The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

The only thing where the Thunderbolt Ballista is inferior to recruiting troops is that its damage is relatively fixed and there is not much room for further improvement.

In the future, Xu Lai will exchange for some higher-level treasures to improve his archery specialization and increase the damage of the Thunderbolt Ballista.

But if you want it to be like recruiting shooters, it is impossible to accumulate enough experience to cross a level.

Xu Lai didn't care much about the cost of manufacturing the Thunderbolt Ballista. He threw 2,500 gold coins into the blacksmith furnace without blinking an eye.

The wood has been saved a long time ago, and finally the most critical material for making the Thunderbolt Ballista is the heart of the Thunderbird.

Not to mention, Xu Lai really has this thing.

When cleaning the battlefield before, Xu Lai took a Behemoth. As a seventh-level creature, the Thunderbird's materials are of course very precious.

But Xu Lai had no space, so he only collected materials from the Thunderbird's body.

Beamon took it home and ate it, but Beamon's teeth, claws, and heart were all still in his backpack. Thunderbird only had a heart in a box and a dozen of its largest tail feathers.

In addition to these, Xu Lai also treasured a Cyclops eye in his backpack.

Because of their size, he could only collect these inferior creatures, which should contain valuable materials.

No, wasn't it used today?

It's a pity. If he had known that there was such a thing as the Thunderbolt Ballista, he would have dug out more Thunderbird hearts as spares.

It was too late today. After finishing these chores, Xu Lai quickly went back to rest.

After running around for a day, he didn't fight much in the subsequent battles, but he was still so tired that his bones ached.

Just when Xu Lai was able to find a room to sleep in and someone to help with a full massage, Tatarod from the Wolf Tribe was leading his men through the narrow and long mountain pass with a gloomy expression.

Near noon today, Tatarod received a letter from his father sent back to the Orc base, and then delivered by the base messenger.

The enemy's location is clearly marked on it.

Not only did the other party really break into the wilderness, they also broke into the territory of the ogre tribe and slaughtered at least a thousand ogres.

The most important thing is that Tatarod did not dare to delay for a moment. He was busy all morning and all night, and more than a dozen wolves in the team were exhausted, doing useless work.

The naive Tatarod only thought that the footprints he was following had disappeared due to time, but he did not expect that Xu Lai had tricked him.

However, after receiving the news, he could not leave immediately because his troops were completely unable to move.

If he continues further, not to mention finding Xu Lai, his personal guard troops will be scattered.

He had no choice but to let his soldiers, and most importantly his mounts, rest and go back overnight.

Tatarod didn't dare to run too fast, because if he wasted too much energy, he wouldn't even have the slightest fighting power once he encountered an enemy.

In addition to Tatarod being furious, Jebadas also didn't sleep well.

As a half-orc who was born shorter than others, his strongholds were attacked one after another.

Not counting the surrounding towns and villages, the ogre tribe's quarry and mercury refining room have also been lost, as well as an important transportation hub city, which has increased the difficulty of logistics and transportation several times.

The Kodo beast has the power of nine oxen and two tigers, and is a tireless locomotive. The most important thing is that it is relatively docile and never takes the initiative to attack.

Of course, an angry Kodo will also burst out with unimaginable energy. After all, it is a creature living in a wild land.

A locomotive needs rails to drive a train. No matter how easy the Kodo is, it won't work without good roads.

The frontline suffered a defeat and required more logistical resources, which already put a lot of pressure on Gebadas.

Now that this is happening again, many routes passing through this town are unavailable, which will undoubtedly cause major logistical problems.

There are usually some problems, but Gebadas is not afraid, because the Beast King himself is also very aware of the transportation in the wilderness and the difficulty of crossing the Pingfeng Mountains.

But the front line suffered a defeat, and he, who was in charge of logistics, would inevitably suffer. Now, if there is a problem with the supply of materials, Taloshi at the front will definitely put most of the blame on him.

At that time, even if the Beastmaster and the others knew that he, Jebadas, was wrongfully accused and took the blame, the punishment would still only fall on his head.

There is no way, who makes him a half-orc, who makes him a second-class citizen.

Now, his tent was filled with letters asking for help and warnings from all sides. He could ignore others' letters, but Jebadas couldn't answer Talosi and the inquiry from the royal court.

"Jack, that old guy Hody, hasn't he written back yet?"

An orc hero heard this and walked into the tent. They were not from this world, and their name was not Jack.

However, among a bunch of Western names, they didn't want to stand out, so the heroes who followed Jebadas changed their names together.

"Go back to the commander, High Priest Hodi still hasn't responded."

Hody is the high priest of the Bloodthirsty tribe, and the second-largest figure in the entire Bloodthirsty tribe besides the chief.

After being silent for a while, Jebadas said again:

"So, how are our troops and horses prepared?"

"Coming back to the commander, most of our men are just ordinary orcs. They are just civilians. Do we really want them to go to the battlefield?"

Jebadas sighed and said: "I have no choice. I only have ten thousand orc warriors under my command, so I have to send troops to take care of the food, grass and supplies.

Even with all my calculations, I can only bring 5,000 people out. If I don't bring these orcs with me, I may not be able to beat that human.

Even so, I still don't think it's safe.

In this way, you can write to Hody again.

Tell him that if he doesn't send reinforcements and take back Mercury Town, I will have no choice but to let go and withdraw all the troops.

When the time comes, no matter how many ogres they lose in the city and how many ogres they die, they will not come to me for help. "

Gebadas was responsible for the logistics escort. Most of the soldiers were actually escorted outside. There were also garrisons in major cities responsible for raising supplies.

If Jebadas transfers these troops again, the defense power of major cities will be drastically reduced, and it is possible that even fortress-level cities will be occupied by Xu Lai.

Even if Xu Lai was more courageous, he would not be able to take down a castle like Siqiangge, but cities like Kuba City and Ravana might not have a chance.

The hero named Jack clasped his fists and retreated, looking for a wizard to convey Jebadas' meaning.

Jebadas is very satisfied with Jack and the others. These heroes are really useful. As orc heroes with more noble status, they not only have no airs about them, but are also willing to talk down to half-orcs like Jebadas.

The most important thing is that they all like to use their brains, and are much smarter than most orcs who are as lumpy as elm.

Jebadas also doubted whether they were real orcs. He was not the only one. Before His Majesty the Beast King could use these orc heroes, he had to test them first.

The reason is funny. There were not many orc heroes in the wilderness, but more than half of them launched a bullshit uprising.

They cared about other tribes' territories and seized other people's villages and even towns.

These people are just like a bunch of fools, treating their lives as child's play.

Although the heroes have special abilities, those tribes, especially the large tribes in the rear, do not have tens of thousands of high-level troops.

In the end, the Beast King had no choice but to personally pray to the ancestral soul with a totem pole. After receiving a definite answer, he still required these orc heroes to obtain a certificate of surrender before they would be appointed.

These heroes under Jebadas' account have personally beheaded humans, beheaded wolf-headed men, and even beheaded elves.

In short, all the prisoners that could be found in the major camps were hacked by them before being left behind.

"Commander, you'd better go and rest quickly.

The weapons and equipment will probably be distributed tomorrow, and we should be able to reach Mercury Town the day after tomorrow at the most.

At that time, no matter whether the high priest sends reinforcements or not, we can take down the town occupied by just a few thousand prisoners on our own.

And didn't General Taloshi write a letter saying that he had sent an elite wolf cavalry back to support him? Then the human cavalry would be left to the wolf cavalry to deal with. "

Jebadas nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I'll leave this to you, Andy.

After Jack comes back later, you can discuss with him to gather the troops in the hands of you heroes.

You each have high-level soldiers. Using them alone is too wasteful and the effect is not ideal.

Why not redistribute the troops according to your own specialization ability? It happens that one of you has a higher level of offensive skills and the other has a higher level of defensive skills.

Let's do this. Later, you gather all the wolf riders and ask Jack to gather all the ogres, and the two of you will lead them. "

Andy was ecstatic in his heart. After so long of flattering him, he finally saw the reward today.

"But others may not agree." Andy said cautiously.

Gebadas frowned, "If you don't agree, let them come to me."

Speaking of this, Jebadas suddenly remembered the warning from the ancestor soul, and said helplessly: "Tell them that I will recruit orcs of the same level to supplement them.

Orc warriors can be used at any distance, so why not be more useful than the wolf knights and ogres in their hands? "

Andy suppressed his excitement, leaned over Gebadas and said, "Thank you, Commander. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Jebadas nodded with satisfaction and patted Andy's shoulder hard.

As a half-orc, although Gebadas is the strongest among the half-orcs, he is still only less than 1.7 meters tall.

And Andy, a real orc, could be nearly two meters tall when he first arrived without even adding any physical strength.

After Jebadas left, Andy waited there for a while.

Sure enough, after a while, Jack came back with an excited face. The ogre high priest finally agreed to send out the young and old at home to retake the town with Gebadas.

However, before Jack could tell Jebadas the good news, Andy pulled Jack in with excitement. (End of chapter)
