The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai and Lina have formed a certain tacit understanding.

Lina fulfilled her previous promise, but she also hinted to Xu Lai that if Xu Lai's performance could not satisfy her, the command rights would still have to be discussed after the mission was over.

The current task of killing Aulima is a process of getting along and trusting each other.

During this process, Lina will do her best to do everything she should do.

And if Xu Lai makes a major mistake in command, then even if she wants to drive Xu Lai away afterwards, she must take the command back.

But to be honest, judging from Xu Lai's performance and evaluation, Lina still has a certain degree of trust in Xu Lai's character, otherwise she would not have gotten along with this mission at all.

At the same time, Xu Lai's ability was also highly recognized by her.

The high level of level 25 brings powerful combat effectiveness.

Logistics and talents made this group of knights like a fish in water, and with the support of treasures, their speed almost doubled.

You know, for knights, speed is life.

In addition, Xu Lai's leadership skills and the high morale of his own troops also allowed the Sixth Knights, who had been defeated one after another, to quickly improve their morale from the previous low.

The price was Xu Lai's own team's morale, which was also dragged down by the Sixth Knights. Now it only hovers around 80 points.

After all, compared with the 2,000 people of the Sixth Knights, Xu Lai's 500 people were a bit different, so even if their morale exceeded 100 points, it was still pulled down a lot.

However, this is not permanent. Through training, this temporary loss of morale can be slowly recovered.

But Xu Lai didn't have this time. Fortunately, the morale of 80 points was fully sufficient.

These two major changes alone have brought about earth-shaking changes to the Sixth Knights, not to mention that Xu Lai also carries the ultimate offense and ultimate defense.

These two specialized skills are simply good news for all physics professions.

Compared to another imperial hero, Christine, Xu Lai is far ahead of him in terms of treasures and specializations, and Lina is certainly not dissatisfied.

Therefore, even if Xu Lai makes a mistake in command, she doesn't want to kick Xu Lai out.

If Xu Lai is willing to cooperate, Lina is even willing to take back only the command power and give all the merits belonging to the commander to Xu Lai.

Don't worry, I have expertise in intermediate pathfinding.

Although we cannot completely avoid the influence of lava terrain, with my speed talent and treasures, even if these guys bring all their high-speed troops, they will definitely not be able to catch up with you.

Xu Lai's tactics are not complicated. He wants to defeat his opponent in a short time. The best and fastest way is undoubtedly to attract the opponent to attack him like Fiona.

However, Fiona has reconnaissance skills and a hellhound that can sniff out many warriors, so she can be sure that she will fight more with less.

It's a pity that the high-level hound she raised was hacked to death by Elvi, who failed to detect that although Xu Lai's troops were not many, they were elite enough.

If Fiona knew that Xu Lai also had a group of angels, a large group of griffins, and twice the number of cavalry and archmages, it would be absolutely impossible for Fiona to rush over so rashly and die.

Therefore, what Xu Lai had to do was to make the originally powerful knights weak.

Xu Lai decided to split the 2,000-strong knights into 20 teams.

By chance, there were 20 paladin captains in front of them, each carrying a squad.

Just as the Paladins will definitely come forward to kill demons when they see them, the Paladins with punishment can cause great harm to demons. They are also a thorn in the demons' eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

Xu Lai's recruitment of paladins only had the skill of punishment, but the 100 paladins under Lina possessed more than a dozen divine spells, and almost every one of them could severely damage demons.

In addition, the Paladin can increase his health by himself, and can be invincible at critical moments, and his defense is extremely thick.

This kind of enemy that is both difficult to deal with and can cause double or even multiple times damage to itself will of course be the priority target of all demons.

100 knights, including 4 paladins, are just at the stage where they are not too difficult to deal with, but cannot be defeated by a small force.

According to the characteristics of the Paladin, a hundred knights and demons must use several times or even ten times the force to attack.

It would be easier for a group of knights to escape if defeated, so in order to surround and kill this group of paladins, Xu Lai judged that Aulima was likely to send out the main force.

Besides, even if the entire army is not dispatched, Aulima must at least send a force of more than a thousand people.

As long as Xu Lai eliminates a few of these troops, he can easily get thousands of demon heads.

With these thousands of demon heads in hand, even if the final mission fails, at least the penalty for mission failure can be offset.

If the mission simply failed and the Knights did not suffer any major losses, then it would just be a waste of the temple's manpower and material resources.

Therefore, the punishment for mission failure is not too serious, and these thousands of demon heads can completely make up for it.

If he could catch big fish like the Flame King or the Succubus Queen, there was no telling whether the mission would be a failure.

What's more, another advantage of Xu Lai's dispersion of troops is that he can detect the movements of the demon army as quickly as possible.

He only has 15 days in total. If he is unlucky, he may not even be able to see the devil in 15 days.

But if the team is divided into 20 parts, the probability of finding the demon troops will increase by 20 times.

If you still can't find the target after multiplying it 20 times, it can only prove one thing, that is, the information provided by the temple is wrong.

Xu Lai cannot bear the responsibility for the failure of the mission by himself.

So, what we need to accomplish is to attract the enemy to you?

But you only have about 500 troops around you. Even if a rally order is issued, can you hold on until we come to support you when we don't know how far we will run?

Although the Paladin has magic power, there are not so many Magic Stones, and Xu Lai cannot get in touch with every team leader.

Therefore, after drawing out the demon army, how to gather strength to defeat the demon army is what needs to be considered later.

These paladins can become captains, naturally they are those who, in addition to practicing, also know some ways of military formation.

It doesn't matter. If I can't beat you, I can still run. I believe the demon army can't catch up with me.

If I run away, I will release fireworks along the way, and then you just need to gather in the direction indicated by my fireworks.

Xu Lai didn't explain too much. Just like what he said, if you can't fight, just run away.

As long as the enemy is attracted, it will be easy to deal with. While flying the kite, he dragged the paladins to come back for reinforcements. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to deal with these demons.

Moreover, even if there is any accident, his speed is something that not even Taloshi, who is gifted as a wolf rider and possesses master-level logistics skills, can do anything about.

Having fought against these high-level heroes, apart from anything else, at least Xu Lai's self-confidence has been cultivated.

Of course, self-confidence is not arrogance. He still knows very well how much strength he has.

Of course he would not rush into the finals with the Devils before gathering his troops.

Okay, this is my decision and tactics. If you don't have a better way to complete the task within these 15 days, then listen to me.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. When it comes to the tactics of the God of War and the Demon, these paladins, who have received military instruction since childhood, will certainly not be able to figure it out.

But for 15 days, we were still on the territory of the demons. We still didn’t know the specific location of the enemy, let alone the enemy, and we couldn’t even know the enemy.

Asking them to come up with a better and safer tactic is really forcing people to do something difficult.

“Let me warn you again, if you still have questions or confusion about the tactical arrangements, you can raise them now.

Don't mention it during the military meeting. Once the order is issued, if anyone raises objections or fails to cooperate, I will immediately engage in military law!

Lina on the side, who didn't speak a word from beginning to end, expressed great respect for Xu Lai.

It was only when all the paladins had nothing to say that they finally stood up to confirm.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Lai smiled and said: Then, that's it.

I have only one request for you, and that is to never get involved.

No matter how they tempt and threaten you, you must remember your combat purpose.

If you get entangled with the demons, you will give up your own speed advantage.

In short, before you enjoy my talent bonus, I don’t allow you to have close contact with the demons. Do you understand my order?

After everyone took the order and left, the big tent became quiet again.

Lina handed over to Xu Lai and said: Actually, let them rush and dig out a piece of flesh from the demon. Only those demons who are extremely vindictive will be more likely to be led into an ambush.

Xu Lai immersed himself in the sand table. It was not actually called a sand table because it was not made of sand at all, but Xu Lai was used to it being called such a table.

With his current level of intelligence, he should be able to memorize the complete sand table in his mind. He can't wait until he is about to fight before slowly studying the map.

So while there is still time, you should memorize the entire map of the Northern Empire in your mind.

Success is never accidental, but accumulated with every detail.

Xu Lai, who was completely trapped in these sandboxes, replied without raising his head:

“There is an old saying in our country, which is that if people survive and lose their land, everyone will survive; if their land is lost, everyone will lose their land.

Maybe I'm a little too conservative, but I don't want my soldiers to go on fearless adventures anyway.

Even if the mission fails, it's no big deal. I can take responsibility for my own decisions and I can shoulder this responsibility.

Lina stared at Xu Lai for a moment, but in the end she still couldn't see anything in Xu Lai.

Before Lina could finish reading, Tahan came in and reported that a high priest had been sent over from the cathedral. (End of chapter)
