The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

The first combat mission assigned by Xu Lai to Su Ya was the caveman at the back of this small forest. The flower elves in the forest should wait a little longer.

Xu Lai and Flower Elf have a friendly relationship. The other party is basically unguarded against Xu Lai, which means Xu Lai and Su Ya are allowed to get close.

However, whether diplomacy can be triggered requires real contact. However, once contact is made, it will either be a battle or diplomacy will succeed.

Xu Lai's diplomacy has not been successful many times, only twice in total, but he has gained some experience.

Diplomacy is essentially a probabilistic skill. Having basic diplomacy means you have a basic 20% probability of successful diplomacy.

However, this basis is based on a neutral relationship and the other party is weaker than you.

If the relationship is friendly, the probability of success must be more than 20%. Xu Lai still doesn't know whether the gap in military strength will affect the probability. Anyway, while being stronger than the opponent, Xu Lai hopes to be stronger as possible.

In addition to this elf, on the way south, Xu Lai also encountered a place guarded by his own archers.

Along the way, the wild monsters Xu Lai left behind were basically high-speed or long-range and difficult to deal with. He also hoped to be able to deal with this group of shooters through diplomacy.

Therefore, he needs to continuously accumulate his military strength, but of course he cannot go too far, otherwise food supply will be a problem.

Xu Lai now has a total of 33 farmers including the militiamen, but 4 of the 6 militiamen will soon be promoted to trainee infantrymen, and the two new ones will also be promoted if they gain enough experience.

Four of the farmers immediately changed their jobs to become militia shooters, which means that there are only 25 farmers available in total.

Among them, 12 farmers have built farmhouses and started farming. Even without bone meal, they can harvest 230 units of food at a time.

With the water wheel and Suya's acceleration ability, farmers can basically harvest once a day, excluding the rest time.

Theoretically, excluding additional harvests such as fishing, the total population Xu Lai recruited could not exceed 230 people.

After assigning tasks and troops to Su Ya, it does not mean that Xu Lai can stay out of the matter.

There are two places that he can only deal with at the moment. One is the harpy guarding the forest, and the other is Medusa guarding the quarry.

Medusa's side is still too dangerous, Xu Lai hopes to accumulate more long-range troops before challenging it.

The quarry is not a building that must be occupied for the time being. As for the harpies, these things can fly and their speed is pretty good. They are not as good as real eagles. After all, the body of half a human is too heavy.

It wasn't too difficult to deal with this thing. After Xu Lai controlled the troops to reach 200 meters, the limit attack range of the long archer, he ordered the witch to come forward and cast a spell.

After a slowdown covered most of the harpies, the wizard immediately returned, and the sharpshooters and flame archers who had been prepared took the lead in shooting arrows.

The harpy is lower than the evil eye, and its growth rate is not very strong. The adult harpy is a level 2 dungeon creature. After promotion, it becomes a level 3 harpy witch, and will have the ability to cast low-level spells.

The group of harpies in front of Xu Lai included seven or eight harpies, which was considered a difficult part to deal with in this battle.

The main reason is that Xu Lai still doesn't know what kind of spells the harpy knows. Anyway, the spells of this level 3 monster are unlikely to cause much harm.

But Xu Lai still gave separate orders to his two sharpshooters and flame shooters, asking them to give priority to finding the witches mixed with the harpies.

It is not difficult to find them. This group of harpies lives in trees, and huge nests have been built on the trees.

The largest one must be filled with harpies.

In addition, the ordinary harpy's upper body looks like a woman, with black hair, exposed chest, and ugly appearance. The lower body has sharp claws and huge eagle wings.

The harpy witch is much more conspicuous. Her hair is gray and her chest is finally covered by some linen. Although she still looks fierce, she is still a bit prettier than the banshee.

Of course, intuitive beauty and ugliness have no meaning at all to these so-called monsters. They only need to obey Xu Lai's order and aim their arrows at the gray-haired ones among the banshees.

After being hit by sluggishness, the banshee's already slow flying speed became much slower, and its wings became significantly heavier, making the harpy witch stand out.

Witches are faster and don't live in groups, so most of them are not covered by the slowness.

As a result, they were quickly found by the sharpshooters, and two arrows more than one meter long flew out in succession. The muzzle speed was extremely alarming, and the landing points were almost identical.

Two witches suddenly fell from the sky. One of the two witches was hit by two arrows in the chest, and the other was even worse, shot in the head. They both died on the spot.

The attack power of the marksman is already terrifying, but with the help of intermediate archery, the power is even more astonishing.

With such an astonishing power, it was really not worth making a fuss about killing a mere third-level harpy witch in two consecutive attacks just to be on the safe side.

However, what was more shocking than them was the flame archer, who had begun to enchant his arrows as early as the witch was casting spells.

By the time the harpies began to go berserk and flew to the optimal shooting range of 150 meters, the flame archer had already enchanted three flame arrows.

The flame arrows of the Flame Archer were different from what Xu Lai had imagined. Xu Lai originally thought they were the kind of arrows on TV that ignite fire.

But he didn't expect that the flame archer's flame arrow was an arrow whose whole body was burning with intense flames.

This thing cannot be prepared in advance, because even specially treated flame arrows cannot last too long. If it takes more than ten minutes, the arrow body will be burned and lose its effectiveness.

But the power is indeed amazing. After an arrow hits a harpy witch, the flames quickly jump out and directly ignite most of the witch's body.

However, the burning damage is negligible. With the physical and fire damage, the witch died on the spot as early as when she was hit by the arrow, and only the witch's body was burned later.

Compared with these three level 5 archers, the long archers who had always been Xu Lai's ace were somewhat inferior, but their targets were the banshees who were not slowed down.

Banshees are only level 2 creatures. Even if they don't die on the spot when hit by an arrow, most of them will be seriously injured and dying.

The worst performers are the Rangers, whose arrows have the lowest power. Now, fixed-point shooting is fine, and the hit rate can be guaranteed. Even on flying targets, it can reach more than 80%.

However, Xu Lai knew that once these guys started running, their hit rate would plummet. Even when shooting at fixed targets, they could only maintain a hit rate of about 70%. When shooting at flying targets in the sky, it would probably be lower than 60%.

Their task is to hit them last. The banshees hit by the long archers are basically killed instantly with one arrow. However, sometimes the long archers can only hit their wings, and the damage seems to be much less, and they cannot be fatal with one hit.

This kind of target is usually left to the rangers for finishing blows. Their running speed on the ground is no less than that of the harpies in the sky, so they have an additional task of attracting some enemies.
