Chapter 686: Formal Alliance

In addition, the super-rank and above troops recruited this time, except for the three druid masters who have reached the sixteenth order and the remaining seven legendary-level adult body green dragons, Li Ran did not include all of them in the guards according to the custom, a total of one hundred and thirty-six forest dragon beasts and fifty-two underage green dragons, plus his remaining twenty-three thorn earth dragons, Li Ran classified them all into the regular corps, for the teammates to use in the usual expedition to encircle and suppress.

According to statistics, 6,000 warriors of all races were killed in this war, plus more than 5,000 people lost by the other party in capturing the elven territory before, the overall casualties were about 11,000 people, of which the middle and high-level troops were the mainstay, and the elven troops recruited after being captured were as high as more than 24,000 people, including many troops above the top rank, which was the biggest war they had gained so far.

In addition to the gains of these troops, although this elven tribe fled out, it was obviously prepared in the early days, which can be seen from the life skills and underage children who were carefully protected by them, so among the few materials they brought out, there were many valuable materials, including assembly, antiques, treasures, and so on.

So for the next period of time, the entire territory was immersed in this joy, but for Li Ran and the others, it was even busier, not only to compensate those soldiers who died in this battle, but the territory suddenly had more than 50,000 people, how to make them full is also a big problem, you must know that among the more than 50,000 people, nearly half of them are full-time warriors, except for fighting, they will not collect and plant these life skills.

Fortunately, the food for the winter had been prepared before the territory, and even if the more than 50,000 people were counted, they could barely last for about two months, so after discussing these reorganization matters and follow-up work with everyone, Li Ran took out all the remaining funds and ordered Zhou Xun to re-organize the caravan that had been stopped for a long time, so that they could purchase food from other cities in case of emergency, and at the same time took out some of the valuable materials seized by the elf tribe for Zhou Xun and others to sell.

And on this night. In the study of the old man Hu Shihai, Hu Zhijun and Wang Haiyan, who had returned from the battle map, also told them about the situation on Li Ran's side.

"What? In just two or three days, Li Ran took back the elven territory? And captured more than 20,000 troops? "Hu Huaming. That is, Hu Zhijun's father said with a surprised expression after listening to what his daughter-in-law Wang Haiyan said.

Hearing his father's inquiry, Hu Zhijun nodded again and said, "Indeed, when we left, Li Ran's army had already returned to the city of Thun. In addition to more than 20,000 inhabitants and creatures of various elven races, there were about 26,000 captives of the troops brought back, of which more than 2,000 were above the top rank, including more than 180 super-level troops and seven legendary-level adult green dragons."

For them, who have not been able to recruit a few super-level troops so far, they can't help but be surprised to hear this news, and Hu Hualin, who is also a lord, is even more envious of this.

"Grandpa, what you said is right, it seems that I really underestimated this Li Ran before" At this time, Hu Zhijun suddenly looked at the old man and said solemnly.

Hu Shihai, who was in deep thought, paused slightly, and then smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, not bad!" Be able to see the good in others. Don't be self-righteous, this is a very good thing, I didn't expect this Li Ran to help me train my grandson invisibly, it seems that I have to thank him in person."

Seeing that the old man seemed to be in a good mood, as juniors, they couldn't help but smile, and after a while, Hu Shihai suddenly said: "Actually, I'm not the same as you, I thought that through the last incident, I had touched the bottom of this guy, but I didn't expect this Li Ran to surprise me again and again, to be honest, even I can't see through him now."

Wang Haiyan smiled and said, "Grandpa." You are too modest, no matter how powerful Li Ran is, he has only stayed in the third world for a while longer, and he has seen more than us, if you are an old man, you are also in the third world like him. That's not long before you dominate the side."

Waving his hand, Hu Shihai smiled and said, "As far as your little girl can praise people, did you go and tell him what I mean this time?" ”

Although Hu Shihai said it easily, as a family, whether it was Hu Hualin or Hu Zhijun present, even Hu Zhijun and his wife knew that the old man was really interested this time. The more the old man of his own family looked relaxed to outsiders, but it was the moment to make an important decision, and he seemed to ask casually at this time, but he officially expressed his attitude of cooperating with Li Ran.

At this time, Hu Zhijun nodded solemnly and said: "We have already told him when we left, and he agrees with your opinion, whether it is troops or personnel, he will help when we need it."

"Then did you tell him about your third uncle?" Ho Chi Minh asked from the side.

Hu Zhijun sighed and said: "He saw that we raided and captured the nearby territory, the reason is that between the lords of the battle map, unless it is a follower relationship of the soul contract, there is no real friend at all, as long as the city lord is given enough benefits at one time, so that this person can remain neutral for the time being, and at the same time, he will support our forces, let us take another territory as soon as possible, so that we can talk to that city lord on an equal footing, and finally annex this person with development"

This plan is not surprising, even Hu Hualin and others have already thought of it before, but it is one of the fastest ways to solve the embarrassing situation in front of them, so at this time, these people in the Hu family couldn't help but glance at each other.

"And how many troops can he support us?" Hu Huaming, who is the chief of staff, asked first.

At this time, Wang Haiyan replied: "Regarding this, Li Ran also said that if the situation allows, he will reinforce our more than 1,500 top-level troops, as well as about 200 super-rank troops."

Hearing this number, Hu Hualin's eyes couldn't help but light up, with his current strength is enough to take the territory closest to him, he has not dared to make a move before mainly because he is afraid of the other family, but with these two thousand top-level troops and two hundred, even if these two territories come together, he is not afraid.

Thinking of being able to open up the embarrassing situation that had plagued him for several months at once, Hu Hualin couldn't help but feel the spirit, and Hu Shihai also smiled and said: "It seems that when the strength reaches a certain time, the so-called strategy is also redundant, then okay, this matter will be handed over to you to do, you will tell Li Ran, from now on, we will be considered a formal alliance, and you must find out as soon as possible on the battle map, how far is the distance between your third uncle's territory and Li Ran, if it happens, Maybe we'll be able to open up an unexpected situation on the campaign map" (To be continued.) )
