Therefore, Li Ran immediately decided to attack, and that night, nearly 2,000 middle and high-level troops slowly pulled out, accompanied by dozens of top troops, including five of them who were the captain of the Zereramo orcs. On the third day, at noon, he captured the dungeon and captured its leader, a Thirteenth-Order Dark Witch. In addition, there are dozens of high-level troops and more than 200 middle-level troops.

The only thing that made Li Ran feel pity was that in this war, he lost a few more frost mastiffs, which reduced the number of frost mastiffs to less than 60, but fortunately, in the battle, a few more frost mastiffs successfully advanced, so the overall strength did not drop much.

In the routine meeting that night, Li Ran's topic naturally talked about the undead cemetery that is very close to them now, through the scout leader Histan reconnaissance some time ago, because of the reason why the dungeon forces gathered to attack them before, the undead cemetery has also increased troops from other places one after another, at this time the high-level troops in its cemetery have exceeded 800 people, of which the undead warriors are the mainstay, the number is about 600 people, and the other two hundred are some undead witch corpses and twelfth-order fear knights.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 mid-level walking corpses and ghosts in that cemetery, and there are 3,000 low-level troops, most of which are skeleton soldiers and skeleton archers that are not lacking in the undead race.

Hearing the other party's situation, everyone in the territory couldn't help but smile slightly, obviously very confident in their own side, and even looked down on the undead forces who had been cowering.

But in Li Ran's opinion, although such a force can no longer pose a threat to the territory, but with the addition of here, there are already two necroperies of the undead behind him at this time, and there are thousands of high-level troops and 2,000 middle-level troops together, if they lose the advantage of troops, the situation at that time will be even more dangerous.

Because as they move forward in their territory in the underworld. The distance from the surface territory is extended, if they are defeated, even retreating is a very dangerous thing, who knows if these two necropolishes will take advantage of the fire to loot and completely wipe them out in the underground world, so Li Ran feels that he is now on pins and needles. What is urgently needed is not the expansion of power, but the elimination of the surrounding threats, or even the opening of a path back to the surface.

Except for a few teammates present, most of them were his henchmen and the main personnel of the territory, so Li Ran did not hide, and after signaling everyone to be quiet, he said his thoughts.

And after listening to Li Ran's words, everyone couldn't help frowning. Completely without the disdain for the undead forces just now, the entire territory is at stake, the lives of tens of thousands of people, every step taken at this time cannot be wrong, and thinking of the situation that the lord said, everyone shuddered, thought for a while, and gave their opinions.

Someone saw that he was looking for a reason to directly end the two graveyards of the dead. But considering the current situation of the territory, I am afraid that the other party will form an alliance. There has been an effort being made, and it is clear that this idea is not appropriate, at least not at the moment.

After thinking for a long time, everyone was at a loss, and then Doric suddenly said, "My lord, since we now occupy this town. With such a dangerous situation, why don't we take the initiative to take a step back and return to the town we used to be, which will also make the Dungeon forces suspend their attention from us, in case they make a frantic counterattack."

I looked at everyone present. Although most of the expressions were a little disapproving, Li Ran, as a lord, showed a thoughtful expression, and Doric thought for a while and continued: "Our original plan was to use the terrain advantage of the previous territory to hold the passage of the underground world in order to develop. Although because of the last war, we took advantage of the lack of troops on the other side and took the initiative to capture the city, but it will also receive special attention from both the dungeon and the undead, and we are now retreating, not only selling a favor to the dungeon forces, but also avoiding the status quo of being stuck by two undead graveyards at the same time, as long as our surface towns are built, and then we will expand our troops, we will have the capital to negotiate with these two forces, even if we come to destroy these two territories again, I believe that the other party will not dare to take us what to do."

After saying so much in one breath, Doric couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, although he knew that the lord trusted him very much, but what he had done before was mostly diplomatic work, this was the first time he had said such a bold leading opinion at a meeting, and he directly gave up a piece of territory, so after speaking, he couldn't help but look at everyone with some worry, lest they would blame themselves for it.

However, at this moment, a round of applause rang out, and everyone looked at it, only to see that Li Ran had stood up at this time, and it was he who applauded.

Glancing at Doric and the others, Li Ran nodded and said solemnly: "During this period of time, the development of the territory is very fast, many people, including myself, will inevitably act a little impatient and hasty, such as this attack on this city, I just saw the benefits but did not think of the consequences at all, so I rushed to send troops, although the victory but also let the entire territory fall into crisis, fortunately, Lord Doric reminded and thought of a way, I hope everyone will take this as a warning, and be more calm in the future"

At the same time, Li Ran suddenly announced: "From now on, according to Lord Doric's decision, all of our troops will withdraw from this territory, Histan, you are responsible for arranging personnel to contact the dungeon forces as soon as possible."

At this moment, with the lord's lead and decision, everyone couldn't help but applaud Doric, especially the old village chief Morga, who was still very happy, and kept looking at his long-time companion Doric and giving him a thumbs up.

As for Doric himself, he was naturally very excited at the moment, not only because of the applause of everyone, but also because of the lord's affirmation and support for his opinions, and at the same time, he also deeply felt that the lord was a decisive person, and a piece of territory could also be said to be put down, thinking of this, he couldn't help but bow slightly to Li Ran.

When Li Ran led the team back to his previous territory, he didn't have time to take a break. Ian Hheld, the vampire Earl who got the news, came looking for him. He angrily questioned why Li Ran would give up the dungeon territory he had occupied.

Because he was afraid of causing misunderstanding on the other side, Li Ran had to patiently explain, claiming that he was only a soldier who had suffered serious casualties in these battles, and he was really unable to take care of more territories, and at the same time resolutely refused to admit that he had given up his territory to the dungeon forces, and said that after he withdrew his troops, he didn't know anything else.

Ian Hilder is also helpless in this regard, although it is a cooperative relationship, but after all, these two battles are fought by others, so if you don't give up the territory in your hands, it is naturally someone else's own business.

In the end, Li Ran also proposed that the dungeon territory should still be an empty city now, and if the other party wanted to occupy it, he would send troops to protect it, but the vampire count obviously did not dare to make this decision without authorization, and after thinking about it, he decided to go back and ask Archduke Renenys.
