The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

This upgrade is not as fast as the last one.

The last time Xu Lai had just upgraded in front of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom to join the battle, so he should have gained more than half of his experience by three levels.

This time, although Xu Lai improved by two levels, his experience bar actually only increased by one level and about 60%.

But in fact, today's battle is much more dangerous and difficult than the charge some time ago.

In the previous charge, Xu Lai was well protected. Today, not only did his own physical strength and the physical strength of the war horse be exhausted, but after using a physical strength potion, he also had very little physical strength left.

There were countless cuts all over his body, and the magical armor with astonishing defense had countless scars.

Fortunately, the magical armor was not completely destroyed. As long as Xu returned to his Qingfeng Town and rested in the meeting hall, he could still recover on his own.

The two-level attributes improved this time, one point is added to the physique, and the other point is added to the agility.

The improvement in level and physique, coupled with the newly added treasure Vitality Holy Bottle, allowed Xu Lai's health to break through the 250 level, reaching as high as 265 points.

The blackjack physique also made his orange health bar and stamina bar accelerate toward a green health state.

With the blessing of equipment, Xu Lai's agility is actually not low. After increasing by 1 point, it has reached 20 points, and he can add 5 more points when he reaches Qingfeng Town's sphere of influence.

Upgrading also brings the opportunity for two specialization upgrades. The first upgrade is a choice between intermediate logistics and basic tactics.

There is no doubt that Xu Lai chose intermediate logistics.

[Intermediate Logistics Technique]: Increases the movement speed and supply speed of the entire army by 20%, and activates the additional effect of Logistics Technique Supply.

Supplies: The upper limit of the load of all soldiers in the army is increased by 10%, and the upper limit of the load of livestock is increased by 20%.

The maximum load capacity of humans is increased by 10%, and that of livestock is increased by 20%, which means that each person can carry several more units of food or arrows and other heavy objects, which can indeed greatly improve the supply capacity.

In addition, the intermediate logistics technique can also increase the movement speed of the entire army by 10%. This improvement is still an improvement in basic attributes. It would be better if the basic movement speed could be increased.

In the second upgrade, no new specialization appeared. Xu Lai was asked to choose between master-level leadership skills and advanced archery skills.

To be honest, Xu Lai was still confused about this choice.

[Master Leadership Technique]: The morale of the entire army is +7, the additional effect of activating the leadership technique is 3, and the morale loss rate of one's own side is reduced by 50%.

[Advanced Archery]: +30% damage to long-range troops, including long-range equipment such as crossbows and catapults, and activates the additional effect of archery 2. The amount of ammunition of your own archers, crossbowmen, and horse archers increases by 10%.

If it were before, Xu Lai would have chosen advanced archery long ago. The 30% long-range damage would be a terrifying increase.

What's more, the additional effects attached to advanced archery are also good. The average level of the archers brought by Xu Lai is level 6. Almost everyone carries 8.90 ammunition, and 10% is nearly 10 arrows.

The archers will have a little less because they only have one quiver, but they still have 4 or 5 more arrows. Even if they advance by one level, they may not necessarily have such a big improvement.

The only pity is that more ammunition cannot be provided for mages. After all, mages use spells and consume mana, although their long-range damage can also be enhanced by advanced archery.

But after experiencing these two large-scale battles, Xu Lai gave up advanced archery and chose master-level leadership instead.

Compared with advanced leadership skills, master-level leadership skills only increase morale by 2 points, which is not much, but the additional effects of leadership skills are extremely important.

Reduce morale and speed by 50%, which is really important in large-scale battles.

The larger the scale of the battle, the more difficult it is to decide the outcome in a short period of time, especially as time passes, everyone will feel hungry and tired, and the loss of morale is inevitable.

At this time, if there is a large-scale spell, or the advantage of long-range troops is used to cause large-scale damage before the two sides engage with the enemy, without this effect, the entire army may directly collapse.

Neither of the two large-scale battles could be ended in a short time, and neither could be won by killing all the opponents.

In both battles, one side's morale collapsed first and a large-scale rout occurred before the other side won.

After comprehensive consideration, Xu Lai chose Master Leadership. The war between humans and orcs has just begun and is far from over.

Not to mention anything else, this time in the stronghold camp, in addition to the nearly annihilation of the flying corps, Talosi and his trusted wolf cavalry escaped at least tens of thousands.

The rest of the orc warriors who escaped scatteredly, as well as the Cyclops whose losses were not large, and a small number of Behemoths and Behemoths.

These alone are already a huge force, not to mention that the orcs will have a steady stream of support from behind.

The Stubborn Castle was also in chaos, with broken troops and officers running around everywhere.

The battlefield was even more chaotic. After Xu Lai gathered his own horses and those of the Temple Knights, he still had hundreds of extra horses that came from nowhere.

Anyway, there was chaos now, so Xu Lai simply drove them all back to the Temple Knights' station. Even if someone came to find them, he asked them to negotiate with Pierce.

Thanks to Pierce's help, Xu Lai gained a lot from destroying the stronghold base camp, and the supply truck was full of wood.

There is no way, the stronghold is also short of stones. Although they are backed by the Pingfeng Mountains, they are short of labor, so it is more convenient to cut wood.

By destroying the base camp, Xu Lai could get a quarter of the supplies in return, but there was too much wood to hold, so Xu Lai had to reluctantly give up most of it.

Compared with wood, stone is more difficult to collect and more precious on the grassland.

What's more, the stronghold base camp exploded two town-level castle hearts for him. With his own two, he can build a fortress at any time.

In fact, when Pierce and the others come back, Xu Lai plans to go back to Qingfeng Town and let Su Ya and the others build the fortress first. He has a lot of wood, stones and gold coins here.

There is no use in accumulating these things here. Only by spending them can he improve his strength.

Pierce and the others would definitely not be able to come back in a short time, but Xu Lai didn't have much time to spare. As soon as he packed away the bodies of Tahan and others, an unexpected guest appeared outside his big tent.

Strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to say that he is a guest, because the other party is a member of the temple, and Xu Lai can only be counted as half at most.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

After being promoted to Archangel, Ryan became much younger, but his appearance basically did not change much.

The two pairs of golden wings were folded up and covered in the relatively spacious robe.

Compared with before, there are two more golden rings on Ryan's wrist, where the sacred sword given by the God of War can be ejected at any time.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Lai always felt that after becoming an archangel, Ryan had a holy smell in him, which could help him calm down from his anger.

I have discussed it with Mr. Pierce. I can ignore the others, but please help me resurrect Tahan.

This was the second time Xu Lai made this request, and this time he finally got a satisfactory answer.

“This battle is over, His Majesty the God of War is very satisfied with us, and dozens more brothers have been promoted to Archangels.

Not counting Bishop Duer, we have a total of 80 archangels who have mastered the resurrection technique.

Fortunately, we do not need to be limited by spell effects like those who recruit angels. Our spells come from our own penance and the blessings from the God of War.

Although the resurrection spell can still only be released once a day, the upper limit of life that can be resurrected each time is much higher than those of recruiting angels.

Xu Lai finally had a smile on his face and said, So, even the paladins and knights under my command can be resurrected?

Ryan smiled bitterly and shook his head: Of course it's not that simple. After 24 hours of a living corpse, the soul will completely dissipate and the corpse will completely lose its vitality.

Moreover, the corpse cannot be placed in a space container, otherwise the extra-dimensional space will instantly kill all the vitality in the corpse.

You also know that it is not easy for the temple to cultivate a knight, so we need to reserve the resurrection quotas today and tomorrow for the temple knights.

I came here just to ask for your opinion. After all, I promised you before.

Xu Lai sighed and said, I've already told Pierce, as long as we can save Tahan, just give up when others give up.

Ryan bowed to Xu Lai and said softly: I won't say any more unnecessary nonsense. This battle with the stronghold camp is thanks to you, and I would like to thank you on my behalf.

Moreover, if you are willing to wait, I can summon other archangels the day after tomorrow to hold another resurrection ceremony for you, but I am afraid it will have to be carried out on the road.

Xu Lai was stunned and said: Ah, hold it again? Doesn't it mean that the corpse will be useless after 24 hours?

Ryan smiled and said: That's for living people, and your subordinates are not living people.

And give it a try? Even if you fail, it's just a loss of mana. It's worth trying.

Xu Lai said gratefully: High Priest Ryan, oh no, I should call you Archangel Ryan. I am really grateful to you.

Ryan smiled and said: Your Honor Knight, please don't be grateful yet, I don't have much confidence.

It's just that there are indeed examples of success in the temple's records, but most attempts fail, and the probability is not high.

Xu Lai also smiled and said: It all depends on human effort. I did everything I could do. Even if I fail in the end, I won't blame anyone.

Ryan nodded and said: That's the truth. Let me take Knight Tahan's body away first.

Xu Lai also bowed and said thanks: Please!

After Ryan left, Xu Lai recalled what Ryan had said before and felt that the key to resurrection should be the soul and vitality.

Soul, as Ryan said, his subordinates are all recruited and have no mind, so there should be no so-called soul.

As for vitality, Xu Lai believes that the so-called extra-dimensional space should be similar to outer space or something, and there may be so-called radiation to kill all the cells in the human body.

Of course, in the world of magic, it seems unreasonable to apply scientific explanations.

But again, it all depends on human effort. There are also records of success in the records of the temple.

Thinking of this, Xu Lai immediately shouted: Dil!
