The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai is not a mage, so although he knows this is a magic book, he doesn't know how to use it.

Especially this thing, there’s not a single word about it.

Of course, the things that Andy Yin can put away, even if they are temporarily useless, are definitely valuable.

So Xu Lai put it into his backpack without any ceremony.

The last thing left was a scroll. Xu Lai thought it was a spell scroll he had harvested before, but when he opened it, it turned out to be no spell scroll at all.

There are orcs who are brazenly invading our grassland.

Orcs have always been arrogant and even prey on humans. They are the common enemy of the human race.

Today, various caravans are selling supplies to prepare for the orcs. From the day they receive the order, all ministries will stop all plundering of the caravans.

But if anyone dares to violate this order, I will personally punish him in the future.

——Bello”

The scroll has no function, it just has some words written on it.

However, after Xu read these words, his heart was touched.

But for people like Andy Yin, regardless of whether he obeyed Bello's orders or not, his plundering of prairie villages would never stop.

Could it be that Xu Lai allowed Yin Andi to rob him?

If you dare to rob me today, don't blame me for picking all your lairs tomorrow.

Therefore, after sighing, Xu Lai threw this useless scroll aside.

Judging from the content of this scroll, the Prairie King will not make much action in the near future. Of course, it is hard to say about the commanders under him, such as the generals.

Anyway, Xu Lai still couldn't be careless. In addition to promoting Yan Feng and letting him serve as the peripheral patrol captain, he also had to recruit elite scouts as soon as possible.

Let him lead people to explore the entire surrounding area of ​​Qingfeng Town.

Even if you run a little further, you can't give up leveling. You must do everything possible to strengthen yourself. This is the way to survive in troubled times.

After sorting out the equipment, Xu Lai ate something and took a nap.

Until the evening, the newly promoted captain Bai Yang led a few farmers to prepare dinner for everyone. Yan Feng, who was patrolling the perimeter, still saw no sign of Su Ya's large army.

In June, the night was not too cold, and there was plenty of food at Su Ya's place, but it was still worrying at night, especially since most of the team were civilians.

Xu Lai waved and asked Yan Feng to lead two rangers, all lighting up torches, to greet them from a distance.

Nine houses have been built, and even the shooter tower has been built by Xu Lai, but it is not in the center of the town, but on the edge of the town together with the sentry tower.

Xu Lai plans to use Swan Lake as the boundary, and the west side of the lake connected to the farmland will be planned as a planting area in the future.

The north side of the lake is a grazing area, and the south side is close to the underground passage. Xu Lai plans to surround it with a wall and use the wall and arrow tower to test the manticore's weight.

Of course, that will have to wait until Qingfeng Town develops to a certain scale. At least for a month or two, Xu Lai cannot guarantee that there will be no major casualties.

The east side of Swan Lake is naturally the military area planned by Xu Lai. From now on, ordinary civilians will not be allowed to wander in the east area.

The center is the construction area headed by the Assembly Hall, the business area, and the main activity area of ​​the town.

Although the feet of the God of War in the center of the town are well sealed, their appearance is so strange that it is difficult not to arouse the curiosity of others.

Before Su Ya and the others came back, Xu Lai asked Xiao Baiyang to find a way to cover the feet of the God of War.

Bai Yang took several other forest demons and transplanted several saplings that had been cultivated before and had grown to one meter smaller. Then several forest demons worked together to encourage these saplings to grow rapidly.

They even controlled the growth direction of the saplings, making their branches move inwards, and finally surrounded the God of War's feet tightly.

When ordinary people look at it from the outside, they only think it is a big tree, but they never expect that it is surrounded by four big trees.

Xu Lai held a torch and looked through the gap. Even with his intermediate eagle eye skills, he couldn't see anything. Unless other people cut down these big trees, they wouldn't know what was hidden inside.

The shepherd's talent allowed the forest demon to cultivate hundreds of saplings at one time, but such growth was extremely labor-intensive. When the big trees surrounded them, several forest demons became obviously weak.

Xu Lai immediately asked Bai Yang to take the forest demons to rest in the courtyard. Four forest demons happened to be sleeping in a side room of the courtyard.

Around 8 or 9 o'clock, Su Ya and the others finally returned to the town with a large force.

Xu Lai, who had been notified in advance by Yan Feng, had already ordered all the torches in stock to be lit, and ten magic lamps, which were not much darker than incandescent lamps, were hung in front of the council hall and the gates of the nine houses.

A magic lamp is brighter than 4 or 5 torches. The key is that it does not waste fuel. It absorbs the magic floating in the air for 24 hours and can be lit for 12 hours.

It means that as long as you remember to turn it off during the day, you can use it for free for one night. If you are careful not to break it, you can use it until death.

However, the magic lamp can only be lit within the sphere of influence of Qingfeng Town. This is not as good as the torch. Although the torch has a time limit, it can be used anywhere.

Under the illumination of magic lamps and torches, the small town looked particularly bright.

Xu Lai specially prepared hot rice and hot water. Although the weather is not cold, eating hot food will help you rest better at night.

The two groups of people brought back were placed directly separately. One group was directly stuffed into the crystal mine, while the other group moved into the residence under the leadership of Su Ya and Yu Lan.

It was too late today. Urdola and others still wanted to show their loyalty, but Xu Lai took them over to rest with a smile.

However, they still enjoyed some privileges. There were four of them including Urdola and Dong Shuqin, so the five of them lived in one courtyard.

During this period, Dong Shuqin expressed that she did not want to live in the same courtyard with so many men and wanted to live with Xu Lai and the others.

However, how could Xu Lai agree and said with a smile, How about letting you share a room with other women?

Dong Shuqin burst into tears and finally stayed in this house.

Everyone else was tired after a long day and night, so Xu Lai had to let Yan Feng work harder, leading the gargoyles and flower demons to maintain law and order in the town and the crystal mine.

During the day, Wei Yihong had just tidied up the warehouse, and the supplies brought back by Su Ya and others could only be temporarily stored in Xu Lai's yard.

Xu Lai placed Yu Lan and Giselle in the east wing to rest, while Wei Yihong and Tahan were in the west wing.

However, everyone was still awake at this time. With the help of Su Ya, Wei Yihong counted various supplies overnight, emptied the supply truck and loaded the equipment and resources that needed to be taken away.

The war between the orcs and the humans does not know when it will begin, so the deal with the temple must not be delayed.

In addition, there were too many materials seized. Even if Xu Lai wanted to expand the warehouse, he would still need manpower and time.

After a night's rest today, Xu Lai decided to let Wei Yihong and others set off tomorrow, taking the first batch of goods there first, and returning in exchange for some gold coins and higher-end supply trucks.

After a lot of busy work, six people in the yard worked for more than an hour before preparing the first batch of goods.

Xu Lai couldn't let Wei Yihong take away too many people. Urdola and the four of them were from the mercenary group, but the other two were from the same caravan.

The Eboka brothers are the managers and guard captains of a caravan. Now that they have lost their master's goods, they dare not go back.

Of course, some of the goods they lost were in Xu Lai's hands.

But not to mention that they didn't want to offend Xu Lai, even if they were so thick-skinned, the valuables in the caravan had already been handed over to black market traders by Yin Andi.

Urdola's situation is similar. His mercenary group undertakes escort missions. He himself is also a senior level 5 swordsman, only one step away from becoming a level 6 champion swordsman.

However, not only was one of his legs disabled, but most of his strength was lost. The mercenary group he brought out also suffered heavy casualties, and only a few people escaped under his cover.

His family still has some savings, but with the little assets he has, he can't even pay for his brother's pension, let alone compensate the owner of the goods for their losses.

On the contrary, it was the young man named Aaron who was a level 5 marksman in another mercenary group. He was only 30 years old and was quite a talent.

Even Andy Yin was not willing to maim him. He was the cleanest and he didn't have to bear any liabilities since he was not the boss.

He, Urdola and others joined Xu Lai. Firstly, Xu Lai really saved his life. Secondly, as a mercenary, he was indeed a cosmopolitan person, no matter where he worked.

After understanding the identities and backgrounds of the four people, Xu Lai certainly could not let them idle. He decided to let Wei Yihong lead the team tomorrow and lead Urdola and Big Aiboka to the town. Tahan took two knights along the way. Guard and help with transportation.

Several people can ride horses. Except for Wei Yihong, whose riding skills are a bit poor, it is also very easy for others to manage several grassland horses carrying goods.

So tomorrow they will bring 700 units of wood, 300 units of stone, as well as a small amount of antique calligraphy and painting and weapons and equipment.

Although wood and stone are the most urgent supplies currently in short supply in the temple, their prices cannot be compared with weapons and equipment.

Xu Lai used all the space in the supply truck to store these supplies, mainly to show his sincerity to the temple, which was equivalent to selling favor.

Of course, the more important reason is that Xu Lai hopes to obtain a larger-capacity supply vehicle as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to organize a large caravan with so many people under his command.

He does not lack horses, nor does he lack escorts, but he lacks basic caravan personnel such as grooms and porters.

After a night's rest and breakfast the next morning, Wei Yihong was ready for everything.

Xu Lai personally invited Urdola and Big Aboka over.

They just joined him yesterday, and today Xu Lai sent them out to work. No matter what, he had to paint a big picture for them.

Aiboka, you have experience in caravan management. I hope you can help Wei Yihong set up our own caravan in Qingfeng Town as soon as possible.

If there is a shortage of manpower, you can recruit some by yourself in the town. From now on, the caravan will be handed over to you two. The remuneration and other things will be all the same as those of Lao Wei.

Xu Lai's offer to Wei Yihong was not low. Aiboka had worked hard for so many years to become a caravan manager, but even so, he was not qualified to receive the owner's share.

So even though he is only the second-in-command now, Aiboka is still grateful to Xu Lai.

As for Urdola, Xu Lai patted him on the shoulder and said to him: Old Wu, the healing spells of mine and Su Ya have no effect on your legs.

But don’t worry, I have a good relationship with a high priest in the temple. This time, I will ask Old Wei to ask the high priest to come forward and find a good priest to help you treat your leg disease.
