Of the four steel shield guards, three were visibly stronger than the others, while the other was extremely thin. And after the battle, Li Ran discovered that these four people were extraordinary, each of them had no less than ninth-order strength, and the man who cut down was even more innate with divine power, and every time he blocked the impact, he could take a few steps back from Barranca's guard Wu Qizhen, making many of his moves impossible to exert at all.

The battle lasted for several minutes, and the cheers and cheers came one after another, which may be the reason for the decline in physical strength in several consecutive battles before, Barranca's guard Uri and Tucker's swordsman Gilro were unable to win for a while, but fortunately, they had rich combat experience, and after a while, Gilro, who found an opportunity, defeated the two who fought with him with the help of attack advantage.

The other two steel shield guards were still struggling with the Barranca guard Uchi, especially the thin man who was born with divine power caused great trouble to the Barranca guard Uchi, and the attack of the other steel shield guard was also in place, obviously different from the others, and the battle entered a stalemate for a while.

After a while, Li Ran waved his hand to stop the game in a timely manner, announced the result as a draw, and after rewarding the two of them with ten gold coins each, he asked the names of the two people, at this time he knew that the two were still brothers, no wonder they had such a tacit understanding just now, so they announced in public that these two people were their captains and vice-captains, and through the cheers and cheers of the crowd, it is not difficult to see that these two people are also people who serve the public.

After several hours of interaction and the investment of hundreds of gold coins, these stainless steel shield guards had a great deal of favorability towards the lord, and at the same time, they also had a deeper understanding of the strength of the territory, when Li Ran left. I couldn't help but line up neatly and salute.

Three days later, in the large conference hall. Li Ran asked the scout leader Histan to give everyone a brief description of the location of the two main cities, the dungeon force and the undead force.

Through the investigation of the past few days, the locations of the two main cities have been determined. And judging from the information of the dungeon forces currently available, its lord is a dark elf queen, and her strength should exceed the scope of the top troops, reaching the sixteenth rank of the super class. The city's inhabitants are mainly dark elves, underground dwarves, and minotaurs. Among them, the dark elves account for the majority, so the strength of these three is also the most, of course, there are also many troops like Mizasha, evil eye, harpy, and lion scorpion.

When asked about the details of his troops, the scout leader said that he had not yet found out clearly, but judging from the size and population of the city, it was initially estimated that there should be about 5,000 high-level troops. There are also more than 10,000 mid-level troops. The low-level troops are mainly Hippogriffs and Underground Dwarf warriors, and the number should not be less than 20,000.

On the other side, the undead forces have even less information, and for the time being, they only know the specific location of their main city, and they have not yet conducted reconnaissance of their troops. However, the leader of the scouts also made a great discovery, and they had discovered a large vein of red gold in the center of the two cities, and the dungeon and the undead were both in full swing to mine them, and there were frequent clashes over this.

"Large red gold veins!" Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. It's a very valuable material, and it's so versatile that it's not only used to make good equipment, but also to many high-end buildings. For example, the existing mage tower in the territory, if you need to advance in the future, you need a lot of red gold. The advanced mage tower will naturally generate elemental attraction, increasing the advancement speed of the inner mage.

Despite some red-eyedness. But everyone knew that the more important thing was at the moment, and after a while, they turned the conversation to the two forces of the undead and the dungeon. However, in the face of the huge disparity in troops, it is difficult to protect oneself, so what can be done.

After discussing for a long time, everyone still listed expansion and recruitment as the main proposals, and after inquiring about the recent construction situation, the atmosphere at the venue couldn't help but be a little dull.

At this moment, Phantom Ice Nan ran over from outside and said with a smile: "There is news from Brother Xia Hou that he has successfully lured and annihilated that group of brute bulls, and a total of 135 have been captured."

At this time, the movement in the conference hall resumed, and everyone hurriedly congratulated Li Ran, adding more than 100 high-level troops to the territory. Since the last battle, all the Thunderbirds and Brute Bulls in the territory have been killed, and they have seen their power more than once before for the Brute Bulls with the ability to charge.

It seems that inspired by this news, everyone can't help but think of something, it seems that war is the guarantee for the rapid development of the territory, at this time the leader of the leopard people, Borken, proposed that even if there will be no major war in the underground world for the time being, it is better to focus on the surface. In the cold winter, many creatures will take risks, so it is better to lure them into the territory one by one to exterminate them.

This is also a way out of the way, everyone nodded in agreement, with the current strength of the territory, even if they go out to fight, they are really not afraid of some small and medium-sized tribes and biotas. The only problem is the condition of the road, but the effect of this goes both ways, and except for some special creatures, no one can exert enough strength in the snow.

And at this time, these people also thought that there were more than 200 ice blade silverback demon wolves and 60 frost elephant mastiffs in the territory, and they would not be affected by the snow at all. In addition, the Elemental Lamp God is not afraid of the snow, and even the agile Leopard Warriors and Elven Archers can overcome the snow problem. Others, such as the Orcs of Zerelamo, the Modo Warriors, and the Minotaurs, are a little worse, but they can only show their strength when they are close to each other.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ran also preliminarily agreed with this opinion, discussed it with everyone, and determined on the spot the candidates and troops who would go to the surface territory next.

And with Li Ran's decision, at noon the next day, the gate of the territory located in the underground world slowly opened, and with Li Ran returning to the surface territory this time, in addition to a few teammates, there were also Doric and a group of leaders, bringing back a total of thousands of troops this time, including the silverback demon wolf and the frost elephant mastiff naturally all brought back, in addition to 300 leopard warriors, hundreds of high-rock minotaurs and 200 selected eighth-order elven archers. As for the lamp god Li Ran, he brought back 100 people, in addition to dozens of high-level scouts.

After returning to the territory, in order to expand the scope of the search, Li Ran asked Tang Zhi to be fully responsible for the investigation, only to see that the latter brought the jungle druid that can be turned into a bird and the only 18 horned eagles in the territory, and the first step was to conduct aerial reconnaissance, and once the target was found, the scout was sent to conduct actual reconnaissance, which greatly improved the scope and speed of the investigation.

It was precisely because of this kind of dragnet reconnaissance that Li Ran's side sent troops 7 times in the next two months, the smallest of which was faced with only a few hundred middle-level troops and a few high-level troops of Liao Liao, and the largest one was against a barbarian tribe with thousands of yak warriors.
