The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

While Xu Lai was busy in Qingfeng City, the opponent Xu Lai was about to deal with was restless.

"Have you not been able to capture Martell's castle yet?"

Behind the battlefield, Earl Aini, sitting in a tent, was furious.

Parame, the spell consultant and Count Ani’s first think tank, reminded:

"Lord, the order you just issued yesterday morning was to suspend the attack and negotiate with the other party."

Aini paused, and then he remembered that yesterday, Jimmy Martell, that bastard, hung all the knights he had worked so hard to train on the city wall.

Fortunately, it was already late autumn and winter was about to begin. The temperature during the day was not high, so the knights would not be directly exposed to the sun due to their physique.

However, these knights hanging on the city walls made Aini afraid to use long-range weapons at all.

You know, the more than 3,000 knights led by Jimmy are Aini's last treasure. He has always kept them by his side as a bodyguard.

Even during the war with the orcs, his two large knights were wiped out, and even the reserve knights in the rear were constantly raided by wolf riders, and he was only willing to leave a small number of knights.

And Jimmy, the bastard who wanted his life, actually hung his knight on the wall and used it as a human shield.

As it happened, the morale of the troops also declined after repeated battles.

So Aini ordered to temporarily stop the attack. On the one hand, he retrained the troops, and on the other hand, he negotiated with the other party to see what conditions he could use to redeem his precious knight first.

Although the orcs have withdrawn from the grassland, these few months are not enough for Aini to train many knights.

Even if all the recruited knights in all the territories were counted, there would only be two or three hundred.

In this war, Aini conscripted all the nobles in the territory, but other nobles did not have many cavalry.

Aini just used his identity as earl to mix the viscounts, barons, and canonized knights with their knight troops.

The barely assembled 500-member knights were not subordinate to each other, and the members did not know each other, and some were even hostile to each other.

Such a group doesn't have much fighting power at all.

Fortunately, Aini is attacking the city now, not a night battle. No matter whether these knights are good or bad, as long as they can be tied to him and don't cause any other troubles.

Count Aini, it’s not like he doesn’t know what’s going on outside now. Rumors about him are flying everywhere.

And it can't be considered a rumor. At least, many of these nobles know about it.

Besides, Jimmy Martell, a confidant who was deeply trusted by him, also betrayed him at this time.

Under the influence of external public opinion, there is no guarantee that other nobles will not, like Jimmy Martell, do the opposite.

Only by tying them tightly to our side so that they dare not rebel even if they want to, and then cutting Jimmy to pieces as a warning to others, can we possibly suppress the current situation.

Originally, Jimmy Martell's army had been driven back to the castle by him, so Aini didn't need to be so anxious.

First of all, there won't be much farmland in the castle. Even if there are food reserves in advance, how much of the reserves can sustain these hundreds of thousands of people?

Secondly, Aini really couldn't bear to part with his knights, so he simply negotiated and besieged them at the same time.

If he trapped all the people in the city to death, he could take over an entire city without losing any blood.

If the people in the city can't help it and want to fight to the death, Count Aini is not afraid.

They are outnumbered, and without the advantages of city walls and arrow towers, will Aini still be afraid in the field?

But the premise of all this is that there is no one to disturb him. Whether it is the orcs or Xu Lai, if they make the slightest move at this moment, Count Aini's heart will tremble.

However, just this morning, as soon as he woke up, he got information that he would definitely have nightmares tonight.

According to intelligence, Xu Lai from Qingfeng City held a military parade yesterday.

Count Ani has always known the weakness of these descendants, which is that they lack the accumulation of time.

This resulted in their insufficient economic strength, low level, and not many soldiers.

Although the name Xu Lai has frightened him a little, he is not too worried yet.

From the beginning to the end, Count Aini was only worried about the angels under Xu Lai's command and the Doomsday Judgment unleashed by Xu Lai.

However, Xu Lai's Doomsday Judgment will never be released in densely populated areas.

Otherwise, even if Xu Lai can win, he will be isolated from the entire empire camp, and even the human camp.

Those angels are a headache, and at present, there is no good way to prevent them.

The other party only needs to target him, Aini, and bring a team of angels to behead him. Aini really has no good solution.

So when he went out this time, he wanted to bring out the magic consultant who usually didn't move. If he really encountered beheading, a teleportation spell could teleport the two of them away.

The gates of time and space and the gates of different dimensions are directly connected to the town. Once the city gate is blocked, teleportation will naturally be impossible.

But personal teleportation is not that troublesome. Kaunaston Castle has a teleportation array. All it takes is a powerful mage to cast a spell and he can be taken back in an instant.

With Parame's ability, a teleportation spell can take up to ten seconds to cast.

If his guards couldn't resist for more than ten seconds, then even if they could return to the castle, they would not be able to stop the opponent's beheading.

However, even if Xu Lai could behead himself, it would be useless. Can he and his few angels rule an earldom?

But the news he received this morning completely defeated Aini's luck.

It turned out that Xu Lai had already accumulated a group of such powerful troops.

To use the original words in the intelligence, it is like thousands of horses galloping and spears like a forest.

Of course, this must be an exaggeration. Xu Laiman only had more than a thousand knights at his best.

However, in addition to recruiting soldiers, the knights on Joseph's side, whether they are archers or heroic knights, already have one man and two horses.

In addition to the pack horses and draft horses in the logistics and transportation camps, there are always 3 to 4,000 horses, not to mention 10,000 horses.

The most important thing is that the intelligence also said that they organized an assassination of Xu Lai, but the assassination failed.

The original words in the intelligence were that the assassination failed, many people were arrested, the intelligence system was almost paralyzed, and Qingfeng City's crusade against Count Aini had reached a climax.

These few words directly made Aini want to vomit blood.

He had ordered his intelligence personnel to kill Xu Lai directly if there was a chance.

This mission was something he had already assigned, but he didn't expect it to be suddenly detonated at this moment.

His previous thought was that if there were dates or no dates, he would just hit three poles, just in case he won the lottery.

Even if Xu Lai discovers it, it doesn't matter. What kind of waves can a mere advent hero make?

However, when Xu Lai almost wiped out the incoming horse thieves with a spell on the grassland, Aini regretted it a little.

However, he had been a little lucky before, hoping that the secret of his collusion with the orcs would not be exposed.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Lai hadn't heard much about it, but his confidants betrayed him and spread rumors that he was colluding with the orcs.

If he had only betrayed him, Count Aini would not have gone to such great lengths to fight.

At least Xu Lai has shown his strength, and there are such rumors, he will definitely take refuge in his castle.

If he didn't come forward, how could other nobles really carry out the orders seriously and fight with another viscount who had a good location.

It was because of this rumor that Aini knew.

If he doesn't get the evidence from Jimmy and allows it to ferment like this, not only him, but also his family will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever along with him.

Among the four empires, no matter who wins the position of Supreme King in the end, they will definitely not let him go.

Not to mention the temple. Even before the rumors spread, the temple had called back all the priests in his territory, including Kaunaston Castle, in the name of supporting the battlefield.

The knights who had stayed behind to support had already left after the orcs retreated, otherwise Aini might not have dared to trade with the orcs.

"Talk, talk nonsense, talk, hit, hit me immediately!"

Count Ani's roar also contained a little vibrato.

Seeing this appearance, Parame frowned and couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency, please calm down."

With this sound, Parame instantly cast a awakening spell, which instantly calmed Count Aini down.

"Mage, I got news that Xu Lai is already arranging his troops and may launch an attack on me at any time!"

Parame frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic. It is a serious violation of the Nobility Act for lower-level nobles to attack upper-level nobles.

Even if the empire is divided now, there will always be a day when it will be reunited in the future. Does the man named Xu want to fight against the entire empire on his own? "

Count Aini opened his mouth, sighed and said: "I just gave him an excuse.

I had previously ordered my men to find a way to kill this guy as soon as I got the chance. I have long seen through these fallen heroes that they are all ambitious people. "

Parame was speechless, he said: "What excuse did you give him? Does he have evidence? As long as you refuse to admit it, are you still going to let him say it?"

As long as you refuse to acknowledge the unilateral evidence, neither the Noble Council nor the temple will recognize him. "

Aini hesitated and said: "But I can no longer communicate with the temple, and I can't count on the noble council. They won't help me."

Parame frowned and said coldly: "Lord Earl, please tell me whether the rumors spreading outside are true?"

After glancing at Parame, Ani hesitated, but after all, he didn't hide his spell consultant.

After listening, Parame sighed and said:

"I have always maintained a relatively good personal relationship with several archbishops in the temple. I wonder if I can ask them to come forward and restrain Xu Lai."

Aini smiled and said: "You can contact us and agree to go out on any terms. I will definitely not hold you back." (End of Chapter)
