The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 719 I am your king
The first thing to do after driving away the devil is to immediately carry out a final rescue of Lionheart City.
After obtaining the Heart of the Castle of Lionheart, Kerrigan did not choose to destroy it, so the Heart of the Castle must still be buried in this city.
The specific location may be difficult to find, but the general range can be estimated.
The heart of the castle also has a control range. The control range of a general castle heart is only slightly larger than that of most castles.
For example, the Emerald City of the Northern Empire and the Qingfeng City of Xu Lai, a large part of the city walls were rebuilt by themselves.
But after becoming the capital of a country and owning buildings such as the royal palace and the imperial palace, the control range of the Castle Heart can be greatly enhanced.
The outer buildings of Lionheart Castle are still basically the same as before, so the heart of the castle must still be hidden in the palace.
Of course, the Supreme King’s palace is not small either. Compared with it, Xu Lai’s small palace is like the difference between a small country courtyard and a prosperous urban village.
But the former prosperity is now covered in blood.
Kerrigan wanted to transform Lionheart into the capital of the Hell Faction, so this palace of the High King was also his private palace.
Dandanmu was ordered to defend Lionheart City, but he didn't have the courage to hide in the palace and enjoy himself while Cregan was away.
Therefore, unexpectedly, Xu Lai found many survivors in the palace.
As a palace, there is no place in the imperial palace where people cannot be hidden, including pavilions, towers, rockery and fortresses.
Unfortunately, after occupying the palace, Kerrigan had no time to conduct a thorough search.
Dandanmu didn't dare to enter the palace easily, and he could easily find food in the palace.
However, these survivors did not show much excitement after seeing Xu Lai, Elvy and others, which was completely different from the survivors outside the city.
It’s easy to imagine what kind of person this person is who can hide in the palace.
All the soldiers in the palace, even the male slaves, were killed on the day the palace was stormed, and only a few deserters survived.
Apart from these, the only ones who could stay in the palace were the ministers of parliament and members of parliament appointed by the High King Aled 36, as well as members of the High King's family and their servants.
Even when the empire collapsed, servants did not dare to express themselves in front of their masters.
But their masters have different attitudes.
Perhaps because they saw that Xu Lai had no soldiers with him and was only followed by a group of unfamiliar angels, they mistook Xu Lai for a hero trained by the temple.
These guys, who came out of nowhere, seemed to be bossing Xu Lai around.
"May I ask which temple this hero belongs to? I don't think I have seen him before."
The first person to stand up and talk to Xu Lai was a fat man in his middle age.
Although the clothes on this fat man are dirty, judging from the base color, they should be made of very luxurious material.
But this gorgeous dress looks a little awkward on the fat man who is now smelly.
Xu Lai didn't want to pay attention to the fat man. This guy looked like a high-ranking bureaucrat of the empire. Xu Lai didn't have a good impression of such people.
"Among you, is there anyone who can repair the teleportation array?
If there is, could you please come out and let me meet you?"
After occupying Lionheart City, the first thing Kerrigan did was to destroy the teleportation array.
Although the teleportation array could not be used during the siege of the army, the occupation of Lionheart City meant the end of the battle.
As long as the connection between any city and Lionheart City is not disconnected, one can appear in Lionheart City at any time through the teleportation array.
However, the teleportation array of Lionheart City is a super teleportation array. It is easy to destroy, but it is not so easy to destroy it completely.
Only after the teleportation array is repaired can Xu Lai dispatch officials from Qingfeng City here.
Otherwise, there might be millions of people in this city.
Whether it is resources or management, it is a huge trouble.
Right now, only Yu Lan and Elvy can help Xu Lai, and the remaining angels and griffins can only help fight.
Seeing that Xu Lai didn't answer his question, the fat man's face looked a little ugly.
Xu Lai had been to Lionheart City several times, but each time he came and went in a hurry, and only the teleporter and the guards of Cloud City had seen him.
These people in Congress had invited him several times, but he avoided them, so no one could recognize him.
However, although no one knew Xu Lai, Xu Lai had such a strong and terrifying reputation that ordinary people would bow down to him when they saw him.
Even the high-ranking officials of the empire found it a little too much to handle, not to mention that Xu Lai was a hero who broke into the palace.
The fat man didn't want to, nor did he dare to offend Xu Lai, so he frowned and looked around.
At Xu Lai's questioning, several people dressed in noble attire wanted to step forward, but when they met the fat man's gaze, they shrank back.
Xu Lai frowned and finally looked at the fat man in front of him.
"What's your name and what do you do?"
Having been in a high position of power for most of my life, this was the first time I was ordered around like this.
The fat man cleared his throat and was about to speak, but Xu Lai waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I don't care who you are, Alvy, drag him down and chop him up!"
As soon as this order was given, all the mercenary leaders who followed Xu Lai into the palace turned out to be heroes.
All the dignitaries who came out of the palace were dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
But no matter how surprised they were, Elvy would never hesitate to follow Xu Lai's orders, unless it involved Xu Lai's safety.
Elvy's stature is not considered tall among angels, even after she was promoted to a holy angel.
But she is not tall. Compared with angels and humans, Xu Lai is more than a head shorter.
If he wants to challenge some difficult poses, Xu Lai needs to tiptoe every time.
The whole body was radiating golden light. Not to mention that the fat man was just an ordinary person, even if he was a hero, he couldn't see the angel's face at all.
In the eyes of everyone, except for the Seraphs and Royal Griffins, those behind Xu Lai were all unfamiliar types of soldiers.
Besides several high-ranking officials from the old empire, the fat man was also surrounded by some skilled guards.
After all, it is a time of chaos. No matter how powerful Fatty and others were before, when they are in such a situation, they will definitely be reluctant to send their guards to fight.
It just so happened that these guards didn't want to die, so they hid together under the names of these big shots.
These guards would not dare to fight demons, but they have always looked down upon ordinary imperial soldiers.
Elvy tried to grab the fat man with one hand, but the two guards beside him drew their swords on the spot.
As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body. The demons have only fled, but not all of them have escaped from Lionheart City.
These people ran out, but they were still alert in their hearts.
As soon as someone drew his sword, the rest of the guards and servants also drew their weapons.
Of course, they might not dare to attack Xu Lai, but showing weapons in front of Xu Lai would already touch Elvy's sore spot.
At that moment, she even forgot Xu Lai's previous order. The Sword of Judgment flashed with golden light, and the heads of the two guards who had just drawn their weapons fell to the ground. As mentioned before, Elvy always listened to Xu Lai, but as long as Xu Lai's safety was involved, the priority would automatically increase.
This is different from other generals.
With the blessing of divine speed and the statue of the god of war, how fast can a tenth-level holy archangel with a set of divine weapons draw his sword?
No one present, even Xu Lai himself, could see clearly what Elvy was doing before two heads fell to the ground.
"Those holding swords will be killed!"
After killing these two guards, the rest of the people were some distance away from Xu Lai, at least not enough to surprise Xu Lai in front of Elvy.
Elvy also understood Xu Lai's thoughts. He might look down on this group of people, but he definitely didn't want to kill innocent people.
So, Elvy gave them a small chance.
The people in the palace only saw the battle between the Seraphim in the sky.
Only those who followed Xu Lai into the palace realized how terrifying these golden angels were.
Those nightmare beasts that feed on human and animal heads were once monsters that overpowered the Seraphim, but they couldn't even beat an ordinary golden angel in a one-on-one fight.
Even though they knew that these angels were not targeting them, they hurriedly put away their weapons.
Some even threw their weapons directly to the ground, fearing that if they were a little slower, they would be beheaded by the angels with a sword.
With someone taking the lead, more and more people, especially the servants, threw away their weapons.
They didn't have much fighting power to begin with, and the swords in their hands were picked up from dead warriors, just to give them courage.
This delay gave the fat man a chance to catch his breath.
He quickly shouted, "Hero, let's talk nicely. I am the Prime Minister of the Lion Empire, not your enemy."
It's no wonder, when Elvy heard that it was the Prime Minister, she was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Xu Lai.
Xu Lai said coldly: "You are the Prime Minister of the Lion Empire, not my Prime Minister.
The Lion Empire has been devastated under the rule of people like you. You are sinners who deserve to go to hell.
If you were not the Prime Minister, I might have spared your life, but if you were the Prime Minister, I would have had no choice but to hang you on the city wall as a warning to the public. "
After that, Xu Lai said to Elvy:
"Don't kill him. Strip him naked and hang him on the city wall. Let him see the tragic scene outside the city with his own eyes and ask him how he has the nerve to live until now."
Just as Alvy was about to take action, Xu Lai said:
"Wait a minute, let him die knowingly."
After that, Xu Lai slammed the Prophet's Sword, including the scabbard, heavily on the floor tiles and said loudly:
"Everyone, please allow me to introduce myself first.
My surname is Xu. I am the king of the Eagle Kingdom and will also be your king.
I led my troops and almost wiped out the Burning Legion led by Kerrigan near Briston and Graycastle.
Kerrigan, the leader of the Hell camp that invaded the Empire, was also killed by my archangel.
Now I want to tell you that from this moment on, the devil will no longer be a threat to us.
All of you, whether you want to be citizens of my Eagle Kingdom or not, are safe and free.
You can continue to live in this city, and I will provide you with protection.
Of course, if you don't want to become a citizen of the Eagle Kingdom, you can choose to leave.
To the south, north, and east of here, there are still human kingdoms.”
After listening to Xu Lai's self-introduction, many people were stunned for a moment, and some people subconsciously knelt on the ground.
Most people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They obviously could not imagine that they almost conquered the Western and Northern empires.
The Burning Legion that broke through the human capital, burned the holy city, and forced the Pope to death will be destroyed by the young man in front of him.
They couldn't believe that the Lord of Hell, who was ranked number one on the temple's wanted list and the first knight of Lionheart City, couldn't even survive a single round at his hands.
It wouldn't be that simple to be destroyed by an angel who was not much bigger than an ordinary person.
Of course, they didn't know how much risk Xu Lai took in order to destroy the Burning Legion and kill Kerrigan. Even the Golden Body Potion almost couldn't save him.
"Your Majesty, I want to leave!"
Everyone was still immersed in Xu Lai's introduction, except for one person who remained clear-headed.
There was no way he couldn't stay awake. This was a matter of life and death for the fat Prime Minister, and he was not interested in anything else at this moment.
Xu Lai smiled at the fat man and said:
"I forgot to mention just now that in my territory, the only people who are eligible for my protection and the right to travel freely are normal people without any criminal records."
After a pause, Xu Lai suddenly raised his voice and said:
“Criminals, especially serious criminals like the Prime Minister, are not entitled to any rights.
Which friend is willing to do me a favor and help realize the treatment I just gave to the Prime Minister? "
Upon hearing this, the fat man fell to the ground with a thud. If there weren't people behind him, he would have fainted.
After a brief silence, someone behind Xu Lai suddenly shouted loudly:
"I come!"
Xu Lai glanced over and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary.
The man had an untidy beard and was covered in blood. His equipment was also a little worn out, and even his most important armor had a big hole in it.
However, the whole body is surrounded by fluorescent light, and it is obvious that this set of equipment does not look very good, but it is at least a basic set of magic equipment.
"I know you. You were the first one to rush out, and you were followed by a group of mercenaries!"
Xu Lai was deeply impressed by this middle-aged man. He and the dozens of mercenaries he led were the first to crawl out of the sewers to fight.
After being recognized by Xu Lai, the middle-aged man's face flushed red, and he gave Xu Lai an inappropriate aristocratic greeting and said:
"Your Majesty, please let me take care of punishing the treacherous minister."
Xu Lai nodded and said immediately:
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.
In addition, I will appoint you as my sheriff, and you can choose the sheriff you want.
From this moment on, you and your security guards will be responsible for the security of Lionheart City.
Free the civilians and warriors imprisoned in the dungeons, kill the hiding demons, clean up the corpses in the city, and burn them together.
I don't want to just clear out the demons and then invite the undead.
Oh, and the priest may not be in place so quickly.
Before the priests arrive, you still need to do a good job of epidemic prevention. Many people have died in Lionheart City. Don't let the plague destroy the last spark of fire in this city." (End of this chapter)
