Chapter 973: The King's Thoughts
Hearing Li Ran's praise, Zhou Xun smiled slightly and continued: "But so far, we haven't found out about those demon city lords who colluded with them, but we learned from the capital that there are two demon city lords involved, one of the demon city lords is the famous Baroyan Demon Disnaike, he is one of the known seven-layer space overlords of the Iorfu underground world, he dominates nearly half of this space, has about 300,000 demon legions, and is very powerful."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xun continued: "As for the other one, the demon lord Bunita Hugh, it is said that she is a six-armed snake demon, although there are only nearly 100,000 legions, but the space she is in is more hidden and stable, so far the empire has not found a coordinate entrance, and her 100,000 legions are all of the same clan, so in terms of overall strength, it is not much worse than the city lord of Baloyan Demon Disnaike."
Hearing Zhou Xun say this, everyone also had a certain understanding of the situation in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh that the luck of the capital was not good, and the several major dukes of their empire had external intentions, but there were no effective management measures, which led them to slowly grow up in the end, and now they are pushing themselves to a dead end.

As everyone discussed, Doric explained: "Actually, the old king gave these people the dark forest and the map of the underground of Ioph to guard, in fact, his original intention was to enter the sea world, which is also one of the reasons why he built the capital there and built such a large harbor, especially the Roaring Island located in the northwest of the empire's coast, although it is called an island, but his area is one-third the size of the empire, and there are very rich in specialties and materials, Far from being comparable to the Ioph Underworld and the Dark Forest, if captured, the old king's strength would quickly rise to the level of a medium-sized empire, or even a large empire."
Hearing him say this, everyone present who didn't know about it couldn't help but show surprised expressions, it seems that the old king also thought that these dukes would gradually become powerful because of this, but he had his eye on another larger area.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Doric also sighed and said: "But who knew that just when the old king was about to show his strength, this roaring island was jointly occupied by the Holy Falcon Alliance Empire on the opposite coast and the Saranca Empire, one of these two is the Terran super empire after the alliance, including several super large empires and several large empires, and the other is a very powerful barbarian super large empire, whose strength is far from being compared with an empire like Grenada, Therefore, the old king had no choice but to turn to the forest of the dead in the west, and finally because he was too radical for a while, he was seriously injured in a war that could not be cured, so his old age was so bleak."
I didn't expect that there was such a reason for this, at this time, hearing Doric's explanation, everyone present sighed except for the known Li Ran and a few people.
And after Doric said this, everyone chatted for a while, Li Ran also looked at Zhou Xun and said: "At the moment, the capital is urging so urgently, it is not good for us not to go over, but on the side of the Grand Chief of Krachi, you still have to increase the intensity of investigation, a duke of a medium-sized empire, his actions have a significant impact on our next actions, as well as those demon city lords, strive to find out their relationship with the plan and with Mednaqi as soon as possible."
Hearing Li Ran's words, Zhou Xun naturally had no problem, after seeing that he said that he would increase the number of scouts, Li Ran then discussed the number of troops with everyone, and finally decided to maintain it at about 100,000 as last time.
To say that Li Ran came back this time, he first sent troops to the capital to fight with the Grand Chief of Krach, and then led his troops into the dark forest to defeat Duke Sells, and finally entered the half-plane after several months of conquest, and now he has to send troops to the capital again, and may have to fight with the Duke of Maidnach and the underground demons of Iorfo, the pressure on his spirit is indeed a bit great, so after some consideration, he decided to rest for a few days first, and give himself and the soldiers a holiday.
A few days later, when the Imperial Capital learned that the Duke of Terris had begun to assemble his troops, King Agles and his ministers were undoubtedly shocked, and the previous battle in the city of the Marquis of Silisus, the Empire's defeat again made them finally realize their inadequacy in dealing with such large-scale wars.
Including Pamela and the Duke of Nigaro, the former was under the care of the old king, and the latter was a hereditary title and experienced fewer wars, and even the wars he commanded before were wars of less than 100,000 men.
As for the military and political chief Thortaylor, although he has seen more, most of them have only followed the old king to obey the command before, and it is inevitable that he will lose one thing or the other in real wars, coupled with the previous experience of being captured, his prestige in the army has been greatly reduced, and it is really difficult to command an army of hundreds of thousands.
It can be said that all their hopes are now with the Duke of Terris, and at this time, King Agles couldn't help but regret his decision at that time, so at the moment when this person entered the capital with a large army ten days later, he personally greeted him at the entrance of the city, and canonized the Duke of Territh on the spot, adding the name of Festus in front of the name, and became the second prince of the Khan Rock Empire.
Although he didn't care too much about this title of prince, he thought that after he was entitled, the number of guards that could be summoned would increase by three hundred, and the war space would also increase a lot, Li Ran was also very happy, and after a few months, together with this king, he once again accepted the flowers and praise that greeted the people here.
After a few days of discussion and research, Li Ran sent troops from the capital again, at this time, in addition to his own more than 100,000 people, the number of soldiers reached more than 300,000 in one fell swoop, most of which were troops in the capital, and there were also soldiers of Prince Pamela and Duke Nigaro, and their target was the big city captured by Silisus.
At this time, if you add a small number of troops of the Marquis of Silisus, as well as a large number of logistics support personnel, they have invested a total of nearly 700,000 people for this war at this time, creating the largest number of soldiers led by Li Ran so far.
"Prince Terryth, I didn't expect you to help me retake the city this time, thank you so much" That night, when the troops were encamped, the Marquis of Silisus personally came to express his gratitude.
Because he was a mage of the Tower Clan, the Marquis of Silisus rarely appeared in the outside world, and he was thin and energetic in his old age, probably because of his long-term closed-door research, and his ability to express himself in language was inevitably limited, so that after this somewhat stiff thank-you, he disappeared, making the scene a little embarrassing.
Fortunately, there were also Prince Pamela and a group of accompanying city lords present at this time, and after a few laughs and conversations to resolve this embarrassment, they all consulted Li Ran about how to win this battle and recapture the castle of the Marquis of Silisus.
In this regard, Li Ran also smiled and said: "It's nothing more than a war, fortunately, in the intelligence, after the victory on the side of Mednaqi, I heard that there are not many people stationed in the city of Lord Marquis, but only about 100,000 people, we now not only have several times his legion, but also have siege vehicles brought from the capital, are you still afraid that you can't win?" ”
"What can you think like this, this is just preliminary information, after our army comes over, there will definitely be more troops in Mydnach, you must not take it lightly" Hearing Li Ran say this, Silisus hurriedly spoke.
For a long time, because of the identity of the king's teacher, although this person does not go out often, but he is also highly respected in the empire, at this time, seeing this Terryth so careless, this is about his own city, he can't help but be a little anxious.
But at the same time, Prince Pamela and the others, especially the city lords who were more familiar with Li Ran, frowned slightly, thinking that this old guy is really confused, this kind of thing Prince Terres still needs you to say, what he said is just that he has not yet made a final decision, you are a person who has lost the city, and you have not shown up in the capital for so many days, and even people do not congratulate you on becoming princes, and now that people are going to recapture the castle for you, is it necessary to explain to you how to act? We just asked this to give you a step.
However, Li Ran didn't pay much attention to this, after all, these mages who specialized in research were like this, if he could be eloquent like those city lords and ministers, he might not be able to become the strongest mage in the empire and the teacher of the current king.
Looking at the somewhat proud and worried marquis, Li Ran smiled and said, "My lord is right, I will ask them to send additional scouts immediately."
Hearing what Prince Terryth said, the king teacher nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, although he belonged to the alliance side, he had not thought much of this Lord Territh, in his opinion that this person was just a warrior who could fight, if the old king was alive, this person could only be an officer at most, and it was not easy to be knighted.
Although the character of the mage, the Marquis of Silisus didn't care too much about the level of the title, but a martial artist actually climbed on top of himself, especially this time, he was directly named a prince by his own apprentice, which made him really uncomfortable.
This is also the reason why during his time in the capital, others went to congratulate him, but he kept hiding in the palace and did not appear, until after this dispatch, he brought people to chase him on the third day.
However, seeing that the attitude of this newly sealed prince was okay, this mage was still a little uneasy, after all, this time it was related to his city, especially when he thought of the precious materials he had in the castle, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. (To be continued.) )
