Chapter 154 Inappropriate, Inappropriate
Xu Lai’s voice became weaker and weaker. Duer and Pierce looked at each other in the big tent, always feeling like their faces were on fire.
On the contrary, Ryan said without any shame on his face:
"How can you say that, Commander? I admit that I pushed you to the front line, but I never Let you die.
I promise you with my life that even if everyone else dies on the day of the decisive battle, you will definitely survive!”
Ryan's words were so categorical that Xu Lai couldn't tell for a moment whether this guy was joking with him or serious.
Under Ryan's arrangement, Xu Lai and Tahan were not short of food and hot water. Pierce gave his own to Xu Lai in the big tent, which was spacious and comfortable.
This time, Xu Lai only had Tahan, Yan Feng, Giselle and Dill around him. This time, even Yu Lan was abandoned by him in Qingfeng Town.
For a few days when Xu Lai was not in town, Su Ya was even more heroic than Xu Lai. She directly opened the maximum magnification and spent 3 days to forcefully train the 9 level 3 shooters to level 4. .
Su Ya knew that Xu Lai wouldn’t want it until he reached level 4.
So even if one person consumes 120 gold coins a day, and the nine shooters consume more than 3,200 gold coins in three days, she doesn't care, which is much higher than the cost of their advancement.
Sure enough, after Xu Lai came back, he only took away the cavalry and archers.
In this way, the only troops around Xu Lai are Tahan, the 7th level knight, 2 level 6 knights, and 8 knight retinues who were promoted from the rangers.
Xu Lai considered that in a decisive battle, defense is more important than attack, and the most important thing is to save his own life.
Therefore, all 8 rangers were promoted to knight retinues. Those who had been promoted to mercenaries before could only continue to be promoted to rangers.
The cavalry archer unit consists of level 7 hero Yan Feng, 8 level 6 rangers and 9 level 5 mercenaries.
Compared with the knight, in addition to the improvement of attributes and equipment, the characteristics of the great knight have once again strengthened the charging effect, and the charging speed and speed additional damage have been greatly improved.
The charging speed can be increased up to 2 times the normal speed, and the upper limit of speed additional damage is increased to 2.5 times.
Of course, the charging speed cannot be increased to the extreme at once. The best charging distance of the Great Knight is 100 meters away.
The hero has been upgraded to a top-notch bow rider, with top-notch bows and arrows, top-notch noble war horses, and the armor mixed with mithril is lightweight, but its defense power has not dropped but has increased.
The mounted shooting feature allows the hero to move at high speed without affecting his hit rate.
Including Xu Lai, there are a total of 30 cavalry and knights.
Dil led 3 level 6 explosive shooters including Giselle, 4 level 6 shooter masters, 6 level 5 marksmen, 5 level 5 flame shooters and a total of 15 Level 4 long archer.
Including Deere Rogers, there are a total of 35 shooter units.
After a whole night's rest, Ryan brought bad news to Xu Lai. The Inoue Village lady he wanted had disappeared, and after the archbishop's spell search, it was confirmed that this guy's soul had disappeared. If it falls, there is no possibility of resurrection.
When Xu Lai heard the news, he really had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't even know what to say for a while.
Logically speaking, if this guy is dead, he should be happy.
But this guy didn't die in front of Xu Lai, but disappeared in such an unclear way, which made Xu Lai feel that he had no power to use.
“Do you know how he died?”
Lian shook his head and said: “I don’t know, but that’s the only possibility. Yesterday you just offended Count Aini. Count Aini was embarrassed in public.
These nobles value their face more than anything else. I don’t think that Inoue village man even survived last night. "
"So, we so-called heroes will die if we die. No one will take us seriously anyway. "
Inoue Murao will die if he dies. If he is not killed by Aini, Xu Lai will find a way to kill him.
But Inoue Muro has another identity after all. , even like Xu Lai and the others, they are all heroes
Xu Lai does not expect the temple to uphold justice, but if the natives of this world do not regard them as one of their own, then he is an outsider, even more so. Don't care about the feelings of the natives.
It seems that Count Ani just bullied a random hero, but in fact, it was the entire hero camp that was offended.
“As an important part of a camp, a hero cannot die in vain. Anyone who kills a hero will be hated by the hero’s camp.
In the words you understand better, that is It will reduce the basic favorability of the camp.
However, with Count Aini’s identity and status, if you want to kill someone, you definitely don’t need to do it yourself.
I can also assure you, wait for this. After this war, our temple will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.”
"No need!" Xu Lai said seemingly casually: "It doesn't matter anyway. There is an old saying in my hometown, which is that the mountain will fall if you rely on someone to rely on, and you will run if you rely on everyone. Only you are the most reliable."
said After that, Xu Lai shrugged again and said: "Who told that guy to be alone? He couldn't even find anyone to help him get revenge after he died."
Lian looked directly into Xu Lai's eyes, not looking at this. Any change in expression is seen in both eyes.
After a moment, High Priest Ryan sighed helplessly. This was the situation he least wanted to see. The empire relies on the pillar to save the world. It no longer trusts the empire and its people, so there is no talk of salvation.
For Xu Lai, Inoue villagers are already dead. He can't care about him even if he wants to, so he simply ignores him.
Originally, he wanted to go to the elves to see the giant dragon today, but before he could go, the elf ranger came to visit him first.
Strictly speaking, they didn’t come for him, but to see Giselle.
People are very interested in Xu Lai, a human hero, but appointed an elf captain.
The master is here, so of course Xu Lai can't rush to other people's campsites. Besides, he is actually very busy today.
Pierce came over early in the morning and invited Xu Laiqu to practice with them.
Although Xu Lai only brought 29 cavalry, it was not so easy to blend into the holy knights that had been established for a long time.
It would take more than a day for Xu Lai to become familiar with the basic formations, marches and the most important orders.
But they didn’t have much time, so even at night, Xu Lai was still reciting what he had learned during the day.
There is no way, even if Xu Lai is only a nominal commander, he must memorize various orders and flags on the battlefield.
There was no way the large force could retreat. He would rush forward alone, or if Pierce asked him to go to the left, he would have to rush to the right.
On the first day, he memorized formations and orders. On the second day, Xu Lai came into contact with riding formations.
Because time was really limited, Pierce did not teach too complicated a lesson at all. He only asked Xu Lai and other knights to practice the cone formation and retreat methods.
For other formations on the battlefield, Pierce could only ask Xu Lai to follow him closely, because even if he was willing to teach, Xu Lai would definitely not be able to master it. It was better to let him memorize one first.
On the third day, Xu Lai and Pierce only had time to practice for a whole morning, and were called to the military meeting in the afternoon.
The location of the military meeting was in the large meeting hall inside the fortress. Xu Lai followed Pierce all the way and met some acquaintances at the gate of the fortress.
First of all, there was Wang Chao who guarded the gate of the fortress. He led a group of spearmen to guard the gate, checking and letting people go one by one.
On both sides of the gate, there were many low-level officers who were not qualified to enter, including the group of people Xu Lai saw on the general stage a few days ago.
Although they all hold the responsibility of captains, they are actually ranked behind those knights who were temporarily promoted.
But even the formal knights served by the knight's retinue are not qualified to enter, let alone these lower-ranked heroes.
Wang Chao couldn't hide his excitement when he saw Xu Lai, and came up to greet Xu Lai excitedly.
Xu Lai also patted his shoulder kindly and told him that Dong Shuqin had settled in Qingfeng Town.
Most of the other heroes looked at Xu Lai with jealousy. They couldn't figure out why Xu Lai, who had offended Count Aini to death that day, was still able to attend the highest-level military meeting.
They didn’t know that based on Xu Lai’s own words, of course he didn’t have the qualifications. Even if he did, Count Aini wouldn’t be able to let him come.
However, Xu Lai is now the commander of the strongest knights in the entire Stone Castle. Even if it is only in name, Count Aini has to grit his teeth and invite Xu Lai.
This is the last military meeting before the decisive battle with the orcs, and it is also the most important troop formation.
It is for this reason that countless middle and low-level officers gathered outside the fortress gate, including even spies with strongholds in the camp.
They are all eager to know where they will be placed in the end. It is estimated that everyone is praying not to become the damn pioneer.
“I think this pioneer officer must be the hero Xu Laixu.
In the decisive battle with the stronghold camp, the morale of the first soldier is extremely important. If you lose the first battle, it will be even more important in the following battles. There is no chance, so it must be Xu Yingxiong and the Temple Knights.”
As expected, after the military discussion for a long time, the actual content of the discussion was finally reached.
The first ones to fight were indeed Xu Lai and the Temple Knights.
The aloof Earl Ani looked proud, as if his proposal had been unanimously approved by everyone.
It seems that he has already seen the scene where Xu Lai, the hero who embarrassed him, died tragically at the hands of the orcs.
Even the temple itself did not object. Count Aini's proposal was of course irrefutable.
At this moment, Holy Light Knight Pierce came out and said:
"Your Excellency, as the Lord of the Grassland, if you can personally go out in the first battle, I think the morale of the first line of soldiers will be high. , the orcs will be surrendered by then."
Count Aini's face turned pale, and he instantly recalled the terrifying beastly face from a few days ago, and shook his head in panic:
"I. It’s inappropriate for the commander-in-chief of this place to be trapped in the battle.”
