Long'an City was originally a base camp-level city on the border of the Western Empire.
The owner of Long'an City is Marquis Michel, one of the top three in the Western Empire Noble Alliance.
Marquis Michel is an expert archer, and he himself was once a famous superhero in the Western Empire.
The most glorious time was also the stage when the Western Empire was just established. The noble alliance joined forces to clear out the nobles in the Western Empire who supported the empire.
At that time, the Michelle family owned a total of thirteen cities, three of which were castle-level cities, and the remaining ten were all base camp-level cities.
The key is that the Michelle family has a monopoly on the entire border trade, so they deliberately occupy Long'an City and Wasteland City that border the grasslands.
In addition to these two cities, the Michel family also occupies several cities connected to the Northern Empire.
The cities adjacent to the Southern Empire were too far away for Michelle to control, so they were handed over to another large family.
Fortunately, the Hell Formation has taken a fancy to the land in the center of the Western Empire, especially the part adjacent to the Imperial Capital and the Southern Empire.
Although several castles of the Michel family were snatched away by the hell camp, their family was still able to keep a few cities.
Unfortunately, Michel and several of his heirs are the key targets of Hell, and they have all been killed by the Hell Legion.
As for the rest of the family, after losing their talents and most of their troops, the remaining Long'an City and Wasteland City were snatched away by the heroes from the sky.
Like Aini, the nobles of the Western Empire are not friendly towards heroes descended from the sky.
As the top three families in the Western Empire, the Michelle family deliberately suppressed and exploited many heroes who fell from the sky.
Originally, this was not a big deal. Under their suppression, the descending heroes of the Western Empire either became cannon fodder or surrendered to hell.
But the Michelle family has collapsed, and the few remaining family members still dislike each other and compete for property every day.
In this case, several heroes from the sky discussed and directly gathered more people to merge into one place, and they actually captured these two cities.
Not only did they win, these heroes from heaven, like Xu Lai, regarded these two cities as their own foundation and worked hard to manage them.
They divided their labors and worked together to clean up all the resources near the border, including the wild monsters.
Not only in their own territory, because the nobles from several cities near the grassland and border were all recruited by Aini.
It can be said that the area near the grassland has long become the back garden of these heroes descended from the sky.
Sometimes, they even venture into the territory of hell just to obtain more resources.
Just because Hell has no time to care about them now, it really lets them grow up secretly.
Not only have the two cities been promoted to the castle level, not only the city walls have been strengthened, but also several arrow towers and more than a dozen catapults have been built.
Unfortunately, they judged that the demons in hell were more threatening, so their limited resources were built on the other side.
Facing the direction of the grassland troops, there were only two arrow towers and two catapults, which almost meant that there was no threat.
Xu Lai has a talent for speed, but most of the soldiers in his legion are low-level soldiers.
It's not that he can't lead the cavalry first, but the legion commander cannot leave the legion too far, otherwise the legion will automatically disband.
If Xu Lai is in the legion and forms other heroes, they can lead the vanguard away from the legion.
Of course, you can't go too far away. It's impossible to say that you can still get the protection of the Legion even though you are hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.
Xu Lai could not stay too far away from the legion, nor could he lead low-level troops to march quickly.
Therefore, their team was closely monitored before approaching Long'an City.
After knowing that the visitor was Xu Lai, the other party actually tried to come over to communicate with Xu Lai, and even wanted to gain some benefits from Xu Lai.
It has been more than a month since Xu Lai founded the country, but unfortunately, these people from Long'an City and Wasteland City were not included in the invitation.
It’s also very simple. People here will go to the grassland to enjoy the autumn breeze when they have nothing to do.
Normally, it would be easy to say that it had nothing to do with Xu Lai, but before the orcs invaded, all the cities and nobles in the entire grassland had surrendered to Xu Lai.
To say that we could let go of the past, but to come here to fight against the autumn wind after Xu Lai founded the country is to provoke the entire Eagle Kingdom.
Xu Lai was worried that he had no place to train his troops. Didn't they just hit the muzzle of the gun? How could Xu Lai let them go.
Of course, even though I was not invited, my neighbors next door all founded a country, and they were the first to do so as an Advent Hero.
It is naturally impossible for the masters of these two cities who have formed an alliance not to pay attention or not care.
It just so happened that many of the heroes who Xu Lai refused or even drove away defected here.
At that time, Xu Lai only had one Qingfeng City, and the Qingfeng City at that time was not very powerful.
In addition, they saw that Xu Lai was leading some low-level troops. No matter how large the number of such troops, their combat effectiveness was relatively low.
Although the cavalry looks cool, who would be a good person to use cavalry to attack a city?
Out of these two considerations, the current owner of Long'an City, Jiang Jian, the president of the Long'an Guild.
He actually led hundreds of rangers under his command to block Xu Lai's path so carelessly.
"Brother, I heard that you founded the country some time ago?"
Xu Lai looked behind him. Tens of thousands of cavalry, tens of thousands of infantry, plus logistical support, there were one hundred thousand people. .
Even though it is located in a vast grassland, with so many troops spread out, it still looks mighty, like a torrent.
Compared with them, Jiang Jian’s dozens of cavalry guards and less than 500 ranger troops were worse than a mantis blocking a car.
Xu Lai didn't know who gave them the confidence, so he simply chatted with the other party.
“I was lucky enough to get a drawing of the Congress.”
The other person’s eyes lit up, and it was not difficult to find out the nature of the Congress.
As an ambitious and ideal person who also obtained a castle-level city by chance, Jiang Jian had already inquired about the nature of the Congress.
Not to mention anything else, the daily income of 5,000-20,000 gold coins is enough to make people greedy.
Of course, the other party didn't know how difficult it was to achieve a daily income of 20,000 gold coins.
Xu Lai has nearly a hundred cities, a large territory, a very strong army, and even a statue of the God of War. Except for a smaller population, it is almost as good as any other big country.
But even so, Congress can only provide more than 10,000 yuan in revenue every day.
"How did you get it and what method you used? Tell me.
Don't worry, I know the rules. You just need to introduce your experience. How about I give you 50,000 gold coins? Like? ”
50,000 gold coins definitely cannot buy Congress, but just to introduce the experience of obtaining blueprints, 50,000 gold coins Jiang Jian believes is already an extremely conscientious price.
Xu Lai was stunned and quietly asked Yu Lan beside him: "Does this guy not know what we are going to do?"
Yu Lan covered her mouth and smiled. : "What's so strange about this? Lang Jun, you haven't declared war on us. Although this guy has been letting people sneak into our territory all year round, he only shoots quietly after all, and has never seriously conflicted with us.
The ones you brought out are all new recruits. The other party may have thought that you found a good place to practice, so they followed us. ”
Giselle on the side heard this and said angrily:
"Okay, if we really find a good place for leveling, this guy is following us, probably because he wants to secretly occupy the good place we found.
Xu Lai, just say something. No matter how fast they run, I can still shoot two or three times and keep them all."
Xu Lai shook his head and said, "Then. Both of them are the leaders of Long'an City.
If I kill them now, maybe when the army arrives, the remaining people may just flee. Then I will train my troops. "
Having said that, Xu Lai was not willing to waste time with these people, and it was even less possible for him to tell them how he obtained the parliamentary drawings.
Xu Lai didn’t know if there were any drawings of the temple, but once he leaked it, the Southern Empire, the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire would definitely target the temple.
It would be of no benefit to Xu Lai if the temple produced another parliamentary drawing.
Xu Lai waved his hand, and a hail of arrows fell in front of Jiang Jian and the others.
With the strength of the phantom shooter, it is of course impossible for the shot to miss. The failure to hit Jiang Jian and the others was purely because Xu Lai prevented him from hitting.
Xu Lai's meaning was already very clear, but Jiang Jian seemed surprised and asked with a confused look:
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Xu Lai waved his hand and said : "Who is your brother? Do you know that what you are standing on is the grassland, the land of the Eagle Kingdom?
I heard that at the beginning of every month, you will bring troops to search for wild monsters. And the treasure chest.
I will give you a chance now. If you take out 10,000 experience books and 500 treasure chests, I can forget everything.
If I can't get it out, I'll have to go to your house to get it myself. "
"You, surnamed Xu, have you gone too far to deceive others? "
Xu Lai sneered and said: "When you rob other people's cities and resources, why don't you think it's too much to bully others? "
Seeing that the other party was still beeping, Xu Lai said again: "If you don't run away now, I will lose my sword and my eyesight." ”
Although the soldiers Xu Lai brought are new soldiers, even if they have 50,000 Zhu, their combat effectiveness is not low.
What's more, Xu Lai's own headquarters has tens of thousands of cavalry.
After being upgraded to a warrior, Tahan has not yet made a move, and is already eager to charge.
Jiang Jian gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Lai. He was indeed guessed correctly by Xu Lai. He did not realize that the army Xu Lai had assembled was to deal with him.
He just subconsciously wanted to get some benefits from Xu Lai here. After all, we are all fellow villagers.
As the saying goes, if a fellow countryman cheats a fellow countryman, he will shoot him in the back.
"Hmph, don't be complacent. Don't think that you can be so powerful with tens of thousands of troops. It's just a bunch of rabble."
After that, Xu Lai didn't give Xu Lai a chance to talk back, and just ran away with his troops. .
Xu Lai is not a master who is willing to suffer losses, so he motioned to Giselle and the others for another rain of arrows.
The rain of arrows fell right next to Jiang Jian and the others, a few tenths of a meter away. They were so frightened that they slapped the horses' bellies desperately.
Xu Lai originally thought that after being so frightened by him, Jiang Jian and the others should defend the city honestly no matter what.
Unexpectedly, after two days of marching, when the large army arrived at Long'an City, the other party led the army to form a formation outside the city.
When he first arrived, Xu Lai was shocked. He really couldn't figure out where these guys got their confidence.
The troops on the opposite side are not many, only 3,000, but they are all cavalry, and the ones at the front don't look simple.
Xu Lai's eyesight is pretty good. Even without the eagle eye technique, he can still see clearly clearly.
The hundred knights in the front row are all heavily armored knights with luxurious equipment.
It is not easy to train a heavy armored knight. It is not easy to upgrade the level of an ordinary knight, and his skills will not improve much due to upgrading.
The key is, generally they are reluctant to buy top equipment for them.
As for recruiting knights, the skill level is good, but the attributes are too fixed and the equipment is blank, so there is no way to stand out.
The opponent had obviously been waiting for a long time, and before Xu could see clearly, he launched a charge.
However, the direction of their charge was not on Xu Lai's side, but on the formation formed by the Qingfeng Legion.
With Xu Lai's knightly style, tens of thousands of knights lined up on both wings of the Qingfeng Legion in order to cover the two wings and prevent enemies on the sides from disturbing them.
Xu Lai deliberately left the front face in order to maximize combat opportunities for the recruits of the Qingfeng Legion.
In the formation of Qingfeng Legion, Giselle quickly contacted Xu Lai and asked:
"Xu Lai, do we want to shoot?"
Main combat tasks , are all given to the new recruits. The task Xu Lai gave to Giselle and the others was to sweep away the long-range units on the top of the city.
However, before the city wall got closer, the rebels actually took the lead in launching a charge.
To be honest, Xu Lai was indeed unexpected.
The new soldiers he brought were not soldiers. They were on the battlefield for the first time. Before, they were just soldiers recruited by farmers.
No matter how high the morale of these guys is, they cannot be relied upon.
If someone were to overwhelm him from the front, there might even be a swarm of swarms fleeing, causing Xu Lai to fall short.
"Shoot, aim at the heroes in front who are wearing luxurious equipment. Shoot them all to death first."
There is no room for Xu Lai to hesitate. The knight's charging speed is too fast. Every second is delayed. There may be one less chance of shooting, so give the order immediately and decisively.
Now we would rather let the enemy collapse and lose a little experience than let our own army collapse.
The number of phantom shooters is not large. Of the more than a thousand phantom troops, more than 600 have been promoted to level 7 or level 8.
There are only more than 800 phantom shooters left, including the group that Giselle has just trained for more than a month.
But even if there are only more than 800 phantom archers, each person will carry an average of 3 phantom arrows per arrow, and more than 3,000 arrows will fly out.
Xu Lai raised the Prophet's Sword high, and the glory of the Angel Alliance spread to the entire army the moment the enemy launched the attack.
The phantom archer with high morale, after praying and increasing the ultimate archery skills, his power is really amazing.
Especially Xu Lai asked to focus fire on the knights in front. This round of arrows rained down, and at least half of the knights were shot to death directly.
The remaining half were also shot into hedgehogs. Unfortunately, their equipment was too good and their damage was reduced too much, so they were not killed even if they were shot into hedgehogs. (End of chapter)
