Chapter 427: The Master Strikes

I didn't expect that the other party would not hesitate to lose troops to raid the ranged soldiers, and when the leader of the minotaur saw the situation here, he hurriedly ordered a team of dark knights to come to the rescue, these Medusa and Evil Eye, who were first specially cared for by the elven archers led by Tang Zhiqin, and were suddenly attacked by the leopard warriors, also suffered heavy casualties, and some scattered and fled, and could no longer pose a threat to the long-range forces of the territory, while the leopard warriors retreated to the engagement position before the dark knight arrived, but the trip was only a few minutes, These raiding Leopard troops also lost nearly half of their troops. Even the chieftain, Borken, was mortally wounded while shielding the rest of the clan.

As the existence that is most concerned about this battle, after these Medusa and the evil eye are exterminated, what Li Ran has to do at this time is to hold the periphery of the territory tightly, especially at the city gate, not to let the other party attack the territory, and when the two sides are fighting, use the attack of long-range forces to give the other party a greater blow.

On the battlefield, Li Ran kept sending troops to fill the gaps that were captured one by one, when the other party sent high-level troops, Li Ran's pressure increased dramatically, and several times he was almost attacked by the enemy through the position and into the territory, if he hadn't sent the silverback demon wolf in time to send a burst of ice blades, I am afraid that the opponent's dark elf cavalry would have broken through the defense line and rushed into the territory, and finally Li Ran went into battle in person, and at the same time sent hundreds of tiger-faced people and frost mastiffs that he had just gotten to hold the position.

During the murder, Master Liexi flicked his robe, used the same trick he had used in the magic tower before, and after wasting several precious magic crystals, he instantly killed and injured hundreds of dungeon warriors, but in the end, the magic power was exhausted, and Li Ran let people be lifted to the high platform to rest.

What Li Ran didn't expect was that the tower master Kunai Soyd also started this battle, only to see that as he came to the wall and chanted softly, hundreds of dark elf warriors in the middle of the enemy suddenly fought each other. Leave the other party in chaos. It wasn't until more than a dozen dark witches on the other side hurriedly came over to appease the magic that the lost warrior gradually recovered his nature, but the damage caused by this was quite amazing, and the fourteenth-order tower master was obviously more powerful, and he used it three times in a row before he returned to the high platform with a little pale. The other party killed and injured nearly 200 warriors of all ranks, and at the same time, many witches were exhausted because of the rescue magic.

It's an uphill battle. When Li Ran sent the last Minotaur army led by the leader Saquille to charge, the battle situation finally began to favor Li Ran's side, some of the troops of the dungeon force saw that they could not capture the territory for a long time, and some began to cower or even flee, and on the battlefield, this mood was like a plague, when the first warrior began to flee, Li Ran, who had already exhausted his strength, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

A few minutes later, the dungeon forces began to rout on a large scale. Li Ran also ordered Tang Zhi and Xia Houben, Shadow Blade and others to start pursuing. It was not until the evening of the same day that these troops returned one after another, and Li Ran declared victory in the battle.

In the next few days, everyone in the entire territory was busy clearing the battlefield, and after sending back hundreds of minotaurs and elven archers back to defend the surface territory, even the old village chief Morga couldn't wait to run over. With his involvement, the progress of inventory and recovery work has been significantly accelerated.

That night, Li Ran held a large-scale sacrificial event on top of the previous battlefield. Prayers were made for the soldiers who died in battle, and adequate pensions were given to their parents, wives and children. And solemnly swore to raise the parents of these soldiers who died in battle until the end of their lives. At the same time, a number of brave soldiers in battle were commended, and a grand banquet was held in the name of this.

Although this is a lot of consumption, it also makes the loyalty of all the people in the territory continue to rise, especially the parents, wives and children of the dead warriors, who are sad and worried about their future whereabouts, according to the past practice. In such a situation, their fate is nothing more than waiting to be sold or exiled by the lord, at this time, hearing Li Ran say this, they couldn't help but cry with emotion, and all this was seen by other warriors and their families. While he has a greater sense of belonging to the territory, he also has more respect and trust for Li Ran, the lord, and naturally his loyalty has also increased greatly.

After the banquet, Li Ran returned to the conference hall with some important people, because of the experience of the last time, this time the old village chief Morga only euphemistically mentioned his opinion on the decision just now, pointing out that this will cost too much money in the territory, and this kind of capital investment is long-term, after all, having too many old and weak women and children is not conducive to the later development of the territory.

After listening to his words, everyone couldn't help but have some different opinions, some of them agreed with the opinion of the old village chief Morga, and thought that it was the lord's thing to do. There are also those who think that the lord is doing the right thing, especially the leader of the minotaur Saquille and the leader of the leopard tribe, Borken, at this time they are very worried to look at the lord, for fear that he will regret the decision he made before because of the persuasion of Morga and others, although those who were sold may also survive, but as the leader, they naturally hope that the clansmen can live well, but on the other hand, they have signed a soul contract with the lord, and they hope to see the master's territory develop stronger and stronger, so the mood at this time is very entangled and helpless.

After a long time, Li Ran looked at the people present and said slowly: "I don't know what you think, but in my opinion, as a lord, everyone in that territory is my people, even the terrible puppets made by alchemists are all one of us, just like all our warriors here, although there will inevitably be death on the battlefield, but the death of these people is glorious, it is to protect our territory, but also to protect our families, so that they can live better, So why can't we protect his family after they die in battle? I don't know if this counts as indecision, but I just know that the purpose of my territory in the first place was not only for myself, but also for the sake of building a truly safe home for everyone, including everyone here."

As Li Ran finished speaking, everyone was silent, but with a few jingling bells, Li Ran found that he had received the loyalty of several people in a row, and as Saquill, the leader of the Gaoyan Minotaurs, took the lead and bowed in front of Li Ran, the leader of the leopard people, Borken, and several prophets also came to Li Ran and knelt down.

This moment is undoubtedly peculiar, the entire conference hall is silent, Zhou Xun and other teammates looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, so many top soldiers and senior talents at the same time offered their loyalty, condensed together as if a rainbow flew into Li Ran's body, making the entire conference hall extremely solemn and solemn.

After a long time, Li Ran turned around and slowly looked at the old village chief Morga, who curtsied and expressed his opinion with actions, which also saved Li Ran a lot of explanations. (To be continued.) )
