Hearing Li Ran's praise, Zhou Xun smiled and continued, "But so far, we have not found any situations in the Castle Lord who colluded with them. We only learned from the capital that two Castle Lords participated. One of the Castle Lords is the famous Barol Flame Desnake. He is one of the overlords of the seven-story space known to the Iopher Underground World. He commands nearly half of this space, with a demon legion of about 300,000, and is very powerful."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xun continued: "As for the other one, the demon lord Bunitaxiu, it is said that she is a six-armed snake demon. Although there are only nearly 100,000 legions, the space she is in is more hidden and stable. So far, the empire has not found a coordinate entrance, and her 100,000 legions are all of the same clan troops, so in terms of overall strength, it is not much worse than the Lord of the Barol Flame Demon Disnek."

When Zhou Xun said this, everyone also had a certain understanding of the situation in front of them. They couldn't help but sigh that the capital was not lucky. It would be fine if the major dukes of their own empire had external intentions, but there were no effective management measures, which led them to a slow growth in the end and now they are forced into a dead end.

As the crowd talked, Doric explained: "Actually, the old king handed over the Dark Forest and the Iopher underground map to these people to guard. In fact, his original intention was to enter the sea world, which was also one of the reasons why he built the capital there and built the harbor so large. Among them, the Roaring Island located in the northwest of the Iopher coast, although it is called an island, but its area is one-third of the size of the Empire, and the specialties and materials there are very rich, far from comparable to the Iopher underground world and the Dark Forest. If it is occupied, the strength of the old king will quickly be upgraded to the level of a medium-sized empire or even a large empire."

Hearing his words, everyone present who didn't know about it couldn't help but look surprised. It seemed that the old king also thought that these dukes would gradually become stronger because of this, but he was attracted to another larger area.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Dorik sighed and said, "But who knew that when the old king was preparing to show his fists and kicks, this Roaring Island was jointly announced by the Holy Falcon Alliance Empire on the opposite coast and the Salanka Empire. One of these two is the human super empire after the alliance, including several super empires and several large empires, and the other is a very powerful super empire of barbarians. Their strength is far from the same as the empires like Grinnada. So the old king had no choice but to turn to the forest of the Dead in the west. Finally, because he was too radical for a while, he suffered irreparable injuries in a war, so his old age was so dismal."

Unexpectedly, there was such a reason. When everyone present sighed after hearing Doric's explanation, except for Li Ran and a few people who were known, they all sighed.

After Doric said this and everyone chatted for a while, Li Ran also looked at Zhou Xun and said, "The capital is urging us so urgently. It is not good if we don't go there. However, for the Chief Krach, you still have to increase your reconnaissance efforts. A duke of a medium-sized empire, his actions have a significant impact on our next actions. There are also those Castle Lords, trying to find out their relationship with the plan and related information as soon as possible."

After hearing Li Ran's words, Zhou Xun naturally had no problem. After seeing him saying that the number of people in the investigation would increase, Li Ran discussed with everyone the number of troops sent, and finally decided to maintain it as last time, basically at around 100,000.

If Li Ran came back this time, he first sent troops to the capital to fight with the Great Chief of Krach, then led his troops into the dark forest to fight Duke Sels away, and finally entered the half plane and went through several months of war. Now he has to send troops to the capital again, and may have to fight with Duke Mednachi and the underground demons of Ioff. The pressure on his spirit is indeed a bit great, so after some consideration, he decided to take a few days off first and give himself and the soldiers a holiday.

A few days later, when the imperial capital learned that the Duke of Terres had begun to set off, King Agles and the ministers were undoubtedly shocked. In the previous battle in the city of Marquis of Silitus, the empire's second defeat made them finally realize their shortcomings in dealing with such large-scale wars.

Including Pamela and Duke Nigaro, the former was because of the care of the old king, while the latter was a hereditary title and experienced fewer wars. Even the wars commanded before were wars of less than 100,000 people.

As for the military and political chief Toltaylor, although he had a lot of knowledge, most of them had just followed the old king to obey the command before. When encountering real wars, he was inevitably a little confused. In addition, his previous experience of being captured greatly reduced his prestige in the army, and it was really difficult to command an army of hundreds of thousands.

It can be said that all their hopes are now with Duke Telris. At this time, King Agles couldn't help but regret his decision at that time. So when this person brought the army into the capital more than ten days later, he personally greeted him at the entrance of the city, and enthroned the Duke Telris on the spot with the name of Festus in front of the name, becoming the second prince of the Khanlok Empire.

Although he didn't care much about the title of Prince, Li Ran was very happy to think that after he was granted the title of 300 more guards, and the war space could be increased significantly. After several months, Li Ran accepted the flowers and praises of the people here to welcome the people.

After several days of discussion and research, Li Ran sent troops from the capital again. At this time, in addition to his own more than 100,000 people, the number of soldiers even reached more than 300,000 in one fell swoop. Most of them were soldiers in the capital, and there were also soldiers of Prince Pamela and Duke Nigaro, and their target was the big city that Cilitus was captured.

If Marquis of Silitus and a large number of logistics support personnel were added at this time, they had invested a total of nearly 700,000 people for this war, creating the largest number of soldiers Li Ran has led so far.

"Prince Telris, I didn't expect you to help me regain the city this time. Thank you so much." That night, when the troops set up camp, Marquis of Silitus came to express his gratitude in person.

Because he is a mage of the Tower Clan, Marquis of Silitus rarely appears outside the world. He is already old and thin and energetic. Perhaps because of long-term closed-door research, his ability to express language is inevitably limited, so that after this somewhat stiff thanks, the following text is gone, which makes the scene a little awkward.

Fortunately, Prince Pamela and a group of accompanying city lords were present at this time. After a few jokes to resolve this embarrassment, they asked Li Ran how to win this battle and regain the castle of Marquis Cilitus.

Li Ran also smiled and said, "It's just a war. Fortunately, after the victory of the Medenache, I heard that there were not many people stationed in the Marquis' city, but only about 100,000 people. We not only have several times more legions than his, but also have siege cars brought from the capital. Are you still afraid that you can't win?"

"You can think like this. This is just preliminary information. After our army is coming, Mednache will definitely increase troops. You must not take it lightly." Hearing Li Ran's words, Xilitus said quickly.

Although this person did not go out often because of his identity as the King's teacher, he was highly respected throughout the empire. Seeing that Telres was so careless, it was a little anxious about his city.

But at the same time, Prince Pamela and others, especially the city lords who were familiar with Li Ran, frowned slightly, thinking that this old guy was really confused. Prince Tyrres still said this to you. He said that he had not made the final decision yet. You, a person who lost the city, did not show up in the capital for so many days, and even if someone became the prince, he would not congratulate you now, now he is taking back the castle. Is it necessary to explain how to act? We just asked this, just to give you a step.

However, Li Ran had no opinion on this. After all, these masters who specialize in research are like this. If he is as eloquent as those city lords and ministers, he might not be able to become the strongest mage in the empire and the current king's teacher.

Looking at the somewhat proud and worried marquis, Li Ran smiled and said, "My lord is right, I will ask them to send additional investigators soon."

After hearing Prince Telres's words, the king nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, although he belonged to the ally, he had never thought much of this Lord Telres. He believed that this man was just a warrior who could fight. If the old king was alive, this man could only be an officer at most, and it would be difficult to be named a knight.

Although the mage's character made the Marquis of Silitus not care much about the level of the title, the warrior actually climbed up to him, especially this time, he was directly named Prince by his disciple, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why others went to pay tribute to this person during his time in the capital, but he kept hiding in the palace and did not appear. It was not until this time that he sent troops that he brought people to chase him on the third day.
