The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Near midnight, Xu Lai received Elvy's battle report.

Just as she said, their side lost 5 Seraphim and 3 Archangels.

However, compared to the loss of only 8 angels on their side, the demon side lost 120 abyss lords, more than 30 abyss demons, more than 100 fire elves and 500 winged demons.

Among them, the 500 winged demons were all killed by the dragon knight Eric alone.

Of course, the Black Dragon killed 490 of them alone, and Eric barely killed 10.

There is no way. When it comes to bullying low-level creatures, few can compare to the dragon.

The loss of the eight angels on his side had been recovered before 8 o'clock. Xu Lai also promoted three archangels, which increased his strength by a few points.

But the news that Elvy had revealed before really couldn't make Xu Lai happy.

The Abyss Lord who was fighting with Elvy was just a part that broke away from the main force.

Otherwise, Elvy would not have been so unwise to fight against the lords of the abyss.

You know, these abyss lords can also fly. Once surrounded by these abyss lords, there is a high probability that the angel troops will be wiped out.

Angels are indeed not afraid of death, but this unnecessary sacrifice is completely worthless.

Elvy only knew that there were probably more than 500 of these vanguard Abyss Lords.

The scale behind them is even larger, at least 5 or 6000 heads.

According to this estimate, there must be at least 6 to 7 Abyss Lords.

With so many Abyss Lords, even if each of them could only summon one Hellfire, the number and damage caused would be quite astonishing.

At the beginning, Xu Lai only used more than 40 Hellfires to cause great chaos in the orc camp.

Xu Lai could no longer imagine how terrifying 6 or 7 Hellfires would be.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The demon's movements are under constant surveillance, but the two sides are too close, so close that with the demon's speed, it can fly over Xu Lai's head in less than ten minutes.

Elvy wanted to keep watch, but Xu Lai sent her to rest because the Angel Legion was the main force.

Giselle carried her quiver and climbed directly onto the arrow tower to sleep.

Everyone was very nervous. Xu Lai even specially notified Su Ya and asked her to prepare some magic lamps that could illuminate very far.

Now all these lamps are hung on the top of the arrow tower. Although they cannot clearly illuminate the movements of the demons, a huge door-like object can be seen quietly erected in the wild.

Although Xu Lai didn't know what that thing was, many people knew about it.

But generally speaking, as a spell, Hell's Gate requires a lot of mana to maintain every second, so there is no reason not to launch an attack after summoning it now.

As a building, the Hell's Gate relies on the Hell Core and can save at least half of the mana.

However, where does the hell core come from in the wild?

Moreover, the Gate of Hell must rely on the core of a human castle-level city.

Although he couldn't figure it out, the fact was right in front of him. Considering that the lords of hell could summon hellfire, Xu Lai had to make some thorough preparations.

There are two ways to break a general summoning spell.

The first is to deal with the summoned creature, whether it is to banish it again or simply kill it, both are ways to break the summoning spell.

The other method is more convenient, which is to deal with the summoner directly.

After killing the summoner, no matter how many creatures the summoner has summoned, they will be driven back to the other world at the moment of the summoner's death.

But the summoning of the Lords of the Abyss is different. Their summoning, strictly speaking, is to control the gates of hell.

Even if you kill a certain Abyss Lord, you cannot send away the hell creatures he summoned.

The only way is to destroy the gate of hell, so that the creatures that do not belong to this world can be sent away.

But if the creature that comes out of the Gate of Hell is not from another world, but from the main material world, then destroying the Gate of Hell will be useless.

This is also why the Hell Army can use the Hell Gate to move freely within this world but cannot destroy the world.

Once you cross the world, the moment the gate of hell disappears, all the summons across the world will be sucked away.

Unless this gate of hell is blessed by divine power, such as the gate of hell in the Northern Empire that condenses Klingen's body.

Unfortunately, the Gate of Hell had been destroyed, causing the Hell camp to lose supplies for a long time.

Kerrigan had no choice but to rebuild a special Hell's Gate in his base camp at the cost of permanently sacrificing some of its attributes.

If it weren't for this reason, Kerrigan wouldn't have taken so long.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the Pope's dying moment to make a lightning strike.

Although the Pope has not fully recovered, he finally appeared on the city wall and brought great encouragement to the warriors of Lionheart City.

Not only that, the Pope is the only one who can awaken the sleeping guardian angels in the Gallery of Angels.

Fortunately, although the Hellfire belongs to the Hell camp, it is a puppet creature.

Moreover, puppets like Hellfire are different from the iron men and golden men in the tower.

The Iron Man and the Golden Man are mass-produced by the Tower Mage through the Puppet Factory. They are all installed with the Puppet Heart when they leave the factory and are controlled.

Although Hellfire is also a puppet creature, it cannot be controlled unless there is a spellcaster like the Lord of Hell or the Pagan who controls it with spells.

This means that Hellfire can only appear in the form of summons and cannot be brought out into battle.

Therefore, even those abyss demons can concentrate the forces of the main material world through hellfire.

But if the gate of hell can be destroyed, at least the hellfire that is not from this world can be driven back to hell.

No matter what kind of hell gate it is, once it exists, it will consume resources and magic.

Just like a teleportation array, mana must be consumed to maintain the teleportation channel.

This has formed a consensus that whenever the gate of hell is erected, the war will begin.

But at this time, the Lords of the Abyss were not in a hurry to attack, which must be to accumulate enough troops to protect the Gate of Hell.

After all, in order to travel faster during the day, the demons from hell dispatched flying troops.

Even though the angels had the upper hand when Elvy was fighting against the Lord of the Abyss.

You have to know that at that time, Elvy was only dealing with a part of the forward demons, and the number was not large.

If they were dealing with the enemy's main force, the Angel Legion would inevitably be surrounded.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. The Angel Legion was surrounded with enemies on all sides. The key point was that according to Elvy, the enemy's attributes were not bad.

In the next battle, Xu Lai can only bless one additional holy prayer at most, but it will most likely be dispelled by the demon hero.

Of course, if handled well, it may be possible to preserve it for a longer period of time.

But even with this 20% difference in attributes, it is not enough to change the huge numerical gap between the two sides.

What's more, those Abyss Lords Kerrigan can afford to lose, but Xu Lai can't afford to lose the Angel Legion. With the combat effectiveness of the Angel Legion, they can rely on the resurrection ability to get free rides on their opponents every day. Losing any one of them will make Xu Lai extremely heartbroken.

There was no other way, Xu Lai spent the whole night thinking about countermeasures.

Not only did he not sleep, even Su Ya who was far away in Qingfeng City did not sleep either.

Because Xu Lai had moved all the things in the warehouse ring to his own private warehouse, and now there were only supplies provided by Qingfeng City left in the ring.

The Dragon Queen, Muriel, really gave Xu Lai a lot of good things.

Add to that Xu Lai's own private collection, and after careful selection, he was able to find many treasures.

First of all, there are those Hellfire Summoning Stones. Xu Lai still has about 50 of them left.

Leave those odd numbers to Su Ya, since one or two won’t be of much use anyway.

Xu Lai took all the rest.

In addition to Hellfire, there are also many disposable dragon eggs in the warehouse, such as red dragon eggs that can summon red dragons.

Some were traded by merchants and advent heroes, and some were bought from auctions.

But the bulk of it came from Muriel and Xu Lai.

Needless to say, Moril is the famous Queen of Dragons, and her biggest hobby is collecting all kinds of dragon-attribute items.

As for Xu Lai himself, because he controlled the entire grassland, all the treasure chests obtained by the grassland army from killing wild monsters were sent to Xu Lai.

Of course, Moril did not collect the rare treasures that filled the warehouse by her own strength.

Since Xu Lai has no shortage of money or low-level equipment, and a small amount of experience is completely useless to him, he naturally prefers disposable props.

No matter how bad a disposable item is, since it is disposable, its level must be higher than ordinary equipment.

Xu Lai had once found a summoning item called a red dragon egg in a silver-level treasure chest.

At that time, there were only 180 minutes, and there was only a 7th-level red dragon, which naturally could not be compared with the high-level treasure golden armor.

But now Xu Lai, who owns an entire kingdom, naturally looks down on mere high-level treasures.

On the contrary, a level 7 red dragon can possess the combat power of at least a level 9 dragon due to its powerful attributes and expertise.

The items in the silver treasure chest are randomly obtained at levels 7 and 8, and the items in the gold treasure chest are at least at level 9.

As for diamond chests, the probability of their formation is extremely low, especially in a stable country.

Even if it is formed, Xu Lai will most likely use it to exchange for a divine weapon or the ultimate treasure. No matter how powerful the item is, it is only disposable after all.

Xu Lai also counted these summoned creatures such as dragon eggs.

There are nearly 500 in total, 300 of which were left by Moriel alone.

There are four main types of dragon eggs: green dragon, red dragon, black dragon and gold dragon.

Among them, the black dragon and the golden dragon last longer, the former can last for 360 minutes, and the latter is slightly weaker, but can last for 540 minutes.

The most numerous are red dragons and green dragons, and their duration is also the shortest, only 3 hours, while the green dragon lasts 4 hours.

It would take a lot of time to release so many dragon eggs one by one. After Xu Lai found them all, he gave them all to his secretaries.

Yu Lan still had an important task, so Xu Lai had to let these young secretaries take care of it. After all, they were all mage apprentices at least.

In addition to the dragon eggs, Xu Lai also found many other disposable props.

There are summoning stones for buffs, and other types of summoning stones like summoning Hydras, and so on.

It took an hour or two just to pick out these summons.

However, these summons are at least level 7. The key is that they are not afraid of death, will not feel sad if they die, and will not lose morale, so they are still very useful.

In addition to these low-level summoning stones, Xu Lai also took out the treasures he had always treasured.

Originally, he collected these to deal with Kerrigan and his direct troops.

However, a group of Abyss Lords suddenly appeared at this time, and they were by no means simple characters.

There is a high probability that these abyss lords were one of the trump cards in Kerrigan's hand.

To this end, Xu Lai gritted his teeth and took out 31 of his 6 summoning stones of the sacred beast Water Qilin.

One of them was the one bought at the auction, which was worth 90 gold coins.

The water unicorn can last for 72 hours, which is a full 3 days.

Since they had already been taken out, and there was no telling whether the demons would launch a surprise attack in the second half of the night, Xu Lai simply summoned out the six water unicorns.

Water unicorns don't have wings, but they can fly in the clouds.

After all, it is a level 10 creature and can fly by condensing the water elements in the air.

This nameless base camp is not far from Hanjiang River. The surrounding water vapor is extremely abundant, and the flying speed of the water qilin is not slow.

With Xu Lai's amazing speed, the Water Qilin's flying speed is only slightly slower than that of a 9th-level Seraph, and still slightly faster than an Archangel.

It is the flight of the Water Qilin, which uses the ability of Lingbo Weibu, and mana will be consumed during the flight.

Xu Lai divided the 6 water unicorns into two groups, 3 in each group.

The water qilin is not small in size. As a level 10 giant creature, it is not inferior to behemoths and dragons.

Xu Lai commanded three water qilins to fly in parallel. After they flew up using the Lingbo Weibu, they left behind a very wide trail of clouds and mist.

The trail of cloud and mist left by a water unicorn is about as wide as two lanes, and three of them would be as wide as six lanes.

Under the leadership of Xu Lai, they flew a circle above the head of the Lord of the Abyss.

The lords of the abyss naturally noticed these holy beasts first.

Mendis also immediately dispatched two general-level Abyss Lords to pursue.

These two Abyss Lord generals each led a small team of Abyss Lords. Although their speed was not as fast as the Water Qilin, they successfully blocked the Water Qilin when it turned.

The Water Qilin has the bonus of Xu Lai, and as a rank 10 sacred beast, its strength is extremely terrifying.

At this moment, they are controlling the water element through the Light Footsteps, and are considered to be fighting on the water surface, so all their attributes are increased by 100%.

The Trace of Clouds and Mist increases their hit rate by 20%, allowing them to easily tear the enemy apart with a single claw strike with the help of god-level offensive techniques.

The most terrifying thing is their innate magical power, the hail storm.

The three water unicorns blew out hail storms at the same time, and all of them hit the same direction ahead.

In an instant, except for the Abyss Lord General who was quite well-equipped, the dozens of Abyss Lords blocking the way were all instantly frozen into ice cubes, smashed to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

The Abyss Lord General who survived by chance had a similar fate, as he was torn into pieces by three water unicorns. (End of this chapter)
