Seeing that this guy was really active, he knew the general situation of Li Ran and the others with just a few words. Hu Hualin also smiled and said nothing. Although the two sides are now in close cooperation and have no interest in each other, in the army, things that concern face still have to be fought for.

You should know that they agreed to come to their battle map this time. It was a cooperation, but it was actually a disguised refuge. This incident made the old man happy for a long time before. Every time he met Uncle Wang, he would show off. If they were asked to contact Li Ran, with the latter's current methods, they might really help them open up the situation. At that time, let alone defection, it would be hard to say whether they cooperate. After all, there is only one contribution, and it is naturally better to share two people than to enjoy it alone.

Seeing that the Chief Hu was not going to go into details about this matter, the man smiled and did not continue to ask. After talking about the specific steps for a while, he also took his people back to the city.

"This guy! It's indeed a soldier brought by Uncle Wang. He looks weak and as smart as a monkey. He also wants to inquire about Li Ran from me. He thinks of it very beautiful!" After seeing this person leave, Hu Hualin couldn't help but whisper.

What he didn't know was that just a few hours later, when the Commander Liao returned to the city, he immediately chose to go offline and knocked on Commander Wang's door.

At noon that day, the army led by Li Ran and his teammates were finally about to reach the target location of the trip. For safety reasons, after arranging the army to station in a relatively wide area, Li Ran personally led a team to investigate the situation of the Sails stronghold.

Under the leadership of the scout leader Hestan, they had been rushing for a long time. On a small hill, Li Ran and others finally saw the stronghold where the Duke of Sels was located in the distance.

From the surface alone, this territory is not very outstanding. Except for its larger scale than ordinary territory, it is only similar to a small city at most. At this time, the gate here is closed. Obviously, after learning that they have arrived, they are already in a state of war readiness, and warriors in armor are everywhere on the city walls.

In order to beware of their reconnaissance team, Li Ran and the others did not stay here for too long, but after using the skills to broaden their horizons, they also saw that the inner city of the castle was indeed a little different from the outer city. After seeing that there were indeed nine giant cylinders around the inner city castle, they also admitted in their hearts the judgment of the High Elf Captain.

So now the last question is how to occupy a territory with more troops than them when it is difficult to directly break through the city defense.

During the observations in the next two days, they also affirmed the judgment of the scout leader Histan. Duke Sels did have hidden troops here. At this time, the number of soldiers in this small territory had exceeded 100,000.

However, despite nearly twice the number of troops than himself, Li Ran was not afraid of facing a head-on battle. He brought all the high-level troops this time. Although he did suffer some casualties in the middle, the Winged Snake Man's accompanying team reduced the casualties to the lowest level. Now there are about 42,000 troops, and nearly half of them are super-level or above. He believes that he is not weaker than the other party in the ranks of higher-level troops.

And I have another advantage, that is, the legendary and above troops that I can summon at any time. Although they cannot use their individual strength to decide the victory of a large war, they can instantly break the deadlock of the war and effectively increase the morale of their own side.

In addition, what Li Ran did not announce to the public is that he paid such sacrifice items in the capital last time. In addition to the small number of archangels and temple warriors displayed to the king and the others, the main thing he obtained was the expansion of the lord's war space. He can now recruit 990 warriors in one breath, and the number of troops he can carry was nearly one-third more than before, reaching more than 3,000.

With this high-ranking regiment of nearly 1,000 people, Li Ran believes that even if his troops are less than half of the opponent's troops, it will be no problem to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

But now the opponent has a defensive advantage and has this almost impossible inner city to break through, Li Ran has no confidence in a battle, so after thinking about it for a while, he decided to take another plan, which is to be patient with this duke.

At noon the next day, with Li Ran's order, the stationed army began to move and came directly to an empty area more than ten miles away from the other side and stationed. And with the leadership of their teammates, they began to build defensive fortifications here.

Unexpectedly, the other party was stationed dozens of miles away from him for two days. After a sudden march today, he still did not launch an attack, and he blatantly built fortifications outside his territory. This made Duke Sels a little confused.

But as a commander, he would not be like those rash city lords. He would be furious when he saw such provocation. At this time, after sending a large number of scouts to investigate, he found that the other party was on guard and prepared for the battle, the former Duke of Sels couldn't help but smile coldly.

He has been guarding here for decades and has laid countless eyeliners in this dark forest, including the biological groups that Li Ran encountered along the way, many of which were his eyes and ears, so he knew very well where his advantages were between him and the Duke of Terres.

It has to be said that the strength of this Duke of Telris's army was indeed beyond his expectations. Not to mention the epic creatures that have not appeared yet, the Shura Corps with nearly 10,000 people surprised him. He did not expect that the duke would actually have such a terrible legion. In addition, the other party's more famous elves, Taurus, Losso and Giant Warriors, the other party brought out nearly 10,000 warriors above the top in one breath, and even he was a little shocked.

But he also has his own advantages. The 120,000 legions he stationed here are nearly three times the number of the opponent. Moreover, those who can be here are their own elite corps, most of which are top-level or above troops. Although they are not as good as the opponent in terms of super-level or above troops, and he has only more than 10,000 people, but with a defensive advantage, he is full of confidence in defending this place, and all this is due to his confidence in this castle.

As for the higher creatures of the other party at the legendary level or even epic level, although Duke Sels did not know the specific number, he believed that the number of people could not be too large. In addition to some ordinary giant crossbows of the city guard, he also had more than 40 expensive star-breaking crossbows, so he was very at ease in this regard.

His greatest advantage lies in defense, so this forbearing duke would never attempt to leave the city and raid because of a small move by the other party. The facts also proved his thoughts. The other party had obviously been prepared for a long time. I am afraid that before his side rushed over, what he waited for would be the other party's head-on attack.

On Li Ran's side, after building these basic fortifications, Li Ran began to clean up without hesitation. With Xia Houben and others leading the team away, all creatures within a range of nearly 50 kilometers became their targets, which naturally included Duke Sels' scouts, more than 100 sphinc wolfs above the legendary rank, and some high elves patrolling the patrol, wandering around this territory every day. In just a few days, nearly 300 scouts and sentries were killed.

At this moment, the use of the higher troops was also reflected. Faced with these biological troops that were as strong as the wind and were powerful, even Duke Sails was a little depressed, but he had no good idea for these Sphink giant wolf and the high elves patrols in formations.

With the territory under full monitoring, although he wanted to eliminate these troops, and he believed that he had the ability to use the higher troops in his hands to settle these high elves and Sphink giant wolf, these guys were moving too fast, and it was impossible to pursue them. If the siege tactic was adopted, the time spent would be enough for Duke Telris's fast troops to arrive.

So a few days later, this place had basically become an isolated city. In the end, even the local biomes outside were supposed to send people to attract them at the beginning of the war, but at this time they were culled by Duke Telris in advance.

At this time, Duke Sels couldn't help but think of burning the other party's food and grass again, because in the dark forest, if tens of thousands of troops had no food and grass, he would definitely have to retreat or attack in advance. However, when he ventured to launch a raid with a corps late that night, he found that the other party was prepared for it. Facing the sudden emergence of Sir warriors, his 2,000 corps and more than 100 fire divisions, he finally returned only more than 300 people and suffered the biggest blow so far.

After a few days like this, seeing that the other party still showed no sign of siege, he saw the soldiers in the city again. Because of the siege of being trapped for too long, Duke Sels knew that his trouble was coming.

Fortunately, most of the warriors who were able to follow him after he betrayed the empire were confidants who had followed him for many years, so although this fear appeared, it was still within his controllable range.

But at this moment, after all the hidden dangers around him had been cleared, Li Ran began to attack the outer city of this territory. The attack method was very simple, which was to take advantage of the high elves' long-range attack advantages. So early the next morning, when more than 200 high elves archers appeared on the battlefield unscrupulously, the nightmare of Duke Sels' side began.
