However, the habit that has been cultivated for such a long time has made Zhou Xun not ask too much, but after determining the action plan with Li Ran, he silently decided in his heart to hide part of the content of the information first.

On the same day, he also ordered the army at the edge of the central area of the Sunset Mountains to come and converge, and on this night, he gathered a group of teammates and generals at all levels to hold a definite battle meeting.

I have to say that everyone was very excited and nervous about the crucial battle of whether they could gain a foothold here, and after receiving the order from Li Ran, except for Xia Houben and Tang Shi, who each brought 10,000 troops and two demigods to the battle, the others also began to actively deploy defense.

Compared to the other people in the territory, including the two clan leaders of Elle and Old Thor, the Cliff Giant Patriarch Fergus can be said to be the one who believes in Li Ran's ability the most among all of them, after all, he has seen the whole process of Haasin from unwillingness to surrender that day, and knows that a person who can be feared and recognized by creatures like the Titan of the Dark Realm will never be as simple as they see.

Despite this, he still did not have much hope that his ally would be able to enter the neutral zone and establish a stronghold, because in his opinion, although the number of troops invested by the other side was impressive, it was far from being able to gain a foothold in the central area.

However, to his great surprise, when he was entrusted by this ally to escort two men and a reinforcement army, he found that they had already opened all the passages into the central area before they knew it.

Out of longing for the central area, even he did not resist the invitation of this ally, unconsciously followed him into this place, and was deeply shocked by the power of the law here.

Compared to others, he, whose strength had reached the peak of the mythical level, knew very well what the meaning behind the power of such a perfect law was.

And at noon on this day, just when he was hesitating to stay here, Li Ran also found him, and after some communication with him, he chose to stay here.

Because of this, in the following days, he really saw what a real battlefield commander is, and understood why this ally was able to go all the way here.

In the face of the annoyed and angry Gold Casting War Ape Clan, when engulfing the attacks launched by several races, this person not only used several legions in the early stage to effectively distract the attention of the other party, but also used the combination of various arms in the defensive battle to guard the water, even from his point of view, he really couldn't find any of the flaws.

However, even so, they were still invincible to each other on the frontal battlefield, including his help to entangle a strong man in the gold-casting war ape, although the army's allies used the previous plan to barely hold on for two days, but the ethnic group that can gain a foothold in the central area, even if it is only a gold-casting war ape that is still on the edge, also proves with their strength that even if they can survive in this area, their strength is also an existence that his ally can not resist with all his strength.

But just when he thought that the defeat was certain and considered when to leave, in the middle of the next day's battle, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.

The moment he saw a magnificent floating castle and thousands of giant flying rays flying from the sky, the patriarch of the Cliff Giant Clan finally knew what the two people he had escorted this time had brought with him, so that his ally could brazenly launch a war against the Gold Casting War Ape Clan.

At the same time, after seeing all this, for those gold-forging war apes, except for some worries about the hundreds of giant star-breaking ballistas on this floating castle, neither the three thousand steel puppets that jumped down from above, nor the two thousand high-level warriors wearing magic rune armor who still remained on it, did not let them waver in the slightest.

Because in their opinion, whether it is the three thousand steel puppets or those magic rune warriors, although their strength is not bad, but at most they are about the same as ordinary adult clansmen, although the sudden appearance at this time does have some strange effects, but the powerful gold-casting war ape clan has never been afraid of any battle, and has absolute confidence to annihilate them all.

Not to mention those mutated flying rays, although they are not good at air combat, but eleven demigods who can only parry their opponents can be solved by dividing one or two.

However, what made them dare not move, and even felt a little desperate, was that at this time, those warriors wearing magic rune armor did not hold weapons in their hands, but they were all holding several young bodies of their clan.

And at this moment, as the patriarch of the Cliff Giant Clan, Fergus finally knew why his ally had been provoking the other party all the time, and it turned out that his real battlefield was not here.

The reason why he has been provoking him, and even forcing him to attack on all fronts in anger, is to prepare for the ambush of these people who sneak up on his rear, and as early as the beginning of the war, he planted a real killing move near the territory of these gold-cast war apes.

Although before that, he also told the other party some rumors about these gold-casting war apes, but what Fergus did not expect was that his ally could use this as a breakthrough to coerce such a powerful gold-casting war ape clan to surrender in humiliation.

Looking at the gold-cast war apes who gave up the war knives or totem poles in their hands, the patriarch of the cliff giant clan suddenly felt a trace of regret for some reason.

As for Li Ran, it was a bit of luck to be able to subdue this gold-casting war ape this time, and he didn't expect that even if he took advantage of the opponent's unscrupulous and tyrannical character, so that his forces did not concentrate too much on the attack, he was still not their opponent on the frontal battlefield, and finally took advantage of the opponent's psychological weakness to make him submit.

However, even so, in this short two-day battle, and not when the other party concentrated its forces to attack with all its might, its losses were also very heavy, in addition to nearly half of the soldiers killed, even a demigod who had just been subdued, one of them also fell into it, which undoubtedly made Li Ran feel a little distressed.

However, in terms of the corresponding gains, all this is nothing, although due to the dignity of the demigod powerhouse, in the end, among the eleven gold-casting war ape demigods, only three were willing to stay as guardians, and the other eight chose to leave, but as the price of being able to subdue this gold-casting war ape clan as he wished, Li Ran didn't say anything.

However, even so, Li Ran also knew that this time he had gained a lot, not to mention the other materials that he could scavenge in their overlords, just a few of the top divine items that were difficult to see in the outside world, it was already an amazing gain.

However, after this battle, Li Ran also had no choice but to temporarily stop his progress, one of which was of course because of the damaged troops, and on the other hand, it was because of the low morale of the gold-casting war apes, and almost no loyalty.

For the unruly gold-casting war ape clan, Li Ran at this time did not dare to be too strong, so in this case, he also adopted the means of envy and power, while appeasing them, he also took some necessary tough measures to let them understand their identity at this moment, but it will take a certain amount of time until all this has an effect.

And taking advantage of this time, Li Ran also urgently transferred a group of dwarven craftsmen from the Silver Wing stronghold and the Dusk Stronghold, wanting to improve the fortifications here as soon as possible, after all, compared to the powerful gold-casting war ape clan, those warriors in his headquarters still rely more on the fortifications.

In addition, Li Ran also found the gold casting war ape and some native creatures, and while consulting them about the surrounding situation, he also sent a large number of scouts to investigate, after all, in the current situation of low loyalty, some things are still good to be sure by themselves.

However, while this side is busy consolidating this stronghold, there is also some bad news coming from the Dawning City, I don't know if it is because someone is instigating it behind the scenes, judging from some information received, those surrounding empires seem to have some private actions.

However, Li Ran didn't pay attention to this, he believed that this situation was probably because during this time, he transferred too many troops from there, resulting in the lack of troops in Dawning City, but as long as he didn't express his position for a day, unless they confirmed the information, they should still not dare to move in a short time.

Of course, when it comes to his most core main city, Li Ran will definitely not take it lightly, so when Zhou Xun rushed back, he also deliberately told him to inform Verton Marr of this matter after he returned, and then send people to keep an eye on the Rebecca Empire, because from the current point of view, they are the only ones who can pose a threat to them and are most likely to be the instigators behind the scenes.

However, at the same time, the death of a large number of high-level legions also made Li Ran begin to re-examine the current situation of the regular legions, although during this time, in addition to harvesting several demigod powerhouses, he also obtained many powerful forbidden land creatures by integrating their races.

However, compared with the nearly 100,000 high-ranking legions that died, its number is much less, although it can be said that the overall combat effectiveness does not decrease but rises, but in the war between empires, a crossbow arrow is shot at a chariot crossbow arrow, and an epic class of troops is often the same as an ordinary class.

In addition, there is another point, that is, in Li Ran's opinion, although the biological troops of the Sunset Mountain Range are strong individually, except for a small number of warriors such as the Minotaur and the Ancient Beast, most of the other creatures often only fight according to instinct, and even the former, in the absence of standard equipment and professional training, is not capable of meeting the needs of large-scale, or even super-large-scale wars.
