Chapter 1268: Setulus
I don't know if it was because of the preparations, or because of the threat from Li Ran's side and the legendary Duke Fortonmar, the original Bagastu and Uktara empires actually completed the unification between the two empires in just over half a year, and Clement succeeded the king and officially established the Setulus Empire!
The merger of the two empires indicates that this Setulus Empire, Yan Ran has officially become the overlord here, and in order to celebrate this event, Li Ran also sent Zhou Xun as a representative to lead a delegation of five hundred envoys to congratulate.
However, on the day of the celebration of the nascent empire, after months of rest and reorganization, Li Ran's side sent troops at the same time as the Duke of Fortonmar, one side traveled west from the Dawn City, and the other side went north from the Dark Moon Fortress, launching a new offensive against the Okington Empire.
Although everyone knew that after digesting the results of the battle between Grimm and Alencia, these two sides, especially Prince Terryth, would definitely attack the Okington Empire, but the choice to send troops on the day of the Ceturus Empire's ceremony was somewhat intriguing.
But despite this, at this time, no one in this land dared to express their opinions at will, including Eloland and the Redor Empire, after learning of this, also let the envoys who originally sent the Setulus Empire return hastily on the day of the celebration, which shows the jealousy of this Prince of Terres.
As for why he is so cautious, it is because both the Eloland and the Redor Empire know very well that after this period of rest and reorganization, if the previous Prince of Terres was just a jackal, he could only shock the enemies of the Quartet by cooperating with Vertunmar.
But at this time, after attracting the captives of the two empires of Grimm and Alencia, he has truly become a tiger, and it is really an unwise choice to provoke him now.
And the fact is just as they expected, after these months of reorganization, Li Ran's side has also increased its strength at this time, especially in the Terran and Tower Clans, the strength has improved significantly, including in the Elemental Clan, and it has also obtained a lot of high-level troops.
On this night, as the first batch of regiments led by Tang Zi and others set off for seven days, Li Ran also held a meeting again, in addition to discussing the addition of its logistical baggage, it was also to determine the goals and candidates of the second route corps again.
The original royal hall of the Geogham Empire, now with some redecorations, has become a conference hall, and in addition to the original teammates and legion generals, there are also some more people present, including not only Nycles and Magni-Copperbeard, who were obedient earlier, but also some noble generals who did not submit until the end, as for the most famous, it is undoubtedly the Duchess of Laures of Valencia.
However, at this time, these three former dukes could only succumb to the title of marquis, and Li Ran specially applied for them from the capital, as for the others, it was even lower, and there were very few who could become earls, most of them were just viscounts and barons.
Of course, in addition to these three marquises, Li Ran also helped one person apply for the marquis, that is, the Terran hero Raymond, although this person has an ordinary appearance and a somewhat ordinary name, even before Greenom was only a viscount, but through the recommendation of Forton Marr, Li Ran knew that this person was not only a powerful knight of glory, but also extremely good at commanding cavalry legions, only because of some unknown reasons, he would not be reused.
Although no one knew what Li Ran had talked about with him, under the attention of his teammates and generals at all levels, after only one night of long talks, Li Ran decided to reuse this person, not only specially applied for the position of marquis for him, but also directly appointed him as the supreme commander of the newly formed cavalry corps.
Under the chairmanship of Zhou Xun, this large-scale meeting only took more than an hour in time, and after determining that the second group of people was under the full command of Shadow Blade, Zhou Tong and Bao Zhuoyi, Li Ran ended the meeting.
But then, Li Ran also left a few core members and some generals and came to his city lord's mansion and asked people to send some special delicacies here.
"Is the barracks on Nycles' side already planned?" Li Ran was obviously still very concerned about this newly joined Centaur clan, and after picking up a fruit at this time, he was also the first to ask.
To this, Zhou Xun immediately replied: "Everything has been arranged, the new barracks has been fully rebuilt, which can basically meet the life training of the Centaur family, and the relevant equipment has been placed in place, including Niclais who is also very satisfied after seeing it."
Hearing his words, Li Ran also nodded and said: "That's good, Niclaice is also a natural king, so in terms of attitude, it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant, plus he is a little uncomfortable just being subdued, you let other people take care of it a little more, I believe it will be fine after a while."
Everyone nodded at this, they knew the significance of this Centaur to Li Ran, so they were also very concerned about it, as for the arrogant attitude of Marquis Niclais, but it was also a matter of looking at people, and these people who could sit here were still more polite.
And the first thing everyone talked about next was the available talents found in the process of integration, including generals who were good at leading battles, and managers who were good at internal affairs, and Li Ran's approach to them was to use them if they could, and completely eliminate all those who couldn't use them, because the more such people are, the more dangerous they will be once they are dissatisfied.
"Master, the new barracks has been preliminarily completed, this is a rough sketch, you can see if there is anything to be modified" After a while, Wu Tongdan took a drawing and said.
Taking the drawing in Wu Tongtong's hand, Li Ran put down the fruit in his hand, and when he opened it, Li Ran also saw the content on it clearly.
Broadly speaking, this drawing is actually a cross-sectional view of the City of Dawn, in which some marks are made, and these places that are marked are the size of the garrisons and the location of the living areas of the major military camps.
If the previous planning of the military camp in Tyre City was set according to the orientation and function, then it is not difficult to see from this drawing that if the entire Dawning City is compared to a mountain, most of the military camps are at the bottom, including several main army corps and the newly formed Terran regular legion.
And the higher the barracks, the higher and higher the level, and when they reach the middle position, this is basically the high-level military camp above the legendary level, in addition to the elves and human high legions that account for a large number of people, including Augustus's angel legion, butcher's legion, the Nysbone legion and some elite legions in the snowy region are located here.
A little further up are the powerful legions of the Syr, the Shura, the Mochi, the Valkyries, the Zereramo and the Scorpions.
In addition to these large, powerful legions and mage towers, there are also smaller military camps such as the Withered Clan and the Silver Dragons.
From the map in his hand, it is not difficult to see that these top legions in Li Ran's hands are intricately arranged on the highest floor of all military camps, firmly guarding several major passages leading to the peak.
On top of this, there is a paradise for some rare forbidden land creatures, including the bloodthirsty rhinoceros with unparalleled collision power, the fierce Red Flame Lions, the Sphinx wolves, and some such as hook-tailed civets, strange beasts, and shining dogs, whose nests and barracks are built here.
In addition, in addition to these forbidden creatures, there are several dragon and phoenix lairs in this area, including the two most important mage towers in Li Ran's hands, which are also established in this area, one of which is in charge of the tower master Kunai Soyd, specializing in all kinds of spell research and experiments, and the other mage tower is mainly responsible for the production of various golem puppets.
Looking at the map in his hand, Li Ran also nodded with satisfaction, and after looking at it carefully for a while, Li Ran also opened his mouth to discuss some of the points that could be discussed, and discussed with everyone present.
In the ensuing chat, Li Ran also gradually shifted his focus to the current Terran legion, after all, in this harvest, the Terran army accounted for the most important part of it, as for the troops of the other elemental clans and tower clans, although the ones he left behind were all elites, but the number was not much.
Among them, in terms of the number of troops recruited by the Tower Clan, except for a high-level Naga warrior, most of them are mainly mages, and they have long been scattered by him to various mage towers at this moment, including some have also been sent back to Tyre City and other territories.
As for the elemental clan, Li Ran is even simpler, except for the strongest fire phoenix in this clan, he only has a large number of elemental divisions left, as for the other troops, Li Ran gave up all of them, either sold or exchanged, all of them were converted into other major forces.
Of course, at the time of the destruction of Valencia, a large empire dominated by elements and towers, Li Ran also obtained a lot of top troops of these two races, but as a hidden force, it was not announced to the public at this time.
However, as the core members here, especially Zhou Xun and the others, they knew that they had recruited nearly fifty of them alone, the Storm Titan and the Silver Winged Phoenix, and in addition to the Elemental Commanders who had evolved from various elements, they had also gained twelve, so it could be said that they had obtained nearly sixty at one time in Valencia in terms of the Mythic and Destruction Tier troops.
In terms of the Terran troops, because he was preparing to take Dawn City as the center in the future, Li Ran basically retained all the establishments, but in key positions, before he was completely convinced, he also replaced all the people brought from Tyre City. 10
