Chapter 1199: Sidemirror Fortress
Heading north, in addition to resting at the stations along the way for two days, the army set foot on the shallow sea area of the alliance side half a month later, and entered the territory of the Holy Falcon Alliance by a large transport ship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The landing was a medium-sized stronghold, and although it was managed by an earl of the Oakington Empire, it was actually controlled by several members of the Alliance.
Fortunately, he had been notified in advance, and with Li Ran's trip, there was also the Minister Dean and a Grimum royal guard he brought, otherwise at this time, such a powerful fleet suddenly appeared, maybe it could really cause a riot.
However, even so, it took a whole day from Li Ran and the others' fleet being stationed dozens of kilometers away to contacting the earl to give them access, and when Li Ran and the others set foot here, they also felt the breath of war through the frightened looks of the passers-by on the street and the vigilant eyes of the soldiers on the city wall.
"Lord Terris" On the same night, Dean walked into Li Ran's residence with a person and said, "Let me introduce you, this is the Marquis of Lopez sent by His Majesty."
seemed to have guessed something, at this time Li Ran hurriedly got up and got to know each other with this marquis, and judging from the appearance, the marquis with the name Lopez should also be a person with a more cheerful personality, for Li Ran and others, not only did he not have the arrogance of the previous noble lords, but he seemed to have a very happy expression.
"Because I still have some things, I will rush back to the capital early tomorrow morning" After seeing that the two knew each other, Dean continued: "Considering that you are not familiar with the life here, and the Marquis of Lopez is a famous family, plus he himself likes to travel and knows many noble lords in various countries, including many commanders and generals this time, so His Majesty specially sent him to assist you, on the one hand, to avoid misunderstandings, on the other hand, His Majesty also hopes that you can help him and teach Marquis Lopez how to lead troops to fight."
Hearing this tone of the minister Di'an, Li Ran couldn't help but be a little curious, but fortunately, at this time, this Lopez gave an answer a little helplessly: "Don't laugh, my lord, because I have known the king since I was a child, and I still have some blood relationship, so this guy always asks me to his standards, I can't wait for me to become the second Martil, as for me coming over this time, you don't care, on the surface, it is to assist you, but in fact, I am afraid that you and other lords will fight because they don't know each other."
Although he knew that he could be sent by Dilconel, this Marquis of Lopez must be a clever and capable person in addition to his cheerful personality, but at this time, seeing that he was not only modest, but also opened up the slightly embarrassing situation before with just a few words, Li Ran also smiled and nodded.
As for the departing minister Di'an, Li Ran also stepped forward to thank him again, and finally personally sent him back to the station, and gave him a heavy gift.
"Before coming here, many people said in front of me that you were an arrogant and cruel person" After Li Ran came back, this Lopez couldn't help but smile and said: "Not only did he openly invade our Roaring Island, but he also dared to kill the Duke of Antipater of the Saranca Empire"
Li Ran was not angry about this, but smiled and asked, "I didn't expect that in your eyes, I would be such a person, so what about now?" What am I in your eyes? ”
At this time, Lopez shook his head and said, "Although it is not clear when you first came, judging from your attitude towards Lord Dean just now, I can see that you will definitely not be an arrogant person."
Speaking of this, this one also changed his words and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about this, anyway, these are none of my business, I was entrusted by that guy this time, I came to be a microphone for you, I will convey to you what that guy has to say, what you have to ask, you can also tell me, I can solve it, and what can't be solved is above, as for how to fight this battle, then you have to make your own decision"
I have to say that this person has a very high emotional intelligence and a character that will not be annoying, although he has only just met, Li Ran seems to understand the reason why Dilconel sent him over.
And through inquiry, Li Ran also knew that in addition to himself, this person also had 100,000 horses from the headquarters this time, and he would also join his own legion, so he also asked about the strength of his side to facilitate future cooperation.
It was also that night that Li Ran found a group of teammates and generals, and made a bold decision based on the latest information brought by Lopez and the map of forces he brought.
"It seems that I'm going to retract what I just said" Seeing that Li Ran's side suddenly gave up the original plan to gather at the border fortress after research, and instead approached directly from here, to conquer a temporary stronghold of the Saranca Empire, this Lopez couldn't help but be shocked and said: "Aren't you afraid of being surrounded alone?" And there are several legions of lords there."
However, to his dismay, just as he was persuading the Prince of Territh not to issue this order, which seemed dangerous to him, he found that none of the generals on this side objected, and when they learned that only half of the men had gone on this expedition, the first thing they thought of was how to persuade the prince so that his army could go into battle.
130,000 people! To capture a barbarian stronghold with nearly 200,000 troops and several large military bases nearby, at this time, in the opinion of this Lopez, this guy is really crazy.
However, after he scolded all the way, and finally took advantage of the night to go to the room of the divine envoy Dean, who had not yet left, and told him about it, the latter showed an excited expression.
"In military affairs, you really have to learn from this adult" Seeing Lopez's depressed face, the divine envoy said: "Although I don't know much about strategy, I know that the longer the current confrontation situation lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for our side, and we will not have a unified command than the other side, although we have completed the initial assembly on the border, as long as the war does not start one day, there will always be some people who will have a fluke mentality, and only when they are cornered, they will really fight this war"
"What do you mean?" Hearing Dean's words, Lopez thought for a while and said, "Is it because this Prince Terryth saw this that he would fight this battle regardless of the danger?" Then he's also cold-blooded, no matter what, those soldiers are his own soldiers? ”
Dean thought for a while and said: "I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but he was able to develop into his current power in a weak country like Khan Lock, and began to intervene in the war between our two empires, this person's ambition can also be seen, and the previous battle also showed that this person really has some very amazing war strategies, even His Majesty gave a very high evaluation when analyzing the battle between his capture of Edith and Antipater!" ”
Hearing this, the marquis, who had always had a somewhat loose personality, couldn't help but gasp, and then suddenly asked worriedly: "If you know that this guy is so dangerous, why did you drag him in?" Isn't that the same as luring a wolf into the house? ”
Looking up at the marquis, Dean smiled and said, "Lure the wolf into the room?" What you said is very good, but even if they are really wolves, they have to see whose room they are in, compared to them are wolves, our empire is a pack of fierce tigers, and now Your Majesty is the most fierce beast king, why should we be afraid of them? ”
Thinking about the strength of both sides, the Marquis of Lopez also nodded slightly and said: "I'm just reminding you to remember, even if you know it in your hearts, anyway, that guy hasn't suffered anything since he was a child."
At this time, Lord Dean also smiled and said: "My lord's heart for Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty will definitely know, and now that Prince Terryth is so acquainted with each other, he is willing to help us start this first battle, then I am here to wait for your news."
In this regard, Lopez also nodded and said: "Got it, I will send air cavalry to inform you as soon as there is news."
After saying this, Lopez was about to leave, and at this time, Lord Dean also suddenly spoke: "Although the Prince of Terryth did not invite you to participate in this battle, if you can, you had better send a few cronies over, not to mention the defeat, if you really want to win by luck, you can appropriately relax the authority given to them by His Majesty."
For the people of the Holy Falcon Alliance, no one knows what these guys from the Khan Rock Empire think, they were obviously brought over as cannon fodder, and if they encounter this situation, they will definitely be able to hide, but these guys seem to have come to their main battlefield, and they just came here, and they didn't even report to the fortress, so they rushed to the opposite battlefield and strangled with the Saranka Empire.
What's even more unexpected is that they were able to successfully eliminate a stronghold while surrounded by enemies on all sides, but also let them run and fight again, along with several surrounding Saranka legions.
Because of this, it may also be that they have seen their strong combat effectiveness, although when they arrived at the fortress, this army from Prince Terris of the Khan Rock Empire seemed to have suffered heavy casualties, but when they saw the many prisoners behind them, as well as the rich materials captured, everyone no longer dared to despise them, including the quartermaster who was ready to make things difficult for them before, at this time, not only did he send someone to repair it, but the damaged garrison that was originally prepared to be arranged for them was given priority in the supply of food and grass for the army.
In Li Ran's opinion, including the communication with Lopez in advance, he also knew that from the overall structure, in addition to a few liaison corps of other empires, this border fortress belonged to the main defense area of the Greenom and Redor empires, so on the day he arrived, Li Ran found this person, and under his leadership, he visited several main persons in charge of this fortress first.
