The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

No matter how impassioned Kemeler's words were, Xu Lai just ignored them.

In the left ear, out the right ear.

It doesn't matter if you want to die, it doesn't matter if you drag everyone in the temple to be buried with you, but don't drag Xu Lai with you.

This battle, in which the temple devotes all its strength, may not be lost, and Xu Lai, as the coach, may not die.

At best, this is just a battle with relatively high risks.

If the temple had set out clear conditions, such as bringing out a certain or several artifacts to tempt him, Xu Lai would willingly become the coach.

Xu Lai would not have any objections in his heart. Even if he died, he could only blame himself for being too greedy.

But if this kind of thing was not explicitly forced, but still forced to push the duck to the shelf, Xu Lai would not agree to it.

Even if he doesn't do this today, tomorrow the whole world will be unified by demons and undead. At worst, Xu Lai will take his wife, children and children to other places.

He didn't believe that in such a big world, there was no place for him and a small group of people.

Even the orcs who were driven out of Middle-earth ended up in the wilderness, didn't they?

If that didn't work, he would go to the swamp in the fortress camp, or even hide underground to play hide-and-seek with the people in the dungeon.

Anyway, he is good at speed and only brings high-speed troops. He can just grow some food in one place and change it to another place.

If it really doesn't work, he can abandon all the troops and only take the living ones like Elvi.

Although they are combat units, as long as they have their own personalities, there is no problem in farming.

You can hunt without farming. This world is so rich in materials that even the orcs in the wilderness can eat them into terrifying giants. If there are not many of them, there is no need to worry about food.

Seeing that Xu Lai didn't respond at all, Kemiler kept winking at Lina.

However, to Xu Lai's surprise, Lina did not help the archbishops to persuade her. Instead, she turned her head to the side, as if she had no intention of speaking at all.

Not to mention the crimson archbishop of the temple, even Xu Lai couldn't help but ask: How about you give me some advice?

Xu Lai was actually kind-hearted. He wanted Lina to say a few words, and then he would sternly refuse.

This is not to humiliate Lina, it is just to let Lina do the work and let those people understand that no one's persuasion is of any use.

Unexpectedly, Lina glanced at him and said: “It’s not necessary.

The temple raised me, the temple cultivated me, and the God of War guided me in the direction. It is worthy and honorable for me to sacrifice for the temple.

But you have no such obligation. No matter what choice you make, it should be out of your own free will and not due to any form of oppression by others.

You girl, how can you talk? Who is oppressing us? Aren't we discussing it? Kemel said loudly.

Lina didn't care anymore. She slapped her hands on the table and said without any sign of weakness:

Are you discussing this? Is this clearly oppression?

Our knights and priests are fighting desperately on the front line. Whoever you consult with will decide who is qualified to be resurrected and who can only die.

When you selected the leader of the Knights, whose wishes did you respect?

When you forced others and coerced all the clergy to go on adventures with you, who did you consult with?

The dignitaries in the Northern Empire won't cooperate with anything, so why should we die for them? Are the knights of the God of War inferior, or are you, those in power, the same breed?

The more Lina spoke, the louder her voice got, and Xu Lai moved back in fear.

The Paladin outside the house heard the noise and couldn't help but open the door and take a look, fearing that something had happened inside.

However, when they looked at the archbishops and asked them if they needed help, Lina suddenly shouted:

Whose knights are you? His Majesty the God of War has guided you for so long, is it for you to watch the gate here today?

The two paladins were stunned. They came from the Fifth Knights who were resting today.

Although she has no direct affiliation with Lina, nominally speaking, Lina is more qualified to reprimand and order them than several other crimson bishops.

The two looked at each other, neither of them dared to say anything. They no longer waited for the crimson bishop's order and closed the door on their own.

In the temple, the priest is the attendant of the God of War, the person who serves the God of War and conveys the will of the God of War.

The knights are the guards of the God of War and are responsible for protecting the God of War.

Priests are the warriors of the God of War. Generally, the priests are responsible for the battles in the temple, including the Archangels, the final form of the priests, who are all warriors of the God of War.

Letting the paladins guard the door is indeed what they should do, but the prerequisite is that they must guard the door for His Majesty the God of War.

No matter what, the rank of the Holy Light Knight is the same as that of the Crimson Archbishop. There is no reason for the Crimson Archbishop to sit inside, while the deputies of the Holy Light Knight have to stand guard outside the door.

There are a total of 12 crimson archbishops in the temple, and there are countless archbishops.

However, every archbishop is a big shot who currently or has dominated a party. Have you seen who they are guarding the door for? Usually they are big shots who have to wait outside the door even if the city lord asks to see them.

Of course, in the temple, it has long been common for priests to have a higher status and receive vague treatment from a higher level. There is no need for Lina to break out today.

The priests are responsible for conveying the will of the God of War, and their status has become higher invisibly. This is a fact that no one can change.

But today, the archbishops felt that the matter was important, so they called the paladins to guard the door.

However, they dared to let the Paladins stand guard at the door today, and when they have a meeting with His Majesty the Pope tomorrow, they dare to let the Knights of Holy Light stand guard at the door.

Seeing this scene, Lina was already in a bad mood. Some time ago, she lost her position as the leader of the knights under the pressure of these archbishops.

Although the Sixth Knights were handed over to Xu Lai, Lina was still satisfied.

But because of their random assignments, her Sixth Knights were unable to allocate any resurrection slots. In the two months since the war started, at least hundreds of brothers in the Sixth Knights died.

Even though the Sixth Knights made great achievements yesterday, in order to resurrect the low-level knights in the group, they still had to do some sneaky tricks and open the back door.

It can be said that both Lina and the other two knight captains are full of anger.

Today, taking this opportunity to break out, Lina has nothing to regret.

Anyway, she is already an eighth-level Holy Light Knight. Except for the Pope, everyone else is theoretically the same level, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

“Archbishops, even if you are not the Crimson Archbishop of the temple, you are still my seniors and have taught us.

I hope you will stop engaging in such nonsense and ask others to help. At least you should have an attitude of asking others for help.

Let me state my position here first. Your Excellency Xu Lai is now the leader of the Sixth Knights. He is qualified to make any decisions on behalf of the Sixth Knights.

The Sixth Knights and I fully support every decision made by Mr. Xu Lai.

Okay, I am no longer the leader of the Sixth Knights. I have no need or qualification to stay here. I say goodbye.

After saying that, Lina actually turned around and left without any hesitation or pause.

Not to mention the archbishops, even Xu Lai was dumbfounded. This guy acted as if he had forcibly split a knighthood from another temple.

For a moment, the conference room fell into an eerie silence. Finally, Archangel Gilad coughed and said:

Now that the matter has come to this, I would like to express my position on behalf of the Angel Legion.

We will definitely participate in this battle, but if Your Excellency Xu Lai must be in charge of the yoke of war, then I hope that the command of the Angel Legion will also be given to Excellency Xu Lai.

At the very least, the Angel Legion must be allowed to maintain an independent organization and have the right to act independently.

Otherwise, if it is left to those two people, I would not be at ease and would not agree with it.

Well, the responsibilities of our angels are only combat, administrative management and war decision-making. It is not something we should get involved in. I also take my leave.

When Gilad and his Seraphim also left, there were actually only Xu Lai, Elvi, and the three most powerful crimson bishops in the temple in the Northern Empire in the conference room.

After an awkward moment, Crimson Bishop Wright said first:

Your Excellency Xu Lai, before we continue with the previous topic, let's finish the previous task.

Just like what you said, since you have completed the task, we should give you the merit first as payment for your hard work.

Xu Lai didn't feel disgusted and threw a few heads on the table in front of the three archbishops.

“I took on one main mission in total, which was to kill the human traitor Aulima.

As well as several side missions on this main line, killing the succubus Qimeng, the heretic Yu Wanxi who calls himself the Lord of Fire, etc.

Now their heads are here, but I want to state in advance that although the head of Succubus Qimeng is here, she is not dead.

In this task, you just think I failed, and you will be deducted as much as you deserve.

Please help me settle the rest.

Oh, by the way, Lina and the others killed many generals and heroes from the hell camp this time.

If anyone is on the wanted list, please send merit to Lina and the knight who performed this mission. I think there should be detailed kill and battle records on this mission list.

This time Xu Lai guessed wrong. Although the task list given by the temple was attached with recording magic, it was a passive spell and was not interfered by the Forbidden Magic Ball.

But this spell is limited by distance. Lina and the others originally moved in groups far away from Xu Lai.

Therefore, the records on the list were not complete. The demons that Lina and her group killed were not recorded. At least several thousand merit points were missing from the list.

Fortunately, even if there is no kill record, it still recognizes the demon's corpse, and Lina has brought back the heads of every hero who descended upon them.

After all, it is a heroic unit. Even if it is not on the wanted list, the merit points awarded will not be low depending on the level.

It is a fact that you killed the succubus Qimeng. No one can deny this. As for her rebirth and escape, that is because our intelligence is not in place and we cannot rely entirely on you.

We will still keep this wanted list, but it can’t be considered as a failure in your mission. It can be considered as half of your success. (End of chapter)
