The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Lena led the main force of the Qingfeng Legion. Even though there were some infantry transferred from the Knight Wind, the average level was above 5.6.

There was no other way. The Qingfeng Legion had experienced many large-scale battles, including the battle of Count Aini, the dungeon, the orc army, and had won every battle.

Although a large number of new recruits were added later, they were all transferred out after just simple training, and even the organization within the regiment was not greatly affected.

The Qingfeng Corps had made two great achievements, and Xu Lai specially rewarded them with a dragon meat banquet, and their qualifications were all highly praised.

For ordinary people, if their qualifications are not very good, level 5 is basically the maximum.

This is why the main soldiers of many large legions are at level 5.

But the Qingfeng Legion does not have this concern. As long as they have enough experience, they can at least be upgraded to level 6, and most of them can be upgraded to around level 7.

After reorganization, the Qingfeng Legion became a large legion mainly composed of infantry.

However, Xu Lai left Yan Feng to Lena. Yan Feng was originally a 7th-level hero and could no longer be upgraded.

Now that he has been promoted to a general, the experience points he had previously accumulated have come in handy, and he has been directly transferred to a senior general.

The ranger troops are relatively comprehensive. They run fast, have strong long-range capabilities, and have the charge ability of cavalry.

Apart from the weaker armor and less ammunition reserves, it has no problem in protecting the main army from being harassed by fast-moving troops.

The herdsmen on the grassland basically have long-range weapon skills, and the levels are generally not low.

Therefore, it is easier for the Qingfeng Legion to train rangers. Yan Feng has 1000 heroes, 5000 rangers and 3000 mercenaries.

Nearly 5 cavalry archers of the lowest level can directly destroy the mobile forces that far outnumber their own even without contacting the enemy.

In addition, Rena can also take advantage of the water and use transport ships to help transport siege weapons and supplies.

If the battle site was not far from Hanjiang River, Lena could also enjoy artillery support from the river.

Compared with the long-range missiles and long-range artillery in the technological world, even the longest-range magic cannon is far inferior.

However, the cruiser's magic cannon can definitely help Reina in attacking the city.

At least when Reina encounters any difficulties, these magic cannons can help cover her retreat.

In terms of military strength, even if Yan Feng's cavalry archers are not counted, the troops composed of pure infantry, spearmen, crossbowmen, and archers number more than 100,000.

Except for the Royal Griffins, which have less than 3000 flying units and appear slightly weak, Reina's Breeze Legion has basically no weaknesses.

Besides, Reina is good at defense, so even if she can't defeat the enemy, at least she won't suffer great losses.

Therefore, Xu Lai had nothing to worry about Lena's attack on Berk Territory.

On the contrary, his target of attack was the Marquisate of Casse, which was five times the size of the Glorious Territory.

Based on the information provided by Eric and others, Xu Lai knew that the one who was now in charge of this marquisate was the female devil Ferris from hell.

Unlike the more ordinary demon heroes like Matthias, Ferris is somewhat famous in Hell.

This female devil is a hell hero with special skills, and is good at controlling and making ballistas.

Not only does she have many advanced crossbows in her hands, but the crossbows also have a range and power far beyond that of ordinary crossbows.

The Phantom Archer is very powerful, but no matter how strong he is, he is still human. Since the opponent is good at controlling the crossbow, ballistics must be one of his required specialties.

With ballistics and archery, and the help of city walls, even the phantom archer would find it difficult to resist.

Xu Lai's main force was still a group of cavalry, and without long-range artillery support, the difficulty of siege increased dramatically.

Unless Ferris is as stupid as Matthias and plans to have a decisive battle with Xu Lai in the wild, he would be courting his own death.

However, with the previous experience of Matthias and Xu Lai's failure to completely wipe out the demons in the Glorious Territory, Ferris should have had relevant information about Xu Lai a long time ago.

Xu Lai judged that Ferris would not fight him in the field, so what he mainly needed to deal with was the siege.

Therefore, he kept Eric and Emilia's team with him.

Not only that, he also specially brought over 500 Phantom Archers from the Coast Defense Force and Phantom Arrow Saints from the Qingfeng Legion.

Including the Phantom Shooters that Giselle had just helped him train in the past two weeks, there were about two thousand Phantom Shooters.

But even so, the chances of success in attacking the city are still not very high.

The good news is that in the nearby territories, hell has not yet completely transformed, and most of the cities are still imperial cities.

In this way, Xu Lai at least doesn't have to deal with the lava river in hell.

Because the Marquisate of Casse is vast, Ferris has two subordinates.

One is a descended hero from hell, not of high rank, but is said to be a gifted pagan.

The other one is somewhat famous among humans, especially in the Western Empire. Most people know that he is a defected human hero.

After entering the Marquisate, Xu Lai did not head towards the Pafix Plains immediately.

The castle of the Marquis of Casse, whose entire family was killed, is located in the center of the plain, and Ferris is now stationed in this castle.

If possible, Xu Lai still wanted to lure the devil out for a battle in the wild.

The reason why he personally led the team here was because he was attracted by the plain terrain here.

On the plains, his knights could spread out widely, and with one charge, even Selron's demon army would be defeated.

For this reason, he did not directly capture the thief and the leader as he did in the Glorious Territory.

If the leader is eliminated, the others will become scattered sand and be easily dealt with, but killing the head is undoubtedly the most difficult.

Therefore, Xu Lai planned to clip his wings first, weaken Ferris's power, and strengthen himself at the same time.

Otherwise, Ferris would just watch his cities being conquered one after another by Xu Lai.

The demons assigned to these cities were killed one after another by Xu Lai.

Either that, Ferris would have to lead the troops himself, or ask others to bring troops to support.

This was exactly what Xu Lai wanted. He could surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements as much as he wanted, and then wipe out the troops sent by Ferris.

It doesn't matter if Ferris is unmoved.

By conquering the surrounding cities, we can at least rescue more humans and kill more demons.

The rank of the troops he led was not very high yet, so he could take this opportunity to annex more rebel forces and upgrade to a higher rank.

As for Ferris, if there is no other support, food and supplies will become less and less, and morale will only become lower and lower.

By that time, the increase and decrease of one side will undoubtedly give Xu Lai more confidence and certainty.

The first small town Xu Lai went to was less than ten kilometers away from the border of the Brilliant Territory.

Jian Yuan set out early with a team of cavalry to explore the way, but he soon sent someone to report that the demons had already abandoned the towns along the way.

Today, these villages and towns have been recaptured by the rebels in the Marquis' territory.

Unlike the Glorious Territory that is close to the Frost River and the hills, Ferris has more troops and less cover in the plains.

In the entire Marquisate, there are only two or three relatively active resistance forces.

However, although there are more rebel forces in the Glorious Territory, they are all small in scale and of varying quality.

There were dragon riders like Eric, and former villagers who became part-time bandits after the whole village fled. Although there were only two or three active resistance forces in the territory of Marquis Casse, they were all quite famous.

Especially after Xu Lai liberated the Glorious Territory, Ferris decided to abandon all the surrounding towns and resource points and try to reduce his military forces as much as possible.

The two rebel forces reacted immediately and occupied nearby villages and towns as strongholds before Xu Lai sent out his troops.

“Your Majesty, when I was in Brilliant Territory, I also had contact with the resistance forces in Kasai Territory.

Why don't I go talk to their leader first?"

Xu Lai nodded and said, "Let's talk first. Your Vanguard Battalion only has 1500 people now, and it still needs to be expanded.

You should take the vanguard camp with you, and it would be best if you could recruit all the nearby resistance forces.

You all know the treatment I give to the Vanguard Battalion, which is exactly the same as that given to my two main legions.

If they are willing to come, they will receive the same treatment, and the officers can be promised to go out as long as the number of officers does not exceed the existing number.

If we can't come to an agreement, I can give them half a day to pack up and leave.

Anyway, I want to keep the nearby towns as bridgeheads, and I can’t leave them to them.”

Eric bowed, thought for a moment, blew the dragon whistle hanging around his neck, summoned his black dragon, and then led the vanguard camp towards the nearest town.

The town has no walls, so even if the rebels don't leave, Tahan can crush them all with one charge.

It’s just that population is precious now, and Xu Lai is willing to give them time to think it over. Even if the negotiations fail, he doesn’t want to hurt them.

Without city walls, piling up supplies would be dangerous.

Therefore, the bridgehead that Xu Lai was eyeing was still a fortress-level city on the edge of Pafix.

The news sent back by Jian Yuan said that a small amount of traces of demonic activities were found on the city wall.

Ferris has reduced its military forces, but many humans are still imprisoned in every city.

Ferris didn't want to release these humans, nor did he want to hand the city over to humans for nothing.

Therefore, she left a small number of demons in these cities.

Firstly, these demons can still play a certain role with the help of city defense facilities.

At least the rebels dared to seize villages and towns, but did not launch an attack on the fortress.

Secondly, they also wanted to wait for the human army to arrive and then let these demons kill all the remaining humans imprisoned in the city.

Jian Yuan only brought a small number of scout knights. In addition, the number of demons was small, and they knew that they were abandoned, so they patrolled carelessly.

Fortunately, these demons were on strike and did not notice Jian Yuan and the others.

Otherwise, when regular human knights appear, these demons will have to carry out orders.

Ferris didn't leave them any food, and they could only eat those humans every day.

Ferris gave a death order that they were not allowed to leave under any circumstances, so if they killed all the humans in advance, they would starve to death.

Xu Lai didn't know there was such an order, but it didn't matter.

After he received Jian Yuan's message and learned that there were not many demons in the city, he simply let Elvy take the archangel and set off.

The Seraphim can no longer be upgraded, so there is no need to bring them over to share the experience.

It's a fortress-level city with a small number of demons, so it's really not worth it to deploy a large army.

The Knight's Wind and the Breeze Legion continued to march, but they simply skipped over the villages and towns along the way.

Xu Lai even skipped the fortress city and let Elvy lead the archangels to liberate the residents of the city.

A mere fortress city could not accommodate Xu Lai's army of more than one hundred thousand.

They were going straight to the next city without wasting any time.

Every day of delay means one more day of hellish transformation into the city, and the risk increases.

At this time, he didn't know that Hell had sent reinforcements. If he knew, he might not be in a hurry and would wait for Lena to lead the team to join them.

Beyond the fortress city is a base camp-level city.

According to the construction blueprint of the base-level city, it is qualified to build a moat.

However, because it was a plain city and there were no threats nearby, they did not deliberately dig a moat.

By the time Xu Lai's army approached, it was already evening.

There was no way. Although Xu Lai had ultimate logistics skills and super speed, he was accompanied by a large number of infantry.

This does not include the logistical supplies. With the warehouse ring, Avid and others do not need to raise funds for the time being.

However, catapults and trebuchets are necessary.

However, these things have not been shipped yet. They will be shipped here after Xu Lai occupies several cities in Kasai Territory.

They were reluctant to give up the fortress city of Ferris, so they would definitely not give up this base camp.

But it is obvious that there are not many demons in this relatively large city.

Elvy and Eric's advance camps were not there, and even if they were, Xu Lai would not need them.

With a wave of her hand, Giselle stepped forward with the Phantom Archer, suppressing the demons on the city wall with her ultra-long-range shooting.

There were not many demons on the city wall, probably only two or three hundred, and they were almost all shot to death.

The remaining demons quickly fled from the city wall, and no new demons wanted to climb the city. They simply abandoned the city wall.

The command flag was waved again, and accompanied by the sound of attack drums, Brandy personally carried a seven or eight meter long ladder and rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

After winning battles one after another, the morale of the infantry was already high. Without any hesitation, they all followed Brandy and rushed to the city wall.

The blazing special smoke began to float from the city and rushed straight into the clouds.

On the corner tower of Casse Castle, the demon in charge of observation hurried to report.

Mendis, who was talking to Ferris, heard the news and stood up abruptly, saying with a grim smile:
"Ferris, our guests are here, have you thought about it?"

The female devil raised her scarlet eyes and said, "I have mobilized a lot of soldiers from various cities.

I can hand over all these warriors to you, but you cannot move any of the soldiers in Kasai City.

Anyway, you have the Gate of Hell in your hands. As long as you have enough cannon fodder to buy you time, you will have an endless supply of warriors. My past will be of no help to you.

On the contrary, humans are cunning. If they try to make a feint to the east and attack the west, occupy Kasai City, and destroy the altar, you and I will have a hard time explaining to His Majesty Kerrigan."

Mendis was breathing heavily, and from time to time, bursts of smoke from not fully burning came out of his nostrils.

"Whatever you want, you don't even want the credit for free, huh."

Although Kerrigan gave him the command, Mendis also understood that the transformation into hell was equally important and the altar could not be lost.

With their existing financial and human resources, it would take a lot of effort to rebuild an altar.

Without transforming the terrain of Hell, these demons would not be able to obtain supplies, let alone rule. (End of this chapter)
