The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Magic ammunition and magic cannons are the perfect match. Ground-blast bombs are not expensive, and most importantly, they have low production requirements and can be mass-produced.

After being attacked several times by magic ammunition, the hellhounds were no fools and all dispersed their formation.

After the formation was dispersed, the attack range of the ground-blast bomb became larger, but the killing rate was significantly reduced.

But even so, these hellhounds were at a loss as to what to do as they could only take the beatings and not fight back.

Soon, the heroes in the rear sent the latest orders, ordering the hellhounds to retreat and all the three-headed hellhounds to charge collectively.

Cerberus are very useful for searching for refugees, and the demon hero does not want his own Cerberus to suffer too many casualties.

As for the Cerberus, they have three heads to attack, and are good at group battles. It would be a waste not to use them.

In addition to ordering the three-headed hellhound to charge, the demon hero named Matthias also couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The report from the winged demons alerted Matthias, as he knew that the enemy had a hero in charge.

Even if it is just a descended hero that Avid randomly found, as long as he has offensive, defensive and archery skills, the strength of the troops will be improved by several levels.

The location of the hellhounds is already the limit of his radiation.

He is just an ordinary hell hero, with no talent, no special skills, and his level is only in the 20s, less than 30.

A level of over 20 is considered high among human heroes, but not high among demons, otherwise it would not be assigned to the very edge.

Therefore, his specialized radiation ability is less than half of Xu Lai's, and at most only one-third.

The hero's level becomes more difficult to increase as time goes by, but with each level increase, the radiation range of the hero's ability increases.

Fortunately, he had been bombarded for a long time before, so if he accelerated, he was sure to catch up with the charge.

The four-legged hellhound runs very fast.

However, the two sides were more than 5 kilometers apart, and even if a car was driving at 120 mph, it would still take 3 minutes to complete the run.

The three-headed dog of hell will not be able to get close to the human position for at least 3 to 5 minutes, even if it runs until it vomits blood.

During this 3 to 5 minute journey, the secondary guns of the cruiser on the river also began firing in salvos.

At the beginning, these hellhounds hid far away, but when they charged, they were already within the range of the secondary guns.

Only the secondary guns on one side of the cruiser can fire, but when added together, there are dozens of them, and as secondary guns of the magic cannon, their power is also quite impressive.

Even if standard whiteboard ammunition is used, a large hole with a diameter of seven or eight meters will be created.

The three-headed hellhounds were not small in size. Even if they were scattered, their numbers were there. One cannonball could kill or knock away at least several of them.

In one round of salvo, at least 3 hellhounds were killed or injured.

The key is the holes in the ground, which greatly affect the running of the hellhound behind.

These hellhounds have a low center of gravity. If a knight were on horseback, he would most likely fall into these pits.

During this time, two teams of 400 priests, led by two bishops of Qingfeng City, landed on the shore and lined up behind the shooters.

These priests have never been to the battlefield since they were brought out.

In several siege battles, it was only after the battles were over that Reina removed the forbidden magic ball and allowed these priests to take action and provide treatment.

Therefore, after several battles, the priests did not gain much experience, and their improvement was not significant, and they still remained at the level of Level 5 priests.

These priests were all recruited in Qingfeng City, and some were occasionally circulated in the market, so there were not many of them.

Together with those bishops and high priests who had advanced to the throne in the Northern Empire before Xu Lai, there were no more than 3 people in total.

However, these more than 3 pastors were all recruited.

If Xu Lai needs it, Durr and his team can organize a group of pastors or priests of about 5 people.

Because of the forbidden magic ball, the priests leading the team had been holding back for long enough.

As soon as they stood still, they began to command the priest to cast blessings and shields for the warriors in the front row.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although Xu Lai could only appoint three generals, he could appoint more than 3 captains.

However, unlike upgrading with the Captain's Order, the appointed Captain is a position that does not add any new Captain effects and cannot be appointed to recruit soldiers.

Like generals, once a captain commits treason, the captain effect will disappear, and the same applies to being revoked.

At the same time, they are not like Yan Feng and others who can command different types of troops. They can only command soldiers of the same identity.

For example, these priest captains from Qingfeng City can only command and control priest apprentices, priests, priests, bishops, etc.

Although the appointed positions are subject to greater restrictions, they have greatly liberated the work of generals and heroes.

Otherwise, the commander can only issue general orders such as attack and defense, and cannot do any detailed work.

Blessing can increase attack and defense by 5 points, and shield can block 100 points of magic damage for the front-line warriors.

The three heads of Cerberus are flamethrower, physical attack and acid attack.

The latter is okay, it just reduces the defense a little bit, but the former is magic damage and is not affected by defense.

After casting these two spells, Xu Lai ordered the front-line infantry and spearmen to take the initiative to meet the enemy.

Passively accepting a beating was not what he wanted to do today.

What's more, the landing port was already full of people, preventing the infantry from moving forward and making some space, and the people in the transport ship behind could not get off.

The infantry, which had already filled out four layers of formation, marched forward fearlessly with fairly orderly steps.

Although these soldiers had only been recruited for more than two months, as believers of the God of War, they were full of courage and had no fear.

After joining Xu Lai's team, he had meat for every meal and was full every time. Although the training workload was heavy, the taste was much better than before.

With the support of the statue of the God of War and numerous victories in battle, he has nothing to fear. Even if he dies, he can be resurrected by angels.

The so-called well-trained soldiers, sufficient food and soldiers willing to fight for their lives is nothing more than this.

The more than 3-meter-long spear, even though it was not thrust out, was terrifying enough just by being held at an angle.

The charging three-headed hellhound had no time to face the horrific forest of guns, but had to face the dense rain of arrows first.

The rain of arrows thrown by a level 4 longbowman can only cause 20% damage.

Even with Xu Lai's added bonus, the damage more than doubled, but it could still only scratch the surface of the hellhound with advanced defensive skills.

Of course, as long as the number is sufficient, even if it is just scraping, a lot of people can be killed.

The Phantom Sharpshooter in the rear had enough range, but the target was too far away, and there were shooters and infantry blocking the way in front, so the line of sight was obstructed.

Only Giselle, who climbed to the top of the observation tower of Cruiser No. 2, had a high vision and a terrifying range, so she could attack without any scruples. As a title ranger, Giselle let go of her attack, and Xu Lai had never seen how terrifying it could be.

Even in the dungeon before, Giselle had never used her full strength, not to mention now that she had this terrifying buff of accelerated attack.

But although Giselle was within the range, she did not rush to shoot.

The longbowmen in the rear fired two consecutive rounds of shots, but only killed a few dozen hellhounds.

Considering the huge number of hellhounds, even with the cruisers included, the result can only be considered as slight bleeding, without any serious damage.

Seeing that the torrent of hellhounds was about to collide with the still not-so-solid human formation, Giselle, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, finally released her ultimate move.

An arrow that embodies the terrifying power of the title ranger, along with 9 phantom arrows, formed a lightning bolt with terrifying speed.

Lightning instantly poured into the charging hellhound, like a huge plow, plowing a straight line in the hellhound.

Any creature on this straight line will be torn to pieces instantly if it comes into contact with this lightning, even if it just touches a toe.

Giselle, who shot the arrow, pulled the cable and slid onto the deck at an extremely fast speed.

Gisele, who was panting, was hugged by Xu Lai as soon as she landed.

Giselle, who was completely exhausted, collapsed into Xu Lai's arms to recover her strength. The strength she used in the previous attack was several times more than when she demonstrated it in the dungeon, and she was exhausted.

The cruiser was very large. Xu Lai stood on the deck and looked out, leaning against the railing, and he no longer felt the shaking.

In the first confrontation between the two sides, humans won directly.

The hellhound's attack was fierce, and it also had the master-level offensive skills that came with Matthias.

However, the harder they attack, the greater the price they will pay on their spears due to the characteristics of the spearmen.

The first wave of hellhounds were almost all suicidal attacks.

Their bodies were large enough that even after being pierced by the spears blessed with god-level offensive techniques, they were already dead beyond death.

The dead hellhound naturally could no longer cause any damage to the heavy infantry in front of it.

Only the three-headed hellhound behind him used the corpse of the hellhound in front to pounce on the shield-bearing infantry.

The spearmen must first retract part of their spears and remove the three-headed hellhounds attached to their spears.

The shield-bearing infantrymen did not stand still and wait for the three-headed dog to attack. Instead, under the leadership of Brandi, they fought with the hellhounds with swords in hand.

The three-headed dog is a level 5 unit, one level higher than the heavy infantry. Moreover, the heavy infantry are wearing heavy armor and large shields, so their attack power is not high.

But one of them only has expert-level offensive skills, while the other has god-level offensive skills.

This alone is enough to make up for the difference in attack power.

The infantry also has the full attribute bonus of the statue of the god of war, which makes up for a lot of the gap in strength.

After a fierce hacking, the three-headed dog, which only had advanced defensive skills, could not withstand it at all, and blood gushed out after every blow.

If you are lucky, you can cut the neck with one blow, or trigger critical hit attributes such as lucky hit, or even behead or seriously injure the enemy with one blow.

The infantry with full morale and the hellhounds with low morale are not afraid of the difference of only one level, let alone one level.

The three-headed hellhound was huge, and the three-headed hellhound behind him couldn't help even if he wanted to.

This is also the shortcoming of the infantry array. Even though Xu Lai has laid out the formation long enough, these nearly 4 infantrymen are only arranged in about layers.

The only ones who can engage in battle are still the first-level heavy infantry and the second-level spearmen.

The soldiers behind him can at most help use their bodies to block the impact for the soldiers in the front row.

In the fierce battle, even if the hellhounds kept falling, it was still a huge test for the physical strength and health of the front-line soldiers.

Fortunately, there were priests behind me who continued to heal me.

Even if you can't see it, just aim in the direction and cast a group healing spell.

Ordinary recruited priests don't know many spells, and it is enough for them to use healing spells to ensure the health of the front-line soldiers.

Several priest captains were constantly using mass rejuvenation, mass recovery and other spells to restore life and physical strength.

With the 5 points of physical strength granted by the statue of the God of War, the warriors in the first two rows held out for a while.

The first to collapse was still the three-headed dog of hell.

On one hand, they have to withstand the high-throw attacks from the shooters, and on the other hand, they have to endure the huge gap in attributes and offense and defense between the two sides.

The three heads that were good at group attacks also had most of the damage offset by the priests' shields and Xu Lai's ultimate resistance.

This caused the Cerberus, whose morale had been declining since they began to suffer the bombardment, to become increasingly powerless as the battle went on.

While our side was experiencing negative morale issues, the enemy was fighting more and more courageously. Apart from a slight decrease in their stamina, their health was like glue and they refused to move at all.

If it weren't for these infantrymen, morale would have been high. After fighting for an hour or two, I'm afraid the battle would have been over.

Hellhounds are just like pitiful experience packs.

The rain of arrows behind the infantry never stopped, and new longbowmen kept joining in.

However, the reinforcements of the Hellhounds were stuck outside the firing range of the cruiser's secondary guns.

Matthias didn't dare to risk his own life. If he was hit by a bullet, even Xu Lai would lose half his life, let alone Matthias.

Although the shell was not big, the hole it created was quite big. If the Hell troops rushed over to support, it would only increase the damage in vain.

The most important thing is that after Matthias climbed up, he was able to confirm that human troops had landed on a large scale.

Since he failed to drive the humans into the sea in one go, Matthias no longer wanted to fight with them in this place.

The enemy had ships on the river for cover, and all forces within 4 or 5 kilometers would be subjected to the enemy's artillery fire and suffer heavy losses in vain.

Matthias didn't even dare to bring his personal guards forward and use a dispelling technique to dispel the condition from the human.

You know, the longer the battle lasts, the more terrifying the condition of those humans will become.

Xu Lai would cast a spell every once in a while, first weakening the hellhound, then casting his own protective shield and the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

After being idle for a while, seeing that the enemy hero has not appeared yet, he gave the Hellhound the Light of Destruction to reduce its defense, and gave his own ranged troops another skill of Accurate Shot.

Now that the Hellhound troops have completely collapsed, the infantry have entered the pursuit mode.

Otherwise, if we persist for a while, all the hellhounds will have to advance to great demons before they are qualified to fight against these level 4 infantry. (End of this chapter)
