The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Chapter 312 Taking office as the Sixth Knights

The general personally beat the drums to gather troops, and even the knights standing guard at the gate heard the sound and gathered in the school grounds.

Xu Lai stood on the high platform and counted the time in his mind, which was less than 150 seconds. The last eight knights stood still in the middle of the team.

The entire assembly process takes less than 3 minutes.

Although they are now in a state of combat readiness and all knights are wearing armor during the day, this speed is still extremely fast.

The knight's agility is not very high to begin with, and now there is no hero bonus, and he is wearing heavy armor, which further affects his speed.

Before the assembly, no one knew what they were doing, in case there were still knights going to the toilet.

Without any advance notice, the impromptu drum beating and gathering of troops can make everyone put down their matters immediately, and it only takes two and a half minutes to run to the school field and line up in order.

To put it bluntly, even if those knights recruited like robots can be faster, better, and neater than these knights, their advantages are extremely limited.

The standards of these knights are almost the same as those of robots, and can almost be considered harsh.

However, Xu Lai, who was condescending, did not see fatigue or dissatisfaction on the faces of these knights. It was obvious that they had already adapted to such harshness.

Brothers and sisters, I have called you here today to introduce to you a new member of our Sixth Knights.

He is an honorary knight recognized by the God of War and the former leader of the Eighth Knights. He led the Eighth Knights to capture the flag and destroy the frontline base of the stronghold camp.

More than a month ago, he led his cavalry alone into the wilderness to conduct raids, destroying countless cities and villages, and forcing the stronghold to withdraw troops.

When he learned of the demon's atrocities, he teleported back to the Northern Empire without hesitation. A few days ago, he successfully killed the demon's senior general Fiona.

Now, he will replace me as the legion commander and commander of our Sixth Knights.

From now on, you will obey His Excellency Xu Lai's command and act on your own. No one is allowed to disobey His Excellency Xu Lai's military orders, otherwise he will be punished according to military law!

Standing behind Lina, Xu Lai became more and more guilty as he listened, thinking that he was going to be roasted on the fire.

Perhaps it is because the leader is a female knight. Although the entire Sixth Knights is still dominated by male knights, there are also a lot of female knights. It is conservatively estimated that there should be about one-third.

Standing at the front are naturally the core members of the Sixth Knights, a total of 80 paladins and 320 official knights.

Coupled with more than 600 level 5 knight retinues and more than 800 level 4 trainee knights, the entire Sixth Knight Order has a total of nearly 2,000 knights.

Of course, at this time we also include Xu Lai's three cavalry squadrons, with almost 2,500 men, and all of them are horse knights.

After Lina finished speaking, she simply gave up her position, highlighting Xu Lai who had been standing on the stage.

This is to ask Xu Lai to come out and lecture. However, the Knights of the Temple are different from the general army. There is no concept of superiors and subordinates. At most, there are only differences in positions. Everyone is a believer under the Temple of War.

Therefore, Lena spoke of her brothers and sisters.

Xu Lai was not used to this method, so he coughed and said rather awkwardly:

Hello everyone, I am Xu Lai. In the future, I will temporarily serve as the leader of our Sixth Knights.

Before coming, I had already applied to Archbishop Wright for the task of hunting down Hell's senior general, Aulima.

This mission will be officially implemented from tomorrow, and there will only be 15 days. During the mission, the cities along the way will provide us with supplies as much as possible.

But if the mission fails, we will all be punished.

Everyone has been fighting in the Northern Empire for a long time. I believe you know more about Aulima's situation than I, a newcomer.

However, I am still more confident about this mission.

I hope that all of us can have a deeper understanding of each other through this mission.

To be honest, I just want to use this mission to hone us. A mere Olimar is not the goal of our Sixth Knights.

The Abyss Lord Serron who has occupied Norwalk Mountain, the mountain fortress, and holds the artifact Doomsday Blade, is what we need to eliminate.

After speaking, all the knights in the audience fell silent.

Xu Lai became more and more embarrassed. He coughed and continued:

I've said all I have to say. Let's have a good rest today. We'll set off early tomorrow. Dismiss everyone.

With a wave of his hand, the command of the Sixth Knights was officially transferred from Lina's hands to Xu Lai.

At the same time, Xu Lai's specialization and talent also began to take effect on these knights.

Ultimate offensive skills, ultimate defensive skills, logistics skills, archery skills, leadership skills, path-finding skills and resistance skills can all be embodied in them.

This does not include treasures and talents. With talents, attack speed and movement speed will be increased by 20%. Treasures can increase a lot of attack, defense and a lot of health.

Basically, it can be said that these knights just changed their leadership, and their overall combat effectiveness increased by at least 50%.

It is precisely because of such a terrifying bonus that the temple's senior officials ignored the wishes of several Holy Light Knights and insisted on finding a new leader for these Holy Knights.

However, the Knights of the Moving Temple cannot be commanded by just any new leader.

Every knight order is formed with the Holy Light Knight as the center. The Holy Light Knight is the core of the core. How can ordinary heroes take away their command rights.

When Xu Lai served as the leader of the Eighth Knights, he was a pure buff tool.

The difference is that at that time, he was self-aware, and he only cooperated from the beginning to the end without saying any nonsense.

This also allowed him to get along harmoniously with everyone in the Eighth Knights, and they even helped him with military training for free.

But this time, Xu Lai asked Lina for the command.

Moreover, Ren Lina also kept her word. She not only gave up her superficial position as the leader of the regiment to Xu Lai, but actually made a statement that she wanted to engage in military law.

Therefore, when Xu Lai said dismissal, no matter whether they were convinced or not, in front of Xu Lai and Lina, they had no choice but to leave first.

However, not everyone left. There were a total of 20 teams in the Sixth Knights, and all team captains stayed.

It seems that you still have something to say to me. It doesn't matter, I just have a task to arrange.

Let's not stay outside and go to the big tent.

Although it is a temporary camp, after all, after staying there for more than a month, many necessary facilities have been built.

The big tent was originally a large tent used by Lina for military meetings. Later, it was built into a large wooden house, which was windproof and waterproof, but it was still called a big tent.

In the big tent, a military map of the Northern Empire was hung behind the wall, but no matter how big the map was, it only covered half of the wall, and was far less intuitive than the huge sand table in the tent.

Different from the sand table in Xu Lai's impression, the sand table in the other world may be affected by magic. The terrain, landforms, and even the color of the surface are exactly the same as in reality.

From the sand table, Xu Lai could clearly see nearly a hundred cities, hundreds of towns, and thousands of villages in the Northern Empire.

At the village level, it is no longer displayed directly, only a corresponding picture is inserted.

After all, even if this sand table is seven or eight meters long and wide, it cannot show the entire Northern Empire.

In addition to cities, terrain, and troop deployment, Xu Lai also saw from this sandbox the changes that the Hell camp had made to the Northern Empire.

Knowing that it was the first time for Xu Lai to see this sand table, Lina took the initiative to step forward and explain to Xu Lai:

“This, this, and here are all cities that have been occupied by the hell descendants.

Especially in this area close to the Western Empire, there are seven fortress-level cities, two base camps, and one castle occupied by demons.

Moreover, they are constantly changing the heart of the empire's castle into the heart of hell's furnace through sacrifices and dark spells.

The western area, the Emerald City area, and the northernmost areas connected to the tower camp have all been transformed into lava terrain.

Xu Lai was very familiar with the lava terrain. He had walked through it countless times when he had stayed alone in the Zhan Zhan Academy for several months.

“The lava area will affect 75% of our terrain.

In other words, the distance that originally took ten minutes now takes 17.5 minutes.

Lina nodded and said: That's right, so high-ranking generals from Hell such as Aulima and Ash are all active around here.

They are centered on the transformed hell city, and as the lava terrain continues to expand, their scope of activities becomes wider and wider.

The nobles had tried to chase them before, but as long as they abandoned the captured humans and hid back in the lava terrain, no noble could catch up with them.

Fiona's logistics skills are of a very high level and her speed is extremely fast. She also has various levels of hellhounds trained by herself.

Let alone chasing Fiona, as long as the number of imperial soldiers is slightly larger, she will never be seen.

And wherever there are many people, she will definitely appear. Before she was killed, all of us thought that she was the most difficult to deal with.

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, Thanks to the fact that I don't have many soldiers, otherwise she would probably not show up.

Remembering that Fiona was dead, Lina showed a slight smile on her face and said:

The devils and pagans in hell have absorbed the greatest malice in the entire world, and their desire for revenge is much deeper than ordinary people.

Xu Lai nodded and said to the paladin captains: You have heard it before, we only have 15 days.

15 days is not a lot of time, and since we are all knights, we are not suitable for siege operations.

Therefore, I have a battle plan and I need your help.

However, these paladins did not agree with Xu Lai, but turned their attention to Lina.

Lina's expression darkened and she said, Do you think I'm joking?

I don't care what you think in your heart, even if you have any doubts, you must complete this mission wholeheartedly.

During the mission, if anyone fails to do what they should do, I will engage in military law. At the very least, I will kick them out of the Knights and never hire them.
