The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After explaining Su Ya, Xu Lai swaggered and led his guards from the west to the east of the city, and finally walked around the big market.

When passing by the cattle and horse market, Xu Lai specifically asked Wei Yihong to move this part of the market outside the city.

Xu Lai plans to build another subsidiary town outside Qingfeng City.

In the future, the cattle and horse market, refining center, cattle and horse breeding and other tasks will all be handed over to this subsidiary town.

Moreover, not all caravans can directly enter the city to trade, nor can just anyone be placed directly in the city.

Trade in an outside town first, or settle down for a period of time to accumulate certain qualifications before entering the city.

In this case, the city will be easier to manage and safer, but it cannot be too restrictive.

Xu Lai cannot leave this town near Qingfeng City to the Advent Heroes. This city has a relatively large impact on Qingfeng City.

Considering the main purpose of this subsidiary town, Xu Lai appointed Wei Yihong as the mayor of the town and Xiao Aiboka as the deputy mayor of the town to preside over the daily work of the town.

Xu Lai has not relieved them of their old positions, so Wei Yihong's main job is still the management of the market and caravans.

The appointment of Wei Yihong as mayor was mainly for the smooth construction of the new market.

Xu Lai handed over the construction of the refining center to Kasatz, who was originally from Gram Town and was later responsible for the entire blacksmith shop in Qingfeng City.

The daily work of the racecourse is left to Dani, Lacy's wife and the mistress in charge of horses, cattle and sheep in Gram Village.

There is also a permanent security station in the outlying towns. The person in charge is Luti, one of the mercenaries who Xu Lai resurrected Elvi. The other one went to Luo Mingru's town and is considered a supervisor.

In addition to them, Xu Lai also called Lazi, Big Aiboka, Aaron and others over one by one and told them the focus of their work in the coming period.

It's still the same thing. As the chief executive, Lacy has to promote the separation of the market, the construction of the auction house, and the communication and management of peripheral towns and Qingfeng City for Xu Lai.

Aiboka also wants to organize caravans and actively travel to more cities, on the one hand to help promote Qingfeng City.

On the other hand, they also hope to develop more cities like Deep Sea Tribe.

Although most of the nobles on the grassland are still around Aini, there are also many independent towns.

In other words, there are many towns that do not refuse to contact Xu Lai.

Aaron's task is even heavier. Although the troops have set off, the recruitment work will not stop.

It's just that compared to before, the selection will be stricter, and he will not enter the army for the time being. He will first enter the security team, and then see whether he wants to join the army.

After everything was explained, Xu Lai made a special trip to the cathedral.

After the church was upgraded to a sacred cathedral, this was Xu Lai's first time here.

Xu Lai stayed in the cathedral until evening, and when it was getting dark, he took his guards and swaggered back to his castle.

At the same time, after a whole day passed, Count Aini finally received the information from the insider.

Intelligence content showed that Xu Lai's troops disappeared and did not appear until night.

However, this information is not enough for Aini to take it seriously. After all, Xu Lai's troops have been away recently.

Moreover, that army only has a total combat strength of 10,000 people. The 10,000 newly recruited soldiers are all new soldiers. Apart from helping to transport food, they are just cannon fodder.

What worries Aini the most has always been Xu Lai himself and the terrifying number of paladins and angels around him.

But all these people and troops that Aini was afraid of stayed in Qingfeng City.

Therefore, even if the intelligence said that there was no trace of the newly recruited 10,000 logistics troops this time, Aini was still not too worried.

Of course, just because he wasn't worried didn't mean he wasn't prepared.

After all, when he was attacking the city, it would definitely be uncomfortable to have such a troop in the rear.

Aini decided to attack the city ahead of schedule tomorrow, even if the latest equipment and ammunition hadn't arrived yet.

But without the cover of the ballistae and catapults, the casualties would have been much higher.

The priests in the temple, no matter how much money Aini paid, refused to follow him, so that the wounded in the army could only be treated with healing spells.

Fortunately, he himself copied this spell, which means that healing injuries can only restore life, but there is nothing that can be done about injuries such as broken arms and fractures.

After thinking about it, Aini still found his newly appointed knight commander and said to him:

"Tomorrow morning, after you have eaten, you will do more searching in the direction of Qingfeng City.

If reinforcements from Qingfeng City are discovered, intercept them on the spot. "

The knight commander looked around and said cautiously: "But Lord Earl, even if we include all the attendants of the nobles, we only have less than a thousand people."

Aini frowned and said: "Of course I know, I'm not asking you to destroy this group of people, I'm asking you to intercept them and delay them.

Is it possible to do long-range archery, is it possible to use light cavalry to harass?

If it doesn't work, the opponent's logistics troops will all be new soldiers, and they will definitely be separated from the main army.

Do you want to tell me that you can't even defeat a group of new soldiers? "

The knight commander didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he had no choice but to accept the order and leave.

"etc!"

The knight commander was stunned for a moment, but then he saw Aini who was gradually calming down and said: "There are many horses in the camp. You can pick a thousand herdsmen who are good at riding and can shoot a bow to build up your momentum."

Aini actually understands the concerns of the knight commander. He is a newly appointed knight commander, but his subordinates are all nobles with higher titles than him and their attendants.

Under such circumstances, with Aini by his side, he might still be able to barely control the situation by relying on Aini's influence.

But leading them out to fight, the newly promoted knight commander did not have the slightest confidence.

So Aini asked him to pick another thousand mounted infantry, which would play a big role in bluffing the enemy or his own people.

After giving instructions to the knight commander, Aini said to Parame worriedly:

"Master, please help me confirm again. I need to ask clearly. I really don't feel at ease if I don't ask Xu Lai's location clearly."

Parame frowned when he heard this and said: "At this time, if we take the initiative to contact Qingfeng City, we will easily expose them.

And I received a lot of magical messages, all from different people, who didn't even know each other's identity.

I can be sure that Xu Lai just returned to the castle from the street at least half an hour ago. "

Aini frowned and said, "It's not like we are so unlucky. Besides, we have many hidden secrets in Qingfeng City. It's not a big deal even if one of them is exposed."

Parame sighed, sensing that Aini had lost some sense of control. Even before the war started, she was already full of fear of Xu Lai.

But there is no way, Paramei himself is in deep trouble, and except for Ani, no one else will give him such high treatment.

At that moment, Parame began to release communication spells in front of Aini.

However, for a long time, the communication was not connected.

Parame frowned and quickly changed her communication partner.

However, even after changing the target, the communication was still not connected.

Three communication partners were changed in a row, and Parame's spells all entered a state of forced cooling due to continuous spell casting.

Senior mages always have some metamagic skills of their own, such as instantaneous spellcasting, silent spellcasting, extreme distance casting, etc.

Parame just used the ability to cast spells continuously, so that she could release small spells such as communication magic three times in a short period of time.

No matter how inexperienced Count Ani was in spells, he still saw the clues, but he resisted and did not disturb Parame.

It wasn't until Parame stopped that Ani couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, mage? Is there something wrong with the spell?"

Parame shook her head and said: "There is no problem with the spell, but I couldn't contact those communicators."

Aini frowned and said, "Even if it's inconvenient, it's impossible to have several accidents in a row."

Parame nodded and said, "Count, don't worry, just wait a few more minutes and I'll try a few more times."

Aini has no other better way now, so he can only continue to wait for a few minutes.

Finally, 5 minutes later, Paramei successfully contacted a craftsman in Qingfeng City. Aini couldn't wait to ask the other party about Xu Lai's whereabouts.

"Xu Lai? I have already reported his whereabouts in the afternoon. He patrolled the streets and the market, and finally went to the cathedral.

He spent the longest time in the market place and the cathedral.

It was not until evening that he returned to the castle with his guards, and we could no longer trace his whereabouts inside the castle. "

Aini breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "What about his angels? Did they set off with the large army?"

"The angel troops are always there. When the villain returned from near the castle in the evening, he saw a large number of angels landing on the castle."

Ani was about to ask again, but suddenly there was a sound of breaking the door on the other side.

"Ah, who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense and arrest the person first. Master Nofa, please follow him immediately."

Parame was startled and quickly cut off the communication, but she didn't know if the other party had tracked her location.

Of course he was not afraid that others would know his location. They were at the main camp, surrounded by two legions of 100,000 troops, so what could he be afraid of?

What he is worried about is that through the position, the opponent can directly determine his inside position.

Of course, if someone is caught at this time, even if they fail to track the specific location, they will probably be arrested and interrogated as a key suspect.

"Your Excellency, it seems that they are not refusing to answer my communications, but just like the situation just now, they have all been arrested by the other party.

They were smarter this time, knowing that we were using magic communication, and their location must have been inferred based on magic fluctuations.

I just don’t know how many people will fall into their hands this time. I hope they can miss more. "

Qingfeng City is now a very large city. Even if the expansion has not been completed, the scale is already quite large.

In addition, the security team is short of manpower and the number of mages is not large. It is impossible to avoid omissions.

In addition, merchants will also have communication needs, and lighting techniques, healing techniques, etc., also belong to the category of spells and will cause a certain scale of magic power fluctuations.

Therefore, even if we caught a whole day, there were still several fish that slipped through the net.

However, since the large-scale manhunt was conducted on the day of the military parade, many details have been caught.

Of course, not all of them are from Count Aini.

But there is no doubt that Count Aini suffered the most heavy losses.

After losing a large number of manpower, Count Aini was unable to replenish it in time because he was out.

It can be said that there are not many people available for Earl Aini in Qingfeng City.

Especially after tonight's incident, Aini's meticulous work and eyeliner in Qingfeng City are now basically gone.

“During this period, we have been in contact too frequently.

There is nothing we can do about this. This period of time is too important. Tomorrow we will work hard to win Martell City.

As long as Martell City is taken, Xu Lai won't be able to control whether we defend or leave. "

Parame also nodded and said: "That's right, the focus is still on Martell City, and that guy Xu Lai is so trustworthy that he dares to entrust the troops to an elf who appears out of nowhere."

Aini snorted coldly and said: "Ignore him, if the guy named Xu personally leads the troops, I would be a little worried.

Since he doesn't dare to take action personally, then we can rest easy. "

Parame also nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

According to the intelligence they collected about Xu Lai, this guy has always been very courageous, and he always takes the lead.

Why would he be so confident this time to put his wealth on an elf who had never appeared in Qingfeng City before?

Coupled with the destruction of these elaborate works, Parame simply cannot sit back and relax like Aini.

"Your Excellency, how many men do you have left at Conaston Castle?"

Aini, who was already lying down on his chair, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, although I brought a lot of people out this time, only half of them are my own people.

Before we left Conaston Castle, although there were only 10,000 troops, I had already given orders to Connors of Stone Castle.

As early as a few days ago, I had received a reply that Connors had led the troops from Fort Stone and entered Fort Conaston. "

"Then there are no defenders at Stubborn Castle?"

Aini waved his hand and said: "Stone Castle was originally built to fight the orcs, and there are no production buildings in it.

And that place is the front line against the orcs. If he wants it, I can give it to him. "

Parame opened her mouth and wanted to tell Aini that the tens of thousands of people in Stone Castle and the vicinity of Stone Castle who relied on orcs were the most precious wealth.

But he saw that Aini had no idea of ​​talking, so he wisely said goodbye and left.

As expected, Ani did not stop him and allowed Parame to leave his tent.

After many days of intense attacks and fear, Aini felt physically and mentally exhausted in just a few days.

Not long after Parame left, Ani lay on the bed and fell asleep.

While Count Aini was sleeping soundly, Xu Lai summoned his own guards and angel army in his castle.

After saying goodbye to Su Ya, Xu Lai led the Paladins and Angels around Swan Lake and into the poplar forest that Xu Lai refused to cut down.

Passing through the woodland, secretly exiting the city through the gate in the military area where no one can come.

After leaving the city, Xu Lai and the others didn't even turn on the lights. They just used the faint moonlight to speed towards Kaonaston Castle.
