The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

“Great werewolves and lizardmen, even if they are purchased as slaves, the price is not low.

You have nearly 600 of them here, and they are all extremely strong. It should be easy to price them at 3.50 gold coins.

At 50 gold each, 600 is equivalent to 30,000 gold coins.

Of course, your werewolves and lizardmen must be more than this price. They are not slaves after all.

I am willing to add this item and 6 rangers, buy the archer tower blueprint, two village-level castle hearts, and the life amulet from you.

To be honest, Xu Lai planned to leave the life amulet with 150 health points and the life stone to his two generals.

I just said it just because I wanted to use the high health value of 150 points of the life amulet to stimulate Luo Mingru.

Well, the value of what you want is not low. Are you sure the value of this prop is worthy of it?

What Xu Lai wants most now is undoubtedly the escape route for the orc heroes.

It's a pity that none of the three heroes killed on the battlefield exploded.

This is not surprising. If someone explodes, why not just use it before death?

There were also the two who were transferred to Kuba City. Xu Lai had never been embarrassed to kill them, but when the orcs attacked the city, Harris immediately sacrificed these two heroes.

As a result, apart from handing over some low-level treasures and equipment to Xu Lai again, nothing was gained.

Xu Lai, on the other hand, has no interest in low-level treasures such as the Warrior Order, the Centaur Battle Axe, and the Dwarf King's Shield, and there is no room for their equipment on his body.

Although the centaur battle ax can increase the attack power of the entire army by 2 points, Xu Lai believes that the effect of the blade of destruction and the ax of storm will be more obvious.

Luo Mingru smiled bitterly and said frankly: I don't know if it's worth it. You can see for yourself.

[Phantom Divine Bow Synthesis Scroll]: Tear this scroll to release magical power. You can combine the Tree Elf Bow (elementary treasure), Divine Beast Mane (intermediate treasure), and Sky Feather Arrow (advanced treasure) into the Phantom Divine Bow.

[Phantom Divine Bow]: Holy weapon, 1. After equipping this holy weapon, hero archery specialization +30%.

2. Allow your own long-range troops to carry out long-range attacks at any time, even if the opponent is already close to the long-range troops.

3. Make your own long-range troops completely unaffected by distance and obstacles when attacking from a distance.

Note: The Archery Specialization effect of this equipment requires that the hero equipped with it has Archery Specialization.

Basic attributes:

Attack power: 88-134 (after superimposing Tianyu Arrow, the attack power increases by 45 points)

Range: 300 meters basic range, every 1 point of strength provides an additional 20 meters (half while riding) range.

Quantity: 30 (recover 1 Sky Feather Arrow every 2 minutes)

Weight Bearing (Full Set): 30 points.

Xu Lai silently looked at the properties of the scroll for a while, then decisively stuffed it into his backpack and said: Deal!

After obtaining the sacred blood bottle, Xu Lai knew that ordinary treasures, even high-level treasures, were all rubbish compared to sacred artifacts.

The three major accessories of the Phantom Bow together provide a total of 30% of the archery skills.

Now Xu Lai's archery skills have reached a high level. If he waits for the Phantom Bow to get the accessories, his archery skills may have been upgraded to the final level, increasing the long-range damage by 50%.

When the time comes, coupled with the Phantom Bow, the combat effectiveness of the long-range troops will be doubled.

The other two attributes, whether it is the ability to use long-range weapons to counterattack at any time, or the ability to ignore distance and obstacles, are very helpful skills for shooters.

As we all know, the characteristics and skills of a shooter are all about long-range capabilities. If the enemy gets close and uses short-handed counterattacks, the damage and skills will be reduced by unknown amounts.

Once a long-range weapon is used to counterattack at close range, the archery ability alone will add 80% damage, which is equivalent to no reduction in damage at all.

Of course, Xu Lai still doesn't know how to do it, but it doesn't prevent him from understanding it.

This is especially true when it comes to ignoring distance and obstacles. When Giselle upgraded to Phantom Shooter, she had a feature like the Phantom Heavy Bow.

Moreover, with this scroll, Xu Lai only has two accessories left, which is equivalent to 50% completion at once.

Of all the holy artifacts, the scrolls have always been the most difficult to obtain, followed by the high-end accessories inside, because these two are the least in quantity.

Xu Lai has an elementary one and the most difficult scroll to obtain. In terms of difficulty, it is 50% completed.

If Xu Lai misses such a good opportunity, he will definitely regret it in the future.

What's more, if Luo Mingru is not given any benefits, he will not be able to trouble others anymore.

After all, he was the local snake, and Xu Lai didn't want to lead a large army around, so he had to trouble him with a very important matter.

You're saying you want to rent our land temporarily.

Yes, after your village is upgraded to a small town level, it will have a lot of extra land.

Instead of leaving these lands empty, why not lend them to me for a few days? You only need to provide permission to build farms and houses. I will bear half of all the costs of building the farms, and all the labor will be borne by me.

That way, when we're gone, you can get lots of farms and homes for half the price.

Of course, during the period of renting, the right to use the house is mine, and all the harvest on the land is also mine, and I can no longer pay you taxes.

Plants in the magical world can grow in 24 hours. Although the output is much less than that on Earth, the overall harvest is much greater than that of modern scientific management.

The most important thing is that you can plant and collect at any time. As long as you have enough land and rations that can last 24-36 hours, it will be difficult for people to starve to death.

In the early stage, land needs to be cleared, so the time may be a little longer at the beginning. It is impossible for one person to farm without taking a break, so it will take at least 8 hours more.

Anyway, the longest time is only 36 hours. You can't starve to death even if you want to. Of course, the premise is that you need enough seeds.

The reason why Xu Lai wanted to use Luo Mingru's small town was because only small towns could build farms.

Otherwise, an ordinary farmland can only harvest 10 units of food in 24 hours. He also has about 2,000 humans and elves, which is equivalent to consuming at least 2,000 units of food every day.

Including his soldiers, 2,500 units a day can only make ends meet, and 3,000 units can be enough to eat.

This requires at least 300 pieces of farmland, plus Luo Mingru's own needs, at least 500 pieces of farmland must be prepared.

In addition to this, a large number of houses have to be built.

It is difficult for the castle heart of an ordinary village to cover such a huge area.

Luo Mingru thought for a moment and said, It sounds like a good idea, but I haven't obtained the permission to build a town yet.

Greenwood Town does not have the qualifications to be an affiliated town. If I want to build a town, I must be attached to Viscount Notting, or a baron designated by Viscount Notting.

In this way, I can gain his protection, take up a position in his territory, and accumulate merit.

I can't give up my long-term plans just because of some short-term interests.

Because he was worried that Xu Lai would be angry, Luo Mingru thought carefully before answering.

Xu Lai was not angry, but he did not give up either. Instead, he smiled and said:

“More than 2,000 people are crammed into the village. It’s a bit crowded and there will be a serious waste of resources, but we should be able to survive even if it’s crowded.

If you really don't want to upgrade, I won't force you.

But I have to tell you, it’s not possible to follow your line of thinking.

If I were you, I would definitely choose to advance first.

When Viscount Notting comes back, you will pay the tax according to the most abundant town tax standard. Do you think Viscount Notting, who is in urgent need of a large amount of resources at that time, will acquiesce in your town authority?

Luo Mingru thought for a while and said, It's also possible that Viscount Nordin returned with a great victory and directly killed the chickens to scare the monkeys to attack me.

Xu Lai sneered and said, You're so scared. If he comes to attack you, the worst you can do is dig out the heart of the castle and run away.

Besides, in the current situation, it's hard to say whether he can come back alive.

Although Xu Lai didn't know the specific battle situation now, he had been in contact with the senior officials of the temple before, and the information he obtained was much more important than Luo Mingru.

At best, Luo Mingru only knew that the situation was not good, but Xu Lai had learned from Duer that the situation was critical a month ago.

The reason why the Northern Empire can still be maintained now is probably thanks to Xu Lai and the others. Otherwise, if Duer and the others were unable to return reinforcements in time, the entire Northern Empire would probably fall.

In this regard, Xu Lai also heard from the Sheriff just now that various towns and villages have reported sightings of demons recently.

The demons are plundering people everywhere and using mountain fortresses to hoard high-quality troops.

Now, the empire can only take advantage of its home field to try to fight a war of attrition with the devil.

With the war of attrition, the war cannot be stopped for a while. Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen himself, Luo Mingru is timid and sees limited future development.

Therefore, after Xu Lai said this, he didn't bother to talk more.

At worst, he would cultivate some fields and build some houses outside the village, which would just be slower.

They had just bought 16,000 units of food from Green Forest Town, and with Xu Lai's own reserves, it would not be a big problem for them to eat for more than a week.

There are several villages near Green Forest Town. If Xu Lai goes to fight the autumn wind, his survival will definitely be no problem.

If that doesn't work, Xu Lai can let go of his castle heart.

But he didn't want to waste resources, and he was also worried that if it was too late to deal with the village, it would cause the time and space gate to be cast incorrectly.

Moreover, if he wants to build a village locally, he will definitely offend other nearby villages and Viscount Notting.

He doesn't plan to stay there permanently, he is just temporarily settling in to follow his subjects, which is totally unnecessary.

Luo Mingru was very moved by Xu Lai, but Xu Lai no longer planned to wait for him to make a decision.

After completing the transaction with Luo Mingru, Xu Lai called Harris and asked him to take the humans and elves to Luo Mingru's village first.

The total number of giant werewolves and lizard people left behind was 580, which was 20 less than the 600.

They still don't know that Xu Lai was traded to Luo Mingru without their knowledge.

After all, they had fought side by side before, and Xu Lai couldn't do anything like throwing people away and running away, so he kept them and chose to come forward in person to give them an explanation. (End of chapter)
