Xu Lai did not make the decision himself. He asked someone to invite the Crimson Archbishop Duer who was currently in charge of the work in the temple.
Xu Lai wanted Duer to support some priests.
The priests Xu Lai recruited only had some simple sacred spells, which were far less versatile and powerful than the priests of the temple.
However, the Holy City is still under reconstruction, and the new grand temple in Qingfeng City is also under construction.
The priests of the temple are also responsible for repairing the terrain and rebuilding faith. Really, even if one is divided into eight, it may not be enough.
Not long after Duer sat down, he gave a firm and affirmative answer just like Xu Lai.
"I'm trying to coordinate. There are also many pastors in the south who want to come over. I just take this opportunity to communicate with them.
I don't want to do anything else. I can guarantee that when we send out troops anyway, I will provide you with at least 500 priests, of which not less than half will be bishops and archbishops.”
Ordinary priests and priest apprentices don’t have many spells and equipment. Not too good either, mana is very limited.
Sending them to the battlefield, I really can’t tell whether they are going to help or to cause trouble.
But considering the actual situation, the temple really can't get too many senior priests.
Besides, low-level priests have not been allowed to experience, and they have no chance to grow into high-level priests.
Xu Lai didn’t know how sure Duer was, but the priests in the south, especially the senior temple officials Xu Lai knew.
He believes that he can still find a way to fight for it.
Among the crimson bishops, Wright has already broken with him. If Xu Lai does not participate, he may have a greater chance of winning over.
Kemel and Neil both died in the battle of Lionheart City.
Among the remaining people Xu Lai knew, the only ones were Archangel Gilad and Knight Commander Morrison.
In addition to Xu Lai himself, Duer and Lina also have many close friends in the temple.
If you activate them all, you will be able to convince many priests, bishops, and even archbishops to come to the Eagle Kingdom.
"How long can the elves last?" Xu Lai asked.
The Qingfeng Legion's vacation is not over yet, and it will take time to summon the priests.
The only ones Xu Lai can use now are the Knight Wind Legion and the new legion that Eric is adapting.
The female ranger raised her head and said: "That damn necromancer turned all our brothers and sisters into undead.
They even broke into the ancestral land of the elves..."
After a pause, the female ranger continued: "In short, the current situation is not optimistic. The strength of the undead is dozens of times greater than ours.
All the defenses of the Emerald Forest are placed around the deepest World Tree.
I can’t say how long it will take for the undead to capture the World Tree. With luck, we can hold on for two or three years.
However, due to the death of a large number of animals and plants in the Green Forest, the state of the World Tree is also extremely bad.
If there is another problem with World Tree, we may not survive three months. "
The ranger's expression is extremely sad, and paired with that beautiful face, it is particularly poignant.
Xu Lai thought for a moment and then said: "How long does it take to get to the Emerald Forest from here?"
The female ranger said: "We came here by teleportation array. If it is a large army action, my ranger troops will come here. Look, it will take at least 10 to 15 days.”
Although the ranger does not have a mount, it is a famous fast unit.
What's more, elves have a speed bonus in forest terrain.
When you arrive in human territory, although there is no speed bonus, there are stone roads, making it easier to walk.
If the rangers take 10-15 days, then the Qingfeng Legion, which is mainly infantry, may take a month to reach the Emerald Forest.
No way, elves and humans are two different territories, with a large number of areas occupied by the undead in between.
Before the loss, the elves left the city sign of the barrier city in the Stone City.
Otherwise, these rangers would not even have time to call for help.
If you don’t move the Qingfeng Legion and use the Knight Legion, the speed of the humans can be increased several times.
The problem is that in the forest environment, the knights have extremely inconvenient movement and are much slower than the infantry.
Taking it all together, the Knight Wind is not much faster than the Qingfeng Legion, at most it is about the same as the Rangers.
If you add a priest, it will be even more cumbersome, not as good as the Qingfeng Legion.
Without a priest, a pure cavalry team, even if it is full of Holy Light Knights, cannot compete with the undead.
“The priests sent out by Bishop Duer can go directly by the teleportation array.
I have a good relationship with the Naga in the Deep Sea, and I can get enough energy stones at a low cost.
I can still support the consumption of teleporting back and forth for a group of 500 or 1,000 priests.
But these few hundred priests are just a drop in the bucket and will not be of much help to the overall situation. "
The elves can no longer be dealt with by hundreds of priests. They need a large number of soldiers and a hero who can fully suppress the undead.
Otherwise, let Sandru continue to fight for support As the battle continues, the undead will fight more and more, and the elves and humans will fight less and less
When the undead form a terrifying undead natural disaster, humans and elves will at least be exterminated as one camp.
“I will lead the Qingfeng Legion to set off first. If we travel day and night, we should be able to reach the Emerald Forest in about ten days.
At that time, I will ask Bishop Duer to take the teleportation formation and go to the meeting. .”
Rena hurriedly put forward her idea.
“But one-third of the Qingfeng Legion is still on vacation.”
"Keep them all, leave them to Eric, and use this one-third as the backbone of the new legion.
I will draw 30,000 archers from those royal archer regiments, and it should be almost the same "
Leina's answer was slightly uneasy. No matter what, the Qingfeng Legion is Xu Lai's team.
She was trusted by Xu Lai and became the commander of the Qingfeng Legion.
But this legion, from recruiting and paying settling-in allowances, to equipping everyone with equipment, logistical supplies, to advancing, the cost is probably tens of millions of gold coins.
She didn't want Xu Lai to think that she was targeting his Qingfeng Legion.
But her current behavior is what everyone would think.
Xu Lai was still thinking, but the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn.
Before Xu Lai could think about it, Reina lifted her robe, knelt down in front of Xu Lai again and said:
"My Majesty, I know I shouldn't propose such a thing. Non-request.
You released me from the prison, and I have nothing to repay you for.
Now I want to use the legion you built to take risks. I really feel ashamed of you.
But I really have no other way. I can ignore the elves and the barriers, but the World Tree is the mother of all elves.
I will never let the undead defile and destroy the World Tree. Please help us. ”
For the elves, the World Tree is the existence that gives birth to their lives. Compared with the mother who gave birth to them, it just cannot speak.
For elves, it is okay to betray the country, the camp, or even the race, but they will not betray the World Tree. Not to mention Reina, a native elf, even Giselle, Bai Yang and the others would never be able to watch the destruction of the World Tree.
Xu Lai quickly helped Reina up and said: "I have said it before, I will do my best to help.
Of course the Qingfeng Legion will go, I am here The consideration is time.
Even if you can march quickly and reach the Emerald Forest within ten days, will you definitely be able to catch up with the battle on the front line?
At this moment, every battle missed will create a greater gap between the strength of the enemy and ourselves.
Let me ask you again, after ten days of forced march, how much physical strength can the soldiers at that time still have? How to fight?
It really takes ten days of urgent march to reach the battlefield. You are not there to fight, but to lead people to death.
Finally, if you want to arrive in ten days, the logistics team will definitely not be able to bring it with you. How much food can you carry?
More food and heavy loads will affect the speed of your rapid march.
There is less food. If we fail to arrive in time, or if the elves' meeting point is occupied by the undead, should they all starve to death? "
Xu Lai's few questions made the elves present speechless.
The female ranger also sighed and said: "I am too optimistic. Before, I only considered the ranger's marching speed, not the supply situation. ”
As a general, the female ranger has of course considered the supply issue.
It’s just that elves are different from humans. As long as they are in the forest, they will not lack food.
< br>
The Ranger troops almost never left the forest, so she automatically ignored them.
Faced with Reina's silence, Xu Lai mused: "
You can also relax, I promised to help you, and I will never break my promise.
And Just now, I have already thought about it. If I want to think quickly To rush to the battlefield quickly, you must use the power of magic.
Master De Ai in the tower once released a door to another dimension for me, allowing me to cross a distance of hundreds of kilometers and rush directly to the grassland. .
I can also use the Gate of Different Dimensions spell, but I am not specialized in air magic, so I may not be able to achieve the same effect as Master De Ai.
What I think is that sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of firewood, and we can prepare logistical materials as soon as possible.
I will find a way to ask Master De Ai to come and ask him to open a door for us no matter what."
"There is no other way, respected King Xu Lai.
The sisters who went to the tower to ask for help came back and said that the mages in the tower had gone their own ways and had long since abandoned their original agreement.
They won't provide us with any more assistance. ”
Xu Lai didn’t care about the situation in the tower for a long time. His focus during this period was on Lion Heart City.
He only knew that the tower is currently the only city with many large hell cities. place.
West. Many demons in the empire will use the castle gate to teleport directly to the tower before the city is captured.
Leina led the Qingfeng Legion to sweep through many demon cities, at least half of them. It's an empty city.
Although this greatly improved Xu Lai's efficiency in recovering the Western Empire, it also put heavier pressure on the tower.
The Twelve-member Council in the Tower was originally an extremely loose alliance.
They just managed to gain a foothold by occupying a unique geographical advantage.
But at the same time, the geographical advantage of the tower is also the geographical advantage of the devil.
The devil has occupied several high mountains, including the Aswan Snow Mountain. The famous Aswan Snow Mountain has even been transformed into the Aswan Furnace.
Now the advantage of the mountains is in the hands of the devil, and there is also a furnace that can flow magma.
Not to mention driving away demons, the tower can only maintain the existing territory.
Without the help of the Tower Magister, Xu Lai's ability alone would not save much distance by opening a door to another dimension.
There is no way, Master De Ai not only has more mental power than Xu Lai, but also has ultimate air magic and specialties in space magic.
In addition, Master Deai also has a full set of air and space spell enhancement equipment.
Even so, he could not send Xu Lai's men directly back to Qingfeng City, but had to continue traveling for a while.
But Xu Lai, Reina, and no one, including Tahan, had control of the city on the elf side.
In other words, the gate of time and space is also impenetrable.
The Gate of Different Dimensions and the Gate of Time and Space are of little use. If you want to get there quickly, you can only fly over.
Xu Lai has not yet possessed an artifact like the Blazing Sky Wings, but he has mastered the magic of flying.
Without the ultimate air magic, Xu Lai's flying magic is not very fast, and there is no way to save mana.
But his mental power is high enough. Even except for a great mage like De Ai, few mages can compare with his mental power.
High enough mental power means that he can fly long enough.
A major advantage of flying is that it does not require detours and can ignore the terrain, greatly saving distance.
Besides, his so-called slow speed is only compared to the flying magic of the ultimate air magic.
Compared with the traveling speed of ordinary infantry, he is still much faster.
The most important thing is that logistics is not helpful for flying, but Xu Lai's talent is so fast that even flying is still useful.
This rapid effect gave Xu Lai the blessing equivalent to the intermediate level of Qi magic.
In addition, if you use flying magic, all the weight will be offset by magic.
Soldiers can not only carry more supplies, but also do not consume physical strength.
Even if there is any problem on the front line, they can join the battle as soon as they arrive.
The only problem is that with Xu Lai's mana and mana recovery speed, he will probably have to suffer a lot if he wants to rush to the battlefield quickly.
The Great Magician's Book has been integrated into Xu Lai's magic book, and his magic book cannot be traded to others.
Even if he gives the magic book to Reina, the hero can quickly cast spells with the help of the magic book, and the magic book is also bound to the hero.
“That’s it, you all go back and prepare, especially Rena, go back and select soldiers.
This time, after all, it is a battle in a foreign land, on the premise of ensuring combat effectiveness and adapting to forest combat.
The wishes of the soldiers should be considered first.
In addition, tell them that during the period of fighting the undead, I will double the military salary and give priority to promotion to officers. "
With a bang, Reina solemnly performed a military salute.
Xu Lai knew that as long as he could return victorious this time, this general would not be able to escape him. The palm of my hand
And based on the lifespan of an elf, this woman will be there to protect the Xu family in the next three to four hundred years.
After Reina left, several elf rangers also got up together.
The leading female ranger said to Xu Lai: "Dear Your Majesty the King, my name is Trisili.
From today on, you will always be a friend of the elves and the most distinguished guest of the elves. "(End of this chapter)
