Chapter 396: The Underworld

Fortunately, Zhou Xun and others have many years of experience working in the third world, and they have also participated in some large-scale battles before, although most of them are players of the nature of PK and have no experience in leading troops. But I quickly got used to it. It can also be ordered and forbidden when cooperating on the battlefield. When the large amount of loot captured was counted afterwards, it was not overly surprised, although it was a little surprised.

Because they already knew at this time that this was the result of spending several days and risking desperately in the entire territory, and any war was related to the life and death of many people, and it was no longer like before, if you can't beat others, you can hang up a few levels at most, and just take a few days off and come back from practice.

On the premise that the scout leader Histan expanded the scope of his investigation, in the next few months, the weather was not too cold while the winter snow was not too heavy. In addition to the daily harvesting and collection, Li Ran sent troops 7 times in a row, except for one of which fell into a crisis and was attacked by two tribes back and forth. Nearly 100 minotaur warriors were lost, and the next 6 victories were all won, and a lot of booty was brought back, and at the same time, more people were brought back, so that the houses that had surplus were strained again, but fortunately, they had been expanding all this time, including the construction of houses, and it was barely enough at this time.

During the expedition, perhaps because of their proximity to the main road of migration, in just a few months, they actually saw several super-large tribe migrants, among which there was even a super barbarian tribe, and there were tens of thousands of high-level thunderbirds alone. I even saw the pet figure of the super class Beamon Behemoth inside.

With the operation of the Artisan Hall, the equipment of the warriors of all races in the territory has also taken on a new look, especially the three major melee units of the main battle. Leopard warriors, Modo warriors, and minotaurs. All of them are dressed in blood ape skin armor, and they look quite large from a distance.

And the crazy expedition during this time. The benefits of bringing back are also very obvious, and nearly 40,000 gold coins alone have been brought back. Nearly 400 high-ranking warriors were captured, more than 1,000 middle-rank warriors, and even more low-rank warriors, with nearly 4,000 inhabitants alone.

Seeing that the outside environment is not suitable for large-scale expeditions, whether it is the snow on the ground or the mud formed after melting, it will put the troops in a desperate situation, so Li Ran used it all to deal with internal affairs in the next half a month, and began to build a living hall in full swing.

As for the cost of construction. Naturally, it came from the proceeds brought back from these expeditions, except for leaving some troops applicable to some territories, Li Ran sold almost all the prisoners of war, leaving only about a thousand residents.

In the case of full operation, it took nearly half a month to deal with all this, and at this time, there were more than 7,000 residents of various ethnic groups and indigenous people in the territory, and 100 low-level guards, who were responsible for the management of the territory on weekdays.

As the main melee combat class, there are 85 giant warriors and 320 minotaur warriors. There are 140 Modo warriors and 270 leopard warriors.

In addition, there are 73 frost mastiffs, 42 ptarmigans, and 32 bison. There are 24 dragon flies, 8 twelve-order armored dragon beasts, and 6 weird spider web golems.

And what is worthy of Li Ran is the most happy. Soon after Lonilovny and Relch returned to the Third World, the mysterious Orcs of Zereramo and the Mage Tower led by Kunai Soyd were all surrendered to Li Ran.

Among them, the Zeriramo orc clan alone had 220 ordinary tenth-order warriors. There are also 50 twelfth-order blood guards. In addition, the three Great Prophets and the seven leaders are all thirteenth-order strength, which greatly improves the top strength of the territory. And, of course, their people, 700 in all.

And the Mage Tower is here. Some mages left after learning that the tower master Kunai Soyd was going to the battle map, and this time there were 27 archmages over the tenth order, 75 intermediate mages, and 112 mage apprentices. In addition, 135 ninth-order sulfur steel golems were also brought.

In addition, Li Ran's territory originally had a total of 234 mid-level elf archers and 112 mid-level mages, and at this time, the territory could deploy more than 400 ranged troops, including 34 high-level archmages, not including dozens of scouts who could be ranged and the two top tower masters, Kunai Soyd and Lieshi.

If you want to count, in addition, there are dozens of elven troops in the territory, and 356 dwarven warriors are barely considered melee troops, but these are ignored by Li Ran, the former is chaotic and completely unable to form combat effectiveness, and the latter is mainly used for training and future mining.

At this moment, the territory with more than a thousand troops, nearly half of which is high-level troops, has finally gotten rid of the fate of being at the mercy of others.

That night, Li Ran gathered all the key personnel in the council hall, and after announcing the current situation of the territory, he decided on the next course of action, which developed into a theme, not only the construction of the living hall, but also the construction of the mage tower with the arrival of Kunai Soyd. The construction of a lumber yard and the detection of logging sites for next year are also included in the decision.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but give a lot of opinions, and several territorial elders even pointed out that there might be mines in those places, which greatly narrowed the scope of investigation and improved the efficiency of investigation.

In the end, Li Ran even proposed to take advantage of the winter time to take the underground graveyard of the undead as the main target. Later, the leader of the scouts, Hisstein, first recounted the results of the investigation during this period, and further detailed the results of the previous reconnaissance, while not ruling out the possibility of a large cemetery among them.

From his information, in the cemetery closest to the entrance, the number of low-level undead creatures such as skeleton warriors and skeleton archers was about 2,500, and there were 1,200 fifth-order walking corpses and sixth-order zombies, of which the fifth-order walking corpses were mostly and the zombies were about 300. There are nearly 700 vampires in the main combat class of the cemetery. In addition, sixty Tenth-Order Necromancers and two squadrons of 200 Tenth-Order Dark Warriors were found, in addition to more than thirty Eleventh-Order Ghost Knights.

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, with the existing forces in the territory, it was enough to deal with this cemetery. After all, the other party's high-level troops together are only more than three hundred.

However, going out to attack the city is not as good as defending the city, and it is impossible for all the territory to be dispatched, not to mention that winter is coming, although there may not be a large tribe that threatens the territory passing by, but some creatures that can't find food are more likely to attack the territory, so it is more important to stay behind some warriors.

And although this cemetery closest to the entrance does not have many ranged troops, there are still a lot of low-level and mid-level troops. It is also very dangerous to be surrounded by them. So for a moment no one spoke.

But at this time, Li Ran's determination had been decided, and as he was lucky enough to successfully enter the battle map in the early stage, it was impossible for him to waste this precious time in vain. Even if the surface of the winter solstice is not suitable for fighting, the battlefield beneath the surface will be another opportunity for development. What's more, next to the territory, how could he tolerate the existence of such a force that could threaten the territory at any time.

At this time, seeing that the lord's determination had been decided, after a while, everyone gave their opinions, and Zhou Xun and others, who had been almost a month or two now, also gave some better insights.

After a few more days, it was finally a sunny day, and the gate of the territory suddenly opened at noon that day, and then a team slowly went out.

Li Ran dispatched a total of nearly 1,000 people in this operation, of which 200 Minotaur warriors were at the forefront, and Xia Houben and the leader Saquille were in charge. Next up are 200 Panther warriors, with Shadowblade and leader Borken in charge. Next up was a team of nearly 100 people composed of Modo Rage and Modo Executioners, mainly responsible for Cao Dayong and Zhang Debiao. At the same time, Li Ran also handed over 30 thunderbirds.

In addition, there are 200 mid-level elven archers, 150 middle-level mages, and 20 archmages who are in charge of Tang Zhi and Master Lie'erxi, and Wu Tongtong and Zhang Juan are in charge of assisting.

In addition, there were 30 bison, 6 ankylosaurus beasts and 5 spider web golems, as well as hundreds of people's convoy supplies, which Li Ran handed over to Zhou Xun, Sun Jianye and Cai Chang. In addition to Zheng Haitao's own team, Li Ran also handed over 18 middle-level priests.

As for Li Ran himself, in addition to being mainly responsible for commanding, this trip also brought 50 giant warriors, 100 Zereramo orc warriors, and 100 ninth-order sulfur steel golems. The Phantom Ice Girl carries 50 frost mastiffs, and its leader, Gray Ash, is naturally among them.

Looking at the three Orc Captains of Zerelamo, Turlan, and Tur Ingot around him, as well as the prophet Tanilov, Li Ran brought nearly ten top-level troops this time.

That night, the brigade finally reached the entrance to the underground. Li Ran gave an order. Hundreds of skilled villagers quickly set up their tents and began cooking. After sending dozens more leopard warriors on patrol, the army spent the night here.

The next morning, Hisstein led dozens of scouts into the Underworld first. And the troops entered it only after eating.

The underground world was not pitch black, and the glowing green light overhead and the white light that flashed from the surrounding walls from time to time did not indicate that this was another civilization and order.

And getting closer and closer to the target cemetery at any time, the undead sentinels who were killed by the scouts in front of them fell from time to time, which made the soldiers feel the atmosphere of war in advance. (To be continued......)
