The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 725 The Old Nobles’ Counterattack
Both the Eye of Reconnaissance and the Eye of True Vision are stealth units, and they make no noise and generally cannot be discovered at all.
Since they will not be discovered, naturally, it is not easy for something to happen. Therefore, the health value of this kind of reconnaissance unit is usually very low.
After all, it is a reconnaissance unit. I don't know how much extra mana will be wasted to make a thing with high defense and high life, and how much materials will be needed when making it.
Once the detective mice discover these eyes, they can swallow them up in about half a minute to a minute.
The thieves are people with extremely sharp perceptions, and both the Eye of Reconnaissance and the Eye of True Vision have disappeared.
But the feeling of being watched lingering on the thieves still did not go away.
Finally, one of the thieves inadvertently glanced upwards.
However, it would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it. Once he did, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.
When others saw this scene, they all looked up to the sky at the same time.
After being downgraded to Seraph, the golden light disappeared.
But unlike the holy angels who can bring warmth to people, the seraphim are dedicated to killing and the sense of oppression is even greater.
The leading thief, after seeing the Seraph in the sky, rolled over like a lazy donkey without thinking.
After rolling on the ground for a few times, he was already galloping and running, and even flashed, appearing dozens of meters away in an instant.
This series of actions also made his invisibility effect disappear.
Just when the thief leader thought he had escaped to a safe area and was about to use the disappearance spell to hide again.
Elvy in the sky simply swung her hand and threw the Blazing Sword of Judgment in her hand.
The two-handed sword went straight through his chest, and the blade dug deeply into the floor tiles, pinning the thief leader to the ground.
The thief leader had a lot of health and was seriously injured by a sword but he is not dead yet.
However, he was seriously injured and bleeding, so even if he managed to drink a bottle of life potion, he was just struggling to death.
Any slight movement he made now would cause friction between his body and the sword blade, causing more damage.
The fate of the thief leader frightened the other thieves so much that none of them dared to move.
Several experienced thieves quickly gestured to their companions, asking them not to act rashly.
Sure enough, after the bandit leader bled to death, Elvy gently pulled back her weapon.
But she did not rush to attack the other thieves. Instead, she put away her sword and stood, looking back and forth among the group of thieves.
Immediately, a "smart" thief whispered to his companions:
“From the looks of it, it seems that the destruction of the Eye of True Vision alarmed this female angel.
But we are still invisible, don't move, she shouldn't be able to find us."
Another thief responded:
"But the Eye of True Vision has already discovered our location. If we don't leave here, will we be guarded until the invisibility disappears?"
"That's right. Hermes is just too timid. The angel just flew over to check the situation, but he was so scared that he used his skills recklessly and ran around. If he doesn't die, who will die?"
After expressing his opinion, the thief who was speaking stepped back cautiously.
No matter what, we must not stay in this place that was last locked by the Eye of True Vision.
Otherwise, even if the angel couldn't see them, he could probably kill several thieves by just waving his sword around here.
How could he stay in such a dangerous place?
What's more, as a thief, he was used to being cautious.
The Silence spell is directly enchanted on the equipment, so no sound will be made at any time when he moves.
When everyone saw that he took the first step without any problem, they were about to follow suit, but Elvy's sword flew towards him again without any error.
Ordinary Seraphim cannot use this move, of course, no matter how high their one-handed or throwing skills are.
Because they cannot change weapons, if they throw away their weapons, they will have to fight with bare hands, and the logic of combat does not allow them to do so.
Elvy is different. She has a space ring in her hand, which contains several spare weapons.
At the same time, she can fight even without weapons, and it does not prevent her from killing these thieves.
The reason why she pretended not to see the thieves was simply because there were too many of them and she couldn't keep up with them all by herself, nor could she catch up with them.
This group of thieves is now under her nose, so at least she can keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing any damage.
Once she rushed over, the thieves would scatter. No matter how fast she was, she could only kill 7 or 8 of them at most, and most of the thieves would disappear.
The Eye of True Vision and the Eye of Reconnaissance have been completely destroyed by the scout rats.
Once these thieves escape, the angels guarding the warehouse and patrolling at fixed points will not be able to detect the invisible thieves at all.
After all, she is the only one who has the gem of true sight, so it is impossible for her to take care of everything.
The death of another thief frightened the group of people nearby so much that they dared not even breathe.
They didn't know whether Elvy's ears were too sensitive or if some other aspect gave her away.
Anyway, they didn't even dare to use secret words, make gestures easily, or even move their bodies.
After a long while, one of the thieves said:
"She shouldn't have been able to hear our secret conversation, otherwise she would have killed us all before."
One of the thieves was unconvinced and asked, "How do you know she can't hear? Not only can she hear us, she can also see us!
Maybe she is just playing cat and mouse with us."
The thief frowned and said unhappily, "Haha, I have a way to prove it."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to respond, he raised his hand and threw a dart out.
The unconvinced thief shook his body almost instinctively.
Everyone knows that the damage of a thief's hidden weapon may not be high, but it will definitely be poisonous, and the toxins come in all kinds of strange forms.
Sure enough, as soon as the thief moved, Elvy's flaming sword immediately followed.
The thief who dodged the dart could not dodge Elvina's sword, which had a terrifying speed.
With a clang, the thief was killed and the dart was nailed to the pillar.
“I said, this angel can only hear moving targets.
As long as we don't move, she won't be able to find us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the other thieves did not respond, but avoided his gaze.
The thief snorted coldly and wanted to look down on his companion again. As a thief, is there any morality?
However, before he could finish his words, he saw Elvy had picked up the dart that had fallen to the ground.
Following the direction of the dart, Elvy's eyes were fixed on him.
In an instant, the hairs on the thief's body were about to explode. At this moment, he felt that what the thief he had killed before said was absolutely right. The angel in front of him could definitely see them.
They are really just clowns performing in front of others and mice being made fun of.
But before he could warn, the flaming sword pierced through his body with great force.
Unfortunately, like the previous two thieves, his equipment was far inferior to that of the thief leader who died first.
He couldn't even survive a single blow, and didn't even have time to take a life potion and stay alive for a while.
At this moment, the thieves were so frightened that they were silent. Not only did they not speak or move, they even retracted their eyes and dared not look at this terrifying angel.
These thieves are of high rank, and their equipment is better than the elite ones in many large mercenary groups, except that it is not as good as the dead thief leader.
After all, they all have financial backers, and thieves don't lack money in their profession.
But Elvy killed people one by one with her sword.
The speed of movement is such that a distance of hundreds of meters can be covered in the blink of an eye.
The speed of his actions was so fast that even these agile professionals couldn't see clearly, which really frightened them.
Elvy weighed the sword in her hand, hesitated, and decided not to proceed.
She glanced at the thieves, trying to use her powerful pressure to make them reveal their true colors.
Just like a policeman with only a gun and a few bullets can still threaten a large group of thugs.
It’s because of these thugs that no one wants to get hit by those bullets.
It’s also because they know that even if they rush in all at once, they won’t be able to defeat the police.
What Elvy is doing now is similar.
If the thieves knew that I could see them, they would have no hope of survival and would surely flee in a swarm.
But as long as Elvy can control herself and not let these thieves feel threatened, they are unwilling to take the risk.
However, these thieves now wish they could bury their eyes in the ground, so no one dares to look Elvy in the eye.
But Elvy was not without a backup plan. She had already devoted some of her attention to controlling two teams of patrolling angels in order to block the thieves' escape routes from several directions.
If these thieves can't hold on any longer and all flee in a swarm, with these angels blocking their way, maybe we can kill a few more of them.
Elvy stopped the thieves sent by the old nobles, but what Xu Lai didn't expect was that these old nobles sent out far more than just thieves.
After working for two consecutive days, Xu Lai was really exhausted. Like those civilians, he found an open space in the square and set up a tent.
Xu Lai has been fighting outside for many years, so his demands for food, clothing, housing and transportation are actually very low.
Moreover, camping in the square can give the people a strong sense of security.
After all, there were a group of angels standing outside Xu Lai's tent, and the griffins were resting nearby.
But what Xu Lai didn't expect was that there were hundreds of angels standing outside, and some of them actually had their eyes on him.
Devin McCoy, a family that has never held real power, has set its sights on Cloud City and Congress.
The rest can all be considered the ruling families of the empire, and even the High King has to rely on them.
How could such a group of people accept that such a huge Lionheart City and such a huge empire would eventually fall into Xu Lai's hands?
Xu Lai is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. After killing Xu Lai, all problems will be solved, right?
Unlike demons, even if these old nobles can assassinate a demon, the ruler will only be replaced by another demon.
What's more, the Lord of Hell has such a great reputation that these down-and-out nobles don't have the courage to touch.
Therefore, when the demons attacked the city, they had no such thoughts at all.
But when the ruler of Lionheart City changed from a devil to a hero like Xu Lai, these old nobles could not help but be tempted.
Xu Lai is so young that he will definitely not look for a successor for himself so early.
And even if Xu Lai has a successor, it doesn’t matter. With so many subordinates under Xu Lai, it is impossible for all of them to be on the same page with his successor.
At that time, they would take advantage of Xu Lai's death and find a way to recruit the angels under Xu Lai.
Afterwards, they could divide and recruit other nobles in the name of Lionheart City, and they might be able to dominate the world in this chaotic time.
What's more, even in the worst case scenario, when no one is willing to continue to obey the leadership of Lionheart City, they have at least retained some power.
In contrast, Xu Lai dared to break into Lionheart City with only a few hundred angels and a group of griffins, without even two helpers.
Not only did he break in, but he also acted condescendingly, treating these nobles as slaves.
As the saying goes, this is intolerable, let alone this group of nobles who value face more than anything else.
Not only did Xu Lai not give them face, he also slaughtered the leader of the old nobles in front of them.
This posture is not just about not giving them face, but it looks like they want to eat them alive.
At a time like this, this group of old nobles naturally had nothing to worry about.
They all knew that once Xu Lai's large army overcame all those obstacles and entered the city, their doom would be here.
Based on the idea that it is the first to strike that gain the advantage and the last to strike that suffers, after returning home, several old nobles immediately found a way to contact a large number of thieves and killers.
In comparison, they invested more in the killers, and as many as 3 to 40 good players were recruited by them.
It doesn’t matter whether the thieves’ operation goes smoothly or not. As long as they capture Xu Lai, they have plenty of time to slowly get back what they lost.
The resting place that Xu Lai chose randomly also gave these killers an opportunity.
These killers, who were already famous in the dark world before the arrival of the demons, are naturally not so easy to kill.
It should even be said that after the demon disaster, these professionals who had originally been living underground were the ones who survived the best.
Xu Lai’s tent was a big tent, and it was surrounded by angels. Ordinary people didn’t even have a chance to get close.
But like killers and thieves, stealth is one of their essential skills.
The reason why they are inferior to thieves is that there is more than one bounty for killing Xu Lai, but the most valuable one must be the one for killing Xu Lai.
Therefore, these killers are completely lacking in the caution of thieves.
Even if someone thought of eliminating the traps and mechanisms first, there were already some impulsive people who rushed into Xu Lai's tent first.
They were lucky because Xu Lai had never expected that someone would come to assassinate him, so he did not place a trap at the door of his tent.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be stepped on first when he woke up.
However, successfully breaking into the tent is only the first step in the assassination.
In the minds of these killers, they did not think this would be a difficult task.
After all, Xu Lai is just a descended hero, and the descended heroes have only been in this world for about two years at most.
They were even less wary of Xu Lai than they were of their companions who were good at sneak attacks. (End of this chapter)
