"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this person?"
After solving the big trouble of the evil statue, Eric dragged one person to Xu Lai.
Xu Lai didn’t recognize this person at all, but looking at his appearance, Eric and the others must have known him.
“Tell me, what’s your name!”
This guy, in order to survive, would even betray his race, so of course he wouldn’t care about his face at this time.
With a plop, even the dignified dragon knight didn't have time to react. The man knelt down in front of Xu Lai.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life. I have no choice but to do so. My whole family is in the hands of the devil. I really have no choice."
The man cried with snot and tears. , although the classic line "There is an 80-year-old mother above and a baby waiting to be fed below" is not mentioned, but the general meaning is similar.
Speaking of which, Xu Lai actually didn’t blame him, and even understood him quite well.
Is it only natural for people to be greedy for life and afraid of death? What's more, at that time, the Western Empire had no hope at all.
Xu Lai can understand but cannot forgive him for surrendering to the devil and seeking a way out.
He himself doesn't have much empathy for the humans in this world. After all, they are not my species.
If he were captured, the enemy would give him a way to survive as long as he surrendered, and he promised that he would make the same choice.
Therefore, unlike Eric and the others, he did not hate the man in front of him.
However, understanding is understanding, and Xu Lai is sitting on the human side, so it is naturally impossible to forgive such a betrayal.
Seeing that Eric and others were extremely excited, Xu Lai waved his hand and said, "I'll leave this person to you.
If you want to kill or scrape, it's up to you. I only have one request. Just keep your head for me, I will be useful.”
Eric and the others were very excited and were about to leave, but they suddenly looked back and said:
“Your Majesty, before this battle is over, There were nearly 300 soldiers in my first camp, and there was a situation of fleeing. What should I do?” , was put under guard.
Xu Lai glanced over, and they all seemed familiar. They should be the people from Brilliant City.
Those people had surrendered to the devil in the first place, and now they were so frightened by the devil that it was not surprising that they ran away.
“Since you have been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the First Deng Camp, it will naturally be handled by you.
But since you asked for my opinion, I can also tell you my thoughts. .
Since ancient times, anyone who has deserted on the battlefield has the right to kill him
But thinking that they were affected by the power of the devil, it was not a completely subjective escape.
Therefore, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.
My opinion is, give each person 50 military sticks, and then drive them out of the camp, so that future generations will never use them. ”
Although Xu Lai asked Eric to handle it on his own, since he gave his opinion, Eric would not listen until his brain was funny.
But such a punishment, Eric felt It was too heavy. Whether it was 50 military sticks or being driven out of the camp, he felt that any one was enough.
Even if he wanted to be severely punished, it would be enough to include these two items, but Xu Lai also added one that his descendants would never use.
If Xu Lai doesn't use it, how can anyone else dare to use it? This not only punishes these 300 people, but also punishes 300 and even 3,000 or 30,000 families in the future.
"Your Majesty, after all, they were bewitched by the devil, and their escape was not voluntary. Can you be lenient?"
So, there are some things that you will never understand unless they happen to you.
Xu Lai has not suffered the same kind of suffering as the people of the Western Empire, so he has an indifferent attitude towards the traitors of the Western Empire.
But the few hundred people who first entered the camp turned their backs on him, which made him particularly angry.
But Xu Lai also has advantages. He is a person who can listen to suggestions.
"The shock of the demon is not fear. I can understand that they are trembling and motionless.
But they turned around and ran away, which only shows that they already have fear in their hearts, but it was just induced by the demon. That's all.
But there is a reason, so 50 military sticks are indispensable.
We have always had clear distinctions between rewards and punishments in running the army. The rewards are never less, and the punishments are also inevitable.
You can decide by yourself whether to retreat or not.
If you think you can still give them a chance, stay, but I require that these people must be at the top of the list next time we charge and climb the city.
Even if you think it is hopeless, just pay some expenses and medical expenses, and drive out of the camp.
As for the children and grandchildren, it is enough to inform the administrative agencies at all levels not to allow their children and grandchildren to serve as officials or officials. There is no need to make it public. ”
Eric saluted respectfully and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance."
Being unable to serve as an official or a official is equivalent to being recorded in a file, and you will never be a civil servant.
Not to mention never getting ahead, the chance is indeed much smaller than others, unless the regime established by Xu Lai is overthrown.
But even though they have less opportunities to stand out, due to the non-disclosure, these people are not without a way to survive.
Whether you are working or farming, at least you can survive. If future generations encounter some opportunities, they may also be able to become rich.
Xu Lai waved his hand feebly and walked towards Emilia.
"Amy, how are you doing here, what are the casualties?"
As a guest soldier, but he was at the forefront, Xu Lai was supposed to come as soon as possible caring.
But both Tahan and the Demon God Statue are more difficult and need to be dealt with first.
Compared with Xu Lai, who looked depressed, Emilia had a smile on her face.
The summons created by Xu Lai withstood most of the hellfire.
The number of monsters squeezed out from this group of monsters is not large, and some of them have to be divided by those who first enter the camp.
Multi-armed Nagas are good at group attacks. With the effort of others to slash one, they can slash three or four times.
They have to bully the few with more, and with the size of Hellfire, there are enough Nagas to surround them and chop them down.
In peacetime, Hellfire, who possesses the crushing fist and the burning flames, is eager to be besieged by the enemy.
Only when facing Naga, a Naga with fire-bending magic, the flames of hellfire can't do much damage.
The smashing punch can only cause damage to the Naga on one side, and cannot take into account the Naga on the left, right and back.
Moreover, in the past, if dozens of knives were slashed at the body, Hellfire's counterattack could hurt at least a dozen people.
But even the four-armed Naga has four weapons. Hellfire's crushing fist can often only damage two or three Nagas.
Coupled with the blessing of the Angel Alliance and god-level offensive skills, even if it is a hard stone, even if there is a gap in level, the damage is still not low.
What's more, under Xu Lai's care, even if Behemoth and the giant in front of him die in battle, Naga's healing skills will not be missing. At most, Hydra is good at group attacks. The ultimate Hydra's treatment priority will be ranked ahead of the Nagas.
“Xu Lai, there’s nothing serious on my side, a dozen four-armed Nagas and three six-armed Nagas were killed in the battle.
That’s right. My fault was that I didn't pay attention and failed to remind them to keep their blood volume in a healthy state.
They all accidentally triggered the lucky blow of Hellfire, and they didn't even have time to heal.
But I have seen it, and on the entire ground battlefield, our unit should have the highest record.
Not counting the hellfires who died from my spells, but those killed by our soldiers, the number definitely exceeded two thousand. "
The more Emilia talked, the more excited she became. She kept talking when she opened her little mouth, which made Xu Lai feel a little better.
After fighting for so long, today It was the least rewarding time.
Not only did they fail to defeat the opponent's main force, but the kills were all based on summons, and they didn't even get much loot.
They were flying around, fighting if they could win, and running away if they couldn't. They didn't even need to bring much supplies, and they weren't preparing for a protracted war anyway.
In this battle, it can only be said that I gained a lot of experience. After all, both the Fire Elves and Hellfire are high-level units, and they are all led by superheroes with level over 40.
Last night, just the three water unicorns killed brought Xu Lai a lot of experience.
But it is a summoned object after all. When it dies, it will not drop anything except giving some experience.
Fortunately, Mendis also dispatched a lot of abyss demons, plus the drops of wing demons and fire elves. After cleaning the battlefield, we could barely harvest some loot.
What the Fire Elves drop are basically fire-based materials and gold coins. What the Abyss Demons and Abyss Lords drop are much more precious, including skill books.
But even with the most optimistic estimate, these trophies are only about a hundred thousand gold.
Elvie led people to hunt them down. The demons will definitely be able to kill some, but they don’t know where they will die, and even if they drop, they will be difficult to find.
This time, Emilia came here just for the experience points, but the loot didn’t matter.
But they do the hardest work, and Xu Lai certainly can’t keep it to himself.
Emilia does not need materials. The Naga tribe located in the deep sea has difficulty even doing forging. All it needs are finished products and gold coins.
So Xu Lai gave all the cash seized, which totaled about 30,000 gold coins, to Emilia.
"More than a dozen, right? Gather their bodies and wait for Elvie to come back...
Forget it, don't wait for Elvie, let's fight this battle The damage may be a bit big, I'm afraid there are not enough places for their resurrection."
Xu Lai ordered everyone to put together all the corpses that can be found on the battlefield.
Seeing that there was not much time left, the first batch of summoned objects had begun to disappear one after another, and Xu Lai simply did not want to wait any longer.
While these summons were still there, Xu Lai opened his spell book, found the level 5 spell in it, and sacrificed it.
Xu Lai chose to sacrifice Hydra, which had the largest number of existing troops.
This thing, because the healing skills were taken care of in a timely manner, and the level and health value are relatively high, all of them have been preserved.
And Xu Lai’s priority was to summon the giant dragon. Now the red dragon and green dragon have not disappeared yet, so it is not Hydra’s turn.
Hydra plus 6 Ultimate Hydras, a total of 43.
They have different health points, with a total of more than 18,000 health points.
Effects such as sacred blood bottles and defense spells are not calculated into spells, only basic life is calculated.
However, Xu Lai's mental attributes have reached as high as 55 points after replacing the Vulcan Hand gloves.
And the sacrifice is regarded as a fire spell and is enhanced by the ultimate fire magic.
The life of each hydra needs to be added with 55 points of spirit and 20 points of ultimate fire magic.
In the end, these more than 40 hydras were able to resurrect units with nearly 22,000 health points in total.
The resurrectable health value is far less than the resurrection spell cast by the Angel Legion, but it consumes much less mana than the angels.
However, these health points are completely enough to resurrect the Naga guards and the soldiers who first entered the camp.
The key is that the sacrifice released by Xu Lai is not limited to once a day.
As long as he has enough casting materials, as well as enough cooldown time and mana, he can cast it as many times as he wants.
Hydra fulfilled its final use value before disappearing.
The remaining ones are Behemoth, Giant and the golden dragon that unfortunately can be used as casting materials.
In addition to the few unlucky ones who were trampled into mud by the Abyss Demon God, the bodies of the remaining victims and corpses of the Knight Legion were all sorted out.
As long as the Angel Legion comes back, we can all pull it together again.
Even if the resurrection is not completed today, you can still continue after 12 o'clock. If it is not enough, the 8th level units such as the golden dragon will last longer.
After the final statistics, with the blessing of resurrection ability, there were no sacrifices on our side, only those few heroic knights died.
But they are recruiting units, and Xu Lai does not need to pay extra pension.
And what Xu Lai and the others gained, even if they did not include those who came out of the gate of hell, was not small in number.
After chasing for dozens of kilometers, Elvi escaped from Xu Lai's protection and had to fly back.
Neither the Abyss Demon nor the Abyss Lord is good at flying and is not very fast.
But this is a supernatural world after all. After Mendis waited for a while, an attack acceleration greatly increased the speed of escape.
In the end, the Angel Legion plus the dragon gained tens of thousands more gains in total.
Mainly thanks to the powerful breathing ability of those giant dragons, I finally had a good time with the mid-level Winged Demon.
But also because a large number of winged demons died in the battle, only more than 500 of these abyss lords, who had gained a lot of water and were truly Mendis's favorite, were beheaded.
Elvi's main strategy is to give priority to killing the fire elves. These guys are more annoying. The key is that only Seraph is not afraid of them.
After giving priority to killing the remaining more than a thousand fire elves, the abyss demons and abyss lords barely managed to kill more than a thousand heads.
At night, the battle report came. The summoned creatures could not be counted as gains, but they had more experience points than other creatures of the same level.
The huge experience finally allowed Xu Lai, who had been silent for a long time, to level up again, to level 44.
This level of improvement can be described as huge.
Of course, it does not refer to the improvement of attribute points. An increase of 1 point in strength is nothing to the current Xu Lai.
The key is his hero field. This level can at least increase his coverage radius by several kilometers. I don’t know how much the coverage area is increased.
In terms of specialization, following the master-level Wisdom Technique, Xu Lai upgraded the Wisdom Technique to the ultimate level, allowing him to directly copy forbidden spell-level spells.
However, Xu Lai still had no idea where to learn this forbidden curse.
In addition to the forbidden spell, the ultimate wisdom spell can also increase the power of all his spells by another 20%. (End of chapter)
