The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Mendis was deeply impressed by Tahan. After all, it was this daring cavalryman who thrust his lance deeply into the leg of the Abyss Demon.

So, when Ferris said that Tahan was here to steal the crossbow arrows, although Mendis felt something was wrong, he did not doubt it too much.

However, the weather began to change, and a terrifying aura was erupting wildly with Tahan as the center.

After eliminating all possibilities, the most unlikely and least willing to believe must be the truth.

"He is releasing a forbidden spell, hurry up, find a way to stop him!"

Mendis roared loudly and even sent out a small team of capable Abyss Lords.

Ferris did not dare to hesitate and personally operated an advanced crossbow cart, aiming at Tahan.

The team of Abyss Lords that took off were shot to pieces by a large group of Phantom Archers before they could get close to Tahan.

Mendis originally wanted to fly over personally and throw his most powerful fireball to Tahan.

Seeing a full team of 100 Abyss Lords being shot to death almost instantly, he dared not take any action.

The situation on Ferris's side was similar. The damage of the advanced crossbow she personally controlled was not that high.

After all, mechanical equipment such as crossbows mainly rely on their own basic attack power, and do not have many requirements for the users.

Seeing the dark clouds looming over the city, Mendis became more and more frightened.

"I'll leave this to you. We'll just be wasting resources here anyway."

After saying this, Mendis actually ordered the abyss demons and abyss lords under his command to assemble.

Ferris knew that demons were all selfish guys.

This guy was worried about being punished when he returned, and he knew he couldn't defeat the angel army in the sky, so he shamelessly stayed in Kasai City to eat and drink for free.

Now that Kasai City was in trouble, this guy actually ran away like this?

Although she was very unwilling, Ferris had no other choice. She couldn't fly, and even if she could, she couldn't stop Mendis.

But it was not so easy for Mendis to escape. Before he could gather the troops scattered on the city walls, the lightning storm that had been brewing for a long time finally came.

The dark sky suddenly cracked into several hideous cracks.

Thunder rolled in the gloomy clouds, and hundreds of bright lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the entire city.

The air above the city was filled with a burning smell, and crackling lightning was raging in the city of Kasai.

Each bolt of lightning carried terrifying power and struck the demons one by one.

After wearing a full set of Angel Alliance suits and taking potions, Tahan was much more powerful than Xu Lai had originally expected.

There are at least 120 lightning bolts per second, and more than 7000 lightning bolts in one minute.

The demon is resistant to fire, so Xu Lai's talent of burning rage is of little use.

But the demons that are resistant to fire have no resistance to air spells.

The troops of both sides did not form a legion, but both Ferris and Mendis were high-level heroes of the Hell camp.

Both of them have the ultimate resistance, but they have no other anti-magic equipment.

Countless lightning bolts struck down, unless they were blocked by resistance or struck the 8th-level Abyss Lord.

The rest of the units, even the 7th level Abyss Demon, would be killed on the spot if they had worse equipment or suffered critical damage.

Mendis took off with his men, but Elvy was well prepared and intercepted them outside the range of the thundercloud.

In addition to Elvy, Xu Lai also deployed the crossbowmen of the Qingfeng Legion on the west city wall.

The archery unit of the Qingfeng Legion was deployed on the east city wall.

To the north is the Phantom Shooter Unit led by Xu Lai himself. Mendis must be crazy to choose to break through from this side.

Only to the south, Xu Lai left only the cavalry unit led by Charles, who was responsible for guarding Xu Lai's few priests and high priests.

Although the long-range firepower on this side cannot be compared with the other three sides, there is the support of the Angel Legion, which can form a three-dimensional cross-fire.

This time all the angels are mobilized, a legion of nearly 300 angels. Even if they can't cover the entire sky, they can at least cover most of it.

As the commander of the legion, Tahan can also attach the power of the Angel Alliance to the angels.

Even this time, neither of the two demon heroes, Mendis, thought of dispelling the effect of prayer on humans.

Although the number of Abyss Lords and Abyss Demons is large, they are no match for the angels due to the morale penalty of escape.

What's more, Elvy and the others only need to intercept the other party and prevent them from breaking out of the storm circle. Naturally, the priests and lightning below will cause trouble for them.

The forbidden spell has been unleashed, and many of Mendis's men have been hit, and even he was hit by a lightning bolt.

If it weren't for the magic shield on his body that worked and completely offset the lightning, he would have been knocked down even if he hadn't been electrocuted to death.

The paralysis effect that comes with the lightning storm can last for at least several seconds.

Given the Abyss Lord's huge size, if he paused for a few seconds, he would immediately fall to the ground.

Just now, Mendis saw many of his subordinates who had withstood a bolt of lightning being thrown to death in the city of Kasai.

In this state, Mendis had no intention of getting entangled with humans.

If he wasted one more second, he might lose dozens of his subordinates, and he simply could not accept such a loss.

"Don't crowd together, hurry up and break out from the other three sides."

On the other three sides, Xu Lai also deployed a large number of long-range troops.

However, due to their size, the Abyss Demon and the Abyss Lord cannot fly too high and are basically unable to avoid attacks from mid- and high-level ranged troops.

Even though the soldiers Xu Lai brought with him this time were new recruits, the lowest among them who had fought so far were 4th-level longbowmen and 4th-level heavy crossbowmen.

Soldiers below level 4 were either eliminated or transferred to the security team.

But even so, the success rate of breaking through from the east and west directions is still higher.

After all, the ranged troops in these two directions are of relatively low levels.

The archer's attack speed is fast enough, but the damage is not as high as that of the crossbowman. Even if you focus your fire, you cannot kill a large number of demons.

Crossbowmen have armor-piercing damage, and their basic damage is greater than that of archers. Their single-shot damage is higher than that of archers.

However, the crossbowmen's reeling speed was too slow, and the interval in between was relatively long.

The abyss demons withstood the long-range firepower from the east and west sides, and after suffering some casualties, many of them finally escaped.

Fortunately, they were separated from the east and west and could not gather in one direction.

In a hurry, Mendis did not specify a meeting city, and most of the escaped demons flew towards Briston.

This is the devil's base camp, and Mendis and his companions are all fleeing in a scattered manner.

In addition, they all knew that the entire Pafix Plain was basically controlled by Xu Lai.

No matter which city they landed in, they would be surrounded by enemies. More importantly, they had already run out of supplies, and many demons had even been hungry for several days.

They were eager to return to the demons' own city.

Throughout the Western Empire, no city is safer than Briston.

Although Xu Lai could guess where these demons were going, he did not have enough flying soldiers to intercept them, nor was it possible for him to wait for them at the end point.

Fortunately, they fled in different places and with the bonus of morale debuff, their speed was not too fast.

These abyss demons and abyss lords all suffered heavy losses.

Mendis was also traumatized by the beating caused by Xu Lai, and he probably won't dare to confront Xu Lai again in the future.

Mendis and the others can fly, and Xu Lai can't stop them even if he wants to. He can only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

But even so, he at least defeated half of the abyss demons and abyss lords, which was equivalent to destroying hundreds of years of accumulation of Mendis.

However, Ferris, who was surrounded on all sides and trapped in the city with nowhere to go, had no wings.

Not only did she have no wings, but her only high-level flying troops were also destroyed by Mendis.

It is impossible for the Winged Demon to fight its way out of the air relying solely on it.

Not only is the Winged Demon's vitality incomparable to the Abyss Demon, its defense is also far inferior.

Even if it is a longbowman, he can be killed instantly by the concentrated fire of several people.

What's more, the Winged Demon Legion is unable to carry humans, so even if they can fly out, they can only escape on their own.

With Xu Lai already controlling the entire surrounding area, these winged demons didn't even have a place to rest.

If they dared to land on the Paphike Plain, the cavalry that followed would be able to kill them in minutes.

The only thing Ferris can do now is to find a way to avoid this storm.

Fortunately, although the lightning storm is terrifying, it will prioritize attacking exposed enemies.

Ferris and her personal guards blocked the castle of Kasai and threw all her subordinates outside to suffer the punishment of heavenly thunder.

The only thing she did to be worthy of her troops was that she finally remembered the scroll in her space ring and released a magical air control technique.

With this magical skill of controlling air, at least some troops with strong skin and flesh, such as the long-focus demons and the generals, will not be killed in one blow.

Or, take advantage of the fact that the troops still have some strength at this time and concentrate their forces to break out from one direction.

However, due to the terrifying lightning storm overhead, Ferris had already lost control of his troops.

The general can't find his soldiers, and the soldiers can't find their captain.

Some demons, out of fear, tried to hide in houses or nests in an attempt to escape this disaster.

There were also some demons who were unwilling to be struck to death, so they gathered together some demons and rushed out from various city gates.

Xu Lai's preparations were actually not sufficient, as he did not have many troops, while the number of demons was too large.

If the demons could organize themselves well, rush out of the city in an orderly manner, and choose a direction to break out, they might actually have a chance to escape.

Of course, even if they could escape for a while, it would be impossible to stop the sweep of the cavalry in such a plain with no shelter on all sides.

It was because of this that Ferris never thought of breaking through from the beginning.

Unfortunately, not all demons think this way.

Every minute, every second, especially the power of the raging thunder in the sky, has not diminished in the slightest, and it seems like the end of the world will never be seen.

In this situation, not many demons can bear it. They either find a place to hide or rush out of the city to escape.

The ranged troops in the four directions would not even give the scattered demon troops a chance to get close, let alone let them break through.

The firepower of long-range troops also greatly saves the energy of the lightning storm, allowing the lightning storm to kill more demons.

As time went by, all the demons exposed outside the city were killed or injured.

At this point, even the dumbest demon would know to find a place to hide.

Unfortunately, lightning will not spare any living creature in the storm. Even if they hide in a house, it will only cause the house to collapse.

The entire city of Kasai has been completely transformed into a demon city.

Instead of wasting resources and effort to restore it to its original state, it is better to destroy it, take away the heart of the castle and its resources, and rebuild it.

A large number of soldiers died from lightning and the long-range firepower of human troops.

This caused the lightning storm, which was supposed to last for a full four hours, to finally run out of power and slowly dissipate unwillingly.

For a full four hours, Xu Lai and others didn't dare to get any closer.

Not to mention Xu Lai and the others, even a fly passing by could attract a bolt of lightning and be electrocuted to pieces.

From bright day to pitch black night, Xu Lai simply let the troops camp where they were and wait until the next day to enter the city.

The lightning storm stopped early, which meant that there was no living creature in the entire city.

It can be said that Ferris hid very well, but the castle where she was hiding had been completely destroyed, and Ferris hiding inside was naturally not spared.

The entire city was reduced to ruins because of the demons hiding everywhere.

But Xu Lai still arranged for troops to be on duty to prevent any unexpected situations.

At midnight, the battle report arrived as expected.

Even though Tahan was temporarily appointed as the commander of the legion, he still belonged to the Eagle Kingdom after all, and the battle reports were still sent to Xu Lai.

As expected, this was another resounding victory, and the battle report even called it a miraculous victory.

Because of this battle, apart from killing nearly one million demons gathered by Ferris, the human side suffered zero losses.

As the commander of this war, Tahan and the Eagle Kingdom both gained a lot of reputation.

Personal reputation and national reputation mean the same thing. When your national reputation is high, you will be famous and others will be more willing to join your country.

Of course, in addition to reputation, Tahan also gained a lot of experience.

The experience points were terrifying because he directly killed a high-level female devil and defeated a high-level abyss lord.

At the same time, most of these nearly one million demons died in the lightning storm, that is, they died at the hands of Tahan.

This allowed Tahan to directly advance two levels, which were the two levels after level 38.

Xu Lai also got some of the huge amount of experience, but it was only some that flowed out from the legion, which didn't even make his experience bar move.

After Tahan, the first to advance in large numbers were the priest troops under Xu Lai in the south.

Compared to the priests who were responsible for treatment, the priests who directly participated in the battle and killed a large number of abyss demons and other demons gained several times more experience.

Finally, with this large amount of experience, about 30 high priests were qualified to advance. (End of this chapter)
