The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, good news."

Aini was in the newly built count's castle, with a depressed look on his face, and poured bottles of valuable red wine into his stomach like water.

Others are celebrating the New Year happily, but he can't even have a reunion dinner here.

Except for a few sons whom he valued more and a lover who escaped on vacation at the manor, the rest of his immediate family members were all captured by his enemies.

When his wife, daughter and lover fall into the hands of the enemy, Aini can imagine what will happen to them.

Anyway, if a woman who has a relationship with Xu Lai falls into his hands, he will definitely make the other party live without wishing for death, and inflict all the terrible punishments in this world on them.

Using oneself to judge others, Aini could already imagine the kind of bullying his wife and daughter would suffer.

If this spreads out, their family's hundreds of years of honor will be completely destroyed in his hands.

In the past two or three months, he had not heard any good news at all.

All his allies deserted him, not a single soldier was sent, and people continued to surrender to the traitor.

Even if no one has surrendered yet, it is not because they want to be loyal to him, Aini, but because the conditions have not been agreed upon.

Of course, he would not think that this was the reason why he ran away from the battlefield and betrayed other nobles first.

Not to mention that this was the reason why he made a deal with the orcs and betrayed the grassland first. Anyway, those heroes descended from the sky are not grassland people.

Due to the hero's strong physique, this high-alcohol red wine could not make him completely drunk, or even just make him temporarily forget his troubles.

"What good news?"

Aini, who was lying on the wine table and no longer bothered to care about his status as an earl, said in a low voice.

The attendant who rushed through the door turned a blind eye to the mess in the room and said excitedly: "Mage Palame sent news that the stronghold has agreed to cooperate with us.

They promised to help send troops to conquer the boy named Xu. We only need to provide them with food, grass and supplies, without sending a single soldier. "

Aini narrowed his misty eyes and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Has the orc changed his gender?"

The attendant coughed and said, "They said that half of the grassland would be divided up afterwards, and the papers would be left behind."

Aini thought for a while and said: "They want to use documents to contain me and create established facts.

But so what? I will no longer be the master of the grassland soon. Instead of taking advantage of those traitors, I would rather give it to those orcs.

Half of the grassland, huh, I'm afraid it's just used to paralyze us. Will the orcs be willing to send out a large army just for half of the grassland?

Go and reply to Palame immediately, saying that I don't agree with this agreement.

I want to give the entire grassland to the orcs, but please ask His Majesty the Beast King to leave my family's three castles to me.

In addition, my eldest son Jerry has inherited my talent and is willing to pioneer for His Majesty the Beast King! "

"Uncle, Your Excellency, you gave the entire grassland to the orcs. If the temple knows about it, we, we may not be able to survive."

Aini snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, will those guys in the temple let us go if we give half of the grassland to the orcs?

No, it won't. We have no way out now and no way out.

Those guys in the temple, huh, they have no time to take care of themselves now, so how can they have time to take care of us.

If they had this ability, they wouldn't let the man named Xu steal my Kaunaston Castle! "

The more Ani talked, the angrier he became, and by the time he got to the back, he was even leaning half of his body on the table.

After shaking his head twice, Aini tried to wake himself up, and then asked:

"Did the Master say anything else?"

The attendant licked his lips and said: "The Master only asked us to send a few more copies of the most detailed map of the grassland.

In addition, the mage also asked us to raise food and grass in advance. According to his estimation, the orcs should be able to send troops within one to two months. "

"So fast?" Aini asked subconsciously.

The attendant glanced at Aini, lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency, you are already unhappy. If you wait any longer, the entire city on the grassland will be taken over by the group of people named Xu.

In order to get the orcs to gather quickly and set off quickly, the mage kept his mouth shut. "

Aini waved his hand weakly and said: "I understand. You can go to the warehouse later to find some latest maps and send someone to deliver them to the mage."

After driving away the waiter, Ani slumped down on the chair, breathing heavily.

Aini sounds nice, but in her heart she understands it better than anyone else.

If the orcs were so easy to talk to, they wouldn't have been driven to the Gobi Desert in the first place.

Orcs have always been synonymous with barbarism. If their promises can be counted, Aini would rather believe that wolves will no longer eat sheep and eat grass instead.

But there was no way, if he didn't rely on the words of these orcs, he wouldn't even have a final burial place.

Just as he would not let Xu Lai go, Xu Lai would definitely not let go of him, a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

As long as Aini stays in the grassland for a day, Xu Lai will never be able to legitimately control the grassland.

Therefore, if he did not collude with the orcs, he would have no chance of survival.

And although he definitely didn't believe that the orcs would be willing to take only half of the grassland, after all, he had surrendered. At worst, he didn't want anything but a city, so there was still hope of saving his life.

The orcs also have to pretend, otherwise who will believe them and surrender to them when they occupy other imperial cities in the future.

The orcs are barbaric, not brainless, not to mention that he even sent his eldest son, the heir, to the other side, which obviously means a hostage.

Although he has a high probability of survival if he surrenders to the orcs.

But when he thinks that his ancestral foundation will be handed over to those barbaric orcs from now on, Aini's heart hurts badly.

But now that things have come to this, he has no way out. At least he can survive by surrendering to the orcs, and maybe he can keep his current wealth.

If he doesn't do this, his subordinates will see no hope, and maybe one day they will secretly cut off his head and give it to the Xu.

After catching his breath, Aini, with red eyes, took up a bottle of precious red wine again as if in revenge and swirled it into his stomach.

"It's bad, it's bad, Your Excellency, it's bad!"

"Puff..."

"Cough, cough, cough, you bastard, do you want to choke me to death?"

The waiter who had just gone out for a short time came back with a sad face after he put a bottle of red wine into his mouth.

This attendant was quite favored by Aini. Even though he was so impetuous, Aini did not punish him too much. He just asked unhappily:

"What happened again? Did the orc lion open his mouth?

I have expected it. If it really doesn't work, I will give the other two castles to them and I will keep this one."

The attendant shook his head and said, "No, no, Your Excellency, it's, it's..."

"What is it? It can't be that the guy surnamed Xu is coming, right?"

The attendant knelt down in front of Aini and said, "Your Excellency, please think of a solution.

The latest scout report shows that the guy surnamed Xu has led the army 30 miles away."

Aini, who had just stood up in anger, felt dizzy when he heard the news, and the alcohol accumulated in his head surged up.

Aini slumped down on the chair again, but this time he couldn't even maintain basic manners and collapsed directly in front of the attendant.

"Count, Count?"

After the city was broken, Count Aini would not be able to escape, but their close friends would not have a good ending.

Otherwise, why would he run around for collusion with the orcs, which was destined to be criticized by all humans.

Under the shaking of the attendant, Aini finally sobered up a little.

He murmured to himself: "Didn't I order the scouts to be sent 100 miles away?"

The attendant said aggrievedly: "Those people in the cavalry regiment are all disobedient.

Except for Master Jerry who would lead people out of the city for patrol, those cavalry commanders ran away to who knows where once they left the city."

Aini opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He actually knew about this situation a long time ago.

Since more and more nobles defected to Xu Lai, and more and more grassland cities were occupied by Xu Lai, Aini became more desperate and helpless.

And the more Aini did nothing, the more disappointed his subordinates were.

Even the boss hides and drinks every day, what hope can the subordinates have? They should just follow suit and find a place to hide and live a good life for a few days.

Anyway, when Xu Lai came, they turned around and surrendered. Do they have to give their lives to that useless earl?

Now of course, they can just live for a few days.

Aini, slumped in the chair, murmured:

"It's too late to gather the troops of the two cities now. Order all the knights to retreat to the city. I will fight him."

Through market acquisitions and looting of nearby towns, Aini has accumulated some strength in the past few months.

In addition to the guards who stayed in the castle before, agitating some militias, and temporarily recruiting some mercenaries, they can at least gather tens of thousands of troops.

After the attendant responded, he hurried to convey Aini's order.

At this time, Xu Lai, who always led the troops to advance quickly, was now uncomfortable and wanted to die.

The royal warhorse under his crotch seemed to be taking a leisurely walk. He could stop after walking a few steps and chew the fertile grass on the grassland.

Even though the weather in mid-January was still as cold as usual, the grass in the magic world did not follow any natural laws and continued to grow tenaciously.

Even though it was carrying two people, as an 8th-level warhorse, the royal warhorse did not feel tired at all.

Elena, who was standing by, saw Xu Lai's helplessness and apologized embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Xu Lai, although riding is a compulsory course in the temple, we still practice too little, and I'm a burden to you."

He tightened Giselle in his arms. After giving the unicorn to Lena, this guy sat in Xu Lai's arms with peace of mind when he went out this time.

"Don't talk nonsense, you are doing this to help me, what do you mean by burden or not.

If you want to be a burden, it's me who will be a burden to you.

Besides, you can still ride horses after all, and it's not you who are delayed."

Elena knew her own business, although they were all riding horses.

But firstly, the horses on the grassland are of a higher level, and the priests have not received much riding training, so it is difficult for them to control these high-level horses.

Secondly, although most of the mages, phantom archers, and even mercenaries walked, they were not lazy at all and were actually not slower than them.

Just as Xu Lai and his men were approaching Aini's castle slowly, Elvy, who was in charge of reconnaissance in the sky, landed on the ground and said to Xu Lai:

"Xu Lai, I found a small group of Aini's knights ahead. Do you want to capture them and ask them?"

Xu Lai nodded and said: "There is nothing to do if you are idle, so let's catch it and ask."

Elvi's movements were surprisingly fast.

After ordering the archangels to wait where they were, they roared twice, and in less than a minute, they rushed back with one in each hand.

After throwing these two brightly armored knights in front of Xu Lai, Elwe frowned and said: "I can only bring these two back, and the others don't have any.

But they all said they wanted to surrender, so I asked them to wait where they were without killing them. "

Xu Lai is willing to maintain or even condone their kindness in trivial matters.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you pretend to surrender. If they run away, it will be their own loss."

After saying that, Xu Laicai looked at the two knights thrown in front of him. At this sight, Xu Lai laughed out loud and said:

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the count's family?"

Xu Lai actually recognized these two knights. He had met them twice at banquets hosted by Aini.

One is Aini's heir, the 24-year-old 6th-level knight Jerry, and the other is his retinue, also in his 20s, both of whom are extremely good knights.

As Aini's heir, Jerry also inherited Aini's cavalry talent. When leading 4th, 5th, and 6th level cavalry in battle, Jerry gained more offensive and defensive attributes and speed.

Originally, this young man should be an excellent cavalry commander, because even his father only inherited 4th and 5th level cavalry.

But unfortunately, his father stood on the opposite side of Xu Lai.

Jerry raised his head and turned his head arrogantly:

"If you want to kill or scrape, please do as you wish."

After all, he was a young man. Jerry stiffened his neck and refused to even bend his waist slightly, not to mention a soft word.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lai was a little happy and a little reluctant to kill.

At this time, he finally understood the mood of some of the protagonists in the book. When they encountered such tough characters, they really wanted to use them for their own purposes and were reluctant to kill them.

"You're quite brave, so I won't talk nonsense. I just want to ask you, will you surrender?"

Jerry is a very conceited knight. If he hadn't relied on his good abilities and talents to make him faster and stronger than ordinary knights, he wouldn't have been so bold as to spy on Xu Lai along the way.

If he had just discovered Xu Lai, he would have turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Less than 15 kilometers away from her home city, Elvi still has to worry about Xu Lai's safety, so she may not let go and chase him.

But this boy looked down on Xu Lai a little too much, and was also a little too conceited.

He didn't expect that he was no match for the other angel.

What's more, he didn't expect that the knights under his command, who were usually very obedient, would not only show no help at all when the angel came, but would immediately turn against him.

"I won't surrender even if I die!"

Xu Lai nodded and said: "Then I'll send you on your way!" (End of Chapter)
