Xu Lai hung up the call and was so angry that he didn't even have the mood to eat the lunch that Tahan and Yan Feng brought in, and ran straight towards the cathedral.
Elwee has been by Xu Lai's side, and of course she heard Su Ya's report.
Although she hasn't figured out why Xu Lai is so angry, she knows her responsibilities and will never let Xu Lai act alone.
Tahan and Yan Feng were confused, and Xu Lai did not allow them to follow, so they had to go and find Lina in a hurry.
The Temple Cathedral is a place where only internal personnel of the Temple are eligible to enter. Xu Lai did not notify him in advance, and brought a large group of subordinates with him. People thought he was here to force the palace.
However, Tahan, Yan Feng and the others cannot go. As one of the knight captains of the temple, Lina is theoretically as much a Holy Light Knight as the Crimson Archbishop, so of course she can pass through unimpeded.
Lina was very anxious when she heard Xu Lai ran towards the temple angrily.
Although she lost her temper that day, it was just an excuse to express the dissatisfaction accumulated in the past few months.
From the bottom of her heart, Lina was the one who least wanted Xu Lai to fall out with the temple.
Although Xu Lai was angry, he did not come to trouble the temple. In fact, the temple was on the Pingfeng Grassland and only retained a few knights and priests. It was impossible for him to have any conflict with Xu Lai.
Therefore, although he was angry in his heart, he could barely suppress his anger and maintain basic etiquette.
Although the pace was fast, he did not run. His face was serious, but he was still polite to the waiters and priests in the temple, and even took the initiative to ask them for help.
Unfortunately, the three crimson bishops stationed at the cathedral are very busy. Currently, only Wright is presiding over the cathedral.
When he learned that Xu had come to ask for a meeting, Wright was very considerate, temporarily put down what he was doing, and invited Xu to come to the conference room to meet him.
Although Lina learned the news a little late, she came galloping all the way on horseback. Not long after Xu Laicai entered the conference room, she actually followed in.
Archbishop Wright happened to be arriving soon, and Xu Lai was not happy to say the same thing twice, so he only gave him a reassuring look.
After waiting for Wright to enter, Xu Lai didn't even bother to close the door of the conference room, and hurriedly said to Wright:
"Archbishop, there is something, I may ask you to help me get out. "
Wright raised his hand and calmed down. Xu Lai's forbidden magic ball has been handed over to the temple for safekeeping. After all, he also took other people's invincible potion, golden body potion and magic immunity potion.
Originally, the temple wanted to hand over the war shackles to Xu Lai as a mutual mortgage, but Xu Lai was not interested in this thing, so he simply didn't want it.
After calming down and concentrating, the anger in Xu Lai's chest dissipated somewhat.
Even the anxiety between his eyebrows has been calmed down a lot.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu Lai.
If you have any questions, our temple will help you. What do you want me to do for you?"
Xu Laishen Taking a breath, he said to Wright:
"My subordinates in the grassland just informed me that my scouts have detected a large force in the stronghold.
They are heading towards my city in the grassland, so I need to rush back immediately to support them."
Xu Lai can actually leave now, but if he leaves, he will offend the temple severely.
So, he could only come to the Crimson Bishop, because no matter how much he looked for Daniel, he could not help him much in advance.
Only by explaining the reason to the Crimson Bishops, Xu Lai could obtain temporary territory as quickly as possible and rush back to join the battle.
The archbishop also frowned and said: "How big is the large force in the stronghold?"
This is where Xu Lai has a headache. If it is just the cavalry troops in the stronghold, that is, the wolf cavalry troops, Xu Lai I don't have much to worry about here.
After letting Yu Lan take the Heart of the Castle back, Xu Lai was watching the construction progress of Qingfeng Castle.
At the beginning, although Qingfeng Castle relied on the Heart of the Castle to upgrade to the base camp city, the base camp failed to be built.
Due to the threat of orcs, Su Ya’s priority was to upgrade the city wall. The limited stone resources were all used to expand and upgrade the city wall.
As a result, the base camp of the entire Three Stars Lianzhu Moon failed to be successfully constructed, which is why Xu Lai left Nofa to collect stones in Aiweike.
The batch of materials Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to bring back, except for rare resources, was not enough for three days.
The small rocky mountain at home has been almost razed to the ground due to Su Ya's increased efforts in collecting.
This is also thanks to the talent of manager Su Ya, which has increased the efficiency of all farmers by 20%. The newly upgraded resource master feature also provides 30% additional resources.
But even so, Su Ya only gathered the materials needed to build the base camp after taking the risk to develop the underground stone field.
However, hurriedly and slowly, after the base camp was completed, it was still past midnight and we entered the Moon of Chasing the Wind.
The effect of the base camp is to recruit creatures in the hero building. The basic growth rate is increased by 50%. If it is built a month early, there will be many additional creatures.
If it could have been more than ten hours earlier, with the size of Qingfeng Castle, there would have been at least several recruitment units smaller than a hundred.
Moreover, in order to build the city wall and base camp as soon as possible, Su Ya gave up new buildings and upgraded old buildings. But no matter what, after all, with thicker and wider city walls, even Gram Town is now completely wrapped in the new Qingfeng City.
In other words, even if Qingfeng City is surrounded by wolf cavalry, even if Su Ya and the others cannot leave the city at all, at least they don't have to worry about starving to death.
The total population of the two towns is not large, and there are less than a thousand households combined. Therefore, Qingfeng City has enough land and a huge inner lake.
Knights pay attention to being able to come and go like the wind, especially the Wolf Cavalry in the stronghold, which is a typical unit that is strong in attack and weak in defense.
If this group of wolf riders captured a city with several times the high-level archers, hundreds of mages and wizards, and a large group of infantry and griffins, it would be impossible even if they were led by high-level heroes.
Xu Lai captured the stronghold base city by mobilizing his defenders. When the opponent had no soldiers, he used seraphs to fly into the city and open the city gate.
Not to mention the thunderbirds, rocs, and self-destructing bats in the stronghold are all animal-type troops and have no ability to open the city gate. Even if they can open the city gate, Xu Lai's main force is long-range and flying troops.
This group of flying soldiers has the strength to withstand the output of long-range troops and the entanglement of flying troops to open the city gate, and they have the ability to capture Qingfeng City on their own.
In this case, whether or not there is a wolf rider is of no use at all.
Therefore, Xu Lai is not worried if there are only Wolf Cavalry. They will block Qingfeng City at most.
But this time, the stronghold camp dispatched large forces.
In addition to the approximately 2,000 elite wolf riders that have been identified, there are also more than a thousand ogre infantry, more than 5,000 orcs, and a flying force of several hundred.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of big-eared monsters in the stronghold, as well as hundreds of Cyclops who drive these big-eared monsters away.
A rough estimate puts this force at nearly 20,000 people.
This is still a force that the investigators can roughly observe. No one knows whether there is more support behind the enemy.
Even if the entire city of Qingfeng City is mobilized, including all the transferred mercenaries, as well as militiamen, cavalry and priests, the combat units will only be one-tenth of the opponent's.
Even if the big-eared monsters have no role and can only be used as rations, the main force of the orcs will be at least 10,000 people.
The key is that there are Cyclops. These guys are naturally good at earth magic. The boulders formed by absorbing earth elements are the same siege attacks as catapults.
“No way, with big-eared monsters and orcs here, this orc army cannot move too fast.
Your city is not close to the Pingfeng Mountains, they How is it possible to march neatly across most of the grassland like you said? "
Not to mention Wright, even Lina, who fully believed in Xu Lai, didn't believe it.
"That's right, neither the priests of Stone Castle nor Conaston Castle reported the news of another large-scale invasion of orcs.
Count Aini has arranged countless villages along Stone Castle. Tens of thousands of infantry and shooters are stationed.
If the orcs only invest this amount of force, they will not be able to penetrate the defense line of Stone Castle and attack Qingfeng City in the rear. ”
Xu Lai narrowed his eyes and said: "This is what I am most worried about. I suspect that Count Aini betrayed me.
Faced with the pressure of the swamp, and I also destroyed the stronghold of the logistics line, it is simply impossible In such a short period of time, another large-scale attack was launched.
In fact, although there are more than 20,000 stronghold troops detected by our department, they are too few for the stronghold camp.
This small number of troops are still infantry with little mobility. Once they penetrate deep into the grassland, there will be only one end. ”
Everyone present, even if they have no military knowledge, has been fighting hell for so long.
The stronghold is deep in the grassland. Even if Count Aini does not fight them head-on, he only needs to cut off their The logistics line will soon starve to death on the grassland.
No matter how great the hatred between the stronghold and Xu Lai is, tens of thousands of elites will not be thrown out just to attack Xu Lai's city.
"Your Excellency Xu Lai, you should know that what you are accusing is your lord, and it is a very serious accusation.
You are accusing your superior noble, which not only violates the basic morals of the nobles, but also betrays
Such a serious accusation, once proven, is qualified to deprive his nobles of all rights and call on all nobles to crusade against them.
Such a accusation. , you must provide evidence, otherwise no one will believe you."
Xu Lai gritted his teeth and said: "I can't provide evidence. I believe that even if I look for it, I will definitely not find it.
I only implore you now to come forward and obtain that temporary territory as soon as possible.
No matter what, I will return to Qingfeng City immediately, even if I cannot return. "
After being silent for a while, Wright said: "Okay, I understand. I will ask people to stop all settlements immediately and transfer the territory to you first before talking about anything else.
In addition, I didn’t have time to drop the priest group. There is also a retired priest group resting there. You can take them back with you and the Sixth Knight Group. "(End of this chapter)
