On the stronghold, although there were heavy casualties in this battle, it solved the urgent need in front of it and severely damaged the Duke of Nichles' army. Whether it was the three dukes or the military and political chief Olus, including the noble lords, was excited and expressed deep gratitude to Li Ran for his arrival.

The huge threat that had been over the past few months was finally completely resolved, and Li Ran's fame here also increased. Coupled with the reputation he had made before and the subsequent stimulus of Duke Egbert, Li Ran vaguely had the stance of approaching the three major dukes and military chiefs. Even during the meeting, there were more supporters behind Li Ran.

In the war era, everyone habitually respects the strong. This is a natural phenomenon and a law of survival. Li Ran's victory here gradually made his reputation. Even the Salanka Empire opposite him also called it the Wolf of Khanlok. In addition, the hatred of killing Duke Antipat before was reflected in the reward list set to inspire barbarian warriors.

In this list of military merits to inspire barbarian warriors, the Salanka Empire once offered a reward of Prince Telris to the same level as the kings of several Holy Falcon Alliances. This also shows his hatred and attention to Li Ran.

When he first heard this news, Li Ran was having a drink with several noble lords of the Bagastu Empire. Although Duke Egbert, as the head coach, did not come because of something, Marquis of Titus, as the host, regarded Li Ran as a guest of honor. In addition, the accompanying members of the noble lords and generals around him, the scene was very lively.

"I didn't expect that as an outsider, I would have the honor of getting the same reward as several kings one day." After learning about this from the Marquis of Titus, Li Ran couldn't help but smile and said.

Seeing Li Ran seemingly not caring, the noble lords present also laughed. After a while, Titus looked at Li Ran and deliberately reminded: "This so-called list of military achievements is nothing more than a gimmick created by the other party, but the lord should not be too contemptuous of it. Those barbarians are fierce, and they are agitated by this matter. If you know that you are on the court, they will undoubtedly work harder. You should be more careful at that time, and it is best to leave more guards around you."

Li Ran also nodded and said, "Thank you, sir, I will pay attention to this matter, but you also know my situation. I don't know when next time, you may be sent by Duke Griffiz to perform any dangerous mission."

Hearing Li Ranyu complaining, the people present couldn't help but look at each other secretly, and then Titus sighed and said, "It's hard to say about this, but what Lord Griffiz did is indeed unfair. Who doesn't know your great military achievements? To put it bluntly, including his ability to guard the fortress before, thanks to your help, but why is this person not grateful at all, especially the last time that matter, alas! I don't know what to say."

After looking at the marquis, Li Ran also smiled and said, "As long as we know that, it's enough. In fact, I think it's a good thing. After all, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't know the adults and everyone here."

"Sir, I'm so generous!" At this time, a lord next to him raised his glass and said, "Just say this to you, let's have a drink."

"That's right, if it were on the battlefield, if it were like you, you, we would have solved this Salanka long ago." Another person stood up and raised his glass and said.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk. Afterwards, Li Ran also proposed the idea of ​​exchanging some prisoners again. This was naturally no problem for everyone present. After all, they all knew that Prince Telres was very generous in this regard in the previous exchanges.

With them as a matchmaker, Li Ran could also convert the troops captured by the Salanka Empire into the troops he needed as soon as possible. The most of them were the Templar Warriors and Mages, and there were some other race biological forces that the opponent did not need.

After the negotiations were made, Li Ran and Titus and others also chatted for a while, until the night was getting darker, and he left here with the help of several guards.

"It seems that this Lord Telres has a deep resentment towards Duke Griffiz." Not long after seeing Li Ran off, a man suddenly spoke.

A person next to him couldn't help but cut and said, "I've been fooled by that old guy Griffiz several times. If you had probably led your troops to fight for him long ago. This Prince Telres is so easy to talk to."

"There is nothing to do. After all, he is just an outside lord. Although he is very strong, he has to bear some things." The man just now sighed and said.

Then, the few people present also looked at Marquis Titus. As for the latter, he nodded and said, "You report this to Lord Egbert first, but in my opinion, this person is indeed worth winning."

Although it was just two short sentences, Marquis Titus undoubtedly expressed his attitude. As for how Duke Egbert and the people above considered it, it was not something he could decide.

On this side, after leaving Bagastu's defense zone as if drunk, Li Ran slowly stood up straight, and looked back, revealing a hint of enlightenment.

It has been several months since the Salanka Empire launched its first round of attacks. No one knows how long this battle will take. However, as the war escalates, Li Ran has led his troops to fight many times. With his command and outstanding military strength, the reputation of the Wolf of Khanlok has gone unpredictably, and at the same time, people remember Prince Telris, who dares to fight tough battles.

For An Zhenxi, she never thought that she would be able to participate in such a large-scale war one day. With the rapid increase in command, she had reached a critical point. The legion she controlled had also changed from an ordinary elves cavalry before to a mixed elves of nearly 10,000 people, including elves cavalry archers above the level, and a high elves cavalry corps known for their maneuverability and flexibility.

At noon that day, she had just cooperated with Bao Zhuoyi to kill a barbarian corps. Just as she was about to lead the team to chase him, Cai Chang, who arrived later, called her troops back.

"Sister Cai, what's going on? Is it going to be a decisive battle?" After arranging the troops, An Zhenxi also walked into this temporary central army camp and asked.

"You are the smartest, unlike them. I asked for it for a long time after I came." Cai Chang also replied with a smile.

Hearing this sentence, An Zhenxi was a little excited. Since the last time Salanka applied for a decisive battle, she knew that this day would come sooner or later. Because of such a long continuous battle, if it was consumed, the soldiers on both sides would exhaust their energy. Therefore, launching a decisive battle at this time is undoubtedly the best ending for both sides.

"Have you selected the location?" However, not long afterwards, An Zhenxi asked nervously: "Have our mission been confirmed?"

At this time, Zhang Debiao next to him also smiled and said, "Don't worry, the location is the place we proposed last time. As for our mission, I heard that with the help of Duke Egbert, I will not be on the forward line again this time."

Hearing this, An Zhenxi looked at the people around her, and then she felt a little relieved after seeing their expressions. What she was most worried about was that during the decisive battle, they were sent to the front line of the battlefield again, because no matter what the final victory or loss was, their casualties would undoubtedly be very heavy.

"The decisive battle location mentioned by our side obviously has a great advantage for us." After breathing a sigh of relief, she said in confusion: "Salanka actually agreed so quickly. Will there be any fraud in this?"

Cai Chang smiled and spread his hands and said, "What can they do if they don't agree? In this situation, if both sides stick to their strongholds, they may not be able to fight until the end of the war. This is obviously more beneficial to our side. If they want to open up the situation here and then support the other three war zones, they can only end the war here as soon as possible, and they have to accept our opinions! As for whether there will be frauds in it, I think there should be some hidden forces in it, but as far as Brother Ran said, these are the affairs of the three dukes and the military and political chief Olus. At this point, the Holy Falcon Alliance, which is dominated by human race, should also be prepared."

After hearing Cai Chang say so much in one breath, everyone nodded slightly. Just as Cai Chang said, for them, the final decision-making power of this matter was not in their own hands. What they are worried about now is nothing more than where their side was arranged and how to minimize casualties in this decisive battle.

For the Holy Falcon League and the Salanka Empire, this decisive battle will undoubtedly determine the final ownership of this area. If Griffith wins, the Holy Falanka Alliance will regain control of this area and further compress the war zone of the Salanka Empire to the central area of ​​the border.

If the Duke of Nickles wins, this area will completely become a war zone of the Salanka Empire. Although from the current point of view, it is not very likely to invade the alliance from here, it can attract more troops from the Holy Falcon League. At least from the perspective of the situation, if they successfully control this place, they can create more opportunities for the war zone of the Salanka Empire in the middle of the border.
