On this side, after the message happened, Li Ran met the scout leader Hestan who was rushing to come after a while.

"What's the matter?" Li Ran, who had recovered from his senses, couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw his expression in a hurry.

The latter bowed and said, "Lord, I'm here to report to you that we have found the main city of the dungeon."

Li Ran's eyes lit up and said quickly: "It's a good job, tell me quickly, where is its specific location?"

Histan nodded and replied, "Through our investigation during this period, we found two territories in the dungeon territory we gave up, one in the same place as the undead and the dungeon forces. According to your order, we did not inquire in depth, but bypassed these two cities and discovered the main city of this dungeon forces less than two hundred miles forward."

Li Ran said with an Oh, "It seems that our current location is less than 300 miles away from the main city of the dungeon, with four villages and towns separated by them. No wonder they have such a big reaction. Is there any situation in the main city of the undead?"

"Not yet, but we caught a few wild cavemen. According to what they said, the main city of the Undead should be located south of the main city of the dungeon. The specific location is not clear yet, but I have sent someone to follow the route to investigate. I believe there will be news soon," said Scout leader Histan, bent over and said.

At this time, Li Ran couldn't help but remain silent for a while. Based on Histan's information and the information obtained in Ian Helder's chat, Li Ran had conceived the general situation of this underground world from his heart.

After a long time, Li Ran said solemnly to Hestan: "Catch the investigation of the main city of the Dead. Once there is information, tell me immediately. There are additional personnel to carefully grasp the specific forces of these two main cities, and explore the distribution of internal buildings while ensuring safety."

Knowing that this matter was related to the safety of the entire territory, the scout leader nodded heavily.

Seeing Histan leaving, Li Ran fell into deep thought again. Half a month had passed since the last war, and the dungeon forces did not rush to take revenge. Moreover, according to Histan's intelligence, there was no sign of abnormal movement. Whether it was because of his concession of territory or because the other party was concerned about the undead forces, it seemed that he was still safe for the time being. Then the most important thing next was the construction of territory and the expansion of troops.

Thinking of this, Li Ran came to the battalion of the eighth-level steel shield guards recruited by Dorik alone. Although these shield guards were only mid-level troops, a set of steel armor on their bodies increased their defenses. Although their attack power was slightly inferior, they were good at defending. Moreover, they were well-trained in the overall coordination and well-trained.

Seeing the lord coming, these steel shield guards who had just joined the camp seemed a little restrained and estranged, but their habits still made them stand in formation quickly.

After looking at these people, Li Ran suddenly wanted to try their skills and cooperation, so Li Ran looked at them and said with a smile: "I believe you already know the elites of the Khanlok Empire. I am the lord of this territory. I am honored to be your joining. As your lord. You can't be empty-handed when you meet for the first time. Each person will give away a gold coin. There is a tavern run by dwarves in the territory. I believe you know it too, so I will treat you as a drink here."

Hearing this, these steel shield guards couldn't help but smile. When they first came, they looked down on this small territory, but after observing these days, they were surprised to find that this territory actually had so many high-level troops, and even those long-range troops were elves who were not inferior to their own. Then they let go of their contempt, but they were a little uncomfortable with the environment of the underground world. At this time, they saw that the lord was so generous, so they naturally cheered.

After looking at everyone, Li Ran asked jokingly: "Are you scolding me in your heart at this time? The lord nnd is so stingy, so he just gave a gold coin to drink. If he had a large alcohol capacity, it wouldn't be enough?"

At this time, the steel shield guards couldn't help laughing again, and the brave one said, "No matter how strong the alcohol content is, you can drink a gold coin, so why don't you drink him to death?"

Li Ran smiled and shook his head and said, "Then you are wrong. It depends on what kind of wine. If it is good wine, you can't even buy a gold coin. However, our territory is still in the development period, and many places are short of money, so you can only feel sorry for your brothers."

These steel shield guards even said they didn't dare to say that when they were in the capital, they had never heard such heartwarming words, and their favorability for the lord increased a lot.

Seeing that it was effective, Li Ran even chatted with them, and even said bluntly that he wanted to try their skills. He sent the Baranka guard Wuqi and the Tak swordsman Gilro behind him.

At this time, Li Ran said: "Brothers, these two are the waiting guards who have been with me for the longest time and are also my most loyal partners. Today I will ask them to try your skills and cooperation, don't worry! No matter whether you win or lose, the lord will have rewards. Are you willing to accept it?"

As these steel shield guards agreed, two steel shield guards rushed out of them and went to Uchi and Gilro respectively, and a challenge started.

Although the ending was self-evident, Li Ran found that these two steel shield guards were really good. Although they were not skilled enough, they had orderly offense and defense. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were not discouraged. They could fight back one or two times from time to time while defending closely, making these two challenges not aimed at killing enemies very exciting, especially in the match between Balanka guards Wuqi and the steel shield guards. Both of them held shields and the sword in one hand, and the fight was as smooth as a teaching game.

When the two steel shield guards were defeated, their companions sighed, but their eyes looked at the Lord, afraid that he would be disappointed. However, Li Ran happily stepped forward and praised a few words, and at the same time each rewarded another gold coin.

Seeing this, the other steel shield guards were relieved. Seeing that their companions had received gold coins, they couldn't help but feel excited. After two more games, Li Ran gave rewards and said, "I am very satisfied with your skills. However, my guards are also limited in physical strength, so they can only compete for three more games. However, the number of people in each battle can be increased to two people. As long as they can win any of them, each person will be rewarded with ten gold coins."

As soon as Li Ran said this, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the steel shield guards. In the first game, one person was on the battlefield, but the strength was too great, and they were defeated in a short while. In the second game, they discussed the four people coming up. After cooperation, they did not lose at all in the initial battle. However, the attack method was too single, and they finally lost. Faced with the last game, these steel shield guards couldn't help but be more cautious, and finally four people came up. (To be continued.)
