Soon everyone came to the conference room one after another, and after Li Ran told them about the situation, everyone thought for a while and gave their opinions, there are the leaders of the leopard people in the main battle, Borken and Tulga, especially Borken, his clansmen have been killed by this group of vampires in the past few days, and naturally want to take revenge. There are also people like Doric and others who said that they can't provoke these undead creatures, after all, there are too many of them, and no one can guarantee how big this underground undead graveyard is, whether there will be more powerful undead lords in it, and if there is a war, it will not attract the attention of other undead.

Li Ran thought about it for a long time, Doric and the others did make sense to think about it, in the current situation, the barbarian tribes and biota that were on guard against migration were the key, although with the harsh winter approaching, the barbarian tribes and biota passing by during this time had decreased, but from time to time there were some people who would pass by, and those who dared to move so late were some large tribes, and now they really didn't have the energy to pay attention to this underground graveyard of the undead.

After calming Borgken, Li Ran finally decided to separate the team that went out to cut wood from the team that went to the swamp and lake to fish and gather, and the villagers who were logging ran away, and Shadow Blade and Wu Tongtong led the team to avoid the vampire monitoring area and find another dense forest.

Considering that the logging team would go farther away from the territory and the working hours would be shortened, the group discussed and decided to increase the number of villagers so as not to delay the construction of the territory and the living needs of the villagers.

This decision proved to be the right one, and on the third day of the meeting, Li Ran received an urgent report from the scouts that two large tribes and a medium-sized biota of sharp-horned blood apes might pass through the territory in the next few days.

The next morning, the logging and collecting team of Shadow Blade and Purple Cloud Blossom, which had been routinely out, did not go out, nor did Xia Houben, Tang Shi and others go out to encircle and suppress, and the archers were stationed at the outpost. For a while, there was a storm, and Li Ran announced that the territory was in a state of combat readiness.

Li Ran, who is in the conference hall at the moment. Looking at the sand table with a frown, the people around him were also worried, and the scout leader Histan was pointing to a golden ore not far from the leopard head statue in the territory and said: "Now the closest to us is this high-rock minotaur tribe, which is still more than sixty miles away from us, judging from the routes observed in the past two days, it should pass through our territory."

"Is the strength reconnaissance clear?" didn't wait for Li Ran to ask. The old village chief on the side, Morga, couldn't help but ask, and scolded himself in his heart, why can't these guys be a little more peaceful, and they have to run to our side.

The leader of the scouts, Histen, looked at Li Ran, saw that he nodded, and said: "Preliminary investigation, there are more than five hundred high-rock minotaur warriors in the main combat arm of this tribe, of which nearly four hundred are tenth-order high-rock minotaur warriors, and another hundred or so are advanced eleventh-order high-rock minotaur warriors. In addition, there are about a thousand fourth-order hardcover dwarven warriors and dozens of twelfth-order mountain giants. In addition, there are more than 1,000 people from his own tribe, which is worth mentioning. Among them, juvenile fighters account for about half.

This is a stronger opponent than the previous Modo, this is the first impression of everyone present, compared to the Modo tribe is known for its brutality, the Minotaur warriors are known for their bravery and fearlessness, and they also belong to the famous powerful troops, and this time it is also one of the best High Rock Minotaurs, although the number is about the same as the previous Modo warriors, but there is no doubt that the bravery of the Minotaur warriors is more admirable. But being an opponent is also more distressing.

After listening to Histan's intelligence, everyone couldn't help but frown again. There is no chance to pick up the bargain this time, and it is undoubtedly a dangerous thing to have to face such a strong opponent alone. Fortunately, this time it was on the defensive side, but how long the walled gate of the territory could hold out under the attack of the opponent's High Rock Minotaur and Mountain Giant was a headache.

After all, whether it is a minotaur or a mountain giant, they all have incomparably powerful power. Destroying buildings is naturally a piece of cake. With the current defense capability of the territory, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold out for a few minutes.

"I don't think the other party will necessarily attack us, after all, except for the dwarves, the temper is not good, although the minotaur as the main combat class has a little temper, but if you don't provoke them, the aggression is not high" Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little solemn. The old village chief Morga thought for a while and said, "And with our troops, they don't necessarily dare to attack us."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but talk uproar, now the troops in the territory are sufficient, although they are not necessarily stronger than the side of the Gaoyan Minotaurs, but they are about the same, as long as the other party is seen, I don't believe that they dare to attack. Wouldn't that be dangerous?

It turned out that his territory had unconsciously developed to this point, and several elders in the territory were even brighter at this time, looking at the lord, and one of them was about to come out to speak, but found that Li Ran had raised his hand.

"Histan, tell everyone about the movements of these high-rock minotaurs," Li Ran waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and turned slightly to the scout leader.

The latter immediately bent down and said: "According to our observation, these high-rock minotaurs should have suffered a forcible seizure in the early stage, many warriors were a little wounded, and the food they brought was seriously insufficient, and they suddenly diverted to us three days ago, they should have known our territory before, and it is very likely that they came to us to ask for food, and it is not ruled out that they will attack and occupy the territory as already, so as to survive the winter."

"Ah~~" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but talk again, with the increase in population, the food for the winter in the territory has been seriously insufficient, if these guys with amazing appetite want to go to food, then how can they survive the winter.

After a while, seeing that the controversy was a little less, Li Ran waved his hand, and when he was quiet, he suddenly asked loudly: "The matter has been laid out in front of us, the other party has decided to rob us of our supplies and food, maybe it will occupy our home, what do you say we should do?" ”

With Li Ran's shout, some belligerent people such as the Leopard Race and others had already shouted, and they all said that they wanted to fight, and for a while, the cries of battle resounded throughout the council hall, and even the guards standing guard outside the door couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword in their hands.

Now that the war has been decided, Li Ran has issued several orders in succession, assigning the troops to everyone, and announcing that he has officially entered the state of pre-war preparation.

After everyone left, Li Ran left Doric and Histan behind on the pretext of taking a closer look at the other party's situation.

After a while, Li Ran glanced at Hisstein and saw that the latter seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and asked, "Are you still wondering why I asked you to lie?" ”

Histan glanced at Doric next to him, and Li Ran said that there was no problem. The leader of the scouts bowed and said, "My subordinates don't dare, they just don't understand."

Li Ran stared at Histan until the other party showed a trace of uneasiness before he said cautiously: "Very good, a leader who can think is what I need, you also saw the situation just now, many people, even the brave leader of the leopard people, were skeptical about the battle at the beginning, not to mention those territorial guards and ordinary soldiers, in the face of an unknown battle, do you think their morale will be high if they participate in the war like this?" And against the valiant Minotaur warriors, do you think we'll win this way? ”

Hearing Li Ran say this, the scout leader couldn't help but nodded.

Li Ran then continued: "You also know about the graveyard of the dead, a small cemetery, a small vampire count, killed so many of our residents and warriors, and finally made us helpless, in addition to not daring to take revenge, but also to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to avoid them, in order to harvest such a little wood, now do you still think that the territory is strong enough?" Those elders in the territory are eager for stability, and it is reasonable to hope that there will be fewer wars, but they didn't expect that the more the villagers want to be safe, the more they need the development of the territory. If there is no development, and in the end, it will not be reduced to the same as before, allowing others to slaughter according to their preferences, will the villagers at that time still be safe? ”

After a long time, Li Ran suddenly received a dinging sound from the system, reminding his subordinate Hisstein to dedicate his loyalty to you. At the same time, the leader of the scouts also knelt down on one knee and said slowly: "I know your wishes, and I hereby swear by Hisstein of the Yakli clan that I will follow my lord for the rest of my life."

This jingle represents everything, Li Ran smiled and helped the latter up and said: "Okay, since you have understood my intentions, then the information of the Gaoyan Minotaur will be tracked in time, and in addition, you should arrange your affairs as soon as possible, and I will let Tang Zhi cooperate with you tomorrow."

Heather, who had already given his loyalty, nodded immediately, and after a few words of explanation, he turned to leave, his eyes revealing a trace of essence, and a ripple rippled from his body unconsciously, and his steps seemed to suddenly become more steady between walking.
