Xu Lai did his best and obeyed fate.
After reminding them, what fate they will have has nothing to do with him. At least he doesn't feel much guilt.
After swooping down, even Xu Lai and the others, who were a hundred meters away, were blinded by the smoke and dust. If it weren't for the knights in the front row being of higher rank and carrying heavy loads, they would probably have lost their lives even with their mounts. To be overthrown.
This is because the griffins did not regard them as targets at all, and only attacked the people brought by the conference leader. Xu Lai and the others were not even in the peripheral position, let alone the core area.
But fortunately Xu Lai and the others did not get too close, otherwise the griffons would have been affected if they were not given room to adjust.
They are not afraid of being affected. Xu Lai and the others are not fragile. They are most afraid that the two sides will become a fighting state. The so-called basic goodwill will not work. There is no precedent for diplomacy to be used in battle.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, what appeared in front of Xu Lai was only a wail.
A few slow-running heroes, with their generals, were wailing and groaning on the ground.
They have the best equipment, life and level bonuses. Although their physical fitness may not be as good as recruiting soldiers, after all, they are protected by loyal generals.
Xu Lai saw several generals lying directly on their master's body. The shields in their hands had long been shattered, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The most serious casualties were among the group of shield infantry. Their shields were completely used to defend Xu Lai on the opposite side, and they did not notice the damage coming from above their heads.
On the other hand, the president, after being reminded by Xu Lai, ran very fast, but was knocked over and flew out, falling to pieces.
This wave of damage from the Royal Griffins was absolutely astonishing. Except for a small number of heavy infantrymen in the front row who survived, at least 2,300 low-level infantrymen hiding behind the infantry died.
Together with the affected archers and cavalry, this wave of swarms swooped down, killing at least 400+ units, and all the others were injured.
Coupled with the archers killed by the griffins, the morale of this barely scraped army fell to the bottom almost instantly.
This was originally a temporary army. Even if they were all from the same camp and race, their morale did not improve so quickly.
In this way, the soldiers whose morale collapsed began to flee without the help of heroes.
Don’t grab ownership of the fleeing army. They will automatically be classified as wild monsters.
If the original owner can gather them together as quickly as possible, there is a high probability that they can return to the fighting order. Over time, they will basically be completely separated, and they will become the most familiar strangers to each other.
Speaking of which, these wild monsters are quite moral. They will not chase others if they run away. Perhaps it is because they temporarily lost their affiliation after escaping, and both parties are wild monsters.
If one person runs, others will follow him, especially those heroes who are still able to move, and they will not dare to stay at all.
The griffons don't chase those who escape. They are still in a state of hostility with the griffons.
The union is like a piece of loose sand. When it encounters a slight difficulty, it breaks into sand. All the main players have fled. It is even less likely that the president and others will stay here to die.
They didn't even dare to say harsh words, and pushed several heroes with injured legs and feet to the ground, leaving these heroes and their soldiers behind to prevent the griffins from coming to hunt them down.
Even Xu Lai couldn't bear to watch this scene. He didn't care how many soldiers he recruited died. If someone really died, he would still feel a little uneasy.
Quickly stepping forward, the wild monster that was still exploding suddenly became quiet.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for wild monsters in a combat state to calm down before they are out of combat.
Probably because Xu Lai's military power was far superior to his own in the eyes of these wild monsters, so he was able to calm down quickly.
Xu Lai hung the forbidden magic ball and stopped using spells. However, he had to learn from the lessons of the previous group, so he still sent troops to surround these griffins.
If a normal person finds himself surrounded, it must be 100% malicious, and he may have to wait for others to act aggressively.
"A large group of fighting griffins admire you and are willing to join your army.
But they have asked you for settlement funds, a total of 174,000 gold coins. Do you accept it?"
Pfft. A mouthful of old blood, Xu Lai really wanted to choose not to accept it, and simply took all these royal griffins and fighting griffins in one litter.
One hundred and seventy thousand gold coins. This is still a serious loss for the griffins. There are only more than 160 left. If there were more than 200 originally, it is estimated that at least more than 200,000 gold coins would be needed.
Xu Lai estimated that these people might not even know how much it would cost to recruit these griffins. With more than 200,000 gold coins, even if their diplomacy was successful, they might not be able to afford it.
Xu Lai could afford to spend the money, but once the money was spent, his wealth would shrink a lot, so he was a little reluctant to part with it.
Speaking of which, Xu Lai has actually taken advantage of him a lot. Neither the Wind Knight nor the Archmage confiscated any money.
If he charges the same fee, most of the gold coins he has on him should have been taken out. In the future, when he meets the soldier he likes, the possibility of recruiting him is slim.
So diplomacy still needs to be improved. You cannot give up diplomacy just because the success rate is already very high. Diplomacy should also have a considerable impact on the success rate of free recruitment.
The most important thing is that diplomacy is very helpful in supplementing military strength.
Recall that before, he took a cavalry unit of less than a hundred people to the wilderness almost alone, and went through countless battles before he had a high-level cavalry unit of about a hundred people.
But diplomacy allowed him to obtain 120 level 7 cavalry without even spending a penny.
In any case, even if you recruit so many griffins from the Griffin Fortress, it will cost almost half of the money, and those are only the most common griffins of level 4.
Xu Lai regarded it as money to buy experience, gritted his teeth and took out the 170,000 gold coins.
The moment the gold coins were spent, this group of griffins directly joined Xu Lai's sequence, mixed together with his original 13 royal griffons.
Xu Lai took inventory. After acquiring this batch of griffins, the number of royal griffins increased to 25, and the number of combat griffons was 150, for a total of 175 griffins. First there were 120 gale knights, then nearly 180 mages, and now more than 160 griffons, almost doubling Xu Lai's combat effectiveness.
Of course, even if these wild monsters are put together, Xu Lai can still defeat them with his strength.
But with Xu Lai's bonus, these nearly 500 combat units have been improved by more than one star.
After receiving these griffins, Xu Laigang wanted to deal with the griffin trophies to see if he could leave some compensation for himself.
Several abandoned heroes over there knelt on the ground and shouted to Xu Lai:
"You, don't come over, we surrender, don't kill us!"
Xu Laiyi Stunned, he said: "Why should I kill you?"
A few people looked at each other, seemingly stunned.
That’s right, they have no grievances with Xu Lai. Before, it might have been because they wanted to snatch monsters, but now that the monsters are in their hands, there is really no need to kill them.
Several people got up in embarrassment, and one person said nervously: "Well, our soldiers..."
Xu Lai waved his hand generously and said: "Take them away, take them away."
Yes At these words, several people seemed to run away in a hurry, and only one person picked up the general who had disappeared.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Lai called to him again and said: "Hey, your general, is he still alive?"
The man's tears did not stop on the spot, and he burst into tears at that time. lay down.
Xu Lai also fell silent. From the looks of it, he should have died.
In his mind, he instantly recalled the past. At that time, there were only a few shooters around him, but there was such a figure that was firmly in front of him at all times.
"The person is already dead, do you still want to carry it back? Find a place nearby to bury it."
The man shook his head and said: "I want to go back and try, even if it's true She can't be saved, and I can't let her body die in this wilderness."
Xu Hui turned around and pointed, and said: "There is a small town there called Green Forest Town. If you are willing, carry it on your back. Go there and wait with your people.
If someone stops you there, just tell me my name, my name is Xu Lai, and they will let you in.
If you wait there until 12 o'clock tonight, there may be a chance for a miracle to happen. "
The man looked at Xu Lai with surprise. Suddenly, he knelt down again with a plop.
Xu Lai quickly stepped aside and said: "Don't be like this, I didn't say that I Can save her. "
The man did not explain. After kowtowing three times, he got up and carried the person away.
After running a few steps, the man ran back again and said to Xu Lai:
“I don’t know if you know that about seven or eight kilometers from here to the northwest corner, there is a building there. The Griffon Treasure House.
The treasure house is the private property of the Grand Duke of Rotania. Even though the Grand Duke of Rotania was recruited, he still stationed a group of griffins there.
Our guild got it. I heard this news, so I tried every means to gain diplomacy with some griffons."
Xu Lai asked doubtfully: "How many resources can a griffin treasure house produce? Even if it is tripled, it is not worth offending you. Grand Duke of Rotania, your guild is developing on someone else’s territory.”
The man said: "Of course an ordinary treasure house is not worth it, but that treasure house has been cultivated by the Grand Duke of Rotania into a large treasure house.
If the Grand Duke of Rotania had not asked the prophet, he would have learned that There will be a three-star moon this year, and the treasure house has been opened by the Grand Duke of Rotania.
The harvest of three times the large griffon treasure house, please believe me, this is worth the risk for any guild.
Moreover, we only need to send griffins to lure away the guarding griffins, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the treasure house.
The treasure house is a one-time outdoor building and cannot be occupied. As long as he is not recognized by the guarding generals, the Grand Duke of Rotania has no way of knowing who opened his treasure house
Even if Rotania went to find a prophet for divination, our guild would have already left Rotania city by then. "
Xu Lai nodded and said: "There doesn't seem to be any loopholes, but even so, I still feel that it is not a wise act to offend a duke. "
The man bowed and said: "Sorry, I thought you would also be interested in angels. "
Xu Lai jumped off his horse and shouted: "What did you just say? "
The man said with a confused look: "Huh? Did I just? Oh, I mean, the Griffin Treasure House doesn't produce resources, it produces angels. ”
Xu Lai took three steps and two steps at a time, and came to the man like flying, and said tremblingly: "Where is the quantity?"
The man shook his head and said: "I don't know the quantity, but Generally speaking, treasure houses are divided into four levels.
Gryphon treasure houses have been cultivated to the top level. Even if they are at the first level, there are at least 4. When it comes to the three-star moon, there should be at least 12. ?”
“Hahahahaha!” Xu Lai couldn’t hold it back after all.
"You, didn't you just say..."
"What I just said is that he is just a bad duke. I don't care if he dies!" (End of Chapter)
