The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

The next level above the high priest is the angel, and these high priests were all exchanged by Xu Lai from the church before, and they are all recruited units.

This also means that Xu Lai can send these 30 or so new angels directly back to Qingfeng City, and use Qingfeng City’s advanced Cloud City to directly upgrade them to archangels.

Even with the support of various artifacts, the Congress, and the statue of the God of War, the output of angels in the advanced Cloud City has become extremely exaggerated.

However, more than 30 archangels are still equivalent to Qingfeng City’s output for 3 or 4 months.

And these more than 30 archangels are far from the limit.

In this lightning storm, a large number of demons were killed, and many priests were promoted to high priests.

Even if the remaining high priests have not advanced, they have accumulated a lot of experience points, and they may advance by killing some demons.

In terms of numbers, after deducting more than 30 high priests who had advanced, more than 80 were added, and the number increased instead of decreased.

However, after the advancement of more than 50 priests, the number of priest troops has been reduced to about 500.

During these two months in Qingfeng City, he did accumulate some resources, but Xu Lai could not advance all of them to the high priest.

The high priest is more inclined towards combat and only knows the lowest-level auxiliary spells. In terms of healing and auxiliary abilities, he is completely incomparable to the priest.

The 100 bishops that Xu Lai advanced with the mountain fortress played a huge role in the battles of these days.

If it weren't for these bishops and priests, he would not have led the new soldiers to attack the city continuously, and there would not have been so few casualties until now.

The powerful auxiliary ability of the priest cannot be abandoned, and the angels with strong combat capabilities also need to be scaled up.

It's just the blueprint of a church. Only temples can produce it, and there are only a handful of cities that have churches.

This kind of church is a heroic building that must be built heroically.

But it is not the kind of church built by the temple itself, which is used by bishops in various regions to work and for believers to worship.

Therefore, it is really difficult to expand the scale of pastors on a large scale.

Even at the Pope's suggestion, the temple has already built a new priest college in Qingfeng City to train new priests.

But firstly, these pastors cannot be trained quickly. Even for extremely talented young men and women, it takes three years at the shortest and five years or more to graduate.

Secondly, the main purpose of these priests is to spread the faith of the God of War, not to work for Xu Lai.

However, given Xu Lai's relationship with the temple, there would be no problem in seconding their priest.

However, this time, he did not send troops directly to rescue Lionheart City. Most of the senior priests in the temple had already formed an opinion about him.

Opinions are opinions, and Xu Lai will not change his strategy because of other people's opinions.

After destroying the city of Kasai, Xu Lai sent people to dig out the heart of the castle, leaving Jian Yuan and Charles behind to continue searching the Pafix Plain with the cavalry.

After all, this place was once occupied by demons, and most of the terrain is still hellish.

The demons are like fish in water in such terrain.

Especially units like Fire Elves and Fire Trolls, which are completely immune to fire damage.

These demons can stay in any lava pit and humans will not be able to detect them.

After all, even a level 8 or 9 warrior cannot survive long in magma that is several thousand degrees.

However, there is no food in the lava after all, and these demons cannot stay in it forever even if they are dormant.

Therefore, until the terrain is fully restored, we must continue to maintain close patrols and never let these demons come out to harm people again.

After this disaster, it is unknown how many years it will take for the Western Empire to restore its original population size.

No matter how Xu Lai makes adjustments, no matter how much he encourages production and intermarriage, it will take time.

The reconstruction of Kasai City will be handed over to Rio Canal who has arrived.

He himself and his infantrymen set up camp in the wild to rest.

The battle does not end here. After retaking Berkshire, Lena will lead her army to continue moving eastward.

And after resting, Xu Lai also needs to lead the team to clear all obstacles along the way to Grey Valley.

The legions of both sides will meet in front of the Grey Valley.

For Xu Lai, this is not far away, but for Lena, it may take some time.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Lai rested his troops and continued to expand the Xiandeng Camp. He then led the Qingfeng Legion to sweep across all the Hell Cities near the Grey Valley.

The new hero Tahan brought the new angels who were waiting to be promoted back to Qingfeng City through the teleportation array of Brilliant City.

After arriving in Qingfeng City, Tahan still had a few things to do.

First of all, he had to use the teleportation array as much as possible according to the map drawn by Xu Lai and the intelligence department, and get to the special locations marked on the map as quickly as possible.

In these places, various attributes and levels can be quickly improved.

Due to time constraints, even Xu Lai had not visited many locations and outdoor buildings on the latest map.

However, even though Xu Lai had not been to these places, he had visited buildings with the same names in other places.

In this world, the same building cannot be visited repeatedly, otherwise a superhero could be created just by stacking these wild buildings.

The Seven Dragon Shrine is an extremely important place, and Xu Lai has never been to it. He plans to go there in person after Tahan returns.

Secondly, Tahan also needs to gather together the soldiers recruited in the past few months so that he can bring them back together when the time comes.

There are soldiers provided by the dungeon every month, soldiers provided by the stronghold every month, and soldiers purchased from the market.

After two months of accumulation, the number of these alone has reached tens of thousands.

The real big guys are actually the recruited soldiers gathered from all the occupied areas of the Eagle Kingdom.

This includes not only hundreds of towns, fortresses, bases and castles in the Eagle Kingdom.

It also includes the entire grassland and field barracks in most areas of the Western Empire.

Of course, the troops from so many places have to be recruited one by one by Tahan, and he would never be able to finish the task even if he died of exhaustion.

The Eagle Kingdom now has its own mercenary guild, and there are also many advent heroes registered in it.

Xu Lai issued the mission directly through the Mercenary Guild, entrusting these descended heroes to go to various field barracks, recruit troops, and transport them to the designated three cities.

Qingfeng City, Konaston Castle and the Brilliant City which is located on the front line.

Although he can only be a transportation hero, there are still many people vying for such tasks.

One reason is that Xu Lai is quite generous. As long as the soldiers are transported to the designated city within the specified time, the reward given is not low.

Another reason is that, although the recruited soldiers do not belong to them, if they encounter battles and bully wild monsters on the road, the experience points and rewards will still be counted as heroes.

Of course, if the battle fails and the troops suffer losses, the party accepting the mission must bear the liability for compensation.

Before accepting a mission, these descending heroes must pay a sufficient deposit.

The deposit was not given to Xu Lai, but to the Mercenary Guild. After the mission failed, the Mercenary Guild would transfer the money to Xu Lai.

However, during this process, even with the help of others, Tahan still won't have an easy time.

After all, no matter what, it is impossible to let these mercenary heroes transport troops too far.

It is still necessary for Tahan to go to these three major cities in person to pick up and drop off.

If tens of thousands of troops were to be transported in a teleportation array, the cost would be too high for Xu Lai to bear. Moreover, they could not be transported in one batch and would take a long time.

It just so happened that Tahan had become a hero and could buy spell books and use strategic spells.

But Tahan did not learn the art of wisdom, so he still could not learn strategic spells above level 3.

Xu Lai gave Tahan the master-level "Gate of Time and Space" scroll that he had obtained.

Xu Lai's earth magic has reached the intermediate level, and he also learned the spell of Gate of Time and Space in the Emerald City.

His master-level scroll of space-time gate is certainly useful, if he has enough physical strength and takes a short rest, he can use it twice in a day.

But the intermediate time and space gate spell can already allow Xu Lai to choose the city to return to.

Even after using this time and space gate, he will become weak and exhausted, and will be unable to move for 24 hours.

There are side effects, but they are not unbearable.

On the contrary, after Tahan had this scroll, he could concentrate the military forces of at least two cities within one day.

Sometimes, if you run too far in the wild, you can also use the time and space gate to teleport directly to a city with a teleportation array.

Tahan took on this important task, so Xu felt more relaxed here and didn't have to travel around for days.

The troops rested in place for five days, and Xu Lai also took Elvy, Yu Lan, Anna and others for a stroll for three days.

The Western Continent is in ruins, and to be honest, there isn't much to see.

Moreover, the Paphix Plain, which was once a fertile land and known as a granary, now has no one to farm it, let alone the fields.

Even the resources in the waterwheel and windmill have been left uncollected.

The most fertile and most productive soil next to the waterwheel was left uncultivated.

Watching each scene, Xu Lai felt heartbroken.

Five days is a bit too long for the Qingfeng Legion.

Although they were fighting all the time, they were winning every battle and their morale never dropped.

Just give yourself 3 days to relax. If the time is too long, you will easily become lax.

But just because the Qingfeng Corps doesn’t need it doesn’t mean other troops don’t need it.

The Murlocs and Nagas are not used to such long-term confrontation and fighting.

In addition, the Xiandeng camp also needs to be reorganized.

Eric expelled some cowardly people and recruited a large number of new rebels.

After Xu Lai took over the entire Pafix Plain, many of the original rebel forces immediately surrendered.

There was a city called Kasai that was blocking the way before, and Xu Lai didn't want to kill them all, so he ignored the rest of the people.

But after taking over Kasai City, he would no longer tolerate any other forces to grow and develop in his territory.

Although Xu Lai did not say it explicitly, the fact that he handed the task of recruiting the rebels over to Eric again was enough to explain the problem.

This time, Eric did not disappoint Xu Lai.

The Marquis who claimed to be the heir to the title of Marquis of Casse not only rejected Eric again, but even demanded that Xu Lai compensate for the losses of Casse City.

Almost everyone in the entire Paphix Plain knew about the lightning storm that day.

Eric was so angry that he almost laughed. He didn't know what was going on with the brain of this Marquis of Casse, who was from a side branch.

Perhaps it was the nearly one thousand years of imperial rule that had made their thinking rigid, and they still believed that as long as they had a prominent status, they could have everything as a matter of course.

Not to mention that the empire has already fallen apart, even if the empire still exists, it is impossible for it to go to war with another powerful kingdom for him.

What's more, it was Xu Lai who took back the city of Kasai from the devil. What does it have to do with the Marquis of Kasai who claims to be a marquis?

So, the commander of the Vanguard Camp, who had been speaking well of the rebels, chopped off the Marquis of Casse's head with one sword.

Not only him, but also his newly recruited knights, squires, followers, servants, etc. were all killed.

Eric was still very sensible. He knew that at this time, it was not appropriate to offend Xu Lai again.

These guys were all blinded by the Marquis' halo and lost their minds.

If we can't handle it cleanly and efficiently this time, and Xu Lailai takes over, I'm afraid the entire resistance army will be thoroughly purged.

Now that it is his turn to take action, at least others will not resent Xu Lai.

After all, Xu Lai is still the ruler of the Eagle Kingdom, and these rebels, to put it bluntly, are just civilians.

If they act on impulse and do something stupid, it won't just be the dozens of people who die.

After killing Marquis Casse, the rest of the people knelt down and surrendered without any hesitation.

Except for a few stubborn ones, several rebel forces were basically recruited by Eric.

Originally this was something that could be done within three days, but Xu Lai gave it two more days because he looked down upon the current Xiandeng Battalion.

Not to mention the varying quality of the equipment, the entire first-line camp was self-equipped anyway.

The quality of key personnel is also uneven, with high-level ones including level 6 knights and level 7 mercenary kings.

Some were even farmers who grew crops. In short, almost all those who escaped from the control of the devil joined the resistance.

Now is the time to resume production in Paphikes Plain, so Xu Lai gave Eric another two days to eliminate at least 70%.

Those who are the first to reach the landing must be willing to die. Those who are of low rank, timid, or poorly equipped will only drag down the quality of the entire army if they stay in the first landing camp.

Xu Lai's request caused the Xiandeng Camp, which was originally planned to be expanded to 3000 people, to shrink to people in an instant.

However, the average level of these 3000 people is level 5, and almost everyone has a piece of magic equipment.

With such combat effectiveness, coupled with the support of head coach Eric and some priests deployed by Xu Lai, the team will already have the ability to fight independently.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Xiandeng Camp had just completed the changes and still needed training.

The soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion have been a little lax after being indulged for the past few days.

So Xu Lai simply gave the order, commanding the troops to march quickly to the area around Grey Valley to sweep.

If there is a problem, expose it before the battle. If there is no problem, you can train the troops and take the time to recover. (End of this chapter)
