The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

As a last resort, Xu Lai went to personally invite Elena out and asked her to bring two priests, Tam and Jeffrey, to calm her down.

Wei Yihong had already disappeared without a trace. This guy lit the fire, but when he was about to put it out, he couldn't find anyone.

Fortunately, there are not many others in Qingfeng Town. There are a lot of high-level warriors. The group that Xu Lai just upgraded are all level 5 shooters at the lowest.

Of course, he also spent a lot of money for this, a total of 45,800 gold. Most of the gold coins he obtained by destroying the stronghold base camp were lost.

The base camp was originally poor. This base camp was very large, much larger than the Stone Fortress, but most of it was surrounded by open spaces and caves, not valuable buildings.

What's more, by destroying the base camp, Xu Lai could only harvest a quarter, the bulk of which was wood, and the gold coins were only more than 60,000.

There are not many gold coins left in Qingfeng Town, and infrastructure construction has not stopped during this period. It can be said that if Xu Lai comes back half a month later, Su Ya will have nothing left.

Therefore, after dumping a large amount of supplies, Xu Lai approached Wei Yihong and asked him to formally organize a caravan.

This time is not a trivial matter, but a caravan must be organized, including caravan escorts, packhorses for transporting supplies, purchasers, entourage, etc., all must be equipped.

Xu Lai was not here before, so Su Ya didn't dare to make the decision on some matters.

For this reason, Xu Lai had already severely criticized him when he was in bed last night, so much so that he didn't dare to come out to see anyone today.

Before Xu came, he asked little Aiboka to be the assistant to the mayor. As a result, the assistant was very busy during the day and at night. However, neither Su Ya nor Aiboka dared to give themselves a few more Assistant.

Including Aaron's side. When there were few people in the past, it was certainly enough for him to maintain law and order by himself.

But now that there are more and more people, especially this person's composition is becoming more and more complex, it seems inappropriate for him to be alone.

Fortunately, Su Ya also knew that this was not good, so she asked Jian Yuan to take his elite scouts to help Aaron, and even assigned the only seventh-level sword master to Jian Yuan.

However, the security team had enough force, but there were only two people with brains. This period of time was really hard.

Not to mention Wei Yihong and the others, he himself was authorized by Xu Lai. It was no problem to hire a few grooms to load the goods and take care of the horses. He had even made an agreement with the village chief of Laqi.

But Xu Lai pulled all the cavalry away, followed by Tahan and Yan Feng.

It was okay without Tahan. Xu Lai left him a guard captain after all, but the guard captain had no soldiers and could not recruit any high-quality subordinates. How could Wei Yihong dare to set off with the caravan casually.

Besides, the resources hoarded at home are not too many. They have hoarded some crystals and ores. The wood itself is not enough. They have also hoarded some food. Then there are a relatively large number of horses.

Therefore, the fact that the development of Qingfeng Town is not as good as that of Graim Village is not just a fundamental problem. The biggest problem is that Qingfeng Town does not have a real backbone and no one dares to make the decision.

This time, Xu Lai will take advantage of this opportunity to set the tone as soon as possible.

He plans to stay in Qingfeng Town for two days, wait until June is over, and after July arrives, he will take his trainee knights to sweep the surrounding area and leave.

Firstly, upgrading the fortress is a huge expense, so we should take advantage of this opportunity to quickly accumulate some wealth.

Secondly, by raising the level of the trainee knights, Xu Lai can safely lead them to the wilderness.

After all, the level of level 4 is still too low. At least upgrade it to level 5. Upgrading the mount to level 5 war horse can ensure that when being chased by fast troops, it will not be so easy to get dumped.

The San Lai stronghold camp is now at its most vulnerable time. If it is delayed for a long time and waits for others to regain their strength, then Xu Lai will be a snack delivered to his door, pure meat buns to beat the dog.

Therefore, Xu Lai really didn't have much time. The original relaxation plan could only be rejected again. This time, he took the time to do a few important things in advance.

First, give Su Ya a serious order to recruit some literate assistants and professionals among the refugees as soon as possible.

Xu Lai's Qingfeng Town is about to be upgraded to Qingfeng Fort. One or two people cannot run the entire fort.

The former should be enriched into the general office, and the office space is tentatively designated as the meeting hall, responsible for assisting Su Ya and Xiao Aiboka in their work.

The latter was divided between Urdora and Aaron, each of whom took down his own team first.

At present, the orcs have not been expelled from the country, and the human cavalry has suffered heavy losses and lost its greatest mobility.

And the three large towns of Stone Castle alone cannot support the long-term residence of a large number of people.

When Xu Lai and the others were here, ordinary civilians could only sleep on the roadside. Even if it was summer, many people might freeze to death over time.

Besides, there were too many people ahead, and food was a huge problem.

If Xu Lai were Count Aini, he would have given up the reinforcement work in the other two towns and only concentrated on building the Stone Castle.

By doing so, the demand for materials will be much smaller, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the rear and inhibit profiteers from constantly raising prices.

Secondly, there is no need for so many civilians on the front line. We just take advantage of the opportunity to divide the heroes, let them each take away some people, and finally the remaining ones have to move to the rear.

However, it is already the end of the month, and Count Aini may not make much action, otherwise if a large number of wild monsters are refreshed halfway, it will only lead to a large loss of population.

Therefore, Xu Lai estimates that in another week, there is likely to be a large population migration ahead.

After waiting for a week, even though there are still a large number of wild monsters along the way, their gathering group has stabilized and will not move around like No. 1 and No. 2.

At that time, even if the population moved on a large scale, it was relatively safe as long as there were no fools to provoke those wild monsters.

Xu Lai's area was still no man's land, and he didn't know whether Count Aini would announce his town.

Even though the other party seemed to be performing well that day, Xu Lai knew that from the bottom of their hearts, these veteran nobles probably didn't want them to develop and grow.

Therefore, Xu Lai must not only be prepared to welcome a large number of people, but also try its best to remove obstacles for population migration in advance.

The straight-line distance between Qingfeng Town and Hard Rock Castle takes one day by horseback. For ordinary people, it takes at least two to three days on foot. If you drag your family with you and pay homage, it can take three or four days.

Even if they can avoid wild monsters on such a long journey, what about the wild animals?

There are many wolves in the grassland. They don't dare to provoke towns or soldiers, but if they encounter the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children, they won't be polite to you.

In addition to prairie wolves, there are also cheetahs, lions, and even horses and bison herds that are threats, not to mention the horse thieves who roam the grasslands.

The methods Xu Lai could think of were, first, to set up a large number of signboards, and second, to have people pick them up in advance and prepare water, food, and torches along the way.

Wild animals are most afraid of fire, so prepare more wood and torches to help you sleep more peacefully at night.

Of course, it is impossible for him, a dignified lord, to do this kind of thing. Let Su Ya and little Aiboka do it. They can't do it even if they are used as three or four people.

Therefore, it is urgent to expand the administrative power, and the same is true for the caravan.

Today's Qingfeng Town only has inputs and almost no output. Even if there is a little output, there is no ability to realize it.

Without relying on caravans, Xu Lai would become the number one horse farm owner in the grassland. If he couldn't sell his horses, he wouldn't be able to make money.

Of course, he was still just giving instructions. The specific work and how to do it were still Su Ya, Wei Yihong and Urdola's business.

Xu Lai also had his own business to do. While Elena and the others were out and there was no need to use the church for the time being, Xu Lai hurried over to upgrade the sacred church.

The construction cost of the Holy Church is 5,000 gold coins and 10 units of crystal.

Fortunately for crystals, the criminals in the mine alone have brought more than a dozen units of crystals in the past half month. It's a pity that he has not been at home recently, otherwise the output of Aber crystals alone would be enough.

On the contrary, Xu Lai really felt bad for the 5,000 gold coins, but he had to spend it. He had been interested in the priests as a group for a long time.

There is no way, although this is a magical society, it still cannot change the fact that the level of education and civilization is not high.

Xu Lai has a good constitution and has never gotten sick so far. What about ordinary people? Maybe a small cold will kill you immediately.

The temple's priests are rare in number and can only be found in border villages. In other places, they can only be found in larger towns at least.

Moreover, priests are limited by mana, and the spells they can release in a day are limited. It is simply unrealistic for several priests to take care of an entire large town and the people in nearby towns and villages.

There are not many people in Qingfeng Town at present. One priest and two priests are enough. What about the future?

Do you expect support from the temple? It's unlikely. Pierce and the others have just finished their battle with the orcs and were immediately transferred away without stopping. Where will there be any support?

Otherwise, how could the temple just give him such a drawing because of its good relationship with Xu Lai? If they really wanted to compensate and thank him, even if the temple couldn't afford the gold coins, wouldn't there still be few treasures?

The high-level treasures were given away as they were promised. Although Xu Lai agreed to go, he did not say when he would go, nor how long he would go, nor how much trouble it would cause to the orcs.

It can be seen that the temple is still very lavish. Not to mention high-end treasures, there are probably a lot of holy objects.

The construction of the holy church was extremely fast, and it was built as soon as the gold coins were available.

Compared with the previous church, the Holy Church is much larger, and its area has more than doubled, but the front part is still a traditional church that can be accessed by ordinary people.

Xu Lai needs to take a detour or pass directly in front to reach the place where priests are recruited.

The Holy Church provides five level 3 priest apprentices every month, and the price is not expensive. Each one costs 200 gold coins, which is only 50 gold more expensive than a level 3 archer. It should be much cheaper than the cavalry anyway.

It will be July in two days. Before July comes, he must build and upgrade all the recruitment buildings to avoid missing out on the recruitment quota. (End of chapter)
