Chapter 1215: Application for a Decisive Battle
On the side of the stronghold, although in this battle, the stronghold also suffered heavy casualties, but it solved the immediate urgency and severely defeated the army of Duke Nicholas, whether it was the three major dukes or the military and political chief Olus, including those noble lords, in addition to being excited, they also expressed their deep gratitude to Li Ran for coming.
The huge threat that has been there for several months has finally been completely resolved at this time, and even Li Ran's reputation here is rising, coupled with the prestige he established before, and the subsequent momentum of Duke Eggbert, Li Ran is here, vaguely approaching the three major dukes and military and political chiefs, and even in the meeting, Li Ran has more supporters behind him.
In the era of war, everyone habitually respects the strong, which is a natural phenomenon and a law of survival, and Li Ran's victories here are gradually playing his prestige, and even the Saranka Empire on the other side is also called the wolf of Khan Lok, coupled with the hatred of killing the Duke of Antipater before, at this time it is reflected in the bounty list set up to inspire barbarian warriors.
And in this list of combat merits in order to inspire barbarian warriors, the Saranka Empire once offered a reward for the head of this Prince of Terryth to the same level as several kings of the Holy Falcon Alliance, which also shows the hatred and importance for Li Ran.
When he first heard the news, Li Ran was drinking with several noble lords of the Bagastu Empire, although Duke Egbert, as the commander, did not come because of something, but the Marquis of Titus, as the host, treated Li Ran as a guest, plus the company of the surrounding noble lords and generals, the scene was also very lively.
"I didn't expect that as an outsider, one day, I would be lucky enough to receive the same reward as several lords" After learning about this from the mouth of the Marquis of Titus, Li Ran couldn't help but smile and said.
Seeing that Li Ran didn't seem to care, the noble lords present also laughed, but after a while, Titus looked at Li Ran and deliberately reminded: "This so-called battle merit list is nothing more than a gimmick made by the other party, but adults should not take this too lightly, those barbarians are already fierce, plus they are provoked by this matter, if they know that you are on the field, they will undoubtedly work harder, you should pay more attention to it then, and it is best to keep more guards by your side."
In this regard, Li Ran also nodded and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to this matter, but you also know my situation, I don't know when the next time, I may be sent by Duke Griffiths to carry out some dangerous mission."
Hearing Li Ran's complaint, the few people present at this time couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and then Titus also sighed and said: "It is not easy for us to say about this matter, but these things that Lord Griffitz has done are indeed unfair, who doesn't know your great military exploits, to put it mildly, including that he was able to defend the fortress before, it was also thanks to your help, but why didn't this person appreciate it at all, especially the last thing, alas!" I don't know what to say."
Glancing at the marquis, Li Ran also smiled and said: "Regarding that matter, as long as we know it in our hearts, in fact, I think it's a good thing, after all, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to know the adults and everyone here."
"My lord is so bold!" At this time, a lord next to him raised his glass and said, "Just this sentence of yours, let's have a toast"
"That's it, on the battlefield, if it were all like you, my lord, we would have solved this Saranca a long time ago," said another person who stood up and raised his glass.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was also a little drunk, and then, Li Ran also put forward the idea of exchanging some prisoners again, which was naturally no problem for everyone present, after all, in the previous exchanges, they also knew that this Prince of Terres was very generous in this regard.
And with them as a matchmaker, Li Ran can also convert the forces that captured the Saranka Empire before into the forces he needs, and the most of them are none other than Templars and mages, and there are also some biological forces of other races that the other party does not need.
After negotiating this, Li Ran chatted with Titus and the others for a while, until the night was getting darker, and he left here with the support of several guards.
"It seems that this Lord Terryth has a deep grudge against Duke Griffiths," and not long after seeing Li Ran away, a person suddenly spoke.
One of the people next to him couldn't help but cut and said: "I have been yin by that old guy Griffiths several times, in other words, you may have led the army to find him desperately, this Prince Territh is too good to talk."
"That's also something that can't be helped, after all, he is just a foreign lord, although his strength is very strong, but some things have to be endured" At this time, the man also sighed and said.
Subsequently, several people present also looked at the Marquis of Titus, and the latter nodded after thinking about it and said, "You should report this matter to Lord Egbert first, but in my opinion, this person is really worth wooing."
Although it was only two short sentences, the Marquis of Titus undoubtedly expressed his attitude, as for what Duke Egbert and the people above thought, it was not something he could decide.
On this side, after Li Ran left Bagastu's defense area seemingly drunk, he also slowly straightened up, and glanced back, revealing a hint of enlightenment.
It has been several months since the Saranka Empire brazenly launched the first round of attacks, and no one knows how long this battle will last, but with the escalation of the war, Li Ran has also led his troops to battle many times, and once again with his command and good troops, the reputation of the Wolf of Khan Lok has not gone away, and at the same time, it has also made people remember this Prince Terreis who dared to fight tough battles.
And for An Zhenxi, she never thought that she would one day be able to participate in a war of this scale, with the rapid improvement of command, at this time has reached a critical point, the legion under her control has also changed from the previous ordinary elf cavalry to a mixed elf corps of nearly 10,000 people, including the elven cavalry archers above the super level, and the high elf cavalry corps known for its mobility.
At noon that day, she had just cooperated with Bao Zhuoyi to kill a barbarian army, and just as she was about to lead the team to chase and kill, Cai Chang, who came later, called back her troops.
"Sister Cai, what's going on? Is there going to be a decisive battle? After arranging the troops to be stationed, An Zhenxi also walked into this temporary Chinese army camp for the first time and asked.
"You are still the smartest, unlike a few of them, and you asked for a long time after you came," Cai Chang also replied with a smile.
Hearing this, An Zhenxi couldn't help but feel a little excited, since the last time Saranca applied for a decisive battle, she knew that this day would come sooner or later, because such a long continuous battle, if it was consumed any longer, the soldiers on both sides would run out of energy, so launching a decisive battle at this time was undoubtedly the best ending for both sides.
"Have you chosen a location?" However, soon after, An Zhenxi asked a little nervously, "Is our mission still confirmed?" ”
At this time, Zhang Debiao next to him also said with a smile: "Don't worry, the location is the place we proposed last time, as for our mission, I heard that with the help of Duke Egbert, this time it will not be in the forward line again"
Hearing this, An Zhenxi then looked at the few people around her, and only after seeing their expressions did she breathe a sigh of relief, what she was most worried about was that at the time of the decisive battle, these people would be sent to the front line of the battlefield again, because then no matter how they won or lost in the end, their casualties would undoubtedly be very heavy.
"The decisive battle site mentioned by our side obviously has a great advantage over us" And after breathing a sigh of relief, she still said with some puzzlement: "The Saranca side agreed so quickly, could there be any fraud in this?" ”
In this regard, Cai Chang smiled and spread his hands and said, "What can they do if they don't agree?" In this situation, if both sides hold their strongholds, I am afraid that they will not be able to finish the war until the end of the war, which is obviously more beneficial to our side, and if they want to open up the situation here, and then support the other three theaters, they can only end the war here as soon as possible, and then they will have to accept our opinion! As for whether there will be fraud in it, I think there should be some hidden forces in it, but according to what Brother Ran said, this is all a matter of the three dukes and the military and political chief Aulus, and at this point, the Holy Falcon Alliance, which is dominated by the human race, should also be prepared."
Listening to Cai Chang say so much in one breath, everyone also nodded slightly, just like Cai Chang said, for them, the final decision on this matter is not in their own hands, what they are worried about now is nothing more than what position their side is arranged, and how to minimize casualties in this decisive battle.
For the Holy Falcon Alliance and the Saranca Empire, this decisive battle will undoubtedly determine the final ownership of this area, if Griffith's side wins, the Holy Falcon Alliance side will regain control of this area, further compressing the war zone of the Saranka Empire to the central area of the border.
And if Duke Nicholas wins, then this area will be completely reduced to the war zone of the Saranka Empire, although from the current point of view, it is not very possible to attack the territory of the alliance from here, but it can attract more troops of the Holy Falcon Alliance, at least from the perspective of the situation, if they succeed in controlling here, they can create more opportunities for the Saranka Empire's war zone in the center of the border.
