In addition to Xu Lai himself, his troops have also been promoted in droves. The one who has been promoted the most is naturally the Naga Guard led by Emilia.
But something happened in Emilia that made people laugh or cry.
Because Xu Lai undertook all the expenses, Emilia did not prepare much at all.
This large-scale advancement includes all levels except the Naga Sword Master who has reached the full level.
Eight-armed naga can be promoted to any one, and the gold coins will be tens of thousands, and she also needs to bring some rare resources with her.
As for gold coins, loot alone is definitely not enough. Fortunately, Emilia still has her own small reserves, pocket money and so on.
It’s just this little pocket money, even if you add the tens of thousands of gold coins from the loot, it’s not enough for many people to advance
The advancement of the strength of the deep sea tribe is all their own business. , no commander would pay for the upgrade out of his own pocket.
However, Xu Lai did this, and Emilia also felt that after improving her strength, she would be better able to deal with the subsequent crisis.
So Emilia went to Xu Lai directly and asked to borrow 200,000 gold coins.
Emilia searched the Naga Guards in various ways, and estimated that there would only be a gap of 200,000 gold at most.
But Xu Lai directly gave him 500,000 yuan to save the money. If he wants to advance next time, the little girl will be embarrassed to speak again.
They just asked to borrow. In fact, even if they asked for it, Xu Lai should give it.
It is reasonable to ask others to help and provide some military spending.
Only when you benefit others will they be willing to actively help you when encountering this kind of thing in the future.
Otherwise, he would have to fight every now and then in the past three days, and no matter how good the friendship between the Nagas and him was, it would be exhausted.
After the battle, Xu Lai led the large army to rest for a day.
Elwee, Jian Yuan, Eric and others led a small force to clear out all the demonic cities, strongholds, towns and resource points within a radius of thousands of kilometers.
The golden dragon and black dragon won't last that long, but there are still 3 holy beasts, water unicorns.
Xu Lai wants to make the best use of these three sacred beasts before they disappear naturally.
With these three water unicorns taking the lead, there is also a large group of seraphs watching from behind, and dozens of archangels acting as thugs.
Even without Xu Lai's blessing, there was almost no decent resistance.
After Mendis was defeated, he did not dare to go back directly to Kerrigan.
In the past two days, Kerrigan has also used real fire, sending a large number of slaves and low-level demons to consume human strength.
However, it is not known how long this consumption will last.
As a last resort, he could only dispatch a large number of troops to surround Lion Heart City, and first cut off Lion Heart City's teleportation function.
This requires a large amount of troops, especially since Lionheart City is so huge that slaves and low-level demons simply cannot support it.
Kerrigan can only send mid-level troops to the stage, but these mid-level troops cannot be completely used as consumables, and no one can afford to consume them.
Especially when the opponent is a human, the treatment and recovery of the priest increase the endurance of the human warrior several times.
It is recognized that among the nine major camps, the most difficult ones are the human and undead troops.
Kerrigan does not have the Gate to Hell and cannot summon cannon fodder from hell for the time being. He can only send a letter to urge Mendis.
After Mendis was defeated, he did not dare to tell Kerrigan the truth, let alone allow Xu Lai to rob Kasai City.
Of course, paper cannot cover the fire, there is a female devil in Kasai City.
However, the Abyss Lord Kerrigan, who was always prone to anger, did not blame Mendis this time.
After learning that Xu Lai led the human troops to march forward triumphantly and conquered several large cities on the Kasai Plain.
Kerrigan was not in a hurry to ask Mendis to come back to join the battle, but just asked him to send people to send back his Hell Gate.
Although Mendis was extremely reluctant to part with the Gate of Hell, he did not dare to disobey Kerrigan's order and had no choice but to send the Gate away.
The latest order Kerrigan gave to Mendis was to prevent the human troops from continuing to advance eastward at all costs.
After crossing the Kasai Plain, there is only an Ashen Valley away from Kerrigan's temporary base camp, Bristone.
Bristone was originally the capital of the Western Empire. After being occupied by Kerrigan, it had already been transformed into a hell city.
Kerrigan not only moved his palace into Bristone, but also opened the second gate to hell in Bristone.
Kerrigan's body in hell opened two hell gates in a row, and his vitality was severely damaged.
It is impossible to open a third one in a short time.
And this short time is only relative to the hell demons. If converted into human time, it would be impossible within a hundred years.
In order to defend Bristone, Kerrigan also specially transformed Ashenvale, making the terrain more rugged and full of lava.
The original Gray Valley was named because of the lack of green plants. At this time, the Gray Valley had already turned into a valley of lava.
But no matter how good the terrain of Ashenvale is, without a superhero sitting there, Kerrigan is really uneasy.
This is also the reason why he was able to suppress his anger and make Mendis guilty and meritorious service.
However, Kerrigan authorized Mendis to command the army in Ashenvale.
But Mendis is not qualified to mobilize the army in Ashenvale, and the army there must be stationed in Ashenvale unshakably.
After suffering a series of defeats, especially after losing all Ferris's fire elves, Mendis kept a low profile.
Not only did Mendis not interfere in all the defenses of Kasai City, but he actively cooperated with them.
Use the castle gate renovated in Kasai City to cast the Gate of Hell spell to actively help evacuate the surrounding demons.
In addition to evacuation, Hell Gate can also summon hell demons.
However, none of them knew Xu Lai's attack time.
It is easy to summon hell demons, but you cannot ignore them.
Demons are not slaves, especially those who are summoned. They don’t even need to pay wages.
General summoners have to contribute sacrifices when summoning creatures from other dimensions to help.
Mendis used the Gate of Hell to forcefully summon him. If he didn't serve him well, he might get angry and start a fight with his own people.
However, demons consume a lot, especially those who eat flesh.
Even if they eat all the slaves in Kasai City, they won't be able to last long.
And demons don’t care about giving birth. They really eat all the slaves. Who will help them breed?
What's more, the summoned demon is not permanent.
Generally speaking, demons summoned through the Gate of Hell will only exist for a maximum of 24 hours.
After this time limit, it is not impossible to allow them to stay in the main world, but at that time, additional mana will be needed to maintain it.
Even with the glorious aura around him, after losing nearly a thousand abyss lords, the maximum summoning limit and maintenance time have been greatly reduced.
Xu Lai was not able to capture Kasai City in one go. Kasai City, as a marquis castle, was built extremely grandly.
After the demon's transformation, Kasai City became easier to defend and harder to attack.
The moat was changed into flowing lava. Anyone who waded through this thing to attack the city would be boiled to death. In addition to the defense on the ground, there are many fire demon towers on the city wall, at least a dozen of them, and each of them has at least 3-4 flame trolls.
The main tower is even more terrifying. There is actually a Balrog sitting inside that was obtained from who knows where.
Originally, as a spell-casting unit, even if it is just a thrown fireball, its range cannot be compared with that of a shooter.
But the Fire Demon Tower has two functions, one is to increase the range, and the other is to increase the power of the fireball.
Even if there is a Fire Demon Tower, Xu Lai is not very afraid. After all, the phantom shooter's range is even more terrifying.
But the opponent still has a city wall, and the city wall plus the Fire Demon Tower. Even if the Fu Tower is not as good as the Phantom Shooter, the Balrog on the main tower can definitely shoot at it.
This Balrog was discovered by the three water unicorns using their last remaining heat.
It is a pity that there are too few three-headed water unicorns.
After smashing thousands of horned demons, a dozen slingers, and more than forty ballistae on the city wall, they were jointly killed by Mendis and the Balrog.
The good news is that Xu Lai doesn't have to worry too much about the opponent's city defense weapons.
Feris possesses ultimate archery, ultimate ballistics, and crossbow expertise, plus the range and power advantages of the city wall.
These more than 40 high-level ballistas are equivalent to at least 400 high-level arms, and they are also long-range high-level arms.
The bad news is that the three water unicorns have used their own lives to verify the defense strength of Kasai City.
With Xu Lai's bonus, the three water unicorns are almost invincible.
Xu Lai originally just wanted to use their last moment to cover the army's attack on the city.
Unexpectedly, before his catapult was assembled, and before the large army joined the battle, the water unicorn had already been destroyed.
There are more than 50 high-end ballistae on the city wall. With the blessing of ultimate archery and ballistics, their power is too powerful.
The water unicorn tried its best, but only destroyed more than 40 of them. The thousands of horned demons responsible for controlling them could only be regarded as an addition.
But although the city wall has been temporarily cleared, Ferris' specialty is still good at making crossbows.
Limited by materials, she may only have made 5 or 60 high-end ballistae, but there are definitely a lot of inferior ordinary ballistae.
After a comprehensive deployment, even if the power of city defense weapons decreases, the decrease will not be too much.
On Xu Lai's side, the main force was cavalry, and their siege ability was not strong.
As for the air force, because all the fire elves were wiped out and the wing demons suffered a lot, our own side has an absolute advantage.
But once the air force is dispatched, unless it is high-altitude reconnaissance, it still cannot avoid the fate of being shot by the opponent's long-range troops.
Secondly, although our own air force has certain advantages, it is relatively weak in terms of quantity.
The opponent is assisted by Mendis, and there are a large number of flying abyss demons and abyss lords.
They don't need air superiority, they just need to be able to hold Elvi and the others down and prevent the angel troops from doing things like opening the city gate.
What's more, if Xu Lai only sends out the air force, it will make Elvi and the others fall into a group fight, which will be more dangerous.
There is no solution to both problems, so Xu Lai will delay first.
Anyway, he has a large number of cavalry troops, roaming freely throughout the Pafix Plains.
Furthermore, after the siege of Kasai City, the castle gate of Kasai City has become useless and can no longer be used to transfer troops between castles.
Xu Lai didn't know that Mendis could also use magic to use the castle gate as the gate to hell.
But this has no impact on the battle situation.
During Xu Lai's attack on the city, the demon could not resist at all.
Ferris also knows that facing a powerful superhero like Xu Lai, no matter how many demons are stationed outside, they can only delay time.
Compared to humans, demons are rare in number.
Therefore, Ferris was not willing to lose her troops in vain. Her strategy was to leave only a small number of demons in each stronghold.
These demons use city defenses to fight back against human troops and consume the strength of human troops.
But unfortunately, Xu came here with the angel army and three super large human shields.
Let alone the water unicorn, Xu Lai's troops will not suffer any casualties.
Even if there is, as long as thousands of people don't die at once, they can all be raised in one night.
Because of this strategy, the number of demon troops in Kasai City is now extremely large, even to the point that it has become a serious burden.
In this case, Ferris only hopes that human troops can come and attack the city immediately, and both sides will consume some troops.
Even if the consumption ratio is ten to one, Ferris is willing.
The problem is that Xu Lai is not willing.
For him, it is only a matter of time before he takes over the Pafix Plains.
In the entire plain, now there is only one lonely city, Kasai City.
With no advantage at all in the siege, Xu Lai had a headache before he used his life to consume.
Arvid finally sent a batch of catapults, but not to mention shooting against other people's catapults, he actually couldn't even shoot past the opponent's ballistae.
If the defender is Xu Lai, if he really wants to compete with the opponent, he will definitely not be willing to use it even if the equipment is superior.
Even, he can even let out of the city wall.
If you can't bear to leave your child, you can't trap the wolf, and you won't give any bait, how can you expect the fish to take the bait?
What's more, after taking the Pafix Plains, Xu Lai was extremely busy all day long.
More than a dozen cities, hundreds of towns, thousands of villages and resource points, and hundreds of resistance armies of various sizes.
It is easy to win these cities, but not so easy to govern.
Although Xu Lai consciously cultivates talents in an echelon manner, he does not have enough time.
Not only is the progress going smoothly here, Reina is escorted by the Coast Guard and has high-level infantry and archer units.
Coupled with the fact that in every battle there is a summoned dragon that is not afraid of death, Rena is also advancing all the way and is invincible.
With so much land, it cannot be left vacant after being acquired.
If you want to resume production, you must first have a sufficient population.
The destruction caused by the devil to the Western Empire was extremely huge, especially the loss of manpower.
This made it extremely difficult for Xu Lai to restore the previous structure.
Many cities, even if they are recovered, can only be left vacant temporarily.
Some villages and towns simply have to be demolished first to concentrate resources as much as possible.
Frustrated, Xu Lai even thought of issuing a mission to the mercenary guild to recruit some advent heroes to resume production.
Not to mention, these advent heroes all dream of having a piece of their own territory. Even if the conditions put forward by Xu Lai are not very good, they are all accepted. (End of chapter)
