Chapter nine hundred and seventy-eight: plane battle
So when it comes to this person's clamor, Li Ran directly ordered someone to drive him out, and the next day he directly imprisoned the man in prison on the grounds that he was unable to supervise the battle with Mednache.
Unexpectedly, Prince Telris's attitude would be so strong after coming this time. The city lords who had wanted to plead with him, including Prince Pamela, were slightly surprised. After thinking for a long time, they chose to avoid it. Only Marquis Elicimo ran to the prince's camp without hesitation, not only letting him release the adjutant, but also scolding the prince.
When the news came, several city lords here, including Prince Pamela, couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time they also had a little understanding of the prince's character. This person is a person with a temperament. Although he has become a little stronger with his strength, he is still very loyal to his former colleagues and friends. Otherwise, he would not have been taught a lesson by Marquis Elicimo and personally led him to escort him back to the base.
After reaching such a conclusion, everyone felt much more relieved, including several adjutants from the capital. At this time, they were sure of their hearts and favored the prince during the chat. Although they did not say it clearly, they couldn't help but complain about the previous Greeksus and the adjutant.
"You said this is the same. If it weren't for Prince Tyrres this time, we could capture this place. Without saying that they had lost so many high-level troops, they just went to search for some things and you were still in trouble. Are you looking for death?"
"I thought my master was a great thing to be named Duke, and I didn't look at who the other party was. Besides, what they were plundering was not yours!"
"And if we followed the strategy of Marquis of Silitus this time, we would have been surrounded by the opponent's army long ago. Maybe we will be finished now."
"You're right. This time it's obviously a trap set by the other party. We only have 300,000 troops. The other party suddenly came over more than 400,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 people in the city. If you are surrounded, you will be dead."
"It's still our Prince Tyrris who is powerful. He dragged the other party's army with just one hundred thousand people, and he can come to rescue us later. It's a bit incredible to think about it."
"But Prince Tyres is strong enough now. No matter what Marquis of Silitus or Duke of Nica, he will be arrested by him if he gets into trouble."
"You don't understand this. Our prince is a person of temperament. I saw that night when he was taught a lesson by Marquis Elicimo, he laughed and nodded from beginning to end, and finally escorted the house back in person. And I heard that he was targeting the Duke of Nica in this way, but he was not satisfied with the king giving him the position of Duke of Duke and not granting the Marquis of Elicimo."
"Thinking about it is really possible. If you can become the prince's friend like Lord Elicimo, it will definitely be a very comfortable thing."
"Being strong and fierce to the enemy and being stingy to friends is the responsibility of a man. He is better than those of Sels before. No one offends him on the surface, but his heart is extremely bad. He doesn't know that he died at their hands that day."
"Yeah, you're right. You can get along with such a person to rest assured, so you can only not offend him. Look at him when he assigned prisoners this time, he also distributed many good troops to us, especially those who were good to him. This lord wished he could hand over all the high-level troops to them."
In this way, a few days later, when the capital sent to take over the people, the army here began to return one after another. During this period, when the prince went to search everywhere, some city lords even took the initiative to send people to cooperate just to get in touch with the prince to facilitate future interactions with each other. If they could become his friend, it would be the best.
On the way back to the capital, Li Ran left with some guards in advance when there were some troops in Taier City. As for his own troops, he followed Prince Pamela's army and handed them over to the capital by Cao Dayong and others.
After this war, Li Ran believed that this side would be stable for a while, and he did not want to waste his time on the so-called celebration banquet and irrelevant things.
After returning to Tel City, he first handed the six-armed snake demon leader Bunitaxi to Kunasoyed, asking him to remove her life contract at all costs. At the same time, after meeting and chatting with the Three Prophets of Zerira for a while, he led the team to the half-elves plane again, hoping to lay the foundation there as soon as possible.
After the last battle, although the two major forces here dared not attack for a while, Li Ran knew very well that their strength here was still insufficient, and they just relied on the emergence of high-level troops and the appearance of the Demon Luga King to temporarily shock the other party.
Fortunately, after this period of recruitment, although their headquarters still had few troops here, and the previous war loss was only about 8,000, the surrender of a large number of half-elf prisoners quickly increased their total strength to more than 50,000.
When he found Shadow Blade, he was leading a team to encircle some scouts. After seeing Li Ran coming, he first asked about the situation in the capital. After learning that there had been a victory there, he also reported the situation in Li Ran.
What is somewhat disappointing is that judging from the territory we currently have, the minerals in this semi-plane are not abundant. Apart from some rare crystal ores, sulfur ore seems to be the largest source of minerals here. As for some rare wood specialties, Li Ran does not have high requirements for them, and at most it can only be used as exchange materials.
Although Li Ran was a little disappointed when he heard such an analysis report, what they could see so far was the tip of the iceberg. In addition, most of the territory has not been developed yet, so everything still needs to be developed.
At the same time, as they had already captured many half-elves, they also learned about the general situation of this half-elves from these half-elves. For this reason, Shadow Blade also specially made a simple magic map.
From this magic map, we can see that the two largest forces in this semi-plane are located, and the troops stationed in them exceed 500,000, and there are seven large tribes with more than 100,000. The closest one is two hundred kilometers away, but the camp belongs to the Erwin clan, who is more than human-managed.
Although it was a bit different from the previous plan, after several days of research, Li Ran finally decided to set his next goal. As for what he needs to do now, he continued to recruit prisoners and deal with some nearby small and medium-sized tribes.
A few days later, when Li Ran and the others successively destroyed two small and medium-sized tribes, another group of 500 troops entered here under the leadership of Zhang Juan. They were all dragon clan legions, most of which were legendary green dragons, and some black dragons and red dragons.
With this huge dragon clan army, Li Ran's advancement speed significantly accelerated a lot. In addition, the shadow blade had almost wiped out the surrounding area before, and at this time their troops were aiming directly at that large territory.
After summoning about 2,000 high-ranking troops, Li Ran, Xia Houben and Yingbian, and with more than 40,000 soldiers, finally conquered this large territory with 130,000 troops. After summoning all the personnel, Li Ran also moved the plane teleportation array here.
In order to speed up the development efforts here, Li Ran even transferred several teammates from various territories in one breath. While transferring the supplies from this large territory to the battle map, he once again locked the target on a large territory in the northeast direction.
"Brother Ran, although these large territories have a surprising amount of supplies due to years of savings, will our rapid development be a little radical? If Erwin's side attracts full attack, they will not be like the capital of our Khanlok Empire. I am afraid that he will gather other half-elves leader to attack us." Cai Chang, who came over, asked worriedly that night.
Li Ran nodded and said, "I have considered this issue, but the span of our current battlefield is a bit too scattered. In addition, the current Dark Forest is really unable to spend too long in this semi-plane, so we can only separate people to do other things after solving it as soon as possible. As for taking risks, there is no way. I sent a message to Qian Hui and Huan Bing Nannan yesterday. They should be on the way back. With their troops coming again, I just need to take down Erwin's side."
After hearing Li Ran say this, everyone realized that Huan Bing Nannan and Qian Hui were coming back. At this time, they couldn't help but nod and started the next plan.
Since they had already decided to deal with the Erwin clan first, their next goal was naturally the tribe in this area. Fortunately, with the support of many high-level troops, they also conquered the city and land unimpeded. Until noon that day, when they were still excited to capture another large territory, the situation that Cai Chang had expected finally happened. Erwin's side actually assembled nearly 400,000 troops and came to kill them in a mighty manner.
This is a war that concerns whether they can survive here. If the empire sees the high-level troops prepared by Li Ran for this battle at this time, it will definitely make them sweat. In addition to the more than 80,000 natural-plane warriors who have been recruited, Li Ran's side, after Qian Hui and Huan Bing Nannan returned, in this half-elf plane, the legendary high-level troops reached more than 7,000, which is several times more than the outside world's expected more than 1,000 people.
And the most terrifying thing among them is that among the more than 7,000 legendary ranks and above, the number of legendary ranks has reached nearly 2,000, and there are nearly 300 epic creatures and a more terrifying Destruction King Ruga.
