The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai knew that there were such rumors everywhere recently, but he didn't expect that the devil would be so close to him all of a sudden.

The people who are most sensitive to demons are probably their mortal enemies, the angels.

Elvi told Xu Lai that he could rest peacefully as there was no trace of the devil within a hundred kilometers of Green Forest Town.

A hundred kilometers in radius is not a small distance.

Even at Elvie's speed, it would take more than half a day to survey the 100 kilometers bit by bit.

Moreover, these 100 kilometers must have included Baishi Town, so Xu Lai must have believed it when Elvi said no.

Then, the news conveyed in the letter could only be rumors.

It is normal for rumors to be inaccurate and exaggerated.

But the fact that such rumors came out also showed that the nearby towns and villages were in a state of panic.

Not to mention anything else, even the Green Forest Town where Xu Lai is located has recently had many fields abandoned, and the militiamen have stopped going to the fields and have begun military training.

The mayor of Green Forest Town has made 800 trips to Xu here in the past two days, delivering hot water, roasting sheep, and killing chickens.

Xu Lai accepted all the gifts, but he paid all the money.

Even if he didn't want it at the time, Xu Lai would ask Yu Lan to send more gold coins to him afterwards.

After a few times, as long as the mayor is not stupid, he should understand what Xu Lai means.

No matter how stupid the mayor of Green Forest Town is, he knows that he can't bribe Xu Lai with this small favor. He just hopes to get some care from Xu Lai when the devil attacks.

Even if he just came to Greenwood Town to give the demons a little deterrence, his favor was worth every penny.

However, although Xu Lai accepted the things, he had someone send the money over, as if he didn't want to have any personal relationships.

The mayor of Green Forest Town didn't give Xu Lai a good attitude before, but now Xu Lai's attitude makes it difficult for him to continue to pester him.

In this way, Xu Lai waited for the new month in the tent of the Northern Empire.

“This month is the month of three consecutive stars, the output of all creatures triples, and the resource income of all towns and mines triples.

A large number of random creatures will be born in the wild, and the number of births will triple. "

After waking up, Xu Lai silently accepted the oracle from his mind.

The golden month has just passed, but now there is another three-star moon. Everything has tripled, even wild creatures have tripled.

The good news is that because Luo Mingru agreed to Xu Lai's conditions, he can produce 210 units of food from one farmhouse.

The farmhouse requires 3 farmers to work 24 hours a day. The basic output is 50 units, and the land increase is 21%. Together with the three times increase in the continuous moon, the total increase is 321%, and the total is 210.5 units.

If you apply some fertilizer, it can continue to increase, but the consumed seeds and the grower's consumption must be deducted.

Equivalent to a farmhouse, it can provide 200 units of food for Xu Lai. Xu Lai rented 100 units, leaving 400 people to work continuously. Most of the remaining people were used to build houses, and a small number were carefully selected.

During the past two days, Xu Lai was working alone. Yan Feng took the rangers and the newly joined rangers to protect Xu Lai and investigate.

The paladins and knights were stationed where they were. Tahan, Elvi, Yu Lan, and even Ed and Silver Wing were all responsible for helping Xu Lai make the selection.

In fact, there is no need to select carefully, any one of this group of people will be the best warriors from other lords.

There was no way, these people had all been with Xu Lai in the wilderness, and they had experienced at least one city defense, and some had even experienced two or three city defense battles.

As long as the lords have enough money, all of these people can directly take up combat professions, and some even have their own combat professions.

But there is no way, why Xu Lai doesn't need so many soldiers for the time being, but needs the people to support the soldiers even more.

Tahan and the others were responsible for helping Xu Lai select professionals with better physical attributes and higher corresponding skill levels to form a mixed force.

Although the basic attributes of recruited soldiers are all the same, there are only differences between each race, each unit, the total attributes and each attribute.

But naturally occurring species cannot have the same attributes.

Some people are born with good physiques and can live a long time without getting sick. Some people are born with strong strength but not simple minds.

Among this group of people, the total attributes of almost all of them exceeded the average of natural humans, and Xu Lai had to select the group with the strongest attributes.

The higher the basic attributes, the stronger they will be after upgrading.

The same is true for skill levels. Employment only gives you relevant experience and does not unify skill levels.

You are also a level 3 shooter. Your level 10 long-range weapon will definitely be countless times more powerful and hit rate than a standard level 3 shooter. It will also be easier to gain experience and advance.

Harris has counted everyone in the past two days. If the total number of people does not include elves, it is about 1,600.

Xu Lai decided to recruit 300 professional soldiers from them.

On Earth, this ratio is quite exaggerated, equivalent to four people raising one person.

But Xu Lai considered that his family's caravan and security team were both short of manpower.

Especially the security team. When Xu Lai set out, people were still joining Qingfeng Fort. There were only a few people in the security team, including Aaron.

There is also a caravan. Xu Lai now has so many resources, but because he does not have his own caravan, he cannot realize them in time and can only wait for other caravan bosses to arrange them.

When the time comes, people are brought over, and Xu Lai is not even qualified to bargain.

He had no choice but to find someone to cash in for a while, so he could only rely on them. The only thing Xu Lai could do was to reduce his losses by controlling shipments.

Before the selection, Xu Lai also told them that there were no restrictions on whether they were infantry, archers, cavalry or mages.

In terms of cavalry, Xu here has 60 extra horses, and there are more in Qingfeng Fort.

In terms of mage, although Xu Lai has little resources, he still has Yu Lan who can help support the situation.

It is precisely because there are few resources that Xu Lai is even more eager to join the mage.

Unfortunately, Yu Lan was selected with the highest priority, but she checked everyone and could barely find a dozen outstanding mages with intelligence exceeding 10 points, but their mental attributes were generally very low.

It's no wonder that they have endured a high-pressure slave life in the wilderness for a long time, and they probably don't even get enough sleep. No matter how high their innate energy is, they have been tortured the day after tomorrow.

Intelligence and spirit are both crucial attributes for a mage. The former determines a mage's ability and talent to learn spells, while the latter determines the strength of your spells.

No matter how high your spirit is, you won't be able to learn a fireball technique for ten or eight years.

On the contrary, no matter how smart you are, even if you learn a forbidden spell-level spell tomorrow, if you can cast it like a fireball and no one is as good at it, then you are still a fart mage.

Of course, with such a low mental value, it is more likely that you will never be able to learn advanced spells because you don't have the mental strength to support it.

Although the mage's path is impassable, the other paths are pretty good.

Most of the people here are from Pingfeng Grassland, so most of them have riding skills. Tahan only needs to select based on the riding skills level and attributes required by knights such as strength and physique.

The requirements of the remaining infantry and archers can all be greatly exceeded.

Finally, based on the more than 40 horses under his command, Xu Lai decided to recruit 47 more nomads and incorporate them into the cavalry team.

In this way, Xu Lai's cavalry team had 120 knights, forming a cavalry squadron, which Xu Lai temporarily named the Third Squadron.

However, his Third Cavalry Squadron does not yet have that many officers.

There are a total of 6 mercenary captains, each leading 19 team members at first. Joseph temporarily serves as the squadron leader of this cavalry squadron.

Tahan took 7 Holy Light Knights, 44 Paladins, 20 knights, and together with himself, a total of 72 knights formed the first cavalry squadron. Tahan was the squadron leader.

The 2nd Cavalry Squadron, with Yan Feng as the squadron leader, leads a cavalry squad, consisting of 11 heroes and 6 rangers.

In addition, Silver Wing and the 13 elf knights recruited by him and Ed were also incorporated into the 2nd Cavalry Squadron.

These 14 knights are composed of one level 7 Pegasus knight and 13 level 6 Silver Pegasus knights. Unlike the recruited Silver Pegasus, Xu Lai still let them keep their bows and arrows and only spent money to replace their equipment.

That is to say, this team of Pegasus Knights, in addition to retaining the ability to fly and melee, also has the ability to mount and shoot.

This is the difference between recruitment and natural birth. Recruited ones are subject to strict restrictions, while natural birth only requires you to have relevant abilities and equipment.

Of course, compared with other archers, Pegasus archers will lack long-range characteristics.

In the unit identification, they were also recognized as flying units. That is, when Xu Lai selected them, only the selected flying units included these Pegasus knights.

Others, whether they choose knights or archers, do not have them.

But even if their damage is lower, and as elves, their hit rate is not as good as humans, it doesn't matter.

What Xu looked at was only the powerful mobility. As for damage, didn't he also have advanced archery skills?

The 2nd Cavalry Squadron, with a total of 32 people, is the smallest in number, the most mobile, and has strong autonomy. After all, most of them have independent personalities.

The 1st Cavalry Squadron has the strongest combat effectiveness at this stage, but it also has the greatest limitations.

The 3rd Cavalry Squadron's combat effectiveness is much worse, and its level is also the lowest. There are 47 nomads mixed in, but they have the greatest potential. After the equipment and level are improved in the future, their combat effectiveness will definitely be the highest.

With three cavalry squadrons, in theory, Xu Lai has formed a knighthood.

The average knights are equipped with 4 cavalry squadrons, plus the commander and his personal guards, which is about 500 people.

Of course, different levels of knights have different configurations.

The most advanced ones are composed of pure knights, the average ones are mixed with a large number of knights' retinues, and the worst ones are mostly composed of trainee knights.

Senior knights will also be equipped with knight retinues and trainee knights, which is equivalent to a great knight leading a number of ordinary knights, and then bringing several times as many knights' retinues and N times as many trainee knights.

It is equivalent to a great knight to form a knight squad, and for a general knight group, one to three times more knights will be recruited corresponding to the same level.

It is extremely normal for such a standard knight group configuration of 500 people to actually have tens of thousands of people. However, such a knight group may require at least an eighth-level heroic knight to control it.

Although Xu Lai had three squadrons, he only had 224 people. Including him, the total number was 225, not even half of the standard knights.

But what does that matter? Anyway, he first set up the skeleton and established the Qingfeng Knights first. (End of chapter)
