The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Xu Lai imitated the way wars were fought in ancient times and ordered all cities near Graycastle to build beacon towers.

Once the lookouts discover any traces of demons around, they will immediately sound the alarm and light a bonfire.

You know what, this approach is somewhat useful.

The lookouts on the watchtowers have very long-range observation distances. Both the great demons and the fallen angels are large creatures that appear in groups and can be easily discovered.

Of course, whether it is a demon or a fallen angel, their speed is extremely fast.

Even without hero bonuses and logistics skills, it would only take a few minutes to fly a distance of several kilometers.

If the residents in the city have not received training in rapid evacuation, it will be difficult for them to evacuate quickly in such a short time.

However, even if you cannot escape to a shelter such as a basement, find a nearby building, even if it is just hiding in your own home.

With the strength of the demons, destroying a house is not a difficult task.

The defense and durability of buildings are much stronger than those of ordinary people, which will greatly reduce the killing efficiency of demons.

At the same time, Elvy, who sees the smoke, will lead the team to provide support in time.

Generally speaking, the demons only have about ten minutes to wreak havoc and will not cause too many casualties.

Although the casualties may not be heavy, it will cause panic among the people and make Elvy and others run around in a hurry.

Moreover, the casualties were not great at one time. The human demon had three teams, and it was not said that they could only go out once a day.

Cumulatively, the daily casualties cannot be underestimated.

Especially the land on the Western Empire side, which was already seriously short of population.

Only by engaging in more normal agricultural production activities can we accelerate the recovery of normal land.

The population, which was already severely insufficient, was made even more so by the continuous attacks, causing every household to stay indoors and no one dared to go out to work.

They didn't dare go out. Not only would they not be able to supply rations to the front line, they themselves would starve to death.

Xu Lai's warehouse ring can only supply food to Graycastle. He can't go to various cities to deliver food every day.

Even if he is willing to work hard, others have to be brave enough to come forward and claim it.

Even though Xu Lai brought an invincible guard with him, he did not dare to say that there was no danger at all.

After all, if the demons knew Xu Lai's identity, and they could fly and teleport, and specifically targeted Xu Lai to kill him, they might have a chance.

The most important thing is that even though Xu Lai is equipped with a full-time priest who specializes in casting recovery spells for the angels to speed up their physical recovery.

But a team of angels could not keep up with the consumption of three teams of demons.

All we can say is that Xu Lai cannot fly. If he also had a pair of wings, he would be able to follow Elvy and the others.

If Xu Lai follows them, none of the demons and fallen angels will be able to escape. Speed ​​and prayer are not something that can be easily achieved.

As it stands now, even if the angels could rely on their morale and naturally greater speed to barely catch up, it would definitely not be possible in a short period of time.

During this period of pursuit, the other two teams of demons will definitely take the opportunity to raid human villages and towns.

Even if they didn't take the opportunity to attack, they could quietly gather together and surround the angels on three sides, and Elvy and the others would be in danger.

Although the demons would not harass towns that were too far away, it was not certain, after all, they had already harassed all the surrounding towns several times.

Xu Lai must find a way to solve this problem.

Otherwise, if it is allowed to continue, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the troops and the newly established Eagle Kingdom.

The most ideal way, of course, is to set up some ambushes, and it would be best if we could kill these demons in one go.

But this is extremely difficult, as they can fly and teleport at a fairly high speed.

Unless you use magic to control these demons.

It's not enough to just control it. Even if Xu Lai's spirit value is extremely high, he can't control it for too long with advanced spells like bewitching.

In such a short time, unless Xu Lai has ambushed a large number of troops and can output a large number of outputs in a short period of time, he will not be able to kill a few demons.

As for those who are blind, they can only control the recruitment of demons. Even if other demons are blind, they will not be stupid enough to stand still.

Even the recruited demons cannot be completely controlled, as they will awaken once attacked.

Therefore, unless you can kill these demons in seconds, there is no point in being blind.

The most outrageous thing is that even if Xu Lai was willing to use scrolls to control the big demon in turns, the big demon was completely immune to fire spells.

The control spells that Xu Lai has mastered so far seem to all be fire-related, except for the forbidden spell he just learned.

The demon Norman Davis was originally just a big demon captain, responsible for managing 50 big demons.

Because the team he led were all recruited big demons.

Davis also has relatively high requirements. The demons under his command must have, in addition to basic skills, at least three combat skills, not counting those that come with the equipment.

The so-called basic skills are similar to activating shield strike when the shield is used to a certain level, and activating charge when the running level reaches a certain level.

Although these skills are also combat skills, they are all inherent in the basic skills, so they are also classified as basic skills.

In addition to basic skills, there are also many inherited and self-created skills, such as the warrior's roar, the archer's ice arrow and so on.

Because of this, Davis and his team are one of the few elite teams in the demon army.

The Davis team is not only highly valued by Trent, but also has a high ranking with Kerrigan and is highly regarded.

Tren and the one thousand great demons he led were basically killed in Briston.

Kerrigan didn't want to blame anyone now. He just promoted two generals in the demon army as the Lord of Hell.

Norman Davis is a demon general who has just been promoted.

The other is Hellboy, who relied on his own strength to cultivate to the 9th level.

Although the team led by that general was not strong, his individual combat power was the strongest in the entire demon army except for Tren.

Therefore, this demon general was left with Kerrigan awaiting orders, while Davis was sent out to do this hard and tiring work.

Generals and heroes do not rely on their own strength, but on the bonus they give to their subordinates, so that the entire team can exert the strongest combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Davis is very upset about being ranked second.

Over the past few days, he did not dare to slack off for a moment, and commanded three teams of demons to carry out harassment in batches.

However, humans have become smarter now and have begun to learn how to make smoke signals, and have even sent dragon knights to follow them.

No matter how powerful a single dragon knight is, he can never be a match for their more than 500 great demons.

However, the dragon knight was not slow, and his level was 9th, so his personal combat power was not weak either. Unless he could sneak attack and find a way to cut off or injure the dragon knight's wings.

Otherwise, even if the dragon knight has no influence on the demon team, he can always lock the position of this team of demons.

Once the position is exposed, it will not be so easy to launch a sneak attack on human towns.

With only one team of great demons and one team of fallen angels left, it would be difficult to mobilize the angels and achieve any results.

But after two tiring days, Davis found an excellent opportunity.

Perhaps because they were attacked too frequently, those human cities had run out of food, so a food delivery team was sent from the rear.

Of course, in order to avoid being attacked by demons and fallen angels, this grain transport team was fully armed.

With 5000 horse archers guarding on the side, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

When the New Empire troops came to challenge that day, Davis accompanied Kerrigan and watched the entire process from the sky.

These horse archers can shoot far, run fast, their arrows are powerful and can penetrate armor, so they are indeed very strong.

But if humans think that this is foolproof, it would be too presumptuous.

You know, the most annoying thing about these horse archers is their speed that is as fast as the wind.

They were running and fighting at the same time, and they could only take advantage, but they were unwilling to suffer any loss, which was really uncomfortable.

However, when they become someone else's guard, the speed that they are most proud of will become useless.

However, their output capabilities are still quite strong. Before, even at such a long distance and within the maximum range, they almost shot to death many level 7 lava trolls.

After all, they use heavy arrows that can penetrate armor, plus the output of skills, and the blessing of artifacts such as the Angel Alliance, so the power is actually not bad.

However, Kerrigan acted decisively and sent out the Fallen Angels for support.

The most criticized thing about the Hell Camp is its poor endurance.

The tactics of the evil god and the long horns can only bring about a large number of pigs with little output ability, and cannot improve the offensive ability of the hell camp.
Now with the powerful healing capabilities of these hundreds of level 9 fallen angels, their demon army is no longer afraid of fighting head-on.

500 great demons, plus nearly 500 fallen angels, a total of 1000 top demons, Davis believed that they could easily defeat this human transport team.

You know, this transport team, in addition to the escort of 5000 top-level archers, also has more than 3000 mid-level infantry and nearly civilian laborers.

These ten thousand laborers alone were enough to harvest all the harvest they had gained during these busy days.

With the current population of the Western Empire, it is probably impossible to organize a second militia of ten thousand people without migration from the grassland.

Not to mention these civilians, who also transported large amounts of food, ammunition and other supplies.

If this team is hijacked, it will be a huge blow to humanity.

The most crucial thing is that if the robbery is successful this time, humans will not dare to transport supplies again.

Even if it is necessary, it will cost a greater price to protect it.

Moreover, it takes time to gather supplies. As long as they continue to harass during this period, a large number of humans near Graycastle will starve to death.

Davis naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity that could kill two birds with one stone.

In order to prevent any accidents, he specially dispatched a group of demons to attack a human town under the watchful eyes of the dragon knight.

Sure enough, before this group of demons arrived, the army of angels led by Elvy had already been waiting there.

The demon captain who led the team turned around and ran away without saying a word.

He didn't dare to use his full strength. Although he had a movement speed of 16 points, he only dared to run 15 points, giving Elvy and the others hope that they could catch up quickly.

Past experience taught them that once the angels thought the chase was taking too long, they would stop and rest to save energy.

Therefore, this demon captain, carrying a spell scroll that accelerates his attack, has been carefully suppressing his speed.

It was not until Davis confirmed that the group of angels had been led far enough away that the real main force of the demons was dispatched.

In this case, even if the archers sent out a signal for help, the angels would not be able to get back in a short time.

Of course, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

Just as Davis had expected, the angels and the dragon knights were lured away from their homes and would definitely not be able to be rescued in a short period of time.

But when Xu Lai learned about the abnormal behavior of the demon army, he was 100% sure that the demons must have taken the bait.

Davis didn't know that if Xu Lai really wanted to transport grain, he would definitely not transport it from the rear all the way.

He directly moved a certain amount of food from the warehouse ring, organized a food transport team in Gray Valley, and delivered it to nearby cities. That was much faster and more convenient.

So, when Elvy was about to catch up but was thrown off by the demon team that used attack acceleration, Xu Lai knew that the demons were probably about to take action.

However, the team of demons that escaped probably didn't expect that Elvy also always carried a speed-up scroll with her.

They were unable to cast strategic spells, and even if they tore open the scroll, it would only have a normal acceleration effect.

But as long as the acceleration effects of both sides are the same, even if there is a slight difference, it will not have any impact at all.

The speed of Seraphim and Archangel is several times faster than that of Demon.

The demon captain was visibly panicked and immediately flapped his wings with all his might.

When the time comes for teleportation, they will be collectively teleported over a very long distance.

But they were still being approached by Elvy and the others, and the anxious big demon was the first to send out a distress signal.

This signal for help startled both parties who were about to meet.

Davis instinctively thought that humans had set an ambush, but Xu Lai was worried that Davis would be affected, so he didn't dare to come.

Fortunately, Elvy also knew her limits. As soon as the distress signal came on, she decisively took the angels away.

The demon captain was so frightened that he almost fainted. He quickly sent a message to Kerrigan and Davis, informing them not to come for rescue.

Kerrigan in the camp frowned instinctively and ordered the demon captain to come back and report immediately.

Davis, who also received the order, was secretly resentful. He never expected that his men would be so scared that they would directly send a distress signal.

If we go back to report our own troops, we won’t even dare to fight against the angels.

If he sent out a distress signal as soon as he was being chased, then he, the newly appointed demon general, would probably be removed immediately.

Thinking that the angels had already left and might be on their way, Davis did not dare to delay and quickly ordered his men to speed up.

But just as they were rushing towards the transport team, they sensed a strong sacred atmosphere after seeing the huge transport team.

Before he could escape, Davis was horrified to find that the demon he had just assigned to guard him began to emit a sacred aura. (End of this chapter)
