The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

The reason why Xu Lai had to rush to Qingfeng City overnight was because he received news from Su Ya that the patrolling knights had found traces of wolf riders at the border of Qingfeng City.

Kenlo Hag's wolf riders numbered tens of thousands, and he only brought 6,000 with him. The rest of the wolf riders must have been divided into several groups.

However, Kenlo Hag led the most elite frost wolf riders, while the other wolf riders were either relatively low-level or led by heroes of average strength.

The grassland had experienced several major wars, and Xu Lai did not have many cavalry that could be mobilized, so he could only choose one group for the roundup.

If he could only choose one, he would naturally choose Kenlo Hag, who was the most threatening and had the highest combat effectiveness.

Looking at Xu Lai's receding back, Jimmy glared at the cavalry captains who knelt on the ground in a row.

The 3,000 wolf riders fled from his direction, making him, the commander, lose face in front of Xu Lai.

"Don't worry, father. The Lord will not blame you for such a small matter.

The Lord deliberately kept me here so that I could stay here to comfort you."

Jimmy sighed and said, "Lord Xu Lai has always been generous. How could I not know that he would not punish me for this?

But if I didn't do this well, would they not doubt my ability?

After having this impression, they will not give me difficult tasks in the future.

Without tasks, there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds. Although our Martell family is now prosperous, it will be surpassed sooner or later.

As a father, I have already been determined. I will probably be a city lord in the future. Lord Xu Lai can only take a few steps forward. I may be able to get a higher title.

But whether our family can reach the top depends on you in the future."

Patting Jilong on the shoulder, Jimmy Martell said earnestly.

Jilong swallowed silently, bit his lip and said, "But in my opinion, the lord doesn't seem to have much ambition.

He has no interest in either the Western Empire or the Northern Empire.

Even if we don't want to be hostile to the Northern Empire now, in the Western Empire, in addition to the land in the center being occupied by Hell, there are at least dozens of towns on the edge that are currently ownerless."

After thinking for a while, Jimmy pondered and said, "Those dozens of towns, my father has also inquired about them, and the places bordering us have all been taken over by those heroes who fell from the sky.

You should have been able to feel the speed of the development of the heroes who fell from the sky during this period.

As long as they are given a chance, with their huge expertise advantage, they can easily defeat enemies that are several times their number.

I think, Mr. Xu Lai, Maybe they just want to keep them as a barrier to resist the invasion of hell.

Besides, we are still in internal and external troubles. Those advent heroes occupy these cities, and no one will be willing to hand them over obediently.

At this time, it would be good if these guys don't come to trouble us.

However, you are right. Generally speaking, our lord is still a little lacking in ambition.

When appropriate, we can give some suggestions to Lord Xu Lai.

However, you must not act on your own. Remember at any time that we can only make suggestions, not give opinions.

Lord Xu Lai is relatively loyal. We father and son work for him. As long as we don't make any big mistakes and don't offend his taboos, we won't be too bad.

You must not confuse the primary and the secondary. Know your own identity. "

Jilong smiled and said, "Don't worry, father, I still have this little bit, and I will never do anything rash."

Jimmy nodded and said, "There is another thing you need to pay attention to. You are now working for Lord Xu Lai.

Those previous relationships should be let go, and those who have had grudges should be reconciled.

You have to figure out why Lord Xu Lai wants to keep you by his side.

He has no one to use now, so those old-time nobles who can be used before should be used.

You must not make any mistakes at this time, and don't be blinded by the small favors, small grudges and small grudges in front of you. "

Jilong was shocked and bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, father, I am not a person who has not seen it.

I know what kind of things are long-term, and I will be careful. "

Jimmy patted Jilong on the shoulder and said again: "Although Lord Xu Lai gave you a few days off, you can't really take it as a holiday.

At the beginning, the situation was urgent, and Lord Xu Lai appointed many officials, most of whom were recommended by my father.

At that time, I was careful and sent special spies to each official recommended by my father.

Now the intelligence they have sent back has filled several bookcases.

You combine the military reports during this period and the reports they have sent back, compile them into a book, and report to Lord Xu Lai.

Recently, the wolf riders have been rampant, and the orders issued by Lord Xu Lai have not been executed properly.

There are many problems that you don't need to hide for your father.

Time is short, and the people I can recommend are limited. I can only hear about their character and so on.

There must be some who are not worthy of the name. I have also informed Lord Xu Lai in advance, and he will not doubt my father's intentions because of this.

Even if my father must be held responsible, it will not be a big sin.

On the contrary, if you deliberately conceal it for me at this time, it will be difficult for you to stay by Mr. Xu Lai's side in the future."

Jimmy thought very clearly. He was the first noble to surrender to Xu Lai, and he made great contributions to Xu Lai's unification of the grassland.

Even if Xu Lai was alone, he could unify the grassland. He at least greatly accelerated this process.

The most important thing is that without the strong support of their Martel family, the grassland would still be in chaos at this time.

Xu Lai, let alone integrating the power of the entire grassland, could not take down Aini and all his territories.

At this time, the orcs came, and Aini would never rebel. The orcs had a stable food supply, a large army, and rich intelligence.

Facing such an opponent, what could Xu Lai use to fight against them? I am afraid that he might not even be able to keep his foundation, Qingfeng City.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Jimmy has made great contributions to Xu Lai.

Such a great contribution, unless he rebels again one day, he will not be severely punished.

But such treatment is only available to his generation.

If his son puts personal interests above public interests, Xu Lai may not say much for his sake, but he will definitely become estranged in the future.

If he becomes estranged, all the friendships that have been established now will be useless in the future.

On this side, Jimmy is using his many years of life experience to teach his son tirelessly.

On the other side, Xu Lai rushed to Qingfeng City overnight.

Although thousands of wolf cavalrymen who have no siege ability are unlikely to capture Qingfeng City that he has worked so hard to build.

But it is better to be safe than sorry.

Qingfeng City is his lifeblood, and his investment in this city has reached an extremely exaggerated level.

Moreover, this city has accumulated countless resources from his suppression of horse bandits and plundering of underground cities.

Other buildings such as Yunzhong City and the Golden Statue of the God of War are also not to be lost.

On the contrary, he can afford to pay for the military camps, large trading markets, villages and towns built outside the city.

Kenlo Hag divided the wolf cavalry into 5 teams, each with about 5,000 people.

It would be difficult to obtain supplies if there were too many, and it would be difficult to form combat effectiveness if there were too few, and there would be no way to resolve the battle quickly.

The most taboo thing for them to do sabotage behind enemy lines is to be dragged down by the enemy.

Once they are dragged down and reinforcements are called, it will be more difficult for them to escape, and it is very easy for the whole army to be annihilated in the rear.

In the evening, Xu Lai also received a message from Reina, knowing that the Qingfeng Corps had won a victory in the Stone City.

The losses were almost negligible due to the overnight resurrection of the Angel Corps.

In the end, there were only more than a hundred civilians and dozens of soldiers whose bodies could not be found, and they could not be resurrected.

The rest of the casualties were basically healed under the treatment of the priest.

Even those who used the spell of regeneration of broken limbs only needed to rest for two days before they could rejoin the battle.

It was equivalent to that after a battle, less than 500 soldiers withdrew from the battle.

But compared with the losses of their own army, the losses of the rest were relatively large.

The city wall was destroyed in three places, and three catapults were completely damaged, including an enchanted flame catapult.

The remaining five catapults on the city wall also need to be overhauled, and more than 50 crossbows were smashed, and the number that needs to be repaired is as high as three digits.

In terms of ammunition, the phantom shooter is powerful and the speed of ammunition consumption is also extremely alarming.

The armor-piercing ammunition used by the crossbow and the crossbowmen has also consumed more than 100,000 rounds. There is not much inventory left, and most of the remaining ammunition is ordinary ammunition.

The flame bomb also blasted out about half of the inventory, and the remaining various types of magic ammunition added up to only more than 1,000 rounds.

If the orcs organize such an offensive again, then relying on the existing ammunition in the Stone City alone, it will not be able to kill the enemy as quickly as today and quickly hit the enemy's morale.

Of course, even so, Lena is still confident that she can continue to defend the Stone City.

What she meant by saying this is just to remind Xu Lai that the ammunition and supplies of the Stone City need to be replenished.

She used the materials delivered before the battle to build walls and arrow towers, and the materials delivered after the battle could only support three or four rounds of repairs at most.

The premise is that the damage can only be as severe as today and cannot continue to expand.

Xu Lai didn't know that the orcs had already thought of retreating because of the heavy losses.

He only knew that the manpower and material resources that could be mobilized by mobilizing an entire camp were unimaginable, not to mention a force that had accumulated for hundreds of years.

But he had forgotten that the place where the orcs lived was called the Wild Land.

For hundreds of years, it was not easy for these orcs to survive and reproduce, not to mention accumulating resources.

Of course, Xu Lai didn't really forget, he just had no choice but to make the worst plan first and then try his best.

If he lost the whole war because of overly optimistic estimates and insufficient preparation, that would be the stupidest thing.

Even a lion fighting a rabbit must use all its strength.

But he couldn't meet Reina's requirements for the time being.

The subsequent team to deliver materials still couldn't be organized.

Although they had just wiped out Kenlo Hag, her wolf riders were still wreaking havoc in the rear.

Xu Lai was so busy riding his horse that he wished he could sleep on the horse.

But he was still too busy to do anything else, and he didn't know how long it would take to wipe out these wolf riders.

No, he no longer expected to wipe out all of them, but only hoped to drive them away as soon as possible, or at least drive away a few of them.

Only in this way can the team be reorganized to transport supplies to the Stone City, because only then can he be sure that he can keep an eye on the wolf riders.

Reina expressed her understanding of the situation in the rear, and Xu Lai rushed back to Qingfeng City at night.

However, he did not enter the city, nor did he even alarm the defenders of Qingfeng City. He only greeted the patrolling sentinels and asked them and the cooks at the nearby post station to prepare breakfast for him and his knights.

Fighting during the day and raiding at night, there were only one or two temporary rests in between, each time not exceeding two hours.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet bright at this time, the wolf riders did not really approach the super city of Qingfeng City.

Such a super city must have a large number of defenders.

The wolf riders have only two tasks, one is to obtain as much supplies as possible to feed themselves.

The other is to destroy the rear of humans as much as possible and plunder any caravans and transport teams.

In the enemy's rear, touching the huge fortified city is simply a suicidal act. These wolf riders are not suicide squads.

Even if it is suicide, it has to be meaningful.

Staying outside this fortified city and robbing the caravans entering and leaving the city at any time, wouldn't it be more effective and complete the mission?

Since the enemy is not close to the city, Xu Lai naturally has no need to enter the city, and he can catch up with the enemy faster outside the city.

After a quick two-hour rest and eating something to replenish food and physical strength, the Holy Dragon Xiaolan who followed Xu Lai all the way successfully helped him find the target he wanted.

Although those Pegasus knights can also fly, they are not as fast or as far as the Holy Dragon, so Xu Lai simply left it to Lina.

After finding the target and confirming the direction, Xu Lai was not in a hurry.

Continuous raids are still bearable for people, after all, they have been sitting on the horse, but even the most powerful warhorse can't bear it, and it takes a longer time to recover.

Coincidentally, the group of targets found by the Holy Dragon are also moving towards their direction, so they might as well wait for them.

There were no surprises in the battle. Although three hours could not allow the knights to fully recover, a short-distance charge was no problem at all.

This wolf cavalry had a large number of people, about 6,000 people, and was another main wolf cavalry besides Kenro Hag.

The leader was also a wolf cavalry hero, but he was an advent hero and could not be considered a real orc.

Of course, in Xu Lai's view, this made no difference.

After so long, he had killed countless heroes and no longer had the fear and anxiety he had at the beginning.

However, it made no difference to Xu Lai, but it made a big difference to the hero himself. He had no intention of dying for the orcs at all.

"I surrender, brother, I surrender!" (End of this chapter)
