The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai, who had not been home for a long time, no longer recognized the appearance of Qingfeng City. Even the land he stood on was no longer the original city gate.

At the gate of the city, Su Ya who rushed out completely lost her usual reserve and hung directly on Xu Lai.

Xu Lai patted her gently, smiled and said to her, "I'm back."

If it weren't for the wrong time and wrong occasion, Su Ya might really cry.

Fortunately, as Xu Lai's chief housekeeper, Su Ya controlled her emotions in time and began to assist Xu Lai in containing the troops.

The large suspension bridge was lowered, and the heavy wooden bridge could allow two trailers to travel parallel to each other at the same time. Ten knights could pass through in a row without being crowded.

But Xu Lai did not let the knights enter the city. Instead, he asked the leader of the priesthood, La Jinsi, to take his priests into the city to rest.

Long before Xu Lai came back, he had already made many deductions in his mind based on various situations.

The first is that he can only bring his headquarters back. In that case, even if his troops are elite, they are still too few in number and must take advantage of the city walls and base camp.

The second is to bring back the Sixth Knights. There are many high-level soldiers in the orc army. Under the leadership of high-level heroes, even if the Sixth Knights alone can win in field battles, the losses will not be small.

Therefore, Xu Lai had to use the city wall to first sharpen the opponent's morale, and then use catapults and ballistae to eliminate some of the high-level soldiers in the stronghold.

When the orcs were about to retreat, he led the knights to charge again to seal the victory.

Finally, we can bring back the priests and priests other than the Sixth Knights.

In this case, there was basically no pressure to defend the city, and Xu Lai had no intention of entering the city.

The greatest advantage of the cavalry is mobility. Although there are walls to hide in the city, it loses the advantage of mobility.

If he puts the cavalry outside, he can drag the soldiers in the stronghold to death as long as the logistics supply line is cleared.

Moreover, don't forget that these guys go deep into the hinterland of the grassland.

If they're on the border, they can run away if they can't be beaten.

Now, where can they run if they can't defeat him? How can they outrun his cavalry?

Under Xu Lai's order, Elvi took off with the angel troops.

There are hundreds of rocs and thunderbirds at the stronghold, and their levels are not low. In order to prevent any damage to Xu Lai's most precious angel troops, hundreds of griffons on the city wall also flew out.

With the help of the cover of these griffins, the angel troops hiding among them are not easily discovered.

Xu Lai is no longer thinking about how to defend Qingfeng City, but wants to annihilate the stronghold troops in one fell swoop and even capture the leader of the troops.

"After discovering the stronghold force, I set fire to the jungle. It should be able to delay the orcs for a while."

It was Giselle and Jian Yuan who reported the situation to Xu Lai. They were the first to discover the orc army, and Jian Yuan even took the risk to investigate.

If it weren't for the invisibility skill, this guy might not be able to come back.

However, he also took the risk to bring Xu Lai the most detailed information.

What was dispatched from the stronghold was indeed an elite force.

The person leading the wolf cavalry was Xu Lai's old friend, the evil wolf general Taloxi who had been dismissed.

The ogres were led by Xu Lai's old friend, the ogre chief Burage.

Just because these two high-level heroes appeared at the same time, if Xu Lai failed to come back, his Qingfeng City would definitely be in danger.

There were no ordinary giants dispatched from the stronghold this time. They were all cyclops with siege capabilities.

A full 600 Cyclops bombarded the city, and even the reinforced city wall could not hold out for long.

These guys are at level 7. Except that the attack range is not as good as that of a catapult, they can be regarded as catapults.

600 Cyclops are equivalent to 300 or 400 catapults, so a castle-level city can resist for a longer period of time.

The most important thing is that this time the orc commander is no longer Talosi.

Although Taloshi's level is high, he specializes in wolf riding, leadership skills, offensive skills and tactics, but he does not have ballistic skills for siege.

As a general who leads cavalry, what use is his expertise in siege?

Therefore, this strange orc hero is very likely to be good at siege.

The flying units are Thunderbirds and Rocs, which should be squeezed out with great difficulty.

The big-eared monster can be completely ignored. This thing is basically a mobile ration for the orcs.

The other thousand ogres are also ogre warriors, a few ogre chiefs and two-headed ogre magicians, plus 5,000 orc warriors.

This army is really an elite force put together by the orcs. If Xu Lai only uses more than 2,000 cavalry to collide with the opponent head-on, he will definitely suffer.

The opponent's 2,000 wolf knights are basically at level 6 and 7. These wolf knights alone are enough for Xu Lai to eat a pot.

However, Xu Lai can basically conclude that the orcs should have no follow-up support.

If the orcs had sufficient logistical supply capabilities, it would be impossible for them to go out to fight with all their elites without cannon fodder.

They are fighting a siege. No matter how powerful the Cyclops is, Qingfeng City can defend and repair at the same time. It should be no problem to hold on for a long time.

In less than half a day, just the output of the shooters in the arrow tower at the top of the city had to kill a large number of people.

Coupled with the crossbows and catapults, if more than half of these elites died, it would be almost impossible to capture Qingfeng City.

If the orcs are capable, they don't need too many. Bringing 5,000 more orcs and 5,000 orc berserkers will definitely reduce casualties greatly.

After listening to the report, Xu Lai patted Giselle on the head and asked her to report to Dill.

Although the orcs were delayed, Xu Lai didn't have much time.

Therefore, he simply did not even enter the city and asked Su Ya to prepare more food and tents for him. He planned to retreat to the underground entrance and set up camp.

Xu Lai planned to annihilate this orc army. He was afraid that if these guys couldn't defeat them, they would hide underground.

The environment of the underground passage is complex, and the key is that it extends in all directions. Not only is it extremely difficult to chase a troop, but it is also easy to provoke the troops in the underground city.

Xu Lai's appearance was immediately sensed by the ogre priest.

The orc troops that had crossed the burning jungle simply stopped.

"According to what the great prophet said, that abominable human hometown has extremely strong defense capabilities.

Now with the blessing of that guy's ultimate defense technique and his high-level cavalry troops, this revenge operation can be declared a failure. "

Taloshi said dissatisfied: "His cavalry unit was left to me. We have never been able to have a good fight in the wilderness. This time we fight in his hometown. I don't believe he can continue to escape."

"That's right, His Majesty the Beast King personally came forward this time to ask that old guy Aini to let us in. If we return without success, how can we be worthy of His Majesty?"

Borag, whose entire tribe was almost destroyed by Xu Lai, would not agree even more.

The actual commander of this force, the orc hero York who specializes in Cyclops, does not want the stronghold's massive revenge operation to become a laughing stock.

He is now competing with Lockenhardt for the position of stronghold generalissimo, and urgently needs the support of other heroes.

Although Talosi and Bragg have both lost power, they are still one of the top heroes in the stronghold.

"Okay then, I authorize you to command your own troops, and you must exclude Xu Lai's cavalry troops.

My one-eyed and half-orc warriors are no match for those knights in close combat.

Once these long-range troops suffer heavy losses, this revenge operation can only fail. "

Neither of them had any objections. Talosi stood up bitterly and said: "Look at me, I will never let those knights touch your one eye."

York said nothing. As one of the top three figures in the stronghold camp, York also owned a space ring with a large capacity.

He pushed out a large number of packing bags from inside. Under his command, a group of big-eared monster kings unpacked and reassembled these packing bags.

After the assembly was completed, there were three mobile packing catapults and 12 thunderbolt ballistas made from Thunderbird hearts.

After all, the catapult can shoot farther. He wants to knock down the arrow tower on Qingfeng City first and then talk about it later.

If these arrow towers are not shot down, the casualties will be too great when One-Eye and the Orc Warriors get closer.

The other two people also followed suit and each took out the packed siege equipment from the space equipment.

In the end, more than 1,000 big-eared monsters pushed 5 catapults, 12 thunderbolt ballistas, and 20 ordinary ballistae at the forefront, forming the first wave of siege queues.

York just wants to fight with the enemy. He has the blessing of ballistics. Although he uses a low-end version of the mobile catapult, the output and attack range may not be inferior to the fixed catapult.

As for whether the big-eared monsters controlling the catapults were dead or not, York didn't worry about it. Anyway, if they died, they would be the food for One-Eyed. Even if these big-eared monsters were alive, they would die soon.

If these equipment could be destroyed together with the enemy's arrow towers and catapults, York would be satisfied.

However, because of carrying these siege equipment, there is no longer enough rations in the space ring.

Depending on what each warrior can carry on his own, even if these big-eared monsters are added, they will not be able to hold on for long. They still have to return.

This was something Xu Lai did not expect. The reason why the stronghold only prepared so few troops was not because the stronghold only had this few elite troops, but because they had not prepared any logistical supplies at all.

This was originally supposed to be a surprise operation. They relied on the prophet's divination to roughly calculate the location of Xu Lai's city.

However, the wolf riders who conducted early reconnaissance were still unable to break through the blockade, especially in an expanding jungle. At least nearly 500 wolf riders fell there in more than half a month.

In the end, there was no other way. His Majesty the Beast King personally sent an envoy, using threats and inducements to get Aini to hand over the map of Qingfeng City and even the city defense layout of Qingfeng City.

Of course, this layout plan is only a rough drawing by the businessman, and Su Ya's protection of the military restricted area is still very good.

In fact, the orcs did not intend to fulfill their promise. They planned to directly announce Count Aini after destroying Xu Lai's city.

At that time, Count Ani, who has become a traitor to mankind, will be desperate.

At this time, the Beast King came forward again and promised that as long as Aini joined the stronghold, he would give him a higher status and a wider land. Count Aini would definitely be unable to refuse.

Therefore, with the help of Count Aini, the biggest local snake, the stronghold should be able to annex the entire Pingfeng Grassland as long as it sends a similar force.

With Pingfeng Grassland as a base, it will be much easier to mobilize troops from the stronghold and raise food and grass.

At that time, the orcs can decide the next step based on the war between humans and other camps.

Therefore, the destruction of Qingfeng City was not only for revenge, but also to convince other human nobles that their stronghold was cooperating with Aini. (End of chapter)
