Chapter 686: Formal Alliance
In addition, except for the three druid masters who reached the 16th level and the remaining seven legendary adult green dragons, Li Ran did not receive all the guards as usual. A total of 136 forest dragon beasts and fifty-two underage green dragons, plus the twenty-three thorny dragons left by himself, Li Ran classified them all into the conventional corps for his teammates to use in their daily battles.
According to statistics, 6,000 soldiers of all races were killed in this war, and more than 5,000 people were lost to the elves before the opponent captured the elves, and the total casualties were about 11,000, including medium and high-level troops, while more than 24,000 elves were surrendered after captives, including many top-level troops, which can be counted as the biggest war they have gained so far.
In addition to the harvest from these troops, although this elves escaped, it was obviously prepared in the early days. This can be seen from the life skills and underage children who were carefully protected by them. Therefore, the few supplies they brought out included many valuable materials, including assembly, antiques, treasures, etc.
So for the next period of time, the entire territory was immersed in this joy, but for Li Ran and others, they were even busier. Not only did they have to pay the soldiers who died in this battle, but the territory suddenly had more than 50,000 people. How to make them have enough food is also a big problem. You should know that nearly half of these more than 50,000 people were full-time soldiers. They would not collect and plant these life skills except in wars.
Fortunately, the territory had prepared food for winter before. Even if the more than 50,000 people were counted, it could barely last for about two months. So after discussing these reorganizations with everyone, Li Ran took out all the remaining funds and ordered Zhou Xun to reorganize the caravan that had been stopped for a long time, so that they could purchase food from other cities in case of emergencies. At the same time, they took out part of the valuable materials seized by the Elf Tribe. Zhou Xun and others were asked to sell it.
And that night, in the study of the old man Hu Shihai, Hu Zhijun and Wang Haiyan who returned from the battle map also told them about the situation on Li Ran.
"What? In just two or three days, Li Ran took back the elf territory? He captured more than 20,000 troops?" Hu Huaming, the father of Hu Zhijun, said with a very surprised expression after hearing what his daughter-in-law Wang Haiyan said.
Hearing his father's inquiry, Hu Zhijun nodded again and said, "That's true. When we left, Li Ran's army had returned to the City of Thun. In addition to more than 20,000 residents and creatures of various ethnic groups, the number of soldiers brought back was about 26,000, of which more than 2,000 were soldiers above the top level, and more than 180 super-level soldiers and seven legendary adult green dragons."
For those who have not been able to recruit several super-level troops so far, they were shocked when they heard this news, and Hu Hualin, who is also a lord, was even more envious of this.
"Grandpa, you are right. It seems that I really underestimated this Li Ran before." At this time, Hu Zhijun suddenly looked at the old man and said solemnly.
Hu Shihai, who was in deep thought, was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "It's not bad! You can see other people's advantages and don't be self-righteous. This is a very good thing. Unexpectedly, Li Ran invisibly helped me train my grandson. It seems that I have to thank him in person."
Seeing that the old man seemed to be in a good mood, they couldn't help but smile. After a while, Hu Shihai suddenly said, "Actually, I'm the same as you. I thought I had already touched this guy's bottom through the last incident, but I didn't expect that Li Ran was surprised by me again and again. To be honest, even I can't see through him now."
Wang Haiyan smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are too modest. No matter how powerful Li Ran is, he has just stayed in the Third World for a while and has seen more knowledge than us. If you are in the Third World like him, you will have dominated the area long ago."
After waved his hand, Hu Shihai smiled and said, "You little girl can praise people. Have you told him what I mean this time?"
Although Hu Shihai said it easily, as a family, both Hu Hualin and Hu Zhijun and even Hu Zhijun and his wife knew that the old man was really concerned this time. The more his old man looked relaxed outsiders, it was an important moment to make an important decision. When he asked casually at this time, he formally expressed his attitude of cooperating with Li Ran.
At this time, Hu Zhijun nodded solemnly and said, "We have already told him when we left. He agrees with your opinion. Whether it is troops or personnel, he will help us when we need it."
"Then have you told him about your third uncle's situation?" Ho Chi Minh asked from the side.
Hu Zhijun said, "He agreed that we will raid and capture the nearby territory, because the battle map lords, unless they are followers of the soul contract, have no real friends at all. Just give the city lords enough benefits at one time to keep this person neutral for the time being. At the same time, he will support our troops and let us take another territory as soon as possible, so that we can talk to the city lord equally and finally annex this person by developing and developing."
This plan is not surprising. Hu Hualin and others had even thought of it before, but it was one of the quickest ways to solve the embarrassing situation in front of them. So at this time, the Hu family and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
"Then how many troops can he support us?" Hu Huaming, as the chief of staff, asked first.
At this time, Wang Haiyan replied: "Li Ran also said that if the situation allows, he will reinforce our top-level troops of more than 1,500 and about 200 super-level troops."
Hearing this number, Hu Hualin couldn't help but lit up his eyes. With his current military strength, he had not dared to take the territory closest to him. He had never dared to attack before, mainly because he was afraid of another one. With these two top-level troops and 200, he was not afraid even if these two territories came together.
Thinking of the embarrassing situation that had been plaguing for several months, Hu Hualin couldn't help but feel energetic. Hu Shihai also smiled and said, "It seems that when the troops reach a certain level, the so-called strategy is also unnecessary. Well, let's leave this matter to you. Let's tell Li Ran that from now on, even if we have officially formed an alliance, you must find out how far apart your third uncle's territory is from Li Ran in the battle map. If it happens, maybe we can open an unexpected situation on the battle map."
