Seeing that this guy was really active, and he knew the general situation of Li Ran and them with just a few words, Hu Hualin also smiled and did not speak, although the two sides are now cooperating closely, and there is no interest relationship between them, but in the army, matters related to face still have to be fought for.

You must know that this time they agreed to come over to their own side of the battle map, saying that it is cooperation, in fact, it is also a disguised surrender, this matter has made the old man happy for a long time before, every time he meets Uncle Wang, he has to show it, if they are in contact with Li Ran, with the latter's current means, maybe they can really help them open up the situation, don't say that they will take refuge at that time, it is difficult to say whether it is cooperation or not, after all, there is only one credit, and it is naturally better for two people to share it than one person to enjoy it alone.

And seeing that this Master Hu was not ready to go into detail about this matter, this one also smiled and did not continue to ask, and after chatting for a while about the specific steps of the next, he also took his own people back to the city.

"This guy! Sure enough, it was a soldier brought out by Uncle Wang, who seemed to be weak and weak, as fine as a monkey, and wanted to inquire about Li Ran from me, and it was very beautiful! After seeing this person leave, Hu Hualin couldn't help but whisper.

What he didn't know was that just a few hours later, when the Liao Division Commander returned to the city, he chose to go offline as soon as possible and knocked on Commander Wang's door.

At noon that day, the army led by Li Ran and his teammates was finally about to arrive at the target location of the trip, and for the sake of safety, after arranging for the army to be stationed in a relatively wide area, Li Ran also personally led a team to investigate the situation of the Sels stronghold.

Under the leadership of the scout leader Histen, after half a day's journey, on a small hillside, Li Ran and the others finally saw the stronghold where Duke Sells was located in the distance.

On the surface, this territory is not too outstanding, except that it is larger than the average territory, at most it is only about the same as a small city, and at this time the gate is closed, and it is obvious that after learning of their arrival, it is already in a state of combat readiness, and the walls are full of warriors in armor.

In order to beware of their reconnaissance team, Li Ran and they didn't stay here for too long, but just like that, after using the skill of expanding their horizons, they also saw that the inner city of this castle was indeed a little different from the outer city, and after seeing that there were indeed nine giant columns around the inner city castle, they also admitted the judgment of the high elf guard captain in their hearts.

So now the last question is how to occupy a territory with more troops than them when it is difficult to directly break through the city defenses.

And in the next two days of observation, they also affirmed the judgment of the scout leader Histan, the Duke of Sells really has a hidden force here, and the number of warriors in this small territory has exceeded 100,000 at this time.

But although he has nearly twice as many troops as himself, Li Ran is not afraid of a head-on duel, he brought high-level troops this time, although he did suffer some casualties in the middle, but the Winged Serpent's team reduced this casualty to a minimum, and now there are about 42,000 combat troops, and nearly half of them are super-level troops, he believes that he is not weaker than the other party in the level of high-level troops.

And he also has an advantage, that is, he can summon at any time Legendary and above troops, although they cannot decide the victory of a large-scale war with their individual strength, but they can instantly break the deadlock of the war and effectively improve the morale of their side.

In addition, what Li Ran did not announce to the public was that the last time he paid so many sacrificial items in the capital, except for a small amount of archangels and templars shown to the king, the main thing he gained was the expansion of the lord's war space, and he can now recruit nine hundred and ninety warriors in one go, and the number of troops that can be carried is nearly one-third more than before, reaching more than three thousand.

With this high-level corps of nearly 1,000 people, Li Ran believed that in the case of a head-to-head duel, even if his own strength was less than half of the opponent's, it would still be no problem to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

But now that the other party has a defensive advantage and has this inner city that is almost impossible to break, Li Ran has no confidence in a battle, so after thinking about it again, he decided to adopt another plan, that is, to be more patient with this duke.

At noon the next day, with Li Ran's order, the garrison began to move, and directly came to an open area more than ten miles away from the other party and settled down, and with the leadership of all teammates, they directly began to build fortifications here.

Unexpectedly, the other party had been stationed dozens of miles away from him for two days, but after the sudden march today, he still did not attack, and he also blatantly built fortifications outside his territory, which made Duke Sells a little misguided.

But as a commander, he would not be like those reckless city lords, who would be angry when they saw such a provocation, and at this time, after a company sent a large number of scouts to reconnoitre, and found that the other party was already on guard and ready for battle, the former Duke of Sells couldn't help but smile coldly.

He had been guarding here for decades, and had laid countless eyeliners in this dark forest, including the groups of creatures that Li Ran had encountered along the way, many of which were his eyes and ears, so he knew very well where the advantages of himself and this Duke of Territh werew.

I have to say that the strength of this Duke of Terryth's class is indeed beyond his expectations, not to mention those epic creatures that have not yet appeared, just the Shura army of nearly 10,000 people surprised him, he didn't expect that this duke still has such a terrible legion, in addition, the other party's more famous elves, minotaurs, Loso clan and giant warriors, the other party brought out nearly 10,000 super-level warriors in one breath this time, even he felt a little shocked.

But he also has his own advantages, the 120,000 legions he is stationed here are nearly three times the number of the other party, and the people who can be here are also their own elite corps, most of which are also above the top rank, although they are inferior to the other party in terms of super-level and above troops, he only has more than 10,000 people, but he has a defensive advantage, but he is full of confidence in holding here, and all this is due to his confidence in this castle.

As for the other party's high-level creatures above the legendary level, or even the epic level, although Duke Sells didn't know the specific number, he believed that the number could not be too many, and in addition to some ordinary city-defending giant crossbows, he also had more than forty expensive star-breaking crossbows, so he was very relieved in this regard.

His biggest advantage is defense, so this forbearant duke will never try to go out of the city to raid because of a small move by the other party, and the facts have proved his thoughts, the other party has obviously been prepared for a long time, I am afraid that before his side rushes over, what he is waiting for will be the other party's head-on attack.

On Li Ran's side, after building these basic fortifications, Li Ran unceremoniously began to clean up, as Xia Houben and others led the team away, all the creatures within a radius of nearly fifty kilometers around became their targets, which naturally included the scouts of the Duke of Sers, more than a hundred Sphinx giant wolves above the legendary level, plus some high elves patrolling, roaming around this territory every day, and in just a few days, nearly three hundred scouts and sentinels were killed.

At this time, the usefulness of the high class was also reflected at this moment, in the face of these powerful biological classes that came and went like the wind, even Duke Sells was a little depressed, but he also had no good way to guard these Sphink giant wolves and high elves who appeared in formations.

With the territory under full control, although he also wants to eliminate these troops, and he also believes that he has the ability to use those high-level forces in his hands to level these high elves and Sphinx giant wolves, but the movement speed of these guys is too fast, it is impossible to pursue them, and if the siege tactics are adopted, the time consumed is enough for the rapid troops of Duke Territh to arrive.

So after a few days, it was basically a lonely city, and in the end, even the local biota outside had thought of sending people to lure them over at the beginning of the war, but they were also culled by the Duke of Terris in advance.

At this time, Duke Sells couldn't help but think of burning the other party's grain and grass again, because in the dark forest, if the tens of thousands of troops had no food and grass, it would definitely have to retreat or attack in advance, but when he ventured to launch a surprise attack with a corps late that night, he found that the other party had already taken precautions, and in the face of the Cyr warriors who suddenly appeared, his army of 2,000 people and more than a hundred fire archmages finally only came back with more than 300 people, and suffered the biggest blow so far.

After a few more days, seeing that the other party still had no sign of attacking the city, at this time, seeing the soldiers in the city, because of the panic that had been besieged for too long, Duke Sells knew that he was in trouble.

Fortunately, most of these soldiers who could follow him after he defected from the empire were confidants who had followed him for many years, so although this panic appeared, it was still within his control.

But at this moment, after clearing all the hidden dangers around him, Li Ran began to attack the outer city of this territory, as for the attack method, it was very simple, that is, to use the long-range attack advantage of the High Elves, so early the next morning, when more than 200 High Elf archers appeared on the battlefield unscrupulously, the nightmare on the side of Duke Sells began.
