The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 724 Thinking of Each Other
"I've been in this world for so long, but this is the first time I've met a boss who gives out soldiers to his men."
The female pastor said this with envy.
Zou Jie curled his lips slightly and said proudly: "There is nothing to envy, and not everything is a good thing.
Leading troops also requires responsibility. I have been told that if I do anything to intentionally commit suicide, I will be held accountable for dereliction of duty.
Of course, if he decides, after evaluation, that sacrifice is necessary, then I am not responsible.
However, there is one good thing. His Excellency Xu Lai said that if necessary, government-sponsored soldiers can be sacrificed first.
After all, in theory, my soldiers are just my guards and have no work tasks, and he has not prepared food and wages for these soldiers. "
"Fuck, they even allowed you to send his soldiers first. If those guild bosses knew about this, they would be furious."
This time it wasn't just the female pastor, the heroes surrounding Zou Jie all had envious looks on their faces.
“Otherwise, why can’t those so-called guild presidents succeed?
It's only been half a day since we last met, but our handsome Zou has already integrated into the environment and even called out to Master Xu Lai."
Zou Jie blushed. As a descendant of this world, he also felt it was strange to use the traditional names of this world.
However, Xu Lai was already the king of a country and had not established any guild, so it was certainly not okay to call him president, and calling him boss would undoubtedly lower the other person's status.
That is, in front of these friends, he still had to save some face and only mentioned "Mr. Xu Lai".
In fact, when Xu Lai summoned him, he, like everyone else, called him "Your Majesty the King".
It must be said that after being called that for so long, Xu Lai has become accustomed to this title.
However, as modern people, Zou Jie and his friends still have a sense of shame.
"Hehe, there's no need to say more about this. If you go and join him, you may not be much better than me." Zou Jie said.
"We would like to join him, but unfortunately, he doesn't care about us, his minions." The female pastor sighed again.
"That's right. You're lucky, Zou Jie. You were chosen right away."
Zou Jie frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction: "At that time, I saw that the situation was not right, so I asked you to go out and take a look.
It is you who are cowardly and unwilling to go out."
The man was about to lose his temper after being rebuked, but when he saw Zou Jie looking at him with an unfriendly look, he finally endured it.
"Brother Zou, don't blame us. In that environment, if we were discovered by the demons, we would be dead.
Moreover, the few troops we had accumulated after fighting for several years in this place were snatched away in an instant.
Now that we don’t know the specific situation, who would dare to step forward?
Only you, Brother Zou, are brave, but didn’t you enjoy the first bite of crab the most? "
Seeing that Zou Jie's expression had eased, the others hurriedly chimed in:
"That's right, Brother Zou, please don't bother with us. We don't have your courage."
After being praised for a few times, Zou Jie felt secretly proud and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
Seeing this, the bystanders thought that it was almost done, so they finally brought up the real business.
"Brother Zou, Mr. Xu has arranged so many things just now. Will he be able to come here when the sun rises?"
"That's right, Brother Zou, we brothers all hang out in Lionheart City, so we are familiar with this area.
According to Mr. Xu, the surrounding cities are still controlled by demons, so he can only lead the flying troops to fly in first.
But he can fly, but we brothers can't."
"That's right, in the current environment, being trapped in Lionheart City, even eating has become a problem.
I am now glad that most of the troops were forcibly conscripted, otherwise it would be a headache just to feed so many mouths.
Our guys' reserves are already very tight, Brother Zou, can you please ask if the Xu guy is still hiring?"
Zou Jie sneered and said, "I don't know whether Master Xu Lai is short of people or not.
You wanted me to help introduce you to someone but you found the wrong person. I told you before that I didn't meet anyone after a whole day.
It was during the evening that Lord Xu Lai summoned me once.
Besides, I've only been working there for one day, so I don't have the honor to help introduce them.
But if you really have no food to eat, I do have a few ways."
"Ahem, Brother Zou, you are not going to let the brothers work under you, are you?
It's not that we brothers are unhappy, but if you leave, there will only be ordinary security guards left, and we can't hang out with those ordinary people."
Zou Jie glanced around and saw that these heroes all looked uninterested. He snorted coldly and said,
“Humph, my temple is small and cannot accommodate so many Bodhisattvas.
I really need someone to help me. If you are willing to stay and help me, I can help you get some treatment.
For those of you who are unwilling to help me, I will tell you a few ways since we are from the same hometown.
Now, Lord Xu Lai needs someone to help him clean up those hidden demons.
You don't have to be afraid. If you can kill those demons, you can come here with their heads to claim your reward.
If you can't kill them, recording the gathering places of the demons will also be a merit, and the angels will clean them up when the time comes.
The more demons that are cleared, the more rewards those who register their information will receive.
If you are diligent, you and your generals won't have to worry about food and drink just by registering the information.
As for the troops in your hands, I have two suggestions. One is to sell them directly to Mr. Xu Lai.
Mr. Xu Lai has promised that he is willing to purchase us at twice your original recruitment price.
As for the other thing, Lord Xu Lai also has several important tasks, and the rewards are very good."
"What errand? What reward?"
Before Zou Jie could finish his words, someone started asking questions.
Zou Jie coughed and said, “Lord Xu Lai is not very confident about the old nobles in Lionheart City, fearing that they might abscond with the money or stir up public opinion.
You also know that Lord Xu Lai does not have any available staff at the moment.
Therefore, he needed some people who had no connection with these old nobles to help him monitor this group of people.
Lord Xu Lai promised that as long as these people did not escape from Lionheart City, his troops would come and take over.
Anyone who prevents these people from escaping can participate in the division of their property, and he guarantees that everyone has a share.
And if these people don’t have much property, he will pay to make up the shortfall.
Secondly, even if these people did not escape, those responsible for monitoring them would eventually receive a huge reward of no less than 10 gold.
Although Lord Xu Lai did not tell me how much I could get, he would make up for it.
But think about it, even the most ordinary surveillance can get a reward of at least 10 gold, do I need to say more about the rest?"
Even in the most prosperous times of Lionheart City, it would take several weeks to complete a large order of 10 gold coins. Moreover, if it was just surveillance, the danger level was not too high.
Although the people that Xu Lai wanted to monitor were all old aristocrats, only at most half of them had specialized abilities.
Although they have guards around them, they may be very capable in fighting alone.
But after experiencing the baptism of the devil, the number of guards around these old nobles has reached the lowest level in history.
Each of them now has the strength to recruit at least 5 or 60 soldiers, so they don't need to be too afraid even if they are discovered.
There was no mercenary guild in the destroyed city, so Xu Lai could only issue tasks through this method of communication.
Although these heroes had never dealt with Xu Lai, they still trusted Xu Lai and Zou Jie.
In their eyes, people like Xu Lai, who carry thousands of griffins and hundreds of angels with him, must be super big shots.
Such a big shot shouldn't have any fun with a few of their minions.
The most important thing is that what Xu Lai asked them to do was also something they were very willing to do.
For a foreigner who has no background and little strength in a place like Lionheart City, it is inevitable that he will be bullied by the locals.
I didn’t have the strength before, so I had to swallow all the insults I suffered.
It’s different now. Everyone is in trouble, but they have Xu Lai’s support, while the old nobles can no longer find any help.
After several heroes accepted their missions and dispersed, the only two people left were the female priest and Zou Jie.
Their respective generals, who also happened to be a man and a woman, quietly guarded behind them.
"Brother Zou, do you have any other tasks here?
You know, I don’t have much ambition and I’m not very courageous.
I just want to live a peaceful and stable life. I really can't adapt to fighting and killing."
“Ahem, yes, there is, but I’ll have to ask you to be my assistant.
Mr. Xu Lai is going to arrange work for those civilians. You can do this tomorrow morning.
You still have people here who can maintain order. If you are too busy, I will let Xiaoyao help you."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Just when Xu Lai gathered all the people in the square and gave a passionate speech.
As expected, many sneaky figures appeared in the City of Holy Angels.
Not only did Kerrigan confiscate the entire palace, he also confiscated all the nobles, wealthy people, chambers of commerce, and warehouses in Lionheart City.
Anything that he liked, needed, and was valuable was either stored in his space ring or moved to the City of Holy Angels.
Among the gold mountain worth hundreds of millions of gold coins that Xu Lai took away, many came from powerful families.
Not only Devin from the McCoy family is eyeing the treasure house, but those monkeys who were killed by Xu Lai as an example are also eyeing the treasure house.
They didn't even have to bother looking for it, because Xu Lai had already found a place for them.
Seeing the building guarded by layers of angels, even a fool would know that it is a treasure house, let alone these old birds.
Even though they knew Xu Lai was in the square, the thieves were still cautious.
Are you kidding? If any angel here is alarmed, the other side can easily wipe them out.
As soon as they stepped into the City of Holy Angels, the thieves used their invisibility skills to completely hide themselves and also used spells to cover up the sound of their footsteps and smells.
But since Xu Lai knew that someone would come to steal the treasure, how could he not make any preparations?
Not only did he place several mine traps at the entrance of the warehouse, he also placed many reconnaissance eyes and true vision eyes in the City of Holy Angels.
Xu Lai had sensed these people long before they appeared in Holy Angel City, but he didn't have time to deal with them at that time.
Although he didn't have time, he could send out his most trusted general.
These thieves who sneaked into the City of Holy Angel are indeed veterans.
They did not act blindly, but released many mice first.
These mice come in different colors and have very different functions.
The red one is called the Mechanical Rat, which is enchanted with the ability to identify traps and simple mechanism breaking and trap breaking skills.
Mechanical rats have the ability to automatically identify traps, and even if they are unable to dismantle traps that are too complicated, they can trigger the traps in advance through the self-destruct devices in their bodies.
The blue one is called the Treasure Rat, and it is enchanted with skills such as burrowing, treasure hunting, and lock picking.
The last one is grey and is called Scout Mouse.
Detective rats are about the same size as ordinary rats and are difficult to be found among a group of rats.
Moreover, they possess the abilities of camouflage, invisibility, and the ability to identify invisibility, and are the eyes of treasure thieves.
The three types of mice went out to search for a while, and the treasure-hunting mouse used the earth-drilling technique to quietly enter the warehouse under the noses of the angels.
The warehouse was filled with treasures, equipment, and resources, which immediately made these treasure thieves dizzy.
But just as the thieves were drooling, the mechanical rat discovered the mines that Xu Lai had placed at the door.
The minefield is so dense that no one, no matter how strong their jumping ability is, can cross it unless they fly over it.
In addition, reconnaissance data also discovered a large number of invisible reconnaissance eyes and true vision eyes.
This scene made the thieves break out in cold sweats.
"We must have been discovered! We just passed under the nose of the Eye of True Vision."
The leading thief snorted coldly and said, "With so many Eyes of True Vision and Eyes of Detection, even a senior mage can't take care of them all.
Not to mention that Xu is not even here. As a knight, no matter how good his equipment is, can he monitor so many reconnaissance eyes from several kilometers away?"
When the others heard this, they all thought it made sense and did not rush to retreat. Instead, they controlled the reconnaissance rats to destroy the Eye of True Vision.
They are all invisible, and the Eye of Reconnaissance cannot see them. Only the Eye of True Vision can pose a threat to them.
However, they did not dare to destroy too much and only destroyed the Eye of True Vision on the path that must be passed.
After all, these eyes have a spiritual connection with their owners.
If Xu Lai hadn't arranged so many things, the thieves would not be able to find a road with blind spots no matter how hard they tried.
In desperation, they could only take the risk of destroying these Eyes of True Vision.
Now they could only hope that because of the distance, Xu Lai would ignore the information that the Eye of True Vision was disconnected.
But just when the thieves destroyed the true vision that enveloped them.
An angel slowly flew over their heads.
Xu Lai did have the True Vision Gem, but he had given it to Archangel Elvy long ago. (End of this chapter)
