The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

It was only 650 gold coins. Xu Lai could earn 550 gold coins in one night, and he took it out without even gritting his teeth.

But after recruiting Wei Yihong, Xu Lai will have to consider the remaining two.

In fact, there was nothing to consider. These two refugees were of high levels, especially the human sword master. Xu Lai would definitely recruit them.

It's just that these two items cost 3,000 gold in total. Xu Lai also needs to upgrade the warehouse, upgrade the wooden houses, and build more wooden houses for the troops to rest.

Tonight, all the troops were mobilized, but only about 20 people could get a rest.

Obviously, there are a large number of wooden houses and other buildings in Qingfeng Village. In order to prevent horse thieves, Xu Lai gave priority to building fences.

After the recruitment was completed, Wei Yihong indeed appeared in Xu Lai's troop list, but he was neither a general nor a captain. He only had one additional occupation, the same as those of shooters and knights.

Brother Wei, after a long day of fighting last night, I really can't hold on any longer, so I won't greet you anymore.

You can wander around the whole village as you like, but don't leave the village. There are wild monsters outside. Now my troops need to rest and regain their strength. If you go out and encounter danger, I won't be able to save you in time.

Wei Yihong nodded quickly and said: I also heard the oracle last night. Boss, don't worry, I will not run around and just stay in the village.

Xu Lai smiled and said: Qingfeng Village is quite big. There is also a Swan Lake here. The water is clear and sweet. I even built a small boat.

Xu Lai hasn't heard the title boss for a long time, and he only heard it before, but today he calls himself the title.

After bidding farewell to Wei Yihong, Xu Lai said to Su Ya: Don't call me master in the future. If you think the village chief's status is too low, just like that old Wei, call me boss.

What do you mean, boss? Su Ya obviously didn't know much about Chinese culture.

Xu Lai shook his head and said, Don't worry about it. Anyway, if you call me master again, I will spank you.

Su Ya blushed, but she didn't dare to continue talking.

Xu Lai, who had stayed up all night, really couldn't hold on any longer, especially since he had been shot heavily in the head with an arrow.

Healing restored his health, but the mental trauma was not so easy to recover from.

They sent Xu Lai to rest, but Su Ya refused to lie down. She said that she was worried about Wei Yihong, and the battlefield also needed to be tidied up and cleaned.

Apart from anything else, those piles of corpses of the horse thief leaders must be disposed of.

The weather in June is not cool. If the corpses are left out for a long time, they will definitely stink and even cause diseases.

This is not a disease caused by witches' spells. Although ordinary diseases do not have such strong effects, they last for a very long time.

Especially since Swan Lake is the only water resource in Qingfeng Village, corpses cannot be allowed to contaminate Swan Lake.

Okay, okay, I can't argue with you. If you don't want to sleep, don't go to bed. Just remember to come over and call me at noon.

Su Ya said reluctantly. She actually wanted Xu Lai to rest longer, but Xu Lai was afraid of disturbing his biological clock, so Su Ya had to call him at noon.

Early morning and morning passed quickly, and when Xu Lai opened his eyes again, it was already past 12 o'clock.

Su Ya has prepared lunch for him, roasted horse meat.

Last night, in addition to many people dying, there were also many horses dying.

In the morning, Su Ya asked farmers to go nearby to collect the horses that escaped last night. Not only did they bring back many war horses, but they also found many corpses.

Su Ya has already asked the farmers to cut up the horse meat. More than 1,000 units of horse meat cannot be stored even in the warehouse.

I'm working hard to upgrade the two warehouses, and there are also wooden houses. I'll build two of them first.

As soon as Xu Lai woke up, Su Ya made a work report in time.

The warehouse was better. Su Ya mobilized 6 farmers to upgrade the warehouse. It only took three hours to upgrade the warehouse, without delaying the storage of horse meat.

However, the construction of a wooden house takes 24 hours. Even if three farmers are sent to build one, it will take 8 hours. With Su Ya's talents and characteristics, it is estimated that it will have to wait until dark before it can be used.

I didn't let all the farmers go to rest. I pulled out those who still had enough energy to work first, but even this was not enough for distribution.

The war horses require people to manage them, and the horse pens also need to be nailed with wood by farmers. When people are needed everywhere, it is good that Su Ya can complete so many things.

It doesn't matter, let's take it slow, there is still plenty of time.

We collected so much horsemeat that we were able to stop the farmers in the farmhouse for two days and send them out to collect wood and build houses.

By the way, where is Wei Yihong?

Su Ya said: I saw that he had nothing to do, so I got him a pair of fishing rods and let him go fishing.

Xu Lai looked at Su Ya in surprise and said: At least he is a living person. The worst he can do is go chop some wood for the head office.

Su Ya shook her head and said, I've seen it. He probably doesn't have any experience in farm work. Farmer's work is not suitable for him. I wouldn't trust him if he did it.

After recruiting Wei Yihong, Xu Lai could see Wei Yihong's attributes, and he had an extra layer of loyalty than before in the refugee camp.

Su Ya's loyalty is 100 points, but Wei Yihong's loyalty hovers between 50 and 80 points, which is a very large range. It can be seen that the information previously noted is indeed true.

People's hearts are the most complicated, and the 50-point loyalty limit is completely untrustworthy.

But trust is mutual. If Xu Lai is like Su Ya, always suspicious of Wei Yihong, this loyalty value will only get lower and lower.

Of course, Xu Lai could not blame Su Ya. He smiled and said to Su Ya:

Thank you for your hard work. You can take a lunch break at noon. Don't worry, I won't let you rest for too long.

Just when Su Ya was about to refuse, Xu Lai raised his hand and said, This is an order, go quickly!

After being taken care of by Su Ya all morning, the entire village returned to an orderly working state.

The two warehouses stood side by side opposite the village hall, in a row with the functional buildings in the refugee camp.

Next to the village hall, there are wooden houses built in rows.

The square where the God of War's Feet is located leads directly to the farmhouses and waterwheels beside the Swan Lake.

Xu Lai checked the physical strength bars of all the farmers, pulled out all the red ones and sent them to the manor to rest. In the manor, the green ones whose physical strength had been restored were pulled out for rotation.

A total of 34 farmers, even though they have not been working in the farmhouse for the past few days, still seem a little nervous due to a pile of construction tasks and felling tasks.

But there is no other way, at least there are no other wild manors nearby, so we can only rely on time to slowly accumulate farmers.

After arranging the peasants, Xu Lai called out the scouts again.

These three scouts had ignored them before, but now their health bars were very full.

Two level 4 scouts were arranged to conduct reconnaissance in the east and west directions of the village. Xu Lai's troops had passed through these two directions countless times. There should be no other monsters except the newly appeared harpies.

The level 5 elite scouts move faster, have fuller physical strength, have longer invisibility spells, and have more mana, which means they can use invisibility more times per day, and they also have an additional trap-breaking skill.

In contrast, the elite scout's task is also more arduous. He needs to go all the way south and draw a detailed map of the entire south.

After advancing, the elite scout's reconnaissance ability has also been enhanced. Feedback to Xu Lai here means that he can obtain more accurate intelligence and draw more detailed maps.

For example, the scouts could only tell Xu Lai what kind of wild monsters they were, whether they were many or a group.

However, elite scouts can tell Xu Lai what level the wild monsters are, how many are basic wild monsters, and how many have been upgraded. Even the buildings, treasure chests and resources they guard can be reported in detail. .

At 12 o'clock last night, what Xu Lai focused on remembering was naturally the one in front of him, that is, the harpies to the east.

But he didn't intend to let go of the harpies in other areas, but he needed to buy time and occupy the horse thief camp as soon as possible while the horse thief was leaderless.

Different from the previous attack on his village, Xu Lai took the initiative to attack this time. Xu Lai felt that his own strength was still a little bit behind, so he had to find a way to improve his strength as soon as possible.

The prophet's mission may be an opportunity. After sweeping away all the harpies in the periphery, he plans to open all the harpies' treasure houses together.

After arranging the investigation mission, Xu Lai went to the Swan Lake and found Wei Yihong, who had already taken a bath and was relaxing by the lake.

Seeing Xu Lai, Wei Yihong seemed a little nervous and couldn't help but stand up.

Xu Lai smiled and waved his hand and said, Don't be nervous. I'm very poor now and can't pay you a salary. I can only provide you with food and accommodation for the time being.

Wei Yihong was either really nervous, or everyone else was busy doing it. He was fishing alone, feeling a little embarrassed.

I'm happy enough to have food and accommodation included. I don't have much money to spend on wages and other things, even if you give them to me.

Xu Lai shook his head and said: You must give it. I can't let you work in vain. There is no such thing in the world as asking a horse to run and not letting it eat grass.

But you also know that although my village has been built, it is far from stable.

You didn't see the battle yesterday, but you should have seen what happened this morning.

Wei Yihong nodded and said: I saw it. I heard that the necromancers in this world like to dig up corpses everywhere, so I suggested that Miss Su burn all the corpses directly.

Xu Lai knew about this, and he was in favor of burning. He didn't care whether those horse thieves wanted to be buried in the ground, but he didn't have the time to dig holes for them one by one.

Our place is called Pingfeng Grassland. In the northwest of the empire, it is known that a demon legion is invading, and it should be at war with the Western Empire.

Behind us, less than three days away from here, the orc army may have crossed Pingfeng Mountain.

Before Xu could finish speaking, Wei Yihong smiled bitterly and said:

I understand, we are all foreigners, and the nobles in the empire don't have the slightest fondness for us, and they want to kill us all.

The resources accumulated now should be used for development, and wages and other things should be put aside for the time being.

Xu Lai smiled and said, No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I'm not trying to find an excuse to deduct your salary, but I'm looking for you to do another thing.

With that said, Xu Lai led Wei Yihong to the newly built warehouse. In the three wooden houses that were closed together, most of them were piled with stones, wood and other resources, and the other half were piled with a pile of armor and weapons.
