Chapter 1374: The Fallen Soldiers
"Where is the army of Vertun Marr now?" And then, after pondering for a while, Li Ran paced to a huge sand table in the center of the room, and continued to ask two questions in a row: "And do you have any preparations here?" ”
In this regard, Zhou Xun also immediately stepped forward, and replied while pointing to a location: "Today's information has not yet returned, but since the departure from the capital nine days ago, yesterday evening, the army of Vertunmar has arrived here."
And after that, Zhou Xun also continued: "As for our side, although we have not yet dispatched a large army, we have already made contact with the Vertunmar side, as for the relevant preparations, they have been basically ready with the help of Wu Tongtong, and five days ago, Wu Tongtong and I discussed that Raymond had led his 70,000 human legions, including the 50,000 barbarian legions of Saquill's department, to set off first, and at this time they had already arrived here."
Seeing the position pointed out by Zhou Xun on the sand table again, he smiled and nodded to Li Ran, it seems that he is still quite satisfied with the response plans made by Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong.
After pondering for a while, Li Ran asked softly: "How many troops are left on our side of Dawning City at this time?" ”
Hearing Li Ran suddenly ask about this, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong couldn't help but glance at each other, but then they also immediately reported the garrison strength and deployment, among which it is not difficult to see that in the case of having such a vast territory, although they had suffered serious losses due to successive battles before, at this time, the number of troops above the super level has reached nearly one million people together.
But what Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong didn't expect was that after hearing these figures, Li Ran shook his head slightly after thinking about it for a while.
And just when they were a little puzzled, they suddenly heard Li Ran speak: "Inform me to suspend the matter of the plane battlefield, let Zhang Debiao and them come back, and from now on, in addition to the 50,000 High Elves from Tyre City, the following including the Beamon Legion, the Nius Legion, the Cyr Legion and the Zerela Demon Cavalry Legion are all coming, in addition to the High Golem Legion, the Valkyrie Legion, the Blood Scorpion Legion, the Shura Legion and the Moblazing Dragoon Legion, you will deploy half of your troops to come over and arrive within two months within the time limit!" ”
Even if Li Ran wanted to devote all the troops of Dawning City to support Vertunmar, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong might not be surprised, after all, with the current relationship between the two of them, they are already closely linked.
But at this moment, Li Ran suddenly proposed to call over so many core troops from Tyre City, and the meaning of this was completely different.
What surprised them even more was that the matter was far from over here, because in the next moment, Li Ran even issued an order to assemble the newly formed legions, including the Ancient Beast Clan, the Burning Hoof Clan, and the Gold Casting War Ape.
If legions like Shura, Mochi, Cyr and Bloody Scorpion are their hidden true heritage, and since the arrival of these units from the Sunset Mountains, a small number of them that can be established as legion-sized troops have become another killer move for them.
Even Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong knew in their hearts that although the truce after repelling the coalition forces in the early stage was mostly due to the relationship between Vertunmar's side, it was more or less due to the factors that provided some time for the training of these newly formed legions.
While these powerful creatures from the Sunset Mountains may not be as war-torn as the Blazing and Bloody Scorpions in terms of their understanding of warfare, they are clearly superior in terms of individual and overall strength.
And more importantly, in the early stage of Li Ran's formation and secret training in Tyre City, these powerful biological groups that established the legion mechanism were even led by demigod-level legions.
For example, the current Ancient Beast Legion is led by the leader of its clan and the demigod powerhouse Unacomo, and as for the Burning Hoof Clan's Minotaur and the Gold Casting War Ape, Li Ran also selected the most suitable candidate from among its several demigods.
It can be said that with the addition of these demigod powerhouses, the overall combat effectiveness of these legions has also been improved unimaginably.
I don't know if it's because of this shock in my heart, or because of the majesty that Li Ran unconsciously generated in his body when he issued this order.
At this moment, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong suddenly felt that Li Ran in front of them seemed to be a little different from before, if the previous person, in their eyes, was like a man shrouded in layers of fog, although they were very close to each other, including Wu Tongtong was his apprentice, but they had not been able to evaluate this person.
And at this moment, they felt as if they saw a trace of figure emerging from this fog, although it was only the tip of the iceberg, but the feeling they gave them was so solemn and solemn that they couldn't help but admire!
But they have been by Li Ran's side for several years, and if they are converted to the third world, the time will be extended several times, so the next moment, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong are also trying to restore their calm, and they are more accustomed to it, they did not ask, but silently rechecked the order Li Ran gave just now in their hearts, in case there is anything missing!
Although at this stage, Li Ran did not plan to use those legions that came from Tyre City, including the secret order to Zhou Xun, and only let him be properly placed in the inner camp after these legions came.
But it is precisely because of this order that in the eyes of the outside world, at noon on this day, with the opening of the gates of Dawning City, I was still suspecting that Dawning City had only sent about 100,000 troops this time, would this Prince of Terres? This is because there is a possibility of a head-on battle with the Rebecca Empire, and some of the talk of not daring to fully support Fortonmar has collapsed.
600,000 elite legions! If you add the more than 100,000 people who went out before, in people's eyes, this is already all the troops of this prince of the Khan Rock Empire, and at this moment, he actually started at the same time, and the troops were slowly marching towards the border of the Winigon Empire in three ways.
In the eyes of the outside world, Prince Terres's move is undoubtedly a sign that even if you have the support of Rebecca behind the Venegan Empire, you will destroy it in one fell swoop.
Although before this, everyone knew about the alliance between Prince Terreth and Fortonmar, but the interests of the nobles were not optimistic, and some even thought that maybe there was no need to do anything at all, as long as there was a little conflict of interest, the two would turn against each other.
But what I didn't expect was that these two people had always been very united in their previous rebellion or under the encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces, and at this time, for the latter, Prince Terris was able to raise a force to support, which undoubtedly moved everyone at the same time, but also began to reevaluate the cooperative relationship between the two in their hearts.
However, what they didn't expect was that just a few hours after this information came, something even more terrible happened, that is, as Prince Terryth's army marched out, in the afternoon of the same day, the king of the Dalmatian Empire, Forton Marr, when he once again marched a legion in his capital, openly issued a declaration of national war against the Venegan Empire!
The moment the gates of the City of Dawn opened, everyone in this area knew in their hearts that this game between the great powers had begun.
In addition to being a little worried about the stability of this area, for those who don't care about it, they are even more curious about whether Vertunmar and Terris really want to go to war this time? Or is it just a bluff? And the Rebecca empire, which has always been arrogant! Will you choose to go to war? Or will they choose to give up the pawn of Venegan? In exchange for a rapprochement with Fortonmar and Prince Terryth?
However, this declaration of national war from Vertonmar seemed to people like a slap in the face, and it was fiercely incited in the face of the Rebecca Empire.
And for the people in it, especially for the monarchs and nobles of the surrounding empires, they are in all kinds of entanglements at the moment.
Because for these people, if it weren't for Vertonmar's declaration of national war, even if Vertonmar and Prince Terryth sent more troops, it would only be a lesson to the Winigon Empire, and they could pretend to turn a blind eye to it.
But under the declaration of national war, not only is the Welligan Empire, which is closely related to them, in danger of annihilation, but this slap continues, I am afraid that even if the Rebecca Empire wanted to withdraw from this battlefield before, it will be difficult to ride a tiger at this moment, and it is more likely that envoys will be sent soon after, and its purpose is self-evident.
On one side are the Venegan and Rebecca empires, and on the other side are Vertunmar and Prince Terres, if it were before that, the kings and nobles of their neighboring empires would definitely not hesitate to choose the former.
But the difference now is that just a few months ago, their coalition forces had just suffered a crushing defeat, including their strength and morale.
And under the current war situation, not to mention the Welligan Empire, in the face of this situation, they will definitely raise the whole country's troops to confront, but in a hurry, what is the attitude of the Rebecca Empire? And even if they participate in the war, it is difficult to say how many troops will really come, so they will also face a dilemma.
At the same time, they knew very well in their hearts that even if Forton Marr dared to issue this declaration of national war, in addition to the fact that it had already been approved by Prince Terris's side, including the number of troops sent by the latter, these two war maniacs must have also taken their factors into account.
Therefore, no matter what decision they would make in the end, at least with Fortonmar and Prince Terryth, they showed enough confidence at the moment, and it was this kind of imposing confidence that made them feel a little uneasy.
