The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Chapter 714 The dust has settled

Compared with his own physical injuries, Xu Lai was more concerned about the property left behind by Kerrigan.

As for the remaining demons in the demon army, Elvy and the holy angels will naturally deal with them.

Without Kerrigan, and without the help of ultimate logistics and demonic talents, these demons, even at level 9, are just like lambs.

Not to mention sending out the Holy Angel Legion, even the dozens of Water Qilin chasing after them could easily wipe them out.

Of course, this is in the case of head-on combat.

In fact, as soon as Kerrigan died, these Hellboys scattered like birds and beasts, and no one knew where they were going.

Their flying speed is not fast, but their teleportation ability is amazing, making it impossible to determine the direction of their escape.

If Xu Lai hadn't been the bait to hook Kerrigan, Xu Lai probably wouldn't have been able to catch up with Kerrigan until the magic power of these dozens of water qilins was exhausted.

At that time, he was really at his wit's end and had no other options.

Fortunately, Kerrigan's hatred for him was indeed very high, and he would rather expose himself and kill Xu Lai at the same time.

It's a pity that they failed. Roland and the others activated the Holy Shield in front of Xu Lai, and not much damage from the exploding fire fell on Xu Lai.

Although this injury was still very terrible, it was not enough to take his life.

Although a healing spell cannot restore the health points to the full value, it can remove the negative state of darkness.

Without this state, Roland and the others only need to cast Holy Healing spells on Xu Lai. Two rounds per person, and everything can be done in about ten minutes.

Recovery is easy, but finding loot is not so easy.

Roland and his men searched in the nearby bushes for a long time, but they didn't find a single hair until Yu Lan, Eric and the others arrived.

Xu Lai didn't know whether Kerrigan had hair or not, nor did he care. He just wanted to know what Kerrigan dropped.

The power of Kerrigan's self-explosion was so terrifying that even Elvy, who was completely immune to fire damage, lost hundreds of health points after being affected by the god-level fire magic.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Elvy was too close, so she suffered the greatest damage.

But if Elvy had not acted decisively and taken Kerrigan away, given the distance Xu Lai was at at that time, he might not have survived even if he had reacted.

With such horrific damage, it is normal to say that some equipment would be blown up.

Xu Lai even suspected that Kerrigan chose to self-destruct because he knew that he could not use his ultimate skill and did not want to let Xu Lai take advantage of him and also wanted to take him away with him.

But ordinary equipment is gone, so Xu Lai doesn’t feel sorry about it.

The key is that everything on Kerrigan's body are divine weapons.

Even a common artifact would be worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins at an auction.

The key point is that that is a divine weapon. No matter how powerful Kerrigan's self-explosion is, he shouldn't be left with nothing.

Xu Lai himself also has dark vision, but his search range is limited.

The Holy Light Knights did not dare to go too far away from him. They all held torches and the lighting range was limited.

The sounds of fighting and thunder in the distance still continued to ring in my ears.

The devil is doomed to fail, but he can accept his own failure but cannot accept his own destruction.

These demons, whether they are heroes like Barton and Kagome, or ordinary lava trolls and fire elves.

They are dead and it is useless for their souls to return to the birth pool. The memories and bodies of this life have been lost. Death is real to them.

They are not Krigans and do not have any special privileges. Even if they are Krigans themselves, if their original bodies die, they will die completely.

Therefore, tonight is destined to be a restless night, and the hunt will not stop the entire night.

Those people in Graycastle wanted to call Xu Lai back to help, but it was impossible for Xu Lai to transfer people from Graycastle.

"I just don't believe it. Look for it. You must find it."

The first half of the night had passed, but both Xu Lai and Roland and the others were in good spirits.

Just now, they killed the Lord of Hell. With such a great achievement, they would not be able to sleep even if they were asked to go back to sleep now.

Everyone's spirits were extremely excited, but physical fatigue could not be ignored after all.

Since the battle started yesterday morning, neither Xu Lai nor the guards around him have had a moment's rest.

On the contrary, it was Yu Lan and the others who, because Xu Lai felt too distressed, forced them to rest for an afternoon when the intensity of the disease was not high.

The search operation was also carried out under Yu Lan's command, and several Pegasus Knights were also drafted into the army.

The Griffin Legion was handed over to the Dragon Knight Eric, who was ordered to bring it back and lead the vanguard camp out of the city to fight.

It is more than enough for Graycastle to be handed over to Reina. There are only some crypt demons with low combat effectiveness left in the city.

The crypt demons have accumulated enough magic power, so if they want to escape, they can just burrow into the ground.

Before this, any infantryman of the Qingfeng Legion could easily kill them.

After all, no matter how high the level of the crypt demons is, they have been abandoned by Kerrigan, and there are no heroes in the legion who can give them attributes.

The demons outside the city were blocked by Tahan and his cavalry, and they had no way to escape for a while.

Eric rushed back at this time and caught up with the second half when it was best to kill the demon.

Along with the sound of fierce fighting, the battlefield where Xu Lai was located became brighter and brighter.

Not because the sun was about to rise, but because of the approaching dawn, the whole world fell into complete darkness.

The starlight and moonlight have become increasingly dim, but the return of holy angels one after another illuminates the sky here.

The angel glowing with golden light is powerful and holy.

However, Xu Lai used the artifact given by the elves, so he owed him this favor and had no chance to regret it.

The elves are not having a good time either. In order to repay this favor, Xu Lai estimates that he will still not have a peaceful life.

"My knight, take a good rest."

Elvy slowly landed beside Xu Lai, knelt on the uneven ground, and helped Xu Lai lie on her body.

With his head resting on her plump and smooth thighs, smelling the fresh scent of Elvy's body, he gradually fell asleep in the soft holy light.

Seeing this scene, Yu Lan sighed slightly, but her heart was full of envy.

Just now she also advised Xu Lai to take a rest, but Xu Lai was completely unmoved.

However, at that time, Xu Lai was the most excited, so it would be unlikely for Elvy to come.

Moreover, in this battle, Elvy's role was too important, even more indispensable than Xu Lai.

If Xu Lai was not there, as long as the War Horn and the Favor of the World were there, even if Lena led the team, they could still defeat Kerrigan.

But without Elvy, Kerrigan is invincible and no one can resist him.

He can eliminate the most threatening enemies to the demons one by one without any scruples.

If he discovers the human heroes, the human side will most likely be defeated.

Although she and Giselle also killed a large number of demons on the battlefield, her curse spells were particularly hated by the demons, and they lost a lot of their fighting power.

However, in the final analysis, they are not the ones who can decide the outcome of the battle.

Besides, neither she nor Giselle has high survivability.

Not only are they unable to stand up, even if they manage to do so, they might become Xu Lai's weak spot.

Yu Lan sighed. Although she was disappointed, she was not discouraged.

Since I cannot be Xu Lai's support in combat, it is even more important for me to do other things for him.

In addition to being one of Xu Lai's wives, she also serves as Xu Lai's secretary-general, and should help him take care of all the trivial matters.

"Roland, I will ask the holy angels to stand in fixed positions and try to illuminate the entire area.

You and Silver Wing and the others, each holding a torch, search forward along a straight line according to the position of the holy angel in the sky."

In order to prevent any omissions, Yu Lan did not plan to run around like a headless fly like Xu Lai did before.

I don’t know how long I slept, but when Xu Lai opened his eyes, he met a pair of bright eyes.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It won't take long, maybe four or five hours."

Xu Lai touched his head. After the sunlight came out, the golden light on the holy angels was greatly restrained.

But under the sunlight, there is still a layer of hazy holy light circling around their bodies.

I closed my eyes and adjusted to the not-so-strong sunlight in the morning.

There was no more shouting and screaming. Apparently, after four or five hours, the battle in Graycastle was almost over.

"Have you recovered from your injury?"

Elvy smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, it's healed. Once Kerrigan died, his god-level fire magic disappeared, and the flames were unable to cause lasting damage."

Xu Lai nodded, feeling relieved, and then asked again: "What about the demon army?"

“Those who could detect the demon’s aura have all been killed. In the second half of the night, the water qilins have also returned one after another.

But you fell asleep and we couldn't control those water unicorns.

After they sensed the evil aura from Graycastle, they rushed over there. I don't know where they are now."

Xu Lai nodded and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work."

Elvy shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. Sister Yu Lan led people to search all night, so she was tired."

Before, apart from recognizing Suya as her elder sister, Elvy could only treat the rest with courtesy, but in fact, she treated them all as her younger sisters.

But before that, Yu Lan gave the only order to command a general to Elvy, which could be said to have determined the outcome of the battle at that time.

Later, Xu Lai founded the Eagle Kingdom and married all of them.

However, although they are all the king's wives, they still have to be ranked according to their status outside.

Xu Lai himself did not assign any ranking to them, and they were all created using props, so they have no real ages.

Originally, it would be best to let Su Ya do this matter. After all, this position is equivalent to the queen in ancient times.

But Su Ya was too busy helping Xu Lai deal with government affairs to have the time to take care of the harem.

There was no further development on this matter, and they no longer addressed each other as they pleased.

Out of gratitude for the previous kindness, Elvy, who has always been independent, also recognized an extra sister.

At this time, Yu Lan also saw Xu Lai waking up and hurried over to report the situation.

"My dear, I have spoken to Commander Reina.

She told us that the enemies inside and outside Graycastle had been eliminated, and the Qingfeng Legion was cleaning up the battlefield inside the city.

General Tahan, General Yan Feng, and Sir Eric each led their troops to chase the fleeing demons.

In addition, a large number of demons knelt down and surrendered, and General Jian personally led people to imprison some important demons.

As for the rest, the dungeon is too full to hold them, so they are being held outside the city, waiting for you to deal with them when you return."

After listening to the report, Xu Lai also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:
"Everything is finally over. Now it's time to retake the city that was occupied by the demons from Hell."

Xu Lai recovered more than half of the Western Empire, but less than two-thirds.

The remaining one-third or more of the cities are not close to the grassland, but border the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire.

Yu Lan nodded and said, "Of course, and it has to be quick.

Otherwise, once the news of Kerrigan's death spreads, the remaining cities in the Western Empire will inevitably cause scramble among the Southern Empire, the Eastern Empire, and even the Northern Empire.

However, the top priority at the moment is still to take back Lionheart City first.

Cregan was forced to come back for rescue right after he captured Lionheart City, so he probably didn't have time to transform it into hell.

As the old capital, Lionheart City has a large population and a prosperous economy.

The most crucial thing is that without Kerrigan around, the other major empires are likely to take advantage of the opportunity to take action.

Although we conquered most of the Western Empire, we suffered heavy population losses.

Just to restore the topography, even if Bishop Durr and his colleagues work hard, it will take at least three to five years.

During this period, all food production cannot be restored, and we urgently need this super city."

Xu Lai slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, Yu Lan, thanks to you, otherwise I would still be wasting time here.

Give orders for me immediately, and order Tahan, Yan Feng, Eric and others to return immediately.

I will take them straight to Lionheart City and seize this super city first.

As for Graycastle and Briston, let Reina handle them first.

Order her to recapture Briston as soon as possible, as well as other Hell cities to the north and south.

Oh, by the way, did you find anything good last night?"

Kerrigan is the lord of hell, and Xu Lai is obsessed with his equipment, especially his space ring.

Yu Lan nodded and said, "I did find some, but my dear, don't be disappointed."

When Xu Lai heard this, he was already disappointed. Yu Lan had already given him a heads-up in advance, so how could he not be disappointed?

Sure enough, as Yu Lan handed each piece of equipment to Xu Lai, Xu Lai's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

"Damaged Demon Armor", "Damaged Demon Boots", "Broken Demon Scythe", "Demon Helmet Fragments", "Unknown Ring Remains"

A large pile of things fell into Xu Lai's hands, but not a single one was intact. (End of this chapter)
