And on this side, Li Ran, who had that message after the incident, met the scout leader Histan who came in a hurry after some emotion.

"What's the matter?" Li Ran, who was relieved, saw that his expression was a little hurried, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

The latter saluted and said, "My lord, I have come to report to you that we have explored the main city of the dungeon."

Li Ran's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Good job, tell me quickly, where is its specific location?" ”

Histan nodded and replied: "Through our reconnaissance during this time, in the dungeon territory we abandoned, hundreds of miles forward, we found two more territories, one each for the undead and the dungeon forces, according to your orders, we did not go deeper, but bypassed these two cities, and found the main city of the dungeon force less than two hundred miles forward."

Li Ran sighed and said, "It seems that our current location is less than three hundred miles away from the main city of the dungeon, and there are four villages and towns in between, no wonder they have such a big reaction, is there a situation in the main city of the undead?" ”

"Not yet, but we have captured a few wild cave people, according to them, the main city of the undead should be south of the main city of the dungeon, as for the specific location is not clear for the time being, but I have sent someone to follow the route to investigate, I believe there will be news soon" Scout leader Histan bent down and said.

At this time, Li Ran couldn't help but be silent for a while, according to Hisstein's intelligence, combined with the information obtained from Ian Held's chat, Li Ran had already conceived the general situation of this underground world from his heart.

After a long time, Li Ran said solemnly to Histen: "Hurry up and scout the main city of the undead, and tell me as soon as you have any information." There are also additional manpower to give me a careful grasp of the specific troop divisions of these two main cities. Exploring the distribution of the internal buildings under the condition of ensuring safety"

Knowing that this matter was related to the safety of the entire territory, the scout leader nodded heavily.

See Histan in the distance. Li Ran fell into contemplation again, it has been more than half a month since the last war, and the dungeon forces are not in a hurry to retaliate, and from Histan's intelligence, there is no sign of any abnormal movement, whether it is because he gave up his territory, or because the other party is afraid of the undead forces, it seems that he is still safe for the time being. Then the next most important thing is the construction of the territory and the expansion of troops.

Thinking of this, Li Ran came alone to the battalion of the eighth-order stainless steel shield guards recruited by Doric, although these shield guards were only middle-level troops. However, a set of stainless steel armor on the whole body has increased their defense, although the attack power is slightly inferior, but it is a good hand for defense, and the overall coordination is moderate, and it is considered well-trained.

Seeing the lord coming, these steel shield guards who had just joined the camp seemed a little restrained and estranged, but habit still made them quickly stand in formation.

Looking at these people, Li Ran suddenly wanted to try their skills and cooperation, so Li Ran looked at them and said with a smile: "The elites of the Khan Rock Empire. I believe you already know that I am the lord of this territory, and I am honored to have you join as your lord. You can't meet empty-handed for the first time, and each person is given a gold coin here, and there is a tavern opened by dwarves in the territory. I'm sure you know that, so I'm here to invite you to have a drink."

Hear here. These steel shield guards couldn't help but smile, they still looked down on this small territory when they first arrived. But through the observation of the past few days, they were surprised to find that this territory has so many high-level troops, and even those long-range troops are not weaker than their own elven archers, so they let go of their contempt, but they are a little uncomfortable with the environment of the underground world, and at this time, seeing that the lord is so generous, it is naturally a cheer.

Looking at everyone, Li Ran jokingly asked: "At this time, everyone is scolding me in their hearts, the lord of NND is so stingy, just give a gold coin to drink, if the amount of alcohol is not enough?"

At this time, the steel shield guards couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and some of them even said: "No matter how much alcohol you drink, you can still drink a gold coin of wine, then you won't drink him to death."

Li Ran shook his head with a smile and said: "Then you are wrong, it depends on what kind of wine, if it is good wine, you can't even buy a glass of gold coins, but our territory is still in the development period, and many places are short of money, so we can only grieve our brothers."

These stainless steel shield guards didn't even dare to say it, when they were in the capital, how could they have heard such heart-warming words, and their favorability towards the lord increased a lot.

Seeing that it had an effect, Li Ran chatted with them even more, and during this time, he bluntly said that he wanted to try their skills, and sent the Barranca guard Uri and Tucker swordsman Gillo behind him.

At this time, Li Ran said: "Brothers, these two are the guards who have followed me for the longest time, and they are also my most loyal partners, today I will ask the two of them to try your skills and cooperation, rest assured!" Win or lose, the master of power has a reward, are you willing to accept it"

As the steel shields agreed in a hurry, two steel shields rushed out of them to go to Uchi and Gillo respectively, and a challenge began.

Although the ending is self-evident, Li Ran found that these two stainless steel shield guards are really good, although they are not experienced enough, but the offense and defense are orderly, although they are at a disadvantage, they are not discouraged, and they can fight back from time to time while defending closely, so that these two challenge matches that are not aimed at killing the enemy are very exciting, especially the one where Barranca guards Uschi and the stainless steel shield guards, both of them are holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and the fight is as smooth as a teaching.

When the two steel shield guards were defeated, their companions all sighed, but their eyes looked at the lord, for fear that he would be disappointed. However, Li Ran was very happy at this time and praised a few words, and at the same time rewarded each of them with a gold coin.

Seeing this, the other stainless steel shield guards were relieved, and when they saw that their companions had received gold coins, they couldn't help but be a little eager to try, and after two more games, Li Ran gave the rewards respectively and said: "I am very satisfied with your skills, but my guards have limited physical strength, so they can only compete for three more games, but the number of people in each battle can be increased to two, as long as they can win any of them, each person will be rewarded with ten gold coins."

As soon as Li Ran's words came out, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the stainless steel shield guards, the first game was still one person, but the disparity in strength was too great, and it took a while to lose the battle, and in the second game, they discussed four people, and after cooperating, they did not fall behind at all in the beginning of the battle, but the attack method was too single, and finally they were defeated, and in the face of the last game, these stainless steel shield guards couldn't help but be more cautious, and finally came up with four people.
