The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

After the teleportation array was opened, the development of Lionheart City finally got on the right track.

Under the organization of grassroots officials, all the population of Lionheart City was mobilized.

Those who move bricks move bricks, those who build walls build walls, those who cremate do cremation, and those who clean clean.

The streets became clean and bright again, and the manor outside the city began to provide staple food to Lionheart City a day later.

It will take some time to grow vegetables and meat. When the devil came, the surrounding wild animals were almost eaten to extinction.

However, the population in the city has dropped sharply, and most of the third-class population cannot even get housing, so they have no choice but to leave Lionheart City and live outside the city.

The villages and towns outside the city require a large population to produce.

The temporarily appointed village heads and town mayors also obtained Xu Lai's permission to provide housing to these third-class people at a very low price.

Such treatment also forced these third-class people to rack their brains to obtain an official place of origin.

But the things they despised before are what many people dream of wanting.

Of course, it is not impossible to re-naturalize in the Eagle Kingdom, but one must have made one's own contributions.

For example, you can join the army. Administrative positions do not recruit third-class civilians, but soldiers will not have this restriction, and their treatment will not be any different.

Even after death, pensions will still be paid according to the treatment of ordinary citizens.

However, apart from joining the army, the rest of the paths are more difficult and the system is not yet perfect.

Fortunately, there weren't many people, because apart from Lionheart City, Xu Lai hadn't seen anyone in other places who was unwilling to join the Eagle Kingdom.

In other cities, the Eagle Kingdom and Xu Lai’s army appeared as saviors.

After all, Lionheart was the capital in the past.

Of course, Lionheart City is now also a secondary capital and the largest city in the entire Eagle Kingdom.

Ever since Tahan opened up the passage to Lionheart City and recaptured the nearby Demon City, more and more people have flocked to Lionheart City.

According to the latest population statistics, after driving out nearly 5 third-class people, there are still about 20 households, nearly people, settling in Lionheart City.

As time goes by, this scale will become larger and larger.

There are a lot of ownerless houses in Lionheart City that can be taken over by someone, and selling them casually can also bring in huge income.

With a professional team, Xu Lai can also move into the palace.

But he didn't like the luxurious decoration of the Aled family, and there were many old members of the Aled family in the palace.

Therefore, Xu Lai just temporarily found a palace to live in at the edge of the corner.

In fact, if Elena, Suya and the others hadn't come, he wouldn't even be willing to move out of the Holy City.

In fact, Elena would rather stay in the Holy City, but she is pregnant, and the Holy City was destroyed more thoroughly and has no facilities at all.

Xu Lai originally wanted Elena to return to Qingfeng City after the memorial service, after all, the environment there was much better.

But Xu Lai himself has to stay in Lionheart City for a while, and this city is also where Elena grew up.

Elena didn't want to go back, and Xu Lai certainly wouldn't force her. He just asked Su Ya to transfer more chefs and servants.

Xu Lai doesn't need it himself, but he won't be so hypocritical as to deprive his family of the convenience.

As a result, the royal palace in Qingfeng City is now deserted.

So Xu Lai asked Harris to bring his little blue dragon with him and raise it in Lionheart City.

Su Ya had not originally planned to stay in Lionheart City for long. After all, Qingfeng City was Xu Lai's base, and there could be no shortage of people there.

However, Su Ya has been guarding Xu Lai's hometown for such a long time, and until now, she has never even left the house.

Qingfeng City also has Dill Rogers in charge, so both public security and construction are in a very stable state.

Leaving Su Ya in Lionheart City as well, it would be unacceptable for the Holy Dragon to be left without anyone to take care of it.

After not seeing it for half a year, this little dragon has begun to look a bit like a giant dragon.

Having lived in the egg for too long, it absorbed nutrients rapidly after breaking out of the shell and grew extremely fast.

Although he is only a young dragon, Xiaolan is now a holy dragon with a body length of more than 15 meters.

Generally speaking, the length of a recruited dragon, even an 8th-level black dragon, is about this length.

Only wild dragons, such as the black dragon of Dragon Knight Sir Eric, could be larger than Xiaolan.

However, even though it was much bigger than Xiao Lan, the black dragon did not dare to get close when it arrived at Lionheart City.

Xiao Lan, who was playing in the palace, flew straight into the sky, holding his head high and flying above the black dragon.

The Holy Dragon is worthy of being the king of dragons. Even if it is just a teenage dragon, it can overwhelm an adult black dragon and make it breathless.

If Xiaolan hadn't been smart enough to recognize Eric's military uniform and the flag of the Vanguard Regiment.

Otherwise, with the performance of this black dragon, it might help Xiao Lan to wipe out the vanguard group.

Of course, Knight Eric is no pushover either. He is a big shot who can tame a black dragon single-handedly.

After receiving Xu Lai's call, Eric and Lena packed up their troops and headed towards Lionheart City.

Reina's army is huge, and they were already on a mission, so they can't respond quickly.

If you join the group first, you can get back quickly.

First, a steady stream of cavalry came over. Even though most of them did not enter the city, they patrolled and swept outside the city every day.

Afterwards, the teleportation array was opened, and officials and gentry from Qingfeng City were continuously teleported over.

Now there are thousands of elite infantrymen escorting thousands of priests into the city.

If the group had moved faster, it wouldn't have taken so long.

It was because Xu Lai received a strong request from Durr that he asked Sir Eric to escort him.

Although Tahan cleared the road, he really didn't have time to kill all those demons.

What's more, it is the time when the new moon turns to the old moon, and there are groups of wild monsters on the road.

Although there are priests in this world who are good at close combat like Ryan.

But in Xu Lai's usual impression, the image of a pastor is still relatively weak.

The first group to enter the city did not cause any big noise.

After all, there are already more than 10,000 horse archers and thousands of Holy Light Knights in the city.

A few thousand extra infantrymen really mean nothing.

But the return of the group of priests led by Dur to Lionheart City has extraordinary significance.

In front, the Knight Commander of the Temple swore allegiance to Xu Lai in the street, and behind, the Crimson Archbishop led the priests back.

The significance of these two things is basically equivalent to the Temple's recognition of the Eagle Kingdom.

This scene made the old imperial people who had been unwilling to settle in the Eagle Kingdom and now could only be third-class citizens regret it so much that their intestines turned green.

After all, if Xu Lai could eventually unify the entire human empire, they could have used this opportunity to become elders of the empire and get a big piece of the pie.

Just like the residents of Qingfeng City now, even if they only own a house in Qingfeng City, because it is the capital, this house can be easily exchanged for a manor in other big cities.

But it’s no use for them to regret now, because the thing the world lacks the least is regret medicine.

At this time, they were eagerly hoping that the armies of the Southern Empire, the Northern Empire, or the Eastern Empire would come and overthrow Xu Lai.

But the fact is that even if Xu Lai was defeated, these old imperial people who had been driven out of the city by Xu Lai would no longer be taken seriously.

With Xu Lai's full support, even the damaged walls, gates and moats of Lionheart City had no time to be repaired.

All the craftsmen in Lionheart City, including those transferred from Qingfeng City, were devoted to the restoration of Holy Angel City.

Since Xu Lai gave him so much face, Durr did not hesitate.

During the day, he brought a priest with him and used divine power to help Xu Lai find the heart of the castle of Lionheart City.

At night, he still led the priests and organized the remaining people in Lionheart City to pray for the victims of Lionheart City.

Lionheart City was captured, Holy Angel City was destroyed, and the faith of the people of Lionheart City almost completely collapsed.

Fortunately, Xu Lai was able to recapture Lionheart City quickly, and Dur returned in time, so there was still room for rescue.

In Dur's prayers and blessings, Xu Lai was portrayed as a messenger sent by the god of war.

The golden statue of the God of War erected by Xu Lai in Qingfeng City also fully demonstrates the extent to which Xu Lai is valued by the God of War.

Of course Xu Lai could not be absent from this important ceremony of restoring faith.

Moreover, as the one favored by the God of War, Xu Lai is also the most important core figure in the ceremony.

However, Xu Lai's face turned red with embarrassment after just listening to Durr's casual words.

Adjectives like "intelligent and brave", "extraordinarily brave", and "devil-killer" were piled on Xu Lai without any hesitation.

Xu Lai couldn't even refute, because he was the messenger and favored one of the God of War, how could he be so timid and afraid of death?

With Dur and others' unremitting propaganda, Xu Lai finally became the ultimate redeemer and savior of the human world.

The Eagle Kingdom naturally became the only empire respected by the temple.

Except for the recognized Northern Empire, the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire became heresies.

Xu Lai didn't know how terrible it was to be labeled a heretic, but he knew that in that world without divine power, so-called heretics often had only one end: being burned to death.

When Durr made this propaganda, he obviously did not consider his colleagues in the Southern Empire.

When the priests of the Southern Empire receive the news, there is a high probability that they will split.

Most of the priests who came from the Imperial Capital, the Northern Empire, and the Western Empire still have deep feelings for their homeland.

When these non-Southern faction priests went to the Southern Empire, they would naturally be excluded by the local priests.

What's more, influenced by the Pope, many pastors actually agree more with Xu Lai.

Especially since the invasion of demons and undead, the entire Southern Empire has not taken any action, and not even a decent reinforcement has been sent out.

Compared to Xu Lai, who overthrew the entire demon camp of hell almost single-handedly, it is self-evident who can get more recognition from these priests.

The most important thing is that Xu Lai now occupies the Holy City, and Dur has become the only Crimson Bishop in the Holy City.

Since ancient times, important orders from the temple have all come from the Holy City.

It was impossible for the bishops and archbishops in charge of other regions to disobey the orders from the Holy City and instead obey the orders from the Southern Cathedral.

After this grand ceremony, Lionheart City gained a great deal of loyalty, both in terms of faith and popular support.

With Dur's help, Xu Lai quickly found the heart of the castle of Lionheart City.

This thing was actually buried deep in the sewer by the devil. No wonder Xu Lai and his team couldn't dig it out.

Once he occupied the heart of the castle, the entire city would completely belong to Xu Lai.

Relying on the Heart of the Castle, many buildings can be quickly repaired as long as you have money.

For example, Cloud City, after filling it with gold coins and rare resources.

This city in the clouds, which had been floating above Lionheart City for thousands of years, finally floated above Lionheart City again.

The Capitol is also a standard building, and with the help of the Heart of the Castle and the money and craftsmen, it can be repaired very quickly.

Moreover, Congress has been forced to be downgraded, its area will be much smaller, and the resources invested will undoubtedly be much less.

The new parliament building is still larger than any other city’s parliament, and Jilong and others finally have their own office space.

As one building after another was repaired, Lena also rushed to Lionheart City with the Qingfeng Legion.

The entry of this large army into the city also completely destroyed the last hope of the old imperial people.

At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of Southern Empire soldiers who had been detained in the military camps could finally be pulled out to see the sun.

Xu Lai did not intend to take all of these people. Their levels were very high, but their fighting will was too weak.

It is hard to imagine that this 20-strong army was defeated by a single cavalry charge.

Even if the cavalry had an advantage, they could only send out a few waves in total, and there might be less than 10,000 knights deployed on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that with a ratio of 20 to 1, the Knights' casualties were almost negligible.

With the angels around, the knights were not afraid of casualties, but the angels were indeed of no use.

How can such a group of people who have almost no fighting will and have long been corrupted by a luxurious life be qualified to be called warriors?

First of all, Xu Lai doesn’t want any of the officers among these people.

Several major leaders who had ordered surrender that day were all hanged by Xu Lai in front of the soldiers.

Including the commander of the Royal Archer Corps, Earl Will, the uncle of Princess Jasmine Aled.

Even Jasmine Alade's maternal uncle was killed. Xu Lai and the Southern Empire were completely incompatible.

But as the saying goes, if one soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent too.

The reason why these soldiers behaved like this is basically because of the incompetence of their leading officer.

It just so happened that Xu Lai's Qingfeng Legion and the Knight's Wind Legion had gone through dozens of battles, large and small, and many soldiers had made great contributions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Lai gave lavish rewards.

The Qingfeng Corps has the largest number of soldiers, and the new recruits that Xu Lai brought from the grassland have also been tempered after various major battles.

Now there are another 100,000 soldiers, and new soldiers will continue to be recruited from Lionheart City.

Therefore, Xu Lai planned to split another legion from the Qingfeng Legion.

Xu Lai planned to hand over the leadership of this legion to the dragon knight Eric.

However, Eric only has the status of a knight. Although he can lead the recruitment of soldiers, he does not even have the bonus of a general.

In order to change this situation, Xu Lai had to be conferred a title.

Moreover, people like Eric who are not born heroes must at least be granted the title of Earl or above in order to have the specialized abilities of heroes. (End of this chapter)
