The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After Xu Lai expressed his willingness to accept York's surrender, York's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Moreover, as Xu Lai expressed his acceptance of surrender, the high-level orcs who were still resisting quickly dropped their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands, willing to become prisoners.

Those still struggling with weapons were all real orcs.

In the stronghold camp, surrender is an extremely shameful thing, especially for the orc warriors fighting on the front line.

However, their leaders had already surrendered, and they only listened to the heroes recruiting soldiers, and even threw away their weapons without saying a word.

These orcs, who are already at a dead end, are even less likely to have any good fruits to eat.

Xu Lai waved his hand and killed the orcs who were still resisting. Even if some of them regretted and wanted to surrender, they would still be killed.

Unless they can do the same as York and take out 1.2 million gold coins to buy his life and smash Xu Lai to death on the spot.

No, ordinary soldiers, one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is enough, Xu Lai doesn’t choose at all.

The orcs were known as paupers. They stripped the ogre warrior from head to toe, and he didn't know if he could even find equipment worth 1,000 gold coins.

With a big wooden club and a rotten leather skirt, he relied on his brute strength and terrifying physique to completely ignore other warriors of the same level.

It's a pity that there is no brain.

Xu Lai didn't even understand. His hometown had been turned into such a mess and he didn't have many soldiers left. What was the idea of ​​not keeping these elites at home to breed offspring and then taking them out to die.

You said that if you were the main force of the Revenge Army, Xu Lai would still understand.

The key is that your 1,000 soldiers are still 1,000 infantry who move very slowly and will be abandoned as soon as there is danger.

It's obviously no different with you and without you, but I still rush to deliver it. I don't know why.

Burage still had some backbone. Even though he was so humiliated by Xu Lai, he still gritted his teeth and did not explode the gold coins.

Of course, maybe it's not that he doesn't want to explode, but that he really can't trust Xu Lai.

It's a pity that Burlage has no diplomatic skills, otherwise Xu Lai would be willing to let him go even if he only offered 300,000 gold coins with such a stupid look.

It's a pity that this guy neither surrenders nor leaks the secret.

If Xu Lai hadn't been so smart, he would have spit out a few mouthfuls of blood from this guy.

So Xu Lai had someone beat him unconscious to prevent him from getting up and continue to act like a monster, and he also gave his head to Su Ya.

He had been helping Xu Lai guard the rear. Even though he later personally led the team to the dungeon and cleared out the wild monsters nearby, his level had never been raised.

Although Burlage's level is not as good as Talosi and York, or even Jebadas, he is still a hero in his level 30s.

By killing this guy, Su Ya can get at least one-third of the killing experience, and the level will have to be raised several times at least.

For a battle of this scale, the battle settlement will not come for a while.

What's more, Xu Lai had already said that he would never let any orc leave.

Therefore, the cavalry team dispersed early, some chasing the wolf cavalry, and some chasing the big-eared monster king who fled in all directions. Elvi also led the archangels to chase the Dapeng and Lei who had flown away. bird.

Xu Lai simply asked someone to take a bench and sit in front of York, staring at him as he wrote the confession himself stroke by stroke.

Unlike other orc heroes, York is a blue-faced man, and he is taller than Taloshi, the leader of the Wolf Riders.

Of course, it is incomparable to those majestic Cyclops, but it is still over 3 meters tall. Even if it is kneeling on the ground, it is still as huge as a giant.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, I have to remind you that what you said has no basis in fact. Count Aini is not as despicable as you described."

While York was writing as Xu Lai said, he couldn't help but refute.

There is no way, Xu Lai is not interested in knowing the truth at all.

He didn't bother to guess whether York would lie to him, let alone use the only condition to know the truth.

Therefore, he ignored the facts and directly used this condition to force York to write this confession.

In his confession, York wrote that he and the entire stronghold were bewitched by Count Ani, to the point of committing the capital crime of sending troops to the empire.

However, because he was grateful to the imperial hero Xu Lai for disregarding past accusations, he risked his life to write this confession exposing Count Aini's crimes.

The book records in detail the time and scale of several invasions of the stronghold. Of course, the most important thing is that it also records what kind of help Count Ani provided for the orc invasion.

Each one was made up exactly like the real thing, and even Xu Lai couldn't see any flaws.

This was not something Xu Lai could describe, he only said the first half.

The second half of the content was completely made up by York himself. His only requirement was that it must be convincing.

What else can be more convincing than the truth?

As the top three generals in the stronghold, York knew almost all the actions of the stronghold. What he wrote was completely based on facts, which is certainly convincing enough.

Even Count Ani's failure to cooperate with the temple and passive resistance at the beginning of the orc invasion, including the information revealed by the traitor, and his later connivance of wolf riders to plunder the territory, were all written in as evidence of guilt.

These are all facts, but Count Aini did not collude with the orcs at that time, and it was the descending hero who betrayed the information.

These heroes, including Xu Lai himself, actually have no firm stance.

If Xu Lai had not slipped away early and waited for the stronghold to launch a full-scale attack, Xu Lai at that time promised to surrender to the stronghold without saying a word.

There is no way he would give up his precious life for an emotionless human being.

The other content is mostly about Count Ani's decision-making mistakes and his simple desire to maintain his strength.

The entire content is considered to be 80-90% true and 12% false. However, this content of 89% true and 12% false makes it more reasonable.

"Haha, I don't care if he is despicable or not, you just need to do what you should do, my Mr. York.

Besides, don’t tell me that our great Count Aini is completely unaware of your efforts to penetrate thousands of kilometers into the grassland. "

York was silent for a moment and then said: "That's because His Royal Highness the Beast King's envoy promised him that as long as he can regain the face lost by the stronghold, he will no longer invade the grassland."

Xu Lai sneered and said: "So, I deserve to be the one who is sacrificed. I don't know who expected me to go to the grassland to help him put out the fire."

Although it was Ryan and Duer who came forward at that time, in fact, Aini definitely contributed and supported it.

Otherwise, given the relationship between Xu Lai and Count Aini, how could he be allowed to lead troops into the city, and how could Aini give Xu Lai the qualification to study at the military academy.

Now, Xu Lai was backlashed by what Aini asked him to do, but Aini jumped out to bite Xu Lai at this moment.

What's more, although the Beast King is the king, the reputation of the stronghold seems to be very high.

But the invasion of the empire and the stronghold has already violated the oath made to the Supreme King. It cannot be said that after a thousand years, the original oath can be ignored.

Since I can break my oath made thousands of years ago, so what if I lie to you again, Count Ani?

Even if he had not deceived Count Aini, Xu Lai would not have been able to exchange himself for the peace of the grassland.

Of course, York is now saying good things to Aini, but he is not really fighting for Aini.

It's just that Count Aini has the handle in the stronghold, and York is sensitively aware of Xu Lai's idea of ​​overthrowing Count Aini from between the lines of Xu Lai's words.

York just subconsciously didn't want Count Aini to step down. It was more in the interests of the stronghold that he was on stage.

It's just that he can't protect himself now. He originally hoped that after a few words of criticism to this knight, he could at least get a more fair conclusion.

Unexpectedly, the human knights, who have always been fair and just, started to misrepresent themselves as horses.

After finishing the eloquent confession, York signed his handprint, and he even rubbed his magic mark on it.

The reason why he is blue-faced is because his ancestors once had Titan blood, but it was extremely thin.

Because of this, he is one of the few talents in the stronghold who can master spells proficiently.

It's a pity that in the entire stronghold, only the Royal Court has a level 3 magic guild. It would be good to have level 2 magic guilds in other places.

After Xu Lai browsed it, he was very satisfied.

In this way, the surrender conditions of diplomacy are half completed.

The other half of the condition is 1.2 million gold coins, of which York wants to pay 720,000 gold coins.

The laws of diplomacy do not help bear the extra burden.

York's space ring actually contains a lot of gold coins.

For heroes with diplomatic skills, it has become almost instinctive to store a large amount of gold coins and rare resources in the space ring.

Even Xu Lai has to keep a lot of gold coins in his space backpack at all times. Firstly, he is afraid that he will not have enough money for diplomacy when he encounters suitable wild monsters.

Secondly, as a lord and a hero, Xu Lai has a lot to spend money on.

But for York, there is another important role, which is to use the laws of diplomacy to initiate surrender.

Of course, you can surrender without diplomacy. Even for high-level heroes, the gold coins required to surrender may be less.

But this verbal agreement is not protected by diplomatic rules.

Even if both parties sign a magic contract, let's not talk about whether there is an unsigned magic contract with them in times of crisis. Even if there is, the cost of the other party's breach of contract will be much smaller.

Although Diplomacy had already explained the ransom payment, Xu Lai never took it to heart because Diplomacy cannot make decisions for others.

If the other party wants to kill you, they may not value your few gold coins.

However, the master-level diplomacy also activated three additional special effects. In addition to the added persuasion at the intermediate level, the additional effects that appeared at the advanced level directly knocked Xu Lai to the ground.

However, 720,000 gold coins is a huge sum of money after all. With York's net worth, he does not have such a large amount of cash in reserve.

As a last resort, the rare resources that could have been sold at high prices were directly liquidated by the diplomatic rules at 75 gold coins per unit.

But in the end, York still took out the money, which meant that York gained free status.

"Can I take this and exchange it with you for a few captives?" (End of Chapter)
