Chapter 353: One Drink
"Then why can't we let Tang Counselor guide us? Isn't he of a higher rank? Seeing that the goal was reached, Ziyun Huahua finally opened his mouth and said with a smile.
Li Ran looked at her and said: "Although the professions are different, the fighting style between you and Shadow Blade is similar, belonging to the fierce and radical kind, which is somewhat similar to Xia Houben's fighting style, so only he is the most suitable to guide you here, as for Tang Zhi is more alternative, you can't learn it if you want to, and it is very likely to bring you into the pit, don't think about it."
Being able to reach the top level of the Killer, Ziyun Blossom naturally understands some of these truths, and she didn't say anything about it, but continued to ask with some curiosity: "Then can I ask you, how can I break through to reach the Seeker?" Sister Hua did tell me some things before, but I didn't understand them, I felt like they were all in the sky, what kind of feelings, what artistic conceptions, all of them were these things."
Li Ran smiled and said: "If you ask me, what I can answer is actually similar to what Sister Hua told you, when the experience and technology reach a bottleneck, the only thing left is the spiritual breakthrough, as for the spiritual breakthrough, what is it if it is not perception, as for the mastery of artistic conception, in fact, to put it bluntly, the killing world you are now mastering is also one of them, can you say that the killing world can be seen and touched?" You can also take the killing world as the foundation, in fact, everyone's killing world is mostly similar, but the artistic conception is varied, where there is your unique life accumulation, the ultimate convergence of thoughts, so as to change from the virtual to the real, into the influence of everything around you"
frowned thoughtfully, and couldn't help but show a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she quickly waved it away. Because Li Ran patted her on the shoulder at the right time and said to her, "You go and inform Doric and the old village chief Morga, so that everyone can get ready." The enemy seems to be coming! ”
Ziyunhua was startled happily and hurriedly looked up. After a long time, looking at the puff of dust and smoke rolling in the distance, Li Ran raised his head and took a deep breath, this was a simple action, probably because of nervousness, but at this time, Li Ran's sucking was like a long whale sucking water, and even the surrounding space seemed to ripple for it. Spit out a drink for a long time!
Although Li Ran's words were light, he stirred up waves with the observatory as the center, and everyone's hearts seemed to be enlightened at once, and the sorrow and sigh shrouded in the territory were swept away, and a trace of war intent arose in his chest for no reason, vowing to tear apart the fog that was blocking the front, so that the aura of the entire territory was shocked.
At this time, the faces of the people who were preparing for battle could not help but change, and Rhech and Tanilov could not help but glance at each other, and looked up at the man on the lookout with some awe. As for the Purple Cloud Blossom and Shadow Blade who had just come downstairs, although they didn't understand it, it would never affect them to see the power of Li Ran's soft shout, which could eliminate the negative impact and inspire the fighting spirit of the entire territory, this was by no means something that could be explained by a simple skill. Thinking of what Li Ran said to her before, Ziyunhua showed a solemn and thoughtful expression.
At this time, only Tang Shi showed a look of memory, then smiled lonely, and whispered to himself alone. Brother Ran, Brother Ran, you are a hero of this generation. Get rid of your nature, abandon all the lonely penances you have practiced for years, and look forward to advancing one day. However, in the end, I still failed to break through the slightest, and I really couldn't feel what kind of pain should be in my heart, and even this cry was not shouted for many years.
After a long time, everyone standing on the wall of the territory finally saw the orc tribe clearly this time, the other party was obviously prepared, stopped a stone's throw away from the gate of the territory, and slowly put out an offensive formation, only to see that there were about three or four hundred orc infantry in the front, although they were crowded together and shouted that they were not well assembled, some were carrying knives and some holding shields, but they could barely form a team, and the overall strength was around the fifth or sixth order. Hundreds of centaurs and half-goats roamed on both sides, and these long-range attackers were now armed with longbows and crossbows, and their eyes were firmly on the defenders on the city wall, making attack postures from time to time.
Behind this group of orc infantry was a group of nearly a hundred leopard-headed orcs, and from Dorik, I learned that these were leopard warriors, and their overall strength had reached the ninth order, and those who were more vicious and tall were the leopard warriors who had reached the tenth order.
As for the back of the team, there were some simple convoys, in addition to the escort orcs who transported the team, the leader and some prophets and wizards were also there, of course, the most terrifying thing about this trip was the dozens of giant warriors up to three meters high, whether it was the giant mace they held in their hands, or the huge rocks placed beside them. All make those who see it feel timid for the first time.
As if to show off their strength, the orc team suddenly let out a series of howls, some of which were holding shields and constantly slapping their swords, and some of them directly slapped their chests and screamed. The good thing is that the morale of that side keeps rising, and some low-level troops on Li Ran's side are afraid, but fortunately, the effect of Li Ran's soft shout before is still there, and there is no retreat, and there is the warlike Orc such as Zerelamo who is even more excited in this most primitive provocation, holding the serrated long knife in his hand, and he can't wait to rush out and kill now.
A horn sounded, only to see the other party's howl a little slower, out of it came out of a leopard warrior, this guy is obviously a leader, compared to the spotted leather armor worn by other leopard warriors, he is even more on the outside of a layer of bright silver chain mail, but the body is not bloated, and the body seems to be ready to send out a powerful explosive force at any time between steps.
Taking the longbow handed by the centaur next to him, the leopard warrior picked up a letter arrow and shot it into the city, and the old village chief Morga immediately sent someone to hand it over to Li Ran, as expected, the other party made such a big formation, mainly to ask for a batch of grain gold coins, and even wrote a detailed list of what was needed.
Just seeing that the gold coins asked for on it were 2,000, Li Ran smiled and said to the old village chief Morga: "How did you deal with this kind of thing before? ”
The old village chief Morga smiled bitterly and said: "Why should the lord ask knowingly, naturally I went out to bargain, generally speaking, it is good to be able to reduce it by half."
Li Ran smiled and said, "Then please go and run again, see what is their bottom limit this time?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the old village chief Morga was obvious, but even the people around him also started to discuss, Li Ran made such a big move, could it be that he was scared when he saw that the other party was overwhelmed? Especially some old people in the territory wanted to come over and ask the reason, but they were stopped outside by Xia Houben reaching out.
But since the lord gave the order at this time, although the old village chief didn't understand it, he considered that this could reduce the casualties in the territory after all, so he nodded and walked down the wall, opened a small door with the help of the guards and walked out.
"Elders, do you think if we don't talk well this time, can we still keep our homes?" Li Ran waved his hand, motioned for Xia Houben to let them go, and said.
As soon as several elders discussed together, they sent a representative and said: "Lord Lord, I think even if you can't talk, as long as you put all your forces out, I believe they won't dare to do anything, although these orcs can only deceive the good and fear the evil, but they are not stupid, they will not fight the war knowing that they can't take advantage of it, why bother to give them supplies, money and food, those are our preparations for the winter."
Li Ran seemed to think for a while and said, "You're right, since those materials are our materials for the winter, I will never hand them over easily."
"Then why do you let the Morga people go out and talk to them now?" The old man said with some incomprehension.
Looking back at Wu Tongtong and the others, and finding that they were also a little confused, Li Ran smiled and said: "Since we are not ready to hand over the supplies, then no one knows what the reaction of these orcs will be, their morale is as high as when they first arrive, if there is a battle at this time, it will definitely be unfavorable to us, why not use the negotiation time to let them pause, plus the information from Histan just now, they have not eaten for thirty miles, I think it will not be a bad thing for us to wait any longer."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they couldn't help but sigh that the lord was thinking far-reaching, and they all cast admiring glances, and even Master Lieshi on the side poked the orc prophet Tanilov on his side and smiled: "I'll just say that the lord won't be so seedless, it seems that you are really treacherous, unlike us people, who only know how to study battles every day, and they know these things" (to be continued......
