As Xu Lai has always relied on, Escape has always been silently in Xu Lai's backpack, playing an extremely important role.
Although this prop has never been used, its existence is Xu Lai's courage.
Without a way to escape, it was impossible for Xu Lai to have the courage to lead his lone army in raids and leveling before the war.
There is no way to escape. Maybe he will not even respond to the war mobilization order. Then he will not only miss a lot of opportunities to upgrade, but will also completely offend Count Aini and the temple.
In the end, he ended up with the same fate as Dong Shuqin. The basic favorability of the imperial camp dropped sharply, and the difficulty of development increased exponentially.
Without a way to escape, Xu Lai did not dare to come to the wilderness.
In less than a month after arriving in the wilderness, Xu Lai killed orcs, one large and one small, two nobles, three heroes, thousands of elite wolf cavalry, and tens of thousands of food warriors of all levels. Human demons and tens of thousands of orcs and orcs.
In the end, he destroyed several villages, destroyed a town, and occupied a city. He also swept away countless towns and cities.
Because of this, Xu Lai obtained more than half of the paladin cavalry team, possessed seraphs that many great nobles could not possess, more than a hundred more war horses of level 5 or above, and a large number of followers.
Not to mention, his current backpack is almost full, most of which are rare resources and gold coins.
Even though the previous major advancement cost 100,000 gold, Xu Lai's current gold coins are more than 200,000, not counting the high-end equipment, gold nuggets that have not been minted into gold coins, and rare resources.
All these gains were not obtained by him from the wilderness, but brought to him by the escape route.
Those who have a way out and those who have no way out have absolutely different choices.
But today, Xu Lai wants to eliminate this escape route, but while eliminating this escape route, he hopes to take more people with him.
Before, he was unwilling to give up his retreat for Harris and others.
But when this retreat had to be used, he couldn't convince himself to ignore the lives of these people.
In short, Xu Lai can sacrifice others for his own benefit, but he still retains part of the bottom line.
"Brothers! Your fathers and brothers, your beloved relatives and friends are all in that city. Let us charge again, pick them up, and leave this barbaric place."
Although the Rangers didn't know why Xu Lai changed his mind, Xu Lai's decision was exactly what they had been waiting for.
Several advanced mercenaries headed by Joseph immediately shouted: "For the lord, for our relatives and friends, brothers, charge!"
I guess they were afraid that Xu Lai would regret it. As soon as Xu Lai finished speaking, these guys rushed out in a hurry.
Xu Lai slapped his head. There was a strong ogre formation on the opposite side. If he really wanted to penetrate it, he couldn't dig through it from the thickest place.
At Xu Lai's signal, Tahan, the heroic knight, picked up the battle flag again and rushed out first.
Tahan, who activated the charge skill, led a group of high-level Holy Light Knights and flew past a group of Rangers.
Then came the paladins and knights led by Xu Lai himself, and finally the heroes led by Yan Feng and the two Pegasus knights Ed, who came to the rear.
Elvi protected the giant eagle transformed by Yu Lan and led a group of royal griffins to fly above Xu Lai and others.
Led by Tahan, nearly two hundred knights splashed countless smoke and dust.
Bypassing the thickest central area of Belage, under Xu Lai's remote control, Tahan led his men into the catapult position on the far right.
The light of the charge came one after another, and the thousands of ogres guarding here were dead everywhere before they could fight back.
Shocking cheers rang out from the top of the city, and the tattered city gates were opened to welcome the influx of knights such as Xu Lai.
Seeing the people's rapid morale boost, Xu Lai felt a trace of unbearability in his heart.
But there is no way, someone has to sacrifice. The only thing he can do is to help those who remain to defend the city, destroy those catapults, so that the good people can survive longer.
Xu Lai, who rushed into the city, actually wanted to destroy the stronghold of Kuba City immediately.
But he could not take away the resources obtained by destroying this city. Instead, he directly took away all the hope of the remaining people.
Both emotions and reasons, Xu Lai could not do such a thing, but he still asked people to dig out the heart of Kuba City's stronghold first.
This city had been transferred to Harris by Xu Lai, and Xu Lai asked Harris to take this stronghold heart with him, and then asked everyone to surround him.
The attribute of Escape Road is that it can immediately teleport the user and the user's own targets within a small range to a random safe location in the own camp.
Xu Lai belongs to the empire, so after using the escape route, he will definitely be able to leave the wilderness.
But Xu Lai is not very clear about how large a range this user can cover within a small area.
He could only estimate the smallest range, because a stronghold hero used the escape route in front of him some time ago. Not only did he escape, he also took away the ogre warriors under his command. .
Xu Lai still had an impression of that general range.
The ogres at that time were relatively scattered. If the escaping hero was the center and the farthest ogre was the edge, at least the radius would be more than 30 meters. Therefore, this 30 meters is the minimum estimate. It is hard to say if it is more.
However, Xu Lai led all cavalry. Even if they were crowded together, the huge bodies of the horses alone took up a lot of space.
While the ogres were mobilized by the charge before Xu Lai, Xu Ran asked them to squeeze together as much as possible. They were young and small, and could even be picked up by the rangers.
Usually, escape routes are used in emergencies, so there is no time to choose carefully at that time.
However, Xu Lai used the escape route as a scroll to return to the city. Of course, he could take back as much as he could.
The only people surrounding Xu Lai were his own troops, especially Yu Lan, Elwe and the others. Xu Lai wished he could hold their hands directly to avoid losing them later.
After all, this is my first time using this thing, and I didn’t even have any reference before.
Beside Elvy and the others were the Paladins and Holy Light Knights, then the Rangers, Harris and other humans, and finally the elves, lizardmen and other allies as well as neutral troops.
Xu Lai didn't bother to care about cavemen or anything like that. In another place, he would have killed these cavemen as experience.
The royal griffon flew above Xu Lai's head. Since the escape route was centered on Xu Lai, the top of his head must also be included.
Even many large werewolves and lizardmen moved out a large siege vehicle used in the city to attack the city because it was not their turn.
This thing is for siege. They have no use for defending the city, so they keep throwing it in the warehouse.
Only the materials in the city are enough, otherwise this thing would have been dismantled and used as materials.
The siege vehicles were piled with people everywhere. No one wanted to stay in this city that was destined to be destroyed.
Finally, there are some old people who cannot compete with others, or disabled people who have been injured by mining, and can only rely on the outermost side symbolically.
Everyone gathered around Xu Lai, not even the people guarding the city. The city gate had been opened early, and a large group of ogres swarmed in.
Xu Lai sighed, knowing that there was no time to continue preparations, so he took out the escape route from his space backpack.
Harris, who was squeezed in the crowd, saw the ogre rushing in, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he smashed the heart of the stronghold in his hand.
The huge city that had been built with countless resources by the orcs began to collapse under this attack. Only buildings that were not built based on the heart of the stronghold could be preserved.
In the cannibal eyes of the orcs, a white light flashed, and a circle of people with Xu Lai as the center dissipated in the white light in front of the orcs.
Through this white light, Harris only had time to take away a fragment from the cracked heart of the stronghold, and then he was taken away from the wilderness by the white light.
What remained in front of the ogres were the still large number of cavemen, giant werewolves and lizard people.
After all, the escape route is a prop for escape. Even if it is stacked layer by layer, it only takes away more than 3,000 people, leaving even more.
Burlage didn't know what the white light was. They were not like heroes, who would come with a prop when they were born.
But as a traditional aristocrat, Borag has not seen teleportation spells before. Their stronghold camp also has teleportation arrays, but the number is not as high as that of humans, and they are only found in a few very large cities. .
However, the teleportation spells that Borag has seen all require a long time to cast, consume a lot of money, and are very easy to be interrupted.
But just now he had released the interrupting spell in time, but he still failed to stop the teleportation.
“Chief, what should we do with these?”
Kuba City was destroyed, and although the resources remained, they were only a quarter of what was needed to build the city.
The most important thing is that countless labor and time were used to build this city.
Not to mention, how long will it take for the ogres to accumulate so many resources in this barren and barren land.
Therefore, all the ogres who saw this scene were angry, especially since this race is famous for its violence.
Borag is also angry, but he has more reason than ordinary ogres.
Reason told him that these were laborers, and they had all surrendered, and should be kept to build the ogres' new home.
But looking at the pairs of blood-red eyes around him, he could not say anything if he wanted to survive.
Due to his poor decision-making, the bloodthirsty tribe was on the verge of destruction. If the group was angered again at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Leave it to you!"
In the end, Burlage could only sigh helplessly and sit back and watch the ogres around him pounce on him like mad dogs.
At this time, Xu Lai and the others also left the wilderness and set foot on the land of the empire again. (End of this chapter)
