The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai could actually be faster. After all, he only needed a visit, and he was very fast.

Xu Lai had already obtained a more detailed location of the approximate locations of these outdoor buildings from the castle steward's confession.

But there was an episode in the middle, which caused him to be delayed a lot of time.

A crossbow tower in the wild was already occupied by other heroes when Xu Lai arrived.

This is not surprising, Xu Lai attacked Conaston a few days ago, and for defense, Conners had already withdrawn all the troops outside the city.

With no one around for several days and no troops to guard it, Aini's recruiting locations in the wild were naturally targeted by other heroes.

Except for the resort manor that was guarded by people before Xu Lai, almost all the other recruitment places were targeted by the heroes from the sky.

Forget it, it's a first-come, first-served matter, and Xu Lai doesn't have enough troops to seal off all the outdoor recruitment buildings.

Therefore, those who occupied the outdoor watchtowers and towers, and even rushed into the farm where Xu Lai finally went, snatched away all the trainee knights inside, but Xu Lai didn't say anything.

But there was one person in particular who went too far. Xu Lai had clearly occupied the crossbow tower in the field and planted his own flag.

However, not long after Xu Lai rushed to the next location, he used his hero ability to sense that a building he occupied had lost contact.

When he looked back, he found that the crossbow tower had been occupied by the same person again.

This made Xu Lai a little intolerable, but the person who occupied it was not there, and Xu Lai didn't know who it was just based on the occupation flag.

The flag represents the identity of the hero, or like Xu Lai, no settings were made when he was first born.

But once it is set, it cannot be changed under normal circumstances and must go through special channels.

The key is that even if the flag cannot be changed, you must first know which hero the flag corresponds to, otherwise how will you identify the hero through the flag.

Unable to find anyone, Xu Lai's anger was useless, so he had to occupy the crossbow tower again.

This crossbow tower not only has 5 crossbowmen in the tower, but also is related to the recruitment qualifications of 2 heavy crossbowmen in the city.

The most important thing is that Xu Lai is so angry.

Why did he have all the advantages, even the city, but let thieves steal the advantage?

The key is to forget about stealing once. After Xu Lai clarified the ownership, he still stole again.

That's not stealing, but provoking him.

His flag had been hung in Conaston for several days, and he couldn't believe that there were still people who didn't recognize it, especially the heroes who lived and operated nearby.

This was clearly a deliberate provocation, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.

However, although the nearby wild monsters have been cleared away, there are also several heroes who are doing tasks, running farms, and don't know what they are doing. They are just watching the excitement.

The Aini family built the castle here because there is a huge lake here.

Around this lake, the prairie people built no less than 10 villages and at least 3 or 40 manors of various kinds.

If this guy does this kind of thing secretly, he must be sure not to be discovered by Xu Lai. He probably has some means of hiding.

But after Xu Lai reoccupied the crossbowman tower, although others left with a large force, they still left an informant in place.

This eyeliner did not become invisible, but flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Elvy at this height cannot be observed with the naked eye alone, unless the hero has also learned the Eagle Eye technique and has a high enough specialization level.

Without at least master-level eagle eye skills, even if you have basic treasures such as telescopes, you will definitely not be able to see the angels in the sky.

This position is inevitably out of Xu Lai's control, so Xu Lai can only let Elvi, who has the ability to act independently, be in charge.

Fortunately, the guy didn't dare to meet Xu Lai and fled far away immediately after occupying the crossbowman tower, so he was not discovered, but was caught by Elwee.

Using the magic message stone, Elvi has been reporting her whereabouts to Xu Lai.

And as long as the position of this guy can be locked, no matter how fast this guy runs, it is impossible to catch up with Xu Lai's speed.

This guy was also very courageous. He didn't run far at all and just hid in a nearby town to watch the show.

Even when Xu Lai and his troops broke into the town that originally belonged to Aini, he could still talk to other heroes there with a calm face.

Facing Xu Lai's intrusion, the first person who was anxious was not the hero who secretly occupied Xu Lai's crossbow tower, but the mayor appointed by Aini who hurried over with the town's guards.

The scene of Xu Lai's siege on the manor scared these people half to death, fearing that it would be their turn sometime.

Before Xu Lai handed over Conaston to Jimmy, he sent official letters to all the towns belonging to Aini through the secretaries of the city hall.

The content of the official letter was very simple, urging them to surrender to the new lord. As long as they expressed their loyalty, Xu Lai was willing to let things go by the wayside.

But unfortunately, Xu Lai did not receive any surrender letter until Jimmy took over, took back a large number of farms just outside Conaston, and appointed new manor owners.

The Aini family has ruled this place for nearly a thousand years, and the people around them have long been accustomed to it, and even have a deep-rooted belief that this land belongs to the Aini family.

The nearby manor owners, village chiefs, and town chiefs are all related to the Aini family. Many of them are even from the Aini family, but they are just side branches.

They were afraid that because of their identity, they would be hated by Xu Lai.

Secondly, I think Aini will fight back sooner or later, and I don't believe that an unknown guy can really occupy Conaston.

This kind of understanding cannot be broken in a day.

Although Xu Lai's angel guards and Jimmy's elite knights seemed to be elite enough, after all, their numbers were just over a hundred in total.

Although Aini mobilized soldiers, the militiamen and escorts in the towns still disdained to mobilize soldiers.

Connors didn't mind it, but he didn't have the time or the qualifications.

Even in relatively remote towns like Wang Chao, hundreds of spearmen and shooters can be mobilized. Counting the upgraded militiamen in these towns, hundreds of people can be mobilized at once.

Plus the mayor's own helpers, the town's security team, and the so-called heroes they hired temporarily.

Just like Luo Mingru, many heroes develop in a certain town. Only when they have enough favorability here can they receive higher-level and better tasks.

If their favorability is high enough, they can also be recommended to work for Aini.

In their opinion, although Xu Lai, who has a lot of reputation, is much stronger than those heroes, they may be able to fight Xu Lai through their numerical advantage.

"Please leave immediately, we will not accept anyone other than Count Aini to rule Konis Town!"

The mayor drove Xu Lai away in a stern tone, and the militiamen who were temporarily entangled by him also raised their spears high and moved towards Xu Lai timidly.

Xu Lai stared at the mayor and said, "Are you really going to resist me?

And you, if you put down your weapons now, I can put the blame behind you and help you re-plan the land so that each of you has your own land.

But if you still point weapons at me, I can only regard you all as my enemies. "

Xu Lai was a very kind person before he came. If he had just come to this world, he would have felt sympathy for these farmers and would probably not have the heart to hurt them.

But at this time, he did not say that his heart was as hard as iron, but he also knew that sometimes the sacrifice of a few people was to make more people recognize the reality.

After hearing that Xu Lai not only let things go, he even expressed his intention to re-plan the land so that each of them could have their own land.

You know, although the manors and villages outside Conaston are safer, the land here basically belongs to the Aini family.

Even if not at the beginning, after hundreds of years of accumulation, only a few merchants and knights will be able to own their own land.

The militiamen were confused and didn't know whether to believe Xu Lai or not.

However, the mayor is very clear-headed. He is second only to Aini in terms of profit in this town. He must have a share of the land that Xu Lai wants to divide.

"Come on, drive out the intruders!"

The recruited soldiers did not hesitate. The spearmen rushed forward with their spears, and the trainee archers drew their bows and arrows.

Xu Lai allowed them to attack first. In the light of prayer falling from the sky, the soft arrows of the trainee archers were unable to even break the skin of the knights' crotch mounts.

At the same time, he waved his hand to stop the others from wanting to fight back.

His eyes were fixed on the two people behind the mayor who he called to cheer and had high hopes for.

Under Xu Lai's gaze, the two of them swallowed hard, but they couldn't speak out the attack instructions no matter what.

The two of them had performed many missions in Conaston and Conis Town. Thanks to the goodwill they gained, whenever wild monsters appeared near Conis Town, the mayor would ask them to clean them up.

The two of them worked well together, one led the infantry and spearmen, the other led the archers, and both were priests. They also bought two priests at a high price and promoted them to generals.

From this, the two formed a combination of fighting, shooting and animal husbandry. There were almost no casualties when clearing the wild monsters, and they also recruited some soldiers from Konis Town based on their accumulated merits.

It's a pity that they don't dare to leave this place. They only rely on a few wild monsters at the beginning of each month and the experience gained from completing various errands and coolie tasks. The average level does not exceed level 10.

They have been in this world for less than a year and are close to level 10. They may still consider themselves to be very hard-working people.

But when the heroes on the opposite side had already led the knights and angels to occupy the city of Count Ani, whom they thought was superior, how could they dare to take action?

As descendants, they are not as arrogant as those ignorant natives.

But in fact, is the mayor really arrogant? As natives who have lived in this land since childhood, they understand better than anyone how terrifying a warrior of Angel's level is.

He was just forced to do this and fight to the death.

Seeing that the two people really had no intention of taking action, Xu Lai put down the arm that he had been blocking.

As soon as he lowered his arms, the few knights brought by Xu Lai roared and rushed out on horseback.

They didn't dare to charge, and there were no spearmen to support them. Their damage and life were not high, so they didn't need to charge to die with others.

Most of the knights stayed at the two cavalry manors, and Xu Lai was followed by only dozens of knights who were fighting.

However, even these knights with an average level of 5, with the addition of good equipment and Xu Lai's terrifying attributes, can kill these recruited soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Lai and his angels did not take action at all.

The knights recruited ten times more soldiers, but they only lasted less than 5 minutes. In the end, morale collapsed, and the remaining dozen shooters fled out of the town.

After these shooters escape, they will inevitably become wild monsters one day later.

Therefore, with a wink, Xu Lai signaled the knight captain to follow him and eliminate the root cause, so as not to leave any hidden dangers to the civilians in the town.

As for the mayor who dared to resist, he was shot to the ground by the cavalry captain, and his death was horrific.

The militiamen who had held their spears before were already trembling with fear, including the two heroes who did not dare to take action, and the guy who had to be chased by Xu Lai.

Perhaps, after seeing dozens of level 4 and 5 knights sweep through hundreds of level 3 spearmen and hundreds of trainee archers, that guy no longer dared to compete with Xu Lai for the crossbow tower.

But Xu Lai felt that he must ask clearly.

"So, are you planning to become my enemy?"

The two heroes shook their heads like rattles, and one of them said: "Brother, please spare us. Before we came here, we didn't even know that the old bastard asked us to deal with you."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Lai smiled and cursed at the two of them: "Go away, it's not you two."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly wanted to run away, but Xu Lai said again:

"Wait!"

"Brother, you, do you have anything else to give me?"

Xu Laishi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Xu Lai followed: "You two should discuss it among yourselves. One will be the mayor and the other will be the security captain.

During this time, I was responsible for doing two things for me. "

The two of them never dreamed that such a good thing would happen to them after being roped in by the mayor to help.

"Brother, tell me, we brothers will handle it properly for you."

Xu Lai said with a smile: "First, I will leave this matter to you regarding the land allocation I just mentioned. All the residents who belong to your town will allocate land to me on a per-capita basis for each household.

I believe you should know how much land a population can cultivate after such a long time. If you have any questions, go to the city and ask the current city lord Jimmy Martell.

Second, you are responsible for collecting taxes for me. I don’t care what you plant. Anyway, 30% of the income from each field belongs to me. You are responsible for helping me count and settle the income on a monthly basis.

What I want to remind you is that only 30% of each piece of land is allowed to be expropriated. Otherwise, the harvest from the land cannot be expropriated for any reason.

And you can go to the city hall to receive a monthly remuneration, and each of you will receive a 1% tax rate from the town's commercial tax.

At the same time, the recruitment building quota in this town will be divided equally between the two of you.

However, I need you to recruit all the soldiers in my towns and field buildings for me every month and send them to the city. "

"No problem, don't worry!"

Of course Xu Lai can't trust two strangers, but it doesn't matter who they are, Xu Lai has no one to use now anyway.

Moreover, the city was handed over to Aini, so outside the city, Xu Lai certainly could not continue to hand it over to him.

Xu Lai just announced this in a loud voice, and the villagers and townspeople who heard the news burst into joy.

The militiamen who had been holding weapons just now dropped their weapons one after another. They knelt down in front of Xu Lai with runny noses and tears, and muttered various words of gratitude.

And the guy who was targeted by Xu Lai from the beginning planned to take advantage of this opportunity and sneak away quietly.

"Do I allow you to go?"

However, just as he quietly retreated, Xu Lai's cold and deadly voice sounded behind him. (End of chapter)
