The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 690: Killing Mendis
Although Patton was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but be startled when he actually saw it.
"Are those humans locusts? How could they move so much, so quickly?"
No one knows better than him, the mayor of Briston, how much supplies are stored in Briston.
This place is the base camp reserved by Kerrigan. Almost all demon cities have to pay tribute to Briston.
In such a hurry, it was already very rare for him to bring as many demon troops as possible into Briston. He had no time and energy to take care of the supplies.
Who would have thought that all the supplies he had no control over would disappear overnight.
There are millions of demons there, and it takes several days to transport the supplies.
But he no longer had time to worry about the supplies. He first needed to make sure whether those damn humans had left.
It's not enough to be outside the city. Today, Briston not only has lost its outer city wall, but even a large part of the moat has been filled up.
In fact, not only the city wall, but also some buildings close to the city wall have been razed to the ground.
It’s not that Xu Lai was bored, it’s just that he accidentally injured the demon when he was using magic ammunition to kill it.
These razed houses and buildings were not wasted and were all pushed into the moat.
The magma in the lava river is not produced by itself, and will gradually cool down if there is no one to maintain it.
The things that Xu Lai pushed in only accelerated the process and created some difficulty for the demons to restore the moat.
All the supplies in the city, the craftsmen in the dungeon, and even their families have disappeared.
The scouting demons saw no signs of human activity nearby.
Mendis didn't want to be trapped in the city any longer, as it would be difficult to escape.
He also knew that in a few days at most, Kerrigan would most likely lead his team back to rescue.
At that time, he had no chance to leave.
The Gate to the Abyss was destroyed, and he had been defeated many times by Xu Lai before. He felt ashamed and was also afraid of being punished by Kerrigan.
Therefore, Mendis said goodbye to Patton directly and expressed his intention to leave Briston.
Patton originally wanted to keep Mendis so that he could help share some of the responsibilities when the time comes.
But on second thought, now that Mendis is gone, it would be a good opportunity to throw dirty water on him.
And even though Kerrigan didn't get angry about Tren's matter before, it doesn't mean he won't get angry after seeing the Abyss Gate being destroyed.
Patton specially prepared many witnesses for himself, but unfortunately, those big demons were basically killed in the battle.
If Mendis stirs up trouble again, the consequences will be disastrous.
At that moment, Patton stopped trying to stop them and let Mendis leave with his abyss lords and abyss demons.
In fact, although Mendis was the defeated party in several wars, the losses were not heavy.
The biggest loss was the loss of a lot of abyss demons, and the abyss lords lost only about two to three thousand at most.
The size of the troops may have been reduced by more than half, but the actual combat effectiveness has been lost by more than one third at most.
There's no way. They rely on summoned creatures to fight, and they have a keen sense of battlefield, so they can always avoid most risks.
Mendis actually didn't know where to go, but no matter where he went, he didn't want to stay in this place anymore. He was already traumatized by this place.
That human hero was too powerful. Under his influence, every human warrior of the same level would be upgraded by at least 2-3 levels.
The best way is to find a way to assassinate the commander of the human army first.
In that case, hundreds of thousands of infantry and cavalry would not be enough to defeat his abyss lords.
However, not long after it flew out, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the ground.
The Phantom Archers had already evacuated yesterday during the day. At night, the infantry and archers of the Qingfeng Legion also carried supplies and left under the cover of darkness.
Only for the cavalry unit, Xu Lai left behind Yan Feng's Cavalry Regiment and Roland's Knights of Holy Light.
Together with Elvy's angel army, although the total number of angels left is not large, their combat effectiveness and movement speed are extremely strong.
Xu Lai was unwilling to let these demons escape, and he had attack acceleration and a talent for super speed.
Not to mention meeting Kerrigan, with his current level and equipment, he would at least be able to fight.
Even if the enemy's forces are outnumbered and don't want to fight, at least they can run away.
Besides, the only passage that controls the Grey Valley and guards most of the Western Empire is now in Xu Lai's hands and is guarded by a general.
If Kerrigan wanted to eat him up, he would either have to send the air force to surround him or send troops to cut off his retreat.
But if we send troops to cut off his retreat, the troops we send out will have to withstand attacks from both Xu Lai and Lena.
Unless Kerrigan personally takes action, it would be impossible to stop Xu Lai.
But if Kerrigan goes to cut off the retreat himself, who will stop Xu Lai in front?
Xu Lai has a warehouse ring on him, so he can support not only these ten thousand people, but also tens of thousands more.
He could choose to stay behind and fight against Kerrigan's guerrillas, and when Kerrigan attacked Graycastle, he could launch a surprise attack on the rear or the food supply route.
If Kerrigan came after him, he could also choose to evacuate.
Gray Valley can only stop these demons, but not him.
Not to mention that he has the magician's book, masters all the fifth-level spells, and can cast the magic of flight to fly away.
Even if he didn't fly, he could still go all the way south to the Krubi River, Amber Lake and other water bodies.
Both of these waters are connected to the Hanjiang River.
Two or three months had passed, and he had no idea about the combat effectiveness of Xu Lai's coast defense force.
But it shouldn't be a big problem to help more than 10,000 of them return home.
At least during this period of time, Xu Lai only heard the report that they were able to completely control Han Jiang, and did not hear any other bad news at all.
With no worries about the retreat, Xu Lai stayed behind in person, firstly to cover their retreat, and secondly to see if he could get any advantage.
Because he worked too late yesterday, he got up a little later today outside the city.
As a result, he had only eaten half of his breakfast when he saw a large group of abyss demons and abyss lords slowly flying up from Briston.
This group of huge demons relied on two huge bat wings to flap vigorously in an attempt to drag their huge bodies.
Given their huge size, flying to a height of more than 100 meters is not considered slow, and it is enough most of the time.
Even if they are within the archers' range, they can still fly directly over the shield wall and city wall according to their flying speed.
The archer's two-handed greatsword cannot compare to the two-handed greatswords of the abyss demon and the abyss lord.
The two-handed greatswords of the Abyss Lords can have a group attack effect when swung out, and can wipe out a large area of shooters.
Therefore, usually, Abyss Demons and Abyss Lords are not afraid of Archers.
But there is a type of shooter that is more effective against them.
It should be said that this type of archer can restrain most types of troops. Archer cavalry once swept across the Eurasian continent on Earth.
In this magical world, they cannot be said to be invincible. At least opponents with slower movement speeds than them will be very troublesome.
And under Xu Lai's super-speed talent and the banner of chivalry.
Even without equipment such as knight gloves, few units can surpass these knights who are only level 7 at most in speed.
It’s a pity that Xu Lai did not master the god-level archery skill, otherwise with the bonus of god-level archery skill, he might be able to kill all these abyss lords.
The Abyss Demons were the first combat force to be consumed. After the first two battles, there were not many left, roughly half of the existing Abyss Lords.
Faced with the archers who could not be shaken off and whose ammunition could be replenished even after they ran out, Mendis was also panicked.
He originally wanted to turn around and hide from Briston for a while.
Unexpectedly, when Patton discovered his intention, his fiery red face turned from red to blue, and then from blue to purple.
Just now, when there was no way to confirm whether Briston was safe, this guy couldn't wait to run away, fearing that he would be destroyed along with Briston.
At this moment, he was clearly in danger, but he tried to use Briston's power to escape.
Even though he knew that Briston was related to his life and property, he still treated Briston as a tool.
"All units, attention, aim at Mendis, shoot!"
Patton roared, condensed a huge fireball, and smashed it towards Mendis.
Mendis was startled. He was not too afraid of the fireball, but Briston had set up countless crossbows overnight.
At this time, even if we don't shoot tens of thousands of arrows at once, there will be at least a thousand or eight hundred arrows.
The key is the power of the crossbow, especially the advanced crossbow. After the addition of ballistics and archery, it is extremely terrifying.
With thousands of crossbow ammunition and countless fireballs, Mendis braked in the air in time.
But even so, there were several Abyss Lords around him, and they were shot to death in order to block the knife for Mendis.
These are the personal guards he trained, and each one is well-equipped.
The rest of the Abyss Lords also suffered heavy losses. This wave of volleys alone killed at least a hundred of them.
It can be said that the damage caused by this wave of volleys was basically equivalent to the damage caused by the group of archers chasing him for three or four minutes.
There is no way around it. The cavalry archers use short bows, which are one level less powerful than infantry bows of the same level.
Even after all the wars, most of Yan Feng's subordinates have advanced to the level of 7th-level heroes, and the lowest has reached the level of 6th-level rangers.
But the power was reduced. Although the Abyss Lords and his men were flying at an altitude of only over a hundred meters, they were flying in the sky.
Unless it is a Sky Shooter, Phantom Shooter, or Titan, the range of all shooters will be automatically reduced by one third when shooting at aerial targets.
Yan Feng and his men could not shoot directly below others, otherwise they would be killed by others and would not have enough distance to escape.
As a result, many archers' shots were beyond half the arrow's range, causing only half the damage.
Even though Xu Lai had the ultimate archery skills, the statue of the god of war, and high morale, he no longer had the archer's treasure.
On the other hand, Mendis not only has the ultimate defense to protect him, but also has the specialties of the Abyss Lord and Abyss Demon.
If it weren't for the low morale and 10% defense reduction, the archers' damage would be much lower.
If Briston's approach didn't work, Mendis would use the same old trick and split the team into two parts.
A group of them, led by their trusted followers, led all the abyss demons and flew in the opposite direction of the human capital, Lionheart City.
Lionheart City had long been an isolated city, and that place might have been blocked by Kerrigan's spell. Only when the city was broken did news come from the temple.
After that, no more news came out of the entire Lionheart City.
Therefore, Xu Lai only knew that Lionheart City had been broken and that Kerrigan had a large army stationed there.
Only the demons knew very well that Lionheart City had not only been destroyed, but the entire city had fallen into the hands of the demons.
I don’t know the specific situation, but Xu Lai will definitely not go in that direction.
The result was that Mendis's strategy of dividing his forces completely failed. Not only did it not work at all, but it also concentrated all the firepower on his own Abyss Lord.
Mendis's spells couldn't reach Xu Lai and his men, so he simply released an attack acceleration on his own troops.
However, seeing this scene, Xu Lai rode forward quickly, rushed into the coverage of the spell, and used a slowing-down spell on the opponent.
Mendis was so angry that he vomited blood, but the effect of the slowing down technique completely covered the attack acceleration.
He no longer had the scroll to dispel the spell, so he could only wait until the next time he cast the spell to think of a solution.
Xu Lai took advantage of the enemy's slowdown to calmly replenish his ammunition.
The heroes' quivers had been emptied before, so Xu Lai replenished them with Behemoth armor-piercing arrows that had a stronger defense-ignoring effect.
The price of armor-piercing arrows is much higher than that of ordinary arrows, but these heroes have their own armor-piercing arrows, and Xu Lai has also used Yan Feng's arrows before.
However, the Behemoth armor-piercing arrow was made by Xu Lai after he slaughtered thousands of Behemoths in the stronghold.
He sold a lot of Behemoth's claws, and kept the rest to make armor-piercing arrows, each of which could ignore at least 50% of the defense.
Those of good quality can ignore about 60%-75%. Only a few armor-piercing arrows made with Ghost Behemoth can ignore 100% of the defense.
Sure enough, after replacing this batch of armor-piercing arrows, the casualties of Mendis and his abyss lords increased instantly.
Gritting his teeth, Mendis decided to divide his troops again, but he had just cast a spell, so he deliberately disrupted the order of the troops before dividing them.
Hiding in the large army, Mendis quietly changed himself into a set of ordinary equipment.
He ordered his conspicuously equipped personal guards to lead a larger group of Abyss Lords, about 5000 in number, and flew northward.
He mixed in with the remaining 2000 Abyss Lords and flew towards the northeast.
For a moment, Xu Lai was unable to recognize where Mendis was.
So he also divided his troops, and he and Yan Feng went their separate ways.
Yan Feng had enough acceleration scrolls, and Xu Lai had also specifically warned him not to get close, and he also had enough ammunition reserves.
Even if it is not as good as Behemoth's armor-piercing arrows, it should not be a problem to kill most of the five thousand Abyss Lords.
He himself, along with the Seraphim Elvy, continued to chase the small group of Abyss Lords.
Because Elvy and the others had not shown up before and had been flying over the heads of the Abyss Lords for reconnaissance, they were ignored by Mendis.
As a result, not long after Mendis divided his troops, Elvy, who received an order from Xu Lai, rushed down with the angel army that had expanded to 400 people.
Xu Lai also lit up the light of prayer at the right time to add an ultimate BUFF for the angels.
With the blessing of prayer light, the statue of the god of war, the Angel Alliance and other treasures, even a level 7 little angel can challenge two or three abyss lords alone.
Although Mendis had changed his equipment, he was not discovered immediately.
But his fighting ability is even worse than that of ordinary Abyss Lords.
After this small group of Abyss Lords was completely annihilated, Xu Lai only knew that the angels had killed Mendis, but he did not know which angel had killed Mendis. (End of this chapter)
