low, and their resurrection is not affected by the effects of the Holy Blood Bottle and defensive spells, and they don't even have the 5 physical bonus of the Statue of the God of War.

In the battle with the orcs in the stronghold, Xu Lai obtained nearly 50 Seraphim. Together with the archangels added in the past few months, the number of the angel legion is already considerable.

In particular, the number of Seraphim has exceeded 150 and is heading towards 200.

With so many angels, the number of resurrections is astonishingly high. The number of resurrected angels alone is close to 100,000. Together with the archangels, the number of health points that can be resurrected is almost more than 110,000.

The average basic health of a level 2 or 3 infantryman is about 120 points.

The soldiers recruited by Xu Lai all have good basic skills and relatively good physical fitness.

But even if the average health value is 150 points, the Angel Legion can resurrect more than 700 soldiers.

There is no doubt that such an astonishing amount of resurrections has brought back all the soldiers who died today.

Coincidentally, the battle report arrived at this time. The results were not very brilliant. More than 2000 knights, more than 3000 archers, 5000 infantrymen of various ranks, more than 1000 mercenaries, and finally more than 4000 militiamen and peasants were killed.

The results of a battle involving more than 10,000 people were not surprising compared to any of Xu Lai's previous battles.

Fortunately, this time the weak defeated the strong, using trainee infantrymen and trainee archers, whose average level was only 2nd, to kill enemies whose average level was 4th.

The average difference of 2 levels is a huge experience bonus for people.

Xu Lai came out to upgrade and deliberately brought the ring with infinite gold coins with him.

At this time, just change them directly and boldly, and upgrade all the soldiers that can be upgraded.

In this battle, a total of 8000 people advanced, and more than 200 people advanced twice. After the advancement, it was not a direct end. Xu Lai asked Yu Lantong to pass on his order and hand in the list of all the people who advanced twice.

Although the soldiers being trained this time are new recruits, the soldiers may be new, but the officers leading them are not.

Just like Brandi, he was the commander of the entire infantry regiment, but was temporarily pulled over by Xu to lead the new recruits.

There is no way. New recruits are new recruits after all. When they are on the battlefield, they may not even know the difference between front, back, left and right. They are so bloodthirsty that they may even kill their own people.

There must be someone who can guide them, and grassroots officers play this key role.

However, when the Qingfeng Corps is fighting separately, officers can be temporarily deployed. What about in the future?

Therefore, in order to train this troop of new recruits, in addition to the new recruits becoming familiar with the battlefield and improving their ranks, the grassroots officers must also be able to keep up.

These 200-odd people who advanced for the second time either had good talents or had personal gifts, such as natural supernatural powers.

Others have received more training and have higher basic skills. For example, one-handed weapons and ranged weapons are of higher levels and have more damage bonuses, so the damage caused is naturally higher.

Of course, there are also those who are lucky and have more last hits, or those who are braver and so on.

In short, even if these people are just lucky and can advance twice, it shows that they each have their own characteristics and are the best candidates for training.

And by appointing them as grassroots officers, others are more convinced, not only because they have been promoted more frequently, but also because they have killed more enemies.

After completing several important tasks, Xu Lai asked Tahan to arrange for the knights to be on night duty so that all the recruits could have a good night's rest.

This time, Chivalrous Wind is basically a nanny, escorting on the road and patrolling at night.

The new recruits, who had a good night's rest, launched a new attack on Long'an City the next day with a brand new attitude and a higher level.

Everything was a replica of yesterday, the only difference was that the military strength in Longan City today was greatly reduced.

So many militiamen died yesterday, and Jiang Jian’s troops were insufficient to create a deterrent, so he could no longer recruit able-bodied men to defend the city.

However, most of the mercenaries still abided by their duties because Jiang Jian paid them generously.

After the loss of more than 10,000 people, the city wall was easily captured today, and before nightfall, even the castle of Longan City was taken down.

If Jiang Jian could concentrate his forces and defend the smaller castle, he might be able to hold out for a few more days if Xu Lai did not deploy high-level troops.

However, he could not give up the small profit of the outer city wall, but wondered how he could defend the city wall without long-range attack and even the strong men could not catch it.

As a result, a large number of people, who were already few in number, died on the city wall.

When the mercenaries realized that things were going badly, most of them ran away before entering the castle, and the small group that remained could not cause much trouble.

Xu Lai has established a country and has become its ruler.

The monarch has the right to wage war. During the war, killing heroes from the same camp will not reduce his own favorability and reputation.

As early as when he was at the gates of Longan City, Xu Lai declared war on Longan City and Huangyuan City.

Therefore, Xu Lai is no longer as cautious as he used to be.

Heroes who were willing to surrender were only imprisoned in the dungeon of Long'an City and exposed to a hail of arrows, while those who refused to surrender were killed on the spot.

As for the hero's space backpack, Aaron and the others also provided Xu Lai with an excellent solution.

All you need to do is strip the heroes of their equipment, then tie their hands and feet so that they can't take things.

The things in the space backpack can be controlled by mind and brought to the hands, but they must be used in conjunction with the action of taking the things.

Otherwise, the things in the space backpack might fly away to who knows where at any moment's thought.

Once your hands are bound with shackles or something like that, no matter how many props you have in your space backpack, they will be useless.

After taking Long'an City, Xu Lai rested on the spot for two days, while hunting down all the mercenaries who participated in the battle and their mercenary groups.

They may have been fighting for money, but after all, they attacked Xu Lai and could be considered enemies.

Two days later, Xu Lai left a cavalry regiment of 1,000 men, waiting for the security guards and other officials sent by Su Ya from the rear.

He led a large army and continued to march towards the Wasteland City.

The plot of Wasteland City is similar to that of Longan City.

Xu Lai still used the catapult to smash the arrow towers and catapults on the city wall.

Then send out phantom shooters to eliminate the enemy's ranged troops at a specific point.

Finally, send the rest of your own shooters to the bottom of the city wall to carry out long-range suppression.

Send infantry with siege ladders to climb the city walls and engage in close combat with the enemy.

However, although the soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion have experienced two battles, more than 3 of them have advanced, and the average level has also been raised to level .

But the military force of Wasteland City is greater than that of Longan City.

After all, Wasteland City had a few more days to prepare, recruiting and purchasing more soldiers, and also accepting some remnants of the defeated troops who escaped from Longan City.

They even borrowed reinforcements from another city that was not controlled by the descending hero.

But even though the number of soldiers was nearly twice that of the people in Longan City, their fighting spirit was much lower than that of the people in Longan City.

Before it even got dark, at dusk, the enemy not only lost the city walls, but even the castle.

Seeing that the enemy was about to be defeated, Xu Lai decisively sounded the call to call back his troops, giving them a night to rest.

The next day, Xu Lai sent troops to block all the gates in the four directions of the Wasteland City.

With their retreat completely blocked, the Wasteland City army had no choice but to surrender or fight with all their might, prepared to die.

No matter which one it is, Xu Lai can accept it.

If they surrender, the heroes will be locked up, and the ordinary soldiers will be either recruited or returned to the civilian population to replenish the population.

Recruit soldiers and recruit them directly to increase your own military strength.

It’s okay if you don’t surrender, since you’re leveling up here anyway. Xu Lai is just afraid that people will run away and he’ll lose the experience pack.

As for the hint of madness that arose from the fear of certain death, it did cause some trouble for Xu Lai.

The main thing is that even if spell casting is restricted, the heroes still have some life-saving skills, such as alchemical bombs, advanced summoning stones, magic scrolls and the like.

Unfortunately, even if some individual soldiers were blown to pieces and had no chance of resurrection, it was still within Xu Lai's tolerance.

As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army. Xu Lai has been leading troops for so long that he is no longer the ordinary young man who could not bear the slightest sacrifice.

Of course, Xu Lai will not give a good ending to anyone who dares to do this.

Even though he knelt down and begged for mercy, he still had his head cut off and hung on the city gate as a warning to others. (End of this chapter)
