Chapter 1206: Escape and Escape
As for the flight corps that were given a great responsibility by Li Ran this time, their strength is also very strong. Just from the flight corpses that followed the army, there are more than a thousand dragon clans that can be controlled by the Mochi warriors, including more than 700 archangels, and advanced flight corpses such as Valkyrie, Flowing Cloud Floating Leopard and Black-winged Flying Ape brought from the Sunset Mountains.
In addition to these advanced flying corpses, Li Ran also brought three main elite flying corpses, namely the Baranka Air Cavalry Legion, the Elven Pegasus Cavalry Legion and the Eagle Horse Legion, all of which reached more than 5,000, forming the most basic legion scale.
What's more, in addition to these apparent flying corpses, nearly 30 teammates who went on the expedition this time, including the Khan Locke nobles who followed Li Ran like Viola and Seram, were more or less equipped with many flying corpses in their war space, and they were all mainly powerful dragon clans.
As for the ground fast legion that went to the expedition this time, it was a whole cavalry legion. In addition to some of the war space, the first one was the Nine Thousand Butcher Sword Legion led by Augustus. As for the remaining ones, they mainly come from several major main legions, and the level is also mainly super level or above.
However, among the legion Li Ran went to fight, the most terrifying thing was not these main cavalry legions, but some forbidden creatures brought from the Sunset Mountains, whether it was the bloodthirsty rhinoceros famous for collisions, the Sphink giant wolf that was seen at speed, the mighty Red Flame Male Division, although their number only accounts for a small part of it, I believe no legion hopes to encounter them terrifying.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Li Ran dared to make this decision. Before Duke Nuches's army arrived, he directly left the Lyon stronghold with more than 100,000 troops under the astonishing gaze of everyone.
The vast Salanka Empire was like a green gem under the starry sky, and wandering on this gem like dust. Li Ran was cautious step by step, afraid of attracting others' attention, because he knew that once the Salanka Empire was discovered, what was waiting for him might be a devastating blow.
Judging from the scout's information, the teammates who were traveling with him also understood how correct Li Ran's decision was. The sudden change of Duke Nuches' army was their Lyon stronghold, which shows that his actions had been discovered. Although it is not certain whether the Bald Eagle Legion leaked this secret so far, if one of his side still had the chance to stay there, perhaps he would have come and fled at this time, and what awaited them would definitely be complete destruction.
However, when he avoided Duke Nuches' army in advance, the legion led by Li Ran was not idle. After bypassing several Salanka legions, when he heard that the Duke's army had arrived at the fortress, Li Ran changed from escaping to attack and ordered a logistics legion in the rear.
Although this rash attack undoubtedly exposed his own side's behavior, in the entire battle situation, they completed some of the tasks assigned by Griffiz. Not only did they kill thousands of logistics personnel and a guard regiment of the other side, burned a large amount of food and grass on the other side, but also caused the Nuches Legion to stop the upcoming attack on the fortress. Afterwards, Li Ran immediately changed the route and avoided the distance before the opponent's army attacked.
It has to be said that when the entire army marched based on cavalry, the army led by Li Ran was very fast. Just when the fast army of about 300,000 yuan assigned by Duke Nuches arrived at the place where they attacked the logistics, Li Ran had already fled hundreds of miles away with the army of more than 100,000 and stationed in a secret forest.
However, what made him depressed was that not only did Duke Nuches's raid army, after not finding them, did not return and began to track their tracks. In the following week, perhaps the duke sent a message that their tracks in this area seemed to be known to the entire Salanka Empire.
Because judging from the scout's reconnaissance information, at this moment, although they were unable to withdraw their main legion because the war in front had begun, many nearby forces, including some legions that were supposed to support the front, were rushing towards them at this time, and they would not give up until they destroyed him.
It seems that his own actions have been completely exposed. At this moment, everyone who traveled with Li Ran knew and accepted this fact, and the subsequent journey of suffering has also begun.
Maliciously killing a duke of a country is an unforgivable sin in any empire. Li Ran also paid a heavy price for it. I don’t know how many times this was the first time he fled in panic. The entire legion was not only in extreme poverty, but also had thousands of troops lost before the war started.
At this moment, the powerful strength of the super-large empire is fully visible. When the war broke out with the Holy Falcon Alliance across the board, even the various legions pursuing were quite extraordinary. The most terrifying thing was their madness. Even though they knew that their strength was not as strong as them, these barbarian legions rushing in the front would still rush up as soon as they saw them, in order to hold them a little while and buy time for the legions coming from behind.
It was like a prey chased by a group of evil wolves. At this moment, Li Ran’s side did not dare to pause at all. Often, even if they saw the chasing legions behind were not as good as him, they had to escape desperately, because once they were dragged by them, the subsequent battle would continue until they were finally surrounded by the opponent’s army.
"Brother Ran, give me two hours and I can save them." Looking at Li Ran in front of him, Zhang Debiao couldn't help but scream and said, "Did you let me watch them die? That's the first corps I brought here?"
Looking back at Zhang Debiao, Li Ran said with a serious expression: "When you keep breaking, you will suffer the chaos. At that time, you were not willing to leave two hundred people behind the palace. Now you will lose a corps. If I give you two hours now, it would be equivalent to pushing the entire corps to the edge of the cliff. Have you not yet awakened yet!"
Hearing Li Ran's words, Zhang Debiao couldn't help but look back at the dust smoke that was stirred up in the distance. He knew that there was his own Niutou Kodo Beast Cavalry regiment, which was surrounded and killed by tens of thousands of Salanka barbarian warriors. If he was not rescued, he believed that he would soon fall into this desolate land.
There has never been that moment when he felt so frustrated and powerless as he is now. If Li Ran hadn't persuaded him, he would have led a team to rescue these Taurus warriors who had been with him for the longest time.
But on the other hand, he also knew that just a few hundred miles behind them, two legions of tens of thousands of people were coming. Once they were entangled, all the legions nearby that received the news would come like crocodiles smelling blood. At that time, even if they were strong, they would be torn to pieces by them.
As for Zhang Debiao's sudden mood lost control, Li Ran did not come forward to comfort him at this time. Even other teammates who wanted to go forward to persuade him were stopped by him because he knew that if he wanted to become a qualified general, he still needed to experience some things himself.
Li Ran knew in his heart that in order to develop rapidly, he had taken on many things himself to solve them in advance, but as the situation in the future becomes bigger and bigger, he could not take everything into consideration at the same time. If he wanted to develop and grow in the current situation, what he lacked was generals like Xia Houben, Tang Zi and Ying Ren. As for the dragon guards behind him, including Huazang and Pang brothers and sisters, although they could also lead troops to fight, their whole mind was already focused on improving their personal strength.
As for his side, in addition to Shadow Band and others, the most outstanding ones who have this potential are undoubtedly Zhou Xun, Cai Chang, Zhong Qingyi and Zhou Tong, including Bao Zhuoyi and Zhao Hanyun, who are also very good candidates.
As for Zhang Debiao, although he has many shortcomings, such as impulsive personality, limited personal strength, weak overall view, etc., his advantage is that he has a good personality and can get along with his soldiers. The most important thing is that he can listen to any opinions. This is very difficult. In addition, although he is careless in normal times, his ability to grasp opportunities at critical moments is very good. If you practice hard, you will have the opportunity to become a qualified general.
If the corps he brought out were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles, and most of them had experienced national wars and forbidden land battles, and some even had fought with the demigod-level ancient dragon of the Hellfire, and had extremely firm beliefs, and might have already collapsed at this time.
But even so, facing endless pursuits and possible battles at any time, not only does it not recover, but its spirit is always under high tension. This is a painful experience for anyone, so in the end, even these soldiers were exhausted and mentally distracted, and began to lose their staff.
However, it has been nearly a month since they left the Lyon stronghold. Although their spirit and physical strength have reached their limits, the various legions chasing in the rear will save a lot of physical strength, but it seems that they are not able to sustain themselves at this time, which gives them a chance to breathe.
"Li Ran, judging from the intelligence analysis of the scouts, in this round of war, Duke Griffiz should be able to defend the fortress." At this time, he stood on a hill. Looking at Li Ran's back who had not closed his eyes for several nights, Zhao Lanlan couldn't help but ask: "Can we return now?"
