The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Before Xu Lai went to bed at night, he received another piece of good news.

Yu Lan has successfully led a large number of citizens into Xu Lai's Qingfeng Castle.

Unfortunately, Xu Lai's notice was too late, and Su Ya didn't have time to prepare.

Although many wooden houses for refugees have been prepared in advance, even the houses for recruiting soldiers next month have been built.

However, Yu Lan brought too many people back this time, a total of 3,000 people.

Fortunately, during this time, Gram Village has been undergoing reconstruction, and house construction has not stopped.

After being promoted to Gram Town, the territory has been greatly improved, and people I knew before are constantly coming to join me.

The most important thing is that most of those who came from the wilderness are herdsmen and prefer to live in the unfettered Gram Town.

On the contrary, the people Xu Lai rescued from the Northern Empire dreamed of living in the city.

Yu Lan also brought back a lot of tents from Green Forest Town, which were divided between the two towns. Those who couldn't live in the tents lived in tents first, but they could barely settle down.

One more troublesome thing left is the distribution of land.

Su Ya still dares to make the decision, but she is really unsure about the land affairs.

It happened that Yu Lan came back this time and brought back the magic message stone, so Su Ya took the initiative to dial Xu Lai's communication in the evening.

The moment the communication was dialed, Su Ya shouted softly at the other end of the magic message stone: "Master, is it you."

Hearing this voice, Xu Lai also trembled and quickly replied: "It's me, I'm here."

Xu Lai had long since stopped her from calling her master, especially the people she recruited later, whether it was Wei Yihong, Urdola, or the big and small Aiboka brothers.

Or perhaps none of the Tahan, Yan Feng and others promoted by Xu Lai called her that, so Xu Lai specifically asked Su Ya to change her title.

After all, Su Ya was Xu Lai's most trusted person and the de facto second-in-command of Qingfeng Castle. Xu Lai was not willing to let her suffer any injustice.

However, Su Ya didn't feel aggrieved, but felt aggrieved because she was not allowed to call her.

Unlike others, Su Ya came from a humble background and was promoted from a farmer by Xu Lai.

At that time, even if Xu Lai couldn't wait for the shooters to advance, he could at least promote a level 2 trainee shooter.

Relatively speaking, if you promote a shooter, you will definitely get a shooter general, which may be of greater help to Xu Lai in the early stage.

Therefore, from the bottom of her heart, Su Ya has low self-esteem.

Unlike others who are 100% loyal to Xu Lai, Su Ya still has deep gratitude and dependence on Xu Lai.

Especially since she had just used her own abilities to fight against the manticore guarding the underground passage, which once again proved her fighting ability and was of little help to Xu Lai.

In front of outsiders, Su Ya could still pretend to be strong, but the moment she heard Xu Lai's voice, she almost couldn't hold it back.

"How are you doing outside?"

Xu Lai seemed to hear the choke in Su Ya's voice, and he forced himself to comfort him:

"Don't worry, I'm fine. If you don't believe me, just ask Yu Lan. She has been taking care of me."

This is what Su Ya regrets the most, but she also knows that helping Xu Lai protect his escape and his home is a more important thing.

So Su Ya quickly reported the recent situation to Xu Lai.

"In other words, you discovered the wolf rider in the stronghold and the town in the dungeon at the same time?"

On the other side of the magic message stone, Su Ya nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, Jian Yuan has personally led a team to sneak into the underground to investigate. There are many rich mineral deposits underground, but so far only two underground towns have been discovered, and no underground city has been discovered.

Therefore, it is still unclear whether there are underground city forces underground in Qingfeng Castle.

But for the orcs in the stronghold, I am very clear that they are coming for us.

As early as when I discovered the wolf riders being investigated by the orcs, I asked Giselle to take Bai Yang to block the orcs' investigation direction.

But Giselle told me that even if the orcs kept dying in the dense forest, there were still a steady stream of orcs approaching here, and they seemed to be sure that there would be something to gain here. "

Xu Lai frowned, not because of the news about the orcs.

To be honest, after being reminded in Greenwood Town, he was already prepared for the orcs' revenge.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to throw back all the troops except the cavalry and angels.

In fact, even if Xu Lai only wanted to bring high-speed troops, he could have kept the royal griffons by his side.

With this group of royal griffins around, they can not only protect the angels, but their swarm dives can also inflict fatal damage to the enemy.

He frowned because he was losing mana too quickly, and it was too far away from Qingfeng Castle after all.

Hurrying down a bottle of mana potion that he was usually reluctant to use, Xu Lai said hurriedly:

"First of all, don't alert them in the underground city. We don't want to provoke other enemies at this time.

Secondly, regardless of whether the orcs are coming for us or not, you must treat them as coming to attack us.

I request that the entire Qingfeng Fort enter a state of combat readiness and defense.

I asked Yu Lan to bring you the heart of the castle and supplies. Don't wait for me any longer and use them first.

It's best to build the fortress and base camp for me before the large orc army invades.

By the way, I also heard that you left me a lot of equipment. I asked Yu Lan to bring some back, like the life amulet, the noble headdress, etc. You can use them directly.

You and Rogers, please be fully armed.

Even if you lose the city in the end, it doesn't matter. I still have the heart of the castle here. At worst, we can start over in the Northern Empire.

But no matter what, nothing can happen to you two, especially you and Yu Lan, do you hear me? "

Su Ya bit her lip and said: "I understand, don't worry, I will live for you.

Not only me, but also Yu Lan, Giselle and the others will definitely survive. "

Xu Lai nodded and said: "I'm just afraid that you will be brave. Anyway, you have to remember to tell me whenever you are in danger, and I can fly back immediately.

Also, except for food and military supplies, all the other supplies stored at home were discarded. Wei Yihong and the others were asked to seize the time to organize another caravan and sell them all.

Even if you lose some money, it doesn't matter. You can exchange all of it for me for supplies and stones.

On your side, first find a way to build the base camp, and then expand the city wall for me.

Don't worry about the rocky mountain at home. Start collecting now at the maximum speed.

Before the orcs launch an attack on us, the bigger the city is, the better. If it's too small, I won't be able to bring enough troops back to support it.

Don’t hesitate to divide your family’s land, just divide it.

This is a special situation. If the orcs want to besiege us, we must have enough self-sufficient land in the city.

Don't be stingy with money. It's best to spend every penny of your family's money. It would be better if you can borrow money.

Anyway, how much you spend is how much I can earn back. "

Xu Lai didn't dare to say this in his previous life, but in this life, with the 500,000 gold coins in his space backpack as a backing, Xu Lai is really not afraid.

"I understand, and I will do my best to defend myself.

Yu Lan's magic power can no longer hold up. Is there anything else you want to explain? "

Xu Lai said: "It's nothing. It's very hard for you to accommodate so many people at once. You and Yu Lan should have a rest early."

After hanging up the communication, Xu Lai closed his eyes and meditated.

The appearance of the orcs did not surprise him. What surprised him was that the orcs' wolf riders could travel to and from Xu Lai's Qingfeng Castle unhindered.

Xu Lai had traveled nearly a week from the Pingfeng Mountains to reach the current Qingfeng Castle.

This week, except for fighting and resting times, I traveled almost day and night without stopping at all.

In addition, at that time, although he was leading farmers, he was recruiting farmers. As long as he still had physical strength, there would be no delays in the day.

In one week, I could walk about 80 kilometers a day, which is almost more than 500 kilometers.

Of course, Xu Lai walked around wild monsters, so he walked crookedly, so he probably didn't actually reach 500 kilometers.

But even 400 kilometers is not a short distance. The high-speed train takes more than an hour.

Besides, it's impossible for the wolf riders to walk in a straight line. With such a long distance, how do they manage to come to investigate every day, and the number of people is increasing.

Even if the Wolf Riders can't stop them, don't they need supplies if they go deep into the hinterland?

Xu Lai wouldn't have such doubts if they happened once or twice by chance. There must be something wrong with the constant flow of questions.

Apart from anything else, the reason why Count Aini was driven away by the Wolf Cavalry before was because no one could know which target the Wolf Cavalry was going to attack.

If this were the case now, even Xu Lai, who had not studied much military theory, would know that he could find a way to set up an ambush in a nearby village.

Although the grassland is empty, it doesn't mean that you can't set up an ambush.

First of all, the grass in the magical world is extremely lush. If a person squats down or lies down, he will definitely be covered by the grass.

Of course, the orcs should be able to be spotted at close range, but if they are already at close range, can your shooter still be unable to hit them?

The wolf cavalry were not heavy cavalry, so Xu Lai didn't believe they dared to attack the infantry square.

Secondly, this world also has camouflage spells.

Xu Lai himself was attacked by invisible wolf cavalry. They didn't need to be invisible to set up an ambush. They only needed to disguise themselves and wait in place.

The large army of orcs did not appear, and even a dozen wolf riders would not be able to do anything. They could not even pass through the dense forest array arranged by Bai Yang, and they did not understand Qingfeng Castle at all.

Therefore, although Xu Lai was confused at this time, he did not dare to confirm anything yet.

But Xu Lai still had to make more preparations.

He called his magic consultant Nofa and left him in the huge city of Avic.

What Xu Lai asked Nofa to do was very simple, which was to use his local advantage to help Xu Lai collect supplies.

Expanding the base camp city requires a lot of stones, and Xu Lai doesn't know if his stone mountain is enough.

And even if it was enough, the city would not expand too much, so Xu Lai left Nofa behind to collect more stones. (End of chapter)
