The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After asking the entire village to join him, Xu Lai suddenly realized that perhaps his greatest opportunity was at this time.

With an order from the temple, countless villages and towns in the grassland were demolished.

Even behind Stone Castle, the temple and Count Aini demolished several towns in order to build Stone Castle.

It would be okay if they just demolished the town, but now the temple and Count Ani have made it clear that these villagers will be left to die.

Ordinary villagers have no choice. Are the previous village chiefs and town chiefs really willing?

Of course, those who really have connections and abilities may have hid behind the scenes long ago. It may be too late for Xu Lai to take action at this time.

But even if you just raise a few village-level castle hearts, it is still very profitable. If you gather 6 Xu Lai, you can advance to the fortress-level castle heart.

If he misses this opportunity, Xu Lai really doesn't know when he will have to wait until next time to have the opportunity to build a city and fort.

Wei Yihong smiled bitterly and said: I will try my best to complete this task. You not only provided a large amount of equipment this time, but also provided an additional 100 units of iron ingots. I think there will be no problem in the temple.

Xu Lai understood and said: You mean that Count Aini will have objections, right?

Wei Yihong said: I heard what High Priest Ryan means is that Count Aini seems to want to call all the heroes in Pingfeng Grassland to fight.

Moreover, this time in Stone Castle, I also saw a hero.

This person must be from abroad. I greeted him in Chinese, but he didn't understand it at all.

Xu Lai pondered for a moment and said: To be honest, I really want to participate in this war between humans and orcs.

If you miss this kind of battle once, it will probably be difficult to encounter in the future, and this battle may decide the fate of the entire grassland.

No matter how we accumulate strength in the rear, if the front line collapses, how can I, a small town, fight against the entire stronghold camp?

But let's go to war. We are single and weak. We only have about a hundred soldiers to pull out all our assets. I'm really afraid that others will just use us as cannon fodder. Then we will die without even knowing how.

Wei Yihong thought for a while and said: Actually, if I were you, I would have run away three hundred years ago, let alone even thought about going to the war.

But you are right. As long as we win this battle, we will definitely gain a lot of experience.

Let me tell you, as long as we can ensure that we don't die, it doesn't matter even if we send all those subordinates in.

Once a hero's level rises, even if he only has some low-level soldiers in hand, he will train very quickly, which means he will lose more gold coins.

Xu Lai sighed, not only that there are more, but is it easy for Xu Lai to cultivate these elites? Each one has slowly risen from level 2 and level 3 to the current level 5 and level 6.

Each soldier cost thousands of gold coins and countless experience.

But what Wei Yihong said was true. If he could use these soldiers to greatly improve his own level, it would be a good deal.

Even if he was only promoted to level 5 or 6, Xu Lai could acquire several more specializations. At that time, even a militiaman in his hands would be able to exert the combat effectiveness of a level 3 or 4 soldier.

Just do your best. If Count Aini really doesn't agree, there's nothing you can do.

Xu Lai sighed one last time, ended this small impromptu meeting, and then everyone dispersed.

Knowing that people from a village were coming, Xu Lai had no choice but to withdraw some more people from the farm tomorrow.

The same goes for the mines. It's time to ask some miners to collect stones, and the remaining farmers should be called back to build wooden houses.

After careful planning, Wei Yihong and the others set out early tomorrow morning. It may be slower to take the villagers with them, but it will only take two or three days at most.

In two or three days, Xu Lai will prepare at least twenty wooden houses and add some more houses.

After dinner, Xu Lai took advantage of the money and built a grocery store first. He originally wanted to build other shops together, but he was worried that there would not be enough stone to upgrade the house later, so he endured it.

Like medical clinics, grocery stores also sell basic items, such as basic seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, as well as basic daily necessities such as needlework, linen, shovels, and iron pots.

There are a lot of things and the prices are not expensive. They use a low-level currency called dinars.

Just like gold, silver and copper coins, the exchange ratio between gold coins and dinars was exaggerated, reaching the level of 1:100.

Xu Lai slightly adjusted the prices. He adjusted the basic prices of these items upward by 10%, which was equivalent to offsetting the taxes and fees. They were still sold at cost.

There should not be many of these people who moved here with money. At least those women who were locked up in the dungeon should have no money.

Xu Lai didn't want to continue exploiting these poor people, so he simply paid according to the cost price, and then adjusted the price slightly after Grammy Village and the additional 10 villagers moved here.

Of course, the taxes and fees entered the meeting hall, which was equivalent to exchanging the left hand for the right hand, and it was still in Xu Lai's hands.

Another major function of the grocery store is to sell the items in Xu Lai's hands. No matter what, even gold coins can be sold.

As the owner of the grocery store, Xu Lai also has arbitrary pricing power. For example, 1 gold coin can be exchanged for 100 dinars, but Xu Lai can also directly sell it for 1,000 or even 10,000 dinars.

Anyway, he can set the price as he pleases. Even if others buy it, Xu Lai can't decide.

After a town is upgraded to a town, its development model can no longer be as self-sufficient as a village. It is necessary to increase the prosperity of the town through trade.

There are many towns in the empire, and fortresses and castles are only a few after all. Moreover, the towns in some wealthy areas are even larger than fortresses and castles, and their sphere of influence is wider.

Xu Lai is now in a no-man's land, so no caravans are visiting, but once Qingfeng Town becomes famous, people from the caravans will come over if they smell the smell.

At that time, Xu Lai could set a price for some of the things he collected and throw them into the grocery store.

In the next two days, Qingfeng Town finally calmed down. The surrounding wild monsters had been cleared away long ago. Even wild animals did not dare to approach. A nearby wolf pack had also disappeared without a trace.

Because of the Swan Lake, herbivores would come to drink water from time to time. Xu Lai issued a strict order not to allow anyone to hunt near the Swan Lake. Even the fish in the lake could not be caught every day.

Plants in other worlds grow very fast, and animals are also affected, but it still takes a long time. Xu Lai doesn't want to fish in the lake.

Xu Lai kept his promise and packed 12 flower demons, 9 level 3 shooters, and 2 level 3 light infantry into the advanced training ground, and gave them double experience of 1 gold coin per hour.

23 warriors train for 8 hours a day, plus Xu Lai, Su Ya, and Giselle receive 5 gold coins for 8 hours a day. This cost alone costs 300 gold a day.

The good news is that the two level 3 light infantry who have been following Xu Lai and the others can finally be upgraded.

There are two advancement directions for level 3 light infantry. One is level 4 heavy infantry that replaces a full set of light leather armor with scale armor.

The heavy infantry focuses on defense and is still the standard configuration of sword and shield. However, due to the increase in weight, there is no increase in speed. The defense and attack are greatly improved, and there is an extra bag of javelins.

The shooting distance of the javelin is related to the strength attribute of the warrior. The shooting range of the heavy infantry is about 20 meters to 30 meters.

After exceeding 30 meters, the damage is reduced by 50% for every 10 meters. That is, when it reaches 50 meters, it will only be 25% of the standard damage. When it reaches 60 meters, it will be 12.5%. The limit is 60 meters.

Although the javelin's range is not far, its damage is extremely high, and it has level 1 armor breaking, which can ignore 10% of physical defense.

Next is the level 4 warrior. Xu Lai didn't choose it, so the specific attributes are unclear, but Urdola came from the level 4 warrior.

Urdola is now a level 5 swordsman. She is good at using one-handed swords and two-handed swords. She doesn't like to wear heavy armor, so she usually chooses leather armor with a heart protector inlaid on the heart.

In Urdola's words, swordsmen are warriors who value skill. They need to be able to control their bodies freely, and dexterity is the first thing swordsmen pay attention to.

From Urdola's introduction, Xu Lai could basically conclude that swordsmen were a type of unit with strong single combat capabilities but poor group combat capabilities, so he decisively chose heavy infantry.

But Urdola also said that after the warrior, there is another advancement direction, which is at level 5.

At that time, warriors could choose to advance to become swordsmen with more superb swordsmanship, or they could choose to put on heavy armor and hold two swords to become a two-sword warrior who advocated attack, or even become a famous crusader.

This thing has high defense and abnormal attack. The key level is level 6, which just doesn't reach the high level.

Not reaching high-level is not a bad thing. On the contrary, the output of high-level units will be reduced by an astonishing amount.

The Crusaders' combat power is almost the same as that of high-level warriors, but their numbers are several times that of high-level warriors. They are the true main warriors of the human race.

The deeds of the High King Aled's family are widely circulated, and the talent inherited by the Aled's family is the crusade talent.

In the hands of the Aled family, the only shortcoming of the Crusaders, that is, their movement speed, has been made up for. Coupled with the offense and defense brought by talents, this unit has become a real battlefield meat grinder.

Apart from these two heavy infantrymen, after two days, only Xu Lai himself had finally broken through the last 6% of experience points and successfully upgraded to level 12.

This time, Xu Lai's intelligence has been increased. Counting equipment, he now has 13 intelligence points and 130 mana points. He can heal 13 times and can restore a total of 156 health points to a certain group of targets.

For Xu Lai, the key to upgrading is not the increase in attributes, but specialization.

This time, he gained a new specialization.
