Xu Lai did not publicize the news of killing Moriel.
Even the soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion only knew that they were dealing with giant dragons. They had no idea that there was a dragon queen trapped among these giant dragons.
Killing the Dragon Queen was a major event that changed the world situation. This battle alone gave Xu Lai more than 10,000 reputations, which shows how important this underground queen is.
Leina is the top officer of the army, so she has the most experience and the richest experience, but Xu Lai is the leader of the force, and he naturally adds more to the reputation.
Xu Lai only claimed that he had killed a dragon army, but he had two big concerns.
One is if other forces know that he killed the Dragon Queen, will they want a piece of the pie?
The Dragon Queen plunders everywhere every time there is a war, and like Pixiu, she can only go in and out. Even the big-eared monsters in the stronghold have heard about her wealth.
If others knew that Xu Lai, a little-known pawn, had killed the underground queen who ruled the entire underground world, they would all come to trouble him.
Although after killing the Dragon Queen, no one should treat Xu Lai as a nobody anymore.
But it is precisely for this reason that Xu Lai has the second and most worrying worry.
Xu Lai had a son-in-law feud with the Great Demon King Kerrigan. Previously, this cold-blooded Great Demon King could still focus on the land of the Western Empire.
Now, the temple and the noble coalition forces have withdrawn from the Western Empire in an almost complete defeat. If the Pope had not personally come to assist, the temple coalition would have even been completely destroyed in the Western Empire.
Although the Demon Legion needs to rest and recuperate, and the land occupied by the Western Empire still needs to be transformed, after all, the Great Demon King Kerrigan is now in a state of having no opponent.
Xu Lai was an unknown person before. He could ignore it and talk about it later when he is free.
But if Xu Lai has grown to the point where he even killed the underground queen, Xu Lai has reason to doubt whether the half-year period mentioned by the temple is reliable.
Elena had returned from the temple. According to Xu Lai's instructions, she copied almost all the intelligence information in the temple and gave it to Xu Lai.
Also brought with it are dungeon maps from various periods spanning thousands of years.
Of course, the map of the temple is still not complete. Even if it can be pieced together, some maps are thousands of years old, and the recorded topography has also changed a lot.
The obelisk map has the ability to change according to the terrain. This kind of self-drawn map does not have this ability.
But it doesn’t matter. For Xu Lai, the map of the temple is just a supplement, not a necessary factor.
During this week, Jian Yuan has been studying the maps of the underground world collected by Xu Lai, plus checking and filling in the gaps in the temple map, which has filled a large part of the underground world.
The most important thing is that Xu Lai killed Moriel, and Moriel had several detailed maps of his territory in his warehouse.
Morill's map is large and detailed. The key point is that it is divided into several versions. Some are specially designed to draw terrains and landforms, some are specially designed to mark wild buildings, and some are specially designed to mark wild resources.
As the ruler of the underground world, Moriel certainly needs these maps with sufficient details. Otherwise, she doesn’t even know how much territory she owns, and how can she be the queen of the underground.
However, although Moriel's map was clear and detailed enough, it only marked the scope of her own territory and did not draw the unknown areas.
For example, on Moriel's map, only the maze area was drawn, and the land outside the maze was completely covered in fog.
Perhaps, more than 50 years ago, when Moriel imprisoned Rena, she had already reached the edge of the underground world, so she just set up a maze to guard her.
But 50 years later, due to changes in the terrain, a part of the underground world was connected to the former edge, catching Moriel by surprise.
Before coming, Moriel probably never expected that she would overturn her car in such a small place.
This also gave Xu Lai a warning. War shackles are not artifacts after all. Although they are extremely rare, they should not be unique.
If one day, he is so careless and leads only a few troops to be trapped with the yoke of war, the end will probably not be much better.
Not talking about magic, even if Xu Lai and the others are invulnerable, they are not really true gods.
No matter how powerful the artifact is, it is durable. No matter how brave Xu Lai is, his physical strength is not unlimited.
Besieged by endless enemies, no matter how powerful Xu Lai is, there is a high probability that he will be beaten to death.
Of course, the probability of this is not high. In most cases, Xu Lai can still run away if he cannot defeat him.
But just like Moriel, if you think you can go wherever you want by leading the dragon army, you might be tricked one day.
But that’s all a thing for another day. The only thing Xu Lai wants to do now is to compare the maps as soon as possible and dig out the last part of the golden statue of the God of War.
With so many maps to complement each other, Xu Lai still locked himself in the room, forgetting all day and night.
When he came out of seclusion, his eyes were frighteningly red. Su Ya quickly brought a hot towel and wanted to give Xu Lai a hot compress.
However, Xu Lai sniffed his nose and said, "It smells so good. This fragrance is so wafting, I'm afraid it's all over the city."
In order not to misread the map, Xu Lai specially lit incense in the retreat room to calm his mind.
This thing was made by mages for their own meditation. Each stick costs one gold coin, which means it only lasts an hour.
Fortunately, with this thing, at least the goods can match the version, and the effect is really good.
Xu Lai spent a whole day using his brain and was still feeling refreshed.
“As per your instructions, two cartloads of dragon meat were sent to the military camp.
The dragon meat was too hard, so we started cooking it at noon. More than two hours ago, the aroma slowly spread to the city. It is estimated that by the time the pot is cooked, the aroma will reach the villages downstream. "
Xu Lai hasn't eaten for a whole day, and he is really hungry when he smells this fragrance.
"Then let's go to the military camp and have a meal of dragon meat. ”
Taking into account the logistics staff and the family members who came to visit the wounded, Su Ya estimated that there may be many officials who would like to taste dragon meat. This dragon meat feast is estimated to have 3 people. About ten thousand people
For this reason, Acid Rain specially sent all the chefs in the castle to help.
Two large carts of dragon meat were two whole dragons. One giant dragon would weigh at least 4 or 50 tons after bleeding, skinning, removing scales, and then digging out the internal organs.
There are only 30,000 people in the camp. Even if the two giant dragons only have 90 tons of meat, each person can get 3 kilograms.
What's more, Xu Lai just made a casual estimate. No one knows how much meat a giant dragon can take out, and no one weighs it. Anyway, it is at least 4 or 50 tons.
There were only two giant dragons, but the fragrance filled the whole city. Many businessmen were also extremely curious about dragon meat and were asking around how they could get a piece of the pie.
The only one who is dissatisfied is the little holy dragon raised by Xu Lai. This guy will eat all kinds of meat, and the only thing he doesn't eat is dragon meat.
Xu Lai drove to the military camp outside the city with his bicycle frame in great fanfare.
This is the first time that Xu Lai uses the luxurious carriage that Su Ya prepared for Xu Lai.
This is also the first time that it is serious. There are Holy Knights in front and behind, leading the way. There are Holy Light Knights guarding on the left and right, and there are angels in the sky accompanying them.
Six snow-white tall white horses without any mottled colors pulled a luxury carriage across two lanes and walked calmly out of the city.
In the past, Xu Lai never paid attention to ostentation. He believed that money should be spent on meaningful things. I did this today, firstly, to show my strength to the outside world, and secondly, because I was too excited and didn't want to spoil other people's interest.
Su Ya and the others' biggest hobby is Xu Lai. Making him happy and comfortable is what they are most willing to do.
In this world, there is no such thing as dragon meat in the sky or donkey meat on the earth.
But Xu Lai ate dragon meat for the first time today.
How should I put it? The meat is a bit old and hard to chew, but it is very rich in energy.
With Xu Lai's current physique, if he really wanted to eat, his appetite would be much more exaggerated than that of lions, tigers and leopards.
What Xu Lai and the others ate was, of course, not the big stew that the soldiers ate. Instead, the cooks specially brought from the castle cut the meat to one centimeter thick and fried it on both sides until golden.
The aroma is very strong, but not too juicy, but after eating a piece of meat, Xu Lai actually feels a little full.
A whole piece of meat weighs about one or two kilograms. Normally, it is just an appetizer.
The people sitting under Xu Lai were all officers from the military camp. The officials from the city sat at a separate table and did not mix with these people.
Although dragon meat can be eaten today, one can only drink a small amount of wine. Each soldier is given a cup, which is regarded as a celebration for everyone's escape from death.
However, none of the officers in the big tent drank because Xu Lai took the lead in refusing to drink.
The leader Xu Lai refused, and others had no choice but to endure it no matter how greedy they were.
The soldiers can be more arrogant, but Xu Lai controls these leaders very strictly.
“Is it enough to take another day off tomorrow?”
When Elena returned from the Holy City, another great gift she brought was a team of more than a hundred priests.
These are not recruiting priests, nor are they priest apprentices, but formal priests, priests and bishops who can each preside over villages and towns.
When the temple was so short of manpower, it was able to send so many additional priests to Xu Lai, which proved that the crimson bishop did not lie to him and was indeed placing a bet on Xu Lai.
Each of these more than a hundred priests has the ability to treat minor injuries. Priests and bishops are even able to treat serious injuries and regenerate broken limbs.
With Xu Lai's support, most of the lightly and seriously injured soldiers have returned to normal after one day.
"I have already arranged that everyone will rest in the camp for half a day tomorrow morning, light drills will begin in the afternoon, and formal operations will take place the day after tomorrow."
It's not that Xu Lai is unwilling to give the Qingfeng Legion more time, but that time is running out.
Moriel's death will inevitably cause chaos in the underground world.
If he doesn't take this opportunity to rob the underground city and resources, will he come to him for revenge after their chaos is over and stable order is re-established?
Moriel underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. Will other forces in the dungeon underestimate the forces that even killed the Dragon Queen?
If Xu Lai doesn't act at this time, what he will encounter next time may be the underground city coalition forces who can level him with only a catapult.
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Darkhor, you have already been there last time. After the trouble we made last time, Darkhor's military strength should be the weakest.
< br>We will use it as the dividing line. At most, you must return after destroying Darkhor.
If you really think there is an opportunity, wait for a while after returning to restore the Elf City. After I build it quickly, I will go to sweep the dungeon.
Elena should have told you the relevant information. If you are not optimistic, we will fight the big devil Kerrigan in half a year. < br>
Before that, we must accumulate enough strength. It will be too late to destroy without building. "
Leina nodded clearly and said: "Don't worry, even if we bring the logistics troops, our transportation capacity is limited.
I think that within a month, the Qingfeng Legion should be able to come back and participate in the construction. "
Xu Lai smiled and said: "Practice while building. Ed, Silver Wing and the others are all elves. After you build the city, you can leave it to them for subsequent construction.
I want to advance the overall strength of the Qingfeng Legion to another level within this half year. ”
After all, the Qingfeng Legion is mainly composed of new soldiers. After two large-scale battles, the soldiers advanced very quickly.
But even with the recruitment of soldiers, the average level is still hovering around level 4-5.
This advancement speed is already very exaggerated, but Xu Lai still thinks it is not enough.
Half a year later, Xu Lai asked Qingfeng Legion to have a minimum level of 5, an average of level 6, and high-level warriors above level 7 must form a large scale.
Leina licked her lips and said: "I don't have any other questions, just if I can borrow Giselle and her phantom shooter."
Xu glanced at Reina, shook his head and said: "I can't give them all to you. I can only give you those who have not advanced and the 7th level phantom marksmen.
Phantom Sword Master, I have to keep them. Mingyue City. "
After the Qingfeng Legion left, Xu Lai must mobilize the Swordsman Legion led by Dill, otherwise Qingfeng City may not have physical soldiers patrolling for a long time, and some troubles may occur.
At this time, most of the original Swordsmen Legion have been upgraded to Crusaders. Even if Xu Lai takes away half of them, their combat effectiveness will not be reduced much.
At the same time, after gaining countless wealth, Xu Lai once again raised the price of recruiting soldiers in the market.
After the price increase this time, even long-range shooters and crossbowmen are already being sold.
The shooter came here in Xu, but he had the opportunity to be trained as a phantom shooter by Giselle, so Xu Laihao inhumanely raised the price of the shooter by another 20%.
It just so happened that Qingfeng City Auction House, taking advantage of the promotion opportunity of selling large quantities of dragon meat, dragon skin, and dragon scales, was able to attract businessmen from all over the country through the teleportation array in the capital.
As soon as Xu Lai's request was posted, many people would probably think of ways to rush to Qingfeng City with the recruited soldiers.
While Xu Lai and Reina were discussing the march route and various siege matters.
In addition to Xu Lai's main tent, countless soldiers also drank bowl after bowl of dragon meat soup. In addition to dragon meat, the soup contained solidified dragon blood. There were almost no steamed buns and the like that usually go with the broth. .
Today, Xu Lai wants all the soldiers to eat dragon meat as much as they want.
When these new and old soldiers ate dragon meat and dragon blood, the physical constraints were also opened as the energy of the dragon meat dissipated.
Xu Lai's Chinese army tent was open, so he could see a bright golden light rising from the camp from time to time.
Xu Lai, who had already inquired clearly, knew that it was a soldier who had full experience points when the previous battle was settled, but was unable to advance due to physical limitations.
Originally, the current level should be the upper limit for those with low talents, or those with hidden diseases or hidden diseases.
However, this feast of dragon meat changed the fate of these people.
Civilians on the grasslands may not always have enough to eat, not to mention those who come to Qingfeng City to join the army. Most of them have had their homes destroyed, or they were once farmhands, or even slaves.
It is impossible for these people to have hidden injuries on their bodies. Without the help of a priest to repair and condition them, generally level 3 or 4 is their limit. (End of this chapter)
