"My lord, what are your orders?"
After receiving the title of baron, except for the people in the temple, all his men changed their titles.
But in fact, Xu Lai didn't like the identity of baron. Instead, the title of hero made him feel more and more identified with it.
Fortunately, Count Aini thought that it was a shame for him to confer Xu Lai as a baron, especially since Xu Lai, a baron, was unwilling to perform even the most basic etiquette of being granted a title.
You know, for thousands of years in the empire, no matter how powerful a noble is, he must kneel in front of his superior nobles when receiving a title.
Therefore, Xu Lai's rejection made Aini particularly angry. Even if there was an excuse during the war, Aini was not willing to publicize it for Xu Lai.
Otherwise, even if noble titles have been rampant for thousands of years, a baron will still give Xu Lai a lot of prestige.
“Can your freezing arrows freeze all these corpses without damaging their bodies?”
Most of the corpses that Xu Lai snatched back were wounded. , the resurrection technique also has requirements for the integrity of the corpse. If Dill shoots the corpse with one arrow, then there is no need to implement his idea.
Dil thought for a while and said: "I can give it a try. If it is controlled well, it should not cause secondary damage to the body."
Xu Lai clapped his hands and said: "That's great. You can help me freeze them first.
The weather has been hot these days. Anyway, the battle with the stronghold camp has come to an end. You can take it with you when you return. The shooters have also moved to the Temple Knights' station.
You are responsible for guarding them and not letting the ice melt."
Dil responded: "No problem, my lord."
With Xu Lai's current relationship with the Temple Knights, arranging a camp for Dill and the others is really not a big problem.
After giving this order, Xu Lai carefully looked at the situation of Dill and his troops. It was much better than Xu Lai expected.
This war was larger in scale, with both quantity and quality improved by several levels. However, Xu Lai gained less experience than the last time. The fundamental reason is that he is no longer the leader of the war. .
In this war, the leaders of both sides were Taloshi, the commander of the wolf cavalry, and Aini, the human count.
Whether they win or lose, these two are the two who have gained the most experience.
Xu Lai is just the commander of the Temple Knights, at best the commander of a partial army, and he has not yet had a decisive impact on the battlefield.
Compared with Xu Lai, Dill Rogers is even worse, because he is not even the main general, but just Kate's deputy general.
Only a very small part of the experience gained by the shooter group went to Dill, and since his level was high enough, his level did not increase.
However, although Dier himself has not improved, the shooters under his command have not.
As archers who have been active from the beginning of the battle until they have supplied two rounds of arrows, and finally go up to slash with their weapons, they have killed the most enemies and gained the most experience.
None of the shooters on Dill's side were killed, and they were even promoted to one level collectively.
As long as Xu Lai's gold coins are in place, they can advance immediately.
Of course, Xu Lai's side is not bad either. Except for the surviving seventh-level paladin who did not advance, the three surviving knights all got the opportunity to advance.
Three of the four rangers were killed. They had no shields and were more dangerous than the knights in close combat. However, the knights also shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting Xu Lai and the flag, and their death rate was not low.
The only remaining ranger can naturally advance to the level of heroic, but three of the heroics were also killed, and only four more were left.
Including Yan Feng, Xu Lai started with a team of 30 knights, and later added 10 level 4 trainee knights. Now there are only 4 level 7 paladins and 4 level 7 heroes left. There are 10 people in total including him and Yan Feng.
After all, the level of the trainee knights was low, and even with the ultimate defense bonus, none of them could survive, which was a pity.
But it was not bad. In the evening, Tahan returned to the camp with the fallen paladins and knights.
Paladins and knights are of a very high level and have a higher upper limit of health. Archangel’s resurrection technique is based on the upper limit of life.
So, the number of this batch of resurrected knights is not very large. It seems that there are only more than 40 people in total, not even 50 people.
If it were replaced by level 4 trainee knights, there would probably be at least 100 of them.
There is no way, 40 knights dare to attack 400 trainee knights, not to mention there are more important paladins inside. Of course, they must be resurrected first.
However, even if the Paladins are given priority to be resurrected, several Paladins will never be seen again, including Duma, the captain of the first team who has a good relationship with Xu Lai.
Pierce actually didn't have much time to train Xu Lai. Most of the time, the two paladins Duma and Walker taught him personally.
From this aspect, Duma can be regarded as half of Xu Lai's teacher. What he taught Xu Lai this week can serve him for a lifetime.
However, although the body of the poor Paladin Duma was snatched back, his head was not recovered.
Generally speaking, resurrection must meet several conditions, one of which is that the body must be larger than two-thirds, that is, most of the body must be retained.
On this point, Duma is satisfied, but what he is not satisfied with is another point, that his soul has no destination. Even if he could be resurrected like Count Aini with most of his head left, without the whole head, there would be nothing he could do even if the Pope came.
Similar to Duma, there were several paladins and knights who were completely killed in this war.
In a sense, this is the first time Xu Lai has experienced separation from relatives and friends in another world, so Tahan's successful resurrection did not make Xu Lai very happy.
The Paladins are not a perfect group. They still look down on the weak, enjoy the support of civilians with peace of mind, and will not give in when their own interests are violated.
For example, for the resurrection quota, several knights under Count Aini, and even a viscount and three barons were killed in battle, but they are not on the resurrection list.
Even a level 5 knight retinue in the temple has a priority far higher than these level 6 knights or even level 7 knights. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, it is undoubtedly not the optimal solution.
They don't care much about the interests of civilians, nor the life and death of civilians, because from the bottom of their hearts they believe that they are knights and are superior to others.
But I have to say that they treat their own people very well. Even Xu Lai, who is half of their own people, does not hide anything.
Therefore, Xu Lai's sense of the temple is very good. At least it is an institution that is humane and willing to exchange of equal value.
The places for the next batch of resurrections have been confirmed, and the archangels have rushed to rest. They have less than eight hours to recover.
In order to increase the success rate of resurrection as much as possible, it is impossible to really wait until the last few hours of 24 hours before resurrecting.
Xu Lai, at Walker's invitation, met Pierce and went to the fortress to participate in this military meeting.
There is no way, the Temple Knights are about to retreat, and Kate and his Elf Legion are also about to leave. If Xu doesn't come to this last military meeting, a lot of important information will be missed.
The losses of Kate's level 7 polar marksmen were not great. Only a dozen of them were killed in total, and they were all recruited. In total, they were only tens of thousands of gold coins.
However, the dragon army he brought suffered heavy losses under the siege of the golden eagles. Two golden dragons and more than thirty green dragons were killed.
It takes time to activate the magic circle, and there are too many golden eagles. During the interval between the dragons' breathing, they swarmed up and could scratch several dragons to death in one encounter.
Compared to the orcs, the loss of the elves was really nothing. Kate did not worry about compensation or anything, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Kate has said it to this extent. Of course it is difficult to stop Earl Ani. Although the orc attack has not been completely repelled, after all, most of the former army in the stronghold has been wiped out, and the advancing base camp has also been destroyed. destroy.
The orcs do not have a large supply base on the grassland, so they obviously cannot accumulate a large number of troops.
What's more, after destroying the base camp this time, the human coalition also seized a large amount of food from the orcs.
Although the food output in the other world is extremely large, the consumption is not small. The most important thing is that the rear area of the orcs is a barbaric land, which is not rich in food.
Therefore, everyone, including Archbishop Duer, Holy Light Knight Pierce, and others, believe that the orcs' attack has been blocked, and at least in the next few months, there should be no more large-scale wars.
If they can find a way to provoke a war between the stronghold and the fortress, then in recent years, the orcs may not be able to cause trouble to the human race.
In a few years, perhaps the human coalition has defeated the joint attack of demons, undead and dungeons.
However, when these words were said, Duer and other senior executives had no smiles on their faces.
In short, Aini agreed to Kate's departure. Duer and the others did not need to ask for Aini's consent if they wanted to leave.
But before leaving, Count Aini took several high-end treasures and two hundred thousand gold coins from his private warehouse and gave them to Kate as a thank you gift.
Of course, he is not at a loss. After repelling the orcs, his grassland may be the safest place for the entire human race in the future.
Besides, he also captured a lot of supplies in the orc base camp. With the amount Xu Lai carried, what he got was really very little.
Kate did not refuse. He led all high-level soldiers this time and lost nearly a hundred. This compensation is really not enough.
Kate and the temple were about to leave, and Soros naturally refused to stay, so after a few people agreed to finish, he also said goodbye.
In contrast, Thoros's Archmage Group suffered no losses, and there was definitely no gold coin compensation. Aini gave him a high-level treasure and two precious magic equipment.
What was a good celebration party suddenly turned into a farewell party, and Count Ani suddenly became sad.
At this time, Archbishop Duer suddenly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, you and all the nobles have the responsibility to defend the territory and protect the territory, and also have the right to distribute the spoils afterwards.
But the heroes who went to war this time, they In theory, they don't even have imperial household registration, but they follow the war mobilization order without hesitation.
I think you should praise them to encourage those who come after them.
, we should also try our best to compensate them, especially those with outstanding military exploits."
It is self-evident who Duer is referring to. Xu Lai originally thought that Aini would still find excuses to refuse, or something like this. As before, just give some rewards to send Duer and the others away.
However, what Xu Lai didn't expect was that this time Count Aini became extra generous. (End of this chapter)
