Chapter 1228: Youyue Castle
If the two military fortresses of the Holy Gun and the Green Sea are the two giant swords that restricted the invasion of the Salanka Empire. The Neiya Mountains, which are slightly behind, are like the natural shields of the Holy Falcon League to resist these strong bodies and crazy barbarians.
As for the Youyue Castle! It is undoubtedly the most important point on this shield to prevent barbarians from invading, because if you don’t take it down, except for those flying legions, the Salanka Empire’s army could not pass through such a vast Inner Asian mountain range in a short period of time.
As for Li Ran, after about a month of rest and seeing the Salanka Empire army slowly coming here, he had no choice but to lead his troops to evacuate and was forced to go to this famous Youyue Fort with other forces!
However, before leaving, in order to be as realistic as possible, Li Ran divided his troops again, pretending to be separated after the war and headed here separately. After seeing the terrain here, Li Ran also understood the origin of this last line of defense.
Like a giant dragon lying here, a natural gap appeared here. On the traces that had been clearly developed, the narrow and long Yue Castle fell here like a crescent moon, firmly guarding the gap that could enter the territory of the Holy Falcon Alliance.
After learning that he was from the Khan Locke Empire and was named the lord of Earl Telris here, Li Ran's side was also warmly welcomed.
After all, at this moment, any foreign aid is undoubtedly precious for the Holy Falcon Alliance, not to mention that Li Ran had shown a large number of troops before, almost no less than the sum of several small and medium-sized empires coming from nearby.
In addition, Li Ran finally met several kings, including Dilconel the next day. When Li Ran was here, he did not lead his troops to retreat to Bourne Island, and even insisted on sending troops from Bourne Island to reinforce, these kings were also very satisfied. After passing the temporary resolution, Li Ran was promoted to Marquis of Terres soon!
An alien lord was named Marquis. In the history of the Holy Falcon League, there were only two people who appeared before. These two were not surprisingly nobles of their vassal states. This also shows how much they valued Li Ran at this time. After all, after statistics, they also knew that the total force brought by this person had reached more than 300,000. What's even rarer is that the level is high, which is completely different from the existence of a medium-sized empire. Even in them, they are considered elite soldiers.
"Marquis of Telres! Are you satisfied with the military camp I have pulled to you?" At this time, at a small meeting within the Greenohm Empire, Dirkonel, the King of Greenohm, also asked Li Ran with a smile.
Hearing the king's inquiry, Li Ran quickly stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is so polite. I am about to tell you about this. I didn't know about it before. It was not until yesterday that I happened to meet Marquis Atez that I learned that the military camp you pulled me was actually the military camp of Duke Mathil before. I came here this time and wanted to ask you to go there to redirect it. Just give it to a military camp."
Seeing Li Ran so respectful, the middle-aged man also smiled and waved his hand and said, "You just stay there and stay honestly. I wanted to hand over the barracks to Mathil, but his losses were too great. Now there is less than 100,000 troops left. Just make a place for him by my side. It is a waste there. But it is just right for you. After all, you are from afar and are not very familiar with other people here, especially the people in the capitals of several countries. Although it is a little remote, it can save a lot of trouble."
Knowing his identity here has always been unpopular. Although he was familiar with the noble lords of the Holy Spear Fortress before, those people were injured and killed. What's more, these were elite legions of capitals in various countries at this time, and more people looked down on him. So when Li Ran heard this, he smiled helplessly.
Seeing Li Ran's helpless expression, the king also smiled and said, "What's more, although you are the honorary marquis of our Holy Falcon League, everyone knows that I actually invited you. It's okay for me to take care of you. Please forgive me for Griffiz's previous affairs. No one expected that the old guy would do such a thing. Alas! I'm also blaming him for being old. I've been a bit too indulgent over the years, but don't worry, I've been scolding him for a long time."
I have to say that this monarch, who is still young among the kings, not only treats people very well-educatedly, but also speaks very appropriately. With a few words, it not only makes people feel that he is a loyal and righteous lord, but also resolves all the previous misunderstandings.
At this moment, when Li Ran heard what he said as the king, he said, he was afraid. However, after seeing King Deerconel insisting on giving him Duke Mathil's military camp, he thought of his situation and was not ready to refuse again and again. However, he also solemnly apologized and thanked Duke Mathil himself on the side.
Fortunately, Duke Mathil, who had some relationship with the king, seemed very generous. Not only was he not angry about it, but he took the initiative to propose that the food and grass that originally existed was not taken away, even if it was a gift for Li Ran.
Although there was not much food and grass, I believe many people would be very moved by him and King Dilconel. However, Li Ran was very clear that he would rather change his military camp than want the camp that seemed glorious but was actually a few important people nearby, including the message sent by Fordumar, which also showed its interests.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this military camp that they have to go back and forth through the territory of several important noble lords in Greengham, including Edith. Therefore, since leading the army here, in addition to some important information, Li Ran has also reduced private contact with Duke Fortonmar, and only intensified training every day to achieve better performance on the battlefield.
Fortunately, shortly afterwards, with the first Salanka Legion appearing in everyone's sight, the war here was imminent, and the Salanka side, who came with a victory, obviously knew that the longer the time they dragged here, the more unfavorable it would be for their own side who came from afar. Therefore, after completing the assembly, they also decisively launched a large-scale attack on Youyue Castle.
In the previous decisive battle, the Saranka Empire caused a great loss to the Holy Falcon Alliance. At this time, with the powerful forces of various barbarians taking turns to fight, even the Youyue Fort guarded by elite troops from various countries felt a little nervous. Fortunately, with the entry of the capital legions of various countries, they also defended it. Until this day, when they saw a legion appearing in the opposite Salanka side slowly coming, everyone's face changed drastically.
He is wearing a golden heavy armor! He is carrying a hideous giant battle axe! These barbarian soldiers with three sharp horns look ferocious, exuding a suffocating fury and bloody smell. As for their appearance, they have obvious orc characteristics. They all have an astonishing height of three meters away. They are very majestic in size, and as for their level, they all reach the epic level or above.
Why did they have such an orc legion that they had never seen before?
Hey~ This seems to be the Beast King God of Gediuchi, the God of Orcs! Why did it become a legion here?
Bah! What kind of orc god is just a false god? I just don’t know how could a orc god of such a scale be treated in Saranka?
Just a false god, maybe his believers are ignorant barbarians like Salanka.
From this point of view, they must have given some amazing sacrifices!
Sacrifices? You said that these are all offered? What kind of sacrifices are they? This is a divine servant with a scale of enough to reach the legion level.
This is nothing. Look at the row of beast kings in the back. Judging from the body shape, it must be of the destruction level, and the number has reached nearly a hundred people!
Ah~ It's true, so how can we keep here if we do this?
~~
Looking at the Beast King God's Legion coming like a demon in front of him, everyone was shocked. When they saw the army rolling towards Salanka on the opposite side, this time they could be said to have all the troops coming out, and there was an astonishing number of Bemon Legion behind them, everyone on the Holy Falcon Alliance also knew that the final moment finally came.
Although Li Ran sent troops to the defense line of the Youyue Fort many times before this, and knew that the fierceness and strength of these barbarian warriors on the other side were, he was a little scared when facing the Salanka Legion at this moment, because Li Ran felt the depression and calmness that was different from usual for the first time in them.
Compared with the barbarian legion, the Salanka army that was slowly moving at this time was obviously much quieter than usual, including the ferocious beast mounts that originally liked to roar, and there was no sound at this moment. Under the aura of the beast king god servants who seemed to have endless murderous intent, they not only dared not howl, but also walked because they were afraid, and they whispered much quieter when the hooves landed on the ground. As for other barbarian armies, they were much quieter than usual at this time.
But it was this kind of quiet that when it appeared in the barbarian legion, it showed the other party's determination. Including Li Ran, all the noble lords and commanders of the Holy Falcon Alliance also noticed this. In addition to quickly arranging manpower, they also began to order all the legions in the rear to enter a state of full combat readiness.
