The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

"Those demons are very powerful, and we have never seen them before. Even without the hero leading us, our warriors defending the city are no match for them.

Although my level is not particularly high, I have still climbed a lot of levels by following Legion Commander Reina.

I estimate that those demons are likely to be level 9."

As soon as Wang Chao finished speaking, Xu Lai couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you sure? Is there a new 9th-level soldier in Hell?"

Level 9 is not an ordinary type of soldier, but is called the ultimate type of soldier.

Among the nine major camps in the world, the most powerful human beings only have one ultimate type of soldier.

No matter how powerful Hell is, it is impossible to mass-produce so many of the never-before-seen Level 9.

In fact, Wang Chao was not sure. The demons from hell had just left and he had not received any battle reports.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Chao continued, "Leina Army Commander still attaches great importance to Little Gray Castle.

I brought 5000 people from the logistics force to garrison here. Legion Commander Reina also specially sent a thousand level 7 warriors, 500 golden armored warriors, and 500 sky shooters.

There were probably more than 300 demons, and it took no more than 20 minutes from their arrival to their departure.

In just over 20 minutes, they slaughtered a total of 500 golden-armored warriors, cut them into pieces, and completely destroyed their bodies.

The golden-armored warrior is a melee soldier, wearing heavy armor. Even if he is just a recruited unit, he still has my master-level defense bonus.

I can be sure that those demons are not level 9, but at least level 8 top demons, but I don’t think I saw them use any skills.”

Wang Chao’s defense level was pretty good, but later Xu Lai needed him to be in charge of the logistics troops, so he focused on auxiliary abilities such as logistics, pathfinding, and reconnaissance.

Of course, Xu Lai would not blame Wang Chao for retreating actively, hiding in the bunker and resisting passively.

After saying that, Wang Chao glanced at Xu Lai, as if hesitating whether to apologize or not.

But after looking at Elvy beside Xu Lai, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said:

“By the way, Brother Xu, I almost forgot to mention that the demons that came here don’t look much like the demons.

They don't have devil horns or devil wings. They are tall and look quite handsome and good-looking.

If they weren't dressed in black, I would have thought they were angels."

After hearing this, Xu Lai didn't react, but Alvy exclaimed: "It's them."

Xu Lai was stunned and looked at Elvy.

Elvy sighed and said, “The Hell camp has been trying to corrupt us.

They believe that only by corrupting the most sacred angels can they prove that the demons are the most powerful faction and race. "

"Corruption, how did it become corrupt?"

Elvy shook her head and said, "I don't know. Angels are sacred. I really can't imagine how to corrupt an angel.

I have always thought that fallen angels are impossible to exist, but I never thought that Kerrigan actually succeeded in creating a fallen angel."

Xu Lai shrugged. Even if he successfully created a fallen angel, it would only be an additional 9th-level soldier.

And as the name suggests, fallen angels must be based on angels.

Not to mention the difficulty of corrupting angels, there are not many angels in the entire human camp, so how many can Kerrigan have?

The reason why he played the Fallen Angel card and directly attacked Xu Lai's rear city was probably to intimidate them.

Angels have a lofty status in the human camp. The fact that Kerrigan even corrupted the angels is enough to prove two things.

First, Lionheart City and Holy Angel City may have really been destroyed, and a large number of angels have fallen into Kerrigan's hands.

Whether he uses charm or some other method, he controls the angels to do his bidding.

He used these angels to attack and destroy mankind, which was an extremely fatal blow to human morale.

In addition to undermining human morale, Kerrigan's move will also shake the foundation of the God of War and the temple.

When people discover that the angels who originally protected them have become butchers who killed them, their faith may collapse in an instant.

With the collapse of faith, the power of the God of War and the help he provides to mankind will naturally be greatly weakened, which is equivalent to weakening the power of the human camp.

The second thing is to prove to humans and other demons that he, Kerrigan, is still powerful.

The demons have been attacked badly by Xu Lai recently, and even the gate to the abyss has been destroyed. If Kerrigan doesn't do something to prove himself, the morale of the demons may never rise again.

At the same time, Kerrigan also used these angels to prove to Xu Lai that he had the ability to attack Xu Lai's rear.

If Xu Lai concentrates most of his forces in Graycastle, the cities in the rear will lose protection.

In the Little Gray Castle that Reina values ​​so much, those fallen angels can come and go freely and slaughter high-level combat units at will.

For the other cities in the rear, not to mention the defensive troops, even the security guards of the public security team may not be fully staffed.

Such a city has no ability to resist these fallen angels.

Of course, it is generally difficult to capture a city relying solely on the air force.

Although Xu Lai only brought elite troops to capture Fort Conaston, he was a human being after all, and he had help from others, and the troops were dispatched in time.

With only three to five hundred air forces, the demons can at most kill people to vent their anger. It is absolutely impossible for them to slowly dig deep into the ground to dig out the heart of the castle.

But despite this, Xu Lai had to deploy a longer line of defense, especially air supremacy.

The fallen angels, in addition to their own powerful strength, also have the help of Kerrigan's demon army.

Although Xu Lai also has an army of angels, their strength is relatively weak.

"Wang Chao, go tell the brothers later:

For example, the demon that attacked this time is called Terror Demon, which is an advanced form of Succubus. Its characteristic is that it can transform into the appearance of an angel to create panic!
In addition to the army, notices were posted in the city and the contents of the notices were passed on to other cities.

I will say hello to Su Ya and have all the cities behind us post it and let everyone know."

Compared with fallen angels, if it were just demons, then slaughtering humans would be a perfectly normal thing.

Apart from arousing human hatred and an increasingly rebellious mentality, it will not have a significant impact on morale.

Wang Chao also quickly understood Xu Lai's idea. He didn't want the angel's image to be damaged.

Like Xu Lai, Wang Chao is not a believer.

But he knew that most of the humans in the entire imperial camp were believers of the God of War, or at least pan-believers.

Once the people knew that the most loyal warriors of His Majesty the God of War had rebelled, there would be great panic.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Little Gray Castle was the first crime scene, and many people saw the fallen angel.

Maybe they haven't thought of it yet, but like Wang Chao, when they see the angel, they will instinctively compare. As the saying goes, it is better to open than to block. Instead of letting them keep silent and guess privately, it is better for Xu Lai to give them a direct answer.

Anyway, there was no way Kerrigan would jump out to refute and say that these monsters were transformed by him from angels.

Even if he could really jump out, could Kerrigan still give him Xu Laibi's credit?

Xu Lai was seriously lacking in physical strength, but he still did not go down to rest.

He stood in front of the bloodstains and personally directed his personal guards, as well as the craftsmen and soldiers of Little Gray Castle, to clean up the bloodstains on the ground and walls.

All the flesh and blood, as well as the fragments that were collected, were placed in a wooden box.

After the priests arrived, the body was purified by them before being buried.

In fact, most of those who died in the battle were recruits, and only a few officers and a few craftsmen who were working actually died.

After a while, the flesh and blood on the ground and walls will naturally turn into light and disappear.

But Xu Lai couldn't wait until then.

He dragged his tired body, stood in front of all the soldiers and civilians, and told them that he would definitely avenge them and would never let their blood shed in vain.

Xu Lai's impromptu speech was certainly intended to boost the morale of Little Graycastle, but it was also a true reflection of his inner thoughts.

Since coming to this world, Xu Lai has suffered limited losses. This time, more than 500 high-level warriors were killed in one breath, which was already a huge loss.

Considering his current status as the King of the Eagle Kingdom, it would be unjustifiable for him not to express his gratitude for this loss.

Elvy stood beside him, using her body to support Xu Lai, which was also a silent way of thanking him for maintaining his angelic image.

You know, if Xu Lai hadn't stepped forward and used his status as a king and all his past credibility as collateral, no matter how these angels explained, they would definitely be doubted and distrusted.

After being busy for a long time, Xu Lai simply lived in Little Gray Castle.

Anyway, there are rooms here that he cleaned himself, and the two strongest heroes under his command gathered in Graycastle.

Xu Lai lives here, so Lena, Tahan, Yan Feng and others will naturally come to Little Gray Castle to pay homage to him.

Gisele, Yu Lan, Anna and others, as Xu Lai's wives, naturally moved in directly.

After a dinner that was not very sumptuous and could even be said to be very simple, Xu Lai discussed business with everyone.

The first thing to mention is the location, movements, and plans of Kerrigan's troops.

“According to current intelligence, we can only confirm that Kerrigan personally brought some demons back for reinforcement.

It’s hard to say exactly how many there are, as our scout knights can’t get too close.”

First, Xu Lai's intelligence officer, Jian Yuan, reported.

Then Lena added: "Currently, Kerrigan has only briefly sent some Winged Demons to harass and investigate.

Since he didn't send out the demons, I didn't ask the angel army to send out either. I only used the griffins to drive them away.

I was too careless about the airspace, and the demons attacked us from behind. This is my fault."

As the designated commander before Xu Lai left, Lena also took on her responsibilities at the first opportunity.

Xu Lai waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about responsibilities later. Now let's think about how to deal with it."

Yu Lan stood up and poured some tea for Xu Lai, then said:
"I think if we want to know how to deal with this, we should first figure out why Kerrigan chose Little Graycastle as the first target."

Why did Kerrigan choose Little Graycastle as his first target?
We knew that Little Graycastle was not far from the main human force and could get support immediately.

It's because Kerrigan wants to blow it up in the human's face.

In addition, he himself knew very well that the land of the Western Empire had already been plowed many times by demons, and there were not many people left.

The bustling castle in the past might have had hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, but now it is estimated to have only 10,000 or 20,000 people at most.

Sending a group of fallen angels who have been corrupted with great difficulty to the enemy's rear, without any other support, will not achieve much results.

If it were Xu Lai, he would not want to throw the fallen angel behind the enemy's rear.

If someone never comes back, we will have no place to cry.

Aren’t those fallen angels, while carrying out the massacre, also keeping an eye on the nearby support?

Before Xu Lai and his team arrived, this group of guys immediately evacuated, obviously not wanting to take any risk at all.

After realizing this, Xu Lai's worries were indeed reduced a lot.

“I think what Kerrigan needs now is a great victory that can completely boost the morale of the demons.

The reason why he chose to attack Little Gray Castle was because he had no confidence in being able to capture Gray Castle, and he did not dare to act rashly before he was absolutely sure.

Also, if I remember correctly, His Holiness the Pope, many Crimson Bishops, and even the Legion of Angels are all in the City of Holy Angels.

Even if Kerrigan broke through the City of Holy Angels, it would be impossible for him to suffer no losses at all, not to mention that he was anxious to come back for rescue.

I think we can ask Bishop Durr whether none of the main forces of the temple escaped."

Xu Lai nodded and said, "I also don't believe that the Holy Angel City, which has been passed down for thousands of years, could be destroyed by Kerrigan just like that."

The temple left a deep impression on Xu Lai at first, with its rows of angels who voluntarily turned into statues just so they could come back to life when needed.

There is also the leader of the First Knights, whose depth even Xu Lai cannot figure out, and the Pope, who is recognized by the whole world as the strongest person on earth.

Add to that a large group of priests and knights who rushed back, so even if they were destroyed, there would be at least some news coming out.

Xu Lai rubbed his palms, thought for a moment and said, “Kerrigan doesn’t want to attack the city. I think on the one hand, he suffered too much loss when attacking Lionheart City and Holy Angel City.

Secondly, Graycastle was originally a military fortress, and now most of the Eagle Kingdom's forces were gathered there, so Kerrigan was still hesitant.

In fact, he is not particularly clear about our strength.

On the contrary, we don’t know enough about him.

I was thinking, why don't we take the initiative to go out of the city and find him to test the waters?

If he avoided fighting even when we took the initiative to leave the city, it means that Kerrigan really has no confidence, or the losses are particularly severe."

"Your Majesty, no. It would be unwise for us to abandon our huge advantage in defending the city and go fight Kerrigan in the field."

Reina is good at defense and is confident in defending the city, but she does not agree with taking the initiative to attack.

However, Tahan, who had been silent the whole time, said, "I think what His Majesty said makes sense. I am willing to lead the way for the King."

He is the commander of the cavalry. Cavalry has no advantage in defending the city, and there is no need for so many people to be stationed in Graycastle.

What Xu said also made sense. Kerrigan's true strength had to be tested. Otherwise, it would be difficult to plan the next move. (End of this chapter)
