The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai didn't know what happened in Qingfeng Castle.

He has been quite busy these days, busy trading with merchants from various cities, and heroes from various villages and towns.

Before this, Xu Lai really didn't know that nearly a hundred heroes could emerge from the nearby White Rock City, Adlon Castle, Rotania City and their affiliated towns and villages alone.

This is still because most of the heroes have been recruited, and only a small number of people who have connections or whose strength is really not up to standard have been retained.

However, although this group of people does not have many troops, their spending power is not low.

Xu Lai's mountain of equipment was actually reduced by more than half due to the consumption of these large and small businessmen and heroes.

Of course, he also gained a large amount of gold coins again.

The four gold coin boxes that were emptied before are now being refilled one by one.

It was a pity that the big businessmen that Xu Lai entrusted to find never came. In addition to getting some gold coins, Xu Lai also recruited some soldiers with them.

I don't know what they were thinking. If it were Xu Lai himself, he would rather not have any equipment than give up his own troops, unless they were not suitable for him.

In order to expand business, Xu Lai hung out all the equipment previously reserved for Su Ya, including the life amulet that increased health by 200 points.

To be honest, many heroes now have a total life value of less than 200 points. Suddenly a life talisman that increases life by 200 appears. Not to mention them, even the nobles and lords will be tempted when they see it.

However, Xu Lai put up the life amulet, the dodge amulet, the magic shield and even the golden armor just to attract people.

Except for gold armor and dodge amulets, which may be on sale, the prices for the rest are quite ridiculous.

A life amulet is directly priced at 200,000, a magic shield amulet is priced at 100,000, and a barbarian armor is priced at 150,000.

At first glance, this price shows that there is no sincerity in selling equipment, and those little heroes and small businessmen cannot afford it.

So some people wanted to barter with Xu Lai, but they didn't have many good things on hand. Even if someone was lucky enough to pick up a few boxes, the most they could trade with Xu Lai was a high-end treasure.

It's not that Xu Kan doesn't like the high-level treasure, but that the other party wants to exchange the high-level treasure for his barbarian armor.

This thing comes with a brutal collision, which accelerates by 300%. It can also stun enemies, and can also be used on one's own people. It is extremely useful whether it is used to kill enemies or to escape.

The most important thing is that it has high armor and an additional 100 points of health. It is a perfect magical equipment.

It is not impossible to change a high-level treasure if its attributes are suitable.

But this treasure called the Forbidden Magic Ring can make the entire army (including the enemy and ourselves) immune to first-level and second-level magic, whether it is beneficial, debuffing, or damaging.

It has its uses, but Xu Lai doesn't have this need.

So they used their own soldiers in exchange, and made up their minds to get this equipment from Xu Lailai.

Xu Lai, the barbarian armor, is of no use if he keeps it for himself, but he can still leave it to Su Ya and Rogers. If not, he can give it to Wei Yihong and Urdola.

However, the price this man offered was too good, so this high-end magic equipment was sold by Xu Lai.

This guy not only sold his own troops, but he also didn't know how to convince other people. A dozen heroes pieced together an army and handed it over to Xu Lai.

There are 12 apprentice knights, 5 knight retinues, 1 knight, 5 heavy shield infantry, 3 royal guards, 6 heavy armored spearmen, 2 crusaders, and 1 sword master.

There was no archer. Originally, these guys were not even willing to give Xu Lai a knight, but Xu Lai, a group of infantrymen, was really not interested, and they were really reluctant to give up the archer.

In the end, he compromised and gave Xu Lai 18 knights, but took away more than 30 top infantrymen.

In terms of price, these 35 recruited soldiers, on average, are worth 150,000 gold coins at level 5 or even level 6.

But firstly, Xu Lai's quotation was exaggerated, and secondly, the price of soldiers could not be calculated simply based on the recruitment price. The difficulty of recruitment must also be considered.

Even if you have diplomacy and encounter wild monsters, most of the wild monsters in the wild are low-level wild monsters of levels 1, 2, and 3. There are very few middle-level monsters, and high-level ones are almost impossible to see.

Therefore, most people's soldiers are either exchanged for contribution points by doing lord tasks, or they are trained by themselves as initial soldiers, or they are recruited from some outdoor buildings, or even recruited from farmers in some villages and trained by themselves.

In short, it was quite difficult for them to gather so many middle- and high-level soldiers for Xu Lai.

Xu Lai considered that he might have to participate in the battle of the Northern Empire, and that his hometown might encounter revenge from the orcs, so he would be prepared for any trouble by gathering more soldiers.

After this person set a precedent, other heroes also offered money if they had money, and sold their troops if they had no money. Even on the third day, there were people who brought soldiers and horses to sell them for money.

That's right, they just sell money. They don't buy equipment just for money.

Xu Lai couldn't hold back, so he asked them about it, and they confessed honestly that he was deserting military service.

They don't want to be drafted into the battlefield, and the heroes of the Northern Empire, the stronger their troops are, the more priority they will be drafted.

At the end of the day, I'm afraid everyone with some troops will have to be mobilized.

They just want to sell all their troops and horses to see if they can delay the situation until the situation is stable. If they can't delay the situation, they can use the money from selling the soldiers to bribe the recruiting officials.

Xu Lai didn't know if most people thought this way, but he was gathering more and more soldiers here.

On the fifth day, when Lina, Daniel, and a team of paladins escorted two mages appeared in Greenwood Town, Xu Lai's troops expanded a lot.

There is no way, Xu Lai's payment is not only fair, but also will increase a certain percentage on the basis of the recruitment price according to different levels.

The higher the level, the more the ratio is given. The ratio for level 3 and above is basically more than 50%. For level 7 soldiers, it can basically reach 3 times the recruitment price.

Heroes with similar ideas could not afford this price, and the nobles would at most provide compensation of 10% or 20% of the recruitment price.

Even the officers responsible for recruiting soldiers would find a reason to pack up the heroes and send them to the battlefield together without spending a penny.

Xu Lai also paid the price. His equipment was much less, but his gold coins only increased by tens of thousands, barely enough for himself 500,000 gold coins.

Today is probably because the situation has been stable in the past two days. After Xu Lai eliminated Fiona, there was no trace of demonic activity in the entire area, so the crowd started to move quickly again.

Especially the nearby merchants, who had not done much normal business since the demon swept over, took advantage of the opportunity to make a quick transaction.

When Xu came here, he finally waited for the big businessmen who had done business with him before.

The complexions of these people have obviously improved a lot. It may be because of the daytime, but they are all very rosy anyway.

Xu Lai was not polite to them. All the low-level equipment he didn't want was packed up for them.

These merchants didn't care, since they would have to be re-refined anyway, and in order to ship the goods as soon as possible, Xu Lai's price was really a good deal.

Normally, such a large batch of equipment would take a lot of time just to process.

Even if they join forces, they are not willing to buy so much low-level equipment. The key is that it takes up space and the profit is still low.

However, Xu Lai has given up enough profit margins. Even if they just recycle without recasting and just sell materials, they will still make less money.

In addition, Xu Lai did not let them suffer, and even packaged and sold a batch of high-end equipment and a batch of rare resources.

Although mercury, a rare resource, is only needed by lords and mages in the human camp, there is no guarantee that rare resources can be guaranteed.

As the president of a large chamber of commerce, how could he not know the locations of several outdoor trading markets? No matter how much you spent to buy this thing, if you send it to the outdoor trading market, each unit is guaranteed to have at least 75 gold coins.

This is still a guaranteed minimum price. In fact, the demand for this thing is also high among mages. It is easy to spend more time and sell it for 100 gold coins per unit.

And Xu Lai didn't just sell mercury. For example, crystals, which were in high demand in the imperial camp, were allotted 20 units per family. Xu Lai even sold 10 units of gems per family.

As for the high-end equipment, the dodge amulet, the golden armor, the dragon's tooth crown, the wolf's tooth necklace, the damaged giant's belt, and the pseudo-dragon tooth necklace, Xu Lai gritted his teeth and sold them all.

There is no other way. If you don't give people some high-end goods, it will be even harder to sell his low-end goods and they won't be able to command high prices.

After all, businessmen are still seeking profits. Even if Xu Lai once saved their lives, it does not mean that Xu Lai can continue to take advantage. Otherwise, no one will be willing to trade with you next time.

Xu Lai still keeps the more cost-effective ones, such as noble rings and life amulets.

For the other ones, it doesn't matter if they are sold, the impact is not very big.

500 units of mercury, plus the 200 units of sulfur, 60 units of crystals and 30 units of gems that he grabbed from those people during a raid a few days ago.

Equipment and rare resources were all in hard currency, and Xu Lai got another 300,000 gold coins in exchange.

More than 800,000 in cash, plus the addition of more than 40 cavalry, more than 260 level 3 to level 5 infantry, 8 shooters, 15 crossbowmen, and the first batch of 35 high-level cavalry, in total It was nearly 400 people.

In addition to recruiting soldiers, Xu Lai also bought some horses. Although there are many horses in his fortress, they cannot be used now.

Of course, Xu Lai didn't buy much. What he bought was not a war horse, but a pack horse for carrying goods.

These pack horses were mainly used to carry food and drinking water, as well as tents, tools, and some recently collected materials that Xu Lai could no longer carry.

Xu Lai has already communicated with the great mage, and the other party said that the door to another dimension can be opened, but there is still a limit to the door to another dimension.

One is the distance. It is influenced by the spirit of this great mage. Fortunately, he has the ultimate energy spell and his spirit value is high, which means that even if he drives to the grassland, there will be no problem.

The other is that the clearer the target point, it is best to be a place where the Grand Mage has been personally. This is equivalent to having a reference object, making it easier to open the door. (End of chapter)
