Chapter 591: Stronghold Captain
At this time, looking up at the lord he was loyal to, Doric couldn't help but nod solemnly.`
However, all these plans were disrupted by a message from the scout at noon. From there, a group of spider-formed elves ran out and surrounded and attacked the stronghold guarded by the multi-headed knight in front of them. The other party had now sent a call for help to him.
At this moment, Li Ran faced nothing more than saving or not. If he saved, he would not only be dangerous, but his strongholds under construction would also be exposed by the other party, and the risk in the mission would increase next. Although it would be reasonable if he didn't save him, the task assigned to him by the empire was only to build territory, but no one could tell whether it would affect the completion rate of the mission. Not saving him to death is a taboo in the army. It would be troublesome if the military and political masters knew about it. At the same time, this behavior would also arouse resentment from some soldiers in Banoga City.
But the situation is urgent now, and it is definitely not the time to sit down and discuss carefully. So after thinking for a while, Li Ran immediately issued an order to gather troops.
After sending a cavalry to tell the stronghold in the rear, Li Ran took less than half an hour to personally lead a 3ooo army to rescue.`
As the information from the scouts in front continued to come, Li Ran learned that the number of these spider-formed elves was about 3 ooo. In addition to these spider-formed elves, there were thousands of high-level dark elves warriors and a small number of dark elves warriors.
In the case of a rush, Li Ran took about two hours to arrive at the battlefield. After giving a signal to the personnel in the stronghold, he took a brief rest for a few minutes and let the trumpet blow the trumpet.
With the sound of the horn, the five hundred undead cavalry led by Shadow Blade were rushed to the front, followed by 1,500 high-level war bears led by Xia Houben.
The dark elves and spider-formed elves who were about to take down the stronghold were obviously not expected that the opponent's reinforcements would arrive so soon. The opponent's leader, a top-level female dark elves warlock, wanted to mobilize troops from the battlefield to restrain them after seeing the undead cavalry who rushed over without saying a word.
However, when she saw more than a thousand high-level war bears rushing over, she quickly lost confidence. Moreover, there were obviously thousands of taurens and a group of strange-looking guys beside the reinforcements in the distance, so she screamed unwillingly and issued an order to retreat.`
Unexpectedly, this dark elf warlock was so decisive, which made Li Ran, who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate them through two sides, was a little unexpected. In addition, these dark elf and spider-formed elves were originally local creatures in the dark forest, so in addition to the beginning, the pursuit was very little, and only a few hundred injured prisoners of war were captured.
"I didn't expect that the troops here are so good at fighting, and they can escape without hesitation in the face of crisis. At the same time, the troops responsible for the rear of the palace can also resist to the death willingly. Although they are the enemy, it is indeed admirable." After meeting with the captain of the other stronghold, Li Ran did not wait for the other party to thank him, and first sighed.
Hearing Li Ran’s words, the multi-headed knight who was more than two meters tall after getting off his mount couldn’t help but nodded secretly. He could praise the enemy so much. This lord was very concerned, so it was no wonder that he could come to save him as soon as possible.
So at this time, he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "This is a place for long-term battles. As a leader. If the Dark Warlock cannot even do this, he will not live until now. He only found out that he had come to a neighbor a few days ago. He didn't expect that he would have a life-saving grace just a few days ago. I really don't know if I should be happy or ashamed, but here I still want to express my deep gratitude to you on behalf of my tribe members."
Seeing the other party bent down to salute, Li Ran hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him and smiled, "Since you said we are neighbors, it is a matter of taking care of each other. Besides, although this is the first time you and I have met, they are all from the Empire. If you are too polite, you will meet. I am also a newcomer, and I hope you can give me more advice in the future."
Seeing the lord's gentle attitude, he took credit without being proud, and his words instantly brought each other closer together. The captain of the multi-headed dragon knight admired him and nodded repeatedly. After asking his personal soldiers to bring a glass of victory wine to fight with Li Ran, he personally led the way to invite Li Ran and the team into the stronghold.
In the following chat, as a multi-headed dragon knight leader, the captain with the title of Lord undoubtedly had the ease of being a warrior. Although he did not hide anything in some places, he still revealed many news that Li Ran didn't know.
For example, there is a dark castle ruled by dark creatures more than 100 kilometers ahead of them. Over the years, its scale has almost reached the city's standard, but because his master, Lord Benster's hawk troops, were regularly reconnaissed, for fear that the Count would seize the opportunity to take them all, so they did not dare to send too many troops every time, including the dark elves and spider-formed elves that attacked him this time, obviously came from there.
On the right side of his stronghold, a little further away from the previous Dark Castle, there is a real decayed land, there is a medium-sized city of the dead. In this case, they did not dare to establish a stronghold here, but because in the last empire's counterattack, Duke Sels's Angels Legion killed the Death Lord of the medium-sized city of the dead, so they arranged their defensive strongholds around it.
"According to what you say, the task I received is actually to control the large stronghold built in this medium-sized undead city." Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but say.
Because he had known the purpose of Li Ran's trip through Doric, who had come to visit before, the captain of the multi-headed dragon knight said, "It should be that way. You can also see that our stronghold is simple and has been abandoned for a long time. Now it is just barely used. If there is a complete system of defensive buildings, if I just meet those guys just now, I don't need to ask for help."
Speaking of this, the captain of the multi-headed dragon knight of the dungeon power suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Ran solemnly and said, "If this is the case, I hope you can build the stronghold there as much as possible. In this way, no matter whether I will be assigned to you in the future, it will also make us have greater hope of survival in the war. Of course, I am definitely not afraid of death in battle, but I just don't want to see my tribe and comrades-in-arms die worthless due to these objective reasons."
