However, at this moment, another thing exceeded their expectations. When they thought they could take the stronghold effortlessly and wait for the other party to fall into the trap, they did not expect to be resisted at the beginning of the attack. As the battle time went by, they finally found more than 100,000 defensive forces in this stronghold.

At this moment, they knew that they had been fooled, but the other party used the method of hiding soldiers in the city this time, and they kept holding a glimmer of hope. After their side finally found out their real forces, the war had lasted for a day.

The reason why they chose to persist here was that as the information from the scout showed that although the opponent's army had rushed back, they did not return as the same way, but they had seized their own way of retreat. Once the troops were withdrawn, their side would undoubtedly face the end of being attacked by the opponent.

I thought that with the strength of my side, even if the opponent has more than 100,000 defensive forces, I could capture this place before the opponent's reinforcements came back. Even though the casualties would be greater at that time, as long as I captured this place, I could easily solve the opponent's reinforcements. At least relying on the defensive advantages here, it would be fine to deal with it. After my reinforcements arrived, the final winner of the war would still belong to me.

However, at this moment, under the tenacious defense of the opponent's city defending army, not only did his side not capture the place as scheduled, but the scouts there heard the news that the opponent's reinforcements came. At this moment, the Duke of Antipat of the Salanka Empire was finally panicked.

As one of the barbarian lords with the largest mining areas in Boar Island, Antipat is not as powerful as a Salanta Empire, but he is also a powerful old duke.

An attack that he thought was bound to win would end in such an embarrassing ending. Until the opponent's attack fell one by one, he was a little regretful and did not bring more troops to him, but he also saw clearly the invader leader who was slowly coming from the smoke of gunpowder.

Judging from the appearance alone, the leader of the invader in front of him was an ordinary human man, but from the attitude of the soldiers around him and the eyes he looked at him, Antipat knew that this person was definitely not simple.

"I will introduce myself first. I am Telris of the Khanlok Empire." Looking at the middle-aged barbarian man, Li Ran asked: "You must be the famous Duke Antipat of the Salanka Empire?"

I thought this trip was very secret, but I didn't expect that this person would call out his name in one go. Antipat couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but the next moment he also snorted and said, "That's right! I am Antipat of Salanka. This time I was neglected. I didn't expect that you, a nobleman from the little Khan Locke Empire, would have such troops. What do you want to do, just say it!"

At this time, Li Ran looked around and smiled and said, "About this matter, please go to my stronghold and let's sit down and have a good talk."

Seeing this guy's attitude, Antipat was about to speak, but Li Ran turned around and left. Under the surveillance of a group of paladins behind him, there were opponents' soldiers around him. The duke also knew that resistance was useless, so he had to follow him under the leadership of a general in front.

When he heard Li Ran say this, although he was unwilling to accept it, thinking about his captive identity at this time and the fact that their two teams of nearly one million legions were defeated by the other, even the always arrogant Duke Antipat was not good to say anything.

"Prince Tyres, I believe that at this moment, our two empires have already understood your strength." At this moment, Edith from Greenoh suddenly took over and said, "However, as your captive, I think it is necessary to mention it to you. What Duke Antipat said just now is a bit ugly, but the meaning is similar. Do you really think that if you defeated us, you can gain a foothold here next? You must know that unfortunately, you have angered both of us at the same time."

Although he felt a little uncomfortable with Edith pulling himself up, the Duke of Antipat from the Salanka Empire endured it and turned his attention to Li Ran.

After seeing himself saying this, not only Antipat, the barbaric guy, did not undermine the situation, but even the so-called Prince Telres opposite him fell silent and did not speak for a long time. Edith, who believed that he had figured out Li Ran's psychology, couldn't help but smile in his heart.

In his opinion, although the honorary prince of the Khan Locke Empire is quite good in strategy and military strength, it is just a matter of personal opinion. Compared with the Holy Falcon Alliance, they are only equivalent to one of the weaker empires at most, and compared with their Salanka Empire, he is only a little stronger than his duke.

According to this calculation, this guy would not dare to be enemies with his side or the Holy Falcon League unless he was crazy. The reason why he and Antipat came here at the same time was at most just to negotiate to achieve the vain of wanting to get a share of the pie on Roaring Island.

After figuring this out, the Duke of Edith couldn't help but feel a lot of confidence. Then he looked at Li Ran, and said with a smile that turned against the enemy: "Mr. Telris, now you can just talk about the matter. What are your plans next? I believe that as Antipat and I are in their respective empires, as long as your request is not too excessive, some things can still be discussed, but I advise you to be quick, because if you wait until the army of our country is dispatched, then all this will be too late."

It seemed that after thinking for a long time, Li Ran raised his head. After looking at the two of them separately, he also smiled and said, "I believe the two adults also know that the real estate of the Khan Locke Empire where I am is poor and scarce. This time I came here to take a chance to get some resources here."
