Hearing Li Ran's analysis, Wu Tongtong is also a smart person, and while he came to his senses, he naturally understood that since the master had already known about this, he must have his reasons for still agreeing to complete the transaction, so he couldn't help but look at Li Ran with some curiosity at this time.

Knowing her thoughts, Li Ran smiled and said: "But what he never expected is that we have the three prophets of the Zerella clan, even if they have the unique ability to expand the heart of the creature, it is naturally not a problem to repair the biological space, and I asked them before when I learned about this skill of theirs, they can also expand the creature hearts of other races, although the effect is not as good as expanding the creature hearts of their own race, but as long as they can keep the creature hearts of the Syr clan, our deal will be a sure success."

Hearing Li Ran say this, Wu Tongtong, who suddenly came to his senses, couldn't help but nod again and again, and at the same time remembered Li Ran and Count Staunt just now, one of them was moved by love, pretending to be bold but harboring ghosts, and the other was hesitant, pretending to be entangled but knowing, Wu Tongtong was really drunk at this moment.

Entering the third world again, when they returned to one of their strongholds, Li Ran told his teammates about this trading mission, and was surprised by this, and all his teammates also expressed their support.

"Brother Ran, just say it directly, what are we going to do next?" Zhang Debiao shouted first.

Nodding, Li Ran said after a while: "Since everyone agrees, then we have to change our strategy next, first of all, all the troops will be assembled, and the Cao team and Cai Chang will be fully responsible for this matter, and at the same time, the Zhou team and Wu Tongtong will rush back to the town territory as soon as possible, under the condition of ensuring that there are enough troops to defend." Bring all the troops you can muster."

Seeing that he had nodded in the past few days to indicate that he understood, Li Ran continued to speak: "Next, Tang Consulting." You and Hisstein lead the scouts to intensify their reconnaissance of the Dark Castle, and inform the scouts who followed Lydia in the past. She must not be allowed to talk to the Nazr City Lord, as the situation can exacerbate the conflict between them."

Next, talking about the preparations, Li Ran said to Xia Houben: "In order to deal with the possible battle with the Dark Castle, your task is to lead the troops to clear all the hidden dangers between our stronghold and the Dark Castle."

As one order after another was issued, from the moment the meeting was dismissed, the teammates who changed their mission strategy from passive to active began to be busy, because all kinds of preparations had to be implemented in advance.

In just over a week, as the construction of the stronghold here came to an end, Li Ran began to plan one step further. And for that recorder. After sending a large number of gold coins, he even praised Li Ran in the report, indicating that when he completed the task assigned by the Empire, he saw the current situation of the Dark Forest and actively devoted himself to the great task of killing dark creatures in the Empire.

However, considering that it was difficult for him to know what happened next, a few days later, Li Ran asked Doric to return to Banoga City with the recorder under the pretext of safety concerns.

For Li Ran's decision, this recorder was naturally very happy to accept it, and he was in a stronghold in the dark forest. Surely he wasn't safe in Banoga City, and now that the construction was almost complete, there was no need for him to stay here any longer, as long as they showed him the loot from the dark creatures. Then his task will be completely accomplished.

After sending off the recorder, Li Ran's troops also began to be officially assembled, in just two or three days. The number of troops in his stronghold alone has reached a staggering 20,000, of which 5,000 are high-level tungsten steel war bears. There are also 2,500 Ghostface Golems, plus the main battle classes of Giant Warriors, Minotaur Warriors, and Modo Berserkers. Together, they alone numbered 12,000.

In addition, Zhou Xun also brought a thousand Yagang dwarf warriors with him this time, of which half were mutant thorn stone cavalry and half of the full-covered hardcover hammer shield warriors, plus two thousand tentacle spirit beetles, and another thousand mantis warriors and five hundred iceblade silverback demon wolves.

As for the remaining ranged troops, there are also some top-level, super-level and even legendary troops, and the overall number at this time has reached nearly 3,000 people.

At the same time, in addition to these troops, there were also Niu Feng, Yao Jie and Dubu Youran, who had not experienced such a big deal with Li Ran, but they felt a deep shock at this moment.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, then let's make a long story short," Li Ran said with a cough in a command room that was temporarily used as a conference hall.

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Li Ran nodded and said to Zhou Xun first: "Team Zhou, now we have nearly 20,000 people, military rations and equipment are the primary issue, where are you escorting the convoy of military rations?" ”

Hearing Li Ran's inquiry, Zhou Xun thought for a while and gave an approximate location.

Li Ran said with a sigh: "It's done, if it's still not enough, you can arrange personnel to go to Banoga City in advance to purchase, and the other is the equipment problem, during this time, because you are hurrying to destroy the surrounding area and the road leading to the dark castle, so whether it is the archers' arrows or the equipment of other melee troops, there are varying degrees of consumption and damage, the existing thirty-five dwarf craftsmen are already a little too busy, you had better transfer some people from the town, and you must also hurry up to arrange a convoy to send over the required materials." , the forging materials here are not only expensive but also generally not of high quality, if they are put into battle, I am afraid that it will affect our combat effectiveness."

Zhou Xun also nodded again and again, and at the same time, he replied to the question of forging materials that Li Ran said: "In the military rations escorted this time, I have arranged ten carts of refined iron, tungsten steel and other raw materials, as for the craftsman, I will arrange someone to escort him over as soon as possible, and it should be possible to arrive in four or five days by light car."

Saying hello to Zhou Xun again, Li Ran turned to Tang Shi and said: "The work of you and Histan will continue to be strengthened, the reason why I dare to take this task is mainly because we know the current environment inside this dark castle, and for us, whether it is the side of Lydia and the city lord Nazr who wins, there may only be one chance for us, that is, when they are at the end of the war and both are defeated, once they miss the opportunity, it may only take a day or two. When their victorious side recovers and regains strength, we will completely lose the opportunity to fight a battle" (To be continued.) )
