Chapter 1042: Dragon Rider

Two days passed, and after all the warriors had been fully rested and adjusted, although Li Ran ordered to set up a star-breaking crossbow on this abandoned site, it was not only covered with an elven shield, but also sprinkled with a lot of fallen leaves used as a disguise, obviously in Li Ran's plan, it was not time to use them in the short term.

Next, through the previously set plan, Li Ran first personally selected nearly 2,000 people out of the 10,000 troops to form a vanguard force.

In this vanguard force, the number of flying troops has reached an astonishing 700, including flying apes, Valkyries, archangels, and floating clouds, etc., of course, the largest number of which are various dragons with a number of nearly 300.

In addition, in this vanguard force, in addition to these flying arms, Li Ran in the ground corps, in addition to arranging the Red Flame Blood Lion with a number of five hundred and fast speeds and some other creatures, he also deliberately pointed out a High Elf cavalry that had been trained.

At this time, this High Elf Cavalry Corps riding a huge white tiger and neatly formed was at the peak of the Legendary Rank, and nearly one hundred and fifty of them had reached the Legendary Rank, which was another High Cavalry Regiment that Li Ran had entrusted Marquis Viola to carefully build.

When handing over this vanguard corps to Tang Shi, Qian Hui, and several relevant clan leaders to lead the team, Li Ran had only one request for them, that is, to kill the troops of the Red Dragon Castle on the opposite side as effectively as possible who were patrolling or going out.

Although it was inevitable that they would arouse the vigilance of the local creatures when they marched into this place before, because of the thorough preparation in advance, the roads that their army passed along the way, although seemingly random, were all passages that had been secretly scouted and cleared in the early months, and some small nests and territories along the way had already been eradicated in advance.

And during the march, Li Ran also consciously divided the army into pieces in places where there were more creatures, as long as he was not deliberately observed, he believed that even if those guys in the Red Dragon Castle got the news, it would not be their entire strength, at most, they would only think that another foreign race had migrated here, and they should send some of their kind to loot it soon after.

Sure enough, I don't know if it's because of its own strength, or because of the old enemy on the other side, the Red Dragon Castle, which has not experienced other wars for too long, didn't immediately discover or care about the abnormalities in its own area, so it sent people over to investigate, and Li Ran sent a vanguard corps at this time, led by Tang Shi and Qian Hui and a number of important leaders, what to do is to provoke these guys to attack by effectively killing and injuring the opponent's living force.

This is a seemingly simple and easy war plan, but it is the best war plan for the Sunset Mountain Range with some special circumstances, it has been tried and tested many times before, Li Ran believes that as long as his early preparations are not biased, with the tyranny and greed of the red dragon, and the personality that refuses to suffer, this plan can be carried out.

Sure enough, while Li Ran was making pre-war preparations at the ruins site, and the orc team and the same kind died one after another due to going out to patrol, and the number was still increasing, the red dragon in the red dragon castle finally realized that something was wrong.

But what Li Ran didn't expect was that Tang Zhi, who came back, clearly saw the angry red dragons flying and roaring in the sky, but except for some short-sighted attempts to attack them at the beginning and were destroyed, even if the other red dragons formed a formation, after seeing the bait they deliberately dispersed, they still did not attack themselves, but followed them all the way with great vigilance.

For the tyrannical and irritable red dragon, who has always claimed to be the most powerful of the five-colored dragons, such a move is obviously unreasonable, and from Li Ran's point of view, the biggest suspicion here is still those strange orcs that they are not very familiar with.

Although through reconnaissance in the early stage, they knew some of the strength of these orcs, such as they could rival the silver dragonmen with dragon blood, and they were quite familiar with the operation of battle arrays, and even some of them could ride these tyrannical red dragons when needed.

But riding is riding, and the current situation is that they have made these red dragons change their instinctive reactions, which is far beyond the scope of riding, and it is also the reason why Li Ran is worried.

You must know that even among the many arms, the most famous type of dragon knight, most of the time can only fight according to the instinctive reaction of the dragon clan who sits down, on the other hand, the so-called dragon knight is actually more like a knight who assists and cooperates with the dragon creatures under the seat to fight.

And to make the dragon creatures under the seat act according to their own wishes, in addition to the need for the two to go through a long-term run-in, but also need the true recognition of these unruly dragon clans, which is already the standard of some of the most powerful dragon knights, and this word represents control, which is not easy.

In this way, Li Ran couldn't help but feel that this war was even more troublesome, and when he was fully disrupting the troops, he no longer dared to send vanguard troops on his own, because the red dragons wandering in the air from time to time were always scouting this abandoned ruins, and on their backs, they could faintly see a sturdy half-orcs wrapped in heavy armor.

But after three consecutive days of showing weakness, he did not wait for the other party's attack, but under the coercion of these red dragons, the abandoned site where Li Ran was located was attacked by several tentative attacks by local forces, but fortunately, Li Ran and the others commanded properly, and did not let other troops and those star-breaking crossbows appear, but even so, it still made Li Ran even more worried.

At noon that day, seeing that the morale was a little low, Li Ran decisively ordered to launch the most fierce counterattack against the red dragon group that was wandering around the ruins, constantly making threatening dragon groans, and blatantly scouting them.

Under the magic of the Winged Serpent Clan, with five hundred Flowing Cloud Floating Leopards responsible for delaying the opponent's speed, more than three hundred dragons above the legendary rank as the main attack, and many other flying apes and Valkyries, including three Zox Worms, will start a fierce battle with hundreds of red dragons in the air, and finally with the loss of nearly a hundred troops, they finally drove away these red dragons who besieged and tried to spy on them, and also killed the same number of red dragons on the other side.

And when Tang Shi sent a few surviving seriously injured orc captives, Li Ran also had his first head-on contact with these guys who could control the tyrannical red dragon.

Judging from their appearance, the height of these half-orcs was about two meters, and after taking off their heavy and hideous armor, Li Ran and the others not only saw their extremely tense muscles, but were even more surprised to find that there were so many terrifying wounds on their bodies, and even their fierce eyes after being injured made people feel a little suffocated.

And after several archmages present, through the two-way reconnaissance of soul and magic, Li Ran and the others also knew that these guys belonged to a half-beast warrior named the Mo Blazing Clan, and their level had even reached the legendary level, which was no worse than the red dragon they controlled.

Even under the soul detection of these archmages, Li Ran and the others also knew the reason why they became dragon warriors, that is, during the trial, these half-beast warriors of the Mo Blazing Clan and the red dragons to be surrendered, or other creatures were locked in a closed space, as for the result, either the red dragon ate him out, or he became their mount, and obeyed their command in the future, and most of the wounds they saw just now were left in this cruel and inhumane trial, Because in this kind of trial, these Mochi orcs are not allowed to wear any equipment.

This is a terrifying warrior who combines strength and agility, and at the same time is extremely explosive! By feeling the dangerous aura emanating from their bodies, as well as observing the muscle lines on their bodies and the obviously much thicker right arm, Li Ran couldn't help but give such an evaluation in his heart.

At the same time, Li Ran also made a comparison in his heart based on the various data given by these archmages, and finally found that in his regular legion, in addition to the troops with obvious talents and specialties such as the Mantis and the Cyr clan, the only ones who can compete with them at the same level may only be the Zerela clan.

"It seems that our previous estimation is still wrong, in this Red Dragon Castle, in addition to those ancient red dragons of the destruction level, the threat of these Mochi Clan half-orcs who came out of nowhere is also huge" After waving his hand to let these injured half-orcs take away, Li Ran couldn't help but speak.

And after hearing Li Ran's words, several teammates present, including many leaders, also nodded slightly in agreement, although they did not fight these Mochi Clan orcs head-on, but just by virtue of their courage to fight a life-and-death duel with the powerful Dragon Clan in the secret room, it can be seen that this race is not only fierce to the enemy, but also ruthless to themselves, and on the battlefield, such an opponent is obviously the most terrifying.

"But you don't have to worry too much, even if we dare to come over this time, we are well prepared" At this time, seeing everyone's silent expressions, Li Ran also smiled and said: "Besides, we finally met an interesting opponent, so let's have a good time with them this time."

Hearing Li Ran say this, all the leaders present couldn't help but be sure in their hearts, among them, the leader of the hill giants, Torgang, even opened his mouth and shouted: "My lord, if we don't fight directly, forget it, anyway, these guys are so cautious, they don't dare to attack us again, in the end, it's not just a matter of killing more people and fewer people, although we don't know tactics or anything, but we are not afraid of death when we fight" (To be continued.) )
