Chapter 350: Besieged
beckoned, Li Ran let the hunter leader come to his side, and once again carefully inquired about the investigation around the territory in the past few days, when he learned that some small monster nests around him had been wiped out in the past few days, Li Ran did not hesitate to give his praise, especially after learning that they also occupied a stronghold that produced kobolds, Li Ran was even more happy, you must know that this is the first monster stronghold he obtained in the campaign map, which is commonly known as the heart of the creature.
"Have you figured out the details of the stronghold?" Li Ran asked with a smile.
Hunter leader Histan nodded: "If you go back to your lordship, the production cycle of this stronghold is 40 days, and the day before yesterday happened to be the production day of the stronghold, and 7 second-order kobold soldiers were recruited from it."
As a profession in the third world, Li Ran has also studied the data before, so he also has some general understanding of the heart of the stronghold or the heart of the creature, different from the ordinary biological nest, although the biological stronghold is also one of them, but in fact, it is a small space fragment, there is an environment suitable for the survival of a certain biological group, so there will also be a dominant race, but because the space in the fragment is too small, the number of creatures that can survive in it is limited, Every once in a while, there will be creatures cleared out of the space by the patriarch to ensure the stability of the living space, and these cleared creatures will naturally form groups or even large nests in groups in order to survive. Therefore, where there is a nest, there may not be a stronghold heart fragment, but where there are stronghold fragments, most of the places with stronghold fragments will have a race or nest formed by the creatures in the fragment, and over time, this group or nest will become more and more powerful due to the large number of warriors and laborers provided by the stronghold heart.
And as the owner of the stronghold or fragments. You can recruit soldiers from the clans in the heart of the stronghold on time, and the level and number of creatures recruited are naturally closely related to the races in the heart of the stronghold. The number of warriors a clan can provide is determined by the size of the fragment space, so even if it is the same creature stronghold. The number of creatures that can be recruited and the production cycle are different.
The production cycle of this stronghold obtained by yourself is 40 days, the number of recruits is 7, and the level is second-order. Although it is not very useful, it is better than nothing, and a few more people have more efforts after all.
"Who's stationed over there now?" After a while, Li Ran asked.
Histen, the leader of the hunters, hurriedly replied, "It was Lord Doric who sent two knights and a few of my men to guard there."
Li Ran thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can restore that stronghold and relocate it to the territory."
Histan said with some surprise: "Honorable lord, that stronghold has been generated, and if you forcibly move the ground like this, it will disrupt the order of the internal space of the stronghold. If it is not done well, it will be damaged and disappear, and even if it is successful, there is a high chance that the production quality will be reduced! ”
Li Ran looked at him and said, "With our current situation, there are no extra troops to garrison, so it's better to try your luck than to let it stay outside and be occupied or taken away by others."
Knowing that Li Ran was telling the truth, the hunter Histen, who felt a little pity, nodded helplessly: "Understood, I'll do it right away!" ”
After giving a sigh of gratitude, Li Ran talked with him for a while, and finally advised: "The focus of the investigation is still to the east of the territory. If there is a situation, you must inform me as soon as possible"
Seeing that Li Ran said cautiously, the hunter leader Histan bent down and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, this time will definitely live up to your trust."
Li Ran smiled and said, "Of course, you must also pay attention to safety, the development of the territory is inseparable from you." I've worked hard for you during this time, and I'll give you credit after that."
As the latter saluted and left, Li Ran, who was sitting on the chair, just wanted to stand up and take a look around the territory. As soon as the door opened, little Aimel was the first to run in, followed by Wu Tongtong.
"Why did you come back so soon? What about your other two classes? He patted little Amel on the head. Li Ran looked at Wu Tongtong and asked.
Wu Tongtong shrugged and smiled bitterly: "Requisitioned by your subordinates"
"Requisitioned?" Li Ran asked with some puzzlement
Wu Tongtong explained for a while, originally she followed Tang Zhi to wander around the territory. During the small talk, her wood spirit guard saw that there were many wooden houses in the territory. On a whim, he said that he could strengthen all the wooden buildings, and used his skills on an idle stable, but unfortunately he was discovered by the old village chief Morga, who was passing by, and borrowed the wood spirit guard from Wu Tongtong under the soft grinding and hard bubble, and the elven priest of another class was also borrowed by him in the name of helping to recover his strength.
Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but smile slightly, this village chief of his own was really doing his best, and at the same time, thinking about the current situation in the territory, he couldn't help but say to the wood spirit guard in his heart You are in trouble.
"Master, what are we going to do next" Although he was a little worried about the wood spirit guards, but he could do his part for the territory, Wu Tongtong was still very happy in his heart, with an energetic expression.
Walking out of the council hall, Li Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait for the news of the hunters, and you will be busy in the future."
After gossiping for a while, Li Ran was about to go to see the spirit Ke Jiaxi and ask him how his research was. Suddenly, a war horse came running from a distance, and immediately carried two people, a knight and the old village chief Morga. And after seeing Li Ran, the knight hurriedly jumped off his horse and ran to him in three steps and two steps and said, "My lord, it's not good, Lord Doric and your men have been ambushed in the habitat."
Li Ran was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the old village chief Morga, at this time, Morgaye also ran in front of him, and explained anxiously that it turned out that Doric and Zerilamo Orc Captain Tulga went to a nearby village to check the situation, and found that there were still many survivors inside, so he wanted to bring these people back to the territory. Who knew that on the way, I happened to encounter an orc tribe that was migrating, and the two sides fought without saying anything, and Dorik and them had to retreat to a small mountain col to defend hard, and sent two knights to rush out to report the news, one of them was surrounded by wolf cavalry, and only he ran back.
"Wu Tongtong, hurry up and contact the Shadow Blade and they will gather here" The situation was urgent, Li Ran didn't wait for Morga to finish speaking, he opened his mouth and gave an order to Wu Tongtong, and at the same time looked at the knight and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" What classes are there? ”
Seeing that Li Ran's face sank like water, the knight, who was panting, hurriedly replied: "When I rushed out, there were about two hundred bear goblins over there, about a hundred wolf cavalry, and some giant hammer warriors and dwarves."
With the help of Barranca's guards, Li Ran quickly put on his equipment and said to the old village chief Morga: "You should quickly send a few people with fast legs and feet to find Master Liexi, and let him bring the gargoyle to pick us up as soon as possible when he comes back, and at the same time, when we leave, you can send a few more people to follow us separately, so that it is convenient for Master Liexi to guide them in a while."
Hearing Li Ran say this, the old village chief Morga reacted and nodded again and again, and he hurriedly went down to arrange manpower for his old friend, and at the same time, he also admired Li Ran's unfazed attitude and quick handling of the matter, and felt that his previous decision was not wrong.
In less than a while, Shadow Blade and the others had heard the news and rushed over, in order to hurry up, Li Ran took the lead in summoning the mount Moon Stone Beast, and everyone turned over on their mounts when they saw this, calling the knight just now to let him lead the way in front, and the group quickly ran towards the destination.
Half an hour later, Li Ran and the others, who were marching rapidly, faintly saw the wolf smoke stirred up by a small cluster of mountains and forests in front of them, and the sound of the collision of blades also entered their ears from time to time.
I don't know if it was because of the fear of too many casualties, the orc tribe did not invest all their forces, and the attack was not very fierce, except for the lone form that surrounded Doric and Tulgar and others, and only the bear goblins rushed in front, and the dwarves who did not dare to get close and only held short bows and crossbows to harass constantly. The wolf cavalry and hammer warriors mostly waited for their time behind, but if the knight or Zeriramo orc warrior was entangled or dragged out of the battle line by the bear goblin, they would rush out and quickly surround and kill them.
Li Ran glanced at the fallen clusters of bright silver armor-like objects in the orc battlefield, and it was not surprising that they should be the cavalry killed in battle, and he was depressed for a while. Before the battle he expected began, there were already casualties among the high-level troops, which really distressed him, but when he saw the huge dragon beast that was about to fall in the field, he was even more anxious.
Looking around at the surroundings again, Li Ran waved his hand, and Tang Shi and the others quickly surrounded him.
Li Ran pointed to the orc who was obviously the leader at the back of the orc battlefield, at this time the leader may not be satisfied with the attack of the wolf cavalry, and kept waving the huge iron weapon in his hand like a mace, roaring angrily and ordering the wolf cavalry to carry out a surprise attack, behind him was a group of orc warriors who looked similar to him, there were about thirty of them, but the one in his hand was a thick wooden hammer.
