The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Temple knights, of course, are paid.

Theoretically, Xu Lailai does not need to pay for them anymore.

What's more, although the credit for this battle is not all Xu Lai's, the reason why these temple knights were able to advance is because they have received their share of the credit.

It can be said that if Xu Lai did not achieve this feat, no one could say anything about him.

Just like Christian and Entan, they don't care about anything, especially the latter, who simply act as a decoration and don't even participate in the action plan of the Third Knights.

But Xu Lai is different from them. He is more fair. Even people like Luo Mingru and Fang Yang will not hesitate to share the results of the battle with them as long as they have made contributions.

Xu Lai believed that the merits obtained by killing enemies alone were not enough to reward these knights.

Especially later, without these knights driving them away over and over again in the mine, how could it be possible for so many monsters to fall under Xu Lai's wall of fire.

However, these meritorious deeds were all included in Xu Lai's name in the temple's merit reward list.

Today, Xu Lai's meritorious service is still more than 420,000, even after paying the upgrade fees for the trainee knights and knight retainers.

No way, in addition to killing hundreds of thousands of demons, Xu Lai's destruction of two sulfur mines was also considered to have completed the task of destroying two important facilities.

Coupled with the logistical tasks of submitting trophies, Xu Lai's merits once exceeded 600,000.

After spending more than 200,000 merits, Xu Lai did not keep the 420,000 merits. Instead, he paid 400,000 merits and asked the bishop to help redeem his mortgage.

The Forbidden Magic Ball is of little use at other times, but it is extremely useful against Sellon.

If Xu Lai is not redeemed for a day, he will not be able to feel at ease for a day.

Who knows if the temple will take out his forbidden magic ball for use. If it is just a simple use, then forget it. If the user is killed, his treasure will be lost.

What's more, Xu Lai has suffered two losses in the battles with demons these days, both times he was defeated by the magic attacks of demon troops.

Whether it is the charm ability of the succubus, the flame breath of the three-headed hell dog, or the spells of the hell generals guarding the sulfur mines, they are all actively released spells and will be restricted by the forbidden magic ball.

The succubus' long-range sting and passive charm, as well as the physical attack capabilities of the three heads of the three-headed hell dog, are not affected by the forbidden magic ball.

The fire demon's flame throwing is the same as Magog. They don't cast spells, they just perform the physical action of throwing.

The fireball that caused damage was actually the flame substance generated in their bodies. The forbidden magic ball could not stop them from secreting this substance.

Just like the Forbidden Magic Ball, it also cannot invalidate the Fire Aegis of the Fire Elves, because these are their biological instincts and do not require active spell casting.

The bishop didn't know what Xu Lai's pledge was, but he didn't dare to neglect the pledge worth 400,000 merits.

Similarly, several crimson archbishops who were resting learned about it and did not dare to neglect it.

Normally, it would be impossible for them to deal with such chores at such a late hour, but after knowing that it was Forbidden Magic Ball and Xu Lai, they still gave them face for the first time.

Xu Lai quickly got his collateral, which was still sealed, and Xu Lai needed to break the seal himself.

Lina was also curious about Xu Lai's collateral, but she resisted asking and instead solemnly thanked Xu Lai.

Regardless, Xu Lai immediately upgraded to Archangel and gave up all the resurrection spots to Lina.

Later, he used his own merits to help other temple knights pay for their upgrades, which won the favor of Lina and all the temple knights.

This is also one of the goals Xu Lai wants to achieve. After all, encouraged by the ultimate leadership skills and successive victories, the morale of the Temple Knights has exceeded 95 points and is about to reach full value.

But Xu Lai knew that full morale was only useful for recruiting soldiers.

For these temple knights, in order to maximize their combat effectiveness, they still need to have people's hearts available. This is an invisible morale.

Xu Lai accepted Lina's thanks, threw a ring to her with his backhand and said:

"This is your share, it belongs to the mine guard, and I exchanged the rest of the equipment for the bishop.

This ring is of a high grade and should be of some use at this time, so I leave it to you. "

Xu Lai's ring had no place to use, both hands were full. Joseph and the others picked up ordinary equipment and changed it themselves, while giving the better ones to Xu Lai.

[Fire Ring]: Magic equipment that increases one's own fire spell damage by 20% and reduces one's own fire spell damage by 20%.

This ring is actually quite powerful, especially for heroes or generals from hell.

There are almost no people in hell who can't use fire spells.

But for people like Xu Lai, this thing is only half effective, and it's the least important half.

Lina didn't refuse, Xu Lai gave it to her, and she took it.

Looking at the attributes, it was indeed better than one of my own rings, and more suitable for fighting hell, so I put it on without saying a word.

After dividing the spoils, the two sides rested separately.

This supply should be the only supply in the next few days.

They couldn't attack the city, and the nearby sulfur mines had burned down. If they wanted to find fighters, they would have to search deeper. When the way back was blocked by other hell heroes, it wouldn't be easy to evacuate.

Xu Lai and the others have been running around for a few days, and today they can finally have a solid sleep in the city.

They slept soundly, but Yu Wanxi was so angry that his liver ached.

After finally waiting for his troops to arrive at the mine, Xu Lai and the others had already run away for who knows how long, leaving him alone to absorb the poisonous gas.

People in hell are just resistant to flames and are used to the smell of sulfur, but that doesn't mean they are also used to the smell of burning sulfur, which is poisonous.

And compared with the poisonous gases in modern society, sulfur containing magical elements is more toxic.

Yu Wanxi only stayed for a while before feeling dizzy.

Fortunately, after coming to this world, his physique has become many times stronger than before. However, after all, he is only a mage, and his resistance to poison is much worse than that of a warrior.

This place is definitely not suitable for people during the day or tonight, and Xu Lai has already retreated. Even if he goes back now, he has completed his mission.

But Wanxi was not willing to give in. The most important thing was that he finally obtained the command of so many soldiers.

You must know that after gaining command authority, part of the experience of all enemies killed by these soldiers will be given to the commander.

Once they go back, their command rights will be confiscated, and it will be impossible to rely on these thousands of soldiers for welfare, especially those Magog, which are precious long-range units, and there are more than a thousand of them.

Yu Wanxi chased out of the lava land overnight, but he found no trace of Xu Lai nearby.

Advanced pathfinding skills told him that the tracks of Xu Lai's large army had left for several hours, and it would be impossible for him to pursue them with a group of infantrymen.

The pathfinding skills that I had learned in order to conquer the tower finally had a chance to show off.

Following the footsteps, Yu Wanxi found an abandoned imperial village to set up camp.

He was quite cautious, not only arranging shifts, but also deliberately placing several hidden spell traps on the avenue.

The cavalry most likes to take the road, which is spacious and fast, and does not require the blessing of pathfinding skills.

What Yu Wanxi arranged was his best fire spell trap, the flame mine.

Dozens of them were buried, arranged hundreds of meters away.

Just in case, he deliberately laid mines in the town leading to where he was resting, which cost him a lot of mana.

The flame mine was invisible to Xu Lai, but not to Hell's own people, so even if it was accidentally stepped on by hiding villagers or wild monsters, it would be fine. They could only blame them for their bad luck.

Not to mention, the mine Yu Wanxi planted really exploded, and several of them exploded at once.

Boom, boom, boom, three loud noises in a row, Yan Feng, who was responsible for exploring the road ahead, was blown away and turned upside down.

Whenever Xu Lai's troops advance, they will definitely arrange for people to explore the way.

In the past, Silver Wing led his team of elves, who could fly and run. The elves' eyesight was far superior to that of humans.

But no matter when Yan Feng was a squadron leader or a cavalry horse archer, with fast horses and Silver Wings present or not, he had always been personally responsible for the main pathfinding work.

When the first explosion sounded, Yan Feng ordered the team to stop advancing, but the horse was too fast to stop for a while.

But there is good news. The main damage caused by the explosion was the horses under their crotches, including Yan Feng and the horses of the other two heroes, who were seriously injured.

As for them, they suffered some impact injuries and fire injuries. With the sacred blood bottle and the effect of spell resistance, they were only slightly injured and the horses were not dead.

As long as they don't die, it won't be a big problem. After the paladins behind them arrive, a few healing spells can cure them and their mounts.

The main reason was that Yu Wanxi was the only one to deploy the mines, and he had to deploy them so far away that the mines were scattered.

If he was sure that Xu Lai and the others would take this route and bury dozens of fire mines, Yan Feng and his vanguard would not be able to survive unless they were all dead. At least the dozen heroes who triggered the mines first would not be able to survive. .

The key is that it can't even be resurrected, because it will definitely be blown to pieces.

Now that we know there are landmines ahead, of course we can't continue to rush forward like a fool.

However, this explosion also successfully made Xu Lai alert.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Captain, I have been too negligent."

"It's not entirely your fault. I can't blame you for not being able to see the invisible units, but your troops are a bit too dense and they keep walking along the road. What if there are ambushes on both sides of the road?"

Yan Feng was ashamed and wanted to be punished, but Xu Lai said again:

"I also have a problem. I'm too anxious about everything and can't give you enough time.

Fortunately, no casualties were caused by this trap, so let's just leave it as a memory. "(End of chapter)
