The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

The awakening spell is not a commonly used spell. Its function is very simple. It can wake up your own units when they are controlled by mental spells.

Of course, this spell is also very useful for clearing people's minds and restoring calm.

Xu Lai could clearly feel that the anger in his body was driven away by an unknown force, making him peaceful again.

But when he looked at Inoue Murao, his anger continued to rise.

After all, the awakening spell can only wake you up temporarily, and it is impossible to expect it to be effective all the time.

After being glanced at by Xu Lai's murderous eyes, Inoue couldn't help but take a few steps back even though Inoue boasted of his strength.

Count Aini on the stage pretended to be calm and sat motionless. In fact, his big hand had already reached into his arms. If anything went wrong, he would be able to tear open a protective scroll as quickly as possible.

Xu Lai knew that in this situation, even if he was surrounded by masters, he would be drowned in a steady stream of soldiers.

What's more, there are also many human masters gathered on this general stage.

Not to mention the 8th level Holy Light Knight and Crimson Archbishop, just the high-level elf sitting in the first position, who can still watch the show with his chest crossed at this moment, and Count Aini, all of them are at least 6 A genuine knight of the highest order.

Although these knights are at the same level as Xu Lai's knights, they are much more difficult to upgrade than Xu Lai's knights. In addition, they all receive wages from Aini, and some have fiefdoms to collect taxes. The equipment they carry is not enhanced. The set is a high-quality set.

It can be said that when Xu comes here, he cannot compare in terms of quantity or quality.

But with the unique advantages of his hero, Xu Lai was confident that if he really fought, he would at least kill some of the people on the stage.

Of course, that was also the worst option for Xu Lai, because it meant that he, Xu Lai, would also die.

In such an occasion, it is impossible to expect Count Aini to give in first.

Xu Lai had no choice but to wave his hand first, so the mercenaries and rangers put away their spears, Dill Rogers put away his bows and arrows, and the archers stood up again and lined up.

Seeing that Xu Lai had given in, Count Aini immediately became furious and almost wanted to order the execution of this bastard who dared to let his men aim their bows and arrows at him.

However, to his left, the Elf ranger was staring at him with a half-smile, and one of Holy Light Knight Pierce's hands had already grasped the wrist of his right hand.

Of course Pierce wasn't trying to hurt him, but Aini knew that once he had any hint of ordering Xu Lai's death, the other party would take control of him as soon as possible.

Although the 60 or so people Xu came here were not many, they were all high-level forces. When used on the battlefield, they could kill the same number of orcs.

And if used here, it is likely that they will only kill an equal number or even more of their own people.

As a Knight of Holy Light, Pierce would never allow this to happen. No matter who wanted to provoke a dispute, he would take action.

Archbishop Duer also said: Okay, don't let the atmosphere be so serious. Your Excellency Xu Lai just wants to show off his archery skills without hurting anyone. Is it necessary for Your Excellency the Earl to make such a fuss?

The ranger glanced at Giselle next to Dir, and then smiled and said to Count Aini:

Your Excellency, with all due respect, if you humans only use your strength to kill each other, then in my opinion, there is really no need for us elves to sacrifice for you humans.

An ugly smile appeared on Count Aini's face and he said: Archbishop, Your Excellency the ranger, you have all misunderstood. It's just the sergeants who are maintaining order normally.

After saying that, Count Aini waved his hand, and the spearmen, pikemen and shooters in the distance all put away their weapons.

High Priest Ryan sighed at this time and said: I brought them here, let me take them away.

Count Aini really wanted to directly mobilize Xu Lai's troops in the name of leadership, but he estimated that doing so would make Xu Lai betray him again on the spot, and the situation would be really difficult to control at that time.

After all, the first time can be said to be a misunderstanding and he can barely step down. If it happens a second time, he will have no choice but to fight to the death. Otherwise, will he still be the commander and will he still have any prestige?

It has to be said that although Xu came here with a small number of people, he did show some threatening ability.

Earl Ani is a gentleman who does not stand in danger. There is no need for his exquisite porcelain to fight against his opponent's broken earthen jar at this time.

Priest Ryan, since Xu Lai is here with a reply order, of course he should be incorporated into the defense force together with other troops.

I think just let him take his men and find a place to camp in the military camp. You don't need to take them away.

Ryan frowned slightly. How could he not know what Aini was up to?

After being incorporated into the military camp, didn't Xu Lai become dough in other people's hands, and could be kneaded as he pleased?

Normally, Ryan and the others might not care, but what time is it now? That is when the orcs have an absolute advantage.

At this level, if they continue to do this, not only will the elves have thoughts in their minds, but their own morale will also plummet.

Without Ryan's reminder, Pierce said directly:

Our Temple Knights still lack a commander. Since Your Majesty the Earl has objections to this Xu Lai, why not give it to our Temple Knights?

Of course, the Knights of the Temple are not short of commanders, and Pierce is a proven, experienced, frontline commander with amazing combat effectiveness.

What they lack is commanders like Aini and Xu Lai who can give them extra attributes and status.

Every time they fight, the Temple Knights will attach themselves to a certain noble. This has almost become a routine, but now they have a new choice.

Although this choice is only level 14, there is still a full 8 levels gap from Count Ani.

Are you sure, Your Excellency? I inherited the cavalry talent passed down from my ancestors. Only by following me can you bring out your greatest combat power.

There is naturally a reason why Earl Aini was entrusted to the grassland. His ancestor was once a powerful hero, so he also inherited part of the heroic talent, which can make the fourth-level trainee knight and the fifth-level knight retinue have stronger combat effectiveness.

Since the empire was passed down to this day, there are many times more nobles than when the country was founded. Most of the nobles were canonized later and have no talent to pass on.

There are also some nobles who have diverted their talents during inheritance. For example, the talent of Count Aini's ancestors is to be a knight leader. In addition to the 4th and 5th level cavalry, there are 6th level, 7th level and horse archers such as rangers and heroes. , can all receive bonuses.

But in the process of breeding offspring, this powerful talent was continuously diverted as it was inherited by multiple children. In the end, only the 4th and 5th level cavalry talent inherited by Aini remained.

The nobility has always been passed down in one direction. Other members of the family who have inherited talents will not receive the title of nobility unless they establish their own family and gain military exploits again and are canonized.

Aini's words successfully caused Pierce to hesitate.

The Temple Knights do need a commander with additional attribute points, but if Xu Lai is too inferior to Aini, it will be equivalent to a disguised loss of their own strength.

At this moment, Crimson Archbishop Duer quietly used a voice transmission spell, instantly making Pierce firm.

Sorry, Count Aini, your behavior during this period makes it difficult for us to trust you again.

When the orcs first appeared in the grassland, the reserve troops were still isolated behind Pingfeng Mountain. If you are more decisive at this time and send out the knights to cooperate with us in the attack, the orcs will not be able to step into the grassland at all.

In the past few days, you have been very passive in preparing for war, and you are also full of hostility towards heroes, literally tearing apart the living forces of the human race.

Please forgive me that I can no longer trust you, and I can't just hand over those lively young men to such an irresponsible officer. I say goodbye.

Pierce has already had enough of this Earl. He feels that this guy is confused every day and really has no idea what the current situation is.

Every step he took was strongly promoted by the temple. Even if His Majesty the Pope hadn't personally written a letter to warn Aini, the count would still guard his big castle and refuse to go out.

Pierce is a knight who rushes to the front line. He has always had a straightforward personality. It is not easy for him to endure his outburst until now.

Archbishop Duer would not be so impulsive. He smiled and comforted Count Aini and said: Your Majesty, please don't mind. Pierswulf's character has always been irritable...

Does Ani not mind? Of course he does, but there is nothing he can do.

He is considered a powerful earl and still has a high status in the empire, but once Pingfeng Grassland is gone, he is just a polished commander.

There are countless people with various counts, marquises and even dukes in the empire. The Aled family alone has been canonized hundreds of dukes and marquises in recent years.

With a sullen face, he looked at Pierce, who was holding Xu Lai's shoulders as he left. He had already resented these two people for not giving him face.

Archbishop Duer on the side shook his head helplessly, also stood up to say goodbye, and left the high platform with Ryan.

As soon as Archbishop Duer left, the elf ranger felt quite bored. He didn't even bother to say hello and chased after Xu Lai and the others.

Count Aini's face became more and more gloomy, and he was not interested in continuing to host the investiture ceremony. He also got up and left.

The heroes in the audience who had not yet been decorated were crowded aside in embarrassment. Some people seemed to want to remind the earl, but no sound came out when the words came to their lips.

When passing by Mr. Inoue, Count Aini suddenly stopped and said to the people around him: Kick him out, and don't let me see him again in the future!

Due to the morale of the army and the view of the temple, Count Ani could not order the killing in public.

But when he saw this, the culprit who caused today's big trouble became angry and immediately ordered him to be driven out of the military camp.

Although Aini did not order the killing, the people under him were the best at observing people's actions. One could tell from Count Aini's tone that he was extremely dissatisfied with this person.

Therefore, when he drove Mr. Inoue to an uninhabited corner, he first beat him up violently, and then dug a hole somewhere and buried him until he was no longer human.

Since Count Ani said that he never wanted to see him again, it was of course the safest way to kill him. After all, a dead person could not be seen again.

Nobles generally care about their own image and will not do anything that damages their image. The nobility's henchmen have no such concerns at all.

Xu Lai didn't know it yet, but the target he secretly vowed to make the other party pay had already been buried in the ground.

He was hugged by the shoulders by the majestic 8th-level Holy Light Knight, and he was instantly too frightened to move. It was Knight Pierce who pushed him away from the school step by step.
