Chapter nine hundred and eighty seventh: Forcible siege
After Marquis Alicemo said this, the minister in front looked up at him and said, "Whether it is true or not, we can't sit still like this now, even if we just let this Garrera and the six-armed snake demons retreat to the underground world, it is worth it for us. If we continue to confront this, if we force the Garrera leader to form an alliance with the thief Mednachi, we will be in real trouble."
"What do you mean? Do you really want to ask Lord Tyres to send someone over and apologize! Then what is the dignity of our empire?" Marquis Alicemo couldn't help it and glared at the man and said loudly.
Seeing Marquis Alicemo getting angry, the man's face changed and did not dare to respond. However, the minister before said, "Under the extraordinary times, the extraordinary method is used. Now, there is the chief of Krachi who is eyeing him outside the empire, and there are the troubles between the Medenachi and the Tutanchi family. In addition, the Grinnada Empire behind them, if the six-armed snake demon is handed over, it can eliminate the threat of the underground army. I think Prince Telris's face alone cannot be more important than the safety of our entire empire."
Although he was a little dissatisfied, Elicimo knew that this person was an old minister who followed the old king all the way. He had great power in his hands and was unwilling to argue with him at this time. He looked at him without saying a word.
"We can also understand what you said, but the six-armed snake demon leader is a prisoner of Prince Telreus after all. Now that we don't let anyone go, what can we do? We can't lead troops to escort the six-armed snake demon leader," an earl said at this time.
"Nonsense! Since ancient times, captives belong to the victorious side, which is a matter of course and is also a provision in the Treaty of the Gods. Besides, Prince Tyrres may not know about this matter. Maybe it is just the people under his command to make trouble, and he will be treated as an invasion if he leads troops to the door." Hearing this, Marquis Alicemo could no longer help but glar at his eyes.
"That's not OK, that's not OK. We can't let this demon commander invade the empire." The minister just now couldn't help but say another sentence.
Seeing that everyone had no solution, King Yagles was also a little anxious at this time. After looking at his sister Pamela, he waved his hand to stop the meeting.
However, just as everyone left, seeing Pamela, Nigaro, and several of his close ministers being kept by the king, Elicimo's brow frowned slightly.
However, Li Ran, who was completely unaware of this, took advantage of the time when the army was about to arrive at the Ellus clan and the army began to rest, and he and his teammates also took off the line to prepare for a good rest, and to welcome the next fierce battle with the best mental state.
But just as they were having dinner in the restaurant, Zhou Xun found them and saw that there were too many people here, so he asked them to go to the lounge later.
Seeing Zhou Xun's expression in a hurry, the teammates knew something had happened, so they took a quick bite and followed him to the lounge.
"The situation is a bit bad! According to the revenge of the scouts, the demon commander Garrera personally led a 200,000 army to kill us." Zhou Xun closed the door casually and said directly.
At this time, Zhang Debiao said indifferently: "Isn't it just that he hasn't returned his lover? It's necessary to mobilize such a group of people. Besides, I want to attack us with just 200,000 people. I really think that our acropolis is made of paper."
Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. The empire always believed that this Garrera was the commander of a long-horned demon. It was not until this time after his true body came out that we knew that he was an alien-planet-destroying demon with a very terrifying ability. Although there seemed to be not many of his fellow tribesmen, only nearly a hundred people were discovered this time, but in addition to a large number of six-armed snake demons above the top level, Barol Flame Demon and some slaughter demons, his legion also had a slave epidemic demon of nearly 5,000 people. He was considered to be the long-horned demon because he regarded the commander of the slave epidemic demon as Garrera himself. These slave epidemic demons looked very much like the long-horned demon."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xun looked at his teammates and said with some concern: "Although these slave epidemic demons are only the lowest among the many evil demons, their strength is still above the legendary level. In addition, their average level above the top level, the strength of this demon legion is very terrible. With the less than 300,000 troops stationed in Taier City, we can't defend this demon legion at all."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, especially after learning from Zhou Xun's mouth that the opponent's military strength accounted for, even Li Ran frowned slightly. You must know that such troops are no longer inferior to them, and if they are fully defended, they will not be afraid. However, at this time, their high-level troops have entered the semi-plane and entered a state of combat readiness, and they cannot be tuned out at all.
"Is there any news in the capital? How long will this demon army arrive in Taier City?" Li Ran suddenly asked.
Zhou Xun sighed and said, "There has been no movement in the capital. We know that this matter is the information brought by Lord Elicimo. Then I asked the scouts to confirm that according to their marching speed, they can come here within four or five days at the latest."
"Damn, these guys who are traitors, we didn't tell them before. Now we are in trouble, and they don't even have any information," Zhang Debiao said angrily at this time.
After waving his hand, Li Ran looked at Zhou Xun and said, "It's not about this matter now. Regardless of whether the capital is doing it on purpose or not, since this demon army did not choose to pass through the capital, they have every reason to shirk responsibility. I believe that within the next two days, there will be information coming from there. If nothing unexpected happens, we should also send some troops to support us. What you have to do now is to evacuate the focus around the city as soon as possible, and also deploy more suspicious soldiers. At the same time, we will try our best to hold on to me for a few more days. After the war on our side is over, we will rush back as soon as possible."
After hearing Li Ran say this, Zhou Xun, who knew the situation was urgent, nodded heavily. After asking some questions, he immediately ran to the virtual warehouse.
At this time, everyone didn't have time to rest. After rejecting the previous relatively comprehensive but long-term combat plan, Li Ran thought about it and gave a new set of strong offensive combat plan. Although all the teammates felt that this plan was a bit risky, they were helpless at this time.
So next, everyone reconfirmed that except for a few teammates who had not had a rest for a long time, the others also followed Li Ran back to the Third World.
After a simple rest for a day, Li Ran resolutely decided to set off the army that morning and rushed to the periphery of the city in Ellus that evening and stationed.
After a battle, Li Ran's superior forces showed its advantages. Whether it was small-scale corps battles or large-scale air duels, although it had more powerful troops than the previous Erwin clan, Ellus finally had no choice but to choose to defend comprehensively. After such delays, two days passed again. The information came, and the periphery of Tel City had been attacked by the demon legion.
At this time, Li Ran's side could no longer wait. In the morning that day, although he knew that the opponent had set up a full-line defense, Li Ran resolutely issued an order to attack the whole line.
Fortunately, although the Ellus clan has the most solid city walls and defense system in this semi-plane, the number of high-level troops is not comparable to that of the Erwin clan, but apart from some epic golden dragons, emerald dragons and some enhanced semi-elf secret warriors, there are no mythical creatures like the Golden Dragon King. So after paying some troops, King Moluga and more than 30 ancient elves puppets also successfully opened the other party's door. At this time, Li Ran sent all the higher troops in one go.
Similar to the Erwin clan before, the half-elves here also lacked the baptism of war and lacked effective cooperation on the battlefield. In addition, the commander was unable to provide the most accurate tactics and countermeasures in time to address changes in the battlefield, which gave Li Ran and the others a lot of opportunities.
However, the troops here reached 700,000, which was 300,000 more than the 400,000 people that Li Ran and the others had barely collected. In terms of morale, these guys who regarded the Erwin clan as betrayers saw the half-elf warriors of the Erwin clan appearing on the battlefield, and hatred a stronger than invaders like Li Ran.
However, relatively speaking, the same is true for the soldiers of the Erwin clan under Li Ran. They were originally not very morale, but after seeing the Ellus clan, they burst out with a fighting spirit that surprised Li Ran even when they were not strong in their troops.
This is a war involving nearly one million people. Even after seeing that some orders could not be conveyed, Li Ran called out all teammates to let them enter the front line to ensure that his instructions could be implemented as soon as possible.
After a whole day of fighting, the soldiers on the front line were replaced several times. Even the King of Golden Dragon Azaret was seriously injured and could not fight again. Li Ran was still unable to win completely, which made his teammates and some tribal leaders a little anxious.
Fortunately, their soldiers were so tired that they could not be beaten, and the soldiers of the Elus tribe opposite were even more so. After a day of cruel battle, their casualties were far higher than those of Li Ran's side, and even their morale dropped a lot. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, they had to use a main road in the city as the boundary, and both sides defended one side.
Although the two sides reached a truce as the sky was getting darker, at night, the battle here began in another more tragic way.
