Chapter 1324: Troop Build-up
On Li Ran's side, although the battle was very fierce this time, because of sufficient preparations, and at the beginning of the war, the three demigod-level blue-backed ancient bears on the other side were led to other places by the strong men on their own side, so in terms of actual casualties, it was even smaller than when he captured the Ice Crystal Phoenix Clan before, so next, he also refocused on the Burning Hoof Clan's Minotaur Clan.
As the real overlord of this area, Li Ran knew that his side was indeed much worse than the other party in terms of overall strength, but as a roadblock blocking their progress, it was one of the existences that had to be solved, so in this case, the investigation of this ancient Minotaur clan had already been put on his agenda.
In terms of the regular legion, Li Ran is not worried, although the other party claims to have more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the legendary rank, but his biggest advantage lies in the sophisticated equipment and more suitable for large-scale wars between legions, as long as he is given a little time to prepare, plus the floating castle he owns, especially at this time, there are hundreds of star-breaking long crossbows on it, and the high-priced Star-Breaking Long Crossbow can effectively restrain the opponent's regular legion.
But at the same time, Li Ran also knew very well in his heart that in the battle here, although the victory of the regular legion was indispensable, it could no longer control the ownership of the entire battle situation, and above the top troops, he was much inferior to the other party, after all, this Burning Hoof Clan's Minotaur clan had nearly thirty demigod-level powerhouses, and the number was almost twice as many as his own.
Although he also knew that these demigod-level powerhouses he had obtained, whether it was the Dark Titan and the Tyrant of Death, which were regarded as forbidden by the gods, or the dangerous forbidden land of the Sunset Mountains, the gold-casting war apes that had grown through continuous mutation, including the ice crystal phoenix from the other world, were all very powerful existences, and it would not be a problem to fight one against two under normal circumstances.
However, their opponent this time was the rumored Burning Hoof Clan's Minotaur, which was also a well-known ancient war clan, although in Li Ran's opinion, with their physical conditions and talents, they would not necessarily be stronger than the gold-casting war ape, but because of the number, it was not enough for them to compete with it.
As for the blue-backed ancient bear leader Zaken, it was not in Li Ran's consideration, only because of its strength was the reason why Li Ran dared to set his eyes on this Burning Hoof Clan's minotaur this time, because it was the only one that could restrain the other party, the existence that might already have a godhead patriarch.
Although it seems that the gap between the two is not large, Li Ran knows better that all this is just under the condition that he maximizes the strength of his own side, but if he puts it on the battlefield because of this, it will only lead to complete defeat and destruction.
However, apart from completely solving the Minotaur clan of the Burning Hoof Clan, he had no chance to develop here, so after some consideration, this morning, he also ordered another large-scale transfer of troops from Tyre City and Dawn City, and then under the protection of Huazang and his party, he once again came to the neutral area ruled by the cliff giants.
As an ally of his own side, his intention in coming here this time was very obvious, that is, he hoped that while they could send troops to support him on a large scale, his patriarch Fergus and Lord Rainbow Serpent would also be able to accompany him to fight this time.
It was not difficult to persuade the Fergus patriarch to fight, and the other party even said that he would dispatch all the elites except for the Nuyan Minotaur clan to fight if he had a seventy percent chance of victory, but wanting to accompany the rainbow snake who did not like aggression became Li Ran's biggest headache.
Fortunately, when dealing with the clone of the nightmare giant snake Dandel, that is, the corpse of Nizberg, this rainbow snake also owed Li Ran a favor because it needed its divine core to heal its injuries, and on the other hand, it may also be out of yearning for the central area, which has also become the key to making this rainbow snake loosen its mouth this time.
However, at this time, Li Ran was not in a hurry, although in his opinion, after obtaining the Nightmare Giant Snake clone Demon Core, this rainbow snake was already far above the peak-level Fergus in the case of basic recovery from its injuries.
But in order to increase the chances of even if it was only one point in this war, which was already at a disadvantage, and also because of the uncertainty about the guy with the godhead, Li Ran also gritted his teeth and presented several demigod-level demon cores that night after accompanying him back to the gold casting base.
Although he knew that Li Ran did this, that is, he wanted the rainbow snake to have a better performance on the battlefield after his strength was improved, but even so, Fergus did not expect that Li Ran would be so bold, and it could even be described as desperate.
And at this moment, as the patriarch of the Cliff Giant clan, Fergus also knew that the seventy percent victory rate that Li Ran had estimated for him before was simply a non-existent thing, although he was a little depressed, but after some thought, he shook his head helplessly and laughed bitterly, and he had an inexplicable respect for Li Ran.
For him, although this person's intention to deceive himself did make him very angry, but being able to put all his belongings into an unknown battle was exactly why he could not do it, and the other party was able to increase his strength to such a point in such a short period of time, that is, to occupy a place in the neutral zone.
At the same time, with the continuous increase of the source of troops at all levels, Li Ran's strength here has also quickly soared to nearly 200,000 people, although compared with the previous elite troops, after the battle with the Holy Light Temple, especially the last battle, his strength in this type of army has decreased a lot.
But in this battle, Li Ran has already decided to use core forces such as the Syr tribe, the Zerela Demon Cavalry, and the Shura Legion, so on the frontal battlefield, even if the opponent has a few subordinate groups, he is not afraid!
Of course, among them, Li Ran did not let this make a big deal, including letting Cai Chang find the Niuss plane again to recruit a group of high-level troops, and even in the end, he persuaded the northern ruler Ernit to agree to come over to help with extremely generous conditions, so that he could add another powerful figure to the demigod-level powerhouse.
At the same time, on the other side of the battle map, I didn't expect what I had been looking forward to for so quickly to happen, and when Zhou Xun informed her that she was waiting for him in the teleportation array, An Zhenxi also guessed something.
Although she has been going out to sea with Xu Lingwei to hunt giant rays for a long time, this does not affect her understanding of the situation in the city, after all, they often go back, knowing that not long ago Zhou Xun began to deploy troops on a large scale in the city, so it can be seen that there must be a big move on the forbidden side.
She knew very well that being named at this time was not only because most of her teammates had gone to the plane battlefield, but also because Li Ran recognized her, so in this case, she also ran to the teleportation array for the first time.
However, even so, when she arrived, she found that not only Zhou Xun himself who had notified her here, but also Zhang Yanxi and even Wu Tongtong had arrived.
At the moment of arriving, she was also suddenly notified that her title had been promoted to earl, and then while she was still a little confused, Zhou Xun had handed over hundreds of elite troops to her, and told her to put them in the war first.
The desert full of yellow sand, the strange and wonderful scenery, and the dangerous forbidden land, all of these gave her a different feeling, and what amazed her even more was that on this way, not only the officials of the main desert city were very polite to their arrival, but even opened a separate teleportation channel for them, and someone was specially responsible for guarding it.
And after entering the Sunset Mountains, she was even more amazed by the layout here, not only the entire area was under their control, but even the connecting roads had been built, and along this road, they came directly to a place called the Silver Wing Stronghold.
I thought that this was the end of here, because in her opinion, this place was very far away from the edge, but in the communication with Wu Tongtong and Zhang Yanxi, she knew that there were several of their strongholds further inside, and the reason why she came here was because this was where they were going to teleport next.
With great curiosity, they waited here for Zheng Haitao and two other people they had never met, and after a rest, they set out on their journey again, coming to a strange neutral area.
In Ahn Jung-hee's opinion, she had never seen such a bizarre sight, all kinds of higher creatures were rampant on the streets, walking in their nature or in human form, eating, drinking, trading, scolding, and living here as if they were players.
What An Zhenxi didn't expect was that after arriving here, she found that Zhou Xun, Zheng Haitao and others began to gather troops again, and then began a rapid march all the way.
If when she first entered this forbidden land, she was very amazed by the strength of the biological forces here, then at this time, the creatures they encountered along the way were really terrifying, and it was said that this was the passage that Li Ran and they had already cleared.
She really couldn't imagine how Li Ran had managed to get through all the way in this kind of place where legendary epic-level creatures were rampant, and even myths and destruction were often seen, especially when she saw the various huge stronghold nests along the way that had been destroyed not long ago, she believed that before this, this must be a group of some powerful creatures.
It wasn't until two weeks later that they finally arrived at their destination, a somewhat wild tribal stronghold, and through communication with her teammates, she was surprised to learn that this was the center of the Forbidden Land.
