The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Xu Lai was not surprised by this result.

After he failed to call back the three water unicorns no matter how hard he tried, he realized that these three creatures were probably dead.

The rest depends on how many demons they can drag along with them before they die.

Judging from the description of the dragon knight, quite a few demons died at the hands of the water unicorn, mainly fire elves.

It’s not that Xu Lai didn’t think about rescuing them.

However, the water qilins were fighting in the sky, and Xu Lai could not fly.

If he wanted to rescue them, he could only send Elvy and her angel army, as well as the remaining three water unicorns.

He didn't have time to use those dragon eggs. Even if he wanted to send them, he would have to be allowed half an hour to smash the eggs first.

But once the three water unicorns are sent over, they will never come back unless there are no more evil creatures around.

Elvy and the others had consumed a lot of energy during the day. The key point was that they were going to fight in the enemy's home turf. Wouldn't it be even more disastrous if they suffered any losses?

Therefore, after much thought, Xu Lai only sent Eric to investigate and did not send any other rescuers.

"You've worked hard. Go and rest first. I don't think there will be any fighting tonight."

“Your Majesty, I saw those demons taking turns to cast spells, summoning the creatures of Hell and then collectively recovering their magic power.

Let them go on like this endlessly, should we attack the camp at night?"

Xu Lai shook his head and said, “Poor vision at night is disadvantageous to humans.

If we can take the enemy by surprise during the night attack, it will increase our chances of winning.

But now the demons are ready, and a surprise attack will only end up hurting more than gaining anything."

Even though Xu was speaking the language of this world, Eric still couldn't quite understand.

Fortunately, although he couldn't understand what Xu Lai said, he could still understand what he meant.

However, although Xu Lai refused the night attack, he did not want to defend himself and be beaten.

Just as Eric said, the opponent's Abyss Lords are too many, and even without additional items such as potions for replenishment, the cycle can last for a long time.

If the demons are transferred from the main world, they have to be a little cautious, after all, the number of demons coming to the main world is limited.

But if you recruit soldiers directly from hell through the Gate of Hell, then you can just recruit as many as you can without any thought.

Hell is so vast that there are countless demons. Even if every human being is a hero who can kill millions of demons, it may not be possible to empty hell even if all humans are exhausted.

If this continues, no matter how strong Xu is or how many soldiers he has, he will be exhausted to death sooner or later.

Therefore, he must find a way to destroy the gate of hell before hell has time to gather heavy troops.

According to Eric's investigation, there are two checkpoints blocking the gate of hell.

One is the conventional defense force, namely the Hellfire responsible for ground defense.

As well as the Fire Elves responsible for sky defense, they are all level 7.

Xu Lai himself had used Hellfire. This kind of puppet was not afraid of pain and had no morale. Its body was made entirely of stone and was not only difficult to destroy, but it also caused tremendous damage.

The most important thing is that these guys are surrounded by hellfire. If you fight with them, you will be burned by hellfire all the time.

Compared with Hellfire, Fire Elves are only more difficult to deal with, and almost all melee troops will be restrained by them.

Of course, using the word "restraint" may not be so accurate. Except for the ability to fly, the other attributes of the Fire Spirit are worse than those of the 7th-level unit.

Therefore, although they can rebound melee damage, they themselves are generally unable to resist the attacks of other level 7 units, and the probability of them perishing together is not low.

To deal with Fire Spirits, either use ranged units or units that are immune to fire.

It just so happened that Xu Lai's angel army was mainly composed of Seraphim, and the number of Archangels had gradually increased as they advanced.

It’s a pity that the number of Seraphim is still very small, but if they are combined with those red dragons and green dragons, there is still a good chance of breaking through the demons’ air defense.

According to Eric, the demons have now turned to summoning fire spirits, and the Abyss Lord himself can fly.

Xu Lai only hated that he couldn't fly. Even if he used the magic of flying, he could only fly and had no combat power.

If he used the magic of flight to fly over and investigate, if he was discovered by the demon, there was a 100% chance that he would not be able to come back.

Unable to see the specific distribution and number of the demons, Xu Lai did not dare to place a bet easily.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please help me call General Tahan."

Xu Lai planned to stay up all night. Although it was hard work, his secretary would have to be on duty.

The secretary hurriedly went to call Tahan, who was sleeping soundly.

After much thought, Xu Lai decided to place his hopes and bets on the cavalry.

He came from the grassland and did a lot of things against demons. I believe the demons must have done in-depth research on him.

Mendis summoned a large number of hellfires at the first moment, obviously not intending to use these things to attack the city.

If it is purely a summoning, and these hellfires can be cast from the sky, it would be useful for siege.

Otherwise, how could we expect these huge stone men, who can’t lift their legs or bend their waists, to climb up the city walls?

Although the base camp where Xu Lai and his men were stationed had no moat, its arrow towers, city walls and other facilities were still complete.

Mendis summoned Hellfire, apparently in preparation for a field battle with Xu Lai.

As the saying goes, what the enemy fears is what I rely on. The more the enemy fears his cavalry, the more he will rely on and use it.

Of course, we are not stupid enough to go head-to-head with a puppet like Hellfire.

Given the sharpness of the cavalry, the first wave of charge will surely be unstoppable.

But so what? Hellfire is huge and made of stone.

Even if it was shattered, it would block the cavalry's path, making it impossible for the subsequent cavalry to accelerate.

Another thing is that although Xu Lai has a lot of cavalry, as long as the enemy guards the Gate of Hell, they can continuously summon reinforcements.

In order to summon powerful hell units, the Hell Gate built by Mendis is not small.

But no matter how big the door is, it is just a door. Thousands of abyss lords and even more abyss demons are fully capable of surrounding a door tightly.

"Your Majesty, you summoned me."

After being promoted to a general, Tahan's attributes have been greatly improved, and the leadership characteristics of the only 9th-level profession have also been greatly strengthened.

Tahan originally possessed the aura of fearlessness and knightly skills. After becoming a general, he gained several new general characteristics such as leading by example, a master of riding, and a cavalry commander.

Leading by Example: Personally participating in battles will increase the morale of your troops by +3, and charging in the front will increase the morale of your troops by an additional 5 points, and their attack will increase by an additional 15 points.

Horsemanship Master: Increases the movement speed of the cavalry and its command by 15%.

Cavalry Commander: The attack of the cavalry and the cavalry under his command increases by 30 points, defense increases by 15 points, and health increases by 50 points. Charge Master: If the cavalry and the cavalry under his command can kill the enemy at once during the charge, the current charge posture will be retained, but the speed will be reduced by 30%.

With the support of these generals' characteristics, even if Xu Lai had no expertise in cavalry, he didn't know whose cavalry could compete with the cavalry commanded by Tahan.

In addition to the blessing of the statue of the god of war, the flag of Knight's Wind was modified by Xu Lai from the imperial flag - the flag of Knight's Sword.

Apart from the change in style, there is no change in the properties of this imperial flag.

This royal flag, renamed the Knight's Wind Flag, has a basic attribute that can increase morale by 20 points.

With countless morale bonuses, the morale of the Knight Wind Legion has long exceeded the upper limit of 100 points.

If there were no upper limit, perhaps with the help of the God of War statue, Seraph, etc., it could break through to 200 points.

The 20% increase in attack speed and movement speed from the special attributes, combined with Xu Lai's super speed talent, are exaggerated to the extreme.

The final reward from the Knight King is to increase attack and defense by 25 points as well as health by 25 points.

Even without the support of the Angel Alliance, the Statue of the God of War and Tahan can transform a 4th-level apprentice knight into a 6th-level official knight, or even better.

"Tomorrow, I have an extremely important task for you.

When you return, gather all the knights of level 7 and above.

I will select 8000 knights with the best equipment and the highest ranks from among them and separate them from the rest of the knight troops. I will use them for other purposes.”

As one of the earliest generals to follow Xu Lai, Xu Lai did not need to hide anything.

Tahan nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I will prepare it when I get back."

Xu Lai nodded and said, “Tomorrow, I will personally lead the rest of the knights to provide cover for you.

Before I give the order, no matter what happens, don't panic. You must also make this clear when you return.

When I give the order, just charge forward and don't worry about anything else along the way. There is only one goal: destroy that gate for me.

Even if we encounter a demon hero, we should ignore him. After destroying the gate, victory will be ours."

Tahan nodded solemnly, without saying anything nonsense, he just knelt on one knee and saluted.

Xu Lai patted his shoulder and said, "I may not be able to give you too many Holy Light Knights, so you have to use those knights well.

I don't care about the others, you must come back alive."

Tahan grinned and said, "You can always trust your knight, my respected king."

After Tahan left, Xu Lai found Roland again.

As the cavalry commander Tahan, Xu Lai arranged the most important task.

But he only took away 8000 of the most elite knights. Although Xu Lai could lead the remaining troops to charge, he really couldn't manage them.

After Tahan leaves, Roland will temporarily take on the task of commander-in-chief of the Knight's Wind.

Of course, his task was not heavy. Although Tahan was leaving, he would not take his two important deputies with him.

With Jian Yuan and Charles around, the main force still has someone to lead it, and Roland's main task is just to help Xu Lai convey orders.

After giving all the instructions, Xu Lai sat quietly in the big tent, closing his eyes to rest.

Soon, the sky turned pale, and the sun shone on the plain of Pafix, presenting a beautiful rainbow.

In the second half of last night, the traces of clouds and mist spread by the three water qilins did not completely dissipate.

A large amount of water vapor remains in the air, and when illuminated by the sunlight, it refracts brilliant light.

With the help of the rising sun, Xu Lai climbed up the arrow tower and vaguely saw the demon army.

Above the devil's head, there are large patches of red clouds.

Xu Lai knew that those were not real clouds, but countless fire elves stacked up in the sky, forming a scene that appeared as one piece from a distance.

This number is impossible to estimate. It must be more than tens of thousands. The Abyss Lords estimate that they have really used up all their magic power.

Of course, what is squeezed out is only the magic power that one carries with him.

And in the demon camp, there was a faint blue light emanating from it, which the sharp-eyed Giselle could recognize at a glance.

It was a brilliant halo that could speed up the recovery of mana, and judging from its range and concentration, the demons had put in a lot of effort.

Compared with the thick red clouds in the sky, the pale green light on the ground is slightly inferior.

However, it is only slightly inferior. Although the number of Hellfires is far less than that of Fire Elves, one Hellfire is equivalent to the size of a dozen Fire Elves.

The dark, sinister green light was enough to make one's hair stand on end even if one looked at it from more than ten kilometers away.

Several generals, Giselle, Roland, Emilia, and Yu Lan, all appeared in front of Xu Lai early.

"Please take a seat first. Time is running out. Let's take the time to have breakfast."

While eating, Xu Lai asked someone to beat the assembly drum so that the soldiers would have breakfast earlier than them.

While the soldiers were gathering, Xu Lai quickly deployed the army, and took the secretaries with him to get out all the summoned creatures.

Xu Lai's orders were very strange. If Anna had not been there and confirmed again and again that Xu Lai was not controlled by any evil spell, everyone would have left reluctantly.

The sound of the assembly drum on the human side traveled very far, and even Mendis and others in the demon camp could hear it clearly.

"We're gathering our troops before the fog has even dispersed. This strange fog really has no effect on humans."

Although Mendis knew something about the water unicorn, it was an extinct creature after all, so he didn't know the details.

Affected by the traces of clouds and mist, the demons' vision was greatly obstructed.

In addition, they have no height advantage, so humans can see them with the help of clouds and fog, but they cannot see humans at all.

"By the way, your Lord Ferris told me yesterday that the newly rising human king on the grassland has mobilized the entire country to attack us this time.

The subordinate named Xu Lai also has a very high-level elf who is particularly good at defense. Will she come to support him?

We haven't surrounded the human city yet, and the female elf can fly over with a time-space gate."

Mendis asked a human beside him.

This human was actually a former noble of the Western Empire, a human hero with the title of earl.

Of course, he had already surrendered to hell and was serving the female devil Ferris.

Because they were fighting against humans, Mendis directly asked for this human hero.

“Respected Lord Mendis, you can rest assured about this. To cooperate with you, my master has ordered people to attack the female elf.

Unless the female elves have wings, they will not be able to arrive in a few days if they are in a state of combat. " (End of this chapter)
