Chapter 1307: Floating Castle
"Captain Zhou! How is the situation on the plane battlefield?" Although everyone present at this time, in addition to Zhou Xun and other teammates, there were still many generals and local managers including Dorik, Li Ran trusted the most here and knew that they came from the Moya plane, so during the meal, Li Ran did not shy away from asking at the first time.
Maybe he was hungry, and Zhou Xun also answered while eating: "Although he lost several fortresses in the early stage, from the current perspective, with the joining of legions of various countries, especially the government's actions, the situation has been controlled. The latest news is that a fortress has been recovered."
He nodded to this, and after asking about the situation of the Tianyun Legion, including Cao Dayong and others, Li Ran also learned that although the behind-the-scenes envoy for that incident has not been found so far, since the last incident, the Dark Legion may have not come to cause trouble again due to concern. On the contrary, they have also gained a lot of spoils and meritorious values on the plane battlefield.
Hearing these things, Li Ran nodded slightly, then looked at Cai Chang and asked, "How is your situation? Is there any new progress?"
Although most of Cao Dayong and others rushed back due to the plane battlefield, Cai Chang stayed here because he was responsible for contact with Nius plane.
When she heard Li Ran’s inquiry, she also wiped her mouth and replied: “Since we have invested a large number of legal corps, especially after you sent two elders and soldiers of the Kuhn tribe last time, the situation in the Nius plane has basically been controlled. Not long ago, I met Margarion, the ruler of the South, and I am negotiating with the three of them to further cooperate.”
Li Ran nodded and said, "It is a good thing that these three can sit together to negotiate, but in the negotiations, you don't need to compromise. Although I am still optimistic about these Nissite warriors so far, the current situation is that they cannot do without us. It is not that we have to need them. So the first step they have to do is to ensure that we have a higher level Nissite warrior army, and increase the supplement and exchange authority every week in the future. We can't invest so much, but we can't exchange it for a legion that can only fight a smooth battle."
Cai Chang also nodded heavily about what Li Ran said. He knew that his side's investment was not only a large number of prisoners from Valencia and the Aukington Empire, but even the entire Kuju clan was pounced on it. His efforts were not bad.
Just like fishing, even if you have already sprinkled enough bait, if you cannot get enough rewards, then your side, especially her, will be all busy these days.
After some inquiry, Cai Chang also realized that Li Ran’s lowest requirement for this Nius plane was to protect his side and have a higher-level main force. As for the scale, the larger the better.
Cai Chang knew very well that for their current forces, it would not be a trivial matter for the Nius plane, even for the Nius plane, but at the same time, she also believed that the Nius plane is now inseparable from them, so although this matter is a bit troublesome, it would not be an overly difficult thing.
During the subsequent conversation, everyone present received some tasks assigned by Li Ran, either to strengthen the intensive training of a certain type of military, or to actively contact the empire and strive to reach a certain agreement with it, but without exception, they were all things that were not mentioned at the meeting just now.
Everyone present naturally responded to the tasks assigned by Li Ran as soon as possible. In the following chat, Li Ran also asked about the matter about Fordumar, which is now the Dalmatia Empire.
When he learned that under the leadership of Fordumar, he had already entered the rift with all his might, he nodded slightly, and after everyone finished eating, the meeting ended.
"Captain Zhou! I heard that there is breakthrough progress in the floating castle." After this small meeting similar to the core dinner, Li Ran left Zhou Xun alone and asked solemnly: "Do you have specific information?"
In response to this, Zhou Xun also immediately replied: "I didn't say that there were too many people just now. I was about to report to you about this. In the middle of last month, the restoration team on the Dark Forest had completed the restoration of the core part of the floating castle, and had completed strategic tests and could be put into battle at any time."
When he heard this news, even with Li Ran's calmness, he was delighted at this moment. After Zhou Xun took out a document containing the functional information of the floating castle in detail, Li Ran also had a deeper understanding of the information of the floating castle after reading it.
It is not difficult to see from the records above that although it has not been completely repaired, the functions of this floating castle have been restored to about 80%, which is enough to complete the most basic strategic tasks.
After reading the complete information report, Li Ran also looked up at Zhou Xun and said: "The problem of energy not being completely converted is at most the problem of bringing more mages and consuming more magic crystals during use. This matter can be temporarily suspended. You ask the repair team there to overcome the core control problem in the next step, which is crucial for us."
For Zhou Xun, he knew very well what Li Ran said. When the elf era was the most glorious, those great elf kings relied on this to conquer various planes.
With their own magic and skills, they broke into other planes alone. When they were attacked by local guards, they could summon hundreds of such elves castles with waves, carrying various large weapons on them, and were also full of elves warriors, becoming nightmarish existences in all planes.
The ability to turn the entire floating castle into a unit and enter the war space is the root of the glory of the ancient elves era. However, this technology, in addition to those left by luck, has completely disappeared with the passage of war and time, and even the gods cannot recover.
So in this case, every remaining floating castle or floating fortress will be regarded as a treasure by the owner, including some gods. From the known point of view, even forces like the Holy Falcon League and the Salanka Empire do not have such floating castles, which shows their preciousness.
Fortunately, as long as the core part is not damaged, the setting that turns the entire floating castle into one unit after it is repaired is just an accompanying function, and it should not take too long to restore it. In addition, with so many professional mages invested in it, Li Ran believes that this floating castle will soon become his killer weapon.
Although on the surface, in a large war, there was only one floating castle and its purpose was limited, Li Ran's eagerness to control this floating castle was from the perspective of development in the forbidden area.
After confirming some things with Zhou Xun, Li Ran temporarily put the matter down. After thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "There is another thing you need to pay more attention to, that is the secret base of the mutated flying ray in Taier City. From the current perspective, although the number of finished products has reached more than 300, I need more than these. If necessary, even if you increase investment, the fleet staying in the port can be requisitioned at any time."
Hearing Li Ran's words so firm, Zhou Xun nodded heavily. Although he is usually responsible for internal affairs, this does not affect his strategic vision. Even compared to others, he is more aware of the huge role this seemingly lacks in attack power may play in the future battlefield.
I have to say that Li Ran was very busy these days after returning. In addition, some teammates left, he had to make decisions on many big and small matters. It was not until a few days later that he was a little free.
But before he could leave, as the news of his return was known by Fordumar, the messenger of this guy there arrived. In desperation, Li Ran had to go to his place again, and did not return depressedly on the third day.
"Look at me and notify me immediately as soon as I come back." A sincere smile appeared on his face. He seemed to be nostalgic as he waved his hand and watched Li Ran and others walking towards the teleportation array. However, the Fortonmar said to others: "We are so difficult now, we can't get through without knocking him a little."
Originally came here to see Prince Telris off, but when he heard this, the generals behind him, including the giant king Yaxili, couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Sir, are you a little too cruel this time?" As one of the leaders of the god envoys who came from the abyss, Yulek couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "This adult is coming all at once, nearly half of the finished Xingyao Steel and Keel Iron are afraid he won't dare to come next time."
Perhaps seeing Li Ran had left, everyone couldn't help laughing again. As for Fordmare, he shook his head and said, "Don't listen to this guy. If he can agree on the spot, it means that this thing is nothing to him. In fact, I was a little anxious just now. I had known that I should have directly asked for weapons. Anyway, there are many elves and dwarves there, so we can save a lot of expenses."
Hearing his words, everyone present couldn't help but nodded with a smile. When they saw Li Ran leaving and turned back, Apius suddenly sighed and said, "Our allies are really good, including giving us so much materials this time. If he really wants to give them, he can make an excuse at will. To be honest, when he said the quantity, I could see that everyone was shocked."
