The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"You mean, let me hand General Reina over to you and take her back?"

"We know that it was you who rescued General Reina from the dungeon.

But Lord Xu Lai, General Reina is an elf after all, and we are willing to pay you a reward that will satisfy you."

The beautiful elf standing in front of Xu Lai bowed respectfully, revealing the snow-white and deep ravines of the beautiful elf.

However, Xu Lai, who was not short of beauties, did not get lost in the charming ravines, but said dully:

"A reward that satisfies me? Do you think I imprisoned her or enslaved her?"

The female elf shook her head and said, "Sorry, of course we don't mean that. We just want to thank you for saving our people."

Xu Lai said dissatisfiedly, "Ms. Reina has given me enough thanks. I appreciate your kindness, but it is not necessary and I will not accept it."

"Don't you want to listen to our thanks?"

The female elf still did not give up.

Xu Lai shook his head and said, "No matter how much the thank-you gift is, it's not what I want. In this case, why should I consider it?"

The female elf was indifferent to Xu Lai's words and said to herself:

"According to the default principle of this world, when one party is willing to pay the ransom, the other party shall not stop it for any reason or excuse."

Xu Lai narrowed his eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, this default rule seems to only apply to captives, right?"

The female elf nodded and said, "Yes, so our Queen is willing to pay General Lena double the ransom in gold coins and give you 100 sacred unicorns as a thank you."

The sacred unicorn is an advanced form of the unicorn beast, equivalent to the 8th level knight of humans, and is one of the most powerful warriors in the barrier camp except the fairy dragon.

The elven queen is willing to take out 100 heads at once, and it is just the beginning of the offer, and her sincerity is still sufficient.

"I heard that your fortress is fighting the undead in full swing?"

The female elf said with a sad look: "Yes, the undead invaded the Eastern Empire and us at the same time.

The death energy carried by the undead is too dangerous for life.

Wherever they go, no grass grows, and many elves have died on the battlefield.

But the most terrifying thing is not just that. We not only have to fight the undead, but also those old companions who have climbed up again.

The elves are getting fewer and fewer, but the undead are getting more and more. No matter how many times we beat the undead, their strength will only get stronger, while the elves will become weaker.

We have I can no longer bear more sacrifices, so Her Majesty the Queen begged me to take General Reina back no matter what.

Dear human lord, I know it is not fair for you to do this, and General Reina is also obliged to be loyal to you.

If you feel that this compensation is not enough to satisfy you, I and all the elf sisters in the delegation are willing to stay and serve you.

I know that General Reina is good at fighting, and her appearance is not outstanding. "

Xu Lai was subconsciously stunned, and then looked around. The number of people in the entire elf delegation was not large. In addition to more than ten guards, there were nearly 20 women of various types.

The 20 elves, each of them looks like a fairy walking out of a painting, even if they are placed in the elf clan, they should be regarded as top beauties.

The key is that they also used the word "serve" to hint at Xu Lai.

No, it should not be considered a hint. Looking at the cool outfits of all of them today, this is no longer a hint, but an explicit indication.

With such conditions, it is impossible for any man not to be tempted.

Especially Xu Lai, who is a man who is very interested in women.

Elves have long pointed ears, which are much more sensitive than humans.

The elves with their bodies drooping down can clearly feel Xu Lai's heartbeat, which is instantly erect, even if they don't use their eyes to see, but only use their ears to listen.

It's a pity that Xu Lai admits that he is lustful, but he will never admit that he is vulgar.

"Leina may not be particularly good in appearance.

But she is not a commodity, and I will not use her for any transaction.

Instead of discussing with me here, you might as well go to Leina. As long as she agrees to go back with you, I will never stop her."

The elf hesitated to speak, and she knew that Leina's will was equally important in this matter.

As long as Leina could be persuaded, she would just leave directly and then find a way to repay Xu Lai's help.

But if Leina could be persuaded, would she be willing to sacrifice her innocence and the innocence of many sisters?

The elf's originally bright eyes suddenly became obscure, and Xu Lai instantly understood what the female elf meant.

"It seems that you have already had contact with Reina before."

The elf messenger bowed his head again and said: "Sorry, we didn't get your consent, but we didn't do anything else. We just wanted to reminisce with General Reina."

Xu Lai shrugged: "Don't worry, I said that Reina is not an item to me.

She is a living person with her own friends. I will not interfere with her in this regard.

But the way you are now doesn't seem like friends."

The elf said bitterly: "We did have a little quarrel with General Reina, but we believe that as long as you are willing to let her go, General Reina will definitely return to the elves."

"Excuse me, given the current situation of your elves, it is useless for Reina to go back.

No matter how strong she is, she can only block the enemy from one direction. The combat effectiveness of the undead troops is not very strong.

They are strong because they do not need any supplies, and there is no loss of morale. They can fight indefinitely and become more and more numerous.

Fighting a protracted war with them is really the most stupid thing.

If I were an undead, if I couldn't break through on one side, wouldn't I break through from the other side?

Anyway, I have a lot of people and I am not afraid of death. I can encircle and suppress from all directions."

The elf messenger was speechless and just wanted to say something but didn't know how to refute.

"So, it's useless for you to just take Reina back. She is a human, not a god.

If you really want to defeat the undead, the first thing you should do is to cut off the undead's supply channels."

"The undead don't need to eat, what supplies do they need?"

"Of course, corpses. If the undead don't have corpses, one will die and they will be gone. Let's see if they dare to consume like this."

The elf messenger said helplessly: "It's easy to say. There are no priests in the fortress camp. We can only use holy water to preserve the bodies of important people.

But now, the demand for holy water is also very high, and we can buy even less."

"Don't you burn the bodies?" Xu Lai asked in surprise.

The elf frowned and said, "The damage caused by fire to the forest is unimaginable. The elves have been trying to prevent and control fire for thousands of years. How can we set fire in the forest ourselves?

Moreover, the creatures of the barrier attach great importance to corpses. Letting us destroy the corpses ourselves completely betrays our beliefs."

Xu Lai also said helplessly, "Are you going to let your comrades and companions become half-dead monsters?

After their death, their bodies will be used by the undead and be desecrated by the undead. Is this respect for your beliefs?"

The elf messenger was silent again.

Xu Lai shrugged helplessly and said,

"I'm really sorry. Qingfeng City can't do without Lena now. If you insist on letting me go, I can only say sorry.

But the barrier and the empire are allies, and the elves are also my friends.

No matter what, I should help you.

I can't do anything else. As for holy water, I can still support you a little."

Xu Lai had exchanged many high-level holy waters before. The healing effect of ordinary holy water is useless for people with extremely high health values ​​like them.

Ordinary soldiers were treated by priests. Low-level holy water had no special use except for distributing it to civilians and soldiers.

But holy water can not only purify evil, but also has healing uses, and its value is at least higher than that of healing potions with the same effect.

"Besides holy water, what other resources do you lack?"

The elf messenger blushed and said, "We are still short of a lot of steel. The recent war has caused a great consumption of our arrows.

In addition, we are still short of crystals. The advancement of high-level soldiers requires a lot of crystals.

In addition, healing bandages, healing potions, energy stones and various spell materials are all in short supply."

Xu Lai was speechless for a while and said, "Didn't you have any reserves before?"

The elf messenger said embarrassedly, "We were too careless before and were not fully prepared."

As immortal species, the elves are not unprepared, but their long lives have made them develop the habit of procrastination.

Even if they were not prepared at the beginning, when the hell demons and undead invaded, it would be completely in time to prepare at that time.

However, although the order of the Elf King's Court was issued, the efficiency of the elves was really not satisfactory.

When a superhero like Reina was captured, the elves did not actively rescue her, and let her be imprisoned by Moril for more than 50 years.

After Xu Lai rescued her, these guys remembered to come and ask for her. If Xu Lai had not considered the face of his allies, he really wanted to slap these people in the face.

"You make a list to see what specific things are needed. I will ask Wei Yihong to look for them in the warehouse later.

I must explain to you in advance that I also need these things, so I can only support you in part.

In addition, I don't expect you to return these things. Just consider it as my contribution to Reina and the barrier.

If there is a chance in the future, I hope we can continue to exchange what we have and open trade with each other.

Your elf leather armor, magic equipment, bows and arrows, fruit wine and the like are all very popular commodities."

The elf messenger bowed again to thank:

"Of course, before I came, Her Majesty the Queen Tell me, a lord who can train phantom shooters must be a friend of our elves.

Her Majesty the Queen is definitely willing to exchange what she has with you. If it is convenient for you, can you help us train some phantom shooters? "

Xu Lai looked at her silently, and finally said helplessly: "If there is time, it is possible, but the number will not be too large, and you have to queue up."

The elf messenger nodded and said: "This is what I should do. On behalf of all the lives in the barrier, I would like to thank you for your help, respected human lord, Mr. Xu Lai."

After sending these elves away, Xu Lai still couldn't relax, because there were still people waiting to meet him.

Behind the elf messenger were representatives sent by the Tower Mage Council.

Their purpose was also very simple, just to trade with Xu Lai, open teleportation arrays to each other, and form an alliance relationship of mutual assistance.

Thanks to the publicity of several great magicians in the tower, Xu Lai now has a little reputation in the tower, but this reputation is only spread among the top leaders.

Thanks to Xu Lai and his team, the abyss channel was cleared, so that the hell army on the tower side lost the stable rear supply.

Relatively speaking, among the three camps of light, only the tower is the most relaxed at present.

The cities occupied by hell in the tower have basically been reoccupied by the people of the tower.

And the demons who have established a foothold in the Western Empire have not yet found a way to reach out to the territory of the tower.

Therefore, the tower is just making plans for the future, which is considered to be preparing in advance.

"Of course there is no problem. I suggest that we exempt each other's caravans from taxes to promote more transactions between us."

To go to the tower, you must pass through the Northern Empire.

With the relationship between Xu Lai and the Northern Empire, most cities should be able to pass, but the journey is extremely long, and even Xu Lai's own caravan is unwilling to send it out.

In this way, the two sides will most likely use teleportation arrays and space items for transactions.

Mutual exemption of tariffs will undoubtedly greatly reduce the transportation costs of merchants and promote more transactions.

Xu Lai only proposed to exempt the other party's caravan from taxes when it was in his camp, but he did not say that the tax would still be exempted after the caravan took the money back.

In short, everyone can make money, but each of them made less money.

But if more trade can be increased because of the less money, and the quality can be improved by quantity, it will be beneficial to both parties.

There is no reason for Xu Lai not to accept such conditions.

The first mutual assistance between the two parties is that the tower will find a way to help Xu Lai connect more tower cities and help him expand the teleportation array.

And Xu Lai will provide deep-sea crystals and dragon materials for the tower's mages to study.

There is no demand from each other between the tower and the tower, but the talks are very harmonious, and various cooperation agreements are reached soon.

Xu Lai is more helpless with the elves.

But when he received the envoys of the Eastern Empire, he became more angry.

Xu Lai would never have thought that the Grand Duke of the Eastern Empire would actually send someone to persuade him to surrender.

Xu Lai didn't know what the other party was thinking. Even if Xu Lai had to surrender to one empire, he would have to choose between the Western Empire and the Northern Empire.

Xu Lai really suspected that the other party's brain was squeezed by the door to ask him to surrender to the Eastern Empire, which was 108,000 miles away.

What's more, the envoy of the Eastern Empire said that their Grand Duke was willing to confer Xu Lai as an earl.

But the price was that Xu Lai had to attack the other side with 3,000 war horses, 7,000 horses, and pack horses, a total of 10,000 horses, and every year.

In exchange, the Eastern Empire would protect Xu Lai and give him the legitimate title of earl. (End of this chapter)
