The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Early the next morning, Xu Lai got up out of habit after relaxing for most of the night.

Originally, he wanted to be lazy, sleep in and relax, but he had only been in the different world for two months, and he had already developed a biological clock of going to bed early and getting up early.

Habit is really a terrible thing, so terrible that even if Xu Lai lies in bed for one second longer, he will feel a serious sense of guilt.

It seems like yesterday that he got up early to practice exercises with the paladins every day. When he woke up this morning, he fell into the gentle land again.

Yu Lan brought hot water early and used the softest cashmere towel to gently wipe Xu Lai's arms and cheeks.

While wiping, Yu Lan said distressedly: Lang Jun is much rougher, and his face is also much darker.

Although he is Chinese, his skin is extremely fair because he was slightly fat before he came.

After coming to another world, this did not change at all. Even because of his greatly increased physique, ordinary sun exposure could not damage his skin at all.

However, no matter how strong his physique is, he cannot withstand the weather in June. He spends the entire day training and fighting like crazy outside.

It's okay from the neck down, and at least the whole body is still wrapped in armor. The dragon's tooth crown on the head is handsome, but the protective ability and defensive area are a bit less interesting.

Ah? Has it turned black into carbon?

Yu Lan chuckled and said: That's not the case, but even if you turn black to carbon, I won't be able to bear to throw you into the furnace.

Xu Lai rolled his eyes, slapped Yu Lan's soft buttocks hard, and said: Go, go, go, you are so busy washing, do I still have to go out today?

Go help me call Giselle and the others to the training ground. Your husband will also give you a big reward today.

You don’t have to listen to other people’s reports, and there’s no point in rejecting your own woman’s reports.

What's more, the battle last night was extremely fierce. Xu Lai's fighting ability was indeed amazing after drinking a little wine. However, one against two was no match after all, and he needed to use something else to cover up the embarrassment of losing the battle.

Therefore, Xu Lai actually had a basic understanding of the development of Qingfeng Town in the past half month last night.

Except for Wei Yihong and others who are in charge of the caravan, there has been little movement these days. Aaron, who is in charge of security, and Little Aiboka, who is helping Su Ya, have performed relatively well.

Needless to say, Su Ya and Yu Lan were his women, and Su Ya could directly replace him as the mistress of Qingfeng Town.

Others like Jian Yuan who stayed behind, Tahan who went to fight with Xu Lai and helped Xu Lai save his life, Yan Feng and others are also among their own people.

However, there is no so-called loyalty for others in front of Xu Lai, and Xu Lai can only control it himself.

Judging from Xu Lai's not too rich social experience, appropriate rewards are a good way to increase other people's enthusiasm for work.

Of course, with rewards comes punishment, but it's still the early days of starting a business. Not to mention that Xu Lai is still very satisfied with these people. Even if he is dissatisfied with something, he is not willing to punish him.

Not long after, when Xu Lai came to the training ground after breakfast, except Su Ya, who was presiding over the work, everyone else arrived, including the knights and shooters Xu Lai brought back.

In fact, they are today's protagonists. When he was in Stone Castle before, Xu Lai didn't want to attract attention, so he temporarily suppressed the promotion of these people.

When he came back last night, he was resurrected first and then celebrated. He didn't even have time to unload the equipment and supplies in the space backpack, so naturally he couldn't take care of it.

Therefore, we took advantage of this opportunity to pull them all out for collective promotion, which not only gave Wei Yihong and other outsiders confidence, but also shocked them.

After bringing back 50 trainee knights, Xu Lai's cavalry team finally formed a certain size.

However, these 50 level 4 trainee knights are all fresh recruits with no experience at all, let alone advancement.

Although advancement is none of their business, it is perfectly suitable to be used as an honor guard.

The shock caused by the sight of 60 knights riding tall horses and wearing identical armor, walking side by side on the wide road of Qingfeng Town, was no less shocking than the townspeople of Qingfeng Town who had just heard the news yesterday that humans had defeated the orcs. .

To be honest, those who escaped were mostly old people, women and children. The young and middle-aged people wanted to run away, but most of the nobles refused.

Once a young man is caught by a soldier on the road, the result is often that he will be sent directly to the death squads and let them charge to the front line of fighting the orcs.

Therefore, ordinary young people do not dare to run away. That is to say, when the orc flying soldiers attack the human defense line, a large number of young people take the opportunity to flee.

In addition, Su Ya adhered to Xu Lai's will and the management of Qingfeng Town was extremely loose, so both sides of the road were soon crowded with women and children watching.

It's a pity that these are just recruiting soldiers and have no response to the cheers of the residents on both sides.

Yan Feng, who was last, just whistled casually, which immediately attracted cheers from a bunch of girls and women around him.

In addition to the 50 recruits, Xu Lai's cavalry team also included two paladins.

However, it is a pity that only one of the two paladins can advance, that is, the paladin who can barely save 1 life with the ultimate defense skill and survives until the end of the battle.

Another paladin died too early and could not wait for the reward bonus from the battle settlement, so he could only stop at level 7 for the time being.

The upgrade fee for the Holy Light Knight is extremely exaggerated, requiring a full 5,000 gold coins. Fortunately, no other conditions are required.

[Holy Light Knight]: A level 8 holy knight unit blessed by the God of War. Each person consumes 2 units of food per day, and has a mana value of 2000.

Feature 1: Blessing of the God of War, you can release some sacred spells by consuming mana during combat.

Spell List: 1. Lay on Hands

2. Punishment

3. Blessings

4. Holy Shield

5. Sacred Armor: Give nearby allies a sacred armor, immune to all attacks and spells, lasting one minute.

Mana consumption: 800, can only be released once a day, and can be released to up to 18 units at a time.

6. Focus aura: Centered on oneself, it gives surrounding allies the ability to focus, and the whole body armor is +5.

Note: The focus halo is a halo effect without any additional consumption. It can be automatically turned off, and the coverage radius is 500 meters.

7. Sacrifice: Burn life to launch a charge. During the charge, the speed and damage are doubled. It does not bear any physical or magical damage, but the health value will continue to be lost at a rate of 1 point per second, and cannot be healed or actively terminated.

Note: The speed and damage bonus obtained through sacrifice are increased again based on the charging characteristics and are not affected by the upper limit.

Note 2: The sacrifice does not bear physical or magical damage, and will be affected by control skills such as dizziness and interruption caused by skills or spells, but the control time is forced to be halved.

Note 3: This skill can only be used once per month.

Characteristic 2: Paladin. When the paladin appears in the team, it can dispel the fear of evil, and all friendly units have a morale +3. (The effects of multiple paladin do not overlap, and the highest value is taken.)

Feature 3: Charge, after use, the movement speed is increased by 160%, the physical consumption of the mount is increased by 100%, and the damage of the knight's followers is increased by 10% for every 15 meters moved, with an upper limit of 300% (the captain's specialties can be superimposed)

Characteristic 4: Knight skills. Knights have mastered various skills and can freely switch defense, attack and other postures (follower characteristics, attributes are slightly improved)

Feature 5. Rune armor. The Holy Light Knight can wear rune armor. The weight of the armor is reduced by 20%, and the physical damage taken is reduced by 20%.

Compared with the Paladin, the Holy Light Knight's armor is obviously thicker, but neither the Holy Light Knight nor the horse on his hip has as high a burden as the Paladin.

The Holy Light Knight is equipped with a level 8 super lance, a holy light shield, a sacred sword, and a pure white holy war horse that surpasses the noble war horse and has the combat capability of a level 7 nightmare horse.

If this guy were to equip his war horse with a pair of wings, it would be even more powerful and difficult to find an opponent for.

Of course, the cost of building the Holy Light Knight is not cheap. The cost of upgrading it from level to level alone is almost 10,000 gold coins. If there is a recruitment building, it is estimated that each one will be at least 30,000 to 40,000.

In addition to the Holy Light Knights, the five level 6 knights who Xu Lai died in battle and resurrected can now all be advanced. Xu Lai even spent another 10,000 gold coins on the spot to promote five level 7 paladins.

At this point, Xu Lai has 1 eighth-level Holy Light Knight and 6 Paladins. Even if they don't count the Rangers, the heroes and the others are stronger than the Paladin team left at the Stone Castle.

It's a big pity that the 7th-level hero can no longer be promoted. Otherwise, in such a big battle, how could there be one more 8th-level horse archer?

But the four level 6 heroes were all promoted. With the help of another 8,000 gold coins, they collectively advanced to level 7 heroes, bringing the number of heroes to 11, including Yan Feng, who was exactly 12.

The last ones to be upgraded were the 10 trainee knights assigned to him by Count Aini.

Even though they were all dead in one battle, because they were of a low level and took advantage of their charge to kill several orc warriors of a higher level than them, their experience points were all fully charged.

Trainee knights have no other way to advance, they can only be promoted to level 5 knight retinue, but it doesn't matter, the survivability of level 5 knight retinue has been greatly improved.

The upgrade cost for one knight retinue is 400 gold, and for 10 knights, it is 4,000 gold.

But this is not over yet. There is one last person in the cavalry unit who has not been promoted, that is Tahan, who died once for Xu Lai.

Tahan obtained the qualification to be promoted to the eighth-level heroic knight from the seventh-level great knight. The price is much smaller than that of the holy light knight. It only requires 3,200 gold coins, but it requires additional high-level resources, 1 unit of crystal.

Compared with the Holy Light Knight who focuses more on defense, the Valiant Knight advocates attack more.

The configuration is the same as that of the Holy Knight, including a lance, heavy sword and knight's kite-shaped shield. The noble war horse under his crotch is one level higher than Xu Lai's noble horse, but it is inferior to the Holy Light Knight's holy war horse.

After advancing to the heroic knight, Tahan gained two extremely important features in addition to the original enhanced charge, knight skills, and heavy plate armor features that did not reduce the load but also reduced physical damage by 20%.

Heroic Aura: Centered on oneself, giving courage to surrounding allies, morale +3, and attack power +3.

Note: The heroic halo is a halo effect without any additional consumption. It can be automatically turned off, and the coverage radius is 500 meters.

Brave and fearless: All damage sustained during the charge will be converted into one's own attack ability, which needs to be accumulated again after making an attack.

Note: The treatment received during the charge does not affect the attack power stack, and there is no upper limit for the stack.
