After hearing what Li Ran said, his teammates also understood what Li Ran meant. After all, it would take some time for them to build a town-level stronghold here. If they were targeted by a powerful opponent, it would be troublesome. Sacrifice part of the interests in exchange for more safety is naturally the best choice.`

"Brother Ran is still thinking carefully. If I had rushed out to make these dark creatures long ago," Zhang Debiao said embarrassedly, scratching his head.

At this time, Shadow Blade smiled and said, "It's not necessary to rush out. If you really want to wipe out these dark creatures, just arrange two or three thousand high troops outside the city. When the war comes, you will let them block the other party's retreat. I promise that there will be no more dark creatures that will break away."

Hearing Shadow Blade say this, the teammates nodded repeatedly. This was the best choice for war, but the next moment they thought of Li Ran's tactics, but they had already surpassed these things and started to think directly from the overall situation. This was even higher, and they couldn't help but feel a little moved.

If Zhang Debiao's war can defeat the enemy and Shadow Blade's war can wipe out the enemy, then Li Ran's war plan is to unknowingly weave the enemy into a huge sticky net. No matter how hard you struggle, you will be exhausted. In the end, you have no choice but to hand over the choice of life and death and let others ask for it.`

Although it was just a small war, the teammates couldn't help but sigh that this was the real war! With more careful plans and actions, they slowly transformed the enemy's various plans into their own advantages, and finally destroyed them with a thunder blow.

In this way, Li Ran chatted with everyone for a while and determined the candidate for the war. At the same time, he also instructed Zhang Debiao to lead people to tell them about the barbarian chief behind them when the war was about to end and see what the other party reacted.

At this time, everyone knew that every order issued by Li Ran must have its intention, so although Zhang Debiao was a little disappointed and could not fight to the end, he nodded immediately at this time.

The next day, these dark creatures that were getting closer and closer to the stronghold began a tentative reconnaissance attack. When Li Ran and his teammates deliberately showed weakness, the opponent became more and more courageous. In the end, they directly stationed the troops on a yellow hillside less than five miles away from them.

"Brother Ran, these guys only stationed more than a thousand troops on the hillside. In addition, most of the dark elf warriors were ambushing in the ash wood forest on both sides. It seemed that they wanted to ambush us." Zhang Juan, who was standing on the city wall at this time, smiled and said.`

Seeing Li Ran nodding, Zhang Debiao, who was standing by, also smiled and said, "That's the scouts we were responsible for the investigation. I have to say that the scouts in our territory are indeed powerful. I see that half of the more than 20 scouts brought by Histan have reached the top level. This is better than the other sentrymen and centaur detectives."

Hearing this, Wu Tongtong said, "The adult hunters of the Yali tribe must meet the standards of high-level troops, and then undergo professional training from scouts. Moreover, they are permanent residents of the endless snowy land and have very good potential, so it is reasonable to advance. Using top-level troops as scouts naturally has a great advantage, and it is also one of the main reasons why we have always had information disturbances."

After listening to Wu Tongtong's introduction, Zhou Xun and others couldn't help but nodded. At the same time, they also deeply realized the importance of information to the battlefield. Just like the dark creatures opposite now, they thought they had set up a comprehensive ambush, but they didn't know that they had already seen through Li Ran and others, and were watching their jokes at this time.

After a while, Ying Ren suddenly asked, "Brother Ran, should we take this opportunity to strike the troops they ambushed first?"

"If I only attack one side, I am confident that I can resolve the battle within ten minutes and have enough time to retreat." Seeing Li Ran turn around and look at him, Shadow Blade spoke again.

After thinking for a while, Li Ran finally nodded and said, "Okay, the side where they ambushed is only about 1,000 troops at most, except for the 500 undead cavalry you have brought. I will select 1,000 tauren warriors to Xia Houben and Cao Dayong. You three will be responsible for this operation. Wu Tongtong and Qian Hui will accompany you. I will give you five hundred elves archers and 1oo priests. As for how to fight, I will hand them over to you."

Seeing them nodding solemnly, Li Ran continued, "But there is one thing you should pay attention to. You must fight to the death. No matter what the result is, you must not get entangled with the other party's return troops."

Understand that Li Ran's meaning was that he was afraid that they would go to war, so the people nodded. After several hours of preparation, they led the troops out quietly.

Because they were not far apart, just a few hours apart, everyone saw the soldiers jogging back from afar.

By running to the front, the Taurus Leader Saguier had an excited expression on his face, Li Ran and his teammates knew that the operation had been successful. As expected, through the brief report of Shadow Blade and Xia Houben, they went out for a total of more than 40 enemies through raids, among which high-level dark elf warriors accounted for the vast majority, and there were very few casualties.

While ordering these returned soldiers to rest in the back of the stronghold, Li Ran also allowed the other soldiers to enter a pre-war preparation state. The other party was inexplicably attacked, and believed that with their personalities, they would come to take revenge soon.

Sure enough, just half an hour later, the army of dark creatures opposite had appeared in front of them with great momentum.

Last time, because I didn't know that there were troops stationed in this stronghold, they sneaked up from behind when they were capturing another stronghold. Unexpectedly, just set up an ambush, he was actually sneaked up by the other party again. At this time, the female dark elf sorcerer's neck could no longer calm down.

However, when she rushed over with the troops angrily, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw the other party's stronghold. I remember that the last time I passed by here was more than a month ago. I didn't expect that in such a short time, this abandoned stronghold would have been completely renewed.

After ordering the troops to stop, the female dark sorcerer came to the formation and began to look at the stronghold. After a while, she suddenly crossed her hands in front of her chest, and began to recite the hidden spells silently like flying in her mouth.

As she chanted the spell, a ball of light intertwined with dark red and black appeared in front of her. The ball of light slowly grew larger and condensed as she continued to chant, and it stopped until it finally rose to the size of a football.
