The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After communicating with Xu Lai, the teleportation array connecting Conaston to Martell City was reopened.

This day in Conaston was definitely the most painful day for Xu Lai since he came to this world.

He brought only a few free people with him. Now everyone has his own business, and he is the only one who is forced to receive all kinds of "characters" in Conaston.

Xu Lai is not a person who likes to socialize, especially staying with a group of people he doesn't like but has to communicate with or comfort.

These people include the municipal officials of Kaunaston, the president of the Chamber of Commerce who has settled in Kaunaston for a long time, and the so-called gentry class who have a certain influence in Kaunaston.

In fact, they are the so-called lords, presidents of certain associations, big businessmen and the like.

Except for the president of the Mercenary Association and the president of the Magician Association, the rest of these people are not important to Xu Lai.

Elena helped Xu Laiqu take over the temple's cathedral. She knew that this action was inconsistent with the temple's purpose.

Because they don't have mana, they can't cast spells.

But it seems that the higher-ups of the temple acquiesced to the existing situation and did not issue any instructions.

If they still refused to obey the rules, they would simply kill them too. After occupying Conaston, no blood was shed at all. Even Xu Lai, a person who didn't really want to do evil, felt that something was missing.

Firstly, Xu Lai does not have so many reliable manpower, and secondly, the villagers and townspeople do not dare to offend these people.

Although the ownership of these recruited soldiers belongs to Xu Lai, those soldiers are loyal to Jimmy.

Their trust is justified to a certain extent.

Despite their young age, their etiquette, manners in dealing with others, and propriety in doing things were far beyond those of civilians like Joseph.

Moreover, although Xu Lai gave Joseph such rights, it did not mean that he could kill people at will. There must be a reason.

It's just that he is the only one in the whole world who cares about the lives of ordinary people, which is undoubtedly something that makes Xu Lai very unhappy.

The reason is also very simple. As Jimmy's eldest son, Jilong has always been trained as a successor.

Therefore, at this moment, Xu Lai, who had backup, even couldn't wait to see someone jump out.

These people were all brought back from the grasslands by Xu Lai, and everything from equipment to advancement was handled by Xu Lai.

The disobedient one before had been thrown away and was still an archbishop.

[Knight's Sword]: The flag, one of the three royal flags of the empire (the other two are the claws of the griffon and the shield of the infantry), was given to the ancestors of the Aini family by the first High King Aled.

At least he doesn't have to worry about not being able to appease those people. If he can't appease those people with kind words, the worst he can do is kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

It can be said that these people are Xu Lai's absolute confidants, and they are the people most worthy of Xu Lai's trust besides Tahan and other recruitment captains.

Of course, corpses cannot be used, but here Xu has more than a hundred real angels and more than a hundred paper angels.

Even though these troops are only recruiting soldiers, they firmly believe that heroes who are allowed to recruit angels and paladins will never do such a thing.

And behind Elena, there is Xu Lai supporting her.

"Hello, hello." Xu Lai smiled and nodded to them.

Xu Laike never thought that he had a big belly. There was really no other way at the moment, and it was also to maintain the stability of Conaston.

Including the number of permanent residents, floating population, registered taxpayer population, military personnel, etc.

It is even more impossible to collect taxes separately from these people.

"Meet the lord."

If those city guards who surrendered were disobedient, they would be killed no matter how many of them were killed, and they would be dealt with on the spot.

Although Jiron and the others are just trainee knights, to be honest, they are more useful than rangers like Joseph.

Many things can be handled better by them than by Xu Lai himself.

After seeing Xu Lai's powerful strength, Jimmy really wanted to hug Xu Lai's thigh.

Tahan did not come alone this time. He brought the helpers Xu Lai wanted.

It harms oneself, harms the farmers, and enriches these moths.

The arrival of Tahan and the others was a great help to Xu Lai.

In addition to the population, there are also how many important municipal officials there are, how many administrative departments there are, and what matters they are responsible for, which ones are necessary, which ones are not necessary, and which ones can be ignored temporarily.

Even their families, housing, etc., as long as Xu Lai can help, he will help.

Joseph took a team of rangers and a team of knights, a total of more than 20 high-level warriors, to take over the city's security team.

Basic attributes: Increase the basic morale of the imperial camp troops by +5. When the flag is still flying, the morale of all knights will be an additional +15.

This means that even if someone builds a church that can recruit priests or priests, as long as the God of War takes back the rights, this person will still be unable to recruit.

In order not to injure others, she only brought a few assistants whom she knew well.

According to Xu Lai, living people are more important than recruiting soldiers, so he wants to give priority to resurrecting Jimmy's soldiers.

Compared with the municipal officials of Conaston City, these priests have more trust from the people.

If these civilians make trouble, Xu Laike will have a headache. After all, they are just civilians and not rebels. It is not that they can be killed casually.

They are all priests who have been deeply influenced by the temple for decades. Which priest would believe that the angel troops and paladin troops entering the city are a group of people who will massacre civilians.

People without authority cannot recruit these troops.

Xu Lai gave Joseph great power, including the power of life and death.

This guy actually captured Aini's battle flag.

To stabilize people's hearts, the most important thing is to stabilize prices. As long as sufficient food supply can be ensured, ordinary people will decide who is in charge of your city.

The promises and guarantees made by these pastors are not stressful. They even believe in this view more firmly than ordinary civilians.

But whether it is important or not, Xu Lai cannot treat them differently, they must all be treated equally.

Although Xu Lai didn't want to admit it, it was the fact.

Only this group of people had the right to speak. Even if Xu Lai wanted to enact some measures to benefit the people, he still needed them to convey and implement them.

Xu Lai came to rule Conaston, not to destroy it, so the most important task at this stage was to appease the people.

Almost everywhere Xu came, there were surrenders kneeling on the ground.

With the strong guarantees and promises of these priests, most citizens were willing to believe that the army entering the city had no malicious intentions and would neither harm them nor embezzle their personal property.

The officials left here will be handed over to Jilong and others.

They are just a group of ordinary people, not like Xu Lai, who has an army on their side.

Fortunately, they are not just three people. In addition to the three of them, Jimmy also arranged a lot of servants, assistants and the like.

But Jilong told Xu Lai that Jimmy had promised Reina to give priority to the heavy shield infantry and heavy armored spearmen who died in battle.

What's more, they also brought a large number of corpses.

Maybe those who arranged spies, assassins and other intelligence agents or killers to come to Qingfeng City were from these people.

If there was a riot, more people would die, which would go against Xu Lai's original intention.

The three leading young men dressed as knights are all named Martell. Except for the middle one named Gilon Martell, who is Jimmy's eldest son, the other two are Jimmy's nephews.

But Xu Lai always felt awkward when giving priority to resurrecting a group of machines without complete souls, and instead giving up some living lives.

So, after Elena took over the church, she led dozens of pastors in the church to go around to appease the people.

Otherwise, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of illiterate people in Conaston and nearby towns.

And no matter how generous Xu Lai's treatment was to the farmers, as long as these village heads and town heads raised more taxes, all the policies he arranged would become a joke.

How dare the remaining priests or priests disobey Elena's orders unless the temple's senior officials give a clear answer.

Therefore, they now have to keep an eye on those businessmen, which is a very heavy task.

King of Knights rewards: All knight troops, attack +25, defense +25, life +25 (non-basic life, do not enjoy the sacred blood bottle bonus).

Xu Lai doesn't want to use any of these people, but he has no choice now, so he can only use them for the time being.

Jimmy believed that after this battle, many other nobles would want to join Xu Lai.

Although he was the first to take refuge, he did not make any contribution to Xu Lai. Instead, Xu Lai sent troops to rescue him.

But he still had to get a group of his own people over, and he also had to take care of them.

There weren't many people, and most of them were shot to death by armor-piercing crossbowmen. Except for a bunch of arrows in their bodies, the bodies were all intact.

Without resistance, no one would discover these paper angels.

On the surface, such authority is controlled by the temple, but in fact, it is one of the divine rights of the God of War. After all, it is his priests who are recruited.

Special attributes: The attack speed and movement speed of all troops are increased by 10%, and the attack speed and movement speed of all knights are increased by an additional 10%.

It's hard to say about Yunzhong City, but the priests and paladins are not just recruiting troops, they can also be regarded as authorized troops.

There is currently no way to recruit Paladins, and only those with authority can train them on their own.

There are more than a hundred angels, many of them are ninth-level seraphs. In addition, after twelve o'clock, they can cast spells again, which can attract hundreds of people at least.

However, Ji Long knelt in front of Xu Lai and refused to give priority to resurrecting his own family, even preferring to burn all his own corpses with a fire.

The key is that Xu Lai himself did not ask him to send someone over. It was Jimmy who took the initiative to send it over.

Roland, Xu Lai's personal guard knight commander, was responsible for temporarily controlling these surrendered soldiers.

Even if Xu Lai's official documents and orders were conveyed, no one could understand them, and the power of interpretation rested with the mayors and village chiefs of each township.

Most of Joseph and the rangers under his command were brought over by Tahan.

Xu Lai had made a promise to him at the beginning, but Xu Lai had nothing at the time. Now Xu Lai is about to become the new ruler of the grassland.

In fact, after coming to this world and getting a new body, Xu Lai became obviously much younger.

The original person in charge of the cathedral has been thrown into the teleportation array by Xu Lai. Xu Lai doesn't know where this guy has been. Anyway, he is no longer in Conaston.

It is also because of the presence of these priests that there has not been any big commotion in Conaston yet.

Thanks to Xu Lai's temporary moderate policy, after Conaston's defenders retreated to the castle, Xu Lai encountered no resistance in the city.

After all, his nephews are all with Xu Lai. If something goes wrong on Jimmy's side, these three people will have no place to go in the first place.

Fortunately, Tahan helped Xu Lai get rid of this worry in time.

Otherwise, Xu Lai would be awkward. Apart from some robot-like Holy Light Knights, he has no one of his own around him, and has no sense of security at all.

Of course, it's not that he has to kill someone or anything, but that heavy punishments are used in troubled times. At this time, the heavier the punishment, the more it can deter people, and the more it can control others from causing trouble.

And in addition to them, Tahan also brought other foreign aid, the nephews of Jimmy Martell's family.

Of course he knew that both Lena and Jimmy were thinking about him, so he shouldn't blame anyone.

With them here, Xu Lai felt a lot more confident.

Tens of thousands of defenders, who had the advantage of the city wall, were beaten and retreated back to the castle. What was left were some low-class city guards and mercenaries who were paid to work. Who would risk their lives without giving up their wealth?

After getting to know each other, Xu Lai asked them to send the body to Elvi. He also happened to stop by to preside over the resurrection ceremony.

After sending all his nephews here, it seems that Jimmy has made up his mind to follow Xu Lai.

Moreover, they have a wide range of people. In the city of Conaston, there are many more people who know them than those who know Xu Lai.

After entering the city, Xu Lai hasn't killed many people yet. If he doesn't kill people, how can he establish his authority?

His appearance may not have changed much, but his body should be at its peak. If his bone age were measured, he might be only 18 years old.

The change of status will inevitably bring about the inequality of status and status.

But Jimmy is already loyal to him, will he even care about this little thing?

Unfortunately, these mirror angels and paladins can only inherit attack power and characteristics.

As a large city with more than 100,000 households and a fixed population of hundreds of thousands, the people responsible for public security in Conaston are not the security team, but the city guard. There is no full-time security department here at all.

If any municipal officials come forward to stop you, no matter what the reason, they will be detained first.

It would be stupid if Jimmy clung to Xu Lai's previous promise.

Xu Lai had no choice but to agree.

The three of them are responsible for sorting out the situation in Conaston City in the shortest possible time.

Now, Elena is the highest-ranking bishop. When the temple does not issue clear instructions and the priests of Conaston Church are not allowed to obey Elena's orders, Elena is the highest person in charge.

They could not pacify the people of the city with just a few priests, so they had no choice but to take over the cathedral first.

Xu Lai originally thought that the pioneer flag given to him by Aini was good enough.

But the Pioneer Flag is completely incomparable to the captured King Behemoth Flag and the Sea King Flag given by Princess Naga.

But it wasn't until he saw this royal flag representing the empire that Xu Lai realized that the pioneer flag was just garbage.

Only by raising such a flag can humans drive the arrogant orcs into the wilderness. (End of chapter)
